After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 493: Rivals Meet
Yun Shifei learned that Yun Sisi had been imprisoned.
If the kidnapping charge against her was truly confirmed, sheβd face at least ten years of imprisonment. π§πβ―β―π€β―π£πβ΄πππ.ππ°π
How much time does a young woman have in her beautiful years? After ten years, when she gets out, everything will have changed.
As for Mu Chengzhu, it seemed he truly had no feelings for Yun Sisi in this lifetime; he still hadnβt shown up even now.
Yun Shifei didnβt want to think about them anymore. After Yun Sisi went in, her connections to that past life could finally be erased in one stroke.
As for Mu Chengzhu, she would sort out things with him later.
Upon hearing the news that Yun Shifei returned safely, Xu Yuejiao showed up two days after she had previously left.
The two sisters chatted and slept together. When Xu Yuejiao found out that Yun Shifei was taken away by Mu Chengzhu the day she went missing and later saved by Cheng Lie, she fumed for half a day, cursing up a storm about Mu Chengzhu.
Then she showed concern, asking Yun Shifei if anything had happened between her and Cheng Lie.
Yun Shifei shook her head.
Xu Yuejiao was anxious and disappointed: "What the heck, Feifei, are you really okay with that? Arenβt you worried he isnβt capable?"
Yun Shifei shook her head again.
Looking at Yun Shifeiβs innocent and clueless face, Xu Yuejiao said, "Youβre still young, you donβt understand just how important harmony in this aspect is."
Yun Shifei: "..."
She spoke as if she was much older than Yun Shifei.
"If he really isnβt capable, then you guys shouldnβt get married."
"Itβs fine, I donβt care about that kind of thing."
"Tsk, well, you donβt care now, because you havenβt experienced it. Youβll understand later." Xu Yuejiao shot her a knowing smirk.
Not wanting to continue this topic, Yun Shifei changed subjects and asked Xu Yuejiao: "Wanna go grab some food together? Iβm the boss now, you know!"
Seeing Yun Shifeiβs smug expression, Xu Yuejiao felt a pang of jealousy. Ugh! She couldnβt just say Cheng Lie wasnβt capable; he wasnβt incapable in everything.
At least, he had moneyβand talent.
Just the way he pampered her cousin, seeming as if heβd pluck stars from the sky for her; Xu Yuejiao knew Cheng Lie and Yun Shifei were absolutely perfect together.
Unlike herselfβshe had nothing. Talking about whether men are capable didnβt even apply; she didnβt have a man.
For some reason, at that moment, Xu Yuejiao suddenly thought of Zhou Li.
She had already made her feelings clear to him, but she couldnβt seem to forget him. Maybe she would just silently keep him in her heart.
Yun Shifei took Xu Yuejiao to eat dessert.
"Sister Jiaojiao, you donβt have to hold back with me. Order whatever you want!"
Seeing Yun Shifeiβs extravagant flair, Xu Yuejiao didnβt hold back and ordered plenty.
Yun Shifei even recommended Xu Yuejiao try some of the new items.
These were all desserts she had worked on with her master, incorporating features that would trend years down the line.
Looking at the array of sweets on the table, along with two cups of milk tea, Yun Shifei felt happy just staring at the display.
If this were in the future, she thought about how sheβd take great photos of it and upload them online.
Yun Shifei had just taken a sip of hot milk tea when she heard someone upfront saying: "Hey, isnβt this Shifei?"
She looked up and saw a sunny, radiant face.
The face in her memory, tanned healthy wheat-colored skin, seemed darker now.
He looked more mature and steady, yet his smile was still so brilliantly radiant.
Yun Shifei greeted him instinctively: "Mr. Ming."
Who else could it be but Ming Zeqi?
This was the teacher who had taught her for three years. Honestly, without Ming Zeqi, she wouldnβt have been able to pass her college entrance exam back then.
After the exam, she had deliberately given him a gift to thank him.
In the years since, they hadnβt met again.
She never expected to run into him here.
"Shifei, long time no see. Youβre so beautiful now, I almost didnβt recognize you."
"Mr. Ming, you tooβyouβve become so much more handsome and dashing."
The two immediately slipped into a mutual compliment session.
Yun Shifei then noticed the girl beside Ming Zeqi and wanted to ask if she was his girlfriend. But when she saw the girlβs face, she froze.
Isnβt this...
Yun Shifei turned to look at Xu Yuejiao.
Xu Yuejiao had already locked eyes with Ming Jingru, and the tension between their gazes sparked like lightning in the air.
Xu Yuejiao thought, even if she no longer liked Zhou Li, it didnβt mean she could let go of what Ming Jingru had done to her so easily.
Yun Shifei also felt uneasy.
She turned to Ming Zeqi and asked, "And this is...?"
"Oh, this is my sister. I brought her here today to get something to eat."
Yun Shifei was about to say something, but Xu Yuejiao had already jumped in: "Weβve already ordered plenty of food we wonβt finish. Why donβt you join us?"
Earlier, when Yun Shifei egged her into ordering, sheβd indeed ordered a lotβa table full of dishes, thinking sheβd pack up the leftovers to take home later.
Turns out, her over-ordering worked out perfectly now.
Yun Shifei could sense Xu Yuejiaoβs hostility toward Ming Jingru and found it a headache.
They hadnβt shown animosity during previous encountersβXu Yuejiao had even told her she planned to give up on Zhou Li. So why did she still hold such deep animosity toward Ming Jingru now?
But Xu Yuejiao wasnβt wrong that mingling here would be a good chance to catch up with Ming Zeqi after all these years.
So Yun Shifei also invited them to sit down.
Ming Zeqi, straightforward as ever, didnβt notice the brewing tension between Xu Yuejiao and Ming Jingru at all. He even turned to Ming Jingru and said, "Jingru, why donβt you join us?"
Ming Jingru pursed her lips, "No way. This is something others are treating me to. I want you to treat me instead."
"Alright, alright," Ming Zeqi, ever the good older brother, replied promptly to appease her.
But Ming Jingru remained unhappy.
Seriously, how unlucky was it to bump into Xu Yuejiao and Yun Shifei here?
If they discovered how poor she actually was, what should she do?
"Come on, Ming Jingru, donβt be so reserved. Didnβt we work in the same factory during winter break? Why care about this now?" Xu Yuejiao said with a smile.
Seeing Ming Jingruβs displeasure only made Xu Yuejiao want to provoke her more.
A gentlemanβs vengeance could wait ten years, and now, Xu Yuejiao intended to grab onto this chance for payback.
Fine, let her eatβand expose her true self to her brother while sheβs at it!
This was Xu Yuejiaoβs genuine motive for inviting them to join. Ming Zeqi seemed more reasonable; he might even be able to knock some sense into his sister.
Ming Jingru stared at Xu Yuejiaoβs smug face and grew angrier. Did this simple-minded person really think sheβd outsmart her? Too naive!
With a forced smile, she replied, "Alright, letβs eat together then."
The four of them sat together, but the atmosphere turned strangely tense. Yun Shifei could only chat with Ming Zeqi, asking about his recent life.
Ming Zeqi said, "Iβm working at a training center now, teaching science subjects. The payβs decent."
"Thatβs great." Yun Shifei smiled.
Meanwhile, Xu Yuejiao and Ming Jingru were locked in a stare-down battle of wills.
