After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Anger

"Mom, please try to put yourself in my shoes. Should I really accept her things? Sisi told me that this is something I should have had, so she gave it to me. What does it mean to say this is something I should have had? I don’t understand." Yun Shifei began to laugh, but her smile was pale, forced, and her voice grew softer, carrying a sense of fragility. "Because I was kidnapped, grew up in the countryside, and didn’t receive a good education like this, I deserve to be pitied like this, is that it?"

This isn’t giving—it’s an insult!

Yun Shifei may be timid, scared, and eager to avoid trouble, but that doesn’t mean anyone can humiliate her like this.

When you’ve endured a few times and the other side starts to push the boundaries further, continuing to tolerate them isn’t necessary at all.

You think you’re being forgiving, but forgiveness without limits becomes weakness.

She doesn’t want to be a weak person.

But, rebellion mustn’t be too fierce.

Weighing her options, Yun Shifei could only choose a middle-ground approach.

Walk the path of a green tea girl, leaving no path for the green tea to tread.

She didn’t cry with the same dramatic flair as Yun Sisi, but her stubborn and wounded expression still struck a chord in people’s hearts.

Xu Ya felt as though something was tightly gripping her heart.

That suffocating irritation in her chest—suddenly, she didn’t know where to vent it.

What Yun Shifei said didn’t seem wrong.

Yun Sisi panicked.

Xu Ya was clearly starting to waver.

No, it couldn’t be—this was something Yun Sisi absolutely didn’t want to see happen.

"Sister, I... I didn’t mean it that way. I didn’t disrespect you. On the contrary, I said things like that because I respect you. Sister, you must not misunderstand me."

Yun Sisi was flustered, almost frantic.

Why does Yun Shifei always act unpredictably?

She couldn’t figure it out.

Xu Ya glanced at Yun Shifei, then at Yun Sisi.

What Yun Shifei just said indeed made sense, but Sisi likely didn’t do it on purpose.

Sisi had been raised under her watch since childhood—obedient and thoughtful, adored by her classmates and teachers at school.

Perhaps it was simply because she had won such a prestigious award for the first time, and in her excitement, she didn’t think much about the consequences.

Yun Shifei looked at Xu Ya. Seeing the changes in Xu Ya’s expression, she sighed inwardly.

Xu Ya would never reprimand Yun Sisi.

She trusted the daughter she had raised since childhood. Even if she knew Sisi had done something wrong this time, she would still make excuses for her.

When disappointment accumulates, numbness follows.

Yun Shifei didn’t wait for Xu Ya to say anything. She turned and walked back to her room, closing the door behind her.

She wasn’t completely devoid of temper. No matter how unloved she was, she still had the right to show a little emotion, didn’t she?

Meanwhile, Xu Ya and Yun Sisi stood in the hallway.

"Mom, is Sister really angry with me? What should I do? I didn’t expect things to turn out like this." Yun Sisi sniffled, her reddened eyes resembling a little rabbit’s, evoking sympathy.

Xu Ya gently stroked Yun Sisi’s hair. She was about to say something, but then Yun Tiancheng came up the stairs.

He was carrying a first aid kit.

"Who’s feeling unwell?" Xu Ya frowned.

"Didn’t you see the scar on Shifei’s face? That girl—who knows how she got hurt. I’m bringing her some medicine to treat it."

Xu Ya: "..."

She really hadn’t noticed.

But now that she thought back, Yun Shifei’s face did indeed have a bandage stuck on it.

Yet, she had instinctively ignored it.

In that moment, Xu Ya felt deeply conflicted.

Had she always been too neglectful of this daughter?

Compared to Yun Shifei, Yun Sisi seemed more like the child she cultivated—possessing her looks, her intelligence, her talents.

In her subconscious, she had always been unwilling to fully acknowledge Yun Shifei as her daughter, which naturally created emotional distance.
