Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 194 - 194 191 Different

Chapter 194: Chapter 191 Different Chapter 194: Chapter 191 Different Jiang Yan washed up, then dragged a chair over to sit next to Liu Wenhui.

He had already deleted ‘Poison Perfume’; since Tian Xiaohui had seen this person’s true colors, there was no point in continuing the game.

Liu Wenhui never had an interest in such sly, world-weary women of society.

“What’s up, Brother Yan, got something to say?”

While expertly playing his game, he looked over at Jiang Yan with a curious glance.

This was the first time Jiang Yan spoke to him so solemnly; it was somewhat frightening.

Jiang Yan got straight to the point, “What’s going on between you and Qi Lihong?”

That matter…

Liu Wenhui let out a sigh of relief and smiled cheekily, “Boys and girls, what else can it be, right?”

Jiang Yan frowned, “Liu Wenhui, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Qi Lihong is different from other girls. She comes from a special family, she’s sensitive, and she’s not someone you can toy with emotionally.”

“Hey hey hey, Brother Yan, that’s not right. What do you mean toy with emotions? How have I toyed with her emotions? I’m helping the weak here.”

Liu Wenhui protested on his behalf while his gaming stuttered, “Seriously, Brother Yan, I just can’t stand to see a girl getting bullied. Isn’t that son of a gun Wan Yuan picking on Qi Lihong just because she’s poor and timid? I’m with Qi Lihong now; let’s see if he still has the guts to bully her?”

At first, it was indeed about not liking Wan Yuan, with the intention of giving Qi Lihong a hand, but now…

As Liu Wenhui thought about how he had forced Qi Lihong to eat with him for only a week and her originally sallow little face had visibly become fairer, her skin finer, and even her dry yellow hair glossier than before…

This feeling of personally watching a woman he took into his care blossom and become more beautiful… Thinking this, Liu Wenhui glanced guiltily at Jiang Yan, only to meet his intense gaze.

Liu Wenhui forced a smile, “Don’t look at me like that, Brother Yan; it’s kind of scary.”

Jiang Yan crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, seriously saying, “Liu Wenhui, strictly speaking, whatever you do with Qi Lihong is your private business, and it’s not my place to interfere. But as a brother, I still have to advise you. A girl like her isn’t someone you should mess with unless you can guarantee you’ll marry her after graduation!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenhui looked terrified, “No way, boss, it’s just a college romance, and you’re talking about marriage? What is this, ancient times? Responsible just for holding hands?”

“Other people might accompany you just for the romance, but with her, it probably won’t work. What Weng Minhong said isn’t wrong. If you keep this up, you might really cause someone’s death.”

Liu Wenhui puckered his lips in dissatisfaction, “It’s that damn Weng Minhong again. That woman really meddles too much. Causing someone’s death? Can’t I just be more careful and take extra measures? Oh, I forgot, she wouldn’t understand. With that face of hers, I doubt anyone’s ever pursued her. Besides, who could stomach kissing that mug!”

Jiang Yan: ….

He got up and went to bed, “I’ve said what I had to and also what I shouldn’t. Whether you listen or not is up to you. Just one sentence, be careful!”

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen.” After saying this, he grinned and looked up at Jiang Yan, “Brother Yan, from what you’re saying, does it mean you’ll marry your girl after graduation?”

Jiang Yan glanced at him, lay down and stared at the ceiling above, and sighed, “We’re different from you guys!”

….

On the other side, after Jiang Yan left, Mu Chenyan went to run a bath for her daughter. Once Song Jiawen had finished bathing, Yu Feng brought her a bowl of prepared medicine and said, “Drink this and go to sleep. If you feel unwell during the night, tell your second brother.”

Standing beside them, Mu Chenyan reassured her, “Rest easy, I’ll stay with you tonight.”

Although she felt a bit better after eating, the fever had not subsided; bathing now made her feel very weak.

After Song Jiawen drank her medicine and went to sleep, Mu Chenyan closed the door to her daughter’s room and went downstairs with her son.

“I heard from Jiang Yan that your sister has always had trouble sleeping. Today, when he brought her over…”

Recalling the look of terror on her daughter’s face pained Mu Chenyan. She asked Yu Feng, “With her condition, do you think we should see a psychologist for some counseling?”

Yu Feng frowned, “We did not consider this before; it was an oversight. I’ll ask my senior mentor later, he minored in psychology, and his teacher is highly authoritative in psychiatry.”

After discussing Xiaosi’s issue, Yu Feng spoke to his mother again, “Uncle has been looking for me several times this week. His mother-in-law has a tumor in her brain and wants me to perform the surgery on her. I told him to get in line and wait for whatever date he gets. He wasn’t pleased, and although he didn’t say anything when he left today, I could tell he won’t let this go; he’s sure to come back.”

Mu Chenyan snorted coldly, “Don’t worry about whether he’s happy or not; if he’s not happy, then I’m happy. And don’t agree to it if he comes again. The people from Li Qingyan’s family are troublesome; if there’s any issue with the surgery, they definitely won’t let you off the hook.”

“I understand, that’s why I did three surgeries in a row today and plan to take a few days off soon. But, Mom, Uncle said Grandpa’s eightieth birthday is the day after tomorrow, and he will come to invite you.”

Mu Chenyan frowned, “Taking over the position of Chairman from your grandfather, Mu Shaotang has become more and more shameless. But…” She sneered, “It’s not that he wants to invite me; it’s definitely Li Qingyan pushing him to do so, and the ultimate goal is to have you operate on his mother-in-law.”

“Don’t worry, my appointments are scheduled three months out; he won’t be able to get one.”

At that moment, Yu Heng came out of his room after taking a shower, overhearing their conversation. He chimed in, “Uncle is not good at dealing with people, nor is he good at raising his kids. Mu Wan even went looking for Xiaosi, but Mu Can ran into them and stopped her. They argued at school, and I happened to pass by then.”

“Mu Wan looking for Xiaosi? Why would she want to find Xiaosi?”

Although she had a strong dislike for her younger brother, the children were, after all, not related to the matter, so regarding his two children, she merely ignored them with no particular animosity.

Yu Heng recalled the conversation he’d overheard, “It seemed from Mu Can’s point of view that Mu Wan wanted Xiaosi to attend Grandpa’s birthday feast. That way, you’d definitely go too. She also said something about ‘everyone being happy’ and letting their grandfather live out his years in peace. Ha!”

“Uncle’s family…” Yu Feng shook his head, “All hopeless, except for Mu Zhe.”

Yu Heng looked at him sideways, “You’ve always been close with Mu Zhe since you were kids. Why? Have you two been in contact since you returned?”

“How could that be? Not even once. We’ve only met twice, first when he accompanied his girlfriend to the hospital, and we merely nodded at each other. The second was at the law firm downstairs, and you were there too.”

Mu Chenyan, irritated, said, “Enough, there’s nothing to talk about this.”

Just the thought of Mu Shaotang coming to invite her to Grandpa’s eightieth birthday celebration in two days made her more irritated.

After thinking it over, Mu Chenyan said to her two sons, “Xiaosi is ill now, and it’s not suitable for her to go out on the weekend. To prevent these people from bothering her, you two decide, one of you should go the day after tomorrow.”

By sending a representative, surely the Mu family will be appeased!
