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

Chapter 636 Dawn (42)

In the past, Yan Yuxi did not take Chu Huian's lucky break seriously. Yan Yi had argued with Chu Huian for so many years without knowing that she was not his biological daughter. How could their already broken relationship be repaired just because they found an insignificant daughter?

But now, seeing the family of three happy like many ordinary families because of their child's good grades, Yan Yi, who used to argue after only a few words, even agreed to buy Chu Huian a gift.

Yan Yuxi belatedly realized that Chu Huian's tactic was effective, as Chu Huian, who was usually sharp and sarcastic towards Yan Yi, actually accepted it.

At the same time, Yan Yuxi realized a fact: Yan Yi's indifferent attitude towards her when he didn't know she wasn't his biological daughter wasn't influenced by blood ties, but rather because he had always looked down on her because she was mediocre.

Yan Yi had a man's instinctive desire to reproduce; he wanted to have a son, to raise an outstanding descendant who could inherit the family business he had built, shoulder the future of the Yan family, and bring him pride.

Yan Zhen's arrival gave him hope, and Chu Huian naturally followed suit, "gaining status because of her daughter."

After clarifying the cause and effect, Yan Yuxi found it both difficult to swallow and ironic.

Whether it's her, Chu Huian, or even Yan Zhen who can now make Yan Yi smile with her excellent academic performance, they are all just tools to Yan Yi.

A person who is merely a tool can only be valued if they fulfill their purpose as a tool.

We're all just tools, what does Yan Zhen have to be proud of?

Yan Yuxi poked at the rice grains in her bowl with her chopsticks. Amidst her jealousy, she knew very well that given Yan Zhen's level of dislike for her, once Yan Yi acknowledged her as his heir, all of the Yan family's assets would belong to Yan Zhen, and she wouldn't be able to get a single penny.

Even after Yan Yi and Chu Huian die, Yan Zhen will most likely kick her out of the house.

The thought that Yan Zhen would take away everything that should have been hers made Yan Yuxi unconsciously tighten her grip on the chopsticks.

I wish Yan Zhen could die.

Even if they don't die, it's better if they're destroyed.

-

In the following days, Yan Yi would go home every day after get off work.

Even if he doesn't live at home, he will still have dinner with Yan Zhen.

On the weekend, Yan Yi even suggested taking Yan Zhen to play tennis, which was unprecedented for him.

Yan Zhen readily agreed to go and suggested that Chu Huian come along as well.

On a weekend morning, Yan Yuxi stood in front of her fourth-floor bedroom window, pulled back the curtains a crack, and quietly looked downstairs.

Down in the courtyard, Yan Zhen had changed into a black sports skirt and was adjusting the sports watch on her wrist.

Chu Huian, standing next to him, was wearing a sun-protective shirt and large sunglasses, completely covered up from head to toe, afraid of getting a tan. At this moment, she was putting a sun hat on Yan Zhen's head.

Yan Yi then moved the tennis ball box to the trunk, and the family of three chatted and laughed, looking very happy.

For a moment, Yan Yuxi felt like a rat hiding in a gutter, peering at other people's happiness through a sewer cover.

Watching Yan Zhen and his family of three get into the car and leave, Yan Yuxi thought darkly, "If only they could die in a car accident, then everything in the Yan family would naturally fall into my name."

After imagining this scenario for a while, Yan Yuxi's mood calmed down a little.

After lying in her room for a week, her abdominal pain subsided, so she went downstairs and asked Aunt Zhang to push her out for a walk in her wheelchair.

There is an artificial lake in the community, and many koi are raised in the lake. Yan Yuxi sat by the lake, feeding the koi with fish food.

The small bag of fish food was quickly finished, and Yan Yuxi didn't want to go back for a while, so she asked Aunt Zhang to go home and bring two more bags of fish food.

After Aunt Zhang left, Yan Yuxi sat alone by the lake, watching the koi in the lake open their mouths to beg for food but to no avail. They flicked their tails and swam away.

A sudden surge of anger welled up inside her. She got up, broke off a branch from a tree behind her, dipped one end into the water and stirred it to attract several koi. Then, taking advantage of the koi's inattention, she suddenly slapped one of the koi on the head with the stick.

With a sharp "thud," the koi was instantly whipped so hard that it floated belly-up on the water.

Yan Yuxi felt that her anger, which had been suppressed for several days, had finally found an outlet. She used the same trick again, and in just a few minutes, she whipped five or six koi in the lake until they floated belly up.

Yan Yuxi was engrossed in this way of venting her emotions and was having a great time when a tentative voice came from behind her: "Xiao Xi?"

Yan Yuxi paused, turned around, quickly hid the stick behind her back, and looked at the newcomer suspiciously.

There were two people, a man and a woman. The woman looked to be in her fifties or sixties, with dark skin and the marks of time on her face. The man was a young man in his early twenties, not very tall, and was scrutinizing Yan Yuxi with the same look he had on an object.

Yan Yuxi felt uncomfortable under the gazes of these two people. Seeing that their clothes were dusty and the zipper of their bags was broken, she could tell at a glance that they were poor.

She frowned, her tone tinged with impatience: "Who are you?"

The woman stepped forward, her eyes fervent: "I'm your mother, Xiaoxi, my name is Xu Yingxia... Haven't Mr. Yan and his wife mentioned me to you?"

Yan Yuxi felt a chill run down her spine, and an inexplicable fear spread through her body, causing goosebumps to rise on her arms.

She threw the stick into the lake and took two steps back.

The movement pulled on her abdomen, and she couldn't help but hiss as she clutched her stomach.

Seeing this, Xu Yingxia stepped forward with concern to help her up: "What's wrong?"

"Don't touch me!" Yan Yuxi dodged her hand. "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Xiao Xi."

After saying that, she turned to leave.

At this moment, the young man next to him spoke up: "We know where you live."

Yan Yuxi paused, turning around to stare intently at the man.

Meeting her disgusted gaze, the man smiled instead: "My name is Xiang Yong, and I'm your brother. Last year, when your adoptive parents came to Xiangjia Village looking for their daughter, why didn't you go with them? Don't you have any curiosity about your biological parents?"

Yan Yuxi: "..."

Aunt Zhang went back to the Yan family to get fish food. On her way back to the artificial lake, she encountered Yan Yuxi, who was clutching her stomach and walking back.

Yan Yuxi was pale, and because she had walked too fast, her stomach was hurting so badly that she was covered in cold sweat.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhang quickly helped her up: "Xixi, why did you come back by yourself? Where's your wheelchair?"

"My stomach hurts. Take me home first. The wheelchair is by the lake. You can push it home later."

Seeing that she was in so much pain that she could barely stand, Aunt Zhang immediately said, "Sit here for a while, I'll go and bring your wheelchair over, otherwise it will hurt even more if you walk back..."

"No need!!!" Yan Yuxi said impatiently as she hurried away, "I'm going back now, can't you understand human language!"

Aunt Zhang was taken aback.
