After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 228: Chapter 228 That Woman Is Just Using You

Yun Shifei cursed Cheng Lie in her heart, calling him a liar—she wasn’t going to go out of her way to defend him.

It would just make her look like a fool.

She was so upset she even ripped off the little rabbit charm hanging on her backpack and stuffed it into her drawer where she wouldn’t have to see it.

If she ever got the chance to see Cheng Lie, she’d definitely give him a piece of her mind. Why did he deceive her?

But then again, who knew if she’d ever get to meet Cheng Lie again in this lifetime?

The thought of it stirred up a pang of sadness.

Everything about Cheng Lie seemed to fade into rumor as the Cheng Family fell from grace and Zhao Haishuang left their neighborhood. No one could say whether the rumors were true or false.

Neighbors in the community only thought Cheng Lie was cold and heartless. The Cheng Family had treated him well, yet in the end, he wouldn’t even donate his bone marrow—he just disappeared without a trace.

But since none of the involved parties were around anymore, the rumors eventually fizzled out.

Yun Shifei continued studying earnestly, preparing for the looming college entrance exam.

Each time she took a test, her scores surpassed the last, and she’d become one of the top students in her school.

The teachers saw her as someone with great potential for getting into a prestigious university.

From a struggling student in the worst class during her first year, always at the bottom of the rankings, she had risen through sheer hard work to rank among the top twenty in her grade as senior year approached. Teachers in all grades now held her up as a role model, urging other students to focus on their studies.

But Yun Shifei also felt she had hit a bottleneck in her progress.

Her grades seemed stuck in the teens and twenties, mainly because her math scores still lagged behind—she needed to put more effort into improving them.

Mu Jiayu, seeing the rapid strides Yun Shifei had made, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy. Back in freshman year, their scores were worlds apart, but after two years of hard work, Yun Shifei now achieved such incredible results.

Yun Sisi, too, reflected deeply. She ranked fifth in the grade this time, which was no small achievement.
