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

Chapter 595 Dawn (1)

The familiar female voice was like a poisoned blade, piercing straight into Yan Zhen's eardrums, so much so that she didn't react for a moment.

In the brief moment she was stunned, the owner of the voice grabbed her hair at the back of her head with his left hand, dragged her up from the ground, and picked up a thick fire poker with his right hand, striking her thigh with a quick and vicious motion, full of venting his anger.

Yan Zhen endured the excruciating pain and barely opened her eyes. Only after seeing the sun-spotted, grotesque, and distorted face in front of her did she realize that she had transmigrated into her past life—the world before her death.

At the same time, she realized where she was at. She was only seven years old. The woman beating her like a madwoman was named Xu Yingxia. She could be considered her adoptive mother, or she could be considered the human trafficker who abducted her.

The pain from the fire poker striking his body was so intense that Yan Zhen didn't have time to think. He grabbed the fire poker with his other hand and pulled hard.

Xu Yingxia probably didn't expect her to resist, and caught off guard, the fire poker slipped from her hand and was snatched away by Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen gripped the fire poker and shoved it into Xu Yingxia's eyes with all his might. Xu Yingxia immediately covered her eyes and screamed in pain. She stumbled backward, her heel hitting the bamboo stool on the ground, and she fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yan Zhen threw down the fire poker, opened the door, and rushed out.

It was just getting light outside, and the chill of an early winter morning in the countryside was biting. Yan Zhen shivered from the cold.

She glanced down at herself. In the near-freezing weather, she was barefoot, wearing only a thin, loose-fitting short-sleeved shirt and shorts. Her exposed toes were covered in red, swollen chilblains, and her fingernails were filled with mud.

go?

Still not leaving?

If she were to leave, she would have no money, and the nearest county town was over a hundred kilometers away from Xiangjia Village. Her frail body might not be able to hold out long enough to reach the village and seek help.

If she didn't leave, she would face even more brutal beatings from Xu Yingxia.

Before Yan Zhen could make a choice, Xu Yingxia behind her got up and rushed out to grab her.

Yan Zhen quickly turned around and, upon seeing Xu Yingxia's bleeding right eye and her expression of almost convulsing pain, she disregarded everything else and rushed out of the yard.

She was usually obedient and well-behaved, but Xu Yingxia never let her off the hook. Now that she had hurt Xu Yingxia so badly, this ruthless woman might just beat her to death.

Yan Zhen rushed out of the Xiang family home, plunged into the woods, and took a shortcut to run wildly towards the county town.

Along the way, the cold wind was relentless, seeping into Yan Zhen's collar and cuffs. She hugged her arms, enduring the discomfort of her skin aching from the cold, and gritted her teeth as she walked forward.

As she walked, she pondered what to do next.

Like many melodramatic stories about real and fake heiresses, Yan Zhen in her previous life was the real heiress whose life was switched.

When she was born, her father was at the peak of his career, traveling all over the country for business. The family was considered middle class.

Because he was too busy to take care of his pregnant mother, the father hired a driver and a nanny for the family.

When Yan Zhen was born, her father was busy with a big business in another city, which allowed the nanny and driver to take advantage of the situation and switch the driver's daughter with Yan Zhen. Less than 48 hours after her birth, she was sent to this remote mountain village.

From the time she could remember, she was subjected to countless insults, abuse, and beatings, as well as the covetousness and molestation from her "brother".

When Yan Zhen was twelve, her parents, who had become successful in business, discovered during a routine medical check-up that their adopted daughter was not their biological child. After many twists and turns, they finally found her.

Although Yan Zhen no longer suffers from hunger and cold, no longer endures beatings and verbal abuse, and no longer worries about being dragged out of bed by the hair to do chores, the family atmosphere in Yan's home is still very oppressive.

Her father had no feelings for her. In his middle age, he kept four mistresses and was determined to have a son to inherit the family business.

The mother is stubborn, vain, and concerned about her image. She runs a chain of beauty salons and devotes most of her energy to her business. Her favorite sayings are "The most unreliable thing in this world is a man's mouth," "Having money in your pocket is more important than anything else," and "Only you can rely on yourself."

The mother didn't pay much attention to Yan Yuxi, the "fake heiress" who grew up in the Yan family, let alone Yan Zhen, her biological daughter who was of no help to her life and career.

The "fake heiress" Yan Yuxi harbored deep hostility towards Yan Zhen and frequently used underhanded tactics to frame and slander her in front of her parents.

After living cautiously in such a family for two years, fourteen-year-old Yan Zhen saw many things clearly.

For example, her father is a very pragmatic person, and he only smiles at her when she gets a perfect score on a test.

For example, because the mother was severely hurt by the father, as if out of self-protection, she no longer believes in any feelings in the world. It is useless to talk to her about feelings, even if the two are related by blood.

This is a family that prioritizes profit.

At the age of fourteen, Yan Zhen learned to make use of all the resources available to her to enrich herself. She studied hard, learned all kinds of skills, and was admitted to the top university in the country at the age of eighteen.

Because of this incident, her father began to pay more attention to her.

After a fulfilling four years at university, Yan Zhen found a boyfriend with whom she had a very good relationship. After graduation, she chose to pursue a master's degree while working at her father's company.

That year, the father's "project to have a child" made progress; his mistress became pregnant.

At the same time, the parents' already strained marriage erupted, and the father filed for divorce.

In desperation, the mother, desperate to save the marriage, followed Yan Yuxi's advice and did something Yan Zhen couldn't understand—she made Yan Zhen get pregnant as soon as possible and give birth to a child with Yan family blood, so as to compete with her father's mistress for the inheritance.

After Yan Zhen refused, his mother conspired with Yan Yuxi's older brother, Xu Yingxia's son who had coveted and molested Yan Zhen since childhood, to drug and assault Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen had been practicing boxing for several years, so his body was quick and agile. After recovering his strength, he snapped the man's neck.

She was also sentenced to seven years in prison for "excessive self-defense".

She suffered a lot over the past seven years.

After being released from prison, Yan Zhen returned to the Yan family and spent nearly five years driving Yan Yuxi to her death, driving his mother insane, and causing his father to suffer a heart attack and die of anger.

She also suffered from severe depression.

……

"Ah!"

A sneeze brought Yan Zhen back to reality.

She tried to recall her distant past life, in which she could no longer bear the torment of depression and set the house on fire, perishing together with her mother. Or perhaps her mentally unstable mother locked her in a burning car, attempting to burn her to death, and she slammed on the gas just before the car exploded, killing her mother in the process…

Having spent so many years in the Quick Transmigration Division, and through deliberate forgetting, she had forgotten how she died.
