After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 340: She’s Jealous Again!

Her appearance overlapped with her past life, causing Mu Chengzhu to feel somewhat conflicted.

In her past life, Yun Sisi had never endured such hardships. She was always the treasured gem held dearly by Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya. Let alone wandering, she had never worked as a receptionist in front of a hotel.

Moreover, in her past life, Yun Sisi likely led a smooth life where everyone listened to her. Therefore, her temperament wasn’t exactly good—she often lost her temper with him. Yet back then, he enjoyed the moments when she acted a bit spoiled and petty towards him.

Back then, how could he have liked someone like that? Mu Chengzhu couldn’t help but shake his head.

This life’s Yun Sisi now seemed much more pleasing to the eye. Look, no matter how he treated her, she always appeared full of vitality and greeted him enthusiastically every time they met.

He was almost softening.

The reason Yun Sisi didn’t get angry was because she’d endured far, far too much recently.

Song Yang broke up with her completely, saying he no longer liked her.

No matter how she begged, he simply ignored her.

At the time, she was so panicked and afraid of losing her long-term support. She even went to Song Yang’s door, only to be chased away by his mother.

Alongside Song Yang’s mother stood the woman who liked Song Yang. With a chilling gaze, the woman stared at her and said she would never allow Yun Sisi to use Song Yang again.

This enraged Yun Sisi to no end.

But she was no longer the Yun Sisi of the past—the one who could merely act weak and attract hordes of admirers.

During that period, having lost Song Yang’s financial support, Yun Sisi experienced the darkest time of her life.

She had to go home every day to help her biological parents with chores. Liu Congfang even suggested she use her weekends to tutor students, earning more money to bring home.

At the time, Yun Sisi adamantly refused; she hated doing such tiring work.

But in the end, forced by the plummeting quality of life, she relented.

Those exhausting days brought little income. Returning to the dim, cramped home, Yun Sisi felt utterly miserable.

Having grown accustomed to life in the clouds, living on the dirt was unbearable.

She grew increasingly resentful of Yun Shifei and especially hated Yun Tiancheng, Xu Ya, Mu Chengzhu, Song Yang—she hated all of them!

Every night, she dreamed of enslaving them.

Her intense hatred seemed to make the dream scenes increasingly vivid and real.

Finally, one day, she had an epiphany—could it be that all of this wasn’t merely a dream, but real events?

In the dream, she was the protagonist of a novel—growing up in an orphanage before being adopted by a wealthy couple, leading a good life for some time.

But later, Yun Shifei appeared and began vying for attention. Yet, as the novel’s protagonist, she naturally shone with the protagonist’s aura, easily defeating Yun Shifei. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

In the dream, Mu Chengzhu liked her from beginning to end, even going so far as to kill Yun Shifei for her. They happily stayed together forever.

As for Song Yang, in earlier parts of the plot, he hadn’t had such a strong presence. His sole purpose was to make Mu Chengzhu insanely jealous, thus deepening his love for her.

Thinking about how she was kissed and embraced by a mere throwaway character like him disgusted her.

Her subconscious told her that to regain her previous life, she had to do something. She couldn’t continue committing senseless misdeeds like before.

For example, working as a receptionist in front of the hotel was an idea she painstakingly came up with.

This hotel was five-star, frequented by wealthy individuals. If a rich young master took a fancy to her, she could escape her current dark and hopeless life.

But Yun Sisi wasn’t completely sure whether the things in her dreams were real or fake.

After all, her current life had deviated completely from the original plot. Just look at how miserable she was now.

Thus, to verify, she had to use events from the dream that hadn’t yet occurred in reality.

What happened in the dream but hadn’t happened yet in reality...

She remembered, Mu Chengzhu had begun taking over their company during his third year of college. Personal relationships could change, but this detail—which wasn’t tied to interpersonal dynamics—shouldn’t have changed much, right?

Therefore, when she saw Mu Chengzhu today, she still greeted him warmly.

It’s not that she didn’t dislike how Mu Chengzhu had treated her recently—it was just that she felt Mu Chengzhu might be the only one who could help her change her fate.

If she could make Mu Chengzhu fall for her and they loved each other as before, would the storyline then return?

Mu Chengzhu nodded at her.

Yun Sisi suddenly rubbed her arm. "It’s so cold."

"Wear more," Mu Chengzhu said.

Why can’t you just take off your jacket and let me wear it? Yun Sisi thought angrily.

But of course, she couldn’t say it aloud. Mu Chengzhu liked her because of her delicate and innocent demeanor.

This was how she had initially captivated Mu Chengzhu.

When had things gone wrong?

It was Yun Shifei! Yes, it went wrong with Yun Shifei.

But Yun Shifei was in Beijing now, so far away. She’d deal with her later.

For now, facing Mu Chengzhu, Yun Sisi still pretended to be understanding. "Brother Mu, you don’t know—our hotel has a rule. We can only wear uniforms at work."

Seeing her pitiful, aggrieved look, Mu Chengzhu instantly saw through her act.

He couldn’t fathom Yun Sisi’s thought process. Despite being exposed countless times, how did she keep putting on a show?

Mu Chengzhu didn’t want to say more and replied coldly, "I’m leaving first."

Watching Mu Chengzhu’s retreating figure, Yun Sisi clenched her fists. "I had you wrapped around my finger before. You won’t escape my grasp this time!"

She thought of the impending crisis in the Mu Family. If she stepped up to resolve it, Mu Chengzhu should be very grateful to her.

Meanwhile, Yun Shifei attended class every day and regularly saw Cheng Lie.

Cheng Lie’s class times were either very early or during the last two periods.

Yu Liantao gave a puzzled look. "Why does he attend class so sporadically? Can he really understand the material like that?"

Yun Shifei immediately shot her a sidelong glance. "Are you doubting the abilities of a genius?"

"I’m not! I didn’t! Don’t say that!" Yu Liantao immediately waved her hands. "I just... my perspective is too ordinary to understand how geniuses work."

After a pause, Yu Liantao’s eyes lit up. "Oh—just now you were defending him. Do you still like him?"

Yun Shifei: "???"

Had she fallen into a trap?

Yun Shifei noticed that, aside from their first class where she coincidentally sat next to Cheng Lie, every time after that, a different girl sat beside Cheng Lie.

Whenever her gaze glanced over, she’d see them chatting.

She felt so jealous!
