Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1157 - 1146: When the Daughter Is the Supporting Character and the Younger Sister Is the Protagonist
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
"Mom, do you have any good suggestions? Ever since Aunt Mei went abroad, my contact with her has lessened, and I’m not sure what she likes nowadays." Ye Shu was troubled and a bit lost. She used to play with Aunt Mei every day when they were little, but now they didn’t even share a common language.
"In that case, I will give her a house. You can give her a car or some jewelry—anything should be fine," remarked Ye Qiu after a brief thought. Only by giving such gifts could she show her importance and not be looked down upon by outsiders. Plus, these are practical; turning eighteen means wanting to live independently, learn to drive, or attend parties—all necessities.
"I don’t have much pocket money on hand to buy a good car. Why not take the pink diamond grandpa gave me last time and have it processed into a necklace? Mom, do you think that’s a good idea?" Ye Shu blinked her bright eyes and asked.
"Good, as long as you’re willing," Ye Qiu knew how much her daughter loved jewelry. Otherwise, her dad—an old man—wouldn’t always remember to buy it whenever he saw something nice. If her daughter was willing to give it away, it showed her desires weren’t overwhelming and she knew what mattered.
"Of course, I’m willing, it’s Aunt Mei after all. Besides, Mom will definitely give me better ones in the future." Ye Shu said playfully.
"You’re so young yet already love beauty so much, you might as well marry a jeweler in the future," Ye Qiu teased.
What she didn’t know was that her daughter didn’t marry a jeweler but a member of the Royal Family who inherited many ancestral jewelry, often jokingly saying if not for those pieces, he couldn’t have won over Ye Shu.
But that was just a joke, enough to prove how much Ye Shu loved jewelry. If she was willing to give away that rare pink diamond, it also proved how important Aunt Mei was in her heart.
Ye Yun got off the plane and looked at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling elated—she finally returned. She was about to turn eighteen, ready to make her dreams come true.
"Second Miss, the master and madam have been longing to see you, they’re already waiting at home," the driver said solicitously, helping with her luggage.
Ye Yun laughed inwardly. Was she ever treated like this in her past life? In this family, she had always been the ignored one.
Sure enough, after Mom revealed her heart and Dad’s attitude towards Mom changed, her status at home shifted too, proving her decisions were indeed correct.
Although she never intended to compete with her elder sister, she couldn’t allow the title of Ye Family’s second daughter to be casually disrespected.
Just wait, this is only the beginning. She will slowly make those people re-evaluate her; with funding and Ye Family connections, she will carve out her own sky!
"Dad, Mom, I’m back," she stood at the entrance, wearing a green dress, poised like a budding willow in early spring, strikingly spirited.
Ye Qiu nodded at this younger sister, inwardly exclaiming she indeed had the qualities of a heroine—her beauty and poise were exceptional; no wonder Zhang Beichen was so devoted.
"It’s good that you’re back. This child, you left for so many years, you’re not allowed to leave again," Mei Chunli quickly welcomed her daughter, looking her up and down, relieved to see she was fine.
"Alright, I’ll listen to you and won’t leave, I’ll stay at home with you and Dad," she laughed naturally and playfully with Ye Changfeng.
Ye Changfeng also looked at her dotingly. After all, she was his youngest daughter, just eighteen and needing care. As he aged, he wasn’t as strict with her as he was with her elder sister. He only wished for her happiness.
Besides, the elder daughter had grown up; she wouldn’t be as affectionate with him now, so he pampered Ye Yun more. The group was given to the elder daughter; apart from some money and property, he couldn’t give much to her. Compared to what the elder daughter inherited, it was like a drop in the ocean.
"Don’t listen to your mom. It’s good for girls to see the world, and while the outside is nice, it can’t compare to home. Returning is best," Ye Changfeng sat in a wheelchair, extending a hand to touch his youngest daughter’s head.
Ye Yun immediately looked at him with concern, asking, "Dad, are the doctors still unable to cure this?"
"It’s fine," Ye Changfeng smiled. "It’s an old problem, don’t worry. Your mom takes great care of me."
"My mom is a professional, doesn’t she take great care?" Ye Yun laughed again, "I brought back the most advanced massage instrument from abroad for you, but it’s not here yet, not sure how effective it is."
"Whether it’s good or not, your thoughtfulness makes me happy," Ye Changfeng smiled more benevolently.
"Mom, I've also brought gifts for you, elder sister, and Xiao Shu. I'm just not sure if you'll like them," she said, looking at Ye Qiu with a hint of apprehension, as if fearing she might cause displeasure.
Ye Qiu understood that her younger sister, having held a significant position and maintained her authority for many years, would naturally feel such worries. Even Aunt Mei, who had known her for ages, still treaded cautiously around her. Thus, Ye Qiu wasn't suspicious.
"How could we not like them? Everything you've ever gifted us has been both beautiful and incredibly practical. In Dad’s eyes, this elder daughter has long been overlooked; you are the true treasure of our home," Ye Qiu replied with a smile.
Though perhaps spoken without intend, her words struck a chord with Ye Yun, sparking a flicker of concern. Was it possible that their father's growing affection for her over the years had finally made her elder sister uneasy?
A sense of injustice and indignation washed over her. Was there truly a need for deterrence directed at her? She harbored no grand ambitions; couldn't she even bask in the warmth of her parents' favor?
But it hardly mattered; she would ultimately demonstrate her capabilities, forge her own path to success, and show utter disinterest in their familial squabbles.
"As long as elder sister and Xiao Shu like them, they weren't expensive, but I did put a lot of thought into choosing them," she offered with a cordial smile.
Ye Qiu sensed a subtle shift in her younger sister's demeanor but paid it little mind. They hadn't seen each other for years, and even during that time, her sister had visited home sporadically, though she was often away traveling or attending to business matters. A slight distance now felt natural.
"Your heartfelt intentions are clear to us as a family. Go freshen up, and come down for dinner. We can discuss your upcoming eighteenth birthday celebration then," Ye Qiu said, giving her shoulder a gentle pat.
Ye Yun's brow furrowed slightly. "There's no need for a grand affair, a simple family meal would suffice."
Ye Qiu let out a soft chuckle. "Then you should probably ask Dad about that."
Ye Changfeng turned his gaze swiftly toward his youngest daughter, Ye Yun. "For your coming-of-age ceremony, we absolutely cannot treat it lightly. Relatives and friends must be invited. The main considerations will be the venue's decorations and the overall style of the event – you'll need to make those decisions."
This time, Ye Yun didn't refuse, her eyes narrowing in delight. "Thank you, Dad!"
