At this mont, Xu Yuejiao brought Yun Shifei back to Old Mrs. Xu’s house.
Yun Shifei was no longer crying; her emotions had stabilized.
"Sister, if anything happens, just talk directly to Grandma. She’ll stand up for you." Although Xu Yuejiao didn’t know what had occurred, from the brief ntion Yun Shifei made of Yun Sisi earlier, she could tell that Yun Sisi was definitely involved.
Earlier in the morning, Old Mrs. Xu had called to say Yun Shifei and Yun Sisi would be visiting Datong Temple and asked her to wait for them at the crossroads.
Eager to et Yun Shifei sooner, she had pedaled over on a bicycle.
No one could have expected what she saw just monts ago.
Don’t let Xu Yuejiao’s outward carefree and boyish personality deceive you—she’s actually extrely observant and ticulous.
That’s why she hadn’t asked Yun Shifei about what had happened during the entire ride back.
She simply wanted to give Yun Shifei ti to compose herself.
Yun Shifei nodded and walked into the house.
Outside, the sun was blazing, but Old Mrs. Xu was inside playing with Little Guai, tossing a ball into the corner, while Little Guai darted over like an arrow to grab it.
Seeing Yun Shifei and Xu Yuejiao enter, she froze for a mont.
"Why are you back already?"
Weren’t they supposed to be at Datong Temple?
Even though the temple wasn’t far away, there was no way they’d be back this quickly.
"Grandma, Shifei was bullied. Look at her injuries."
Xu Yuejiao pointed to Yun Shifei’s elbow, then rolled up her pant leg to reveal the scrape on her knee.
"What happened?" Seeing the bright-red abrasions, Old Mrs. Xu felt as though her heart skipped a beat.
Yun Shifei recounted everything that had happened in full detail.
Even thinking back now, she still felt chills running down her spine. If they’d succeeded in catching her, what would have beco of her?
She couldn’t believe Yun Sisi could be so venomous.
Only caring about her own happiness, completely disregarding others’ lives.
For soone to pursue their happiness by rcilessly destroying others—how terrifying is that?
As Old Mrs. Xu listened to Yun Shifei’s account, her heart ached so much it seed as though she might cry.
She hugged Yun Shifei tightly. "Shifei, I’m so relieved you’re okay. Don’t worry; Grandma will see justice done for you!"
Her later words were cold and sharp, a stark contrast to her usual gentle tone—it was clear she was truly enraged.
Initially, she had assud Yun Shifei and Yun Sisi simply didn’t get along because Yun Sisi couldn’t accept the sudden appearance of another child competing for affection.
She had naively thought that if they spent more ti together, the sisters’ relationship might improve.
But she never imagined Yun Sisi would go to such lengths to harm soone.
If things had gone her way, wouldn’t Yun Shifei have been abducted again?
Having just returned, how could she be forced to endure such horrors again?
Thinking about this, Old Mrs. Xu felt a wave of dread. She quickly called her two sons, instructing them to co to her house at once.
Afterwards, she fetched the dical kit to treat Yun Shifei’s injuries.
While applying the dicine, she murmured, "Shifei, rest assured, Grandma won’t let you suffer such injustice; no one can bully you like this."
A foster child, raised in luxury as if she were their own—she had already been more than generous with her.
But to be so ungrateful and try to drive away one’s biological sibling—this was absolutely intolerable to Old Mrs. Xu.
Yun Shifei pressed her lips together as she looked at her arms and legs.
Though the injuries weren’t severe, applying the dicine still stung unbearably.
As Yun Shifei maintained her silent and composed deanor, Xu Yuejiao watched her and couldn’t help but marvel. Her sister was so obedient, far too obedient.
How could soone so good-natured be subjected to such abuse? The more Xu Yuejiao thought about it, the angrier she beca.
Later, when she saw Xu Yi, she feared she might lose control and hit her.
Her relationship with Xu Yi had always been lukewarm, as the two clashed in personality. Whenever they were together, argunts or physical fights were inevitable, and as they grew older, they drifted further apart.
They lived separately, only crossing paths on holidays.
She later heard that Xu Yi was dating a delinquent—a relationship opposed by her parents. Yet, Xu Yi insistently stayed with him.
Xu Yuejiao, knowing Xu Yi’s nature, understood that despite her sweet and docile facade, she was deeply rebellious.
But she never expected her malice to run so deep.
If Yun Sisi was involved, she should certainly have better knowledge given her older age—was she really incapable of discerning right from wrong?
The more Xu Yuejiao thought about it, the angrier she grew.
While waiting at ho, Old Mrs. Xu brought a pile of popsicles and snacks for Yun Shifei to choose from.
Normally, she only allowed Yun Shifei to have one popsicle a day, but rembering the hardships Yun Shifei had just endured—the crying and the injuries—she naturally wanted to spoil her granddaughter with treats.
Soon, soone ca rushing into the house.
Old Mrs. Xu saw Xu Yi.
Just as she was about to scold her, Xu Yi grabbed her hand. "Grandma, sothing’s wrong! Sisi fainted and was taken to the hospital."
Yun Shifei froze.
Everyone in the house was stunned.
"She’s pretending!" Old Mrs. Xu imdiately saw through the ploy.
There was no need to go see Yun Sisi to know she was feigning.
She was clearly trying to avoid being held accountable.
That girl—her cunning was truly frightening.
"It’s true, Grandma! Sisi still hasn’t regained consciousness. You have to go see her," Xu Yi said urgently, glancing at Yun Shifei. "I know I almost caused Shifei’s death today, and it’s entirely my fault. It was my terrible idea, but please, go check on Sisi first."
Yun Shifei hadn’t expected Xu Yi to defend Yun Sisi so fiercely.
Even now, this ant that Yun Sisi couldn’t truly be held accountable.
She had already worked up the courage to confront Yun Sisi and sever ties without holding back.
But why was there still soone protecting her?
Yun Shifei didn’t understand.
Hearing Xu Yi’s words and observing her expression, doubt finally flickered across Old Mrs. Xu’s face. "You’re saying it’s true?"
"Absolutely! She’s at the clinic right now. Grandma, you’ll see for yourself if you go."
As she spoke, Xu Yi pulled Old Mrs. Xu along.
Seeing that Xu Yi didn’t seem to be lying, Old Mrs. Xu realized she couldn’t go too far if this matter truly wasn’t entirely Yun Sisi’s fault.
Besides, Yun Sisi was unconscious now. Anything to be said would have to wait until she awakened.
Old Mrs. Xu turned to Yun Shifei. "Shifei, Grandma will head to the hospital for now. You stay here with Sister Jiaojiao. Rest assured, Grandma will see justice done for you."
After Old Mrs. Xu left, Yun Shifei lowered her gaze and quietly ate her popsicle, saying nothing.
Xu Yuejiao noticed Yun Shifei’s low mood and couldn’t help speaking up. "Shifei, Xu Yi is dood. If your sister hurt you, Grandma certainly won’t let her off. Don’t let Grandma’s kind and gentle deanor fool you—when she’s mad, she’s fierce."
But no matter how fierce she was, it wouldn’t be enough to truly hold Yun Sisi accountable.
She didn’t want to see Yun Sisi anymore; she was so wicked.
But there was nothing she could do.
Absolutely nothing.
