Reborn: Married to the Demon King

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: On the Verge of Bankruptcy

Yun Sisi received the phone call and dialed back, saying she wanted to talk to Yun Shifei.

After a while, she heard Yun Shifei’s voice on the other end of the line.

"Hello, who's this?"

"Big sister, I'm your younger sister, Sisi." Yun Sisi’s voice sounded sweet and coy, but with a hint of sarcasm.

She was doing it on purpose—she was here for the !

Unexpectedly, Yun Sisi called her, leaving Yun Shifei stunned for a moment.

She couldn’t imagine what would prompt Yun Sisi to contact her.

"Big sister, you seem to be enjoying yourself at school, living carefree, aren't you?"

"Do you need something?"

Hearing Yun Shifei’s cold tone, Yun Sisi wanted to laugh even more. Acting so indifferent now, yet wouldn’t she

be asking for help later?

"Haven't you heard about Dad? He's on the verge of bankruptcy, and you're still having the tof your life at

school."

Yun Shifei felt baffled—she had no clue what Yun Sisi was talking about.

A couple of days ago, when she had a phone call with Yun Tiancheng, he didn’t mention anything at all.

"Well, of course, Dad wouldn't tell you. You didn’t see him the last t| met him—he looked so worn out. | heard

he hasn't had a proper night's sleep for days."

Listening to Yun Sisi’s remarks made Yun Shifei frown slightly, her heart filled with worry but also skepticism.

Could what Yun Sisi was saying really be true? If not, she could simply call Yun Tiancheng to confirm it.

Unwilling to waste ttalking to Yun Sisi, Yun Shifei hung up and immediately dialed her hnumber.

The phone rang for a while but no one answered.

Yun Shifei disconnected and called Yun Tiancheng’s company.

This time, it connected quickly.

"Hello." On the other end, Yun Tiancheng’s voice cthrough.

"Dad," Yun Shifei called out.

"Shifei? What's the matter?" Yun Tiancheng asked. For Yun Shifei to call him suddenly, it had to be something

urgent.

"Is something wrong with your company?" Yun Shifei decided to get straight to the point.

"No, no, everything's fine," Yun Tiancheng chuckled.

Yun shifei didn’t believe a word of it.

"You're lying to me, aren't you?"

She knew Yun Tiancheng too well—if things were truly fine, he would've responded with indignation, demanding

to know who spread the rumors.

Realizing he couldn't fool Yun Shifei, Yun Tiancheng sighed and admitted, "There are indeed sissues, but

Shifei, don’t worry about it. | can handle them."

But how could it be nothing? Yun Sisi said the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

From Yun Tiancheng’s tone, she could sense his exhaustion. If the company was indeed in trouble... just thinking

about it made her uneasy. It wasn’t that she feared being unable to live comfortably—she was scared her father

might collapse.

In her previous life, she hadn't encountered anything like this. Or was it because she had left hand

detached herself so much that she didn’t know about it?

Yun shifei felt dazed.

"Dad, don’t push yourself too hard," Yun Shifei said with concern. She wished she didn’t have to stay at school

right now. Maybe she should take leave and go hto check on Yun Tiancheng.

Otherwise, being miles away, and if Yun Tiancheng decided to hide the truth, she would remain in the dark about

the situation.

Yun Shifei made up her mind—she would apply for leave to visit home.

After chatting with Yun Tiancheng for a while longer and advising him to take care of his health, she finally ended

the call.

The girl furrowed her brow, lowering her gaze—what could she possibly do?

She confided in Xu Yuejiao about her plan to return to South City.

Xu Yuejiao immediately objected, "That's not a good idea, Feifei. Don’t act on impulse. If the company’s situation

is truly that dire, your return wouldn’t change anything."

Yun Shifei suddenly realized Xu Yuejiao was right—she was just a student. Even if she could earn smoney, it

would be impossible to settle massive debts.

Her gaze fell, her face clouded with an expression of worry she hadn't worn for a long time.

"Then, what should | do?" Yun Shifei asked Xu Yuejiao.

"How about | call my parents to ask? They might know something."

Yun Shifei nodded. That made sense—if she couldn't get answers, perhaps Xu Yuejiao could.

The two headed to the phone booth, inserted coins, and Xu Yuejiao dialed her family’s number.

"Hi Mom, how have you been lately? I... I'm doing well..."

Xu Yuejiao began chatting with her mother about trivial matters.

After scasual talk, Xu Yuejiao cut to the chase.

"By the way, | wanted to ask—has Uncle been facing any trouble lately? Uh... | see... That sounds really bad.

What exactly happened?"

Listening to Xu Yuejiao’s shift in tone—from lively to increasingly heavy—and watching her expression grow

somber, Yun Shifei understood that Yun Tiancheng’s situation was far from optimistic.

After the call, Xu Yuejiao relayed the details of Yun Tiancheng’s predicament to Yun Shifei, looking at her cousin

with a face full of compassion.

She thought Yun Shifei was truly unfortunate.

Kidnapped as a child and missing for years, she had finally returned and was starting to enjoy life a little. But

now, the Yun Family was about to go bankrupt!

This...

Seeing Yun Shifei’s worried expression, Xu Yuejiao couldn't help but share in the anxiety.

She was deeply concerned for Yun Shifei.

Such a beautiful and intelligent girl—once thrust into poverty and burdened with heavy debts, her fate would

becunimaginably difficult.

Yet, she reasoned, even if the Yun Family went under, there was still the Xu Family. Old Mrs. Xu adored Yun Shifei

and wouldn't let her suffer.

So Xu Yuejiao hugged Yun Shifei and

smiled, "Feifei, don’t be scared, its

fine—een your INNO hold on,

But she felt Yun Tiancheng was honest and upright—it didn’t make sense for him to offend anyone.

A young master from the Qin Family?

Yun Shifei’s eyes narrowed. Beijing. The Qin Family.

Unbidden, the image of Qin Yumo's face surfaced in her mind. Could it be him?

Inside a private suite at an upscale club.

Cheng Lie leaned against the sofa as someone poured him a glass of wine.

The young man’s icy demeanor stood out starkly against the room’s lively atmosphere.

"Cheng Lie, lighten up, have a couple of drinks," Qin Chi Jin coaxed him like he was dealing with a stubborn child.

The scene made Zhao Pan, who was watching nearby, grit his teeth.

Their Fourth Master—when had he ever humiliated himself like this?
