On the way back, Yun Sisi had already made up her mind. Wasn’t it just about accepting punishnt?
Xu Yi must have already told Old Mrs. Xu that most of the bla lay with her.
Thinking this, Yun Sisi felt slightly relieved.
She was so obedient, surely Old Mrs. Xu would forgive her.
But unexpectedly, when she got ho, she not only saw Old Sir Xu, Yun Shifei, and Xu Yuejiao.
She also saw her elder and younger uncles.
What a scene...
"Xu Shengguo, you must properly discipline your daughter. Stirring up such a disgraceful ss—as if Shi Fei really encounters a mishap, let’s see how I deal with all of you!"
"Mom, don’t worry. When we get back, I’ll sort this girl out."
The elder uncle smiled amiably and gave Xu Yi a sharp look.
Old Mrs. Xu then turned to Yun Sisi. "Sisi, that girl Xu Yi said this was her terrible idea. Is this true?"
"Yes." Yun Sisi looked innocent. "But I was wrong too; I should have stopped Sister Yiyi."
"Are you sure it’s exactly as you said, or are you deliberately guiding Xu Yi to act like that?"
The word "deliberately" was uttered with notable emphasis by Old Mrs. Xu.
To so extent, she believed this was entirely Yun Sisi’s doing.
Under her stern gaze, Yun Sisi was on the brink of tears.
"Grandma, are you doubting ?"
"I am your grandmother; I can’t discipline you directly. I have no choice but to call your parents over." Old Mrs. Xu ignored her further. "I’ve already called your mom and dad; they are probably on their way now."
"Grandma, you lied to ! Didn’t you say you wouldn’t tell my mom and dad?"
Just earlier when they returned, Old Mrs. Xu had said she would only inform Xu Ya and Yun Tiancheng if Sisi didn’t leave the hospital.
Sisi specifically left the hospital for fear of being caught by them.
But unexpectedly, she was tricked by Old Mrs. Xu.
She was so angry that tears stread down her face.
Xu Yi couldn’t bear it and tried to speak up for Yun Sisi. But as if predicting her intent, Old Mrs. Xu gave her a glance.
Xu Yi pursed her lips and refrained from speaking.
Old Mrs. Xu chuckled darkly to herself. There wasn’t a single person here willing to act as the villain.
So why not let her be that villain?
After all, in Yun Sisi’s mind, anyone not standing with her was "bad." That being the case, she decided to fully own that role.
Soon, Xu Ya and Yun Tiancheng arrived. They first checked on Yun Shifei’s injuries to assess their severity and then carefully inquired about what had happened.
"Yun Sisi, how could you do such a thing? You’ve truly disappointed !" Yun Tiancheng was the first to lose his temper.
Originally, he had already begun harboring so biases against Yun Sisi. Now, this incident only exacerbated those feelings.
Just thinking about how Yun Shifei was almost abducted again, how they almost faced yet another separation, Yun Tiancheng felt as though his heart was being painfully twisted.
He hadn’t even had the chance to properly love this daughter. How could she possibly disappear again in such an inexplicable manner?
Yun Sisi burst into uncontrollable sobbing, her tears and snot running together.
She was terrified.
From childhood to now, she had committed countless wrongdoings, but no one had ever discovered them.
Why was it that ever since Yun Shifei ca into the picture, nothing seed to go her way?
And now, with her malicious intentions exposed, would Xu Ya and Yun Tiancheng stop loving her?
"Dad, Mom, I’m sorry. I know I was foolish, but did you know? I did it because of you!"
"Because of us?" Yun Tiancheng didn’t understand how Yun Sisi was linking this back to them.
"Ever since my sister ca back, you gave all your affection to her. The love you’ve shown has decreased so much. So when Sister Yiyi suggested that idea, I went along with it. Because I thought, if my sister truly left, would you start loving like you did before?"
Yun Sisi sobbed as she confessed.
What she said at that mont—except for intentionally bringing up Xu Yi’s suggestion—was entirely true.
Deep down, she truly believed that if Yun Shifei disappeared, the people who loved her would love her as much as they once did.
This simple thought—surely Xu Ya and Yun Tiancheng would understand her, wouldn’t they?
She just wanted everyone around her to give her all their love, that’s all.
The mont she finished speaking, the living room fell into a dead silence. Not a sound could be heard.
The adults were all silent, seemingly absorbing the gravity of her words.
Even Old Mrs. Xu knew that this was indeed an issue for the Yun family.
In the past, all the attention was showered on Yun Sisi, but now that Yun Shifei had returned, parental love inevitably had to be shared with another child.
It was reasonable for the child who had once received all the affection to feel dissatisfied.
"But you cannot build your happiness on soone else’s pain! Sisi, do you understand what would have awaited if I were abducted again? It wouldn’t be becoming soone’s foster daughter again, but being sold to a remote mountain village, forced into marriage, compelled to have children, and living out a life of misery."
At this mont, Yun Shifei, who had remained quiet all this ti, finally spoke up.
From the beginning, she hadn’t said a word of reproach against Yun Sisi.
But hearing this, she couldn’t hold back anymore.
She felt that Yun Sisi belonged to that particular type—both stupid and cruel.
Wanting happiness by making others suffer.
How was that different from wishing for one’s own survival at the expense of soone else’s life?
Yun Shifei’s words were like needles, piercing the hearts of everyone around.
At first, they had all sympathized with Yun Sisi, thinking that although the child had done wrong, her misstep was motivated rely by a longing for more parental love.
But now, Yun Shifei had revealed an entirely different perspective they had never considered!
If Yun Shifei truly were abducted again, how atrocious her fate would be!
"Shi Fei makes a valid point. Xu Ya, you had better discipline your daughter properly," Old Mrs. Xu remarked, her tone betraying her disinterest in continuing this discussion.
From her expression, everyone could tell that she was utterly disappointed in Yun Sisi.
This disappointnt was even greater than what she felt for Xu Yi.
At least Xu Yi was still allowed to leave. Regarding Yun Sisi, Old Mrs. Xu didn’t even spare her a glance.
Xu Ya no longer knew what to do.
This ti, Yun Sisi had truly gone too far. No matter how much she doted on her, there was no forgiving this behavior.
Not to ntion that, in the past, she had favored her much more than Yun Shifei.
If she could do this to Yun Shifei despite that favoritism—
What would happen if Xu Ya tried to balance her love equally between both children? Xu Ya didn’t even dare imagine.
"Sisi, go sit in the car for now," Xu Ya said coldly, her eyes on Yun Sisi.
Whatever needed saying would be dealt with later.
It was over. Completely over.
Yun Sisi realized that there was no way to talk her way out of this now.
Unable to help herself, she glanced at Yun Shifei. How could she be so eloquent?!
Everyone had almost been fooled by Sisi, ready to forgive her—but just one sentence from Yun Shifei had snapped them back to reality.
