Chapter 633 Dawn (39)
As he spoke, he pulled Yan Zhen up and started to walk downstairs.
Yan Zhen quickly grabbed his arm: "Wait, wait! Brother, what's going on?"
"This place makes you feel threatened, let's move!"
"No!" Yan Zhen said, "I was just saying it casually, there's no sense of crisis that's so serious."
Jing Chen's gaze shifted from the bloodshot eyes to her listless expression due to lack of sleep, his expression growing increasingly serious: "Do you think you can fool me?"
"I'm just annoyed by Yan Yuxi," Yan Zhen said helplessly. "I can't just give up my inheritance rights because I'm annoyed by her, can I? If I did that, wouldn't that just let her have her way?"
In her previous life, Yan Zhen couldn't do anything to Yan Yuxi because her starting point wasn't as high as hers. After being taken back to the Yan family, she didn't have any advantages. Moreover, at that time, she still held onto a sliver of hope for her parents and always left herself an out in everything she did.
Yan Zhen doesn't take anyone in the Yan family seriously anymore, so he doesn't have any weaknesses.
To her, Yan Yuxi was like a mosquito buzzing in her ear through a mosquito net in summer. With a little precaution, she could avoid the harm she caused. If she got really angry, she could get up, turn on the light, search for a while, and kill her without much difficulty.
But that would be too easy on her.
She wanted Yan Yuxi to experience what it felt like to be driven to the brink of despair, just like she had in her past life.
"But……"
“Brother,” Yan Zhen interrupted Jing Chen, “If you want to help me get rid of Yan Yuxi, then give me a hand.”
Jing Chen asked in confusion, "How can I help?"
Yan Zhen waved to him.
Jing Chen leaned closer to her, and Yan Zhen whispered a few words to him.
-
On the first day of school, Yan Zhen had a pretty good impression of the new school.
The environment is good, the learning atmosphere is good, and the homeroom teacher is kind and gentle, but the food in the cafeteria is just so-so.
As soon as Yan Zhen stepped out of the school gate after school in the evening, he saw Jing Chen, who was wearing a mask and hat, standing outside waiting for him.
He was tall and stood out in the crowd. Yan Zhen quickly ran over and said, "Brother."
Jing Chen took her schoolbag: "Go out to eat or go back to the Yan family's house for dinner?"
"Let's go out to eat, I want to eat grilled fish."
"Row."
The two crossed the road and got into the car parked on the other side.
Just as Yan Zhen fastened her seatbelt, her children's watch vibrated. She looked up at her wrist and saw that it was a call from the Yan family's driver.
Yan Zhen pressed the answer button, but the driver wasn't looking for her. Instead, he was looking for Jing Chen, saying that something had happened at home and he couldn't get there to pick up Yan Yuxi, who was attending another private junior high school. He asked Jing Chen if he could take a detour and help pick up Yan Yuxi and take her home.
Jingchen agreed.
Twenty minutes later, Yan Zhen and Jing Chen picked up Yan Yuxi.
On the way home, Yan Zhen was using Jing Chen's phone to search for the best grilled fish restaurant nearby, while Yan Yu Xi sat in the back seat, staring absentmindedly at the scenery outside the car window.
As the car approached the section of road where the Yan family lived, Yan Yuxi, who had been quiet the whole way, suddenly asked, "Brother Jingchen, Zhenzhen, are you going out to eat? Can you take me with you?"
"No." Yan Zhen refused without hesitation.
"I can pay, and I eat very little," Yan Yuxi said with a hint of pleading in her voice. "Please, take me with you."
Yan Zhen turned his head and glanced at Yan Yuxi: "You really want to eat grilled fish?"
Yan Yuxi shook her head: "I just don't want to go home so soon."
"why?"
“…Dad is coming home tonight, and I have a feeling he’ll argue with Mom.” Yan Yuxi sighed. “I’m always scared whenever they argue.”
"Why don't you just find somewhere to stay until night before going back?"
“Mom won’t allow it, saying it’s not safe for girls to be out at night, but she won’t say anything as long as I go out with you.” Yan Yuxi said, putting her hands together. “Please take me with you, Zhenzhen.”
Yan Zhen and Jing Chen exchanged a knowing glance before Yan Zhen finally agreed, "Alright."
The three of them went to a grilled fish restaurant more than ten kilometers away and had a meal together.
During the meal, the waiter brought over several bottles of fruit wine to promote, saying it was a restaurant specialty that couldn't be bought elsewhere.
Seeing that the wine looked nice, Yan Zhen asked for two bottles.
But after the wine was opened, they discovered that the alcohol content was over 20%. Jingchen refused to let Yanzhen drink it and finished both bottles himself.
When they came out of the restaurant, Jingchen's cheeks were flushed and her steps were a little unsteady.
He calmly paid the bill, called a designated driver, and led Yan Zhen and Yan Yuxi out of the restaurant. They waited by the roadside for the driver to arrive, and he remained sober throughout the journey home.
But as soon as he got back to the Yan family home, he became so dizzy that he couldn't stand up straight before he even got upstairs.
Yan Zhen and Yan Yuxi each supported him on one side, and with the help of the nanny, the three of them worked together to send Jing Chen back to his room.
Once inside the room, Jingchen collapsed onto the bed and lost consciousness.
Yan Zhen sat on the edge of the bed, panting heavily, and angrily slapped Jing Chen: "You have such a low alcohol tolerance, yet you still drink."
The mirror remained motionless.
Just then, Yan Zhen saw Yan Yuxi roll up her sleeves and walk towards the bathroom in Jing Chen's room. She immediately asked, "What are you doing?"
"Fetch water to wipe Jingchen's face and hands," Yan Yuxi said. "He can't lie on his back if he drinks too much. If he vomits in the middle of the night, he could easily choke on his vomit and die."
Yan Zhen glared at her: "How dare you curse my brother! You're the one who choked to death! Your whole family choked to death!"
After saying that, she pointed to the door and said, "Get out! My own brother can take care of himself, you don't need to bother me!"
Yan Yuxi: "..."
She walked out of the room with a sheepish look on her face, stood in the corridor for a while, and then cautiously went upstairs.
This morning, Yan Yuxi learned from Aunt Zhang that Chu Huian planned to talk to Yan Yi's mistress today. Yan Yuxi had a feeling that Yan Yi would definitely argue with Chu Huian if he knew about this.
Every time the two of them argue, the atmosphere at home becomes very oppressive, and she and Aunt Zhang don't even dare to breathe loudly.
It's unclear whether Chu Huian hasn't returned yet or Yan Yi hasn't reacted, but things are currently peaceful at home.
But this calm before the storm only made Yan Yuxi more terrified, as if a guillotine was hanging over her head, and no one knew when it would fall and cut her bloody.
Back in her room on the fourth floor, Yan Yuxi threw her schoolbag onto the bed and sat in a chair, lost in thought.
After sitting quietly for half an hour, Yan Yuxi's mood did not calm down.
In particular, she found herself acting like a thief, constantly straining her ears to listen to the sounds downstairs, always worried that an argument would break out at home, thus creating a tense atmosphere for Chu Huian.
For the next week, or even half a month, she had to carefully observe Chu Huian's expression, which made her feel even more uneasy and irritable.
When it comes to Chu Huian, Yan Yuxi envies Yan Zhen.
Although Yan Zhen lived in the Yan family home, Jing Chen paid for Yan Zhen's daily expenses and even his tuition.
Because he doesn't rely on the Yan family, Yan Zhen isn't afraid of Chu Huian at all. When Chu Huian gets angry and affects innocent people, Yan Zhen will even make sarcastic remarks to her.
Yan Yuxi wouldn't dare to do something so daring even in her wildest dreams, for fear of angering Chu Huian, who would then send her back to Xiangjia Village in a fit of rage.
Then her life is over.
