Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1136 - 1125: Favoring Daughters Over Sons

Before Ye Qiu's departure for Jing City following the New Year festivities, he made one last visit to the Ye Family. However, the unfortunate outcome was as predictable as ever; he was still met with cold reception and was ultimately expelled by Ye Peilin. To compound matters, Ye Peilin issued a stern warning that the family would offer no support in the future, regardless of his circumstances.

Without any lingering expectations, sorrow was naturally absent. He proceeded to pack his belongings and, amidst the affectionate admonishments from He Family’s parents, commenced his journey back to Jing City alongside He Xixian.

Upon their return to Jing City, Ye Qiu adhered to his established practice from his university days: contacting his family monthly for a familial check-in. Yet, these calls were either abruptly terminated or met with Han Hui’s persistent entreaties for him to end his relationship with He Xixian. Ye Qiu simply listened without retort, letting the words wash over him. In his current state, he considered himself merely fulfilling his filial obligations; even parents, he reasoned, possessed no inherent right to dictate the major decisions of his life.

By June, He Xixian had achieved a remarkable milestone, acquiring two significant certificates within a single month: her graduation certificate and their marriage certificate. The wedding arrangements were progressing seamlessly. Ye Qiu had by then emerged as a promising young entrepreneur, and coupled with He Xixian’s outstanding academic achievements and captivating beauty, the news of their impending marriage immediately after graduation swiftly became a sensation. Even some of their closely associated former instructors were proactively inquiring about obtaining invitations.

"Senior Brother Ye Qiu is undeniably a success story in life. He managed to accumulate considerable financial resources during his studies and promptly launched his own business upon graduation. Within a year's span, the applications developed by his company have successfully captured a substantial market share, leading numerous prominent corporations to eagerly pursue collaboration opportunities with Senior Brother Ye."

"Indeed, it's often said that couples formed during their campus years tend to part ways after graduation. Yet, Senior Brother Ye Qiu and Senior Sister He Xixian chose to marry immediately thereafter. What kind of everlasting love is this? Is it perhaps a touch impulsive? Might they not have benefited from waiting a few more years?"

"Why the need to wait? Given that both individuals are deeply in love and have established a respectable financial footing, I believe commencing their marriage at this juncture is the epitome of romance."

"However, it does seem a bit premature. Senior Brother Ye Qiu is merely twenty-three years of age, and Senior Sister He Xixian is just twenty-two."

"While the marriage age might be considered early compared to contemporary university students, they have, in fact, reached the legal age for matrimony. My own mother gave birth to me when she was twenty-two years old, so it isn't entirely unusual. When the depth of affection is profound, the specific timing of the wedding becomes secondary."

"That's true, I've heard it's generally advantageous to have children at a younger age. It makes one contemplate the prospect of swiftly finding a dependable partner and marrying right after graduation, primarily to preempt any future pressure regarding marriage."

Overhearing the students' animated discussions as she strolled along the campus path, Ye Qing found herself increasingly unsettled. This disquiet intensified particularly when the conversation veered towards the topics of marriage pressure and childbirth, leaving her even more agitated.

She was twenty-nine years old as of this year. Although her father and uncles exhibited no particular haste, her mother had already begun orchestrating a series of blind dates for her. Even her grandparents frequently offered counsel, urging her to find a suitable partner to settle down with.

She was acutely aware that the longer she deferred, the more her prospects would diminish with advancing age. Concerns such as increased childbirth risks and the more arduous recovery period for older mothers weighed on her mind, but the critical question remained: where were all the suitable potential partners?

The individuals who showed interest in her either possessed meager financial means or lacked adequate education. One particular suitor even hailed from a rural background, harboring aspirations of pursuing unrealistic, wide-ranging dreams. She held a firm conviction against marrying what is commonly referred to as a 'Phoenix Man'.

As for those candidates introduced by her mother, despite their favorable circumstances, there was invariably some subtle flaw or unmet expectation that prevented them from aligning with her desires. She was unwilling to entrust the entirety of her life’s trajectory to just anyone.

Furthermore, Ye Qiu's unwavering resolve to marry He Xixian, in direct opposition to the family's wishes, was a significant factor. That particular woman was known for her penchant for stirring up trouble, and now, with her brother Ye Qiu's career flourishing so spectacularly, if Ye Qing herself did not secure a marriage with an equally accomplished man, would her standing and influence within the family ever truly be recognized in the future?

She consequently took a leave of absence and secretly journeyed to Jing City, foregoing any notification to her parents. Ye Qiu had dispatched the wedding invitations back home and even extended a personal call, yet her father adamantly forbade any family member from attending. After careful deliberation, she resolved to make the trip. She perceived her brother as heartless, but she felt she could not reciprocate that sentiment; her hope was that by offering him an avenue of reconciliation, he might subsequently relinquish his profound prejudice against her.

However, only she truly grasped the genuine motivation behind her arrival in Jing City. Was it conceivable that she harbored no ulterior motives whatsoever? Had she merely come with the sole intention of mending ties?

Could an individual who had exhibited selfishness for close to thirty years genuinely undergo an overnight transformation?

"Is something amiss?" In a luxurious villa situated in the city's outskirts, He Xixian, resplendent in her wedding gown, gracefully descended the staircase. Despite foregoing makeup for the day, the natural flush on her cheeks served as the most exquisite adornment.

Ye Qiu was momentarily rendered speechless by her appearance. He moved towards her, his expression brimming with warmth and unwavering support: "You look absolutely stunning; you are truly the most beautiful bride I have ever laid eyes upon."

"It’s not as exaggerated as you claim. Aren’t there numerous actresses who possess a more striking appearance than myself?" she remarked, though the corners of her lips remained subtly upturned.

With tears welling in her eyes, Madam He felt a mix of joy and sorrow as her daughter, whom she had doted on for over two decades, was about to be married.

However, knowing her daughter would marry Ye Qiu, a filial and capable young man, brought her immense reassurance, especially considering the unreliability of her daughter's in-laws.

"Are you absolutely certain your parents won't be attending?" she inquired, her voice tinged with a sigh.

A shadow of remorse crossed Ye Qiu's face. "I apologize, Mom and Dad, for any inconvenience caused to you and Xixian. My cousin and other relatives have assured me they will be present."

"Oh, this is not your fault. What truly matters is that you treat Xixian well in the years to come."

"I solemnly pledge never to fail her for the remainder of my life."

"We have long recognized your sincerity. We are aware of your capabilities and have faith that you will not be constrained by this modest company. Our sole wish is that you uphold your integrity as you ascend to greater heights."

The He family parents were left without words regarding their son-in-law's decision to transfer all non-share assets into their daughter's name. They could only remark that Ye Qiu was unlike any man they had ever encountered who would perform such a gesture.

"Mom, Xixian is now quite the wealthy woman. I'm merely living off her generosity; I'm even worried she might leave me someday!" Ye Qiu jested.

"Cease with your jests," He Xixian admonished, playfully glaring at him before a sweet smile graced her lips. Unconsciously, her hand drifted to her belly. Since they had set the wedding date, their nights had been intimate, and though she hadn't confirmed, her cycle had been absent for a month.

Ye Qiu, too, seemed to sense a change, recently ensuring she avoided cold liquids and strenuous activities at night.

He Xixian, despite feeling young, acknowledged that while children were part of her life plan, she hadn't anticipated parenthood arriving so swiftly. She still felt like a child herself! Could she truly manage the care of both their child and Ye Qiu?

Moreover, friends and classmates had advised against immediate pregnancy post-marriage, suggesting a few years of career establishment to maintain societal connection.

Yet, with the child already on its way, relinquishing it was not an option. Even if she could entertain the thought, she couldn't bear to cause Ye Qiu heartache, knowing his deep desire for a child.

Besides, wouldn't her situation be different? After all, Ye Qiu adored her, entrusting nearly all his assets to her. The complexities of child-rearing could be learned progressively. Any uncertainties could be addressed by consulting her parents. What was there to truly fear?
