After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 437 The Original Koi

She knew that fatherly love is something irreplaceable.

She wanted Cheng Lie to experience fatherly love as well.

After thinking it over, she could only come up with this idea.

Yun Tiancheng really is a qualified father; she believed he could treat Cheng Lie like a son too.

Cheng Lie heard Yun Shifei’s words and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He remembered how Yun Tiancheng had once looked at him with such tender affection, even entertaining the idea of taking him as a godson.

But, a son-in-law and a son are ultimately two different things.

"I just want to be your dad’s son-in-law, not his son."

Poof...

Cheng Lie’s words left Yun Shifei momentarily speechless.

She struggled out of Cheng Lie’s embrace: "I suddenly remembered there’s a technical issue I don’t know how to handle. Can you take a look for me?"

Seeing her look a little embarrassed, Cheng Lie couldn’t help but smile: "Alright."

He wouldn’t push her too hard. After all, she’d already landed in his arms; the rest could be dealt with slowly.

But, no matter how slowly, it wouldn’t take too long.

When Yun Sisi returned to South City, the stark contrast between her past life and her current one made her depressed and a bit paranoid.

It shouldn’t be like this; she was supposed to be a chosen one.

It shouldn’t be like this; everything Yun Shifei had now was supposed to be hers...

During this time, Yun Sisi had been thinking a lot.

She couldn’t stand seeing Yun Shifei living so well now. She wanted to take action against Yun Shifei, but even when she’d confronted Cheng Lie and spoken ill of Yun Shifei, Cheng Lie didn’t seem to believe her.

So, how could she prove herself?

Yun Sisi couldn’t resist imagining the things Cheng Lie might invent in the future.

Maybe she could bring this idea to Cheng Lie; perhaps he’d believe what she said.

But actually, there was another way.

Yun Sisi suspected that Yun Shifei must know about their past lives, which was why she could plan so meticulously in this one.

Ha, just a character doomed to insignificance in a story. Even with memories of her past life, how could an extra ever become the heroine?

Looking in the mirror at herself, Yun Sisi realized that after taking good care of herself recently, even though her mental state wasn’t great, she still looked as beautiful as a flower.

The fragile kind, a delicate little white flower. Her pale complexion only made her seem all the more pitiful.

But unfortunately, no one in South City pitied her.

Mu Chengzhu didn’t like her; now they only saw each other every few days.

Mu Jiayu’s relationship with her had also grown cold.

She wondered if it was because they’d been living together, and the charm created by distance had completely faded.

Yun Sisi thought, if they didn’t like her, she wouldn’t like them either.

Instead, Yun Sisi often went to find Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya.

Even though Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya didn’t love her, Yun Sisi still treated them well.

"Dad, you smoke often; it’s bad for your health. You should go for a physical check-up at least every six months," Yun Sisi said to Yun Tiancheng.

If she remembered correctly, many years later—shortly after Yun Shifei’s death, in fact—Yun Tiancheng was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer.

The long-term smoking had caused this illness.

Yun Tiancheng didn’t take Yun Sisi’s words seriously, but she repeated them enough that Xu Ya remembered.

She thought Yun Tiancheng was indeed the type who didn’t care much about his own health.

When work got busy, staying up late and working overtime was normal for him.

He drank a lot of strong tea and coffee, and smoked heavily too.

She felt Yun Tiancheng’s lifestyle was way too unhealthy, so she insisted he go for an annual physical examination.

After Yun Sisi spoke to Yun Tiancheng, she thought about how to win over Chen Min.

Chen Min was attending a gathering. Yun Sisi thought about it and remembered that at this particular gathering, wearing a burgundy dress adorned with sequins would be the most eye-catching.

Back then, a wealthy lady had worn such a dress at the gathering, and many people had asked her who designed it. Eventually, the wealthy lady gained a lot of new contacts.

A small clique was formed among them afterward.

Yun Sisi only knew about this because Chen Min had once complained to her about not knowing how to dress up, resulting in such an opportunity slipping away from her.

So, Yun Sisi scoured all the shops in South City to obtain the one and only burgundy sequin dress.

She gave it to Chen Min so she could wear it to the event.

Chen Min held the dress but seemed doubtful: "Is this dress really nice?"

"It’s very upscale and suits you perfectly, Mom," Yun Sisi said with a smile.

Hearing Yun Sisi’s words, Chen Min decided to give it a try: "Alright, let me see."

The dress wasn’t ugly anyway, so trying it out wouldn’t hurt.

Yun Sisi smiled. After tonight, Chen Min’s attitude toward her would undoubtedly make a 180-degree change.

She refused to believe that someone like her wouldn’t win others’ favor.

If her former self was so disliked, then now—with her foresight into what would happen in the future—

She was like a golden koi fish incarnate.

Everyone would feel that good fortune came with being around her, so how could they possibly not flock to her?

Thinking of this, Yun Sisi felt thrilled.

Whatever Yun Shifei, Mu Chengzhu—they didn’t matter anymore. She just wanted to return to the way she was in her past life.

The woman who was pursued by countless men, ultimately married to Mu Chengzhu, and lived a blissful life.

As Yun Sisi expected, Chen Min returned from the gathering that evening with a glow on her face. The servant even made her a bowl of bird’s nest soup.

Chen Min specifically called Yun Sisi downstairs.

From Chen Min’s expression, Yun Sisi could roughly guess what she had experienced that night.

She had passed along the good luck from others directly to Chen Min.

"Sisi, the dress you picked for me today was absolutely perfect!" Chen Min said, holding Yun Sisi’s hand with a grin.

Seeing Chen Min smile until her eyes nearly vanished, Yun Sisi remained composed: "Mom, what are you talking about?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"When I wore the dress today, so many people praised it and asked where I bought it. Since it was your gift, I had no idea where it was purchased. I told them to leave their contact details, saying I’d tell them later once I found out."

Indeed, it had gone as she’d planned.

Yun Sisi smiled and said, "Mom, I’m glad you liked it. This brand is entirely in English. I’ll write it down for you so you can let them know."

Seeing Yun Sisi so obedient, Chen Min thought to herself, maybe she’d been too prejudiced against her recently.

This daughter-in-law was truly excellent.
