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

Chapter 550 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (29)

Before Yan Zhen could react, his mother was stunned.

Gao Shenghan has been "married" into the Yan family for so many years, and she has always spoken to Yan Zhen in a gentle and soft-spoken manner.

During the worst period of her illness, Gao Shenghan was always very patient with his wife, who would occasionally have emotional breakdowns.

This was the first time Gao Shenghan had ever shown such hostility towards Yan Zhen, especially in front of Yan's mother.

"Shenghan, what's wrong?" Yan's mother looked worriedly back and forth between Yan Zhen and Gao Shenghan. "Talk it out, don't fight..."

"Let's talk here." Yan Zhen had no intention of speaking with Gao Shenghan alone and refused his suggestion to go back to his room for a private chat.

Gao Shenghan stared intently at her, his bloodshot eyes revealing a hint of ruthlessness.

Yesterday afternoon, after learning that Yan Zhen was going out to play ball with her best friend, he secretly followed her in his car.

At the stadium, he watched as a young man sneakily got into Yan Zhen's car.

Then, on Fu'an Road, he saw Yan Zhen affectionately pinch the man's face and take his hand as they entered the dilapidated residential building.

He didn't sleep a wink last night; his mind was filled with images of his wife smiling at that man and the words Yan Zhen had said to him.

Don't you think you're getting lazier and lazier?

—You have absolutely no ambition, what else can you do?

Marriage needs novelty, and you're always the same, which makes me feel bored.

—I can no longer find the passion I had when we were dating.

It turns out that her pickiness wasn't because I was really that bad or disappointed her, but because she had cheated on me and changed her mind.

"When someone no longer loves you, even breathing heavily is wrong."

The thought of his wife of ten years betraying him and finding a younger lover filled Gao Shenghan with such hatred that he almost wanted to grind his teeth to dust.

What disgusted him most was that he found that even if his wife had changed her mind, he couldn't do anything to her, and he couldn't even slap her a few times to vent his anger.

He plans to confront his wife today and use that as a reason to demand compensation from her.

If she refuses to give it to me, I'll take the matter to my parents-in-law.

If he can't control his wife, he'll have her parents discipline her.

Seeing that his wife refused to go back to the room with him, Gao Shenghan felt a surge of anger and simply walked up to her, asking in front of his mother-in-law and grandmother, "Where did you go last night?"

"At a friend's house," Yan Zhen said casually. "What's wrong?"

"What kind of friend? Male or female?"

Yan Zhen crossed his arms and looked him up and down: "Gao Shenghan, are you doubting me?"

Gao Shenghan was so infuriated by her smug attitude that his chest tightened. He pulled out his phone, displayed a photo in front of her, and said, "This is your friend? What kind of friend would you hold hands so intimately? What kind of friend would you spend the night at his house? What kind of friend would you come back wearing his clothes?!"

Yan Zhen glanced at his phone screen, which showed a picture of her pinching Xiao Yun's cheek and smiling with her eyes crinkled.

Gao Shenghan took a good shot; she looked very happy in the photo, while the tall Xiao Yun bent down slightly to match her movements, appearing obedient and well-behaved.

"You were following me?" Yan Zhen asked, his face showing displeasure.

Gao Shenghan angrily said, "How would I know you found a young gigolo and even spent the night at his house if I didn't follow you?!"

"You're overthinking it. We're not in that kind of relationship; we're just friends."

"Do you believe this yourself?"

"You don't believe me?" Yan Zhen asked back.

Gao Shenghan was taken aback.

It was only then that he sensed a threat in Yan Zhen's words.

"What do you mean?"

“I’ve given you a way out,” Yan Zhen said. “If you believe he’s my friend, you can turn a blind eye and I’ll pretend nothing happened today. If you don’t believe me, then let’s get a divorce.”

Gao Shenghan was stunned.

He looked at Yan Zhen in disbelief: "What did you say?"

The wife is clearly the one who did wrong, so why does she dare to file for divorce so confidently?

After a brief period of confusion, bewilderment, and anger, Gao Shenghan quickly came to a realization—Yan Zhen might have known about his stalking last night.

But she did not stop him. Today, she blatantly came back wearing that man's clothes. When confronted, she refused to go back to her room for a private talk. Now, she is showing this smug expression in the face of irrefutable evidence of her infidelity.

All of this stemmed from the fact that she was very clear that she was the absolutely dominant party in this marriage.

She's rich, so even if she gets divorced, she won't worry about raising her children.

She's beautiful; if she gets divorced, countless men younger and better at winning her heart will be waiting to take her place.

She no longer loves him, and divorcing him will only bring her benefits, not harm.

Because she felt secure and fearless, she wasn't worried about divorce at all.

Thinking about it more disgustingly, perhaps she had long harbored the idea of ​​divorce, which is why she didn't bother to hide the fact that she was having an affair.

Compared to Yan Zhen, it was actually himself who had relied on the Yan family for support in all his food, clothing, housing, transportation, and business over the years.

If he divorces Yan Zhen, he will have nothing.

He's the one who should be worried about getting a divorce.

Thinking of this, Gao Shenghan was so angry that his hands trembled: "Yan Zhen, how could you do this! We've been together for ten years! How could you do this to me!"

Faced with his accusations and breakdown, Yan Zhen gave a light sneer.

Yan's mother, who was standing nearby, overheard the conversation between the two and then looked at the photo on Gao Shenghan's phone. She immediately knew what her daughter had done.

She recalled Yan Zhen's earlier probing remarks about wanting a divorce, and realized that she had already been dating this young man who looked to be only in his twenties.

The two are compared, so she dislikes her son-in-law who is too old.

How is this any different from those middle-aged men who are successful in their careers but despise their wives and hook up with scumbags who are young and beautiful women outside?

Thinking of this, Yan's mother became anxious. She pulled Yan Zhen aside and asked, "Zhenzhen, you...you really have someone else outside?"

Yan Zhen replied, "Yes."

As soon as she finished speaking, her mother lightly slapped her on the forehead: "Are you confused?!"

Yan Zhen wasn't angry after being hit. Instead, she gently advised her mother, "Mom, I can handle this myself. Don't interfere."

"Can I just stay out of it? If I don't, your family will fall apart!" Mother Yan said angrily. "You better break up with that vixen right now. What does a young man in his twenties want from a woman who's almost forty?"

He's only after your money! Do you think someone like that can be truly sincere? And he knows you have a family, a husband and children, yet he still seduced you. What kind of good person is he?!

"I didn't say he was a good person, and I don't care whether he's sincere or not," Yan Zhen said slowly. "Isn't it enough to be happy with him?"
