Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 368 - 368 363 The Truth

Chapter 368: Chapter 363: The Truth Chapter 368: Chapter 363: The Truth Back at Yu Zexiao’s spacious flat, Mo Wanyi didn’t expect he would actually set up a bedroom for her.

She liked the brown bed with a soft backrest, which was almost identical to the one she had at home. Of course, she didn’t think it was Yu Zexiao who chose it, but the fact that her son had picked it out and he had agreed to buy and bring it home was already beyond her expectations.

On the nightstand, there was a vase full of baby’s breath.

Mo Wanyi looked at the vase of baby’s breath with a complicated look in her eyes but, overall, she was very satisfied with the bedroom.

Her son’s bedroom showed even more thought and care in the setup by Yu Zexiao. He must have known that his son liked to read, so he built such a large bookshelf for him and bought so many types of books. Seeing that each one looked brand new, it was clear they were recently purchased.

The bed was placed against the wall, which was also a layout Xiaoyue liked.

Mo Wanyi let out a sigh of relief and decided to forgive his earlier reckless words at the airport.

It seemed that this guy had matured with age, no longer as unreliable as he was when younger. It was just that face, too infuriating, how does it not show signs of aging?

She turned around to thank Yu Zexiao.

Yu Zexiao waved his hand nonchalantly, “All the stuff was chosen by Xiaoyue, I just provided the money, didn’t do anything else.”

Yu Yue was sorting out documents in the living room at the moment; his residency would be moved over to Yu Zexiao’s after tomorrow. As he looked at his passport still bearing the name Wei Yue, his eyes were calm.

When his mother came out of his room, he turned to ask, “Have you finished all the divorce procedures with him?”

Mo Wanyi nodded, “Yes, it’s all done.”

“Did he make it difficult for you?”

After asking, a scornful smile appeared on Yu Yue’s lips, “I should ask what he used this time to threaten you. Since the great-grandfather has gone to Australia, he should find no one to turn to, and grandpa and my uncles have already known that I returned to the country to find my real dad. That couldn’t be a threat, so what else? Reputation? Spreading rumors that you cuckolded him, claiming that I am not his son, right?”

Mo Wanyi, seeing her son had thought of everything, remained silent.

The reality was indeed as Yu Yue had guessed. Because he hated that she had left him, forcing the project, which received significant funding and manpower, to halt, he wanted to use Mo Wanyi to make Yu Yue return.

In the end, it didn’t work out; she, in turn, used evidence of his mistress and illegitimate child to file for divorce. Faced with the threat of a twenty-year sham marriage falling apart, Wei Shixue began to spread rumors that Mo Wanyi was promiscuous, that she had been pregnant with someone else’s child before they married, making him a fool for over twenty years.

Back then, their fake marriage was only an oral agreement, nothing was put down in black and white, so he was convinced that Mo Wanyi had no way to hold him accountable.

Indeed, by spreading these claims, he managed to garner sympathy from some people regarding his mistress and illegitimate child. On the other hand, Mo Wanyi was subject to gossip and judgment.

“Stay here when everything’s settled; don’t go back,” he said.

Yu Yue intended to stay in the country and naturally didn’t want his mother to go back alone.

Yu Zexiao next to him nodded in agreement, “Exactly, Xiaoyue has come back, what’s the point of you going back alone? Don’t leave. Once everything’s settled, I’ll take you out to enjoy the local attractions. The domestic development isn’t inferior to overseas anymore; in fact, some entertainment venues offer even better service than those abroad. For instance, Tangshan Hot Spring, you could soak there for a full day without getting tired of it.”

Soak for a full day without getting bored, can your skin really handle that much soaking?

Yu Yue was about to warn him not to take his mom to the hot spring, but then he heard him say, “Oh, and there’s a medicinal herb pool inside. Soaking in that is good for the body.”

Yu Yue shut his mouth, deciding to let it be.

Soon, the three of them left to dine at Dexin Building, the most famous restaurant in the downtown area.

Not to mention Mo Wanyi had given him a son, even without that, as an old classmate, he should show the hospitality of a host. Thus, Yu Zexiao had reserved a private room there well in advance.

After their meal, as the three of them were chatting and walking towards the entrance of the restaurant, they suddenly heard someone calling out to Mo Wanyi. The voice was very familiar to Yu Zexiao, filled with both surprise and disbelief.

He turned to see Tan Min sitting by the window, across from her a man in his sixties, their hands resting on the table and clasped together. Clearly, they had been caught off guard by their presence, Tan Min’s exclamation had been involuntary.

As Tan Min caught Yu Zexiao’s gaze, she quickly withdrew her hand from the man’s.

She glared at Yu Zexiao, her eyes paused on Yu Yue’s face for a few seconds, then she got up and walked toward Mo Wanyi, “What are you doing here? Why are you with Yu Zexiao?”

Her tone was sharp and questioning.

Before Mo Wanyi could respond, Yu Zexiao snorted from the side, “Tan Min, if your brain is flooded, go drain it outside. Better than staggering around in a haze, biting like a mad dog.”

Having said his piece, he moved to shield Mo Wanyi, then turned and called out to Yu Yue, “Son, let’s go.”

Son?

At the sound of that word, Tan Min leaped up as if her tail had been stepped on, chasing after the three of them to the door, “Wow, Mo Wanyi, I was wondering how you could be coming out of Yu Zexiao’s room that morning. So you two… you really have no shame!”

Yu Zexiao snapped his head around to look at her, his eyes narrowing slightly. He ground his teeth as he said, word by word, “So you saw Wanyi leave and sneaked into my room? Then took off your clothes and lay down beside me… You really have some nerve!”

Ever since his son came looking for him and he learned a bit of the truth from Mo Wanyi, he had been puzzled why Tan Min was the one next to him when he woke up that morning. Even though he had been out of his mind that night, he didn’t think that he had gone so far as to engage in group activities.

So it turned out…

His gaze at Tan Min was almost devouring; this wench had ruined half of his life!

She made him miss out on more than twenty years with his son.

Tan Min took a fearful step back; she had indeed been too furious and let the words slip out without thinking. She shouldn’t have revealed the truth in front of Yu Zexiao. Although Xiaoyue wasn’t his daughter, he’d only assumed that Tan Min had gotten pregnant with someone else’s child and pinned it on him, but he’d never suspected the person he’d slept with that night.

That was also why, when they divorced, he didn’t completely cut her off and left her with a bit of the assets.

But she didn’t expect Mo Wanyi would get pregnant, much less give birth to a son that looked so much like him; just one look at the boy’s face was enough to confirm without a paternity test that he was Yu Zexiao’s biological child.

Lucky bitch!

Back then she was jealous of how Mo Wanyi was in the same class and got along well with Yu Zexiao. Seeing her sneaking out of his room early in the morning made her guess what might have happened. She, too, had just come out of someone else’s room but was disgusted by how unattractive he was, and it was also because she had been drunk out of her senses the night before, or else she wouldn’t have let him touch her at all.

So, when she saw Mo Wanyi leave, she didn’t hesitate to enter Yu Zexiao’s room and lay down beside him after taking off her clothes.
