After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 96: She was completely outdone!

"You’re here?" Old Mrs. Xu had already heard the commotion and came out from the house.

She was holding a Shih Tzu dog in her arms.

Its white fur and big eyes immediately caught sight of the group of strangers and started barking loudly.

"Little Guai, stop barking! These are all familiar people!" Old Mrs. Xu patted the dog’s head.

The Shih Tzu obediently stopped barking.

Yun Sisi looked at the dog, smiling, and called out, "Little Guai, it’s only been half a year, and you’ve already forgotten me?"

She reached out and stroked the dog’s head.

Little Guai sniffed at Yun Sisi’s scent and enthusiastically licked her hand—it remembered her now.

Yun Sisi felt a bit triumphant. See? Yun Shifei wouldn’t dare to do something like this.

On their way to the vacation villa, they stopped by the Xu Family home to visit Old Mrs. Xu.

Old Mrs. Xu called back toward the house, "Songkang, come see who’s here."

Soon, footsteps could be heard, and Yun Shifei saw an elderly man in a long robe, wearing reading glasses, exuding an air of refined elegance.

"This is your grandfather," Old Mrs. Xu said to Yun Shifei.

"Grandfather," Yun Shifei greeted sweetly.

Xu Songkang quickly stepped forward and looked Yun Shifei over. "You must be Shifei? In my memory, you were still so small. How did you suddenly grow into such a young lady?"

Old Mrs. Xu had stayed in South City for a few days before and had praised Yun Shifei several times after coming back.

She had talked about how this child had inherited their good genes—exceptionally wonderful and well-behaved.

In his younger years, Xu Songkang had been a teacher and had a knack for reading people. Seeing that Yun Shifei’s voice was calm and steady, her black, bright eyes were earnest and unafraid when she looked at him, he knew this child had grown up right.

This was perhaps a blessing amidst misfortune.

"Let’s go inside and chat properly. We should also call your brother to come back," Xu Songkang said to Xu Ya.

His two sons no longer lived with them.

One was developing the local tourism industry in their town, while the other was a middle school teacher.

Both were doing very well.

"Mom and Dad, we’ll have to head to the vacation villa later," Xu Ya said softly.

They had only intended to stop by briefly to see them, sit for a while, and then be on their way.

"No rush. Since you’re already here, stay for a day and head out tomorrow," Old Mrs. Xu suggested.

"Exactly. I haven’t even had a proper chat with Shifei yet," Old Sir Xu chimed in.

Grandparents do love their grandchildren dearly, Xu Ya could tell that both elders were extremely fond of Yun Shifei.

She couldn’t help but glance at Yun Sisi.

As expected, she noticed a touch of disappointment on Yun Sisi’s face.

Xu Ya’s heart ached a little.

She had rarely seen Yun Sisi unhappy before. Ever since Yun Shifei had come back, Yun Sisi often cried and seemed unhappy.

As it turned out, no matter how well Xu Ya treated her, there were still things that would affect her.

Take, for example, how others treated Yun Sisi. Aside from her, everyone else seemed to prefer Yun Shifei.

No matter how perfect Yun Sisi was, she still couldn’t compare to the bond of blood.

Although Yun Shifei was her biological daughter, Yun Sisi was the one into whom Xu Ya had poured all her love and effort.

Outsiders wouldn’t understand this feeling, but she herself understood it deeply.

She hated seeing either of the two children upset.

The best she could do was try her best to divide her love equally between the two.

"Mom and Dad, by the way, Sisi brought gifts for you this time," Xu Ya mentioned, bringing up Yun Sisi.

Yun Sisi was brought back to her senses and responded with an "Ah" before saying, "Yes, Grandpa and Grandma, I’ve brought gifts for you both."

She rummaged through her little backpack and took out the gifts she had prepared for Old Mrs. Xu and Old Sir Xu.

For Old Mrs. Xu, she had made a beautifully embroidered cross-stitch picture.

It was exquisitely detailed.

For Old Sir Xu, she had brought a smoking pipe.

Old Sir Xu loved smoking with a pipe.

The gifts she had prepared were chosen thoughtfully with their preferences in mind.

"Sisi, you’re so considerate."

"Indeed," they agreed.

Seeing that Old Mrs. Xu and Old Sir Xu finally did not overlook Yun Sisi, Xu Ya couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

Then she said, "Shifei also prepared gifts."

Yun Shifei then presented her gifts.

She and Yun Sisi had each prepared their own gifts separately.

For Old Mrs. Xu, Yun Shifei had chosen a lipstick.

She had spent a long time selecting it at the mall.

Old Mrs. Xu loved looking presentable—even at her age, whenever she had visitors or went out, she would always apply a full face of makeup.

She believed this was about respecting herself and showing courtesy to others.

That was why Yun Shifei had chosen to give her a lipstick.

Upon seeing the lipstick, Old Mrs. Xu’s eyes lit up.

"This color, it’s simply stunning," Old Mrs. Xu exclaimed, eager to try it out immediately.

Old Sir Xu, on the other hand, frowned and said, "To me, all your lipsticks look the same color. What’s the difference between good and bad ones?"

"You just don’t understand women," Old Mrs. Xu huffed lightly.

The two started bickering playfully.

Yun Shifei also took out the gift she had prepared for Old Sir Xu.

"Grandpa, I heard from Mom that your throat often feels uncomfortable. These candies can soothe your throat."

"Thank you," Old Sir Xu said, slightly surprised, as he accepted the gift with a smile.

It was truly a practical gift.

Xu Ya was briefly taken aback. When had she mentioned to Yun Shifei that her father’s throat wasn’t well?

This was because Old Sir Xu had been smoking for years, and as a result, his throat often felt irritated.

Yun Sisi had thought that the gifts she prepared would delight her grandparents.

But in the end, she realized they didn’t.

They seemed to prefer Yun Shifei’s gifts.

The gifts she had given were quickly set aside after being received.

Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Xu was still testing the lipstick on her hand to check the color.

Old Sir Xu had already unwrapped the candies and was eating them, telling Yun Shifei how delicious they were.

She had been completely overshadowed!

Yun Sisi’s body trembled slightly.

This always happened. She remembered something similar occurring before.

Noticing Yun Sisi’s pale face, Xu Ya asked, "Sisi, are you feeling unwell?"

Yun Sisi shook her head.

In front of her grandparents, she couldn’t allow herself to show any signs of immaturity.

They stayed for a little while longer before it was time to leave for the vacation villa.

Old Mrs. Xu seemed reluctant to see them go.

"Mom and Dad, we’ll be back in a few days. When we do, let’s invite my brother and his kids over for a meal together," Xu Ya said.

"Alright, come back soon and have a great time," Old Mrs. Xu said, not insisting any further.

This was a rare opportunity for their family of four to spend quality time together, which would help strengthen their bond.

During this visit, Old Mrs. Xu had observed some changes in their family dynamics.

Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya’s relationship wasn’t as strained as before.

Xu Ya also appeared to be paying more attention to Yun Shifei.

She had even mentioned to Yun Shifei that her grandfather’s throat had been acting up.

Thinking about this, Old Mrs. Xu felt a sense of comfort.

How wonderful. At her age, there wasn’t much she yearned for anymore—only that her children and grandchildren could live good lives.

A family enjoying harmony and happiness together—there was truly nothing better in the world.
