Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 343 - 343 340 Disdain from the Son

Chapter 343: Chapter 340 Disdain from the Son Chapter 343: Chapter 340 Disdain from the Son “Axiao.”

As Yu Zexiao sat in the chair, lost in thought, and the living room fell into silence, Yu Zekun couldn’t help but speak up to remind him and gave him a meaningful glance, signaling him to ask Wei Yue about his real intentions for coming.

This child seemed to have no resistance toward Axiao and had followed Yu Ci to Jade City. Could it mean that he wanted to recognize his ancestry and return to his roots?

What a good thing this is!

“Uncle, Wei Yue is not planning to go back to Europe anymore, so you have to arrange a place for him to stay. Also, his future employment needs to be considered.”

No sooner had Yu Ci finished speaking than Yu Zekun chimed in, “A place to stay? Of course, he’ll stay with your uncle. Since he has decided not to leave, there’s no rush about the job. Let him settle in first and get familiar with the surroundings, then we can slowly plan later.”

After finishing his statement, Yu Zekun looked at Wei Yue with a smile and asked, “Since everyone is at the old house, do you want to change your surname back?”

Change his surname?

Wei Yue was stunned for a moment; the development of events seemed to be faster than he had anticipated. He had thought that a paternity test was necessary before confirming whether he was part of the Yu Family or not. But now, in just a short while, it seemed that no one doubted it; the way everyone looked at him clearly regarded him as Yu Zexiao’s biological son!

That must be the benefit of bearing a strong resemblance; there was simply no need to explain.

Hearing his brother talk about changing the surname, Yu Zexiao also looked at Wei Yue full of hope, his tone tinged with trepidation, “That… who gave you your name? Was it your mom? How about changing it to Yu Yue?”

Wei Yue glanced at him but remained silent.

It was all too sudden. He wasn’t sure how to respond, but deep down, there was a craving and restlessness because he really didn’t like the surname Wei.

At three years old, he had already begun to remember things. Whenever his mother was not at home, Wei Shixue, his foster father, looked at him with disgust and contempt.

He still remembered when he tried to get close and asked to be hugged: his foster father told him, “Get lost, stay out of my sight!”

If looks could kill, he would probably have died young.

The disgust Wei Shixue felt towards him was almost bone-deep. He surely wouldn’t have wanted Wei Yue to carry his surname, and Wei Yue, of course, didn’t wish to bear it either.

But when Wei Yue didn’t speak, Yu Zexiao thought he was unwilling, so he quickly backtracked, “If you don’t want to change it, that’s okay too…”

“Why wouldn’t he want to change it? He’s come to the old house, so he obviously should recognize his ancestors and change his surname. Let’s call him Yu Yue, shall we, cousin?”

Yu Ci emphasized the last word ‘cousin’ heavily, benefiting from Lishen’s big mouth who had been blabbering non-stop along the way, mostly about how the Wei Family treated Wei Yue as nothing more than a cash cow without a trace of warmth. The Wei Family like that, where was there any reason for him to feel attached?

Moreover, he had already decided not to leave, so it was naturally better to change his surname.

Wei Yue glanced at Yu Ci and gave a slight nod, appearing calm on the exterior but clenching his fists tightly, his heart pounding with excitement.

“Alright, I’ll go now to find Third Uncle and the others, to get Xiaoyue’s name added to the family tree first.”

Yu Zekun was quite pleased. His brother finally had his own offspring; he hoped that for the sake of his son, his erratic temperament could change for the better.

“Axiao, go tidy up Xiaoyue’s room and take good care of your son.”

Having said this, Yu Zekun hurriedly left.

Yu Zexiao, once again stunned by the words “your son,” looked dazed, feeling quite surreal.

Yu Heng and Yu Feng greeted Wei Yue and left too. Yu Ci followed them closely, leaving father and son alone in the living room at last.

Looking at the suddenly present eldest son, Yu Zexiao coughed uneasily, “So, Xiaoyue, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?”

He stood up and pointed to the largest master bedroom on the east side, “That’s my bedroom; it has a bathroom which is convenient for taking a shower. If you don’t mind, you can stay there for now. I can move to the adjacent guest room.”

“Oh right, there’s also your friend who came with you, his room is here too…”

“Don’t you ask about my mom?”

Wei Yue looked up at him. In fact, he had not slept well for several days on the way here, and now that the situation had been confirmed, the major issue that had been hanging over his head was settled, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thus, he was physically and mentally exhausted and really wanted to take a shower and sleep.

But when he thought of his mother, who was in Europe planning to divorce, his heart felt both helpless and sad.

It was only last month that he learned that Mo Wanyi had been planning to divorce for many years, but Wei Shixue disagreed and even used him and his great-grandfather to threaten his mom.

His great-grandfather, his maternal grandfather’s father, was still alive and 99 years old. The old man valued reputation and family tradition all his life. If he knew that Mo Wanyi had become pregnant before marriage, and that the child was not Wei Shixue’s… Mo Wanyi dared not take the risk of what might happen.

And Wei Shixue’s reluctance to divorce was not because he was deeply in love with Mo Wanyi, but because the Wei Family still needed the support of the Mo Family. He hadn’t taken enough advantage of the Mo Family, so how could he let go so easily?

Yu Zexiao was silent for a moment, then said directly, “Xiaoyue, to be honest, the appearance of you alone has already left me at my wits’ end, your mom… From your returning to see me and agreeing to change your surname, I can imagine that you and your mom had not had a good time at the Wei Family. But, has she divorced? If not, wouldn’t it be very awkward for me to ask?”

After saying that, he sighed, “Considering you came back to find me, her situation over there must be worse, right?”

Wei Yue lowered his head, “She wants to divorce, but Wei Shixue has always disagreed and even threatens her with my great-grandfather.”

After saying that, Wei Yue immediately regretted it. He had long known that his biological father was irresponsible and only knew how to indulge in pleasures, so what was the use of telling him all this?

Wei Yue felt somewhat irritated. He got up and ran his fingers through his hair, saying, “I want to take a shower.”

“Go to my bedroom. Did you bring pajamas?”

“No.”

“I have new ones in my closet. Take whatever you need…”

Yu Zexiao led him to his own bedroom, indicated where everything was, and then placed washed but never worn underwear and pajamas at the door. He also poured a cup of warm water for him and put it on the cabinet outside the bathroom. Then, after giving him a look, he turned and left, closing the door behind him.

Even though they were small gestures, Wei Yue’s agitated heart gradually calmed down, and something seemed to slowly flow through the bottom of his heart.

This biological father of his seemed to be slightly better than he had expected.

Wei Yue thought, it seemed that his decision to come back was the right one.

But before taking a shower, he still took out his phone to power it up, intending to call his mom first…

On the other hand, Yu Zexiao left his yard and headed straight for the clothing district at the center of Jade City.

He had noticed earlier that the young man had probably left in a hurry, carrying a small suitcase that, aside from a laptop and some assorted electronics, didn’t contain a single piece of clothing. As a father, he had to prepare something for him, right?

However, when he gleefully laid out the clothes he bought in front of Wei Yue, they were met with nothing but disdain, “What did you buy? If it’s not floral, it’s green; are these even clothes meant for a person to wear?”

Yu Zexiao: …

Are you implying that your father isn’t a person?
