Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 492 - 492 487 Knowing How to Handle Things

Chapter 492: Chapter 487: Knowing How to Handle Things Chapter 492: Chapter 487: Knowing How to Handle Things Upon hearing Mu Jiawen’s voice, Yang Dan gradually calmed down too, her muddled thoughts clearing.

She thought to herself that she couldn’t always rely on Jiajia to help out whenever there was trouble, could she?

Especially in this situation, where someone was accusing her right to her face, if she didn’t retaliate, that would be utterly spineless.

As she saw the woman, furious and ashamed, about to charge at Mu Jiawen, Yang Dan hurried out from behind the cashier counter, took two steps forward, grabbed the woman’s wavy long hair, and yanked it hard backward. Following a high-pitched scream, Yang Dan suddenly let go.

The woman fell to the ground with a thud.

A look of surprise flashed in Mu Jiawen’s eyes, then she stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and walked to Yang Dan’s side.

The two stood side by side, looking disdainfully at the woman on the ground.

Yang Dan said, “Before today, I had never seen you, nor did I know you. My relationship with Memberland started after his divorce from you, I’m not a homewrecker, so what right do you have to insult me?”

Mu Jiawen stood silently beside her, but her rolled sleeves suggested that if there was any more nonsense, she really would take action.

She was not unfamiliar with this kind of scene; she had seen it countless times in novels, but this was a first in real life.

Mu Jiawen suspected that this woman probably read a lot of novels too.

“You’re not a homewrecker?” The woman got up from the ground, staggered after twisting her left ankle, then steadied herself before stepping back warily and looking at the two of them with caution. “Memberland and I divorced just as a temporary measure. I told him that after two years, I would consider returning, and then we’d remarry. Now you’ve interfered, preventing us from reuniting immediately. You still say you’re not a homewrecker?”

Yang Dan might not have been married before, but she knew that marriage was no trivial matter—how could you just divorce and remarry on a whim?

What would that make of marriage?

She didn’t bother arguing; she just took out her phone from her pocket and dialed Memberland.

After the call connected and she put it on speaker, she looked at the woman and said as soon as Memberland answered with a “hello,” “Your ex-wife is here. She’s calling me a homewrecker, saying your divorce was fake and now you’re planning to remarry.”

The woman seemed not to expect Yang Dan to call Memberland at this moment. Panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down, stepped forward, and cried into the phone, “Memberland, she hit me…”

Mu Jiawen was quite speechless. Such a good actor, why don’t you be an actress?

Plus, such a clumsy way to change the subject, right?

“Luo Lisha…”

“Memberland, you said you’d always love me, that as long as I turned around, I’d see you waiting for me forever… I’m back now, you can fulfill your promise. Let this woman go, and I’ll agree to remarry you immediately.”

Silence from the other end, Memberland didn’t utter a word.

Mu Jiawen couldn’t help but frown, she turned with a worried look towards Yang Dan.

Yang Dan had changed a lot, from her looks to her demeanor, after several years of college life. Her eyes might not be very big, but when she smiled, her double eyelids would narrow into crescents that made her face radiate.

It was said that a male student from her class had been pursuing her. Furthermore, two of her high school classmates had also kept in close contact with her. According to Guan Jiao, both had shown romantic interest in Yang Dan, but she had indirectly turned them down.

Memberland was thirty-two that year, nine years older than Yang Dan.

Mu Jiawen had not expected her to choose him. Perhaps it was love that developed over time?

Luo Lisha, seeing that Memberland had not directly refused or denied her, looked towards Yang Dan with a hint of triumph.

Just then, the heavy wooden door of the pizza shop was pushed open from the outside.

Memberland held his cell phone, his steps slightly hurried as he walked in.

After entering, his gaze first turned to Yang Dan, and seeing that she was unharmed, and that Mu Jiawen was also standing by her side, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

“Allen…”

Luo Lisha rushed over, wanting to hug him, but Memberland deftly dodged.

His expression held a trace of annoyance, and his tone was mixed with impatience, “Luo Lisha, it’s been nearly two years since we divorced. Our relationship is already a thing of the past. Now, you come to talk about getting back together—don’t you think that’s absurd?”

“But Allen, you clearly said…”

“When we got married, didn’t you also swear before the priest to be faithful to our marriage and to love? But what happened?” Memberland’s mouth curled slightly in mockery, “The one who betrayed first was you; the one who had eyes for another while eating from this bowl was also you. After the divorce, I didn’t tell your family the truth out of consideration for your dignity. After all, we were supposed to go our separate ways, without interfering with each other’s lives.

“But I never expected that by saving your face, you didn’t have the slightest consideration for my feelings and even came to my shop to find my girlfriend. What? Luo Lisha, do I look so spineless in your eyes that I must accept you back just because you said so? What do you take me for? A rag picker?”

“Allen, you…” Luo Lisha, her face swelling red with anger, stamped her foot and pointed at him, “How can you speak so crudely now? What happened to your gentlemanly manners? You know I still love…”

“Drop it!”

Memberland sneered coldly, “Your love is a burden I can’t afford. And now, that’s just how I talk. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to listen. The door is over there. Please leave, I won’t escort you out.”

“Memberland…”

“Just go, don’t make me call your parents.”

It was at this moment that Luo Lisha truly understood that her relationship with Memberland was really over, and they could never return to what they once were.

She recalled what her mother had told her, “When Allen wanted children, I told you to have one. If you had a child, even if you made a big mistake, he’d forgive you for the sake of the child.”

But now, what use was regret?

Watching Luo Lisha leave the pizza shop dejected, Yang Dan didn’t show any signs of triumphant joy on her face. Her expression was calm, she didn’t look at Memberland, took off the apron she was wearing and put it on the table, then turned to Jiajia, “Let’s go, I’ll accompany you to buy groceries.”

Mu Jiawen turned around to go back to her original table and took her down jacket from the back of the chair to put it on.

“Yang Dan…”

Seeing that Yang Dan was about to leave, Memberland grew anxious and when she passed by him, he grabbed her arm and said with an apologetic face, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know she would come.”

“It’s not your fault, I’m going to help Jiajia with shopping now.”

She said she didn’t blame him, but her eyes still didn’t look his way.

Mu Jiawen turned around and spoke her piece of fairness, “Mr. Memberland, even though it’s not your fault that your ex-wife came to make a scene, it’s indeed because of you that our Yang Dan was scolded unwarrantedly. Your unresolved mess led to her being treated unfairly. That’s not right, is it? So, whatever her treatment towards you now, you’d better just take it. And if you can’t take it…”

“I can take it!”

Memberland cut off Mu Jiawen’s speech, not wanting her to continue, because he could predict the words that followed would definitely not be pleasant.

After all, this girl was fierce!

“Well then, Jiajia, I got a few boxes of red wine from a friend today. When you leave later, I’ll carry a box for you, take it back for Jiang Yan and your family to try.”

Mu Jiawen pursed her lips. In the end, he was an old man, knowing just how to work a situation. He was trying to buy her off, to please Yang Dan with his gesture.
