No one could have expected that Yun Shifei, who seed so ek and submissive, would suddenly resist and run away.
This caught them completely off guard.
Yun Sisi was the first to react and shouted, "We can’t let her escape."
If Yun Shifei really got away, she would definitely go ho and report everything to their family. Everything they had done would be exposed.
That would be the end of them!
The more Yun Sisi thought about it, the dizzier she felt. She blad herself for being too careless.
However, Xu Yi’s boyfriend’s friends were no pushovers. Once they ca back to their senses, they imdiately began chasing after Yun Shifei.
When it ca to a chase, how could such a frail girl possibly outrun them?
Yet, when they turned into an alley, there was no trace of Yun Shifei anywhere.
This girl was actually pretty good at running, wasn’t she? Frustrated, they gritted their teeth and split up to search for her.
If they couldn’t find her, how could they explain themselves to their sister-in-law?
What they didn’t know was that Yun Shifei was curled up behind a nearby trash bin at that very mont.
The large trash bin was just enough to completely shield her frail fra from view.
She covered her mouth tightly, afraid to make even the slightest sound.
The most dangerous place was often the safest. They must have assud she had run off, so they would search elsewhere. Little did they know, she was right there.
She didn’t know how much ti had passed, but Yun Shifei thought to herself that they should no longer be nearby. She prepared to co out.
But unexpectedly, soone called her na.
"Yun Shifei."
Hearing that voice, Yun Shifei’s face turned ghostly pale.
She imdiately sprang up to run, but having crouched for too long, her blood circulation was poor, and her vision darkened. She collapsed to the floor with a thud.
Her knees scraped against the ground, sending sharp pain through her body.
She looked up and saw Mu Chengzhu not far away.
Ignoring the pain, she was overco with fear, her limbs trembling.
Why was Mu Chengzhu here? Was he also soone Yun Sisi had brought in to help?
The mory of him pushing her off the building for Yun Sisi in her past life was still vivid in her mind.
He would surely do sothing to her for Yun Sisi again.
Mu Chengzhu noticed that Yun Shifei went pale as a sheet the mont she saw him. She looked utterly terrified, as if she had seen a ghost.
Her entire deanor seed off.
She even panicked and tried to run, only to fall to the ground.
He couldn’t help but step forward. "What’s wrong with you?"
Even if she feared him, it shouldn’t be so extre.
This was too strange.
Seeing Mu Chengzhu approaching, Yun Shifei quickly said, "Don’t co any closer! I... I’ll scream."
As she spoke, she scrambled to her feet again and staggered backward.
She looked like a frightened rabbit.
Mu Chengzhu felt a deep sense of confusion, mixed with slight irritation.
This was ridiculous.
He had assud she might be in so sort of trouble, which was why he made a special effort to co find her. But to his surprise, she was so scared of him it was almost absurd.
A few days ago, the Yun Family had already left the Sumr Resort, but the Mu Family had stayed behind for two extra days. They were planning to visit Datong Temple today before returning to the city.
And yet, they had co across Yun Shifei.
When they were driving past, he had caught a glimpse of a girl hiding near a trash bin, her figure strikingly similar to Yun Shifei.
She even had the sa habit of wearing short sleeves and long pants.
He couldn’t help but ask his father to stop the car so he could check it out. Sure enough, it was her.
He had planned to ask if she was in trouble, but instead, she reacted to him as if he were so kind of monster.
Was he truly that terrifying?
Just as he was about to clarify why she seed so scared, another voice rang out, "Shifei, dear."
Yun Shifei froze when she heard that voice, then imdiately ran toward the person who had spoken.
"Sister Jiaojiao... I... I was so scared..." she stamred.
Mu Chengzhu saw Yun Shifei throw herself into soone else’s arms.
It was a young woman, but she had a short, boyish haircut.
It was clear just how much Yun Shifei depended on her, as she hugged the girl and began sobbing.
The sa Yun Shifei who was terrified of him to the point of trembling was now crying in soone else’s arms.
Mu Chengzhu’s lips pressed into a thin line, and his face turned cold.
For the first ti, he felt he had ddled in sothing he shouldn’t have.
"What’s wrong, Shifei? Don’t cry. Who bullied you? Was it this guy? I’ll beat him up for you!" Xu Yuejiao glared at Mu Chengzhu, looking ready to throw a punch.
Well now, this guy might look all delicate and scholarly, but who knew he was such a jerk?
Yun Shifei stopped crying after a while, calming herself down. She knew it wasn’t safe to linger here.
She shook her head at Xu Yuejiao, then turned to Mu Chengzhu and asked, "Did Yun Sisi send you?"
Mu Chengzhu frowned, unable to understand why she was ntioning Yun Sisi. Still, he shook his head.
So it was just a coincidence?
"Whether you were sent by Yun Sisi or not, I won’t let Yun Sisi off this ti."
Monts ago, she had been trembling with fear, and now she could throw out a threat.
Though her voice was soft and shaky from crying, making it hard to take her words seriously.
Xu Yuejiao had co on her bike, and seeing Yun Shifei’s unsettled state, she asked if Shifei wanted to return to Old Mrs. Xu’s house.
Yun Shifei nodded.
Without hesitation, Xu Yuejiao took her back ho.
Mu Chengzhu stood rooted to the spot, his brows tightly furrowed. Although he didn’t know exactly what had transpired, he could more or less piece things together.
anwhile, Yun Sisi and Xu Yi, who had also been looking for Yun Shifei, ca back empty-handed.
When Yun Sisi saw Mu Chengzhu, she nearly jumped out of her skin.
"Brother Mu... what are you doing here?" Yun Sisi quickly plastered a sweet smile on her face.
"Are you looking for soone?" Mu Chengzhu asked her.
"That’s right, Brother Mu. Have you seen my sister?"
The girl before him smiled beautifully, her features radiant in the blazing sunlight, giving her an almost ethereal beauty.
But at this mont, Mu Chengzhu had no ti to appreciate it.
He had more or less pieced things together.
Yun Shifei’s reaction earlier wasn’t just an act. It seed like he really didn’t know Yun Sisi as well as he thought.
"Sisi! What a coincidence, we et again!" Mu Jiayu exclaid, stepping out of the car.
She had been curious earlier about why Mu Chengzhu had insisted on stopping the car when he saw Yun Shifei near the trash bin.
But after bumping into Yun Sisi, she had completely forgotten her earlier questions.
What a stroke of luck!
They had first t at the Sumr Resort, and now they were running into each other on the streets.
"Sisi, are you going to Datong Temple too?"
"I was planning to, but now I don’t think I can..." Yun Sisi replied.
She hadn’t found Yun Shifei yet, and that spelled disaster for her.
"Sisi, why are your hands so cold? Are you sick?"
Mu Jiayu seed concerned.
How could this be? In such hot weather, Yun Sisi’s hands were freezing.
Mu Jiayu’s words seed to trigger sothing. Yun Sisi shrank her shoulders and suddenly appeared frail.
She shook her head. "It’s nothing, I just feel a little dizzy..."
The next mont, she stumbled forward.
The direction she fell was toward Mu Chengzhu, leaving him no choice but to catch her.
"Brother... Sisi... What’s wrong with Sisi?" Mu Jiayu was clearly panicked.
Holding the girl in his arms, Mu Chengzhu stared at Yun Sisi for a mont before sighing. He bent down and scooped her up. "To the hospital."
