Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 186 - 186 183 It Turns Out Your Family Business Is

Chapter 186: Chapter 183 It Turns Out Your Family Business Is Hereditary Chapter 186: Chapter 183 It Turns Out Your Family Business Is Hereditary Song Jiawen had no idea that after the battle at the café, her already considerable fame at the physics department soared even further.

“Did you hear? Our department’s belle really packs a punch when she hits someone.”

“Yeah, one plateful isn’t enough, she goes for another.”

“Such disrespect, such disrespect!”

“Wouldn’t dare pursue, wouldn’t dare pursue…”

The boys in the physics department, who had been somewhat tempted by her, were now keeping their distance.

The next day in class, Xue Weisong, her desk mate, asked her about the incident. Song Jiawen was a bit impatient to bring it up again, and just as she turned her head, she saw Xia Shi seemingly walking toward them, she took the opportunity to tilt her chin up, “He’s looking for you.”

Although Xia Shi hadn’t been elected class president or became the head of the youth league, his dream of holding office hadn’t ceased. He’d heard that he had joined the university student council, but Song Jiawen didn’t care which department it was.

Xue Weisong was aware, but having been desk mates with Song Jiawen for a while, he understood her straightforward and direct character and knew she disliked hearing about these things, so he didn’t bring it up.

Hearing Song Jiawen’s reminder, he turned his head to look.

“Next week there’s a debate competition hosted by the math department, and they’ve invited ours to participate. This is the sign-up sheet, take a look and decide who from our class should go.”

Xia Shi said while placing a form in front of Xue Weisong.

Xue Weisong frowned, “Do we have to go?”

Everyone knew that their physics department had the most burdensome and difficult courses in the entire university, so they rarely participated in such varied school activities, mainly due to lack of time.

Xia Shi glanced at Song Jiawen, who was looking down at her book, and chuckled lightly, “Well, the event is definitely voluntary. You’re the class president, it’s your call. If you think it’s unnecessary, I can go talk to Director Gu and tell him our class won’t join.”

The Director Gu that Xia Shi was referring to was the vice-chairman of the university student council and also the head of the organization department within the physics department.

The university’s student council was essentially like a miniature society. Xue Weisong had planned to join the student council when he first enrolled, which was why he had strove so hard for the position of class president.

However, as the semester started, and as he sat with Song Jiawen, the ambition that once stirred within him had quietly settled. He realized that participating in those manipulative power struggles was really pointless.

Being just a class president was actually pretty good.

Therefore, after seeking advice from the counselor and classmates, he had promoted quite a few activities for the class.

If this were to continue, Xia Shi seriously suspected he’d probably even decline to perform at the New Year’s Eve party.

How could that be acceptable?

She had a talent, and had already planned what to perform for the event.

“But think carefully, Xue Weisong. You’ve already declined several activities, and Director Gu is already displeased with our class.”

Xue Weisong raised his head to look at Xia Shi, thinking he might as well just say Director Gu has an issue with me, for all the little ways he’s made life difficult, right?

“Xia Shi, your eloquence isn’t bad, right? And you get along well with the math department, why don’t you go and participate?”

Xia Shi pointed at the form, “Any class that participates needs to send at least two people for the selection. I wouldn’t mind going for the sake of the class honor, but who’s the other one? Who will go?”

Xue Weisong leaned back in his chair, saying chucklingly, “With your impressive skills, thriving in the student council, sharp witted and eloquent, one person as good as two, why would anyone else be needed, right?”

Some boys behind them started snickering.

Xia Shi’s expression changed suddenly; she hadn’t expected Xue Weisong to mock her in front of everyone.

“Xue Weisong, you…”

“Xia Shi.”

Xia Shi was just about to lash out at Xue Weisong when she was suddenly interrupted by a familiar female voice. She turned around, stunned, “Mom?”

The classroom’s front door was open, and there stood a short-haired, middle-aged woman in a gray cashmere coat. Exuding a commanding presence, she glanced at Xia Shi, then cast a dismissive look toward Xue Weisong.

“Mom…”

Xia Shi quickly ran over, her eyes reddening as she got closer to her mother.

The classmates were somewhat speechless. In front of your mom like this, what are you trying to tell her? That Xue Weisong bullied you?

Give me a break, every week there are student union activities roping us in. If Xue Weisong doesn’t refuse, who would participate? Who has the time?

Honestly, since the start of school, everyone has found learning the new courses quite challenging. If it weren’t for Xue Weisong and Song Jiawen, the two with higher intellects in class, they might not even be able to turn in their assignments on time.

College life is rich and varied, that’s true, but you need the energy to participate, right?

In the face of failing grades, everything else is insignificant.

“No one said anything, so what are you crying for?”

Xia Shi’s mom looked at her daughter with a smile, wiped the tears from her face, and said indulgently, “How old are you, still crying like a child?”

The voice, meant to be gentle and comforting, somehow made Xue Weisong feel uncomfortable.

“Is that… your class leader?”

Xue Weisong’s brow twitched as he greeted her with neither humility nor arrogance, “Hello, aunty!”

“Hello,” Xia Shi’s mom also responded indifferently as she walked a few steps into the classroom with Xia Shi, her high heels clacking on the floor.

Looking at Xue Weisong, her tone was calm and measured, “Classmate, since you’ve called me aunty, let me say a few words. My Xia Shi, she may be a bit straightforward and not so tactful. If she has offended you in any way, I apologize on her behalf. But as a boy, shouldn’t you at least have basic politeness and tolerance towards girls? Especially as the class leader, you can’t do great things with a narrow mind, right?”

Even with his normally good composure, Xue Weisong’s expression darkened.

He knew that Xia Shi’s mom was publicly slapping his face, intending to stand up for Xia Shi.

Controlling himself, he didn’t say a word, but looked down and pulled a textbook out from under the desk, placing it on the table.

He thought that by staying silent, Xia Shi’s mom would leave the classroom, but to his surprise, she turned her fire towards Song Jiawen.

“But now that I see your deskmate, I understand why you treat my Xia Shi that way. Hmm, this young lady, you are indeed very pretty!”

What do you mean?

Song Jiawen looked up to meet the other’s cold gaze and said, unruffled, “Now I see why Xia Shi’s personality is so awkward and domineering. Is it a family trait?”

Xia Shi’s mom’s smile vanished, and her eyes sharply pierced Song Jiawen, “What did you say?”

Song Jiawen had already lowered her head to read, ignoring her.

Really, with a daughter like that, no wonder the mother is the same!

“Pfft!”

Xue Weisong suddenly laughed out loud, clearly filled with mockery and derision.

“Song Jiawen. Xue Weisong, you guys…”

Xia Shi was so angry her face turned red, but before she could finish speaking, Luo Xiao strode in from outside and called out, “Everyone take your seats, class is starting.”

After speaking, she seemed to just notice the outsider in the room, and with a puzzled “Huh,” she said, “Is this a parent? Then please wait outside, we are about to start class.”
