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

Chapter 281 Thorny Rose (38)

After beating up Song Yi, Yan Zhen felt incredibly refreshed and clear-headed.

She kicked the unconscious Song Yi aside, dropped her golf club, and went downstairs.

The housekeeper and doctor who were waiting downstairs immediately went upstairs to check on her as soon as they saw her come down.

Before long, several servants were called up to help.

Yan Zhen intended to leave immediately, but was stopped by the bodyguards before he even left the living room.

“Miss Lin, the young master instructed that you are not allowed to leave the manor.”

Yan Zhen: "..."

Got it!

This guy probably already guessed that she wouldn't let it go after he found out her true gender, so he instructed his bodyguards in advance not to let her go even if she was unconscious.

Since she couldn't leave for the time being, Yan Zhen didn't insist. She went to the kitchen, poured herself a glass of water, and leaned against the dining table to drink it.

A short while later, the housekeeper came downstairs.

The butler was clearly resentful when he saw his young master beaten up like that and then looked at Yan Zhen, who seemed completely relaxed as if nothing had happened.

“Miss Lin, you went too far. The young master is only sixteen years old. If you cause him any problems, it will ruin his life.”

Yan Zhen glanced at him: "Didn't he tell you not to interfere?"

housekeeper:"……"

He was speechless with anger for a long time before saying helplessly, "Young Master didn't mean to lie to you. He's always been like this since he was little. He wears skirts, has long hair, and dresses himself up like a girl. People who don't know him well think he's a girl."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhen straightened up slightly: "Why?"

Song Yi does not have gender dysphoria, nor does he show any particular preference for women's clothing. He wears women's clothing more out of "habit".

Why would a man with normal intelligence and cognition make wearing women's clothing and dressing like a girl a "habit"?

The housekeeper hesitated, seemingly struggling with whether or not to tell Yan Zhen the truth.

Yan Zhen noticed his predicament and offered, "If it's inconvenient for you to say, then don't. I'll ask Song Yi when he wakes up."

"No!" the butler said immediately. "Don't mention these things in front of the young master."

Yan Zhen shrugged: "You brought this up yourself. You want me to know about Song Yi's past, but you won't tell me the details, and you won't let me ask Song Yi. How am I supposed to know why he became like this?"

The butler then sighed and said, "It was the young master's stepmother who misled him."

The housekeeper talked about Song Yi's childhood.

When Song Yi was three years old, his biological mother passed away. Not long after, his father, Song Dexian, remarried a young and beautiful woman.

After his stepmother entered the family, she treated Song Yi very well, spending a lot of time playing with him and buying him all sorts of toys and gifts. Song Yi was afraid of the dark and always had nightmares at night, so his stepmother would hold him all night long and coax him to sleep.

Song Yi quickly lowered her guard and acknowledged this "new mother".

Although her stepmother was kind to Song Yi, she often said things like, "I wish you were a daughter," "I prefer a sweet little girl to a son," and "Yi, how about being a sweet and gentle little girl?" To please her, Song Yi agreed to wear a little dress for the first time.

Since then, his stepmother has changed his everyday items to pink, made him grow his hair long, bought him all kinds of girls' clothes, dressed him up as a little girl, and told him that little girls are more lovable than little boys.

For four years, under her stepmother's brainwashing, Song Yi believed she was a girl.

He imitated girls' soft-spoken voices, his toys became Barbie dolls, and even at his stepmother's behest, he tried his best to convince himself that he was a "lovable girl" when questioned by his father.

Later, Song Yi died in a car accident during her late pregnancy, and Song Dexian also died of a heart attack, leaving Song Yi alone in the family.

“Although the madam is no longer here, the young master has become accustomed to presenting himself as a girl due to her long-term misleading, and subconsciously feels that he would be more likable as a girl... Miss Lin, he really didn’t mean to lie to you.”

Yan Zhen frowned slightly after hearing this.

"Song Yi's stepmother deliberately misled him into believing he was a girl, intending to spoil him so she could have another child for Song Yi's father?"

The butler nodded: "Yes, before the young master's biological mother passed away, she made a three-point agreement with the master, requiring him to guarantee that the young master would grow up safely and that there would be no second child in the family to compete for his property."

"Later, the master discovered that the young master had gender dysphoria and felt that he would not be able to inherit the family business in the future, so he had a child with his new wife. The new wife confirmed the gender of the child through a blood test as soon as she found out she was pregnant. It was a boy."

"After she became pregnant with a boy, the new wife became cold towards the young master. Not only did she stop coaxing him like before, she also took advantage of his trust in her and subjected him to emotional abuse."

“The young master was not even eight years old at the time. What could such a young child understand? When he was subjected to emotional abuse by his mother, he would only think it was his fault, that he had not done well enough… Even after his new wife passed away unexpectedly, the young master still felt that he was not like a girl enough and had not met his new wife’s expectations, which was why she was annoyed.”

Yan Zhen's feelings were somewhat complicated.

Whenever conflicts of interest are involved, human nature will always reveal its ugly side in unexpected and varied ways.

“Miss Lin, our young master is a child with a tragic past. Even if he lied to you, it was due to a misunderstanding at the beginning,” the butler said earnestly. “Could you please let it go, considering that he took the initiative to be honest with you and even admitted that he was a boy for your sake?”

Yan Zhen: "..."

The younger one just finished using his self-inflicted suffering as a ruse, and now the older one is putting on a sob story.

The Song family is full of drama queens.

Yan Zhen rolled his eyes inwardly, but said aloud, "Okay, I got it."

Lu Yuanzhou arrived that evening.

He learned from some source that Song Yi was injured and unconscious, and drove over overnight to visit him.

Song Yi was still asleep, lying on the bed with a bruised and swollen face.

Lu Yuanzhou frowned and asked the housekeeper with concern about Song Yi's injuries and why he was injured. Meanwhile, Yan Zhen was sitting on the sofa in the master bedroom doing his winter vacation homework.

Faced with Lu Yuanzhou's question, the butler was clearly hesitant, answering every question perfectly and not revealing a single crucial piece of information.

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information from the housekeeper, Lu Yuanzhou could only offer a few perfunctory words of advice to take good care of his cousin before taking his leave.

As he was leaving, his gaze fell on Yan Zhen, who remained silent, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

As the car drove out of the Song family manor, Lu Yuanzhou pulled over and turned on his hazard lights in the night.

Thinking of Song Yi lying motionless on the bed, his face covered in bruises, clearly from being beaten up.

With so many bodyguards at the manor, and an extremely difficult butler, who would dare to lay a hand on Song Yi, this precious darling, and beat him up like this?

Lu Yuanzhou pictured Yan Zhen in his mind.

He squinted, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

"Help me find out about someone. Her name is Lin Xun, and she is a student at Bihai High School."
