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

Chapter 639 Dawn (45)

Yan Zhen raised an eyebrow.

So you're not pretending anymore?

She stared at Yan Yuxi for a while, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped her across the face.

Yan Yuxi knew that Yan Zhen was ruthless and had been on guard against her. The moment Yan Zhen made her move, she quickly took a step back.

Yan Zhen's slap flew past her cheek, the gust of wind lifting a stray hair from her cheek.

Having successfully dodged the attack, Yan Yuxi hadn't even had time to feel happy when she was suddenly punched in the stomach, right where her ribs were broken.

She immediately let out a bloodcurdling scream: "Mommy!!!"

Ten minutes later, in the living room.

Yan Yuxi lay on the sofa, clutching her stomach and crying uncontrollably. Aunt Zhang carefully lifted the hem of her clothes and rubbed her stomach.

Chu Huian looked at Yan Yuxi, whose face was deathly pale and who was crying miserably, and then at Yan Zhen, who was standing next to her with his arms crossed, practically saying "I'm the one who hit him, what can you do about it?" Chu Huian, who was already upset because she hadn't slept well, became even more irritable.

"Are you two bored? Why are you fighting for no reason!"

Yan Zhen calmly said, "There was no fight."

"Then she..."

"I'll beat her up unilaterally."

"..." Chu Huian said angrily, "You think you're right to hit someone?"

"Whether it's right or wrong, I'm happy."

Chu Huian: "..."

The mother and daughter were facing off when they heard the door open outside.

Yan Zhen listened intently for a few seconds, and when she recognized whose footsteps were coming in, she immediately jumped up and rushed out like a cannonball: "Brother!"

As soon as Jing Chen entered the courtyard, Yan Zhen rushed out and hugged him tightly. He smiled and said, "You're home? Isn't it the weekend? Why didn't you go out to play?"

"I was planning to go out and have fun, but something happened and I'm stuck here."

"Hmm?" Jing Chen led her towards the living room. "What happened?"

Upon entering the living room and seeing Chu Huian's ashen face and Yan Yuxi still sobbing and shedding tears, Jing Chen understood.

Chu Huian was furious at the moment, but she couldn't vent her anger on Yan Zhen, who was unyielding. So she turned her anger on Jing Chen and told him about how Yan Zhen had beaten up Yan Yuxi.

"She's always causing trouble for no reason. Does she have to beat Xiaoxi to death before she'll stop!"

After listening, Jing Chen said seriously, "Zhenzhen is still young. It's normal for children to fight and play at this age. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill."

Chu Huian was taken aback.

She glanced at Jing Chen, then at Yan Zhen, the "little kid" Jing Chen was talking about who was almost 1.7 meters tall, and almost laughed out of anger.

How could she forget that there was no point in complaining to Jing Chen, since he and Yan Zhen were practically inseparable?

If Yan Zhen were to kill someone one day, Jing Chen would definitely be implicated. Even if he didn't help restrain the victim, he would still be an accomplice who handed Yan Zhen the knife.

"Go, go, go! You two hurry up and go back upstairs!" Chu Huian waved them away, "Don't bother me here."

After saying that, Chu Huian turned around and asked Aunt Zhang for help, preparing to take Yan Yuxi to the hospital for a check-up.

On the third floor, Jingchen was washing his face in the bathroom. Yanzhen opened his suitcase, pulled aside the neatly folded clothes on top, and sure enough, she saw half a suitcase full of blind boxes underneath. It was the series she was currently obsessed with.

She was excitedly unpacking the blind box when Jingchen came out of the bathroom.

He grabbed a tissue to wipe his hands and asked Yan Zhen, "Did Yan Yuxi provoke you again?"

She called me a country bumpkin.

“Then she deserved to be beaten,” Jing Chen said.

Yan Zhen was busy with her work and casually asked, "You didn't come back because of Xiang Yong and Xu Yingxia's matter, did you?"

She remembered that Jingchen's work schedule didn't allow her to be free until the middle of the month.

"Hmm." Jing Chen's expression turned serious when he said this. "Don't have any contact with Xiang Yong and his mother without me present."

"Worried I'll get taken advantage of?" Yan Zhen put down the blind box and patted his arm muscles. "I can kill him with one punch, you believe me?"

“I believe you, but killing someone is a legal offense.” Jing Chen pulled her arm off and emphasized, “Can you promise me that?”

"alright."

Jing Chen smiled: "The company has arranged training for me. I will be attending training courses here for the next week. If Xiang Yong comes looking for you, you must tell me immediately."

He had to make sure that he was present when Xiang Yong and his son Xu Yingxia came to find Yan Zhen.

"it is good."

-

Jingchen's training courses last less than four hours a day, and he can arrange the time freely.

He scheduled the training sessions during Yan Zhen's regular classes, and used his spare time to pick Yan Zhen up from school and go to the market to buy fresh seafood to cook special meals for her.

Jingchen stayed at the Yan family home, and Yan Zhen returned to his useless state where he didn't even have to peel shrimp himself. He came home from school much earlier than before.

Although the days of being waited on hand and foot were pleasant, Yan Zhen felt that someone was following her for three consecutive days. The person following her dared not approach her rashly because of Jing Chen beside her.

Thinking about her and Jingchen's plan, Yanzhen figured she had to "go it alone" for once, giving Xiang Yong and Xu Yingxia a chance to get close to her.

The opportunity came quickly—on Friday, Jingchen was stuck in traffic at an intersection on his way to pick up Yanzhen from school when a car accident caused the traffic jam.

Yan Zhen walked out of the school gate with the flow of students leaving school. She was originally torn between waiting for Jing Chen outside the school or simply riding her electric skateboard to the traffic-congested intersection to find Jing Chen. At this moment, she keenly noticed that there was someone staring at her from the bus stop across the street.

Yan Zhen looked up seemingly casually, his gaze sweeping over Xiang Yong opposite him, and briefly meeting those greedy eyes.

That fraction of a second of eye contact acted like a switch, instantly activating those unpleasant memories from her past life.

Yan Zhen lowered her head and pondered for a few seconds before quickly making a decision—she was going to teach Xiang Yong a lesson.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen decisively walked across the zebra crossing to the other side and passed in front of Xiang Yong.

As Yan Zhen had expected, Xiang Yong, who had been looking for an opportunity to get close to her, immediately followed.

Yan Zhen pretended not to notice and walked forward with light steps, during which she also answered a phone call from Jing Chen.

Jing Chen said he would need another ten minutes or so to get there, and asked Yan Zhen to wait a little longer.

Yan Zhen agreed verbally, hung up the phone, and turned to disappear into a narrow alleyway.

Across from the school is a cluster of ancient buildings in Yuncheng. The alleys are narrow, long, and interconnected, making it easy for people who haven't been there before to get lost.

After Yan Zhen crawled inside, he casually broke off a brick from the wall and stuffed it into his schoolbag.

She kept a respectful distance from Xiang Yong behind her, observing him out of the corner of her eye.

Thinking about what was about to happen, Yan Zhen's temples throbbed, and his hands trembled slightly with excitement.
