After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 446: Aren’t You Quite Pleased with Yourself?

Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Aren’t You Quite Pleased with Yourself?

"""

The next day, South City’s largest entertainment newspaper published gossip about Mu Chengzhu, even placing it on the front page.

After all, the tip-off came directly from the involved party, making the accuracy highly credible.

Besides, with Yun Shifei’s demeanor, they quite believed what she said.

Mu Chengzhu learned about this matter through his assistant.

He stared at the newspaper, his brows tightly knit.

He could almost picture Yun Shifei’s expression when she spoke to the reporters—probably looking innocent and troubled.

That expression of hers could indeed fool many people.

Mu Chengzhu pressed his lips together and instructed his assistant, "Handle it."

"Understood," the assistant replied promptly.

But the speed of handling newspapers was never that fast. Although they went to the press and called for a halt, collecting newspapers from kiosks across the city still required considerable effort.

By that time, plenty of people had already read the gossip about Mu Chengzhu.

Mu Chengzhu had no choice but to issue a statement, claiming the matter was completely fabricated.

At this moment, Su Ni also saw the report. She couldn’t help but ask Song Yang, "What does Sister Shifei mean by this?"

Song Yang glanced at the newspaper and sneered, "It’s just payback for that bastard Mu Chengzhu. I heard Yun Shifei hadn’t been back for more than a few days, and he already went knocking on her door."

"He’s already married! How could he still act like this?" Su Ni was completely baffled.

That’s just how men are. Song Yang himself had once been a scumbag and knew men like this all too well.

The unattainable always seems ideal, but once obtained, it may no longer feel special.

All he desires is to fulfill the lingering wish for what he couldn’t have.

Song Yang didn’t say anything further or attempt to explain. He thought, better not let his little girl know how dark the world can be.

Unexpectedly, Su Ni raised her serene eyes to look at him: "Will you be like that? You used to like Yun Sisi."

Su Ni had seen how much Song Yang liked Yun Sisi back then.

He had even been ruthless towards her for Yun Sisi. Remembering this, Su Ni felt a twinge of fear.

Song Yang didn’t expect Su Ni to start suspecting him.

But her suspicion wasn’t entirely baseless. After all, he had once lost his head over Yun Sisi, doing many irrational things.

"Baby, rest assured. I, Song Yang, swear I will never become someone like Mu Chengzhu, craving what’s on the table while eyeing the pot. If I ever betray you, I’d be struck down by lightning."

"Alright, alright, promise me if you must, but don’t swear such harsh oaths!" Song Yang’s words startled Su Ni, who quickly covered his mouth.

Truth be told, even if Song Yang were to betray her one day, she wouldn’t have the heart to see him die.

She had always hoped he would live well, happily and contentedly.

Seeing Su Ni’s usually cold face turn slightly panicked, with her hands covering his mouth, Song Yang found Su Ni utterly amusing.

It was just a vow, but her nervousness was truly endearing.

Thinking about this, Song Yang couldn’t resist leaning forward and gently biting her fingertips.

The light nibble sent a jolt through Su Ni, who immediately withdrew her hand.

Song Yang lowered his head and captured Su Ni’s lips.

This little girl—although she always appeared fierce on the outside, she was as docile as can be in front of him.

Having chosen her back then, Song Yang decided he would never let her down in this lifetime.

And Yun Sisi? She was nothing more than a relic of the past.

That such a trivial matter involving Mu Chengzhu almost startled his baby today angered Song Yang.

Song Yang resolved to teach Mu Chengzhu a lesson and make it clear to everyone that he was entirely different from Mu Chengzhu.

He arranged for the gossip about Mu Chengzhu to spread further across major newspapers, leveraging his identity as Mu Chengzhu’s former classmate to validate Yun Shifei’s statements. It couldn’t have been easier.

Thus, on the same day Mu Chengzhu issued his clarification statement, evidence from his classmates at Xinhua Middle School surfaced, confirming Yun Shifei’s accusations.

Who could it be?

Mu Chengzhu was so enraged that his temples throbbed.

Could Yun Shifei have anticipated his rebuttal and enlisted someone to strike back?

She really played her hand well.

The attack came swiftly and ruthlessly.

Yun Shifei, however, hadn’t expected further developments. Originally, she planned to release more scandals if the matter subsided quickly.

For instance, the fact that he installed a pinhole camera—people’s fear of unfamiliar things would only amplify this. Coupled with the fact that he gifted her such a device, though she hadn’t accepted it, it could still serve as evidence.

In any case, psychological studies show that while people may initially seek the truth, as events unfold, their focus shifts.

In the end, they don’t care about the resolution—they only latch onto the other person’s negative buzz.

Just like the modern saying: "A rumor takes seconds to spread, but clearing it up takes forever."

What’s more, her claims were rooted in fact and hardly classified as rumors.

This incident also caught the Yun Family’s attention.

Chen Min, upon seeing the news, was angry and couldn’t understand why Yun Shifei was acting like this.

Simply because Mu Chengzhu drunkenly went to the wrong door recently, was it necessary to blow things out of proportion?

Chen Min couldn’t fathom it. In her memory, Yun Shifei had been a timid and gentle child. How had she suddenly turned into someone so unpredictable?

Mu Jiayu was equally enraged. This Yun Shifei was too despicable, resorting to such underhanded tactics.

Eventually, they turned to Yun Sisi: "Sisi, what’s going on with your sister? Can you talk to her and tell her to stop spreading rumors?"

"I..." Yun Sisi wanted to say something but hesitated when she saw the earnest looks from Chen Min and Mu Jiayu, as if all their hopes rested on her.

She couldn’t say much anymore.

What choice did she have? She could only go speak to Yun Shifei.

Yun Sisi took the initiative to visit the Yun Family and find Yun Shifei.

In two days, Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya would be discharged and return home, which meant Yun Shifei would likely head back to Beijing.

She knew she couldn’t delay for too long, as delays would only worsen the situation.

"Sister, I’m begging you, let Chengzhu off the hook. He didn’t mean it." Compared to her arrogant demeanor days ago, Yun Sisi seemed entirely subdued in front of Yun Shifei now.

Because this scenario hadn’t existed in her past life, and Yun Shifei, being someone reborn, wasn’t likely to fall for unreliable tactics.

After much thought, Yun Sisi could only plead and act pitiful.

Hearing Yun Sisi’s words, Yun Shifei smirked, "Weren’t you quite pleased with yourself a couple days ago?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Her eyes gleamed provocatively, half-smiling, with a trace of mockery lingering on her lips.
