After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 447: Creating Conflict

She knew that at this moment, she probably looked like a malicious villain.

But she didn’t care whether she was the villain or not.

She just hated how hypocritical Yun Sisi was.

"Sister, everything was my fault a few days ago. I hope you can be the bigger person and forgive me. Chengzhu... he really didn’t mean it either." Yun Sisi tried to soften her voice as much as possible.

"You don’t need to plead on his behalf. Things have progressed to this point, and it’s already beyond my control." After saying this, Yun Shifei closed the door.

Standing outside, Yun Sisi stomped her foot in frustration.

Yun Shifei was doing great, wasn’t she? Now she had actually gotten so formidable.

But she had no choice but to beg Yun Shifei.

After all, the reason she had won Chen Min’s favor in the Mu Family wasn’t because of her good looks, but because of the "lucky charm" image she had been cultivating in recent days.

It was as if having her around would let everything in the Mu Family go smoothly.

She had indeed used many coincidences from her past life to make herself seem like a lucky charm.

But now, she had hit a wall with Yun Shifei.

Thinking of the expectant looks Chen Min and Mu Jiayu had given her earlier when she’d set out to find Yun Shifei, they clearly hadn’t expected her to fail. They had only counted on her success.

If it were anyone else, she could resolve the situation effortlessly.

But now, the person she faced was Yun Shifei.

This was perhaps the person in the world who hated her the most and knew her true nature the best.

Facing someone like that, no amount of pretending to be weak would work.

Thinking of this, Yun Sisi took a deep breath. Begging Yun Shifei was not an option; she had to find another way.

She firmly believed that when one door closes, another opens.

Since they liked spreading rumors in the newspapers, and since everyone got their gossip from the papers, Yun Sisi thought for a moment: Why not clarify everything with Mu Chengzhu through the newspapers?

However, when she returned and shared her plan with Chen Min, a brief look of disappointment flashed in Chen Min’s eyes.

Chen Min was indeed a little disappointed. Initially, she’d thought Yun Sisi could resolve the matter as effortlessly as before. But now, taking the long route seemed uncertain.

Yun Sisi thought it over and, in order to maintain Chen Min’s previous level of trust in her, said, "Mom, don’t worry. Clarifying through the newspapers will definitely make everyone believe in me and Chengzhu."

"Once they see us happy together, what will those rumors count for?"

Chen Min nodded. "Sisi is still the thoughtful one."

Seeing her trust restored, Yun Sisi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There’s no way gossip could persist once the two of them publicly showcased their love.

However, when she brought up the idea to Mu Chengzhu, he gave her a somewhat surprised look. "Is this the only trick you can come up with? I thought you were smarter than this."

That approach had already been suggested by his PR team long ago; he just didn’t think it would work.

Feeling challenged by Mu Chengzhu’s doubt, Yun Sisi gritted her teeth. "You’ll see when the time comes."

"Well, I really hope I can witness your success."

So, they pretended to go out shopping and let themselves be photographed.

In the pictures, they could be seen holding hands, appearing very close.

Unfortunately, such mild photos were like a tickle to the gossip-hungry crowd and did nothing to stop the rumors.

Because of Mu Chengzhu’s surrounding scandals, the ensuing sensational gossip even caused several business partners to reconsider their collaborations with him, fearful of the potential risks.

To them, it didn’t matter how many past relationships someone had or who they liked.

But letting a scandal blow up to this degree without being able to handle it—could someone like that really manage their business affairs properly?

With such doubts in mind, many hesitated to work with Mu Chengzhu further.

In just two short days, Mu Chengzhu’s company began to experience a crisis.

And today happened to be Yun Tiancheng’s discharge day. Yun Shifei went to the hospital to bring him home.

After monitoring his recovery for another two days, if there were no serious issues, she planned to return to school.

She had already taken half a month’s leave and would fall behind in her studies.

More importantly, she really missed Cheng Lie.

She wondered if he had been taking care of himself while alone in Beijing.

As she packed her things, she thought about this. Her dog, Baobei, saw her packing and had gradually come to understand that whenever she did this, it meant she was going to leave.

Baobei whimpered and started pulling her belongings out of her suitcase, tossing them aside.

It seemed to think: If I take out enough, she won’t be able to leave.

Yun Shifei: "..."

She couldn’t help but flick Baobei on its forehead. "Do you believe I’ll hit you?"

Baobei hunched over nervously. It was afraid of being punished.

But it couldn’t bear for its owner to leave, either.

In the end, Baobei came up with a brilliant idea. It plopped its entire body down on the suitcase lid and barked at Yun Shifei.

Yun Shifei couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

So Baobei wanted her to take it along?

That was a great idea, but she couldn’t keep a dog at school.

Plus, pets weren’t yet allowed on planes. With the trip being such a long distance, she worried about Baobei’s safety.

In the end, Yun Shifei patiently coaxed Baobei for a long time until it became less resistant.

As she continued packing, Yun Sisi arrived at the Yun Family home.

Because Yun Tiancheng’s life had been saved by her warning, he now treated her politely.

"Dad, Mom, where’s my sister?"

"She’s upstairs packing," they replied.

Planning to return to Beijing.

Yun Sisi thought, perfect. Once she’s gone, she could focus more on bonding with Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya.

But for now, the most important thing was to resolve the pressing issue at hand.

"Dad, Mom, have you read the newspapers from the past few days?"

Yun Tiancheng nodded.

He had been bored in the hospital, unable to do much else, so he’d read more newspapers than usual.

He’d seen it? Then why were they still so calm?

Yun Sisi said, "You saw that my sister actually went to the papers to claim that Chengzhu loves her."

Saying this, she clutched her chest, putting on an expression of deep pain.

"Do you know how people outside are viewing me and Chengzhu now? I don’t know what kind of grudge my sister has against me to set me up like this."

"I remember Chengzhu did like Shifei for a while," Yun Tiancheng hesitated but still told Yun Sisi the truth.

Yun Sisi felt like coughing up blood. As expected, Yun Tiancheng was biased toward Yun Shifei.

But what he said wasn’t wrong.

"But I’m already married to Chengzhu. I don’t understand what my sister is trying to achieve by saying these things now." Yun Sisi squeezed out two tears. "Is she trying to say that I only have her leftovers? That I’m not deserving of a happy relationship?"

The implication was clear—Yun Shifei couldn’t stand her happiness and was deliberately creating drama.
