Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 340 - 340 337 Who is he

Chapter 340: Chapter 337 Who is he? Chapter 340: Chapter 337 Who is he? Ten minutes later, three people were seated on the sofa in the Mu Family’s living room.

Mu Jiawen came out of the kitchen with an ice pack in her hand. She walked to the single-seater sofa beside her and bent down to apply the ice pack to her third brother’s left cheek.

Yu Ci looked triumphantly at the person sitting on the adjacent sofa and raised an eyebrow.

“Hey, that, little sister, this guy is also your brother. You can’t play favorites like this.” And Wei Yue’s face looks even worse.

The speaker was the man who had been buzzing outside earlier. Luckily, he hadn’t said too much while following them back home. Now, seeing Mu Jiawen only applying the ice pack to Yu Ci’s face, he couldn’t hold back and spoke up.

The “your brother” he referred to was the young man who had just fought with Yu Ci, named Wei Yue.

Mu Jiawen turned her head to look at him, her eyes filled with confusion, then she whispered to her third brother, “Is he your dad’s illegitimate child?”

Just by appearance, the guy who had taken a racket hit indeed resembled her third brother. To be precise, he looked somewhat like all of her siblings, which was why she suspected he might be Yu Zekun’s illegitimate child.

Yu Ci couldn’t help but hiss, not from pain but purely out of shock from what his own sister had said.

He tapped Mu Jiawen on the forehead and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Dad may be unreliable, but he’s not that sort of person.”

Indeed, Yu Zekun, though selfish, also hated trouble. One woman was trouble enough for him; he wouldn’t stuff himself and then go looking for trouble with mistresses.

The two men across reacted with relief upon hearing Yu Ci say “our dad,” because Mu Jiawen’s remark about “your dad” had led them to think this girl and Yu Ci didn’t share the same father.

But this face was clearly that of a Yu Family member.

So what exactly is going on here? They don’t want to acknowledge their real father?

Mu Jiawen cast a casual glance at the young man sitting on the sofa, whose right cheek was bruised purple from Yu Ci’s punches. The man looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. Even in such a disheveled state, his features were handsome and his eyes deep. Looking at him was like … huh?

Seeing Xiaosi’s reaction, Yu Ci glanced at the man and said, “Do you see the resemblance now?”

If this jerk didn’t look almost like a clone of his second uncle, would he have let him follow them here?

He followed them regardless and even got acquainted with every Yu Family member along the way. Damn it, if that’s the case, why bother coming back to find him at all?

Mu Jiawen shook her head resolutely. “No, I haven’t noticed anything, don’t recognize him.”

Three brothers are already too many. She definitely didn’t want another one—how annoying!

“What do you mean you haven’t noticed anything, don’t recognize him? Girl, this is your cousin!”

Mu Jiawen looked unimpressed at the person who spoke, and removed the towel-wrapped ice pack to check her third brother’s face. Thankfully, it was not very noticeable anymore.

She urged him, “Hurry back to your room and change. Once Jiang Yan gets back, we’ll leave.”

Yu Ci stood up and asked, “Has second uncle already gone to Jade City?”

“He has.”

Their flashy second uncle probably felt guilty towards Mu Jiawen. When she went back with them for the ancestral ritual during the New Year, he gifted her a small apartment.

Of course, it wasn’t the one he had bought for Yu Xin before; he had bought a new one in Jade City to give to her.

Although a little eccentric, she would occasionally buy things to give to Mu Chenyan, the former sister-in-law, and to her as well.

In short, she was indifferent toward Yu Zexiao, this second uncle of hers—she neither liked nor disliked him.

After pondering for a moment, Yu Ci asked Xiaosi, “Can they come with us?”

Mu Jiawen looked at him without saying a word. Was this something she could decide? Did she even want to bother?

Coming here to acknowledge kin, does the second uncle even know?

Once Yu Ci went upstairs, Mu Jiawen ignored the two men, packed the fruits she had washed earlier into bags to eat on the road, and put them in the car.

“Hey, girl, he really is your brother, named Wei Yue. He sincerely came here looking for family. You can’t reject him like this. The Wei Family …”

“Li Shen!”

Wei Yue interrupted Li Shen, giving him a glance before turning to Mu Jiawen. After thinking for a moment, he said, “I’d like to go to Jade City with you, is that okay?”

Mu Jiawen replied bluntly, “If you want to go, just go. It’s not my family’s territory there anymore, I can’t forbid you, can I? But let’s get one thing clear: my elder brother is getting married tomorrow, and you can’t cause trouble. If you want to find your biological father, do it tonight. Whether you end up crying out of excitement or shouting in anger, get it over with tonight, and don’t affect my elder brother’s wedding tomorrow.”

Hearing Mu Jiawen’s words, Wei Yue’s lips twitched, feeling a bittersweet envy for her elder brother!

At that moment, the front door clicked open, and Jiang Yan walked in, about to ask Mu Jiawen if Yu Ci had returned when he caught sight of the two unfamiliar men sitting on the sofa.

He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Mu Jiawen with confusion. She summed it up concisely, “Brought back by our Third Brother, they’re going to Jade City with us.”

After she spoke, she pointed to two travel bags on the table. When Jiang Yan went to move them, she picked up two large bags beside her—one with fruit and the other with snacks, all for consumption in the car.

Wei Yue and Li Shen each had a travel case, but they didn’t follow Jiang Yan and Mu Jiawen outside immediately. Instead, they waited for Yu Ci to come down before leaving together.

Li Shen couldn’t help but grumble, “Yu Ci, your sister is too indifferent toward Wei Yue. He really had a tough time before. You should be nicer to him.”

Yu Ci frowned, glancing at Li Shen and said indifferently, “His ‘hardships’ weren’t caused by us. You don’t have the right to tell us what we should do. If anything, you should speak to his mother. Why didn’t she reveal the truth to Wei Yue sooner? Also, don’t talk about my sister, or I won’t be polite.”

Li Shen was left speechless, unable to retort.

Wei Yue looked ahead expressionlessly, his deep eyes revealing no emotion.

He recalled how last month, if it hadn’t been for the chance encounter with Yu Ci at the seminar, his mother wouldn’t have told him the truth.

He had long suspected that he wasn’t actually part of the Wei Family, but never had the courage to investigate the truth. It wasn’t until he met Yu Ci, who bore a resemblance to him, that his last illusions about the Wei Family were shattered.

Although two unrelated people could coincidentally look alike, their faces were too distinctive. Plus, with his mother present at the scene, witnessing Yu Ci and hearing his name had made her panic, confirming his suspicions.

Over twenty years ago at a chaotic banquet, something mysterious in a glass of wine led to a one-night stand between his mother and Yu Zexiao.

Waking up and leaving in a flurry, his mother hadn’t expected that one night would result in him. Initially wanting to have an abortion because she was already engaged to the Wei Family, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to lie on the operating table. Instead, she signed an agreement of convenience with her fiancé.

So, he had always wondered why, despite knowing his father had mistresses and even illegitimate children, his mother never got angry. She was even indifferent when bringing home the illegitimate children.

So, the truth was that he was a bastard…
