After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 443: Are You Looking for Trouble with Me Again?

Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Are You Looking for Trouble with Me Again?

Xu Ya nodded slightly.

Yun Sisi continued, "I had a dream before, where a celestial being from the heavens told me I was the child of destiny and revealed many, many things to me. That’s why I’ve been able to help them reverse their fortunes."

When Xu Ya heard Yun Sisi’s words, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows, and the way she looked at Yun Sisi changed.

Yun Sisi noticed the change in Xu Ya’s gaze and curled her lips in satisfaction. She knew it—whenever people heard what she said, they would find it extraordinary. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

When they looked at her, it was always with admiration.

This was who she used to be—standing tall above everyone else, commanding their reverence.

But Yun Sisi did not realize that Xu Ya was looking at her as if she were someone out of her mind.

Xu Ya thought to herself, after all, she was a university graduate and a firm atheist.

The fantastical things Yun Sisi was saying—she would sooner believe it was survivor’s bias. Perhaps Yun Sisi had made predictions before, and only a small fraction of them had come true, which she now flaunted endlessly.

To be honest, Yun Sisi was someone she had raised herself. Although her transformation had taken Xu Ya by surprise, she more or less understood her motivations.

It was nothing more than a desire to make others admire her.

Although Xu Ya didn’t believe her, she still wanted to find out more about what was going on with Yun Tiancheng, so she continued the conversation with Yun Sisi: "So, is this how you discovered Tiancheng’s illness?"

Even to this point, they refused to acknowledge her as their daughter, despite the fact that she had helped them with such a significant issue.

Yun Sisi felt a little bitter inside but still put on an obedient facade.

"Yes."

Xu Ya was skeptical. She didn’t dare to outright believe that Yun Sisi was lying.

After all, she did have a history of fabrications, and what she was saying now was so far-fetched, it made everything feel dubious.

But Xu Ya could think of no other possibility. Sitting for a while longer, she eventually excused herself and left.

Yun Sisi sat in her seat, fuming with anger.

Xu Ya actually didn’t believe her?! Hmph, just wait and see—she would make her believe, no matter what.

Xu Ya thought about Yun Tiancheng’s illness and decided that since Yun Shifei was currently attending school in Beijing, it was best not to inform her for now. If the illness wasn’t too severe, they could treat it and casually mention it next time Yun Shifei called.

But Yun Sisi couldn’t wait any longer.

Upon learning that Yun Tiancheng was unwell, Yun Sisi immediately called Yun Shifei.

A clueless Yun Shifei picked up the call. Upon hearing that something had happened to Yun Tiancheng, she immediately asked, "What did you do?"

Hearing Yun Shifei’s accusatory tone, Yun Sisi frowned. "What could I have done? I can’t even get close to him. You should be asking yourself—why didn’t you stop Dad when he was smoking?"

It must have been the smoking that ruined his health.

Yun Shifei didn’t want to talk further with Yun Sisi, hung up the phone, and immediately bought a ticket to return to South City the next morning.

In this world, there weren’t many people who treated her well. Yun Tiancheng was one of the first to give her warmth.

Xu Ya might not have been a good mother, but Yun Tiancheng was undoubtedly a good father.

But now... lung cancer?

Yun Shifei remembered that in her previous life, Yun Tiancheng was always healthy.

Then again, in her previous life, she had died just a couple of years later...

And lung cancer usually only manifested in its late stages, after several years had passed.

Now that it had been discovered this soon, she didn’t know whether to feel relieved or to despair.

Yun Shifei wiped her eyes and began packing her luggage.

She also called Cheng Lie to inform him about Yun Tiancheng’s health condition.

After listening to her recount what had happened, Cheng Lie reminded her to take care of herself.

After hanging up, he stared at the dense numbers on his computer screen. If he weren’t caught up in a pressing project with an approaching deadline, he would have liked to go with Yun Shifei.

After all, this was her father who had fallen ill.

The next day, Yun Shifei arrived in South City. Yun Tiancheng had just undergone surgery to extract a sample of the affected tissue for further testing.

Under anesthesia, he woke up in the hospital room to see Yun Shifei standing there unexpectedly. He frowned. "Why are you here?"

"Dad, I was worried about you," Yun Shifei said.

Seeing her anxious expression, Yun Tiancheng couldn’t bring himself to scold her. He had initially wanted to say there was no need to come back before the test results were out, that she was overreacting.

But seeing Yun Shifei on the verge of tears, Yun Tiancheng’s heart softened. He couldn’t bear to reprimand her and simply reassured her that he was fine and that the further tests would surely prove to be a false alarm.

Yun Shifei remained uneasy. Since the test results would come out in two days, she decided to stay around for that time.

She had already taken a week-long leave from school, after all.

Yun Sisi also learned that Yun Shifei had returned to South City. She was ecstatic.

As expected, she knew that once Yun Shifei found out about Yun Tiancheng’s situation, she would rush back from Beijing.

Perfect. This was her chance to prove herself to Cheng Lie.

She also wanted Yun Shifei to know that, no matter how many lifetimes she lived, she would always be nothing more than a defeated pawn under her feet, not even worthy to polish her shoes.

And what’s more—she had died so soon in her previous life. Just a short-lived wretch.

Yun Shifei stayed in the hospital room for a while before Yun Tiancheng shooed her away, telling her to go home and rest.

Xu Ya persuaded her as well, so Yun Shifei reluctantly dragged her luggage and got into the car to head back home.

On the way, she couldn’t stop pondering—why do people have to get sick?

Old Mrs. Xu was always falling ill, and now Yun Tiancheng was sick too.

She really had to pray sincerely to the heavens, hoping her family could stay healthy and safe. She also hoped this was all just a false alarm.

When she arrived home and put her luggage away, she suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

When she went to open the door, Yun Sisi stood there with a bright smile.

Today, Yun Sisi was wearing a light purple long dress, exuding an air of sophistication and wealth.

Yun Shifei noticed Yun Sisi’s demeanor had changed.

In the past, Yun Sisi loved playing the delicate flower, always putting on a frail and pitiable act.

But now, her eyes radiated blatant arrogance, as if Yun Shifei was nothing more than dirt beneath her feet.

Yun Sisi looked at Yun Shifei, noticing the confusion in her gaze, and felt even more triumphant inside.

Right now, Yun Shifei must be wondering how she had changed so much.

Yes, she had indeed changed.

Changed into what she had become by the end of the previous life.

That version of her? Yun Shifei probably hadn’t seen it before.

"So, you’re back," Yun Sisi said.

Yun Shifei responded with a nonchalant "Mm." "Do you need something?"

"Sister, you’re so cold-hearted. Can’t sisters just catch up for a bit?"

Yun Shifei glanced at Yun Sisi. "So, what trouble are you planning to stir up for me this time?"

Hearing Yun Shifei’s blunt question, Yun Sisi momentarily didn’t know how to respond.

Of course, she was going to continue causing trouble for Yun Shifei, but in a more covert way, so she wouldn’t get caught red-handed.

"Oh, nothing much. Just wanted to let you know that everything you have now—your love, your family, your friendships—will soon be gone."
