Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1131 - 1120: Valuing Daughters Over Sons
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
He Xixian's eyes were indeed opened today. She was aware of her future sister-in-law's animosity towards Ye Qiu, but she hadn't anticipated such an overt display. On the very first day of her arrival, she was being pressured to break up – where did this audacity come from? What business did her relationship with Ye Qiu have with this woman?
What did it mean for Ye Qiu to debase himself for money? What did it mean to endure hardship for a lifetime? What did it mean to return to work diligently and marry a contented wife? Was it that *she* was not content? Had she ever caused Ye Qiu to suffer? It was truly laughable to speak such nonsense without understanding anything. What was going on in her head?
"Sister Ye Qing, what do you mean by these words? Why can't Ye Qiu and I be together?" He Xixian stood before Ye Qiu, her anger simmering.
Ye Qing lifted her chin disdainfully. "I know you're wealthy, but so what? Our family doesn't care for the vulgar things you buy. We won't provide a bride price or a house for Ye Qiu to marry you."
"Fine, since you've declared this today, it's settled. Don't expect to take advantage of our family in the future. But I will tell you, the bride price and the house, Ye Qiu will provide for me; you don't need to worry. Our marriage doesn't require your approval either." He Xixian was beyond furious. She had worked so hard to pursue this boyfriend, and now someone intended to tear them apart? Not a chance!
"With your attitude, not only do I disagree, but my parents won't either!" Ye Qing was equally incensed. She hadn't even officially joined the family yet and dared to speak like this – what would happen once she was actually part of it?
"Little girl, this is my daughter; you can't just speak about her like that." Ye Peilin threatened, "I believe our family truly isn't suited for you. Even if Ye Qiu wanted to marry you, I wouldn't agree. Please take back these gifts; we don't need and won't use them."
"You're going too far." Ye Qiu finally spoke, his gaze sweeping over his mother and sister before settling on his father's face. "Xianxian is my girlfriend, and the woman I have chosen as my future wife. It's not your place to bully her."
"Are you determined to marry her?"
"Yes," Ye Qiu replied with firm resolve.
"Then don't expect any assistance from us." Ye Peilin continued his threat, "In the future, everything in this house will have nothing to do with you."
"I don't care. I have hands and feet, and I can earn money."
"Xiaoqiu." Han Hui attempted to grasp Ye Qiu's hand. "Stop being stubborn. You've just graduated; how much can you possibly earn? Quickly apologize to your father and sister."
"Apologize?" Ye Qiu scoffed. "They were the ones who showed disrespect first. Before this, Xianxian's parents even advised me to get along well with you. Now it seems that, as always, you all hold biases against me."
"You are our son; how could we possibly harbor biases against you? Xiaoqiu, saying this truly makes your parents deeply sad," Han Hui said, clutching her chest.
"No biases? Then why is it wrong when I bring Xianxian home? Why, on her very first visit, are you urging us to break up? What exactly do you mean by this?"
"We simply don't want you to suffer any hardship. You saw just now how she spoke to your sister. Our Ye family cannot afford to raise such a wealthy daughter."
"The way she spoke to Ye Qing was because Ye Qing was disrespectful first. My marriage – does it concern Ye Qing? What right does she have to urge me to break up with Xianxian?"
"Your sister is merely concerned about you."
"Concern for me? She's deliberately trying to stir up trouble; she's afraid Xianxian will disrupt her position in the family once she marries in." Ye Qiu bluntly exposed Ye Qing's intentions, stunning her.
"Your sister will get married in the future. How can marrying a wife interfere with her? Stop imagining things."
Ye Qiu continued to sneer, "Then ask her why she's been at odds with me since childhood."
"You damned brat!" Ye Peilin slammed the table. "Your sister has always been good to you, yet you speak such words. If it weren't for your sister, you might not even exist in this world!"
"Isn't it because she wanted a living doll to play with that you had me? Don't make her sound so great." Ye Qiu retorted with disdain.
"You—you ingratiate yourself! You're going to wear me down to my grave! Are you breaking up or not?"
"No."
"Fine, then don't expect your mother and me to pay a single cent for your wedding."
"Have no fear, for I never intended to claim your funds. This card holds the living expenses you provided from junior high through high school. Additionally, there are thirty thousand, which ought to cover what you spent raising me throughout those years. Rest assured, this isn't about severing our connection. Should you grow old and fall ill, my filial duties as a son will still be upheld. I simply wish to cease hearing your baseless scoldings."
"From where did you acquire such a sum? Are you truly contemplating marrying into her family?" Ye Peilin erupted in anger, her veins prominent, "You accepted funds from another woman to disavow us? Is this the path a top university graduate like yourself has chosen?"
Ye Qiu's brow furrowed, "I just stated, these funds are not for severing ties, but rather 'filial piety' money to halt your reprimands. Furthermore, it was earned by my own efforts, not gifted by Xianxian."
"Indeed, I do not possess such substantial funds to bestow upon Ye Qiu either. I fail to comprehend why Uncle, Aunt, and Sister Ye Qiu persist in proclaiming me a wealthy heiress, when my family is, in truth, quite ordinary. My parents are merely regular employees," He Xixian interjected.
"How can that be? I distinctly recall seeing that photograph; the bag from the boutique alone exceeds thirty thousand. And the bag you adorn now is worth at least ten thousand. The necklace gracing your neck is a recent acquisition from T, do not assume I am unaware. Are such luxury items attainable for ordinary families?" Ye Qing promptly commented on He Xixian’s attire, her expression laced with disbelief.
"My family would not indulge me in such purchases—they are all tokens of affection from Ye Qiu." He Xixian beamed at Ye Qing, "Not merely these items, but he has bestowed numerous gifts upon me, even going so far as to purchase a dedicated residence for their safekeeping!"
"How is such a feat conceivable?" Ye Qing’s jaw slackened.
He Xixian chuckled, "Why should it be beyond possibility? Is Sister Ye Family unaware of how exceptional and highly capable Ye Qiu truly is? Relevant authorities even extended invitations for him to join their ranks, facilitating our Jing City household registration. Numerous prominent corporations sought his employment, proffering annual salaries reaching ten million."
"That is preposterous; you are fabricating the truth." Ye Qing’s mind reeled, firmly rejecting the assertion.
"Little wonder Ye Qiu frequently lamented his family’s lack of trust. Initially, I found it difficult to believe—how could someone of his caliber possibly be disregarded by his own kin? Today, witnessing it firsthand, I feel profoundly fortunate to have encountered him. The trust and warmth his family failed to provide, I shall offer him in abundance. Perhaps it is precisely because he senses my deep affection that he is willing to lavish me with such treasures!" He Xixian, both infuriating and triumphant, elicited laughter from Ye Qiu.
