Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 350 - 350 347 Avoided Future Trouble

Chapter 350: Chapter 347: Avoided Future Trouble Chapter 350: Chapter 347: Avoided Future Trouble The wedding day concluded, and guests gradually left. By five in the afternoon, essentially only the Yu Family remained in the old house.

People like the sixth grandmother and her group were mostly planning to leave tomorrow. They were now chatting warmly in small groups in the guest lounge of the front courtyard.

Ling Shuangshuang entered with a fierce momentum, quieting the guest lounge in an instant as everyone turned their heads, puzzled, watching her.

There were too many people, and no one noticed she hadn’t eaten with the Yu Family at noon.

“Shuangshuang!”

The sixth grandmother’s voice was heavy, tinged with a warning.

She had watched this child grow up, lively and cheerful with a straightforward personality, but after a few years of marriage without seeing her, her temperament and character had drastically changed. Moreover, she lacked tact—on such a joyous occasion, what did she intend to do, storming in like this?

“Auntie, that girl…”

Ling Shuangshuang scanned the room for Mu Jiawen, ready to complain to her aunt about her but unexpectedly she saw Mu Chenyan sitting next to the sixth grandmother.

She immediately approached with big strides, somewhat reining in her emotions, and then said, “Elder sister, I just came from the hospital. Do you know what your daughter has done?”

Hearing the tone of her speech, Mu Chenyan looked up with displeasure and asked coldly, “What did she do?”

“She asked me to open a Coke for her, but she tampered with that bottle and caused it to spray all over me. It would’ve been fine if it was just Coke, but she definitely added something to it, or else I wouldn’t be itching.”

Ling Shuangshuang was a pediatrician with no history of allergies, so after her hospital examination, she could almost deduce why her skin itched upon contact with the Coke.

“You’re saying Xiaosi added something to the Coke—do you have evidence?”

Stunned by Mu Chenyan’s response, Ling Shuangshuang paused. Shouldn’t normal parents call over their child to ask about the issue and then reprimand them for guidance?

Why was this different from what she expected?

“That bottle of Coke is the evidence.”

“Where is the Coke? Did you get it tested?”

How could that be possible?

Let alone find the Coke right now, even if she had, there was no way it could have been tested and the results obtained so quickly in the ancient city.

Mu Chenyan was clearly being protective!

Ling Shuangshuang complained discontentedly, “Elder sister, you’re spoiling your child by being so indulgent.”

“Then there’s no need for you to worry. How I spoil my daughter is my business.”

Mu Chenyan looked coldly at Ling Shuangshuang and said, “Yet why are you falsely accusing her without cause? Xiaosi didn’t even know you before, and on your first encounter, you say she added something to the Coke and spilled it on you. Ling Shuangshuang, do you think your claim holds water? Or did your body have some issue, but because you had done something to her before, you’re attributing your problem to her, right?”

“What have you done to her?”

The entire guest lounge fell silent. As the only daughter of the main branch of the Yu Family, everyone knew of Mu Chenyan’s intense affection for her long-lost and now reclaimed child, but they’d only heard about it and hadn’t seen it firsthand.

Now, because of Ling Shuangshuang, they could clearly see how protective Mu Chenyan was over her daughter. This caused a few old people who were itching to meddle with Mu Jiawen’s marriage to immediately dismiss the thought and decide not to bring it up again.

It’s no joke, times have changed. Mu Chenyan has divorced Yu Zekun and is no longer bound by the Yu Family’s traditions. Her reputation and achievements far exceed those of the other members of the Yu Family. Not to mention whether she may be asked for help in the future, just from her current attitude, when it comes to her precious daughter, she didn’t give face to anyone at all.

Just like with Ling Shuangshuang, once you saw the awkward expression on Sixth Grandma’s face, everything was clear.

If she had cared about Sixth Grandma’s reputation, she wouldn’t have treated Ling Shuangshuang that way in public.

However, everyone was indeed very curious. Xiaosi, that child who doesn’t talk much and seems so quiet, what exactly had Ling Shuangshuang done to provoke her into splashing cola on her?

As for adding something to the cola, most people didn’t believe it.

Xiaosi was busy today following her mom around, where would she even find something to mix into the cola?

Mix Sprite into it? Now that’s possible.

“Enough, blaming Xiaosi for your own skin allergy, how immature of you to bicker like a child. Since you’re not feeling well, you should go back and rest. Xiaoqiu, escort your aunt back to her room.”

After Sixth Grandma spoke, a young girl quickly came over and dragged Ling Shuangshuang away.

A grown-up in her thirties or forties causing such a scene, how embarrassing!

Ling Shuangshuang didn’t struggle because she realized that Mu Chenyan was different from other parents. Even if she had concrete evidence, she wouldn’t have gained any advantage today.

Leaving the old house, Ling Shuangshuang looked up and saw Yu Yue talking with a young man on a bench by the river.

Her simmering anger surged up again as she shook off Xiaoqiu and strode up to Yu Yue, pointing at his nose and berating him, “Is it you? It must be you who said something to Xiaosi, which is why she used the cola to scheme against me, right?”

Yu Yue was actually happy not having to see her annoying face all afternoon, but to his dismay, she was back so soon.

“You seem quite normal now; has the itch stopped?”

Ling Shuangshuang was taken aback at first, then her fury escalated, “It’s you, it was you…”

“What about me? You should feel lucky to only feel itchy for a bit.”

Yu Yue couldn’t be bothered to talk more with her, so he got up and walked toward the old house with Lishen.

Ling Shuangshuang trembled with rage but was held back by Xiaoqiu.

“Enough, Aunt. Today is my elder brother’s big day; can you please stop making a scene?”

Xiaoqiu had been at the teahouse earlier as well and heard how her aunt had badmouthed this cousin and his mother, yet Xiaoqiu had been smitten the moment she saw her young uncle.

The man was his own parents’ son, yet she started to bother him for no reason… Could her brain possibly be abnormal?

So shameful, causing both her and her grandmother to lose face.

Xiaoqiu didn’t let go of her but dragged her away.

On the other hand, Mu Chenyan didn’t take her seriously at all but did give everyone present a warning: Do not mess with Xiaosi at her place!

No matter what impression this gave to everyone, in the following years, it helped avoid a lot of trouble for Mu Jiawen, to the point that even Yu Zekun didn’t dare to casually inquire about his daughter’s marriage. He just made a request when she left: He had to be informed and involved in the children’s major life events, even if he didn’t give his opinion.

As for Yu Yue, thanks to Ling Shuangshuang’s big mouth, many learned that same evening that he was the mastermind behind the cola incident.

Some people found it amusing after hearing about it. How old was this child to still do such childish things? Did he not want his father to remarry, or was it because he thought his mother would come back to reconcile with Yu Zexiao?
