After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 343: Ruin Him

Again, it’s him. Cheng Lie’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, his expression extraordinarily cold.

He thought again about the so-called secret between Yun Shifei and Mu Chengzhu. Yun Shifei refused to talk, while Mu Chengzhu deliberately provoked him.

There was no way he could test Mu Chengzhu anymore. Every time Mu Chengzhu confronted him, he remained highly alert, leaving Cheng Lie unable to make a move.

Besides, during their last meeting, Mu Chengzhu gave him an exceptionally strange feeling, as if he saw through everything.

The Mu Chengzhu of the past wasn’t like this. Ever since he came to Beijing to find Yun Shifei, he had become strange.

On Yun Shifei’s side, he couldn’t make a move either.

The only certainty was that she left him because she was threatened. So now, being so close to Mu Chengzhu, what exactly was her intention?

Cheng Lie felt he should personally confront Yun Shifei to clarify things, but he also knew she wouldn’t tell him.

Back then, she could heartbreakingly break up with him. Now, there was even less possibility.

She probably thought breaking up was for his own good. Yun Shifei may seem easygoing on the surface, but she was stubborn at her core. Once she set her mind on something, she would see it through.

Just like when she was studying, enduring harsh winters and scorching summers, waking up early and staying up late—she steadfastly pursued her academic goals.

But soon, Cheng Lie found out the answer.

Yun Shifei reached out to him again via the chatroom.

"Cheng Cheng, do you know how to make an admirer—who you don’t like—stay away from you?"

Cheng Lie stared at the line of text in silence for a moment.

Yun Shifei had been so cold to Mu Chengzhu in the past, yet he liked her. Now, he was even threatening her to break up with him.

"Right now, I’m pretending to accept his goodwill, having him send me all sorts of expensive gifts, stringing him along. Do you think it’s a very bad thing to do?" Yun Shifei, for the first time doing such a thing, felt a bit uneasy.

It wasn’t something she could easily talk about with others, so this anonymous online friend became her confidant.

"It’s fine."

After a while, Yun Shifei saw Cheng Cheng reply with those two words.

Seeing her affirmation, Yun Shifei felt slightly reassured.

"If it were you, what would you do?" she couldn’t help but ask again.

She lacked experience in this area and wanted to hear someone else’s opinion, especially this Cheng Cheng, who seemed to have gone through similar experiences and might have something valuable to share.

Soon, another line popped up in the chat box: "I’d completely ruin him."

Ruin him?

Yun Shifei was somewhat shocked and suddenly realized that this girl seemed cold and ruthless. She didn’t speak much, but when she did, it hit home.

Without knowing anything, she suggested ruining a man who liked her?

Did that make sense?

But Yun Shifei didn’t dwell on it, because she too wanted to ruin Mu Chengzhu. He acted so arrogant, thinking he was untouchable just because he held some leverage.

But she wasn’t that capable. Mu Chengzhu had lived longer, carried memories of a past life, and was a sly old fox. She felt she couldn’t outplay him in her current state.

So, Yun Shifei said, "Your suggestion isn’t very practical. Anyway, Cheng Cheng, are you studying computer science? Do you like it? Do you have any plans to start a business?"

She thought perhaps if Cheng Cheng was also interested in computer science, they could meet up and discuss it. Maybe they could even start a business together.

"Do you want to start a business?" Cheng Cheng replied with a counter-question.

"Yes, I have a bold idea. Are you free? Let’s pick a restaurant to meet up someday." Yun Shifei had already developed a good impression of Cheng Cheng.

Even though they hadn’t met, their chats felt incredibly natural, as if there was no distance between them. They could talk about anything.

Who knows, they might even become like-minded partners in the future.

Cheng Lie considered for a moment and then replied, "Okay."

"When?"

"I’m busy these days..." Cheng Lie typed out a reply, "Maybe next month."

"Alright."

Yun Shifei didn’t think much of it. None of her roommates had considered advancing in this field, so finding someone who shared her passion was something she intended to cherish.

She glanced at her web design; the framework was already taking shape. Although the current state of the internet was still basic, she believed with time and technological advancement, it would grow more sophisticated.

Meanwhile, Cheng Lie placed his design draft aside and said to Zhao Pan, who had just entered, "I remember Mu Chengzhu’s father runs a trading company, right?"

In South City, located on the eastern coast, most of the businesses were trading companies. In South City, those with wealth often succeeded by riding the wave of new policies, growing numerous trading companies of varying sizes.

Yun Shifei’s father was one of them, as was Cheng Guomin back then.

Zhao Pan nodded, "Their family mainly focuses on exporting to overseas markets."

Cheng Lie made a sound of acknowledgment.

Export companies in South City were numerous, and they were often in competition with one another.

Cheng Lie targeted another company of comparable scale to the Mu Family.

These days, Yun Shifei started actively reaching out to Mu Chengzhu, asking for everything from food to expensive jewelry.

Mu Chengzhu agreed to her requests every time.

Yun Shifei sold everything he sent her, turning it into cash, and donated it to welfare institutes or children in impoverished areas. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

After asking for several things, one day Mu Chengzhu called her. His voice sounded weary: "Shi Fei, there’s a problem with my dad’s company."

"What problem?"

"Export orders have suddenly dropped sharply, and the company’s funds are struggling to turn around."

A rival export trading company suddenly began offering goods at much lower prices, high quality and low cost. Foreign buyers weren’t foolish; they abandoned the Mu Family’s company and opted for the rival instead.

In truth, South City had many export trading companies, but those operating at Mu Family’s scale were previously limited to the Cheng Family and now their competitor, the Xie Family.

Mu Chengzhu couldn’t understand how things had come to this.

This sort of thing never happened in his past life.

Hearing Mu Chengzhu’s distress, Yun Shifei suddenly recalled Cheng Cheng’s words from not long ago.

She had asked Cheng Cheng how to deal with an unwanted admirer constantly pursuing her, and Cheng Cheng had said to ruin him!

At the time, she thought it was impossible, but now it seemed like someone really intended to ruin him...

Yun Shifei suddenly felt that everything was so bizarre, as if it wasn’t happening in real life.

In her past life, she had never heard of Mu Chengzhu encountering such issues.

From Mu Chengzhu’s tone, it seemed like this was a sudden occurrence.

But what did this have to do with her? Right now, her facade in front of Mu Chengzhu was that of a vain, materialistic woman!

So, she said, "Mu Chengzhu, are you trying to elicit sympathy from me because you can’t afford what I want anymore?"

"I just want to replace my phone, that’s all. Are you not even willing to give me that?"

Her tone deliberately became sharp and aggressive; she wanted to be as annoying as possible.
