Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 346 - 346 343 I Am Your Dad

Chapter 346: Chapter 343: I Am Your Dad Chapter 346: Chapter 343: I Am Your Dad Mu Jiawen could be somewhat obtuse when it came to emotions, especially those that didn’t pertain to her. If you didn’t spell it out for her, she couldn’t be bothered to speculate.

For instance, right now, she couldn’t grasp why the niece of Sixth Grandma always targeted Wei Yue’s mom, simply thinking this person had a wild imagination that ran wild.

She even complained about her second uncle being demeaned. Did her second uncle need someone to belittle him?

Wasn’t he just like that to begin with?

Jiang Yan poured her a cup of tea and pushed it over to her, signaling that the storytelling was about to start and there was no need for her to continue making things up.

She was tired of making things up anyway, and her narrative kept getting interrupted and changed, again and again, to the point where even Wei Yue’s search for his second uncle had been twisted into a conspiracy by this woman…what kind of person was this!

She didn’t want to deal with her anymore.

At that moment, the storyteller, dressed in a long robe, took the stage, and Mu Jiawen conveniently turned around, giving Sixth Grandma and her niece the back of her head.

After the performance was over, she had completely forgotten about those two, and was swiftly pulled out of the tea house by Jiang Yan, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

“Auntie…”

Sixth Grandma was elderly and preferred not to jostle with people. She waited for the teahouse to empty out before getting up to leave, but by then, Mu Jiawen was long gone.

Ling Shuangshuang spoke up unhappily, “How could that young lady leave without bidding you farewell? That’s so impolite.” And to speak that way about her own uncle, showing no respect inside or out.

Sixth Grandma glanced at her and snorted coldly, “She’s impolite? That child is more sensible than you.”

Ling Shuangshuang was stunned and looked at her, puzzled. “Why would you say that? She bad-mouthed her second uncle so much…”

“Is that what you think she was doing? When things like that happen between a man and a woman, if the blame isn’t on the man, should we push it onto the woman like you’re doing?”

Ling Shuangshuang fell silent.

Sixth Grandma sighed, “I know you like Axiao and wanted me to introduce him to you. Both of you have been divorced, and he’s eight years your senior—there’s no reason why you can’t give it a try. But that was before. Now that his son has come back looking for him, he probably doesn’t have the energy for this anymore. Let’s just forget about it.”

“How can we just forget it?” Ling Shuangshuang became anxious upon hearing this. “He’s still single, and I don’t mind his having a son. You should at least bring it up; maybe he’ll be willing.”

But Sixth Grandma had already made up her mind and waved her off decisively, “No, I won’t bring it up. It would be too awkward, just forget about it.”

“Auntie…”

…

“Are you going to greet your second uncle later?”

Mu Jiawen was surprised, “Greet him for what?”

The girl had already forgotten the story she had just made up.

Jiang Yan chuckled, “If someone asks about your second uncle or your cousin and it doesn’t match the story you told, wouldn’t that be a problem?”

Mu Jiawen tilted her head to think and couldn’t help but click her tongue, “My second uncle should thank me. I made up a story for him to deal with stuff he didn’t know how to handle. He can just take it and use it, saves him the trouble.”

As they were talking, they suddenly stopped because coming towards them were two individuals, one in a pink shirt and white trousers, and the other in a white shirt and blue jeans. They had extremely similar faces; at first glance, one might think they were twins, which drew the attention of surrounding tourists.

“Xiaosi!”

Yu Zexiao immediately saw Mu Jiawen like she was a lifesaver and hurriedly squeezed in front of Jiang Yan, placing his hand on her shoulder and pushing her in front of Wei Yue, speaking rapidly, “Hang out with your cousin for a bit. Your dad is still busy, and I need to go help.”

After letting go, he was about to walk away but was caught by Mu Jiawen, “Hold on, second uncle, I have to tell you something before you go.”

“What is it?”

“Just now in the tea house, I bumped into Sixth Grandma. She asked me how my cousin came about. I said he was born of your first love. Remember to say the same if anyone else asks, so we don’t give two different stories. Okay, you can go now.”

Alright, greetings were made.

Mu Jiawen let go of her hand, but Yu Zexiao stood there with his mouth open, stunned. It took him a while to process what his dear niece had said.

He had wanted to deny it, but the corner of his eye caught Wei Yue’s gaze coming over, and the words that had reached his mouth turned into a firm “Hmm”.

Still feeling uneasy, he couldn’t help but ask another question, “Did you tell your sixth grandma anything else?”

Mu Jiawen thought carefully, then finally shook her head, “No, that’s all.”

Yu Zexiao heaved a sigh of relief, turned to leave, but then heard his little niece behind him say, “However, the niece who was with your sixth grandma seems to have a problem. She seems to dislike your cousin, claiming he came back to recognize your relationship for your money, and told you to be careful not to let your cousin swindle you out of all your money.”

The niece of the sixth aunt?

That Ling Shuangshuang?

In the afternoon, she seemed to be infatuated when she saw him, and now telling Xiaosi all this, her intentions were clearly questionable.

Wei Yue let out a “Hah”, snorting in cold laughter from the side, Yu Zexiao’s eyelid twitched, and he quickly said, “I don’t know which Xiaosi is talking about, I don’t recognize her! You came back to recognize me, no need to bother with others.”

Wei Yue gave him a look and turned away.

Yu Zexiao hurriedly urged Mu Jiawen, “Hurry and follow your brother, he’s not familiar with this place, don’t get lost again.”

The three wandered around the ancient city center, visiting several unique sights, and Mu Jiawen gave him a brief introduction before taking him to see the statue of the old family ancestor at the city gate.

Having wandered around, Wei Yue had mixed feelings; he had never imagined he was a descendant of the thousands-year-old Yu Family that he had read about in history books.

By the time they finished touring and returned to the old mansion, the sky had already darkened.

There was a banquet at the old mansion that night because of the wedding festivities the next day.

When the three of them entered, Yu Zekun and his brother were talking with several elderly members of the Yu Family, including Mu Jiawen’s sixth grandma, with her niece standing behind her.

“Xiaoyue, come here.”

Seeing Wei Yue return, Yu Zexiao quickly called him over.

The remaining Yu Family members were of the older generation and needed to be introduced to Wei Yue one by one.

Mu Jiawen didn’t join them; she and Jiang Yan were tired and had decided not to eat at the banquet but to rest in their rooms instead.

Yu Zekun had originally wanted to call for her, but seeing her walk inside without turning back, not even glancing at him, he felt quite bitter inside.

This daughter, she truly did not plan to acknowledge him anymore.

…

After dinner, Yu Zexiao took Wei Yue and Lishen back to his courtyard.

On the way, Yu Zexiao said to Wei Yue, “Tomorrow you need to go with your big brother to bring back the bride. You can wear my clothes…”

Before he could finish, Wei Yue looked at him suspiciously and asked, “What color and style?”

“Of course, a white shirt and black pants, what did you think?”

“I thought you were going to give me those ridiculous clothes again.”

“What do you mean ridiculous? Kid, I am the most fashionable and have the best taste in clothes in the entire Yu Family.”

Wei Yue let out a “Hah”, snorting in cold laughter, “A green shirt with pink pants, that’s called having taste? That’s called fashionable? I’d advise you to borrow clothes from my uncle tomorrow. It would be better to avoid looking like a joke.”

Yu Zexiao’s eyes widened with anger, “You little brat, who are you calling a joke? I am your father!”

“Act like a father first, then we’ll talk.”

“Yu Yue…”

Lishen, who was walking behind the two, stared agape at the scene unfolding before him…
