CHAPTER 383: CHAPTER 383: DECIDED TO MARRY YUN SISI

Walking out of the prison, Cheng Lie raised his gaze to the azure sky.

Compared to Beijing, the skies of South City seemed bluer and more beautiful.

However, this place was buried under far too many unpleasant things.

Thinking of this, Cheng Lie paused. Next, who should he settle accounts with?

One way or another, he wouldn’t let any of those people off.

Zhao Pan had already gathered information on the past servants of the Cheng Family household.

Some had returned to the countryside, while others were still working in South City.

Among them was a nanny who, during New Year’s in the past, deliberately refused to feed Cheng Lie. She was now working as a nanny for another household.

That family was wealthy as well and had once had a good relationship with Zhao Haishuang.

It was precisely because she followed Zhao Haishuang’s orders to torment Cheng Lie back then that she was able to find such a good position after leaving the Cheng Family.

Why did she have the right to live so well? Cheng Lie stared at the dossier, expressionless.

From Cheng Lie, Zhao Pan sensed an unmistakable air of hostility.

The current Mr. Cheng was entirely different from who he had been in the past.

Even when he’d first left the Cheng Family, Mr. Cheng hadn’t been like this.

Now, it was as though darkness enveloped him; his face was emotionless, yet there was an aura about him as if he’d descended from hell.

He knew that Cheng Guomin, even in prison, would meet no good end.

Sure enough, Cheng Lie instructed him, "Have someone go take care of Cheng Guomin."

This "take care" carried an unmistakable implication.

After a pause, he pointed at the nanny’s name on the file. "Haven’t seen her in quite a while."

At this, he chuckled.

The laughter was pure, gentle, like that of a child encountering something amusing. But his aura exuded wickedness; no one would truly see him as a child.

Zhao Pan only felt chills of horror. He thought to himself that he must talk to Miss Yun.

Only in front of Yun Shifei did Cheng Lie resemble a normal person.

But Zhao Pan dared not act recklessly. The last time he unintentionally spoke about Mr. Cheng’s affairs, it created conflict between Miss Yun and Mr. Cheng, and he had nearly died for it.

If Miss Yun didn’t love Mr. Cheng so deeply, seeing another side of him might lead to more misunderstandings and another separation.

Thinking it over, Zhao Pan decided he couldn’t let such a thing happen again.

At this moment, Yun Shifei had just finished walking her dog and happened to run into Mu Jiayu.

Mu Jiayu grinned smugly at her. "I told you, my brother doesn’t like you; he’s into Sisi."

"You don’t know, my brother has already decided to marry Sisi."

She naturally knew.

Yun Shifei smiled and said, "Then let me congratulate your brother first."

Seeing Yun Shifei’s calm expression and even the hint of a smile on her face, Mu Jiayu snorted coldly and walked off, slightly disappointed.

Yun Shifei then led her baby back home.

Bored at home, she decided to make some pastries and deliver them to Yun Tiancheng’s company first.

She’d been there a few times before, so the people in the company already knew Yun Shifei and greeted her warmly.

"Miss Yun, here to see your father?"

Yun Shifei smiled and nodded.

Knocking on Yun Tiancheng’s office door, Yun Tiancheng called out, "Come in."

When he saw that it was Yun Shifei, his somewhat stern face instantly broke into a warm smile. "Shifei is here, come sit down."

Yun Shifei obediently sat next to Yun Tiancheng and placed the pastries she’d made on his desk.

There were red bean cakes, green bean cakes, and glutinous rice dumplings.

All carefully shaped by Yun Shifei, then chilled briefly in the fridge—perfect for eating during the sweltering summer.

Looking at the delicate pastries, Yun Tiancheng even thought Yun Shifei’s culinary skills rivaled those of master chefs. He said, "Thank you, Shifei. You’re always so thoughtful."

Yun Tiancheng patted Yun Shifei’s head and instructed his assistant to pour her a glass of juice.

Yun Shifei sat beside him, but she had another purpose for coming today.

She wanted to see if she could use her skills to help Yun Tiancheng with something.

Yun Tiancheng was in trade, providing goods at the source. Now that his business had expanded, he’d diversified into decorations, everyday items, and more.

Yun Shifei had long planned to bring this up; she couldn’t help but entertain the thought in her mind.

"Dad, have you ever thought about selling your products online?"

"Selling them online?" Yun Tiancheng froze, as if the suggestion sounded odd.

Yun Shifei nodded. "Think about it: currently, you rely on distributors to sell your goods, which can generate large sales, but they take commissions and have various limitations. If you put your products online, it’s like creating a virtual supermarket where you can sell your items."

Yun Tiancheng, unfamiliar with the internet, found her idea intriguing. "Can people actually see what I’m selling?"

"Of course, not only can they see it, but they can also buy it. The money will go directly to you, bypassing the middleman distributors."

This way, more profits could be retained.

In the coming years, the internet was bound to grow rapidly; one could already see this from Cheng Lie’s chatroom innovation and the increasing prevalence of smartphones and computers.

She wouldn’t let herself miss out on this golden opportunity.

Thinking of the semi-completed online platform she’d been building, with Cheng Lie’s help, it was already about seventy or eighty percent finished.

She could start by experimenting with Yun Tiancheng’s products online.

If the traffic was high enough and there were plenty of buyers, she could then negotiate partnerships and attract more merchants to join the platform.

Seeing Yun Shifei’s enthusiasm, Yun Tiancheng didn’t fully understand the concept but knew that she studied computing.

He had a rudimentary understanding of computers, though these trends were favored by the younger generation, and he felt somewhat out of touch with them.

He didn’t have that much time to explore new technologies.

Still, it was the first time he’d seen Yun Shifei genuinely excited about something. If she could achieve something in a field she was passionate about, that would be wonderful.

"Alright, Shifei, whatever help you need, your dad will provide it for you."

Yun Shifei was elated.

She thought she could also talk to Sun Xiaoqi. Sun Xiaoqi had recently taken over her parents’ company, which also sold products. She could list those items online too, then run an advertisement. Achieving a bit of success didn’t seem too difficult.

Back at her apartment complex, Yun Shifei planned to bring the remaining pastries to Cheng Lie.

At the complex entrance, she ran into Liu Congfang and her husband.

Years had passed since their last meeting, and they both looked noticeably older.

Liu Congfang seemed sharper than ever.

She wore a red dress and had makeup on, though the excessive blush made her look somewhat comical.

Perhaps it was due to the matter regarding Yun Sisi—their joy was evident.
