After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 113: Chapter 113 Crisis

Xu Ya actually agreed with Yun Sisi’s thoughts.

Since they abandoned the child back then, and now they want to take her back? How could it be so easy?

Yun Sisi might not be her biological child, but over the years, she has always treated her as her own daughter and raised her with care.

A child carefully raised with so much effort, and the biological parents return wanting to reclaim her?

Yun Sisi’s biological parents looked at Yun Sisi, then at Xu Ya.

"Madam, I know that you are the one who raised Sisi. Without you, there wouldn’t be the Sisi we have today. Even though we are her biological parents, we lost the right to claim her after leaving her for so many years. We just hope that, if possible in the future, we can visit her more often. Whenever we have time, we’ll come by to see her, and if Sisi has time, she can come visit us, too. Recently, we opened a restaurant near Zhenhua Middle School..."

Listening to the woman in front of her, Yun Sisi felt as if something exploded in her mind, leaving her thoughts blank.

They even opened a shop near Zhenhua Middle School? That means, come next semester, all the classmates in school will know that she has such biological parents.

No! Why is this happening?! Why?!

Yun Sisi felt as if her world had darkened.

Her efforts for the past decade were obliterated in an instant.

Just thinking of her classmates’ stares made Yun Sisi so anxious she didn’t dare go to class.

How could she change the current situation?

Yun Sisi considered countless strategies, but none seemed feasible.

Why is fate so cruel to her?

Again and again, it crushes her. Yun Sisi felt utterly hopeless.

Why does Yun Shifei, without trying, have so many people who adore her?

And as for her, she’s been trying so hard to earn everyone’s love, pouring all her energy into it, only to end up completely negated.

She might as well die—driven to it by these people!

Yun Sisi was consumed with hate.

She hated Yun Shifei and also despised her so-called biological parents.

Why did they have to show up at this exact moment, as if they couldn’t bear to see her live well?

...

When Yun Tiancheng returned, Xu Ya told him about the matter.

Yun Tiancheng glanced at Xu Ya, "What are your plans?"

"I have no plans. Sisi has been my daughter all these years; I can’t just send her back like that."

Yun Tiancheng sneered coldly, "Initially, I thought we’d raise Sisi till adulthood, but now that her biological parents have shown up, we might as well send her back."

"Yun Tiancheng! What are you thinking? Do you have any idea how much effort I’ve put into raising Sisi? Sure, you just worked outside every day, brought money back, and didn’t invest a shred of energy into all this, so it’s easy for you to stand there and talk. But what about me? The bond I share with Sisi, you know exactly how deep it is."

Of course, Yun Tiancheng knew how much effort Xu Ya put into raising the child, and he wasn’t as emotionless toward the child as Xu Ya claimed.

Over these past ten-odd years, living with her, watching her grow up—how could he not care for her?

If he truly didn’t care, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to fulfill Yun Sisi’s every wish.

If he truly didn’t care, he wouldn’t always think of Yun Sisi first when seeing things fit for a girl.

Had he truly been indifferent, he wouldn’t have felt such disappointment after all the mistakes she later made.

The more you expect, the deeper the disappointment. Disappointment always leaves clues.

Unfortunately, Yun Sisi doesn’t understand, and neither does Xu Ya.

Just like Yun Shifei, he doesn’t know if Yun Shifei also feels the same recurring disappointments.

"Xu Ya, by your logic, you’ve never put your heart into raising Shifei, so she doesn’t matter to you—is that what it means?"

"What nonsense are you talking?" Xu Ya froze for a moment, wanting to refute him, but didn’t know how to respond.

She had invested so much in Yun Sisi—in terms of time, energy, and emotions—so naturally, she treated her as the best.

And as for Yun Shifei, she hadn’t put much effort into her and thus didn’t seem to care for her as much as Yun Sisi.

Is it like that?

It’s both true and not true.

Her bond with Yun Sisi was indeed much deeper.

Yun Tiancheng looked at Xu Ya. "You forgave Yun Sisi for such serious mistakes. For argument’s sake, if Shifei made the same mistakes, how would you treat her then?"

"When she didn’t do anything wrong before, you could even slap her. So, if she actually sold Sisi, you might even wish her dead. Ultimately, the weight of these two children in your heart is clearly not the same."

After saying this, Yun Tiancheng didn’t wait to hear what kind of justification Xu Ya would make.

He left quickly.

Xu Ya was left standing there, her heart feeling as if it had been tightly gripped by an unseen hand, causing unbearable pain.

She kept replaying Yun Tiancheng’s words in her mind.

How could she not understand what Yun Tiancheng meant? Isn’t that why she’s trying to change the state of things now?

Must Sisi be forced away for him to be satisfied?

If it came to that, Xu Ya thought, she would choose to abandon the marriage.

Because of her biological parents, Yun Sisi hadn’t been eating much these days. Her stress was visibly apparent.

Her chin looked even sharper, her eyes larger. She was already delicate-looking, and now she seemed like someone who could be blown over by the wind.

"Mom, are you really planning to hand me over to my biological parents?"

Yun Sisi frequently asked Xu Ya this question.

Seeing Yun Sisi’s poor state, Xu Ya continued to assure her repeatedly, "Sisi, Mom will never abandon you."

Yun Sisi was somewhat comforted but still knew that it wasn’t enough.

Because Yun Tiancheng hadn’t said any such-hearted words. Now his attitude toward her was entirely different from before.

Even when she deliberately tried to please him—making tea for him herself, buying books of his favorite genres—Yun Tiancheng only responded by politely thanking her, without any of his past affection or compliments about her being considerate.

Has everything really gone back to how it was?

Yun Sisi refused to give up just like that.

She even started treating Yun Shifei well. noveldrama

"Sister, have you finished your summer homework yet? Should I help you with it?"

Yun Sisi’s sudden kindness made Yun Shifei feel uneasy.

"I’ve finished it."

"Oh." Yun Sisi smiled brightly, "If you have any questions about studying, feel free to ask me."

After saying that, she returned to her room.

Leaving Yun Shifei behind in suspicion.

Yun Shifei could certainly sense Yun Sisi’s recent changes, but based on what she knew about Yun Sisi, these changes undoubtedly had motives.

Was it because her biological parents suddenly showed up, and she feared being expelled from the Yun Family?

To be honest, she couldn’t understand why Yun Sisi, who had grown up indulged and adored, could be so calculating.
