After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Give Up? In her previous life, she liked him so, so much, but he didn't like her at all, only used her.

In this life, she woke up, didn't like him anymore, decided to live her life well-and now he's fallen for her? Are all men like this? Yun Shifei felt momentarily lost-what you can't have is always the best.

Thinking of this, a wave of bitterness surged within Yun Shifei's heart. What Mu Chengzhu had just said made her suddenly feel like retreating. Wasn't being hurt once enough? Was she waiting to be hurt again? The more she thought about it, the more cowardly Yun Shifei felt. Should she really give up? "Sisi, helpclean up that table," Liu Congfang instructed Yun Sisi.

Yun Sisi suppressed her inner anger and eventually obeyed, tidying up the table.

Although Liu Congfang was a scheming person, she did have a knack for business. Even in this small alley restaurant, she managed to keep the business flourishing.

This left Yun Sisi utterly exhausted.

Ever since she arrived here, she had been reduced to a mere waitress, helping out every tthe shop got busy. Because of her good looks, many customers ogled her with lecherous eyes.

Yun Sisi just wished she could gouge out their eyes.

But every tshe told Liu Congfang about it, Liu Congfang always treated it with indifference.

"You should be glad they're looking at you! If you were ugly, who would bother to look at you?" Liu Congfang thought Yun Sisi was making a fuss over nothing.

Crude! Yun Sisi felt Liu Congfang was utterly unreasonable.

She never imagined that after this long wait-almost half a year-Xu Ya still hadn't clooking for her. That day, when she ran away from home, she thought Xu Ya would regret it and clooking for her.

But after that, Xu Ya completely disappeared from her world.

Yun Sisi tried everything she could think of to draw Xu Ya's attention.

She deliberately let her grades drop and even told Mu Jiayu about her current plight, hoping that Mu Jiayu's mother, who had a good relationship with Xu Ya, might pass the message along to Xu Ya.

But none of it worked.

Was she doomed to spend the rest of her life like this? Yun Sisi was unwilling to accept this fate.

Of course, she could also use Song Yang's connections. Even though Song Yang was an idiot, his family had money, which could help her escape this situation. But Song Yang's mother—just one look at that woman, you could tell she was trouble; otherwise, she wouldn't have failed so miserably in her hands previously.

Ah, why was her life so pitiful? Clearly, the dream she had before told her that her life would be full of smooth sailing, that she was supposed to be the protagonist of the world! Where did it all go wrong? Yun Sisi couldn't figure it out. But for now, her best course of action was to proactively find Xu Ya. She couldn't stand living here any longer.

Before seeing Xu Ya, Yun Sisi deliberately starved herself for several days, making herself appear frail and weak. She chose a rainy day, told Liu Congfang she was going to a friend's house for the night, then packed her bag and went to Xu Ya's place.

Xu Ya still lived in her old apartment complex. When Yun Sisi arrived at the familiar place, tears welled up in her eyes.

She used to disdain this area for not being as luxurious as the Yun Family's villa. But ever since living in a rented apartment-a dark, cramped, and damp place-Yun Sisi had cto appreciate the appeal of apartment living.

With tears in her eyes, she knocked on the door.

She had already rehearsed her emotions. Once Xu Ya cout, she would throw herself into her arms without a word and cry, lamenting all the grievances she'd endured these past months.

That would make her appear pitiful. And—she must remember-not to accuse Xu Ya of not coming to see her. Otherwise, she'd coff as immature.

Yun Sisi had thought it all through.

But after ringing the doorbell several times, no one cto open the door.

In the empty corridor, she stood alone. Outside, it was cold, with wind and rain buffeting her. Yun Sisi's heart felt just as cold.

She couldn't understand why Xu Ya wasn't opening the door. Could it be that she wasn't home? If Xu Ya wasn't home, should she keep waiting? A gust of wind blew in through the corridor's ventilation window, making Yun Sisi shiver.

Forget it; might as well take a desperate gamble.

At that moment, Xu Ya was still at work.

Now that she had slowly adjusted to her new environment, things were slightly better than when she first started.

Working alone, going halone, cooking, eating, and sleeping alone.

Bit by bit, she had to reverse the life she'd grown accustomed to over the past ten-odd years. Honestly, it hadn't been easy.

She had never suffered much throughout her life. Although her family was poor when she was young, her weak health meant her parents always took good care of her. She was the first to get the best food, and she rarely had to do household chores.

After marrying Yun Tiancheng, it was even more of a given.

You could say the work she'd been doing lately was the most she'd ever done in her life.

But she had adjusted to it.

After work today, she bought sgroceries and headed hto cook.

But then, she saw someone crouching outside her door.

It startled her.

Hearing the noise, Yun Sisi looked up and, seeing Xu Ya, instantly burst into tears. Through her sniffles, she pitifully called out, "Mom." Xu Ya's heart had long been hardened by the pain Yun Sisi caused. Now, seeing her again, her expression was calm: "What are you doing here?"

"Mom, why haven't you cto seeall this time? Do you know I've been waiting for you for six months? How could you just abandonlike that?" Watching Yun Sisi cry so pitifully, the cold, hard heart Xu Ya had carefully built began to ache again.

This was the child she had raised since birth. No matter how disappointed she was, it wasn't possible to have no affection left at all.

Especially seeing her so heartbroken now, Xu Ya realized she couldn't remain indifferent.

But what could she do? They couldn't go back to how things were.

Xu Ya took a deep breath. "Sisi, you should go back to your biological parents. There's nothing between us anymore." With that, she turned to unlock the door.

"Mom! How can you just abandon me? I know I was wrong! Before, I only stayed close to them because they threatened me. I don't even like En them. They never raised me, and they're so crude, so uneducated-their living habits are terrible. I can't adapt!" Hearing Yun Sisi say this, Xu Ya, for sreason, began to calm down.

From Yun Sisi's words, she seemed to glimpse her true nature-the side of Yun Sisi she had previously refused to believe existed.

The vain, self-serving side.

She firmly released Yun Sisi's clinging hands and said to her, om "Whatever the case, they are your bological parents. You've been living with them for six months-surely, you've adapted by now." Yun Sisi hadn't expected Xu Ya to be so heartless.

She hadn't been like this before.

Why? Could half a year really erase the feelings of over ten years?
