After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 492 She Has Nothing Left

Yun Sisi was stunned by Chen Min’s slap. She never expected that Chen Min, who had always seemed so kind and gentle, would hit her.

Mu Jiayu was also shocked and stood in front of Yun Sisi to shield her. "Mom, what’s going on? How can you hit Sisi?"

Chen Min stared at her daughter, who was shielding Yun Sisi, her chest heaving with fury.

Once upon a time, she believed Yun Sisi was a lucky star that brought prosperity to the Mu Family.

But now, after catching sight of them on the balcony that day—though she didn’t know what was said—they disappeared afterward.

Now she knew, they had gone to kidnap Yun Shifei.

Surely, Yun Sisi, that little shameless girl, must have said something to her son.

"Mom, please believe me, it really wasn’t me."

"It’s you!" Chen Min said coldly.

Yun Sisi: "..."

She finally understood what it felt like to be utterly unable to defend herself.

At one time, she had been in Mu Chengzhu’s position, while Yun Shifei was now standing where she was.

She had been shielded by Xu Ya, while Yun Shifei had been scolded by Xu Ya.

But sadly, she hadn’t been satisfied back then. She had even tried to push Yun Shifei further away.

Who knew that such a thing would happen?

If time could go backward, she would never have done such things.

Why can’t she be given another chance?

Chen Min kept scolding Yun Sisi relentlessly, only stopping when her voice was hoarse.

How could she not hate her? She hated her to the core.

Their family might not have been very wealthy, but they were middle-class.

Chen Min had tirelessly worked half her life with the hope of seeing her two children grow up and succeed; Mu Chengzhu had indeed been growing into the person she dreamed of.

Yet, this hope had all been ruined by Yun Sisi.

The more Chen Min thought about it, the angrier she felt.

Yun Sisi cried too. When had she ever endured such torment?

The Mu Family didn’t even allow her to eat, and whenever she tried to leave the house, people blocked her, effectively keeping her under house arrest.

Why did her life seem to become worse the more she struggled, failing to get anything she wanted?

Yun Sisi realized that with things as they were, no matter how much effort she put in, it seemed meaningless.

So at this moment, is she supposed to resign herself to fate?

At the very least, she couldn’t keep struggling; the more she struggled, the further things seemed to head in the direction she didn’t want.

Yes, even if Chen Min hated her, she was still the Mu Family’s young mistress. As long as Mu Chengzhu hadn’t returned, there was no way to get a divorce from her.

But her wishful thinking didn’t last long. The next day, the police came, saying she was suspected of kidnapping and would be detained for interrogation.

Yun Sisi wanted to resist, but she was handcuffed.

She was taken out of the house.

Outside the house, she saw many people staring at her.

Among those gazes, many belonged to people she knew.

This one was once a good childhood friend of hers, and that one had been the aunt who always gave her candy when she was little.

And now, all these familiar people were looking at her with disbelief in their eyes. Yun Sisi held back her tears.

She used to be so proud of this familiar neighborhood, but now she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Especially when she spotted Xu Ya in the crowd.

"Mom!" Yun Sisi called out. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Xu Ya heard Yun Sisi’s call and felt a pang of heartache.

But deep down, she knew her heartache wasn’t for Yun Sisi’s current situation but for how disappointing it was that the daughter she had raised turned out like this.

It was truly agonizing.

Yun Sisi now thought of Xu Ya as her lifeline.

So she cried out again, "Mom! Look at me, save me, I’m innocent!"

She knew they didn’t have evidence. Just because Yun Shifei said something, does that make it true?

So as long as she hired a decent lawyer, there was still a chance to turn things around.

But Xu Ya looked at her with a disappointed expression.

Under Yun Sisi’s gaze, filled with hope, she turned and walked away.

Yun Sisi suddenly felt her world crumble completely. Nobody liked her; even at such a low point, there was no one to save her.

After all, the person who loved her most—her own mother—had abandoned her. What hope was there for anyone else?

As for Liu Congfang, there was even less to be said. Since Yun Sisi’s confinement, there hadn’t been a single word from her.

Yun Sisi knew she was likely too scared of getting implicated in the matter, probably pretending to be a turtle hiding in its shell. In the end, she might even pack up her things and sneak away.

She was afraid the Mu Family would come after her.

Her biological mother had always been a calculative and opportunistic woman.

Deep down, Yun Sisi never truly considered Liu Congfang her mother; the only person she respected was Xu Ya.

But now, Xu Ya had also abandoned her completely.

Yun Sisi was put in a police car and temporarily detained at the detention center. After the case was closed, she would likely be sent to prison.

Prison was a completely unfamiliar place to Yun Sisi.

The only time she had ever heard about prison was when she learned about Cheng Guomin being sent there.

Now, Cheng Guomin, who was supposed to be released in just a few decades, had been sentenced to death after Cheng Lie unearthed evidence of his murder.

Thinking of this, Yun Sisi couldn’t help but shudder.

She had clung to some kind of hope just moments ago.

Cheng Lie had been able to dig up evidence from over a decade ago to avenge his father. Finding evidence about her kidnapping Yun Shifei within a matter of days—how easy that would be!

It was so easy that Yun Sisi’s heart sank completely.

At first, she thought the terms she had negotiated with Cheng Lie might hold value for him; who knew, he didn’t care at all.

The police car rolled down the road, taking Yun Sisi to the nearest precinct.

From the window, Yun Sisi gazed at the scenery outside. In the distance, she spotted a couple flirting by the roadside.

The man’s figure was oddly familiar. Yun Sisi squinted, trying to see clearly—it was Song Yang!

And the girl beside him was Su Ni, who had always been by Song Yang’s side.

The couple wore matching red outfits, conspicuous under the sunlight.

Song Yang reached out and ruffled Su Ni’s hair with a pampering smile.

In that instant, Yun Sisi burst into sobs.

She had been wrong—so terribly wrong!

She should never have been so greedy!

From the beginning, she had countless chances to live a good life.

Even if she had simply stayed with Song Yang, wouldn’t she have been happy?

At least Song Yang had been endlessly patient with her, unlike Mu Chengzhu, who forced her to tirelessly seek his approval.

Outside, a radiant springtime scene unfolded, with golden sunlight spilling onto the ground, the blue sky and white clouds looking like a painting.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was suffocatingly heavy, pressing down on her like a weight, and her crying intensified.

Humans are often like this—desperately chasing what they can’t have, only to let go of what they already hold.

Attempting to reach ever-greater satisfaction, they lose everything along the way.

In the end, she was left with nothing.
