Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat

Chapter 133: Chapter 130 Paternity Test Chapter 133: Chapter 130 Paternity Test After finishing his afternoon class, Yu Heng returned to his office to find his phone had several missed calls and text messages—over a dozen.

He didn’t even look at the texts, but immediately deleted them with one click.

Three of the calls were from his dad.

Yu Heng knew his mom was drafting the divorce agreement, and the property division was almost complete; they were just waiting for the third brother to come back, and then everyone would go to the law office for notarization.

That included Xiaosi!

After thinking it over, he decided to call back.

As soon as the call connected, Yu Zekun asked him directly, “Xiaoheng, has your sister been found?”

The changes in Mu Chenyan over the past couple of days were too obvious, and coupled with the mention of a human trafficker that night, this conclusion was easy to guess.

“Yes,” Yu Heng didn’t deny it, as the property would be divided in a few days anyway; if he didn’t tell him now, he would find out eventually.

“Really found? How did you find her? Did the human traffickers confess?”

What human trafficker, that was just something Mu Chenyan had used to deceive Yu Xin.

Of course, Yu Heng wouldn’t tell Yu Zekun that, and he merely said, “Anyway, she’s been found, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

Yu Zekun: …

He said sullenly, “How can you say that? I am your father, after all. Now that Xiaosi has been found, shouldn’t I have the right to see her?”

Right?

At that moment, Yu Heng finally understood the coldness his mother had previously shown towards his father and realized why his grandmother wanted all of the Yu Family’s property to be under his mother’s control.

Yu Zekun truly took everything for granted, having been pampered from a young age, never considering others’ perspectives, and sometimes even using moral high ground to pressure people.

He was even worse than his unruly and unambitious second uncle.

“Dad, how can you say that you have the right to meet Xiaosi? Do you even care about her? If you don’t, what’s the point of meeting her?”

After speaking, Yu Heng hung up the phone.

No sooner had he hung up, the phone rang again. He thought it was Yu Zekun again and was about to reject the call when he saw it was from Yu Feng.

Yu Heng answered the phone, irritably saying, “You come over every night, now what do you need to call me for?”

“Big brother, I want to ask you, didn’t the second uncle buy Yu Xin a small apartment when she first returned to Beijing last year?”

Yu Feng wasn’t quite sure, only vaguely remembering something like that had happened.

Although the second uncle was loose with money and unreliable, he was clear-minded enough to know his own failings, and worried that he might not leave anything behind for later, he decided to use the money he had to prepare a dowry for Yu Xin in advance.

He might not have liked his daughter very much, but she was his only child after all, and it wouldn’t seem right to depend entirely on his sister-in-law for the Yu Family portion of the property that belonged to her; as her biological father, he had to prepare something else for her.

And so there was the small apartment in Beijing.

Not really big, just about ninety-something square meters, with two bedrooms and two living rooms.

If Yu Feng hadn’t mentioned it, Yu Heng would have forgotten all about it.

After all, Yu Xin’s mind was set on only living in their house, not even visiting her own parents, let alone her own small apartment.

“There was such an incident, but why do you suddenly ask?”

“Nothing special.”

With a snap, Yu Feng hung up the phone.

“Ridiculous!”

Having said that, Yu Heng no longer paid attention and soon forgot the matter while organizing test questions.

At noon, while eating at the cafeteria, he overheard the deputy director of the physics department discussing with Professor Shen from their mathematics department, “You’re only teaching two classes this year, your workload isn’t too heavy, so please help out and take over our department’s freshman class. If it weren’t for Professor Wang’s spouse being ill and needing to go abroad for surgery, I wouldn’t have come to trouble you.”

Professor Shen shook his head, “Director Li, it’s not that I don’t want to help; it’s just that I’m getting on in years and can’t keep up the energy. Two classes are just right for me; any more than that and I really don’t have the spirit to teach.”

Since the originally assigned calculus teacher for the physics department’s freshmen suddenly had a family emergency, the physics department had no choice but to approach the mathematics department looking for any available professor to take over.

They asked several professors, but all declined with various excuses.

Yu Heng, who was sitting nearby and had listened to the whole process, turned around and tentatively asked, “Director Li, what if I go? How about that?”

Director Li turned his head to see who was speaking, and his eyes lit up suddenly upon realizing who it was. He was so excited that he almost couldn’t believe what he had just heard, “Professor Yu, are you saying you… you could take over?”

Initially, Professor Yu hadn’t been considered because he guided many graduate students already; it was assumed he wouldn’t have the time to spare.

The other reason was that this was a talented individual with double doctorates from HF University abroad. The school had managed to recruit him with difficulty and it was good enough that he was willing to take on so many graduate students as requested by the school. How could they dare ask him to also take on a freshman undergraduate class?

They hadn’t even dared to think about it!

But who would have expected he would volunteer?

Director Li asked again uncertainly, “You want to come to our college to take on a freshman undergraduate class? But about the timing…”

Yu Heng said, “Later, give me the freshman class schedule from your department, and we’ll see if anything needs adjusting…”

“Whatever needs to be changed, just mention it; we will definitely adjust it according to your schedule.”

Before even finishing his meal, Director Li left with high spirits; he needed to hurry back and get the dean to confirm the arrangement.

He had attended Yu Heng’s lectures; after all, being from abroad, his ideas and approaches were unique and distinctive. The freshmen this year were truly fortunate.

…..

Elsewhere, after hanging up with Yu Heng, Yu Feng stroked his chin, pondering for a while before picking up his phone and dialing a name—
“Uncle, your lung didn’t look too good during the health check in the first half of the year. You need a follow-up checkup recently, and I am at the hospital now. Why don’t you come over?”

Yu Zexiao on the other side was puzzled, “Didn’t the checkup report say there was a slight issue with my liver? How did it change to my lung? What’s wrong with my lung?”

Yu Feng: …

Who can remember something from half a year ago?

With a serious face, he said, “There was a shadow on your lung; it wasn’t written on the report, but I told you about it. Did you forget after drinking that day?”

Yu Zexiao, “You told me? Then it’s possible I forgot. A shadow, huh? Is it serious? Do I need to have part of my lung removed?” He was somewhat scared and didn’t even think to ask why it wasn’t written on the report.

“You need to come over for another checkup to see if it has disappeared or gotten larger. Sigh, uncle, you should go to the bar less when you’re free. Even if you don’t smoke, secondhand smoke from so many people is even more harmful to your health. Also, you’re already over forty, not in your twenties anymore. Try to lead a more regular life and not indulge in dissipation all the time,” Yu Feng finished saying and then added, “Unless you’re not afraid of dying.”

Who isn’t afraid of death?

What nonsense is this kid talking about?

Yu Zexiao didn’t care to keep his appointment with his friend and immediately hurried to the hospital in a cab.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Feng pulled out a sealed plastic bag from a drawer, which contained two long strands of hair that he had specifically found on the comb in Yu Xin’s bathroom.

Paternity testing… He was very eager to know what the result would be!
