Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1165 - 1154: When the Daughter Is the Second Female Lead and the Younger Sister Is the Female Lead

Upon returning to their residence, Mei Chunli immediately sensed something amiss with her daughter, prompting her to approach and inquire.

"Are you in love?" she asked, drawing upon her own experiences, her intuition proving remarkably sharp.

Ye Yun, recalling the intense affection Zhang Beichen had recently displayed towards her, bashfully nodded in affirmation.

Mei Chunli's heart swelled with maternal joy. "Whose family's young master is he? Can you tell Mom?"

However, Ye Yun's brow furrowed once more, her expression suggesting some difficulty in sharing.

Observing her daughter's hesitation, Mei Chunli's initial delight waned, a flicker of unease crossing her mind. "Is he not from our social circle? Is there an issue with his identity?"

"No," Ye Yun replied, glancing around before drawing her mother into her room. She then lowered her voice, confessing, "It's Zhang Beichen."

"What?"

"I mean, the person I'm involved with is Zhang Beichen."

Mei Chunli gasped in surprise. "Isn't that?"

"Exactly. So, Mom, please keep your voice down. I still haven't figured out how to tell Dad and Xiao Shu!" She sank onto the bed, looking dejected. "Mom, I'm a little scared. Before, Big Sister seemed to tacitly accept that Beichen and Xiao Shu were a couple. Now that Beichen is with me, will everyone blame me?"

"Who brought it up first? Who fell for whom first?" Mei Chunli prompted.

Ye Yun blushed. "Beichen brought it up first, but we both fell for each other around the same time."

Mei Chunli listened, her feelings a mix of happiness and apprehension. She comforted her daughter, "It's alright. You truly love each other; your father won't blame you."

"But what about Sister and Xiao Shu? Will they think I did this deliberately?"

Mei Chunli took her daughter's hand, offering reassurance. "Love cannot be controlled. What right do they have to blame you? Besides, your sister and Xiao Shu never officially agreed to the engagement with the Zhang family, did they?"

"But what if Xiao Shu has regrets someday? After all, it's difficult to find someone as outstanding as Beichen nowadays."

A subtle glint appeared in Mei Chunli's eyes as she soothed, "Don't worry. Mom will protect you. Your dad won't stand idly by either."

Ye Yun remained anxious. "I certainly hope so!"

After their conversation, Mei Chunli's inner resolve strengthened; she was determined not to let her daughter suffer any injustice.

That same day, Ye Qiu seemed to possess a sixth sense, paying heightened attention to the traffic outside. She quickly noticed a large truck behaving suspiciously, following her through three separate intersections.

Maintaining her composure, she continued along her predetermined route. However, by the lakeside road, the truck could no longer contain itself, appearing to lose control as it hurtled directly towards her.

Ye Qiu had honed her driving skills meticulously. She maneuvered her vehicle with practiced ease, but the truck seemed to possess a malevolent intent, relentlessly pursuing her, always aiming to collide no matter her evasive actions.

Without hesitation, Ye Qiu contacted the police, relaying the critical situation with swift calmness. She then accelerated her car. Yet, this time, Mei Chunli's determination was evident; further down the road, a deliberately stalled car blocked her path, leaving absolutely no room for escape.

Unbeknownst to them, Ye Qiu had been preparing for such a scenario for years. She activated the sunroof and, just as the truck slammed into her car and the disabled vehicle, she leaped into the adjacent lake. From the water, she saw the truck driver pounding the steering wheel in sheer frustration.

It had to be acknowledged that Mei Chunli's strategy, though crude, was remarkably effective. Had Ye Qiu been a typical affluent young lady, she would have been caught completely off guard by such an ambush and unable to escape.

So what if the truth were uncovered? Mei Chunli was Ye Changfeng's wife, and he was currently devoted to her. With the elder daughter deceased, would he truly send his wife to prison, thereby alienating his younger daughter?

What would become of the Ye Group without a leader? It would inevitably be seized by rivals, leading to the complete downfall of the entire Ye Family.

Therefore, considering the larger stakes, Ye Changfeng would opt to sacrifice his elder daughter; Mei Chunli and Ye Yun would emerge unscathed.

However, what truly baffled Ye Qiu was Mei Chunli's motivation. What profound animosity could she possibly harbor against her? In the past, Mei Chunli had never shown any avarice for the Ye Family's wealth!

News of Ye Qiu's accident rapidly reached the Ye family's ears. Mei Chunli, in her shock, shattered a glass cup in her hand.

Ye Changfeng approached to offer comfort. "Don't worry. The doctors say it's not serious. She's still giving her statement; she'll be home soon."

"Why is she giving a statement? Wasn't it an accident?" Mei Chunli's voice trembled with panic, her palms slick with sweat.

"It's likely just a routine inquiry. We'll know more once Ye Qiu returns. Hopefully, it wasn't the work of those competitors," Ye Changfeng mused.

"What kind of competitors would resort to such illegal activities?" Mei Chunli questioned, her unease growing.

Observing his wife's wide eyes, Ye Changfeng mistook her expression for worry. He patted her hand reassuringly, stating, "There are always those who disregard the law. I've encountered such individuals in my youth. Do not fret; I've been somewhat complacent these past years, but I shall hire more bodyguards henceforth."

"We remain at home daily; what is there to fear? It is the children I am concerned about," Mei Chunli responded, managing a smile. She then inwardly replayed the events, searching for any slip-up. Reassured that no clue had been revealed, she felt a slight ease.

"You suggest the truck was not out of control but deliberately aimed at you?" a police officer inquired.

"Precisely," Ye Qiu affirmed, shrugging. "You understand, upon reaching my standing, many harbor displeasure towards me, prompting a heightened sense of vigilance."

The officer documenting her statement chuckled, "We comprehend. Is there anything else?"

"My vehicle is equipped with dashcams, both front and rear; you are welcome to examine them. Furthermore, I suspect the disabled vehicle exhibited unusual characteristics, warranting your close inspection. Its appearance was, after all, too coincidental, as if orchestrated to bring about my downfall. Had I not undergone training, my reaction might not have been swift enough to evade it."

Recalling the chaotic scene, the police felt a shiver, promising, "Miss Ye, please be assured, we will thoroughly investigate every potential lead."

"Thank you kindly. As a law-abiding taxpayer, my sole desire is for the truth to surface. Upon its revelation, I shall present a banner to convey my gratitude. My position is somewhat prominent, and the swifter the truth is uncovered, the greater the public's faith in the government will be."

Although Ye Qiu voiced this to the police, she maintained a composed demeanor upon returning home, explaining the incident to her family as a simple accident and calming their concerns. Her primary objective was to lull Mei Chunli into a false sense of security.

Ye Qiu had no intention of conducting her own investigation; it would be inappropriate. Moreover, the current police force was known for its competence and fairness; why should she not place her trust in them?

In her previous life, her father, Ye Changfeng, had obstructed the investigation. The truck driver had perished, leaving the case unresolved.
