Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 288 - 288 285 Snatch the Computer

Chapter 288: Chapter 285: Snatch the Computer Chapter 288: Chapter 285: Snatch the Computer Because of Mu Jiawen’s words, Yao Yeqiang fainted again.

The doctor squatting beside him hurriedly called for help to lift him into the ambulance, while checking on him he glanced at Mu Jiawen and said, “The patient is showing signs of cerebral hemorrhage, and his blood pressure is rapidly rising, don’t anger him anymore…”

There was no need to explain to a doctor.

Mu Chenyan turned to the two police officers and said, “You’ve seen it yourself, my daughter was just explaining things to him, to save her from future trouble. But if he has a stroke, it’s not our fault; we didn’t say anything provocative, it’s not so easy to feign injury for compensation.”

The two police officers were also speechless. They saw a clear disconnect, with a man insisting on recognizing his granddaughter where there was no relation. It seemed that the old man either had mental issues or was senile.

The driver followed onto the ambulance, and the police officers no longer intervened.

Mu Jiawen thanked the two older schoolmates.

As the crowd dispersed, the three returned to Qinghe Garden.

“Xiaosi, who is this old man?”

Mu Jiawen sneered, “A despicable person, Xie Jingying’s biological father.”

Jiang Yan looked at her in shock. He had heard her say that Xie Jingying wasn’t Jingying’s biological grandfather, but he never expected this man not to look for Jingying but to come to Beijing to find her!

Although he didn’t remember her grandfather, Mu Jiawen respected him greatly, and the elderly man was also her mentor in Chinese painting and calligraphy.

After saying this, Mu Jiawen pursed her lips tightly, clearly not wanting to talk about it anymore.

Even facing her mother and Jiang Yan, she didn’t wish to repeat her grandmother’s past troubles.

Meanwhile, the driver followed the ambulance to the hospital, where Yao Yeqiang was rushed into the emergency room. Unfortunately, his cerebral blood vessels had already ruptured on the way, and a stroke had developed, the situation was severe.

At the moment, it was an issue whether he would wake up or not.

When the driver heard the doctor say this, his first reaction was, what about his salary?

If Yao Yeqiang died, who would pay him?

His second thought was about the medical bills. Yes, he had paid for the emergency treatment, but this expense shouldn’t be his responsibility.

But with Yao Yeqiang still in a coma, who could reimburse him?

Although Yao Yeqiang was in his seventies, he was very strict with money. Other than the agreed salary, he would never give the driver an extra tip, yet he expected him to run various errands.

That’s how people are, reciprocity is expected. If you’re heartless towards me, how could I possibly be righteous towards you?

The driver immediately began to think of who in Yao Yeqiang’s family could repay him the money.

In the driver’s mind, Yao Yeqiang was indeed unfortunate – he was still alive while his children and grandchildren had all passed away. But on the bright side, his eldest son had left a sizeable inheritance after his death. Since the daughter-in-law and grandson were both gone, all the inheritance had fallen into his hands.

Having money, that’s why he thought of finding descendants.

But he certainly never imagined that searching for his descendants would lead to this situation.

After searching around, the driver finally remembered that Yao Yeqiang’s phone seemed to have the contact of his cousin.

He immediately took out Yao Yeqiang’s phone, unlocked it, and started looking for the contact inside.

After making many calls, he finally reached his cousin.

On Saturday afternoon, Jiang Yan was at the electronics factory evaluating several newly imported components when he suddenly got a call from Ma Zheng.

Probably because of Shu Wan and Ma Jiandong’s reminders, the kid had only called him the day he returned to Yunzhou and hadn’t called since.

Text messages, however, would pop up now and then, often quite verbose, as if he was eager to tell him every little detail about his day.

“Brother–”

The voice that came through was tinged with a sob, which made Jiang Yan arch an eyebrow, “What happened?”

“Cousin is taking my computer…”

“Oh, this child, your cousin just wants to borrow your computer for a bit, how has it become ‘taking’ it? Shu Wan, you talk sense into him…”

A strange woman’s voice started to speak, but Shu Wan’s voice didn’t follow. Instead, Ma Zheng continued in a choked tone, “It’s only borrowing if I agree, if I don’t, it’s stealing… Brother, he’s holding the computer and won’t give it back to me, he even said he wants to take it home to play.”

Ma Zheng was very clear on the difference between borrowing and stealing.

“What’s wrong with me playing with it for a few days? Stingy!”

These words were spoken with utter self-assurance!

Jiang Yan squinted and instructed Ma Zheng, “Turn on speakerphone.”

“It is on.”

“Ma Zheng, listen well, if you keep crying, next time I come back I’m really going to hit you. If someone takes your things, you take them back.”

Ma Zheng glanced at his cousin who was half a head taller and much heavier than him. He was about to say he couldn’t snatch it back when he heard his brother say, “If he’s bigger and you can’t take it back, then you pick up a weapon and give it your all. In your own house, are you going to let others bully you? Don’t worry about breaking things, at worst we can pay for damages, your brother has money.”

After he finished speaking, silence fell on the other end of the line, the previously whispering voices now completely silent.

Jiang Yan was certain that Ma Zheng was cherishing the computer he had given him and wouldn’t easily take it out, so Jiang Yan was sure that the situation was happening at home.

“What you said just now is correct, if you don’t agree to lend it, then it’s stealing, and it serves him right to get beaten for stealing!”

Tears still on his cheeks, phone in hand on speakerphone, Ma Zheng looked around as if he was truly considering using a weapon, as his brother had suggested.

The aunt on the other side quickly snatched the computer from her son’s arms, “Give it here, give it back to him quickly…”

However, Ma Zheng’s chubby cousin still clutched the computer tightly, not believing a word Jiang Yan had said, and still demanded, “I won’t, I just won’t give it back… Didn’t you just say I could take it home to play with? Why are you siding with him now?”

Ma Zheng’s aunt’s face stiffened as she forced a smile at Shu Wan, “I just said it offhand, I didn’t think he would take it seriously. Oh, it’s my fault, I always thought Xiaozheng was very generous.”

Her words implied that if Ma Zheng didn’t lend the computer today, then he would be considered ungenerous and petty.

Shu Wan’s face was expressionless, lips tightly pursed, still not uttering a sound. She pretended not to notice even when Ma Jiandong looked at her.

Ma Zheng’s aunt, having her hopes dashed, clenched her teeth and once again tried to take the computer from her son, her voice laden with sarcasm, “It’s not yours, why are you holding onto it? Let go and give it back, this was a gift from his own brother, you as a cousin can’t compare. Let go!”

“That’s right, the computer is a gift from me, his own brother, and you can’t touch it without his permission! Kid, listen well, if you bully Ma Zheng again, I’ll come back and break your legs!”

Although the voice wasn’t loud, its cold tone broadcasting from the speaker gave a sense of ruthlessness.

Frightened by the tone, the chubby cousin shuddered, and his grip on the computer loosened, his mother swiftly taking it and placing it with a smack onto the table.

Turning to face Shu Wan with a forced smile, she remarked sarcastically, “Shu Wan, your eldest son is quite formidable, isn’t he, planning to break our legs?”
