Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 140 - 140 137 No Fortune

Chapter 140: Chapter 137 No Fortune Chapter 140: Chapter 137 No Fortune Death certificate?

So this family actually let Xiaosi take the place of their youngest daughter, living in their home for fourteen years?

As for hastily returning to the countryside, if they didn’t go back, would they just wait to be exposed?

It’s not just about not recognizing a three-year-old, even a one-year-old might not be recognized by unfamiliar people right away, but how could the upstairs, downstairs, and opposite neighbors not know?

Moreover, their family used every connection at that time, with newspapers and television broadcasting missing person notices everywhere. Aside from the countryside, people in the city could have seen it more or less.

Therefore, the detective deduced that they must have intentionally hidden Xiaosi at that time.

Damn it!

What’s even more detestable is that even though they kept Xiaosi at home, they didn’t treat her as their own daughter, which is quite easy to investigate. Everyone in their village knows that Song Jianqiu and his wife are biased, and they even forced Xiaosi into matchmaking before the college entrance exam, attempting to send her to some lousy health school in the county and not let her take the exam.

It was the uncle who lived in the town and the grandmother who stopped it.

But then rumors started spreading in the village and the school that Xiaosi had seduced someone first, and then she had no choice but to transfer to another school.

This damn family…

Yu Feng was still in Yu Heng’s apartment at the time, and immediately called Mu Chenyan out as soon as she finished the phone call.

Yu Ci, who was arranging gifts she had brought back from abroad for Xiaosi, also ran out when she heard the noise.

Yu Heng, who had been sitting in the living room, heard parts of the conversation as Yu Feng was on the phone, his face now completely clouded over.

After listening to Yu Feng’s retelling, Mu Chenyan sat on the sofa without moving for a long time, her heart aching intensely!

The precious child she had cherished since birth had been so… mistreated!

“I’ve always been afraid to ask her how she lived in that home. Now I understand… how on earth did she endure all these years…”

The three brothers sat silently on the side. After a while, Yu Ci suddenly stood up; Yu Heng looked up at him, “What are you going to do?”

“Do what? Go find the culprit. If it weren’t for her…” Yu Ci gritted his teeth, “I didn’t say that just hitting her last night would be the end of it. That would be letting her off too easily. Second brother, tell the detective agency to have two people keep an eye on Tan Min and Yu Xin.”

“They do need to be watched. Uncle is going to settle accounts with that mother and daughter next, we can’t let them run away.”

But Yu Ci didn’t care about this—he was too furious. If he didn’t vent, he wouldn’t be able to sleep that night.

He grabbed his car keys and ran out. This time, Yu Heng didn’t follow.

Doesn’t matter how you beat them, as long as they don’t die!

“Mom, about Yunzhou…”

“Xiaofeng, come with me. I want to see Song Jianqiu and Xie Jingying.”

“Should we inform the local police station?”

Knowing that others were looking for the child, yet hiding her away secretly, was already a criminal offense.

“Yes, we’ll go with the police.”

Recalling the mention of Song Xiwen by the detective, Yu Feng’s furrowed brow relaxed slightly, “Her elder sister seems to have been kind to her. She’s the girl who found Xiaosi and brought her back. Grandparents and uncles are also okay, but they probably don’t know the truth, still thinking Xiaosi is Xie Jingying’s biological child.”

While the mother and son were discussing going to Yunzhou, Yu Heng was listening quietly on the side and finally asked, “Before we go to Yunzhou, shouldn’t we tell Xiaosi?”

……

The next afternoon, after the military training ended and dinner was eaten, Jiang Yan returned to his dormitory for a shower. While he was still washing clothes in the water room, Tian Xiaohui called him to take a phone call.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Yan went downstairs and, following Yu Heng’s instructions, found his office.

The Mathematics Professor Yu from the university was renowned. Here, Jiang Yan couldn’t be as casual as when he had faced Yu Heng before. He must treat him with the same respect afforded to other professors.

After all, this was the professor’s office.

He suspected that Yu Heng’s primary purpose for suggesting this meeting here was to put him down.

So insidious!

Having a brother is indeed not a good thing.

Especially when he stared at the three young men sitting in the office, who looked quite similar……

So, the third brother is back too?

Great!

Just came back and wants to cow me down immediately.

“Is it this kid?”

As expected, before Jiang Yan even had a chance to speak, this third brother started speaking disrespectfully.

Jiang Yan’s expression remained unchanged, and he politely greeted Yu Heng, “Professor Yu.”

Then he turned and nodded towards Mu Chenyan, who was sitting on the other side, “Auntie Mu.”

Yu Heng didn’t care to find out why he was called Professor Yu and their mom Auntie Mu; he just lifted his chin toward a chair on the side, “Sit.”

Then he got straight to the point, “Jiang Yan, why did you previously say Xiaosi was adopted by Song Jianqiu and his wife?”

Adopted, and replacing their family’s little daughter, are two different things.

He didn’t believe that Jiang Yan was unaware of this.

Jiang Yan understood, the Yu Family’s three brothers must have sent someone to investigate in Yunzhou.

After pondering for a moment, he sighed, “Since you had it investigated, then you must be aware that Jiajia…”

“It’s Xiaosi!”

Yu Ci frowned from the side and interrupted him. What Jiajia, that name has already had a death certificate issued for it, using it is so ill-omened!

“Alright, Xiaosi!”

Jiang Yan complied amiably, “Xiaosi has a very good relationship with her grandmother and uncle and aunt. Xie Jingying, no matter what she’s like, is ultimately her grandmother’s daughter. At the moment she was admitted to university, she had planned to let it go…”

“How can that be acceptable? This couple knowingly broke the law…”

“The one who insisted on keeping Xiaosi back then was Song Xiwen. Of course, at that time Song Xiwen was not yet eighteen years old. If it wasn’t for her parents’ indulgence, she couldn’t have kept the person. But Xiaosi values relationships deeply, and Song Xiwen’s husband and son are both very close to her…”

The mother and sons understood.

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, the office was quiet for a long while.

In the end, it was Yu Ci who broke the silence first, “I don’t think we can just let this go, Xiaosi was missing for fourteen years. Yu Xin is the main culprit, but the Song couple is equally unforgivable, we can’t let them off so easily…”

Jiang Yan remained silent, just listening quietly.

Finally, Mu Chenyan turned her head and smiled at him, “Jiang Yan, thank you for being with her all this way. Auntie can see that you are a righteous and good kid…”

What does that mean?

Don’t go praising and praising and then end with a ‘but’, and then toss a check at him, “Here’s your reward. From now on, Xiaosi will be protected by me and her brothers…”

His heart was pounding chaotically in his chest, but fortunately, in the end, Mu Chenyan didn’t pull out a check or say the nonsense he was thinking of. She only concluded with, “If you need anything in the future, don’t be shy, just come to Auntie.”

While Jiang Yan was at ease, he also felt a faint sense of loss!

It seems that he really doesn’t have the fortune for easy money. These kinds of windfalls would never come his way. He was still fantasizing about how, if he got the check, he and Jiajia would split it and live lavishly.

For half a month, no, a month without working!
