After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: The Last Chance Yun Tiancheng had actually thought it through.

He decided to send Yun Sisi back to her biological parents for them to take care of her. Before Yun Sisi turned eighteen, he would pay a monthly allowance for her upkeep.

He would also help them buy a house in South City, so that Xu Ya could visit Yun Sisi conveniently.

They just wouldn't live together anymore, but they could still meet whenever they missed each other.

Yun Tiancheng felt that he had thought through this matter as thoroughly as possible.

If it were someone else, an adopted daughter framing the biological daughter like this, they would likely kick the adopted daughter out without leaving her anything.

But Xu Ya did not think the sway.

At this moment, she continued, "Then I'd rather we live together, but not give Sisi anything at all. You don't know how afraid Sisi is of being separated from me. She keeps asking me, when will I stop being angry and when can she chome." Hearing this, Yun Tiancheng realized they couldn't continue this conversation any longer.

He let out a sigh and said, "Let's leave it at that, then. In the future, if you meet someone better, you can ask for a divorce. If I also meet someone I like, I will ask for a divorce too." This was his way of giving both himself and Xu Ya one last chance.

He truly couldn't understand how their years of affection had reached this point. Perhaps only theld the answer.

Xu Ya, hearing Yun Tiancheng's words, suddenly asked, "Have you fallen in love with another woman?" A woman's sixth sense is just that sharp; otherwise, Yun Tiancheng wouldn't make such a statement for no reason.

"Not right now, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. You know me-I'm in business and always dealing with all kinds of people." Yun Tiancheng's words felt like a blow of reality to Xu Ya. She stood up, her face pale.

"You're lying to me, aren't you? When we got married, didn't you say you'd treatwell for the rest of our lives?" Even though she and Yun Tiancheng had been living apart for so long, even though Yun Tiancheng used to talk about divorce all the time, Xu Ya had never felt particularly upset.

Because she knew there was a place for her in Yun Tiancheng's heart.

But now, Yun Tiancheng suddenly said he might fall in love with another woman in the future. Such a light, offhanded remark dragged Xu Ya into despair.

Because the level of detail in his words proved he had seriously considered this possibility.

She had been wrong.

She then heard Yun Tiancheng say, "I was wrong-life is so long, who knows what twists and turns might happen along the way." Xu Ya couldn't bear to hear more and walked out.

Yun Tiancheng didn't chase after her; he sat quietly in his seat, pulled a cigarette from its box, and put it between his lips.

"Shi Fei, you look absolutely stunning in this outfit." Old Mrs. Xu pulled Yun Shifei over to the fitting mirror. "Good thing I anticipated that you'd grow taller and had it tailored a bit larger. Now it fits you perfectly." The outfit Yun Shifei was wearing was one that Old Mrs. Xu had custom-made at a tailor shop.

The style was very similar to what Old Mrs. Xu herself wore a petite fur coat, dyed a subtle almond color. It was both luxurious and vintage.

Although the color was soft, Yun Shifei's striking features balanced it beautifully. She looked like a classical beauty in a painting.

The bottom half of her outfit was a matching skirt.

Staring at the sophisticated beauty reflected in the mirror, Yun Shifei blinked her eyes. It really did look nice. The skirt had a vintage touch, but being a modernized version, it wouldn't look out of place even on the streets. Additionally, the subdued color prevented it from looking overly extravagant. It suited her age perfectly.

Yun Shifei realized that Old Mrs. Xu had quite a personal style when it cto designing and assembling outfits. "Grandma, you could totally beca fashion designer," Yun Shifei said.

Old Mrs. Xu shook her head. "I only design my own clothes. I like one-of-a-kind pieces." Well, it wasn't surprising-the Xu family was affluent, after all.

Old Mrs. Xu smiled warmly as she studied Yun Shifei, looking her over from head to toe. In her eyes, she was stunning no matter where she looked.

"Shi Fei, your elegance is one in a million. Around here, I've yet to see a girl as outstanding as you." Yun Shifei blushed deeply at Old Mrs. Xu's praise.

"Grandma, I'm not nearly as good as you say I am," Yun Shifei demurred.

She was merely speaking the truth. How could she possess such "elegance"? Her grades weren't good, she had no artistic inclination, and her thoughts always revolved around ways to save money and plan for the future. She lived with a practical and clear-minded outlook.

Old Mrs. Xu strongly disagreed with Yun Shifei's self-assessment. She shook her head in exasperation.

"Look at you, look at you. I think your only flaw is that you're far too self-demeaning. Girls of the Xu family should be bold and confident. Just look at your cousin Jiaojiao, you should learn from her." Of course, Old Mrs. Xu also understood why Yun Shifei was the way she was.

It was surely because she had been abducted as a child. If she had been raised like Yun Sisi, she would probably have grown up to be just as outgoing and confident.

Thinking back to when Yun Shifei was little-so lively and spirited back then-there was no way she would have turned out as she was now.

This child had suffered immensely.

As Old Mrs. Xu pondered, a pang of sorrow welled up in her heart.

Yun Shifei changed back out of the clothes, and Old Mrs. Xu carefully folded them, packed them into a bag, and set it aside for Yun Shifei to take hlater.

@shi Thinking of the argument Xu Ya and Yun Tiancheng were likely having downstairs, she couldn't help but ask Yun Shifei, "Shi Fei, Grandma wants to ask you, how's your relationship with your mom these days?" She knew that for Xu Ya and Yun Tiancheng to improve their relationship, Yun Shifei's attitude would be key.

Yun Shifei shook her head and smiled bitterly. "Grandma, Mom doesn't like me." "I mean you-how do you feel about your mom?" Yun Shifei seemed to think for a moment before replying, "Since she doesn't like me, I've stopped liking her too." Such a blunt statement made Old Mrs. Xu's heart ache.

She reached out to lightly pat Yun Shifei's head. "Shi Fei, even if your mom doesn't like you, your dad adores you, and your grandparents love you too. Don't feel sad, okay?"

Based on Yun Shifei's actions and behavior, it was clear she was highly hurt sensitive After being hurt by Xu Ya tand tagain, she no longer harbored any expectations for her. This child was as stubborn as her grandmother. When someone was kind to her, she repaid that kindness tenfold. But if someone disliked her, she would reflect that dislike back.

Old Mrs. Xu could only feel a headache coming on. Forget it, forget it—she was getting old and couldn't worry about Xu Ya forever.

If Xu Ya refused to let go of Yun Sisi, then she could forget about winning Yun Shifei's affection in this lifetime. Still, Old Mrs. Xu adored Yun Shifei deeply.

She said, "Shi Fei, even if your parents get divorced in the future, don't forget about Grandma. Remember to visitoften, okay?" Yun Shifei had originally thought Old Mrs. Xu would defend Xu Ya and urge her to reconcile with Xu Ya and Yun Tiancheng.

She'd even been mulling over how to respond to that.

Unexpectedly, Old Mrs. Xu didn't bring up any of that. Instead, she spoke about the possibility of Xu Ya and Yun Tiancheng's divorce as if it were inevitable.

Her grandma was so understanding and considerate of her feelings.

Yun Shifei couldn't help but smile and nod in agreement.
