Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat-Chapter 74 - 71 Incident
Chapter 74: Chapter 71 Incident
Chapter 74 -71 Incident
The Principal’s guess was correct. At that moment, Yang Xueqin was sitting at home, blankly looking at the photographs on the coffee table in front of her.

The photos were a bit blurry, not very clear, but one could still make out the enchanting figure of the woman in them, and even her beautiful face.
Yang Xueqin raised her hand to touch her own face, feeling the slightly rough skin which was not at all smooth. Without even looking in the mirror, she knew just how ordinary her features were.
But she had always looked this way, it’s not like she had changed into this just today.
Yang Xueqin was utterly confused and didn’t know what to do.
At this moment, the phone at home started ringing, “Ding-a-ling…” Yang Xueqin snapped out of her daze, hurriedly moved to one side of the sofa, and picked up the receiver, “Hello?”
“Ms. Bi Siyuan’s mother, is there something you have to do today? It’s been half an hour since school ended; why haven’t you come to pick up Bi Siyuan?”
With an “Ah”, Yang Xueqin looked up at the wall clock. Unknowingly, she had sat on the sofa for two hours, forgetting to check the time, and missed picking up her daughter from school.
Yang Xueqin quickly changed her clothes and hurried out of the house toward the school.
But having just changed her shoes, she turned back to look at the coffee table, where those filthy photos were still lying.
She returned to the living room, grabbed the stack of photos, stuffed them into her handbag, and rushed out the door.
After picking up her daughter, Yang Xueqin didn’t go back to her own home but went to her parents’ place instead.
She had never been very decisive, and Bi Hezhong usually made decisions for everything at home, but this matter… naturally, she couldn’t turn to him.
Fortunately, with Bi Siyuan having evening self-study classes in her senior year, Bi Hezhong usually didn’t come home for dinner.
Not coming home for dinner…
Heh.
Yang Xueqin remembered how a few of those photos showed Bi Hezhong dining with that woman. Judging from the lighting, it was clearly at night.
So it wasn’t that he didn’t have time to have dinner with his wife and child; he just didn’t want to.
Today was coincidental; just when she was visiting, Big Brother Yang’s family was also there.
“Xueqin is here.”
Her sister-in-law greeted her warmly; they had a good relationship as sisters-in-law, often going shopping and having coffee together.
Yang Xueqin would discuss any issues with her sister-in-law, never hiding anything. Seeing her now, she suddenly couldn’t hold back her feelings of grievance, and her eyes reddened instantly.
Big Sister Yang was taken aback, glanced at her little niece by her side, took the little girl’s hand, and walked inside, “Yuanyuan, have you not done your homework yet? Be good and go do it in grandpa’s study, your auntie will make you something delicious in just a moment.”
She coaxed the child into the study and closed the door.
Big Sister Yang led Yang Xueqin into the dining room. Big Brother Yang, who was watching TV in the living room, saw them and thought they were talking about womanly matters, so he didn’t pay attention.
Little did he know, in the next moment, he would see his sister taking out a stack of photos from her bag.
Hearing his wife’s exclamation, Big Brother Yang couldn’t help but get up and join them. He was ashen-faced by the time he finished looking through all the photos.
“That bastard…”
Elder Yang who was cooking in the kitchen heard the commotion and stuck her head out. At a glance, she saw her youngest daughter and clicked her tongue, “You could’ve called before coming; I would have bought more groceries. Where’s Yuanyuan?”
After speaking, she noticed the unusual atmosphere among them. Elder Yang turned off the stove, wiped her hands, and walked out, “What’s happened here?”
The photos were sprawled across the dining table, and Elder Yang saw at a glance that each photo contained two people.
She picked up each item to inspect and, having finished, glanced at Elder Yang with a composed expression, “I said from the beginning that Bi Hezhong was not trustworthy, but you insisted on vouching for him, claiming his character was dependable. You said your little sister wouldn’t suffer marrying him. Is this what you call not suffering?”
Big Brother Yang’s face turned sheepish, “I misjudged him.”
“Talking about this now is pointless. For now, we should focus on resolving the issue at hand.”
With that, the matriarch of the Yang Family turned to her youngest daughter and asked, “What do you think?”
Anything else was negotiable, but what she feared most was that her youngest daughter was still sentimentally attached to that scoundrel, which would complicate matters even if they did go through with the divorce.
“I… I don’t know.”
Yang Xueqin sat in her chair, head lowered, tears dripping down.
Big Brother Yang’s wife could not hold back her anger, “What do you mean you don’t know? Divorce him and leave him with nothing!”
After uttering those words, she suddenly remembered that they had bought their apartment with the help of the Yang Family and immediately felt a stabbing pain in her chest.
Big Brother Yang’s face was grim, “The divorce is definite. I’ll handle the rest.”
Big Brother Yang was decisive and, without regard for whether it was outside of working hours, he immediately contacted a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement and also called the principal of Experimental Middle School.
At that moment, Bi Hezhong was in the principal’s office.
“Didn’t you claim that Yang Xueqin was dependent on you and couldn’t leave you?”
After hanging up the phone, the principal, livid, pointed at Bi Hezhong and yelled, “You had a bright future and didn’t know how to cherish it. You just had to mess up, didn’t you!”
Having an uncle as a director in the Education Bureau was an enviable advantage few could gain, yet he had squandered it…
Pressing his throbbing temples, the principal could only hope that Director Yang would not take out his anger on him because of this incident.
“You’re suspended, go home. The class teacher of the third class will be taken over by Teacher Qu.”
Bi Hezhong had heard the contents of the phone call too and slumped in his chair ashen-faced. But when he heard that the third class which he had worked hard to build was to be taken over by someone else, he urgently pleaded, “Principal, could you let me see this group of students through graduation before the suspension?”
The college entrance exam was imminent, and the class he taught always had the highest rate of admission to top universities, not to mention the students who got into Beijing University were in his class.
He could not bear to relinquish this honor so easily!
“See the students through? What are you thinking? Don’t you understand even now? Choosing this particular time to send the photos, the person clearly aimed to strip you of your position as class teacher.”
Indeed, why send the photos now if not to ruin his reputation, just half a month before the college entrance exam?
Bi Hezhong tried to argue further, “But Principal, I’ve worked hard for three years…”
“Hard work my ass! All the top students in high school were assigned to your class, anyone could have achieved the same results, perhaps even better than you.”
After saying this, the principal didn’t even want to look at him anymore and waved him off.
Bi Hezhong left the principal’s office feeling utterly deflated; as he passed by an open window in the corridor, a gust of hot wind blew, sending a chill through him.
No, he could not just admit defeat. He had to remedy this, he had to think of a way to fix things.
He knew Yang Xueqin had gone to her parents-in-law’s place, and she was soft-hearted. If he went there and knelt to beg for mercy in front of everyone, she would surely forgive him and then obediently return home with him.
With this thought, Bi Hezhong didn’t even bother to speculate about who took and sent the photos; he hurriedly left.
It was just past six o’clock, the sky had not completely darkened, but the dimly lit road was already deserted, and the streetlights were staggeredly shining.
There was a parking lot on the side of the school. Bi Hezhong, hastening his steps, just reached the entrance when suddenly two figures burst from the side, a black bag was forcefully pulled over his head, and before he could react, he was hoisted up and thrown into a van parked nearby.
