But just having Mom isn’t enough. Most of the Yun Family’s assets are still in Yun Tiancheng’s hands.
If she can’t earn Yun Tiancheng’s favor, she will no longer be the pampered young lady she once was.
Soon, she will beco an ordinary, average girl. She might not even be able to continue her dance classes anymore.
Right now, although Xu Ya still buys her pretty clothes, they’re no longer those one-of-a-kind imported dresses from overseas.
The quality of life is declining at a conspicuous rate.
She doesn’t particularly like the life she has now. She wants to go back to how things were.
If she had a choice, she could reluctantly agree to live under the sa roof as Yun Shifei. She wouldn’t try to drive her away anymore.
After all, living under the sa roof would still give her what she wanted, wouldn’t it? Thinking about it this way, it really makes no difference.
Only after losing sothing do you realize how good it was to have it in the first place.
At this mont, Yun Sisi wasn’t able to speak, so Xu Ya paused and then explained the situation to Yun Tiancheng.
Yun Tiancheng couldn’t help but frown and ask Yun Shifei, "Shifei, did you really do this?"
"It was ," Yun Shifei said flatly.
She couldn’t say it was Cheng Lie who did it, even though Cheng Lie could use his autism as a defense. But Xu Ya was so protective of Yun Sisi, she would definitely go looking for Cheng Lie.
From the outside, others saw Cheng Lie as a sick child, but the Cheng Family mbers who interacted with him day after day were surely fed up with him.
If they realized Cheng Lie caused trouble, who knows what they’d do to him afterward.
She rembered the ti Cheng Lie injured his hand.
And after that, nothing more was said.
She was really afraid that this ti, the Cheng Family would co up with another way to bully him.
As for her, she just needed to apologize. At most, she’d worsen Xu Ya’s impression of her.
It didn’t really matter. Anyway, Xu Ya never particularly liked her to begin with.
Xu Ya didn’t know about Yun Shifei’s inner thoughts. After hearing Yun Shifei’s apology, she turned to Yun Sisi and said, "Sisi, let’s go back and eat dinner."
"Dad, did you cook today?" Yun Sisi noticed the apron on Yun Tiancheng and seed to have stumbled upon so exciting discovery.
"Dad’s cooking is delicious, but he rarely cooks. It’s been two or three years since I last tasted Dad’s food," Yun Sisi spoke with a hint of sadness in her tone.
She always had a way of making others think she was pitiful with just a few words.
At this mont, Yun Tiancheng was supposed to feel sorry for her.
"My cooking really isn’t that great," Yun Tiancheng, having weathered many storms in the business world, imdiately saw through Yun Sisi’s intentions.
Even her own father was disdainful toward her now!
Yun Sisi felt as though her heart was breaking.
Why did everyone around her start to hate her one by one after Yun Shifei appeared?
Mu Chengzhu had, and now Yun Tiancheng too.
She didn’t care anymore. Tonight, she was determined to stay for dinner.
She pretended not to understand Yun Tiancheng’s ssage and tugged on Xu Ya’s arm: "Mom, it’s been so long since we’ve had a al with Dad. Isn’t it good for the four of us to eat together?"
Four of us.
Yun Sisi included Yun Shifei in the count.
This inclusion made Xu Ya feel sowhat sentintal. Sisi had grown more mature, and no longer excluded Shifei.
She had always hoped to repair her relationship with Yun Shifei, and she also wanted to nd the bond between Yun Sisi and Yun Shifei.
The family she envisioned was one where all four of them lived in harmony.
Now, with Sisi beginning to accept Shifei, she believed that one day, they could truly get along peacefully.
Xu Ya suddenly felt deeply comforted.
She looked toward Yun Tiancheng: "It’s been ages since we’ve had a al together. Since it’s dinner ti now, why don’t we eat together?"
Yun Tiancheng: "..."
What could he say now?
He wanted to refuse but couldn’t bring himself to.
He thought about the reason they ca—because Yun Shifei spilled milk tea on Yun Sisi. Although he couldn’t quite believe it, since Shifei admitted it, he had nothing more to say.
Having a al together could at least serve as compensation for Yun Sisi.
Yun Tiancheng stepped aside to let them in.
"I didn’t prepare much food since I wasn’t expecting guests. If you don’t mind, just make do with what’s here," Yun Tiancheng said politely.
This politeness carried a sense of distance, making Xu Ya feel sowhat uncomfortable.
It was clear that she and Yun Tiancheng could never go back to how they were.
At dinner, Yun Sisi maintained a sweet tone, praising Yun Tiancheng’s cooking and reminiscing about happy father-daughter monts in an attempt to awaken Yun Tiancheng’s affection for her.
She even started complinting Yun Shifei.
"I heard that my sister’s grades have improved a lot. If you ever need help with sothing in the future, feel free to ask !"
She pretended to be mature and kind-hearted, eager to build a rapport.
Yun Shifei frowned slightly, while Yun Tiancheng also felt that Yun Sisi was overly calculating.
Only Xu Ya was pleased with Yun Sisi’s behavior.
Sisi had truly grown up. It seed that the ti spent living apart had worked.
If Shifei and Sisi could get along, Xu Ya felt confident she could also repair her relationship with Shifei.
However, there was sothing she didn’t like at this mont.
Yun Sisi seed to be putting effort into building a connection with Yun Shifei, but Yun Shifei still treated Yun Sisi coldly, even appearing sowhat resistant.
"Sister, this eggplant is so delicious. You should try it." Yun Sisi placed a piece of eggplant into Yun Shifei’s bowl.
Yun Shifei glanced at her with a hint of displeasure.
"You don’t need to serve food."
"Alright then..." Yun Sisi seed a bit disappointed, but quickly smiled again. "If you don’t like serving you, then help yourself!"
If it had been before, Xu Ya would have stepped in to reprimand Yun Shifei.
But now, knowing how strained her relationship with Yun Shifei was, she decided it wasn’t the right ti to speak.
So, she just shook her head and said nothing.
This al was hard for Yun Shifei to swallow.
Yun Sisi hardly ate either, determined to use this dinner to change Yun Tiancheng’s opinion of her.
She wanted to return to the big villa.
Living in that spacious, luxurious house was far better than her current ordinary apartnt.
She was plotting while the doorbell rang again.
Yun Shifei got up to answer it.
Zhao Haishuang was standing there.
"Shifei, do you know Sisi’s phone number?"
Yun Shifei looked confused: "What happened?"
Why was Zhao Haishuang looking for Yun Sisi?
"Here’s the thing—Xiao Lie ca ho and told he accidentally spilled milk tea on Sisi. This isn’t sothing to take lightly! Such hot milk tea spilled on a girl—what if it hurt her? I need to apologize to her."
Zhao Haishuang was annoyed. Cheng Lie, that little brat, how could he do sothing like this? And now she had to clean up his ss.
She was frustrated with Yun Shifei too.
If Yun Shifei hadn’t been taking Cheng Lie around all the ti, wouldn’t he have just stayed ho and avoided causing trouble?
Yun Shifei froze montarily: "Cheng Lie said that?"
"Of course! ...Ah, Shifei, is Sisi alright?" She rembered that Yun Shifei had been present then.
