After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King-Chapter 493: Rivals Meet

Yun Shifei learned that Yun Sisi had been imprisoned.

If the kidnapping charge against her was truly confirmed, she’d face at least ten years of imprisonment. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

How much time does a young woman have in her beautiful years? After ten years, when she gets out, everything will have changed.

As for Mu Chengzhu, it seemed he truly had no feelings for Yun Sisi in this lifetime; he still hadn’t shown up even now.

Yun Shifei didn’t want to think about them anymore. After Yun Sisi went in, her connections to that past life could finally be erased in one stroke.

As for Mu Chengzhu, she would sort out things with him later.

Upon hearing the news that Yun Shifei returned safely, Xu Yuejiao showed up two days after she had previously left.

The two sisters chatted and slept together. When Xu Yuejiao found out that Yun Shifei was taken away by Mu Chengzhu the day she went missing and later saved by Cheng Lie, she fumed for half a day, cursing up a storm about Mu Chengzhu.

Then she showed concern, asking Yun Shifei if anything had happened between her and Cheng Lie.

Yun Shifei shook her head.

Xu Yuejiao was anxious and disappointed: "What the heck, Feifei, are you really okay with that? Aren’t you worried he isn’t capable?"

Yun Shifei shook her head again.

Looking at Yun Shifei’s innocent and clueless face, Xu Yuejiao said, "You’re still young, you don’t understand just how important harmony in this aspect is."

Yun Shifei: "..."

She spoke as if she was much older than Yun Shifei.

"If he really isn’t capable, then you guys shouldn’t get married."

"It’s fine, I don’t care about that kind of thing."

"Tsk, well, you don’t care now, because you haven’t experienced it. You’ll understand later." Xu Yuejiao shot her a knowing smirk.

Not wanting to continue this topic, Yun Shifei changed subjects and asked Xu Yuejiao: "Wanna go grab some food together? I’m the boss now, you know!"

Seeing Yun Shifei’s smug expression, Xu Yuejiao felt a pang of jealousy. Ugh! She couldn’t just say Cheng Lie wasn’t capable; he wasn’t incapable in everything.

At least, he had money—and talent.

Just the way he pampered her cousin, seeming as if he’d pluck stars from the sky for her; Xu Yuejiao knew Cheng Lie and Yun Shifei were absolutely perfect together.

Unlike herself—she had nothing. Talking about whether men are capable didn’t even apply; she didn’t have a man.

For some reason, at that moment, Xu Yuejiao suddenly thought of Zhou Li.

She had already made her feelings clear to him, but she couldn’t seem to forget him. Maybe she would just silently keep him in her heart.

Yun Shifei took Xu Yuejiao to eat dessert.

"Sister Jiaojiao, you don’t have to hold back with me. Order whatever you want!"

Seeing Yun Shifei’s extravagant flair, Xu Yuejiao didn’t hold back and ordered plenty.

Yun Shifei even recommended Xu Yuejiao try some of the new items.

These were all desserts she had worked on with her master, incorporating features that would trend years down the line.

Looking at the array of sweets on the table, along with two cups of milk tea, Yun Shifei felt happy just staring at the display.

If this were in the future, she thought about how she’d take great photos of it and upload them online.

Yun Shifei had just taken a sip of hot milk tea when she heard someone upfront saying: "Hey, isn’t this Shifei?"

She looked up and saw a sunny, radiant face.

The face in her memory, tanned healthy wheat-colored skin, seemed darker now.

He looked more mature and steady, yet his smile was still so brilliantly radiant.

Yun Shifei greeted him instinctively: "Mr. Ming."

Who else could it be but Ming Zeqi?

This was the teacher who had taught her for three years. Honestly, without Ming Zeqi, she wouldn’t have been able to pass her college entrance exam back then.

After the exam, she had deliberately given him a gift to thank him.

In the years since, they hadn’t met again.

She never expected to run into him here.

"Shifei, long time no see. You’re so beautiful now, I almost didn’t recognize you."

"Mr. Ming, you too—you’ve become so much more handsome and dashing."

The two immediately slipped into a mutual compliment session.

Yun Shifei then noticed the girl beside Ming Zeqi and wanted to ask if she was his girlfriend. But when she saw the girl’s face, she froze.

Isn’t this...

Yun Shifei turned to look at Xu Yuejiao.

Xu Yuejiao had already locked eyes with Ming Jingru, and the tension between their gazes sparked like lightning in the air.

Xu Yuejiao thought, even if she no longer liked Zhou Li, it didn’t mean she could let go of what Ming Jingru had done to her so easily.

Yun Shifei also felt uneasy.

She turned to Ming Zeqi and asked, "And this is...?"

"Oh, this is my sister. I brought her here today to get something to eat."

Yun Shifei was about to say something, but Xu Yuejiao had already jumped in: "We’ve already ordered plenty of food we won’t finish. Why don’t you join us?"

Earlier, when Yun Shifei egged her into ordering, she’d indeed ordered a lot—a table full of dishes, thinking she’d pack up the leftovers to take home later.

Turns out, her over-ordering worked out perfectly now.

Yun Shifei could sense Xu Yuejiao’s hostility toward Ming Jingru and found it a headache.

They hadn’t shown animosity during previous encounters—Xu Yuejiao had even told her she planned to give up on Zhou Li. So why did she still hold such deep animosity toward Ming Jingru now?

But Xu Yuejiao wasn’t wrong that mingling here would be a good chance to catch up with Ming Zeqi after all these years.

So Yun Shifei also invited them to sit down.

Ming Zeqi, straightforward as ever, didn’t notice the brewing tension between Xu Yuejiao and Ming Jingru at all. He even turned to Ming Jingru and said, "Jingru, why don’t you join us?"

Ming Jingru pursed her lips, "No way. This is something others are treating me to. I want you to treat me instead."

"Alright, alright," Ming Zeqi, ever the good older brother, replied promptly to appease her.

But Ming Jingru remained unhappy.

Seriously, how unlucky was it to bump into Xu Yuejiao and Yun Shifei here?

If they discovered how poor she actually was, what should she do?

"Come on, Ming Jingru, don’t be so reserved. Didn’t we work in the same factory during winter break? Why care about this now?" Xu Yuejiao said with a smile.

Seeing Ming Jingru’s displeasure only made Xu Yuejiao want to provoke her more.

A gentleman’s vengeance could wait ten years, and now, Xu Yuejiao intended to grab onto this chance for payback.

Fine, let her eat—and expose her true self to her brother while she’s at it!

This was Xu Yuejiao’s genuine motive for inviting them to join. Ming Zeqi seemed more reasonable; he might even be able to knock some sense into his sister.

Ming Jingru stared at Xu Yuejiao’s smug face and grew angrier. Did this simple-minded person really think she’d outsmart her? Too naive!

With a forced smile, she replied, "Alright, let’s eat together then."

The four of them sat together, but the atmosphere turned strangely tense. Yun Shifei could only chat with Ming Zeqi, asking about his recent life.

Ming Zeqi said, "I’m working at a training center now, teaching science subjects. The pay’s decent."

"That’s great." Yun Shifei smiled.

Meanwhile, Xu Yuejiao and Ming Jingru were locked in a stare-down battle of wills.
