"We came from a rural area in the north to work here. At that time, her father owed money, and I had just given birth to her. We couldn’t afford to raise a child, but selling her—that we could never do. After much thought, the only choice was to leave her at the hospital," the woman said tearfully, her nose running.
As she spoke, her gaze lingered on Yun Sisi.
That look held an intense and intricate mixture of emotions.
Beside her, the woman’s husband was also staring at Yun Sisi with the same expression.
But Yun Sisi felt no joy whatsoever.
Abandoning a child at the hospital—how is that any different from selling them?
She didn’t care whether they were truly her birth parents; from the moment they abandoned her, they ceased to be!
"I don’t know you. My parents are right here, and they treat me very well," Yun Sisi said, her whole body feeling colder and colder, rejecting this cruel reality. "Please leave."
Her voice carried an icy tone.
No matter how skilled she usually was at pretending, in this moment, her true emotions surged to the surface.
In her room upstairs, Yun Shifei heard the commotion from downstairs and stepped out to take a look.
She noticed the two middle-aged individuals in the living room below.
From their conversation, it seemed they were Yun Sisi’s biological parents.
The way they looked at Yun Sisi carried emotions of both excitement and guilt.
This surprised Yun Shifei.
Given what she had experienced in her previous life, during the year she passed away, Yun Sisi’s biological parents seemed non-existent—they had never shown up.
So why were they suddenly appearing now?
Even though her rebirth had indeed changed the trajectory of many things,
the arrival of Yun Sisi’s biological parents didn’t seem to have much to do with her rebirth.
She had done nothing that might lead to their appearance.
Could it be that someone had deliberately sought them out?
Yun Shifei furrowed her brows—who could it be?
After pondering for a moment, Yun Shifei thought she might be overthinking.
Among the people around her, only those in her family had the capability, but they were unlikely to do such a thing.
Could it really be that, after her rebirth, everything had changed?
Would many things no longer follow the same path as before?
Yun Shifei pressed her lips together; if events didn’t follow their previous course, then that would be for the better.
Having endured such misery in her last life, she had no desire to go through it again in this one.
What shocked her was how Yun Sisi, once the beloved "heavenly star" around whom the world revolved, had now ended up in this life.
At this moment, Yun Sisi was so flustered that she was about to cry.
Her biological parents—they could’ve appeared earlier or later, but they chose this exact moment—surely there was an ulterior motive!
Especially now, when her relationship with Xu Ya and Yun Tiancheng wasn’t as good as it had been at the beginning. If they truly wanted to take her away, wouldn’t her adoptive parents be happy to see her go?
Xu Ya might hesitate, but Yun Tiancheng would surely be eager for her departure.
No! She refused to leave.
She had grown accustomed to a life of luxury and fine clothes; she would never go back to that impoverished, hopeless, bottom-tier existence.
Thinking of this, Yun Sisi’s reaction became even more intense. She hid behind Xu Ya as if she had been frightened.
"Mom, you are my mom. They’re not my parents—what kind of parents would abandon their child so cleanly and decisively?"
Her current expression was the quintessential look of a pitiful, discarded child, tugging at Xu Ya’s heartstrings with a pang of sympathy.
