After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Rejecting Her

"What you’re saying has absolutely no logical connection. Xiao Yi being adopted has nothing to do with you abandoning him, does it? He met a good family purely because of luck, not because of anything you claim." Yun Shifei found this woman’s words absurd.

The woman, however, refused to relent, saying, "I don’t care! No matter what, I’m still his biological mother. Now that he has money, shouldn’t he give me some?"

As she spoke, the woman reached out to grab Si Kaiyi. "Xiao Yi, Mama is living a hard life right now. Can you really bear to let your mama suffer? You eat well, dress well—what about Mama? Look at this dress I’m wearing, it’s something I bought for twenty or thirty yuan from a street stall. I’ve been wearing it for ages."

Yun Shifei looked at Si Kaiyi. No matter what the woman said, in the end, the decision still had to be made by Si Kaiyi himself. But he was so young—she wasn’t sure how he was going to deal with this kind of situation.

Si Kaiyi’s small face was pale, his gaze fixed on his biological mother for a long moment before he spoke: "I don’t have a mother like you."

After saying that, he stopped looking at her and said to Yun Shifei, "Sister, let me take you back to school first."

Previously, Yun Shifei had declined his offer, but now, worried about his emotional state, she agreed.

"Xiao Yi, how can you say that? Xiao Yi! I’m your mother!"

Seeing them get into the car, the woman grew frantic, pounding on the car window repeatedly, but the vehicle drove away, disappearing into the distance.

As the car sped along the road, Yun Shifei stared out the window at the retreating scenery. It was early spring, and the tree branches had begun to bud, slowly growing into a fresh burst of life.

She turned to look at Si Kaiyi. In truth, he was just like those budding spring branches—this was the time he was bursting with vitality.

Day by day, seeing him grow more cheerful and outgoing warmed Yun Shifei’s heart.

He was becoming more like Cheng Lie, as if they were both improving together. They were all going to keep getting better and better.

But his biological mother... she would likely always be a hurdle for him.
