After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Cheng Huai Passes Away

Yun Shifei snapped back to her senses, realizing she couldn't say anything, after all, those were events that

would happen in the future.

"I don’t know either. Anyway, he won't be coming back."

Sun Xiaoqi responded with an "Oh": "You two are neighbors, haven't you run into each other?"

Yun shifei shook her head.

Seeing her cluelessness, Sun Xiaogi immediately felt disappointed.

She really wanted to pat Yun Shifei’s head. Wasn't she close to Cheng Lie? How cshe didn’t have the

slightest interest in gossip?

What she didn’t know was that precisely because Yun Shifei already knew everything, she wasn’t interested in

gossip.

Yun Shifei only wanted to use the remaining tto study hard, although occasionally, she would think of Cheng

Lie and wonder what he was doing now.

She recalled when Yun Tiancheng went on a business trip, leaving her halone and scared, Cheng Lie gave

her his phone number.

Was that even really his phone? Would it still connect now?

Although she was eager to call, every tshe tried dialing, she ultimately decided against it.

What if the call went to the Cheng Family? How would she explain herself then?

A couple of days later, Yun Shifei heard Zhao Haishuang'’s furious yelling from the yard.

"Cheng Lie is such an ungrateful beast! I've raised him for so long, fed him the best, clothed him in the best,

even had a driver take him to and from school every day. Our Ah Huai has always gone to school on his own, but

him? How does he repay us? Ah Huai is sick and needs a bone marrow match. Clearly, he could have matched Ah

Huai, but he ran away! How can there be such a heartless and ungrateful beast!"

Zhao Haishuang'’s hysterical voice traveled far, and the Yun Family, not too distant from the Cheng Family, heard

it as well.

Yun Shifei frowned slightly. In her past life, she heard this story indirectly from others, but she hadn't expected

Zhao Haishuang to spread the information in this manner herself.

There was never a shortage of people eager to watch the , and soon enough, someone stepped forward to

comfort Zhao Haishuang.

Zhao Haishuang continued crying and cursing.

"I never thought this would happen! All these years, when have | ever treated him badly?! Wasn't it our Old

Cheng'’s kindness that took him abroad for treatment and hired the best specialists? And what did he do? Shortly

after his recovery, he ran away!

Old Cheng had to stay in a strange foreign country searching for him for a long tbefore finding out he'd

secretly returned to China. After he cback, he disappeared completely. We had no idea where he went. Now

that we want him to return to donate bone marrow to help our Ah Huai, we can’t find him anywhere! Tell me,

doesn’t that make him heartless?" Zhao Haishuang cried and cursed simultaneously.

The crowd was utterly shocked, thinking that Cheng Lie was arguably very clever. To live independently despite

all those years of autism, even navigating an overseas return on his own.

Listening to Zhao Haishuang’s rant, Yun Shifei found it hard to believe.

Even if Cheng Lie managed to return to China, how did he afford the ticket?

Without money, how could he buy a plane ticket? Was Zhao Haishuang lying? But why would she lie? Based on

typical experience, such detailed storytelling usually implies a higher likelihood of truth.

Yun Shifei still felt that something was off, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what.

Later, Zhao Haishuang went on to fling many harsh insults at Cheng Lie. Yun Shifei grew very angry, feeling a

strong urge to confront Zhao Haishuang and tell her to stop slandering Cheng Lie. But remembering that the

woman was grieving the impending loss of a son, speaking up at such a twould only worsen her pain.

Though unable to empathize with Zhao Haishuang’s feelings, Yun Shifei knew at least not to kick someone when

they're down.

So, she closed the window, put on her headphones, and diligently focused on her books.

Days later, on her way hfrom school, Yun Shifei ran into Mu Chengzhu, who approached her to inquire about

the incident.

"Is everything Aunt Cheng said true?"

"No."

"Then why is Cheng Lie missing?"

Yun Shifei hesitated: "How do you know he disappeared willingly? What if the Cheng Family abandoned him and

made up an excuse later?"

Yun Shifei’s response left Mu Chengzhu momentarily speechless.

"Don’t believe everything you hear; there's a difference between seeing and hearing. I've spent so much time

with Cheng Lie, | know what kind of person he is."

He's very obedient, not bad at all.

At first, even she thought he was a cold and cruel bad person. But spending twith him gradually revealed his

goodness.

He's absolutely not the villain that people imagined.

A person like him, even if cured of autism, would never hurt anyone.

The Cheng Family had done too many wrongs to Cheng Lie.

She thought back to when they deprived Cheng Lie of food and even cut his hand.

The current situation seemed inevitable, didn't it?

Mu Chengzhu was surprised at how resolutely Yun Shifei defended Cheng Lie: "You're so sure?"

"Yes, I'm very sure."

Under the lamplight, the girl's eyes shone brightly, as if she were affirming an undeniable truth.

She believed the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, that the full moon appears on the sixteenth, that

there are twenty-four hours in a day, and naturally, that Cheng Lie was a good person.

But Yun Shifei didn’t realize that her unwavering belief in Cheng Lie made Mu Chengzhu a little jealous.

Regret surged in his heart like the tide. If only he hadn’t underestimated her back then, might things have turned

out differently?

When the rumors reached Sun Xiaoqi, she began gossiping with Yun Shifei.

Yun Shifei responded indifferently: "Don’t listen to those rumors, they're all lies."

Such heartbreaking pain made Zhao Haishuang wish she could die in Cheng Huai’s place.

Sadly, that wasn’t possible.

Cheng Huai passed away in late spring, early summer.

That young man who was still cheeky with her last year was now gone. Yun Shifei felt somewhat conflicted.

Perhaps life is just like this — seemingly strong, yet so fragile.

Even though Yun Shifei once had conflicts with Cheng Huai, Yun Tiancheng still attended his funeral.

At the funeral, Yun Sisi also attended.

She dressed in black, crying like a delicate flower in the rain.

Besides Yun Sisi, the courtyard’s younger companions also came, but Yun Shifei didn’t attend.

Yun Sisi checked out the attendees as soon as she arrived.

Yun Tiancheng and Xu Ya were also present.

This was a golden opportunity; she must talk to them and reclaim her place as their daughter.
