After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Yun Sisi’s Biological Parents

Old Mrs. Xu held Yun Shifei in her arms, her heart filled with nothing but pain and sorrow.

This girl—she thought she was perfect in every way. But she was just too obedient, too kind.

She worried that when the girl stepped into society one day, she’d be exposed to too much treachery and cruelty.

Yun Family.

Ever since Yun Sisi returned home with Xu Ya and Yun Tiancheng, she hadn’t spoken a single word.

She knew she’d done something wrong, and no matter how much she argued, they wouldn’t believe her.

All she could do was stay silent, wait, and see what Xu Ya and Yun Tiancheng had to say.

As soon as they entered the door.

Xu Ya erupted first.

"Yun Sisi, you’ve truly disappointed me. How could you do something like that? She’s your sister! Do you even realize that if you had succeeded, I would’ve called the police, and you would have ended up behind bars?"

Xu Ya’s sharp voice made Yun Sisi’s heart tremble.

At the time, when she acted that way, she hadn’t considered the consequences.

She just wanted to teach Yun Shifei a lesson, to restore her life to the way it was before Yun Shifei appeared.

She had never stopped to think about the price that would come with her actions.

"I..." Yun Sisi hung her head low, looking pitiful.

Xu Ya thought about how Yun Sisi’s actions were likely driven by the return of Yun Shifei, which had robbed her of the love she once had.

Unable to hold back, Xu Ya said, "Sisi, think back to when Shi Fei returned. How did I treat her? How did I treat you? I was clearly better to you than to her! How could you still do such a thing?"

It was as if a dagger had been stabbed straight into her heart.

A daughter she’d raised for more than ten years, one she thought was perfect in every way—her thoughts turned out to be so vicious.

Yun Sisi could sense the disappointment in Xu Ya’s tone, something she had never heard before. Unable to hold back, she began to cry.

"Mom, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I’ll never treat my sister like that again. I’ll sincerely apologize to her and make it up to her with actions."

Seeing Yun Sisi cry, Xu Ya felt a pang of heartache, but she knew that if she wasn’t firm, Yun Sisi wouldn’t learn her lesson.

Yun Tiancheng, however, simply stood to the side, watching. He didn’t show the slightest intention of speaking. noveldrama

When they went to their room to rest, Yun Tiancheng turned to Xu Ya and said, "What do you think about what Sisi did? Are you still going to cover for her?"

Xu Ya could hear the suspicion in Yun Tiancheng’s tone. Although she was indeed biased toward Yun Sisi, it wasn’t to the point of covering for her after she had done something so heinous.

"Yun Tiancheng, I am not the kind of person you think I am. If Sisi has done something wrong, then she has to face the consequences of her actions."

"As long as you can say that, I’m reassured." Yun Tiancheng’s gaze lingered on Xu Ya’s face, as if trying to discern whether she was being honest or not.

After a long pause, he said, "In the past, the way Sisi treated Shi Fei was just petty squabbling. I could turn a blind eye. But now, what she’s done has crossed my line. She’s fifteen this year—three years from adulthood. Once she turns eighteen, she’ll be on her own."

Upon hearing Yun Tiancheng’s words, Xu Ya couldn’t help but widen her eyes in shock. "What are you saying?"

"As her guardians, we’re only obligated to provide for her until she’s of age. After that, whatever she wants to do is none of my business."

Her actions had already severed any remaining semblance of a father-daughter bond between them.

From now on, Yun Tiancheng felt he would no longer be Yun Sisi’s father.

Yun Shifei—she was his final limit.

Xu Ya found it hard to believe.

"Sisi didn’t manage to pull it off, did she?" Besides, while eighteen marked adulthood, how could kids at that age compare to when they were older?

Yun Sisi had been pampered and raised with privilege her entire life; suddenly cutting her off at eighteen would be too cruel.

When she heard Xu Ya try to defend Yun Sisi, Yun Tiancheng let out a cold laugh. "If you don’t agree, then you can take Yun Sisi and live with her yourselves."

Xu Ya felt a chill under Yun Tiancheng’s piercing gaze. After a long silence, she finally responded, "Why do you keep bringing up divorce with me? Have I disappointed you as well?"

Who puts divorce on the table day after day?

Originally, their relationship had almost healed after their trip to Nantian Town, but now everything was unraveling again.

"Yes, because you’ve repeatedly protected her. Do you remember what you did when Shi Fei made mistakes in the past? You didn’t hesitate to slap her—every time. But Yun Sisi? You wouldn’t even speak to her harshly, let alone hit her. You might not see Shi Fei as your daughter, but I treat her as mine. What gives you the right to keep bullying her like this?"

As they argued, tension escalated until they entered a full-blown fight.

Once the fight was over, Yun Tiancheng grabbed his belongings and stormed out.

He left Xu Ya alone in the room.

She collapsed onto the bed, overcome with a sense of helplessness.

How had it come to this? They were always arguing over the children.

She admitted that she hadn’t been fair to Yun Shifei.

But where had Yun Tiancheng been fair to Yun Sisi?

When Yun Tiancheng stepped outside, he happened to run into Cheng Guomin, who was just getting back.

Seeing the anger on Yun Tiancheng’s face, Cheng Guomin asked, "What’s wrong? Had a fight with your wife?"

Yun Tiancheng couldn’t help but sigh deeply and nod.

"Come on, let’s grab a bite and chat."

Now that they were business partners, it wasn’t unusual for them to cross paths often—and naturally, there’d be moments of concern.

Late at night, Cheng Guomin came home reeking of alcohol.

Zhao Haishuang noticed and couldn’t help but scold him: "Didn’t you say you’d come home early tonight? Didn’t you promise not to drink so much? Just look at yourself."

"It’s because Tiancheng was in a bad mood, so I drank with him."

"What happened to him?"

"He left both of his daughters at their grandmother’s place. The adopted one tried to arrange for the biological one to be abducted again but got caught in the act."

"I can’t believe it. That adopted daughter looks so sweet every time I see her, even calling me with such a cute voice. But deep down she’s this kind of person?"

"You can know someone’s face, but not their heart." Cheng Guomin chuckled.

Who wasn’t like that, after all—even them.

Zhao Haishuang didn’t say more.

They’d lived through worse things; this kind of drama amounted to nothing for them.

Meanwhile, Cheng Lie, while walking down to the kitchen for some water, overheard everything.

The teenager stood quietly, dressed in pale blue checkered pajamas.

His expression was cold, his dark eyes as deep as the abyss, capable of consuming the night.

He thought about it—he hadn’t seen Yun Shifei in days, yet she was already being bullied.

She was timid; when bullied, she’d probably cried.

She wouldn’t even have been able to fight back.

It was worrisome.

He wondered if she was hurt.

His brows furrowed at the thought.

Then his mind shifted to Yun Sisi.

Why would she dare bully Yun Shifei—and so viciously?

Hadn’t the last lesson been enough?

Target the weak spot—kill the snake at its head. Cheng Lie couldn’t even be bothered to deal with her himself.

Returning to his room, he sent out a text.

"Find Yun Sisi’s biological parents for me."
