After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Do you really not like this gift?

At this moment, the Cheng Family had just finished breakfast.

Cheng Guomin left for work at his company.

Cheng Huai was still lounging in bed, and Zhao Haishuang had plans today to meet friends for a beauty treatment.

Cheng Lie, after breakfast, went back to his room to draw.

Zhao Haishuang was too lazy to care about him now, anyway. When he turned eighteen, she’d definitely find a way to drive this illegitimate child out of the house.

She had tolerated having him around for so many years, but she couldn’t bear it anymore.

Once he was of age, surely Cheng Guomin wouldn’t make up excuses to keep him here.

If that day ever came, she swore she’d kill this little beast herself.

A malicious glint flashed across Zhao Haishuang’s face.

The next moment, she heard the doorbell ring. She walked over to open the door, and as she did, the venomous expression on her face instantly vanished, replaced by the soft smile of a warm and gentle woman.

"Shi Fei." Zhao Haishuang warmly greeted Yun Shifei.

Yun Shifei returned the smile. "Auntie, good morning."

"Come to play with Xiao Lie again, haven’t you? Come in, come in."

Yun Shifei stepped inside and brought out the gifts Yun Tiancheng had entrusted her with for the Cheng Family. "Auntie, my father returned from Beijing today, and these are some tobacco, wine, and local specialties he picked up for you."

She placed the items on the table.

"Oh dear, you’re way too kind." Zhao Haishuang laughed, her hand covering her mouth as she sized Yun Shifei up with a few appreciative glances. "Our families are so close; you really shouldn’t trouble yourself sending things over all the time."

"It’s no problem. Thank you, Uncle and Auntie, for looking after me during this time," Yun Shifei said politely.

Though she wasn’t really cared for much, gratitude was proper etiquette.

"Auntie, I’ll go upstairs to find Cheng Lie now."

"Alright, go ahead." Zhao Haishuang replied with a smiling face.

Her beautiful face looked kind and friendly, the type of auntie that children would love.

Yet Yun Shifei knew that Zhao Haishuang wasn’t as amiable as she appeared—not when it came to Cheng Lie.

Zhao Haishuang treated Cheng Lie poorly,
