After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Reputation

Xu Ya wasn’t too familiar with the Cheng Family. Based on her impression, the Cheng Family really was good to Cheng Lie.

However, Yun Shifei, who didn’t know their actual relationship, could sense something deeper, which proved that the Cheng Family’s apparent kindness to Cheng Lie might not be the full story.

But as outsiders, even if they knew, what could they say?

"Our family isn’t particularly close to the Cheng Family; it’s only been more frequent recently because of you," Xu Ya said. Pausing, she sighed, "Actually, Cheng Lie is your Uncle Cheng’s illegitimate son."

"Ah..."

Hearing Cheng Lie’s background, Yun Shifei was stunned.

She truly hadn’t expected it to be like this.

In her previous life, she had hardly interacted with Cheng Lie.

The most involvement they had was through rumors and later when Yun Sisi framed her.

After that incident, Yun Shifei only heard about Cheng Lie through others.

Her impression was simply that he was cruel, especially toward his family.

In this lifetime, after learning a bit more, she realized the truth wasn’t quite what she had imagined.

Cheng Guomin hadn’t doted on him the way rumors suggested.

Zhao Haishuang didn’t either.

As for Cheng Huai...

Yun Shifei vividly remembered the moment after she had just been reborn and sent Cheng Lie home, seeing Cheng Huai standing nearby, smiling politely.

The lingering doubts in her head from recent days seemed to finally find their resolution in Cheng Lie’s identity.

Unable to hold back, Yun Shifei asked Xu Ya, "If he’s an illegitimate child, then what about Cheng Lie’s mother? Did she just abandon him?"

Xu Ya shook her head. "We don’t know much about that. All we know is that one day Cheng Lie suddenly appeared at the Cheng Family’s home. At the time, he was only a bit over six years old, just starting elementary school. He came with autism, always avoiding people, refusing to speak, and living in his own world."

So that’s how it was...

Yun Shifei thought back to the boy’s cold demeanor.

As icy and distant as a snow-covered mountain, so unapproachable.

Was he like a hedgehog, growing sharp quills all over himself just to protect his fragile heart?

He shut out the people he hated—but also shut out those who wanted to offer him warmth.
