Mu Jiayu admitted that she was starting to dislike Yun Shifei more and more.
Because she discovered that her brother didn’t seem to hate Yun Shifei anymore!
Last ti, Yun Sisi told her she saw Mu Chengzhu and Yun Shifei coming back to the neighborhood together.
Mu Chengzhu used to hate Yun Shifei so much. Yun Shifei couldn’t even look at him without feeling sick, and now they were coming back together?
This was downright bizarre.
And on top of that, last ti Mu Chengzhu even yelled at her for Yun Shifei.
The more Mu Jiayu thought about it, the more she disliked Yun Shifei.
Sisi was already so pitiful, and this Yun Shifei didn’t just take over the Yun Family—she even went and lured her brother away.
She couldn’t stand it.
A burning fury rose in her heart, like it was about to rip Yun Shifei apart.
Yun Shifei could feel Mu Jiayu’s emotions.
She really hated her.
Though Yun Sisi didn’t show much expression either, Yun Shifei knew that Yun Sisi hated her just as much as Mu Jiayu.
Perhaps even more.
But what did that have to do with her?
She was innocent. She hadn’t done anything, but still attracted so much hatred. She wasn’t about to take the bla for it.
Thinking for a mont, Yun Shifei asked Mu Jiayu, "Do you hate ?"
Seeing Yun Shifei ask this question seriously, Mu Jiayu frowned slightly.
"Glad you know."
"Why do you hate ? Because you think I forced Yun Sisi out and took over the Yun Family, or because your brother doesn’t hate anymore."
Damn! Turns out she was aware of it, and still put on that innocent act.
Mu Jiayu was practically exploding with anger. She really wanted her brother to see how scheming this woman was.
No matter how furious she felt, Yun Shifei remained utterly calm.
She even smiled at her and said, "If you hate because of these things, your life must be full of pain. I hope you can have a life of your own and not let others’ emotions dictate it."
After finishing, Yun Shifei pulled Sun Xiaoqi away.
"You..." Mu Jiayu extended a hand to point at Yun Shifei, wanting her to stop and talk properly.
But she couldn’t say anything at all.
Hope she has a life of her own? That was blatant disdain for her.
Mu Jiayu felt an inexplicable fury.
Yun Sisi, looking pitiful, said to her, "Jia Yu, I’m sorry. Let’s just avoid her from now on. Look, she even bullied you."
"This isn’t bullying. She was just spewing nonsense and being ridiculous."
Nothing more, nothing less.
Mu Jiayu originally wanted to consider what Yun Shifei had just said, but Yun Sisi’s interruption made her stop wondering. At this mont, her hatred for Yun Shifei deepened even more.
The days passed by.
Ever since Song Yang was expelled from school, Yun Shifei’s life at school had beco much more peaceful.
No more people harassing her, and no one was bullying Cheng Lie anymore.
It was a win-win situation.
The closer it got to New Year’s, the closer it was to the end of the sester.
Yun Shifei was diligently studying hard.
Yun Tiancheng hired a tutor for her, and to her surprise, it was Ming Zeqi.
"Mr. Ming, what a coincidence."
Ming Zeqi hadn’t expected to be tutoring Yun Shifei either. After a brief mont of surprise, he smiled at her. "Shifei, we et again."
His sunny deanor was just as before, and he exuded an approachable warmth.
Ming Zeqi explained the lessons to Yun Shifei, and casually asked, "I rember you were getting tutored at Mr. Cheng’s house before. Why aren’t you going there anymore?"
"I felt it wasn’t polite to keep studying at their house."
Ming Zeqi nodded in understanding and said, "Their child has mild autism. I wonder how he’s doing now."
"Are you talking about Cheng Lie? He’s fine. Sir, how about I invite Cheng Lie to join the lessons here?"
"That works too."
Yun Shifei felt that although Cheng Lie had autism, he could understand what others said.
Letting him attend lessons was entirely possible.
Even if he didn’t follow along in class, the exposure to knowledge might subtly impact him over ti. Just like how she still listens to English tapes while asleep, aiming to create habitual mory and make studying easier.
If Cheng Lie adopted a similar approach, even if he didn’t complete howork, over ti, he might achieve good grades.
So Yun Shifei went to the Cheng Family ho to invite Cheng Lie over.
Coincidentally, she ran into Cheng Huai.
Cheng Huai smirked, "Shifei, why are you inviting Xiao Lie but not your dear brother here?"
His smile was a bit greasy, and his gaze toward her carried a hint of malintent.
Yun Shifei felt uncomfortable all over.
She rembered what Sun Xiaoqi had told her previously and refused outright, "Because you’re my brother, and I only enjoy hanging out with people my age."
Unexpectedly, Yun Shifei said this so bluntly. After his brief shock, Cheng Huai didn’t know whether to call her charmingly naive or bewilderingly honest.
This excuse was so straightforward, it risked offending people.
"Can’t you make an exception for your brother?" He asked with that sa smirk.
"Nope, brother, you’re too old to be fun."
At that mont, Cheng Lie ca downstairs, and Yun Shifei quickly pulled him along and waved at Cheng Huai, "Well, brother, I’m off now."
After leaving with Cheng Lie, the smile on Cheng Huai’s face instantly vanished.
This silly girl—was she genuinely naive, or was she pretending?
Before, she was so accommodating, but now she outright rejected him so harshly, as though she didn’t understand how to read his expression.
His face was practically black with resentnt.
Yun Shifei, having left with Cheng Lie, let out a sigh of relief.
For the first ti, she had boldly offended soone without a hint of fear—and she felt exhilarated.
It made her happy.
Turns out, outright refusing soone without worrying about the repercussions could be so liberating.
Yun Shifei couldn’t help but turn to Cheng Lie and say, "Cheng Lie, you should learn to say no too, you know? That way, you won’t constantly be taken advantage of."
Though people say small losses aren’t a big deal, so losses simply shouldn’t be accepted.
Cheng Lie listened to Yun Shifei’s philosophy and felt a twinge of disdain. Did he really need her to explain this to him?
This was sothing he had been trying to teach Yun Shifei not long ago.
If not, why would he feel so upset every ti he saw how naive she was, always accepting one loss after another?
But now, his girl seed to be growing little by little.
When they arrived at the Yun Family ho, Cheng Lie entered the study and saw Ming Zeqi, his face turning cold.
Why was it him?
Ming Zeqi appeared not to notice Cheng Lie’s icy deanor and greeted him cheerfully.
"Cheng Lie, long ti no see! You’re looking more and more handso."
Did he really need his complints?
