Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 214 - 214 211 Birthday Gift

Chapter 214: Chapter 211 Birthday Gift Chapter 214: Chapter 211 Birthday Gift Although the portrait was of how she looked fourteen years ago, for adults, changes over a decade or so do occur, but they aren’t usually drastic, unless one undergoes plastic surgery.

Hence, overall, Song Jiawen’s portrait provided the police with significant assistance.

Especially for that boss with the last name Ye.

On the way back, Jiang Yan said, “That man with the last name Ye, he wouldn’t be Ye Junqi’s father, would he?”

“Did he fake his own death then?”

Yu Heng was driving, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, “Last time, all those little lackeys were still inside, and only Ye Junqi came out, so you can imagine his status. So, it’s completely possible that the man with the last name Ye is his father. I and second brother have been attacked twice now, and it definitely has something to do with Ye Junqi… Isn’t it too weak to keep getting hit without fighting back? Kid, don’t you usually have some ideas? Think of one!”

Jiang Yan squinted at the scenery outside the window, “You know which school Ye Junqi is from, right?”

“I know, just tell me what you’re planning.”

Ye Junqi’s teacher didn’t lie when they vouched for him at the school; his usual performance truly seemed like that of a good student, at least he never skipped class.

With this in mind, finding him became easy.

….

December 12th was Song Jiawen’s eighteenth birthday, and it was also from this day on that her name would be completely changed to Mu Jiawen when announced publicly.

However, because this day didn’t fall on a weekend, the celebration was moved to the ninth, which is this coming Sunday.

This had been scheduled since last month. Mu Chenyan had two close friends in Beijing, and plus the two cousins from the Yu Family, a total of four families were invited. It was because they were close that, having heard that Xiaosi had been found, they had called wanting to meet her long ago.

But Mu Chenyan had refused them before, as at that time she was trying her best to get close to her daughter and didn’t have the time to entertain others.

They finally agreed to come over for the eighteenth birthday celebration.

But recently, since Xiaosi was undergoing psychological therapy, Mu Chenyan wasn’t sure if this simple little celebration should still be held.

Yu Feng felt there was no issue and just to be safe, they even asked Ouyang Nan, who after receiving a positive response, assured everyone.

Yu Ci would also arrive in Beijing at noon that day.

“Longevity noodles!”

Jiang Yan didn’t leave last night and cooked a bowl of noodles for Song Jiawen early in the morning, with tomato soup base, a fried egg on top, and the character for “longevity” written using soy sauce on the egg, hers was a singular strand!

“A singular strand?” Yu Feng found it hard to believe, slurping a mouthful from his own bowl, then said to his sister, “Lift it up, let me see.”

Yu Heng was also looking at her.

Mu Jiawen paid no mind to her brothers, and Mu Chenyan was even more annoyed, “I watched Xiaoyan make it from scratch, cook it and serve it in the bowl, and you still don’t believe it?… Right, you two who can’t do anything, it’s normal for you not to believe.”

Yu Feng & Yu Heng: ….

Okay, so you switched from calling him “Jiang Yan” to “Xiaoyan,” but why launch a personal attack on us?

And which of us inherited the inability to cook, do you have any clue in your heart?

But neither dared to voice their complaints, not even a word.

After eating, they hurriedly left the house, rushing to the meeting place they had arranged with Lin Fei.

Having remembered everything yesterday, Jiajia felt as if a great weight had been lifted off her chest; for the first time she slept without nightmares waking her, only stirring once in a daze in the middle of the night, then quickly fell back to sleep with Mu Chenyan’s gentle patting.

So, she woke up feeling quite refreshed this morning.

“Oh right, Xiaosi, have you notified that classmate of yours? Yang Dan.”

Mu Jiawen was watching Jiang Yan fiddle with the coffee machine when she heard him speak and muttered in confusion, “I forgot…”

Jiang Yan poured the coffee beans in and hit the switch, “It’s fine, telling her now is perfect, just say to come over for a meal.”

Mu Jiawen got the message and quickly turned to call Yang Dan.

The second eldest brother had also just received the notice today, he scratched his head and complained to Jiang Yan, “Bro, you should have told me earlier, this is so sudden, I don’t even know what gift to buy for her.”

“You don’t need to buy a gift, just give her a red packet with two thousand in it.”

Jiajia didn’t have a strong desire for material things; when lacking for nothing, money was always the most practical.

“Ah? That’s okay?”

“Of course, think about it, if it’s your birthday, would you choose a bag worth two thousand or two thousand in cash?”

Obviously two thousand in cash; why would anyone use a two thousand worth bag? Even a two hundred worth bag would feel extravagant.

With that thought, the second brother suddenly got it and happily went out to buy a red packet after hanging up the phone.

Yang Dan didn’t think much of it when she received the call, as she was actually planning to visit this week anyway. She had knitted a sweater for Jiajia and a scarf for Aunt Mu, planning to come over in the afternoon after finishing her work at the milk tea shop in the morning.

The burn ointment given by Second Brother Yu last time was particularly effective; just two weeks later, the originally horrific burn on her wrist had significantly healed.

This time she didn’t bring milk tea or coffee, because after having the coffee made from top-quality beans at Jiajia’s house last time, she realized some things were unnecessary.

When Yang Dan arrived at the entrance of Beijing University by bus at four in the afternoon, she was carrying the bag with the sweater and scarf, planning to buy some fruits nearby to bring with her.

Not far from the gate of Qinghe Garden, there was a fruit shop by the roadside.

While selecting mangoes, Yang Dan noticed a woman in a black wool coat standing beside her, her face tightly wrapped in a scarf, revealing only her eyes.

The woman stood under the fruit shop’s awning, her head tilted outward, sneakily peering at something.

At first, Yang Dan didn’t pay much attention, but after having picked out fruits and paid for them, she glanced forward out of curiosity and then froze.

Isn’t that Brother Jiajia?

The person standing beside him with her arm entwined with his must be his girlfriend, right?

Standing at the entrance of the community, the two of them speaking to someone else, they matched well in terms of temperament. But when it came to looks, Brother Jiajia’s girlfriend was a bit less attractive compared to him.

However, Yang Dan found it quite normal, after all, for someone as handsome as Brother Jiajia, it would be tough to find a girlfriend who looked even better than him.

But now clearly wasn’t the time to think about this.

Yang Dan glanced at the woman beside her and walked past her towards the community.

When she reached the gates, Yang Dan stopped to greet Yu Heng, “Big brother.”

“Yang Dan is here, come in quickly. Xiaosi is waiting for you at home,” he responded.

Yang Dan nodded, and as she turned to leave, she whispered, “There’s a woman by the fruit shop who’s been hiding there watching you guys. I’m not sure who she’s really looking at, but you guys should be careful.”

Yu Heng, Luo Xiao, and another colleague facing them were all momentarily stunned, but all three reacted quickly, resisting the urge to look towards the fruit shop.

After Yang Dan left, Yu Heng said to the others, “You two stay here, I’ll go have a look.”

Luo Xiao grabbed him, “I’ll go with you.”

“That would just alert the snake. Be good and just stand here and chat with Professor Li like normal,” he instructed.
