Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 424 - 424 419 Unattainable

Chapter 424: Chapter 419 Unattainable Chapter 424: Chapter 419 Unattainable “It’s said that good people don’t live long, but calamities persist for a thousand years.”

Jiang’s grandmother only fainted from a rush of blood due to anger, and after being taken to the town’s hospital, she woke up soon after.

At first, she opened her muddled eyes in a daze, and then, as if remembering something, swiftly turned her head to look, only to see Jiang’s third son sitting on a bench nearby with a dark face and furrowed brows.

Jiang’s grandmother reached out her arm towards him, “Third son, where’s Jiang Yan?”

Jiang’s third son looked at her silently, saying nothing.

“I’m asking you, where’s Jiang Yan? Did he follow us over?”

She had just fainted on the spot, and it was he who had made her faint. If he didn’t follow, the spit from others alone could drown him.

“Mom, have you really become senile? What were you thinking?”

Jiang’s third son stood up and began pacing back and forth in front of the bed, “I told you we were looking for Jiang Yan to ease the relationship, you understand? To ease it! But what did you do?”

He stopped and irritably scratched his head, “He’s not the eldest brother. With the eldest, you can use the gratitude for raising and supporting his education to cry, make a scene, or even threaten to hang yourself, and he would compromise. But Jiang Yan won’t, because you never raised him, do you understand that?”

Not only had she not raised him, but the little grandparent-grandchild affection that was left had also disappeared without a trace.

Jiang’s grandmother stared dumbly at her third son, and suddenly understanding dawned on her. Her face changed color, “Jiang Yan didn’t follow? He left?”

Still following? What was she thinking?

Indeed, when Jiang’s grandmother fainted, it gave the onlookers quite a shock, and it scared Mu Jiawen too. She jumped back, distancing herself from the old lady, and clarified for herself, “Everyone saw it, right? I didn’t touch her. She was insisting on blocking our way and wouldn’t let us leave. I was just talking sense into her, and she faints when she couldn’t argue…”

The rest of her words went unsaid, but the onlookers understood nonetheless. Actually, they had seen clearly that it was the old lady who was being unreasonable and blocking the two. So her sudden fainting…

Some people began to urge Jiang’s third son, still standing there foolishly, “Aren’t you her son? Hurry up, take your mother to the hospital. Don’t let her anger bring on something serious.”

Jiang’s third son bent down to help Jiang’s grandmother up, then looked up to call for Jiang Yan, “Xiaoyan, hurry and lend a hand. Let’s get your grandma onto the tricycle.”

At that moment, he actually felt a bit of secret relief, thinking that his mother had fainted at just the right time; in doing so, he could naturally persuade Jiang Yan to go back home with him, which was far better than trying to dryly convince him on the main road.

But unexpectedly, after Jiang Yan went to the alley entrance to help pull the tricycle over, he turned and left with Mu Jiawen.

The two of them walked swiftly; Jiang’s third son couldn’t even react before they were already more than ten meters away. Soon thereafter, they reached Xie Yanhai’s front door and went inside.

Jiang’s third son was completely dumbfounded, but he couldn’t do anything since he still held Jiang’s grandmother in his arms, with the nosy crowd around urging him on. In the end, he had to give up on Jiang Yan and first take his mother to the hospital.

After arriving at the hospital and the doctors confirmed there was nothing wrong, he still couldn’t reconcile with just leaving it at that. Once the old lady was hooked up to an IV, and he had asked a nurse to keep an eye on her, he returned, pedaling the tricycle back to the street where Xie Yanhai lived.

It so happened that when he arrived, Jiang Yan was about to leave. The impressive Audi with a Beijing license plate was being opened up by Mu Jiawen, who was placing things inside, and then Jiang Yan got into the driver’s seat.

This car was his?

Again, Jiang’s third son was dumbfounded.

By the time he came to his senses, Jiang Yan had already started the car and was turning the corner heading his way.

As the car passed by him, it kicked up a cloud of dust. Through the car window and the rearview mirror, he vaguely saw Jiang Yan turn his head and glance at him indifferently, his eyes cold and without a trace of warmth.

The Audi gradually receded. He felt as if he was watching the youth who once called him “Third Uncle” with a carefree laugh fading further and further away, becoming more distant, until he completely vanished from sight.

…

“No, this isn’t right…”

Old Lady Jiang struggled to sit up as she spoke, “Go call someone, have them remove this IV for me.”

After she uttered these words, she looked up at the remaining quarter of the saline solution and immediately recanted with distress, “Never mind, let’s wait for it to finish.”

If the money had already been spent, wouldn’t it be wasteful not to use it all?

“If you keep this up, tomorrow you take me to Yunzhou, and we’ll look for the eldest. I refuse to believe that Jiang Yan would dare not listen to his own father.”

Jiang Number Three didn’t want to go; the last time the eldest was injured and stayed in the hospital, they were absolutely ruthless, and the eldest’s threat to cut ties was probably serious.

He also didn’t tell Old Lady Jiang that Jiang Yan owned a very expensive car; it would have been pointless because he faintly realized that his nephew had probably become unreachable for them.

He made up an excuse, saying that he and his wife had agreed to visit their child’s grandmother’s house tomorrow, so the second brother should take her instead.

Early the next day, Number Two took the old lady to Yunzhou’s First Prison.

But upon their arrival and asking to see Jiang Fengwei, mentioning that they were his mother and brother, the guards looked at the two strangely and informed them: Jiang Fengwei had long been released!

Released?

Stunned, mother and son couldn’t believe it and asked the guard incredulously, “Wasn’t he sentenced to ten or twenty years? How could he be released so soon?”

And why hadn’t he come home after his release? Where had he gone?

Though they had previously thought of finding a reason for him to live outside once he was released, to avoid embarrassment of having him come back,

Now they wildly hoped he would return home.

“Good behavior and meritorious deeds naturally lead to early release. As to where he went after being set free, if your family members don’t know, we certainly have no idea.”

The guards here had a good impression of Jiang Fengwei, primarily because he nearly lost his life saving one of their colleagues. So, after he was discharged from the hospital, everyone took good care of him and also learned a bit about his family circumstances.

Due to certain reasons, they definitely couldn’t reveal his whereabouts after his release.

The mother and son returned home without achieving anything, dejectedly taking the car back to Jianghai.

….

On the other side, Xie Yanhai, accompanied by Xie Lin and Xie Jingying, got into Xie Yanfen’s car.

Xie Yanfen was truly disappointed that Mu Jiawen wasn’t joining them.

At present, this child seemed to be the brightest and most promising of the Xie Family’s generation, and her father had learned about his elder brother’s situation because of her. After returning to China, he frequently mentioned this child.

However, considering the distance from Haishi to Beijing, and with only three days left of the holiday, Xie Yanfen decided not to press the matter further.

Yet on the way, he mentioned to Xie Yanhai and Xie Jingying, “Our company works in securities, it’s a pity it’s not aligned with Jiajia’s field of study. Otherwise, she could join the company directly after graduation.”

With her head lowered, Xie Jingying didn’t say a word, while Xie Yanhai responded with a smile, “Big brother, don’t worry about her; the girl has already been earmarked by a well-known professor at their school. She’s not even in her third year and already working away in the lab.”

Happy to hear this, Xie Yanfen clicked his tongue in admiration, “Although girls don’t have an advantage in studying science, Jiajia is truly intelligent. With her brain, she can make a name for herself in whatever she does.”
