Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1178 - 1167: When the Daughter Is the Side Character and the Sister Is the Main Character
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
"Dad, please, help me and Beichen! We’re truly out of options now. Everyone looks down on me, and she’s actively trying to destroy me!" Ye Yun, disregarding Ye Changfeng’s frail condition, slipped into the nursing home and immediately dissolved into tears.
Inhaling with the help of a breathing machine, Ye Changfeng raspily advised, "Yun’er, stop these foolish actions. Go and sincerely apologize to your sister. She won’t destroy you. Beichen is a good young man; live a peaceful life with him. If you truly can’t, then go abroad."
"No," Ye Yun’s eyes ignited with malice. "Why should I grovel to her? She’s the one disregarding familial bonds. She harmed my mother before, and now she’s set on harming me. I absolutely will not beg her."
Ye Changfeng suddenly began to cough violently, admonishing her, "Your sister didn’t harm your mother; it was your mother who harbored malicious intent. Why do you refuse to listen? Think about all the foolish things you have done since then! If I hadn’t intervened, your sister would have already taken action."
A flicker crossed Ye Yun’s eyes. "Why would I need you to interfere on my behalf? Can she truly kill me? Dad, I don’t need anything else from you. Just tell me the weaknesses of those directors and executives within the company. That would be the greatest assistance you could offer me."
Ye Changfeng was infuriated by her words. "You are still so stubborn. How much longer will you continue down this erroneous path?"
"I am not stubborn; it’s clearly you who is biased. From childhood to adulthood, did you ever show me the same kindness you showered upon my sister? This colossal company, yet I only receive a meager portion of its dividends each year. Everything else belongs to my sister. Do you feel no shame? I am not in the wrong; this entire predicament stems from your failings."
Ye Changfeng gazed at his youngest daughter with profound disappointment, as if she were a complete stranger. He realized he had never truly understood her. Nevertheless, he patiently explained, "This company was established with the assistance of your elder sister’s maternal grandparents, Yun’er. Therefore, the company rightfully belongs to your elder sister."
"I refuse to believe you," Ye Yun became agitated. "You are merely deceiving me, and you’re too cowardly to admit your blatant favoritism."
"Yun’er, please listen obediently. Do it for your mother’s sake, alright? Your mother will be released in two years. When she is, have her apologize to your elder sister. Considering your mother cared for me for decades, your sister will likely not make things difficult for you."
"You expect me to apologize, and even have my mother grovel? Dad, I was completely mistaken about you. It’s not just me; it’s my mother too. She shouldn’t have fallen in love with you; she shouldn’t have married you. It’s you – you are the source of all this evil! If it weren’t for you forcing Mom, she wouldn’t have had me, and this terrible mess wouldn’t exist. Why did you even pursue her if you looked down on her so much?" Ye Yun shrieked recklessly.
Ye Changfeng’s breathing grew ragged, his ECG monitor fluctuated wildly, his eyes reddened. "You believe it was all my fault back then? You believe I forced your mother? Xiao Yun, I am profoundly disappointed in you. Back then, given my condition, if your mother hadn’t been willing, what could I possibly have done?"
Ye Yun sneered. "Regardless, Mom isn’t here now, and neither of us has any leverage. So, you can slander her all you want. In your hearts, isn’t my mother just some shameless woman who craves wealth? Dad, a man should take responsibility for his actions. You disgust me!"
"You…" Ye Changfeng’s trembling hand pointed at her. Before the doctors and nurses could intervene, his eyes fluttered shut, and he lost consciousness.
Ye Yun watched the flurry of medical personnel attending to the unresponsive Ye Changfeng, utterly stunned. Her face turned deathly pale as a creeping sense of panic began to grip her heart.
"Dad, don’t scare me," she whispered weakly, murmuring to herself. "You definitely won’t be in serious trouble. Weren’t you fine at this point in the previous life?"
However, Ye Yun completely overlooked the stark reality that this life and the past life were vastly different. Ye Changfeng’s health was already precarious, and her earlier verbal assault had certainly not aided his condition.
When Ye Qiu finally arrived, she found Ye Yun sitting listlessly in a chair, completely lost in thought. Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Qiu slapped her viciously across the face.
It took Ye Yun a few moments to regain her senses. Clutching her left cheek in disbelief, she then furiously exclaimed, "You actually dare to strike me?"
Ye Qiu met her gaze, her imposing presence filling the room. "I struck you. I had been guarding against your attempts, yet you still managed to sneak in. I knew you harbored no good intentions seeking out Dad. If anything should happen to Dad, I will absolutely not let you off the hook."
"You’re blaming me?" Ye Yun’s voice turned sharp. "It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t been so wary of me, if you hadn’t framed my mother, if you hadn’t prevented me from seeing Dad, he would be perfectly fine! This is all because of you!"
"Still so misguided at this juncture; it’s clear you haven’t learned enough lessons," Ye Qiu threatened sternly.
Ye Yun swallowed hard, genuinely feeling a shiver of fear towards Ye Qiu after their past encounters. Now, with both her father-in-law and mother-in-law displeased, if Ye Qiu were to press the issue, what recourse would she possibly have?
Despite her reluctance to lose face before Ye Qiu, she stubbornly retorted, "If you dare, go ahead. Do you believe the Zhang Family truly fears your mother? Just you wait, you'll definitely face consequences."
"Very well, since you're so certain, don't blame me for my actions."
"You..." Ye Yun gritted her teeth, her fists tightening. Though fear gnawed at her insides, she refused to back down.
"Miss Ye, we are truly sorry." At this juncture, the doctor who had been attending to Ye Changfeng's condition stepped forward, his expression one of deep regret as he offered his apologies.
Both Ye Qiu and Ye Yun stood stunned, the news seemingly too much to bear.
"My father..." Ye Qiu's voice caught in her throat.
"Your father has lost all vital signs. We've exhausted all possible measures," the doctor declared, shaking his head.
"Impossible! You must be deceiving me. How could my father have died? He was perfectly fine just moments ago!" Ye Yun grasped the doctor's arm, her voice rising in a distressed shout.
"Your father's health has always been fragile. We had previously recommended complete rest, advising against any emotional distress. I am uncertain what exactly Second Miss Ye discussed with your father earlier, but it evidently led to this outcome."
"Are you implying that I caused my father's death?" Ye Yun's eyes welled up, fury igniting within them. "That's slander! You failed in your medical duties and are now shifting blame. I will sue you!"
"Second Miss Ye, if you doubt our treatment and resuscitation efforts, we welcome an investigation. Forgive me, but I have other pressing matters to attend to. Please release me." The doctor responded calmly, having encountered such reactions countless times before.
"You..."
As Ye Yun continued her outburst, Ye Qiu abruptly seized her hand, her voice cutting through the chaos with cold indifference, "Let go."
