CHAPTER 401: CHAPTER 401: FINDING CHENG LIE TOGETHER

Perhaps reading this speech will make Mu Chengzhu hate her even more, but now that he already hates her, a little bit more won’t make a difference.

As long as he doesn’t leave her.

At least this speech won’t let Mu Chengzhu leave her so easily now.

"Today is a significant day." Yun Sisi began reading the speech, smiling as she looked at the audience below.

The crowd below, upon hearing her words, burst into applause.

Yun Sisi continued, detailing her tumultuous and pitiful past, her connection with the Yun Family, and the difficulties she had faced while growing up over the years.

The speech was written wonderfully. When she first read it, it almost brought her to tears. Her experiences turned out to be so pitiable; surely, it would evoke a great deal of sympathy from others.

Sure enough, the audience, already curious about Yun Sisi’s background, now seemed even more captivated.

Yun Sisi continued her speech enthusiastically.

She spoke about her meeting and getting to know Mu Chengzhu.

"Actually, I once thought we would have a smooth and happy future. But who would have known... my sister returned that day."

"At first, my sister seemed very taken with my husband and would frequently chase after him. Later, I could sense my husband wavering as well—he seemed to have a different kind of affection toward my sister."

As soon as Yun Sisi finished speaking, gasps of disbelief erupted from the audience, followed by a commotion.

Mu Chengzhu’s face darkened at once. This foolish woman—why was she recounting these past events publicly in front of everyone at the wedding?

She even dared to talk about his pursuit of Yun Shifei, concluding with the hardship the two of them endured to get to this point. She expressed guilt over some of the past events and hoped to start afresh while asking everyone to hold them accountable.

Mu Chengzhu was almost ready to laugh in anger. If not for saving face, he probably would have stormed off right then and there.

He thought Yun Sisi had completely lost her mind!

On this grand wedding day, she had mentioned their past in front of everyone and even touched on his private affairs—what on earth was Yun Sisi trying to accomplish?

After she finished speaking, Yun Sisi could feel Mu Chengzhu’s murderous glare directed at her.

She knew her goal had been achieved.

Mu Chengzhu now hated her deeply, but it didn’t matter; he hadn’t liked her that much to begin with.

Despite her previously docile and obedient demeanor, he still showed little affection for her. She could guess that when he grew stronger in the future, he might even abandon her.

How could she allow that? There was no way he would ever abandon her.

Yun Sisi would never let that happen.

So, she had deliberately brought up these matters to convey to everyone that if, someday, they did get divorced, it would surely be because of Yun Shifei.

Doesn’t he like Yun Shifei? Let’s see if he has the guts to act on it!

Yun Sisi didn’t feel there was anything wrong with the speech; instead, she believed it had hit her mark perfectly.

If she couldn’t live well, then neither could Mu Chengzhu, Yun Shifei, or anyone else!

During the rest of the wedding, the guests continued eating and gossiping, while Mu Chengzhu ignored the customary toasting ceremony altogether. After briefly performing a public ritual on stage, he stormed off in a hurry, leaving Yun Sisi behind.

Yun Sisi called out to him twice, but he did not respond.

She couldn’t help but lower her gaze. Never mind—it didn’t matter. After all, she was already married into the Mu Family. There would be plenty of time in the future.

However, people from the Mu Family were clearly displeased.

Chen Min asked Yun Sisi, "Sisi, what did you mean by those remarks you made on stage?"

"Mom, I don’t want Chengzhu to leave me."

While Chen Min was fully aware that Mu Chengzhu didn’t hold much affection for Yun Sisi, she hadn’t expected Yun Sisi to have the audacity to bring up those past events, infuriating her son like this.

She said nothing, her expression cold.

Yun Sisi felt awkward, especially seeing the sour looks on her in-laws’ faces—even Mu Jiayu, who had always sided with her, couldn’t conceal her displeasure this time.

"Sisi, what you said earlier was very humiliating."

Yun Sisi lowered her gaze, beginning to doubt whether what she had said earlier was right or wrong.

But it didn’t matter. It was said and done now; there was no turning back.

She knew that by marrying into the Mu Family, with Mu Chengzhu being indifferent toward her, it meant that there was a battle awaiting her future.

It was so difficult. If she were still the daughter of the Yun Family and hadn’t been cast out by Yun Tiancheng, would the outcome be different now?

She could only blame herself for not having a family to back her up. She glanced at Liu Congfang and Xiao Xiong, that greedy couple, who were like vampires wanting to drain every last bit of value from her.

Yun Sisi felt extreme disgust, but she couldn’t escape them. The countless blackmail material Liu Congfang had on her was like a noose—inescapable unless she died.

When Yun Shifei learned that Yun Sisi had read out the entire speech, she had just stepped off the plane and arrived at the capital city in the Southwest.

The locals informed her that the wedding had been "exciting."

Of course, it was exciting; Mu Chengzhu had probably been driven mad with rage.

He valued his pride above all else. For him, liking her yet being unable to have her was bound to be humiliating.

And to make matters worse—she was the bride’s sister. What a ridiculous and ironic twist.

Wasn’t Mu Chengzhu particularly concerned with preserving his dignity? She would ensure he continued to experience what it felt like to lose face.

Now, standing at the airport in the Southwest capital city, Yun Shifei was preparing to board a bus to West City.

The weather here was even better than in South City—brilliant sunlight, blue skies, and white clouds, surrounded by more breathtaking landscapes.

Yun Shifei boarded the bus and watched as the scenery raced past in reverse. In her previous life, she had never visited this place, but looking at it now, she could finally see why this province was famed for tourism.

Even the scenery viewed casually from the bus window was stunningly beautiful.

Vast grasslands, picturesque mountains, and crystal-clear lakes—all coexisted harmoniously.

In such a beautiful place, how could Cheng Lie possibly encounter any trouble?

Yun Shifei continued comforting herself—Cheng Lie must be safe.

But it seemed as though she hadn’t slept in ages. Whenever she closed her eyes, all she could see was Cheng Lie’s face.

At the thought of him facing danger, she felt a deep urge to cry.

But she dared not let herself cry.

She had to be strong; she had to find Cheng Lie.

Only, it had been such a long time since she had taken a long-distance bus. After enduring over ten hours aboard, Yun Shifei ended up vomiting twice.

Yun Shifei felt terrible, and by the time she arrived in West City, she had already lost a noticeable amount of weight.

Still, Yun Shifei didn’t dare to linger. She immediately sought out Zhao Pan.

When Zhao Pan learned Yun Shifei had arrived in West City, he was shocked.

Hadn’t he told Yun Shifei long ago that there were already plenty of people who had come to search for Cheng Lie, and that she didn’t need to come?

Yet, Yun Shifei still showed up.

He immediately sent people to pick Yun Shifei up and arranged for her to stay at a hotel. Then, rushing back from the mountains, Zhao Pan said to Yun Shifei, "Miss Yun, why are you here?"

"I want to help you look for Cheng Lie."
