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

Chapter 657 Dawn (63)

Yan Zhen remained silent.

Chu Huian felt annoyed at her stubbornness, but at the same time, she sensed something from her attitude—the person who wanted to harm her was not simple, otherwise Yan Zhen would not have covered for her.

His identity is not simple?

Did Yan Zhen cover it up for the other party?

And these are people connected to me and Yan Zhen...

Yan Yi!

The moment Chu Huian deduced this answer, her heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly reached out and grabbed Yan Zhen's collar: "Is he your dad?"

Yan Zhen immediately raised his head.

Even though she tried her best to appear calm, the look of surprise on her face at that moment couldn't lie.

Chu Huian got the answer from Yan Zhen's reaction.

For a moment, Chu Huian didn't know how to respond to this answer.

Every time she thought she had hardened her heart and would no longer be hurt by Yan Yi's actions, Yan Yi would break through the limits of her understanding with his actions and slap her in the face.

Over the years, first there was domestic violence, then infidelity, blatantly keeping another woman, allowing the mistress to come to her door and force her to "step down," and now Yan Yi even wants to kill her...

What on earth did she love?!

Chu Huian thought she would burst into tears like a madwoman, but unexpectedly, she didn't.

Besides anger, all she felt was resentment.

Chu Huian's hands trembled slightly with anger. She stared at Yan Zhen for a while, then let go of his hands, sat down on the chair behind her, and rubbed her face vigorously with her palms to calm herself down as quickly as possible.

After a long pause, Chu Huian regained her voice and calmly asked Yan Zhen, "How did you find out about this?"

Yan Zhen was silent for a moment, then said, "There's no point in asking this kind of question. What you need to do now is divorce him as soon as possible and sever all ties. Only then can you save your life..."

"Can divorce really erase the grudges between us? He wanted to kill me!!!" Chu Huian's voice almost cracked as she said the last sentence. "Yan Zhen, this is murder! He wanted my life! How could you be so cold-blooded, knowing he wanted my life but not telling me anything!"

“If I didn’t want to tell you, I wouldn’t have reminded you today.” Yan Zhen looked down at Chu Huian, his brows furrowed. “Once you’re divorced, everything will be fine. Yan Yi is a smart man; he won’t come after you two have no further connection…”

"You know him so well?" Chu Huian interrupted Yan Zhen, her eyes filled with suspicion. "Have you been bribed by him? What did he give you that you'd hide such a huge conspiracy for him?"

Yan Zhen: "..."

Meeting Chu Huian's aggressive gaze, Yan Zhen took two steps back.

Before she could speak, a slight noise came from the bedroom doorway.

Yan Zhen and Chu Huian looked over at the same time. Aunt Zhang was holding a bowl of bird's nest soup and was standing there with an uneasy expression. She looked as awkward as a cannon fodder in a TV drama who had accidentally overheard a deadly secret and was in danger of being silenced at any moment.

Stared at by Chu Huian, Aunt Zhang's face turned pale. She explained, "Madam, I've come to deliver bird's nest..."

Chu Huian, as if struck by a sudden thought, said sternly, "Zhang Xiaomei, come in."

Aunt Zhang: "..."

She carried the bird's nest into the bedroom. Chu Huian, annoyed by her dawdling, got up and walked quickly to her: "Did you know that Yan Yi wanted to kill me?"

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, then shook her head frantically, "No, no, no! How could I possibly know..."

"You are Yan Yi's relative!"

“I’m my husband’s relative, how could he tell me something so important?” Aunt Zhang said aggrievedly. “To put it bluntly, if you were really assaulted, and I knew but didn’t report it to the police, I would be an accomplice. I’m just a worker, where would I get the guts to do that?”

These words calmed Chu Huian down a bit, but her gaze toward Aunt Zhang grew even colder.

Chu Huian turned around and walked to the bedside table. She opened the drawer, took out several stacks of cash, and placed them on the tray that Aunt Zhang was holding: "You can go now."

Aunt Zhang was completely stunned: "Madam..."

"I will not forgive Yan Yi. You are Yan Yi's relative, and I will never trust you to work with me again," Chu Huian said coldly. "Pack your things and leave now."

Aunt Zhang's eyes reddened.

She had worked for this family for over a decade. Chu Huian was generous and kind to her, and her holiday benefits were better than those of many large companies.

With the money she earned at the Yan family home, she supported her entire family and sent her two children to university.

But Aunt Zhang knew Chu Huian's personality; after such an incident, she couldn't stay in this family any longer.

Aunt Zhang put down the bird's nest, collected the cash, and turned to leave.

She stopped at the door, mustered her courage, and said, "Madam, I think Miss Zhenzhen makes sense. As long as we get a divorce, the husband won't..."

Her unfinished words were choked by Chu Huian's cold, sharp gaze.

Watching Aunt Zhang leave the bedroom, Yan Zhen asked, "What about me? Am I leaving too?"

Chu Huian didn't answer her question, but instead asked, "What benefits did Yan Yi give you? Why are you helping him harm me?"

Yan Zhen: "...I didn't help him harm you."

"But you helped him cover it up!" Beneath Chu Huian's calm exterior surged emotions as if boiling magma were about to erupt. She approached Yan Zhen step by step. "If you weren't biased towards him, why would you help him cover up such an important matter?"

Yan Zhen stepped back: "If I wanted to help him cover it up, I wouldn't have reminded you today."

"So why were you helping him cover it up while simultaneously reminding me?" Chu Huian pressed. "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Yan Zhen: "..."

"Speak up! What exactly do you want?"

Yan Zhen was cornered by her, so he decided to throw caution to the wind and pushed Chu Huian away: "Because I guessed that you wouldn't let this go once you found out about it. You would go crazy, you would be resentful, and you would try every means to take revenge on Yan Yi, even if it meant dying together with him. I didn't want to see you two reach such a dead end. I kept it a secret to balance your relationship. I thought that as long as I delayed until you got divorced, things would take a turn for the better."

Chu Huian was stunned.

Taking advantage of the situation, Yan Zhen said, "Didn't you hire a divorce lawyer? Now that you and Yan Yi both intend to divorce, once you get the divorce certificate, you'll have no relationship left. Can you please not..."

"No! You guessed right, I won't forgive him! I'd rather die than let him get away with this!" Chu Huian pointed to the door. "You can get out! I don't want to see you again!"

Yan Zhen: "..."

As she walked out of her bedroom, she ran into Aunt Zhang, who was carrying her suitcase downstairs.

The two women exchanged a glance, and Aunt Zhang asked softly, "Miss Zhenzhen, are you moving out too?"

"Hmm." Yan Zhen sighed. "I'll call a small truck, let's go together and move the stuff out first."
