Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 575 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (54)

In the evening, Yan Zhen returned to the Yan family home after get off work.

As soon as she entered, the butler came up to her and whispered, "Miss, the young master is packing his things. He heard that you and the young master are getting a divorce, and he has been sitting on the swing in the back garden for more than an hour. No one can persuade him to come back."

Yan Zhen focused on the first half of the housekeeper's sentence and casually said, "It's getting dark and chilly outside. Give Xiao Yu a jacket. He can stay in the back garden as long as he likes. If he wants to stay there overnight, send him a blanket."

Butler: "...Okay."

Yan Zhen went upstairs, and before he even got out of the elevator, he heard Xiao Huang's heart-wrenching screams.

She frowned slightly. When the elevator stopped on the fifth floor, the doors opened and several suitcases and some cat supplies appeared in the lobby. Xiao Huang was stuffed into a carrier. It seemed to realize that it was going to be taken away by Gao Shenghan, and it was scratching the carrier desperately, trying to get out.

Yan Zhen walked over quickly, opened the carrier, and released Xiao Huang.

As soon as Xiao Huang crawled out of its carrier, it immediately ran back to its room.

Gao Shenghan, who was tidying up in the dressing room, came out when he heard the noise. He saw that Yan Zhen had released Xiao Huang and looked helpless. Just as he was about to speak, Yan Zhen said, "Keep this cat."

“It’s my premarital property, so I’ll take it,” Gao Shenghan said. “You have so many cats at home, you won’t miss this one.”

Yan Zhen sneered: "Are you sure you want to settle all the pre-marital and post-marital assets with me so meticulously?"

Gao Shenghan sensed a threat in her words: "What do you mean?"

“Since you want to calculate it this way, then I don’t mind arguing with you,” Yan Zhen said. “The clothes you’re wearing now, the expensive watch on your wrist, the car you usually drive, and all the luggage you’re packing to take with you—wasn’t all of these bought with my parents’ money?”

My parents' money isn't my money, and it's not part of our marital property. If you insist on taking Xiao Huang with you, then the day you leave the Yan family, you'll have to walk out naked, without even a pair of underwear.

Gao Shenghan: "..."

His expression turned grim for a moment, but he quickly composed himself.

"Fine, Xiao Huang is yours." Gao Shenghan compromised, and then said, "I've booked a table at Red Leaf Villa. Our whole family will have dinner together on Sunday. Our wedding was held at Red Leaf Villa. Since it started there, let's end it there. It's a way to give a complete account of this marriage of more than ten years."

Hongye Mountain Villa is a hot spring resort located in the suburbs. The road up the mountain is winding, and if you drive fast, it's not unusual for something to happen on the mountain road.

It seems this was Gao Shenghan's trap to kill the Yan family.

“Sunday?” Yan Zhen said, “I’m not free.”

Gao Shenghan was taken aback.

He seemed surprised that Yan Zhen would refuse: "Aren't we not working on Sundays? How could this be..."

"Xiao Yun invited me to see a movie on Sunday. He was injured because of me, and now is the time when he is clingy and needs comfort."

"..." Gao Shenghan almost laughed out of anger, his tone becoming sarcastic, "I'm about to divorce you to make room for him, and he's still clinging to you this Sunday. Is he not going to live past this Sunday? He won't even give you time to have a farewell dinner with me?"

No sooner had Gao Shenghan finished speaking than Yan Zhen strode up to him and slapped him hard across the face.

"Try cursing him again!"

Gao Shenghan: "..."

He covered his face, feeling so suffocated that he could barely breathe.

Just then, a crisp "crash" sound came from the stairwell, and Yan Zhen and Gao Shenghan turned around at the same time.

Gao Xinyu returned at some point, wearing a coat draped over his shoulders. His eyes were red and his gaze fell on his parents, who were locked in a standoff. He then ran crying to Gao Shenghan, crying, "Mom, don't hit Dad!"

Gao Shenghan caught him, and the father and son embraced and wept bitterly.

“Xiaoyu, it’s because your father is incompetent and couldn’t keep your mother’s heart that she has other men outside.” Gao Shenghan said between sobs, “After your father and I divorce, whether you choose to stay with your father or your mother, it won’t change the fact that you and I are father and son…”

Gao Xinyu was already upset, and Gao Shenghan's words made him burst into tears. He turned to Yan Zhen for help.

"Mom, please don't get a divorce, okay? Please, I don't want to separate from Dad."

Yan Zhen watched Gao Shenghan's performance with a cold eye for a while, then looked down at the heartbroken Gao Xinyu.

When her parents are getting a divorce, Yan Zhen understands the fear that Gao Xinyu, caught in the middle, feels.

But if he doesn't get a divorce, not only will he lose his mother, but his maternal grandparents and his uncle who loves him the most will also die.

"Xiaoyu." Yan Zhen bent down and looked Gao Xinyu in the eye. "If you don't want to be separated from your father, then go with him."

Gao Xinyu choked, his sobs stuck in his throat.

Gao Shenghan: "..."

Gao Xinyu's crying attracted Yan Ma and the housekeeper, who comforted and carried Gao Xinyu away.

Yan Zhen originally planned to rest at home for the night, but Gao Xinyu's crying made her head throb.

After taking the car keys, she drove to Xiao Yun's residence.

On the way, Yan Zhen recalled Gao Xinyu's crying, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.

She has little patience for children, but the boy did nothing wrong. From the son's perspective, it was his mother's infidelity that led to the breakdown of their family, and the fault lay entirely with his mother.

If left unchecked, even if she manages to deal with Gao Shenghan later, she and Gao Xinyu, who has misunderstood her, will gradually drift apart.

It seems that before dealing with Gao Shenghan, we need to resolve the issues in Gao Xinyu's mind first.

Yan Zhen originally intended to stay at Xiao Yun's house for one night, but when he entered, he found Xiao Yun, who should have been at the hospital, sitting in the living room watching a movie on a large projector.

He was clearly doing his homework, analyzing films, with a laptop on his lap that was already covered in notes.

The two looked at each other. Xiao Yun was taken aback at first, then moved his notebook aside, stood up and greeted him: "You're here. Have you eaten?"

Yan Zhen handed him the bag: "Why aren't you staying at the hospital? What are you doing at home?"

"I don't like staying in the hospital, and my injury can heal at home just as well," Xiao Yun said, then asked, "Have you eaten?"

“I haven’t eaten, but you don’t need to do anything. Just have the housekeeper cook some dumplings.”

Xiao Yun responded and told the nanny to cook dumplings.

Yan Zhen went to the kitchen, intending to get a bottle of water. He opened the refrigerator and found an untouched cake on the crisper drawer.

The cake's cream had melted a little, making it look less appealing. It was complete with cutlery and candles, but the person who bought it didn't seem to intend to eat it.

Yan Zhen then remembered that yesterday was Xiao Yun's birthday.

Gao Shenghan's malicious phone call ruined his birthday.

There was a receipt stuck on the cake box. Yan Zhen took it off and saw that the cake cost 268 yuan.
