Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 307 - 307 304 Thanos

Chapter 307: Chapter 304: Thanos Chapter 307: Chapter 304: Thanos After getting into the car, Jing Junyang’s complexion returned to normal, as if nothing had just happened. He continued to discuss the renovation of the internet café with Jiang Yan.

In the end, he said, “Once the computer specialty store officially opens, will your repair shop have to close?”

Jing Junyang meant that once the specialty store opened, the second brother would have to come over. With him here, they would also feel at ease.

But if the second brother came over, they wouldn’t be able to manage the repair shop.

Jiang Yan pondered for a while and said, “I’ll discuss it with the second brother when we get back.”

To be honest, the profit from second-hand computers wasn’t small, and the shop had been open for nearly a year. Although it was in a residential area, their street and the surrounding area were well aware of the second-hand computer repair shop. It would be quite a pity to close it all of a sudden.

Jing Junyang wasn’t in a hurry after hearing this. After all, the storefront wasn’t finished yet. There was time to think it over slowly.

Afterward, the two of them talked about the new game they were developing. Throughout the conversation, Jiang Yan never asked who the three people they had just encountered were or what their relationship was with him.

Jing Junyang let out a sigh of relief and turned to look out of the window.

In fact, if Jiang Yan had asked, there was nothing he couldn’t talk about.

It was nothing more than the disgraceful and revolting matter of his biological father keeping a mistress outside and even having a pair of illegitimate children. When his mother discovered it three years ago, the illegitimate children were already sixteen and fifteen years old.

And he himself was only nineteen years old three years ago, which meant that his father had other women shortly after marrying his mother, or perhaps even before that.

His mother was stubborn. The day she found out, she hit his father on the head with a wine bottle, causing a huge scene.

The Jing Family was a wealthy clan, and the famous Jing Corporation in Beijing was founded by his grandfather. However, his maternal grandfather was also no ordinary person; the two families were well-matched in social status and influence.

Even though his paternal grandfather was still alive and his maternal grandfather had passed away, his uncles were looking out for his mother. They didn’t care about saving face and collected evidence with a lawyer the moment trouble arose. They took his father to court—suing him for bigamy!

With the scandal breaking out in such a fashion, his grandfather even asked his mother to let those two kids come back to the Jing Family and to have his father cut off ties with that woman.

After years of reverence for the old man, to hear him say such words completely disheartened her. She barefacedly took the matter to court and eventually walked away with half of the Jing Family’s wealth.

Jing Junyang was already eighteen years old and it wasn’t about whom to follow, but he clearly expressed his desire to go with his mother. He also demanded that his father return ten percent of Jing Corporation’s shares to him. Those shares were allocated in his name by his grandfather when he turned eighteen but had been under his father’s control up until then.

As the eldest grandson of the Jing Family, his grandfather certainly did not agree to let him go.

Jing Junyang had a great relationship with his mother. He told his grandfather that he could stay, but only if his father made a will stating that all of Jing Corporation and the Jing Family’s assets belonged to him and that those two bastards wouldn’t step a foot into the Jing Family’s domain.

After all, he had spent more time living with his grandfather, and they had emotional ties. Moreover, before finding out about the illegitimate children, he had been the only son of the Jing Family. It was actually his grandfather’s plan all along.

So, to keep him, his grandfather agreed.

How cunning the old man of Jing was! His daughter-in-law had taken half of his son’s wealth, but she only had Jing Junyang as a son. In the end, wasn’t it still going to be left to him?

So, keeping his grandson meant essentially keeping that half of the wealth as well.

Unfortunately, Jing Junyang’s worthless father disagreed.

After falling out with his father, Jing Junyang left the Jing Family with his mother, but before leaving, he told his grandfather and his useless father that if his father dared to marry that woman, he would immediately change his surname to his mother’s.

Try it and see!

His worthless father might not care, but his grandfather did. Another grandchild didn’t matter, but Jing Junyang was his only eldest son’s legitimate grandson. He wasn’t someone those illegitimate children outside could easily replace.

Thus, until now, that woman remains just a mistress, without any official status.

Jing Junyang did this purely to vent his mother’s anger.

Like playing the lover, don’t you? Play it then, be a lifelong mistress. Even if your child is sent abroad, wears silks and satins, and receives a good education, they will always bear the stigma of being a bastard.

As for Jing Corporation, he started his own business even before graduation, doing everything in preparation for swallowing up the Jing Corporation.

…

Jiang Yan guessed that Jing Junyang’s family background was definitely not ordinary; otherwise, how could a guy in his early twenties have so much money?

But he could never have imagined that this guy was a genuine scion of the wealthy Jing Family because the dude was way too down-to-earth. He could roll up his pants and squat on the curb to smoke, go with him to eat mutton noodles that cost five yuan a bowl, wear a second-hand jacket from a street stall, and use very ordinary things, not many brand names.

It wasn’t until they started a company together that this guy insisted on buying instead of renting when looking for a store space!

That was when Jiang Yan realized this guy was definitely a trust fund baby!

“Jiang Yan, what does your dad do?”

About ten minutes of silence in the car passed, and Jing Junyang felt a bit stifled, so he tried to make some conversation.

Actually, he just wanted to ask if Jiang Yan’s familiarity with computers came from his dad, but he didn’t expect the answer to be,

“Him? He’s punching a sewing machine.”

“What?” Jing Junyang didn’t understand what he meant and asked in surprise, “A tailor?”

Jiang Yan chuckled sardonically, “He made some mistakes and got locked up.”

Jing Junyang understood, and said regretfully, “If only my dad could get locked up as well.”

Jiang Yan: …

I really want to give him a thumbs-up. Might as well stop calling him Jing Junyang; he should change his name to Jing Mieba!

Back at Beijing University, they parked the car at the gate and walked in.

It was noon, and the April sun was just right, the spring atmosphere thick. Many Beijing University students were gathered in twos and threes on the benches by the lake or in the pavilions, reading books or dating.

As they passed a shady path, Jiang Yan had already walked past it but suddenly stopped and took two steps back, peering towards the end of the path before calling out, “Old Jing, come here.”

“What’s up?” Jing Junyang, puzzled, came over and looked in the direction Jiang Yan was looking. He let out a sigh, “That’s a quick move on finding a new partner… Let’s go, nothing worth seeing here.”

At the end of the shady path, there were two rows of benches, where a boy and a girl sat close together on the second row, their heads touching, whispering to each other.

He didn’t recognize the boy, but the girl had just eaten at the same table as Jiang Yan last week; she was the freshman from the foreign language department whom Jing Junyang had picked up at the start of the previous year.

But Jing Junyang had officially broken up with her three days ago.

The girl was somewhat vain, often insinuating, whether openly or in secret, for Jing Junyang to buy her things. Since they weren’t expensive, Jing Junyang didn’t mind.

Spending money on his girlfriend, that’s as it should be, isn’t it?

But her enjoying his money while flirting with other guys? Who the hell could tolerate that?

Jing Junyang might talk big, but he was actually serious when it came to relationships, especially after experiencing what happened with his dad. He was even less willing to engage in two-timing, as that would get him a thorough beating from his mom if she found out.
