After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Extremely Disappointed

The Yun Family was exceptionally quiet at this moment.

Yun Shifei returned home long past dinnertime.

As soon as she walked into the living room, she saw Xu Ya sitting on the sofa, her sharp eyes fixed on her.

The cold and intense gaze made Yun Shifei’s heart tremble, even though she had mentally prepared herself.

"Shifei, you’re back," Xu Ya said.

Her tone was much calmer than it had been at the school earlier that morning.

Yun Shifei nodded slightly.

Seeing Yun Shifei’s somewhat frightened demeanor, Xu Ya frowned.

Previously, when she saw her like this, Xu Ya might have felt sorry for her.

But now, having witnessed her hitting Yun Sisi today—regardless of her intentions—the very act of hitting someone in public showed that this child was not as pure and innocent as she appeared.

Xu Ya was extremely disappointed in Yun Shifei.

Was all her good behavior over the past period just an act?

She thought again of Yun Sisi.

On the way back, Yun Sisi had implored her not to blame Yun Shifei, saying it was her fault for approaching Cheng Lie.

Yun Shifei only had Cheng Lie as her friend and might have been afraid that Sisi would steal his attention from her.

Even with her own face swollen and tear-streaked, Yun Sisi had still tried to defend Yun Shifei.

This made Xu Ya feel terrible inside.

What hurt Xu Ya even more was when Yun Sisi had asked her, "Mom, if my face scars and I end up unattractive, you won’t abandon me, will you?"

The cautious and fragile expression on the child’s face broke Xu Ya’s heart.

It was only then that she realized how much insecurity Yun Sisi had developed since Yun Shifei returned—terrified that they might abandon their adopted daughter in favor of their biological daughter.

Thinking about it even now, her chest ached with pain.

In contrast to Yun Shifei’s two-faced behavior—looking obedient yet capable of hitting her younger sister—

Yun Sisi seemed unimaginably considerate.

A thick layer of disappointment flashed through Xu Ya’s eyes.

After a long pause, she finally said, "Your sister doesn’t blame you, but you still need to apologize to her. She’s such a pretty girl, and you hurt her like this."
