After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Mom is the Best

Yun Sisi cried as she returned home.

At that moment, Xu Ya was cooking in the kitchen. Hearing the commotion, she turned to see Yun Sisi with tears streaming down her face.

Startled, she quickly turned off the stove and pulled Yun Sisi over, asking, "Sisi, what’s wrong? Who bullied you?"

She was crying so hard that her entire face was drenched.

Watching this made Xu Ya’s heart ache terribly, so she grabbed some tissues to wipe Yun Sisi’s face.

Between sobs, Yun Sisi muttered, "Mom, look at this. This is all because of Sister!"

Yun Sisi pulled up her sleeve, revealing her wrist to Xu Ya.

"I ran into Sister at the cake shop today. Knowing she doesn’t like me, I invited her to have a milk tea, hoping she wouldn’t hate me so much anymore. But who would’ve thought, not only did she not appreciate it, she even spilled the tea all over me!" Yun Sisi lied through her teeth.

Hmph! Yun Shifei must really think she’s a pushover. Simply because she acts meek and conciliatory in front of Mu Chengzhu doesn’t mean she truly is.

After suffering such indignity, how could Yun Sisi just swallow her anger?

Since Yun Shifei always protects Cheng Lie, Yun Sisi might as well pin all the blame on her. Let’s see how far she’s willing to go to defend him.

Yun Sisi was fully confident that Yun Shifei would take the blame for this incident to protect the fool.

At that point, Xu Ya would detest her even more, and Yun Tiancheng would finally see her for the bad girl she truly was, growing resentful toward her.

This was exactly the outcome Yun Sisi wanted.

Yun Shifei had stolen her love, and Yun Sisi intended to take everything back piece by piece.

As for Mu Chengzhu...

Thinking of Mu Chengzhu made Yun Sisi even more heartbroken.

She never imagined that one day, Mu Chengzhu would distance himself from her.

What was this supposed to mean?

Once upon a time, he had clearly liked her. And now? He barely paid her any attention and had fallen for her sister instead!

Even the most melodramatic of TV dramas wouldn’t write a plot like this.

Listening to Yun Sisi’s words, Xu Ya initially felt sympathy. But hearing it was Yun Shifei’s doing made her a bit skeptical.

"Why would Shifei do such a thing?"

"Mom, don’t you believe me?" Yun Sisi asked.

How could Xu Ya not believe Yun Sisi? However, emotional belief and rational belief were two different matters, pulling Xu Ya into a conflicted state.

"Mom, I don’t want anything else; I just want Sister to apologize to me. That’s it," Yun Sisi said.

After saying this, she added in a sorrowful tone, "I know, you can’t trust me as easily as you used to anymore, and that’s fine. I understand. I only want Sister’s apology."

This resolute plea forced Xu Ya to start believing that Yun Shifei might have really done such a thing.

If she hadn’t, Yun Sisi’s request for an apology and a confrontation would have exposed the truth, wouldn’t it?

"Mom, can we go find her right now? I just want an explanation, nothing else," Yun Sisi pressed.

While it appeared as though she wanted nothing more, in reality, she intended to escalate the situation and ruin Yun Shifei’s reputation further within the Yun Family District.

She was certain that Yun Shifei would definitely try to protect Cheng Lie and conceal her own true feelings.

With Yun Sisi’s insistence, Xu Ya was left with no choice but to seek clarity about the seemingly irreconcilable conflict between her two children.

So, she abandoned her cooking, hailed a cab, and took Yun Sisi back to the Yun Family District.

At that moment, Yun Shifei had also just returned home not long ago. After Yun Sisi’s earlier disruption, she had lost her appetite and packed up the cake she had picked up to bring home instead. noveldrama

That day, Yun Tiancheng had returned quite early and was personally cooking dinner.

As he often admitted, his busy work schedule in the past had prevented him from fulfilling his duties as a father.

But from now on, he resolved to learn how to be a good father.

By the time Yun Shifei arrived home, Yun Tiancheng had already prepared dinner. Seeing her bring home the cake, he frowned and said, "Shifei, don’t eat too many sweet things, or you’ll get cavities."

Yun Shifei responded with a big smile, "Dad, look at my teeth. I brush them carefully every day."

Her clean white teeth made Yun Tiancheng grin in return.

"Even so, eating too many sweets can still be bad for your health."

Yun Shifei, while playing with her beloved pet, replied, "Got it."

She had heard this advice before: don’t eat too many sweets. That’s why she hadn’t eaten much in a long while and had only indulged after finishing her exams.

Just as she was happily playing with her dog, the sound of the doorbell interrupted her.

She stood up and walked over to answer it, finding Xu Ya and Yun Sisi at the door.

The smile at her lips gradually faded.

She understood roughly why they were here.

"Sister, I just want you to apologize to me. Why won’t you apologize after burning my hand?" Yun Sisi said pitifully, her eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly pathetic.

"Shifei, did you really do this?" Xu Ya asked.

Seeing the doubt in Xu Ya’s eyes, Yun Shifei lowered her gaze and murmured, "You’re suspicious of me, too?"

Xu Ya felt like something was stuck in her throat. Her relationship with Yun Shifei had grown increasingly strained.

She had hoped to mend their relationship before, but now it seemed nearly impossible.

Nonetheless, this issue needed to be sorted out.

"I’m not suspicious of you; I just want to get to the bottom of this," Xu Ya explained.

Her explanation elicited little reaction from Yun Shifei.

Yun Shifei didn’t have strong feelings for Xu Ya anymore.

Her question a moment ago had been merely reflexive.

Yun Sisi kept her eyes fixed on Yun Shifei, wondering if she might actually deny it.

If Yun Shifei denied it, Yun Sisi could admit it was Cheng Lie who did it—but she knew this would ruin her completely.

Her lie would unravel, and Xu Ya would never trust her again!

When Yun Sisi behaved badly, there was always a gamble involved. She hoped Yun Shifei wouldn’t be so honest about denying responsibility for the incident.

"It was me," Yun Shifei admitted, looking up and swiftly glancing at Yun Sisi. "Sisi, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have spilled the milk tea on you. My apologies."

The girl’s tone was calm, betraying no hint of her emotions.

When had Yun Shifei started hiding her true feelings so well?

Yun Sisi didn’t know.

All she knew was that although Yun Shifei’s apology sounded insincere, Sisi had no choice but to forgive her.

As long as Yun Shifei admitted fault, it was enough. Sisi couldn’t push too hard, lest the truth come to light.

"If only Sister had apologized sooner, I wouldn’t have had to come over like this," Yun Sisi said, her tone tinged with sorrow.

She truly looked aggrieved, yet nobly forgiving.

Yun Tiancheng, hearing the commotion, walked out to see Xu Ya and Yun Sisi. He frowned and asked, "What’s going on?"

It had been months since Yun Sisi had last seen Yun Tiancheng, but this time, his gaze toward her was different.

No longer warm and loving, his eyes were now cold and distant.

He didn’t care for her anymore!

Yun Sisi realized this instantly.

In the past, when Yun Tiancheng doted on her, he would look at her with a kind, proud smile, bragging about her to everyone.

But now, with Yun Shifei around, he had forgotten her completely.

Only Mom still cared. This realization left Yun Sisi heartbroken.
