After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Yun Sisi was so scolded by Yun Tiancheng that she was on the verge of tears.

She looked at Yun Tiancheng with a pitiful expression, but Yun Tiancheng seemed to have a heart of stone, ignoring her grievance.

She couldn’t really start crying.

If she cried normally, Yun Tiancheng might comfort her, but crying at this moment, Yun Tiancheng would find her annoying.

Yun Tiancheng lectured Yun Sisi for a while and then said, "Although your sister is a few months older than you, you are practically the same age. She has suffered so much outside, you need to empathize with her."

Empathize with Yun Shifei? Who would empathize with her?

Yun Sisi was very discontented, but facing Yun Tiancheng’s stern expression, she still nodded, "Dad, I understand."

Coming out of the study, Yun Sisi saw Xu Ya standing at the door, and her heart rejoiced.

Sure enough, her mom still cared about her, worried that she might get scolded by Yun Tiancheng, so she waited at the study door.

She couldn’t help but call out, "Mom."

She had already thought about what to say, to tell Xu Ya that she wasn’t really wronged and that Dad’s scolding was deserved.

That way, Xu Ya would think she is sensible and not hold things against her for the past issues.

However, just as she was about to speak, she didn’t expect Xu Ya to completely ignore her, "Sisi, I have something to discuss with your dad."

And so, Yun Sisi stood there, mouth half-open, watching Xu Ya walk into the study, watching the door close in her face.

Her lips quivered, and this time, she really started crying.

However, no one cared about her tears.

She looked up at the upstairs, a flash of hatred in her eyes, and stomped up the stairs.

Yun Tiancheng, having finished lecturing Yun Sisi, was lighting a cigarette to calm his nerves when he saw Xu Ya come in, somewhat surprised.

"Is Shifei doing okay?" Xu Ya asked.

"She’s fine, that child is sensible."

The implication being that the child is more sensible than the adults.

Xu Ya ignored the sting in Yun Tiancheng’s words, taking a deep breath, "I really owe her an apology."

"It’s good that you realize that, after all, she’s your flesh and blood, doesn’t it pain you?"

Being scolded by Yun Tiancheng, Xu Ya’s tears welled up.

She had always been strong and hadn’t cried in years.

But this time, she did not actually cry.

Because she knew she had made a grievous mistake.

She had promised to treat Shifei better, but then turned around and didn’t trust her.

She still remembered the look Yun Shifei gave her at that time, indifferent and distant, with a hint of fear.

She was her mother, yet made her so afraid.

She didn’t even know what she had done to cause it.

Seeing Xu Ya’s sorrowful expression, Yun Tiancheng couldn’t bring himself to continue reprimanding her; he understood the hardships Xu Ya had endured over the years.

Stepping forward, he put an arm around her shoulder, "Alright, alright, don’t feel too guilty. Shifei is sensible. Show your love through actions, and she won’t blame you."

Leaning into Yun Tiancheng’s embrace, Xu Ya nodded.

"Yun Shifei, was it intentional?" Yun Sisi knocked on Yun Shifei’s door, glaring at her.

She was too furious to pretend anymore, not even calling her sister.

Yun Shifei looked at the furious face of Yun Sisi, yet her own expression remained as calm as ever, "What are you talking about?"

"Stop pretending, you deliberately made it look like I framed you so Mom and Dad would hate me. You only got slapped by Mom, but do you know what I’ve lost?!" The more Yun Sisi thought about it, the angrier she got.

Their impression of her in Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya’s eyes had certainly changed, and they’d never treat her the same as before.

Thinking of this, Yun Sisi felt extremely sad.

But the woman before her remained so calm, as if she had only just remembered what Sisi was talking about.

"Oh, so you’re talking about that... How is it that I deliberately let you frame me, why would I do such a thing?"

Her expression was so genuinely confused, it left Yun Sisi unable to find any flaw.

Instead, she was led along by her.

Indeed, Yun Shifei really hadn’t done anything just then, it was all her own doing.

Even if Yun Shifei’s earlier expression seemed calm, it proved nothing.

Perhaps she just didn’t react, since, after all, her intellect was low and her reactions were slow.

She probably didn’t even possess the intelligence to do such things.

So, was it really her own fault?

In the end, Yun Sisi could only sulk to herself, angrily returning to her room.

Seeing Yun Sisi no longer bothering her, Yun Shifei lowered her eyes, coughed lightly, and turned back to her own room.

The next afternoon, Yun Shifei appeared at the Cheng Family’s door on time with her school bag.

They had agreed to have classes together every weekend afternoon.

This wasn’t Yun Shifei’s first time standing there; she was already familiar with the address of the Cheng Family.

Yet it was her first time entering the Cheng Family’s house.

She pressed the doorbell, and her gaze fell on the tulips planted in the flower bed in front of the Cheng Family’s house.

Various colors of tulips bloomed their brightest under the sun, attracting bees to collect pollen.

Soon, someone came to open the door, a woman dressed elegantly and luxuriously, who smiled upon seeing Yun Shifei, "Shifei, you’re here?"

"Hello, Auntie."

The woman standing before her was Zhao Haishuang, Cheng Guomin’s wife.

Yun Shifei recalled her as a very beautiful auntie.

Xu Ya was also beautiful, but in a different way from Zhao Haishuang.

Xu Ya’s beauty was like a landscape painting, elegant and serene as a pure lotus, complemented by the scholarly grace cultivated in her family’s background, making her unforgettable.

Whereas Zhao Haishuang seemed like a peony of earthly riches, innately beautiful, enhanced by cosmetics and adorned in exquisite clothes and jewelry, like a potted plant set upon a stage for admiration.

The kind of pretty aunt admired by all young girls.

Yun Shifei followed Zhao Haishuang into the house, and they went to the study, where Zhao Haishuang said to Yun Shifei, "Shifei, you and Xiao Lie will study here."

"Okay."

"Sit for a bit, I’ll call Xiao Lie over."

Yun Shifei nodded.

The study room was exclusively occupied by Yun Shifei, and she couldn’t help but take in the sight of this vast study.

Unlike the Yun Family’s, the Cheng Family’s study was on the ground floor, adjoining the backyard with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Through the glass, one could see the scenery of the backyard.

When tired of reading, one could gaze at the scenery outside, how lovely.

This design was quite advanced for the current times.

After waiting for quite some time, Cheng Lie came in.

Yun Shifei looked at him, offering a small smile, "Cheng Lie, good afternoon."

The young man gave her a direct glance with a blank expression, then retracted his gaze.

Always as indifferent as ever.

"We are going to have classes together!" she cheerfully remarked.

Cheng Lie still didn’t respond, only the sound of him flipping through his textbook could be heard.

Yun Shifei blinked with some disappointment.

She knew Cheng Guomin intended to have her become good friends with Cheng Lie through their lessons together.

But with things as they were, could they really become friends?

Yun Shifei was deeply doubtful. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"Shifei, have some juice," Zhao Haishuang came in, offering two glasses of juice and placing them on the table.

"Thank you, Auntie."
