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

On the other side, the Shen family.

Yan Zhen looked at Huang Guilan, who was crouching on the ground trembling with her hands covering her head, and felt a surge of amusement.

When Huang Guilan sneaked home to pack her change of clothes, Yan Zhen was taking a nap in the bedroom.

The person she was targeting wasn't Huang Guilan, and she pretended not to notice when she heard her returning home.

However, Huang Guilan had a sudden idea. After packing her own things, she also wanted to take away the valuable gold jewelry in the house, including the three gold pieces that Shen Que and Jiang Yunong bought when they got married.

So when she crept into the bedroom to search, Yan Zhen took the opportunity to mistake her for a thief, kicked her in the waist, and swung the wedding photo on the bedside table at her head, causing her to bleed profusely.

The police arrived quickly. Huang Guilan, clutching her bleeding head, cried as she recounted her daughter-in-law's brutal beating.

Faced with her accusations, Yan Zhen put on a helpless expression and explained in a few words the whole story of how Huang Guilan sneaked into her room to take the gold jewelry and was beaten up by her because she "mistakenly thought" she was a thief.

Upon learning that the two were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the police classified the incident as a family dispute and mediated the situation.

Huang Guilan was initially unwilling to let it go, but Yan Zhen silenced her with a remark: "If you insist on denying our mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship and accuse me of hitting you as a victim, then let's talk about your burglary first. You pocketed all the gold, and I wonder how many years you'll be sentenced for 50,000 yuan."

This misunderstanding ended with Huang Guilan leaving in a sorry state with her bag.

Huang Guilan returned to the hospital and cried again in front of Shen Que.

Seeing his mother in such a disheveled state, Shen Que was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.

But he couldn't do anything about Yan Zhen. He was so frustrated he almost vomited blood, but he could only say dryly, "Don't provoke her in the future. Don't make yourself miserable before I get a divorce."

-

Shen Que stayed in the hospital for half a month.

During this time, Yan Zhen didn't bother him, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.

Two weeks later, he was discharged from the hospital and rented an apartment near the company, where he and Huang Guilan stayed temporarily.

He was prepared for a long divorce battle. As long as he didn't go back to that house and tried to avoid seeing Yan Zhen, she wouldn't be able to hurt him.

Moreover, a prolonged divorce proceedings are not entirely a bad thing; three to five years is enough time for him to transfer all the company assets and the shares and funds he holds.

Even if we end up in court, Yan Zhen won't get a single penny of anything except that house!

With this in mind, Shen Que calmed down, and after a short rest, his work and life gradually returned to normal.

But the peaceful days did not last long.

That day, Shen Que went out to negotiate a cooperation project. When he returned to the company, it was almost noon. The receptionist greeted him with a smile and said, "Mr. Shen, your wife is here. She has been waiting for you in the office for a long time."

Shen Que's heart skipped a beat.

What is that plague god doing here?

He quickly reviewed what he had been doing recently. He hadn't contacted Yan Zhen, Huang Guilan hadn't gone near her despite his repeated warnings, and there had been no new developments in the divorce case...

Could it be that she found out about my flirtatious relationship with the new intern assistant?

Shen Que quickly denied this possibility.

Throughout their years of marriage, Jiang Yunong had never visited his company and was completely unaware of his activities there.

Shen Que nervously pushed open the office door and, as expected, saw Yan Zhen sitting in the executive chair, flipping through a magazine.

Hearing the door open, she looked up and said in a calm tone, "You're back."

Shen Que didn't want his family troubles to spill over into the company and damage his image among his employees. He closed the door behind him, walked to his desk, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"

Yan Zhen put the magazine on the table and took out a receipt from his bag: "I'm here to get reimbursed."

Shen Que took it and saw that it was Shen An's kindergarten registration fee, plus various miscellaneous fees, totaling 30,000 yuan.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly regained some of the confidence to confront her.

He controls the family finances, and if he doesn't come home or give money, she'll be the one in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Shen Que sneered, "Didn't you want to fight for custody of your son? If you can't even come up with this little bit of money, how are you going to support him?"

“That happened after you left with nothing. We’re still married now, and this is your responsibility as a father,” Yan Zhen asked. “WeChat or Alipay? You can transfer it directly to my bank card.”

Shen Que threw the receipt in front of her and said coldly, "I won't give it to you. You've forced my mother and me to stay away from home. You'll have to figure out how to pay this off yourself."

Yan Zhen wasn't angry: "What are you saying? I didn't stop you from coming in. It's clearly because you were beaten and are afraid to go home. How can you expect me to force you to have a home you can't go back to?"

"You..." Shen Que was furious, having been hit where it hurt. He pointed to the door and said, "Get out! You won't get a single penny from me today! You think you're so tough? I'd like to see how long you can keep up your act without my financial support!"

Yan Zhen clicked his tongue twice and shook his head: "Although your small company only has twenty or thirty people, if word gets out that the boss was chased to the company and beaten by his wife for not giving him household allowance, you'll lose face."

Shen Que snapped, "I'm the victim, what's there to be ashamed of? It's you who beat me up over that little bit of money. If word gets out, you and your parents will be the ones being talked about behind your backs!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the office door opened, and a sweet voice said, "Brother Shen, I made you a bento box," accompanied by a pretty young girl walking in.

The girl's gaze first fell on Shen Que, her eyes filled with shyness and timidity, before she noticed Yan Zhen. Sensing the tense atmosphere between the two, she paused for a moment and hesitated before asking, "Shen... Boss, who is this?"

Yan Zhen's gaze swept back and forth between the girl and Shen Que, and she immediately realized that the relationship between the two was not simple. She smiled and said, "Brother Shen? Then I am your sister-in-law."

The girl's expression changed drastically. She said "Sorry" and hurriedly turned and left.

"The young lady is quite pretty." Yan Zhen stood up, rolling up his sleeves as he walked towards Shen Que. "You're right, it is indeed making a mountain out of a molehill to lay a hand on you for such a small amount of money, but what if you were cheating on me?"

Upon seeing her action, Shen Que was immediately gripped by the fear of being beaten. He reflexively took two steps back and retorted somewhat flusteredly, "I didn't! Which eye of yours saw me cheating?"

“During work hours, you were calling me Brother Shen and bringing me lunch. Even if you haven’t gone to bed together yet, there’s definitely something between you two,” Yan Zhen said. “Since you need a legitimate reason to beat me up, don’t worry, I’ll find a proper reason and I definitely won’t let you get beaten up for nothing.”

After she finished speaking, she raised her fist and swung it at Shen Que.
