After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 84: Double Standards

Right at this moment, Yun Sisi was completely stunned.

This had been the last straw she could grasp onto.

But now, the straw was gone, and she felt like she was nearing her end.

"How could this happen?" Yun Sisi muttered, "I distinctly remember..."

"Yun Sisi, apologize," Yun Shifei’s voice rang out.

Apologize?

No, absolutely not!

It wasn’t her fault, so why should she apologize?

"It must be Cheng Lie who did something to cause this." No, if she apologized, it would mean admitting that she had gone on a date with Song Yang, but she clearly hadn’t.

"Yun Sisi, you can’t keep slandering Cheng Lie all the time." Class 7’s monitor, Gu Niansheng, couldn’t take it anymore. "He’s already cooperated with you to prove his innocence, yet you’re still smearing him."

Even others were starting to question her.

Yun Sisi’s face turned pale. Finally, tears began to trickle down, her shoulders trembling as she looked incredibly pitiful.

"But... I clearly remember it was him... Wuwu..."

Yun Sisi bit her lip hard. Her jet-black hair slipped down her cheek, highlighting her pallor, a face as white as snow, exuding an unmistakable sense of misery.

It tugged at the hearts of men even more.

Gu Niansheng couldn’t bring himself to press her any further.

Song Yang quickly stepped forward, grabbed Yun Sisi in his arms, and cast a warning glance at the remaining three. His gaze was full of menace: "You know the truth, so what more do you want? Are you trying to drive Sisi to her death?"

Yun Sisi despised Song Yang’s touch. Thinking back to what happened at noon made her nauseous.

But without Song Yang, she’d have to apologize to Yun Shifei and Cheng Lie.

She absolutely didn’t want to apologize!

Watching their retreating figures, Yun Shifei felt a bit emotional.

People really are double standards.

If Yun Sisi had managed to come up with so-called evidence proving she was right, she definitely wouldn’t have let her or Cheng Lie off easily.

But now that Yun Sisi had guessed wrong, she could leave without even a word of apology.

Just because she’s pretty, that seems to serve as some sort of passport?

Yun Shifei glanced at Cheng Lie guiltily: "My sister falsely accused you like that and refused to apologize... I’ll apologize on her behalf. I’m sorry."

If she hadn’t been friends with Cheng Lie, Yun Sisi wouldn’t have constantly sought trouble for him.

The girl’s tone was as soft and sweet as sugar, filled with sincerity.

Cheng Lie glanced at her. His voice was somewhat deep: "No need."

No need to apologize for someone like that.

It was precisely her mild personality that made her a target for Yun Sisi’s bullying.

And even after being bullied, she never thought about seeking revenge.

Given her demeanor, how would she survive in the future? Cheng Lie couldn’t help but feel a little concerned.

But Yun Shifei misunderstood Cheng Lie’s intention and felt disheartened. She couldn’t help but sigh—helping someone else apologize really wasn’t the right approach. Now that she thought about it, it did lack sufficient sincerity.

Throughout the day, the rumors concerning Yun Sisi spread more and more across the school.

She had always been well-known in the school, but dating a delinquent made her the center of attention.

And the fact that she went to Class 7 to confront Cheng Lie and Yun Shifei, accusing them of framing her.

But in truth, it was all baseless nonsense.

In no time, Yun Sisi’s reputation did a complete 180.

As Yun Sisi was leaving school, she could even overhear her classmates gossiping behind her back:

"This flower of the senior class really is so fake. Never judge a book by its cover—who would’ve thought she’d fall for a spoiled rich kid?"

"Exactly. I heard that when they went on their date, the guy even took his clothes off. If it hadn’t been for the disciplinary director showing up, who knows what might’ve happened."

"Ha, she gets involved in stuff like this and still doesn’t get expelled? How much money must her family have shelled out? Makes you wonder if her previous grades were bought too."

...

Have they stooped to the level of fabricating such outrageous rumors about her, tarnishing her entire past?

Yun Sisi couldn’t hold back from turning and shouting angrily: "Stop spouting nonsense!"

The crowd scattered the moment she turned around.

Yun Sisi stomped her foot in frustration. It was utterly infuriating—how could they spread rumors about everything like this?

...

Xu Ya was feeling utterly out of sorts over Yun Sisi’s issue. She had impulsively promised to donate thirty thousand yuan to the school.

But thirty thousand yuan wasn’t exactly a small amount!

She’d been a full-time housewife for many years, with no money of her own, so she had to resort to asking Yun Tiancheng.

But she and Yun Tiancheng were still in the middle of a cold war.

Still, she had no choice. For Sisi’s sake, she had to break their stalemate.

She first called Yun Tiancheng and asked if he’d come home for dinner tonight.

"Do you have something to say?" Yun Tiancheng immediately saw through her intentions.

"It’s something very important."

"Have you come to your senses?" Yun Tiancheng asked.

Xu Ya paused for a moment, then finally replied after a long silence, "I’ve come to my senses."

Yun Shifei was her biological daughter and she should treat her kindly. From now on, she promised herself never to scold her again, to buy her lots of things she liked, and to treat her the same way she treated Yun Sisi.

"Fine, I’ll come home tonight."

"You’d better... better come back early. Could you be home by 4:30?"

She had to explain this to Yun Tiancheng before Yun Sisi got home from school. If Yun Tiancheng got angry, it wouldn’t scare Yun Sisi.

This early? Was it something that important? ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Alright, I’ll try to be back as early as possible."

Yun Tiancheng wasn’t someone particularly petty. Since Xu Ya had admitted her fault, he decided to forgive her.

He hadn’t truly wanted to divorce her; he’d only wanted to use the threat of such a serious matter to make Xu Ya understand her mistake.

Sure enough, Yun Tiancheng came back before 4:30.

Xu Ya, upon seeing Yun Tiancheng arrive, brewed tea herself and brought out a cake she’d made with her own hands.

"Here, try this. I just learned how to make it recently."

Yun Tiancheng cast a glance at Xu Ya.

After being married for over ten years, he could read her feelings accurately from her expressions.

For instance, right now, Yun Tiancheng noticed a vague hint of guilt in her slightly evasive gaze.

"What’s happened?" Yun Tiancheng asked directly.

Xu Ya hesitated for a moment before telling Yun Sisi’s story in full detail.

"You’re saying Sisi ended up with that kid from the Song Family?" Yun Tiancheng found it unbelievable.

"It’s a misunderstanding, that’s what Sisi said. But she couldn’t explain it clearly, and to ensure Sisi wouldn’t be expelled, I promised the school a thirty-thousand-yuan donation."

Yun Tiancheng couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh: "A donation? How generous of you. Yun Sisi made such a huge mistake, let her bear the consequences on her own."

"I told you it’s a misunderstanding."

"How do you know it was a misunderstanding? Do you have any evidence? Even the disciplinary director saw them together." Yun Tiancheng, being a rational person, immediately zeroed in on the flaw in Xu Ya’s argument.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Yun Sisi—he just trusted the facts more.

He would do the same if it had been Yun Shifei.

To properly raise children, you couldn’t just blindly indulge them.

Xu Ya felt deeply hurt: "You have so little faith in your own child?"

"When it was Shifei you doubted, you weren’t like this." Yun Tiancheng said as he stood up, "Xu Ya, you’re truly disappointing."

With that, he walked out the door without a second thought. Having just returned, he left again.

Xu Ya didn’t even have the courage to try and stop him.
