Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 221 - 221 218 Rename

Chapter 221: Chapter 218 Rename Chapter 221: Chapter 218 Rename The three of them entered the classroom, with Jiang Yan assisting the teacher by calling roll and collecting homework, he always sat in the first row.

Dai Lei had already placed all the books and homework needed for the morning on the desk, and Jiang Yan walked straight over and sat down.

Weng Minhong moved to the second row behind him, and as Liu Wenhui passed by her, he exaggeratedly sneezed, “Damn! Aren’t you afraid of suffocating yourself with so much spray?”

Weng Minhong’s face darkened in an instant, and she glared up at Liu Wenhui.

“What are you glaring at?”

Qi Lihong quickly stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and looked at him pleadingly, whispering, “Let’s go.”

The two had always been at odds, and the classmates were used to it. But for Qi Lihong, it was always a dilemma.

Weng Minhong had initially applied for a poverty assistance scholarship for her, and later had always considered her in everything. Qi Lihong appreciated her kindness. Therefore, she really didn’t want Liu Wenhui to confront Weng Minhong.

But Liu Wenhui really found Weng Minhong annoying. Damn, what the hell did his dating have to do with her?

Stick your nose in every pie!

However, he still showed respect to Qi Lihong in class, he huffed coldly and left, but not before his glance swept up and down Weng Minhong. She was wearing a black cinched waist down jacket with a yellow turtleneck underneath, which really brightened her skin tone, making her powdered face look even whiter.

And that figure, he wondered if it was the black down jacket that was flattering, or if her recent diet had taken effect, as her whole body did indeed look more slender.

It’s just that…

Liu Wenhui glanced at her chest and scoffed, it’s like she hadn’t developed at all.

Perhaps sensing Liu Wenhui’s gaze and his cold huff, Weng Minhong became infuriated with embarrassment and, with a slap on the desk, stood up, “Liu Wenhui!”

“Why are you shouting so loudly? I’m not deaf.”

Weng Minhong’s eyes reddened with anger, and she turned her head to look at Jiang Yan, who was calmly seated and organizing his books.

“Jiang Yan…”

“Yo, yo, yo, what did I do that you’re looking for the class rep? What do you want from the class rep? To beat me up or yell at me?”

At that moment, without turning his head, Jiang Yan said, “Feeling proud of arguing with a woman, are you? Get back to your seat.”

It wasn’t that he wanted to help Weng Minhong out; he was just sick of listening to their argument. Annoying!

Liu Wenhui obediently returned to his seat at the back of the class, and Qi Lihong, still looking like a meek wife, sat down beside him, placing the cloth bag she had been holding onto his desk.

Liu Wenhui started to eat his breakfast nonchalantly, facing either jealous or envious glances from around, he appeared slightly smug.

Meanwhile, Weng Minhong turned back and sat down as well. She looked at Jiang Yan’s back silently for a moment but ultimately said nothing, opening her book to start the day’s preview.

….

“Mu Jiawen.”

“Present.”

The superconductor teacher pausing in the middle of the roll call, picked up the attendance list and looked at it carefully again: Mu, not Song, it was correct.

He looked at Mu Jiawen with puzzled eyes but didn’t say anything, and continued to read down the list.

But the classmates who heard were all astonished!

What’s with changing one’s surname halfway through?

Xia Shi turned to look at Mu Jiawen and pursed her lips. Her mother had strictly warned her last time she left: do not provoke Song Jiawen anymore, no, it should be Mu Jiawen.

She now knew that Mu Chenyan, the highly invited honorary president of the art academy, was actually her mother, and their Advanced Math teacher, Professor Yu, was her own brother.

Of course, even with this identity, she was not afraid of her. Although her family was not from Beijing, they were not to be trifled with by just anyone.

However, after talking with the counselor, her mom saw through the essence of the conflict with Mu Jiawen—put simply, she was used to having lackeys around, used to ordering people around. Coming here and failing to boss Mu Jiawen around for the first time, as one of only two girls in the class, who also didn’t follow her, she couldn’t stand it, thus opposing her at every turn.

“Not to mention anything else, if you want to compete with others, first compete with your grades!”

She hadn’t expected that the counselor would show her mother the grades of her regular assignments, causing her mother to be extremely disappointed, “Since you were young, you’ve never made your dad and me worry about your grades. I didn’t expect that after getting into university, you would become the bottom of the class. Xia Shi, I will call your counselor in two weeks’ time. If I find out you are still hovering around C’s and D’s, watch your allowance!”

It was that last sentence that made Xia Shi dare not do anything further. She was very quiet and extremely low-key in class during that period.

As long as she didn’t provoke her, Mu Jiawen wouldn’t even bother giving her a glance.

“How come you suddenly changed your surname?”

During the break, Xue Weisong tried holding back but couldn’t resist asking in the end.

“My mom wants me to take her surname.”

Mu Jiawen simply explained with that one sentence, unwilling to say more.

Boys in the back of the class passed this piece of gossip quietly to other classmates after hearing it. Everyone’s first reaction was that her parents had divorced, then they immediately stopped discussing it.

This sort of thing was not uncommon; there was nothing much to talk about.

….

Meanwhile, shortly after Jiang Yan and Mu Jiawen had left, Yu Heng received a phone call from Yu Zekun.

“What? He’s suing Yu Xin?”

Chen Yan set down the half-knitted sweater she was holding, picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and scoffed coldly, “Your dad has always been self-first. He was like that in the past and he is the same now. Acting this way towards Yu Xin is just for show, to us.”

Yu Heng furrowed his brow, “You told him in front of his face that you had caught the human trafficker, and he thought it was true. He wants to use this to sue Yu Xin for losing Xiaosi back then. He also wants Xiaosi to testify.”

Having Xiaosi appear in court was definitely impossible!

But suing Yu Xin…

She lost Xiaosi when she was only eight years old. Not to mention her tender age, the main issue was the lack of evidence.

“Have Dr. Ouyang testify.”

Yu Ci, who was upstairs sleeping off jet lag, wrapped in a robe and yawning, came down just in time, and seeing the two of them said, “Testimony from a psychologist can sometimes be very useful, it could also prove to the police that there is a reason for Xiaosi not appearing in court.”

“That’s how it is abroad, but in our country…”

This was a matter of criminal law, which they didn’t entirely understand.

“Never mind, I will call Lawyer Li, get Dr. Ouyang, and we’ll go over and see.”

Yu Zekun made quite a scene, and the police had already detained Yu Xin. The lawyer he had found was from the law firm they usually used.

On the way there, Yu Heng gave Deputy Chief Lin a call, and the latter stated pragmatically, “Fifteen years ago, the other party was only eight years old. Unless there’s irrefutable evidence, it would be difficult to sue.”

In the end, the outcome was as Deputy Chief Lin had predicted—Yu Xin was only detained on charges of trespassing.

The initial detention was set for a week, but by the third day, she had been bailed out.

Yu Xin thought her bail was arranged by Tan Min, since considering her current age and looks, she still had some value to capitalize on—she could fetch a good price. Mocking herself, she thought perhaps she could sell for a good amount.

But when she walked out of the police station, the person she saw was a stranger she had never seen before.
