Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 215 - 215 212 A Bank Card

Chapter 215: Chapter 212 A Bank Card Chapter 215: Chapter 212 A Bank Card Yu Heng turned around as if nothing had happened, his hands tucked into his coat pockets, strolling leisurely towards the fruit store.

No more than a hundred meters away, with his stride, even if he walked slowly, he would get there in two minutes. Besides, his seemingly leisurely pace was quite brisk, so just half a minute into his walk, when he was about to approach the fruit store, a familiar figure dashed out, quickly ran off, and jumped into a taxi parked by the roadside.

Yu Heng stopped in his tracks, squinting as he watched the taxi merge into the traffic and drive away.

Turned out it was Yu Xin, she’d come back!

“Yu Heng, who was that?”

Luo Xiao and Professor Li, seeing him come to a standstill, quickly walked over to inquire about the situation.

“Professor Yu, that can’t be one of your old flames, right?” Professor Li said with a laugh, while heaving a sigh of relief inside. Thank goodness it wasn’t someone connected to him—it gave him quite the scare.

“How could that be possible? If I had any old flames, they would be overseas. The woman was this tall, wearing a black coat, I didn’t see her face, her hair was wrapped in a scarf, but you could tell it was permed. Professor Li, do you recognize her?”

Yu Heng spoke as if giving a serious account, relieving a suspicious Luo Xiao, who also turned to look at Professor Li.

Perhaps because he already had something to hide, Professor Li felt a twinge in his heart but maintained a forced smile, “How could I possibly recognize… Ah, my wife sent me to buy rice, I better go now.”

Changing the subject, Professor Li hurried away.

Luo Xiao snorted, “Such an old man in his forties, with a kid about to go to college, and still not behaving properly.”

“Why bother with others, let’s go.”

Initially, it was just trying attitudes, but after spending over a month together, Yu Heng had gradually grown accustomed to having Luo Xiao around.

Maybe it was the way Yu Zekun neglected his family responsibilities, and Mu Chenyan’s indifferent handling that influenced the three brothers. As for love and marriage, none of them were too enthusiastic.

Today was Xiaosi’s forty-eighth birthday. Initially, Yu Heng hadn’t thought to invite Luo Xiao—it wasn’t that he didn’t want to; he just didn’t think of it.

Once Mu Chenyan reminded him, he quickly called her, and she had just come out to meet her.

The two of them walked back to Qinghe Garden, and as they had hardly taken two steps into the gate, they happened to meet Yu Ci coming out.

“This is my third brother,” Yu Heng introduced him to Luo Xiao.

After exchanging greetings, Yu Heng asked Luo Xiao to wait for a moment and then spoke to Yu Ci in a low voice about Yu Xin’s return.

“She dares to come around here!” Yu Ci scoffed, “That silly uncle of ours bought insurance for Yu Xin when she was young. He was so busy with domestic lawsuits during the divorce that he forgot to handle that insurance overseas. It was I who reminded him. When we went to transfer it, we just happened to run into Yu Xin going to the bank to withdraw money. It was lucky we acted first, or she would have taken it.”

Yu Heng understood—she had run out of money and had no choice but to come back. Because Tan Min was still in Beijing, at least she had a place to stay with her.

The Mu Family.

Mu Jiawen was trying on a knitted sweater Yang Dan had made for her. Made of cashmere, it was soft and warm against the skin, with a red heart-shaped pattern on the chest that was as good as anything bought in a store.

“Yang Dan, you’re really skilled with your hands.”

Mu Chenyan, too, tried on the scarf made for her, the same color as Xiaosi’s light blue sweater—very pretty.

After Mu Chenyan went downstairs, Yang Dan chided Jiajia, “You really should have told me about your birthday in advance. It made me rush without enough time to prepare a gift.”

“Isn’t this the gift?”

Jiajia folded the sweater with genuine satisfaction, “I really like it, truly!”

She then added with a laugh, “You know this is my first birthday celebration. Honestly, I’m not quite used to it myself. If it weren’t for my mom and the others, I would have just invited you and second brother to have a meal together.”

The thought of having to face a crowd of strangers later made Jiawen’s head ache.

Turning her head towards the closed door, Yang Dan still whispered, “What did Jiang Yan prepare for your birthday gift?”

“I was just about to tell you.”

Mu Jiawen said as she stood up and walked over to a desk, opened the middle drawer, and took out a bank card.

“A bank card?”

Yang Dan’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Jiang Yan’s birthday gift to you is a bank card? How much money is in it?”

Mu Jiawen blinked at her and said softly, “Not sure.”

“Not sure? He didn’t tell you when he gave it to you?”

Yang Dan knew Jiang Yan made quite a bit of money selling computers; it was no secret that he had feelings for Jiajia, so Yang Dan assumed that giving a bank card meant it had to start with at least ten thousand.

“This is his salary card, and the portion he earns from the computer shop is also in here. He hasn’t checked it in a long time, and Xiao Si has been depositing money into it, so even he doesn’t know exactly how much is there.”

Salary card?

Yang Dan was stunned, while Mu Jiawen continued to explain, “There’s an Old Mr. Cheng in the Xinyu Residential Area, whose son-in-law owns a company. They hired Jiang Yan as a network manager. He goes there five or six times a month. He can work remotely when there’s no need to be on-site at the school. He gets paid four thousand a month, and the salary is deposited into this card.”

So this card’s value wasn’t limited to the current amount; it included future earnings as well.

Was this Jiang Yan’s way of confessing his feelings?

But even if it was a confession, this wasn’t the normal approach, was it? Who would hand over their salary card during the courting phase?

Unless the relationship was at a mature stage where marriage was the natural next step—but weren’t those typically mature adults?

And usually giving a salary card was a husband’s promise to his wife, right?

Was he…

Yang Dan looked complexly at Mu Jiawen, her eyes filled with envy. She asked, “You do know what it means for him to give you his salary card, right?”

Mu Jiawen’s usually impassive face blushed slightly as she nodded lightly, “I know, it’s for me to help him save money.”

Yang Dan: ….

“Are you sure you understand it correctly?”

Mu Jiawen couldn’t help laughing, “Just teasing you. Haven’t I seen a pig run without having eaten pork? He’s handed me the lifeline of his finances, how could I not understand what that means. It’s just that this guy…”

She clicked her tongue, bit her lower lip, and her cheeks reddened even more, as if they were about to drip blood.

Yang Dan: ….

“What are you thinking about? Why are you blushing?”

“Not telling you.”

Yang Dan teased her, “It must be something unhealthy.”

Mu Jiawen didn’t believe Yang Dan could guess, but it wouldn’t matter if she did. She proudly said, “If things between a couple were healthy, wouldn’t that be abnormal? Besides, we’ve hugged each other before, what’s there not to think about?”

Yang Dan was dumbfounded. She truly hadn’t expected the girl who usually seemed so pure and detached to be so… bold and unrestrained in love?

Yang Dan leaned in and whispered, “Have you kissed yet?”

That, not yet!

Mu Jiawen blinked, feeling a bit regretful and thought, maybe, a kiss tonight?
