After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Dispute

Xu Ya and Yun Sisi were both not at home, and the house suddenly felt much emptier.

Yun Shifei wasn’t talkative, and Yun Tiancheng wasn’t the type who liked to talk either.

However, their interactions weren’t awkward.

That day, Aunt Zhong made some cold jelly, and Yun Tiancheng asked Yun Shifei to deliver some to the Cheng Family.

Yun Shifei carried the cold jelly over.

On the way home, she bumped into Mu Jiayu.

Yun Shifei didn’t want to deal with her at all and pretended not to see her.

Who would have thought Mu Jiayu would call out to her: "Yun Shifei! I heard you kicked Sisi and Aunt Xu out of your house."

"Who did you hear that from?" Yun Shifei asked with a cold expression.

"Of course, Sisi told me."

Yesterday, Mu Jiayu received a phone call from Yun Sisi, who told her she had moved out of the Yun Family’s house, gave her a new phone number, and asked her to contact her through this number in the future.

At the time, Mu Jiayu was infuriated. She hadn’t anticipated that Yun Shifei, that little wench, would ultimately get her way.

She even managed to force Aunt Xu to leave—truly impressive.

"Things aren’t the way she said."

"Then are they how you say they are?"

Yun Shifei couldn’t be bothered with Mu Jiayu. People like Mu Jiayu, even if you explained something to them, would immediately dismiss it, convinced you were lying.

Unexpectedly, Mu Jiayu blocked her path and wouldn’t let her leave, even grabbing Yun Shifei’s sleeve: "Today, you’re not going anywhere until you explain this clearly."

Seeing Mu Jiayu rudely pulling at her sleeve, Yun Shifei got angry and shoved Mu Jiayu: "Don’t touch me!"

Oh, the coward actually grew a backbone today. Mu Jiayu couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. Normally, she appeared timid and submissive, but clearly, since kicking Sisi out, she had become brazen, knowing there was no one left to compete with her. From now on, the Yun Family was hers alone.

Mu Jiayu couldn’t help but admire Yun Shifei’s cunning. She sneered, "I’ll touch you alright, and today I’m going to teach you a lesson."

With that, Mu Jiayu pushed Yun Shifei to the ground.

But she hadn’t expected Yun Shifei to grab hold of her clothes, and in a flash, both of them tumbled to the ground.

"You dare treat me like this? Yun Shifei, I think you’ve grown tired of living."

Mu Jiayu had a fiery temper, and no one had ever treated her like this. She quickly got up and raised her hand, ready to slap Yun Shifei.

Yun Shifei was too stunned to react and just stared blankly as Mu Jiayu’s hand swung down.

In the end, the slap stopped two centimeters from her face.

Yun Shifei saw that Mu Jiayu’s hand had been caught by someone.

"Brother, what are you doing? Let go of me. I must teach this brat a lesson today!"

"I think you’re insane, Mu Jiayu." A cold voice rang out from the young man.

This was the first time Yun Shifei had seen Mu Chengzhu so angry. The sternness in his voice was chilling, making people’s hearts tremble.

It was nothing like the gentle and refined young man he usually appeared to be.

Even Mu Jiayu was shocked by Mu Chengzhu’s tone.

"Brother... you... you’re actually yelling at me!" Mu Jiayu was stunned and then began crying.

"You’re yelling at me because of Yun Shifei. I hate you!" Mu Jiayu cried as she stormed back home.

She was determined to tell her mother everything that had happened today and have her mother demand justice for her.

Mu Chengzhu ignored Mu Jiayu and turned to Yun Shifei: "Are you okay?"

His tone was much gentler now.

Seeing Yun Shifei, he hesitated for a moment. He hadn’t seen her for such a long time, and she had become unexpectedly beautiful.

The girl sat on the ground awkwardly, her gaze blank and fixed on him. It was hard to tell if she was scared or simply stunned.

Mu Chengzhu thought he would have to thoroughly scold Mu Jiayu when he got back home.

Why was she always so inconsiderate?

If she wasn’t causing trouble with one thing, she was stirring up another.

Still, now he looked at Yun Shifei with a face full of concern.

He extended his hand to her: "Let me help you up."

But instead, Yun Shifei reacted instinctively as soon as she heard his words. She stood up quickly on her own, took two steps back, steadied herself, and said to Mu Chengzhu, "I’m fine... I’ll be leaving now."

She didn’t want any interaction with Mu Chengzhu, not even a little.

Mu Chengzhu watched as the girl refused to even look at him. Previously, he had thought she was playing hard to get. Now he realized she was truly afraid of him.

Why was she afraid?

Mu Chengzhu didn’t understand, but Yun Shifei’s fear left him feeling deeply uncomfortable.

"Shifei."

Just as Yun Shifei turned to leave, Mu Chengzhu called out to her.

Yun Shifei froze and turned back to look at him, her back stiff: "What is it?"

"Why are you afraid of me?"

"I... I’m not afraid."

She wouldn’t admit it. Even if she was scared, she wouldn’t admit it.

She had already decided in this lifetime to stay far away from Mu Chengzhu.

Even though this version of Mu Chengzhu seemed different from the previous one, it wasn’t enough to dispel her fear of him.

"I’m sorry for what Jia Yu did today." Mu Chengzhu sincerely apologized to Yun Shifei.

"I’ll go back and teach her a lesson."

"Oh, okay." Yun Shifei turned and quickly walked away.

She truly didn’t want any entanglement with him.

Mu Chengzhu couldn’t help but feel helpless.

If he said he would teach Mu Jiayu a lesson, he meant it.

As soon as he arrived back home, Mu Chengzhu questioned Mu Jiayu on why she had treated Yun Shifei that way.

"Brother, it’s all because she bullied Sisi. How can you defend her like this?" Mu Jiayu said tearfully, feeling wronged.

As soon as she returned home, she rushed to her mother to complain, saying that Mu Chengzhu had scolded her because of Yun Shifei.

Chen Min, however, understood that Mu Chengzhu wasn’t the type to act out of line. Normally, the siblings had a great relationship, and Mu Chengzhu was always considerate. How could he have scolded her without reason? So, while comforting Mu Jiayu, she asked Mu Chengzhu, "Chengzhu, what happened today?"

"I had just gotten back from outside and saw Jia Yu arguing with Shifei. Jia Yu even almost slapped Shifei." noveldrama

"Mom, I was defending Sisi by teaching Yun Shifei a lesson. How could she treat Sisi like that? Sisi had nowhere to go but to move out. This was a place she had lived for over ten years!"

Mu Jiayu was indignant. Even if her brother scolded her, she had to get her words out.

"Jia Yu, that’s their family’s business. You shouldn’t have gotten involved like that." Chen Min didn’t agree with Mu Jiayu’s actions. Thankfully, Mu Chengzhu had stopped her; otherwise, when Yun Tiancheng asked about it later, how would they answer to the Yun Family?

"But Sisi is my friend." Mu Jiayu sniffled and glanced at Mu Chengzhu. "Brother, don’t you like Sisi too? Sisi has been pushed so far—why aren’t you standing up for her a little?"
