Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1181 - 1170: When the Daughter Is the Supporting Character and the Younger Sister Is the Heroine

"Mom, have you heard? Zhang Beichen swindled Aunt’s money and wants to divorce her. I heard they’re already fighting it in court," Ye Shu said mysteriously to Ye Qiu.

Without looking up, Ye Qiu asked, "Really? How did they fall out? Weren’t they always so loving?"

"I guess the Zhang Family blames Aunt for causing their bankruptcy."

"Your Aunt always values money greatly. How did Zhang Beichen manage to deceive her? And now a lawsuit?"

"Who knows? But what I’ve heard is that the money won’t be coming back; Zhang Beichen is quite capable."

"Looks like your Aunt’s taken a big hit this time. Alright, no need to worry about them moving forward. If you feel sorry for them, you can take something to visit Granny Mei during the holidays."

"I won’t go see her," Ye Shu huffed angrily. "She once wanted to kill you, Mom. I don’t have that big of a heart."

Ye Qiu didn’t press further, knowing she herself wasn’t one to repay evil with good: "If you don’t want to go, then don’t. Rest well at home. James complained to me several times that you’re too restless."

Ye Shu pouted, "He’s tattling again."

"He’s doing it for your sake. And don’t always make those excessive demands. You have plenty of jewelry already. Even if James has money, he can’t sustain your spending. Why don’t you buy it yourself?"

"But buying for myself is different from receiving it as a gift," Ye Shu said cheerfully. "Mom, don’t worry. I know my limits, and James is quite willing to buy these things for me."

"You’re just as proud as ever, but only because of me and James’s wealth can we afford you."

"Isn’t that your lifelong wish, Mom? You just want me to be happy for a lifetime."

"You!" Ye Qiu poked her nose, helplessly adoring her.

Ye Qiu wasn’t living with her daughter now; she still lived in the old house. When she got home, she found Mei Chunli and Ye Yun already waiting outside the villa.

Mei Chunli’s expression was pleading, but Ye Yun seemed unwilling.

"Aunt Mei," Ye Qiu nodded at them, "Are you here to take Dad’s things?"

She asked this because Mei Chunli had used this excuse more than once, she continued, "There’s not much left from Dad; if you miss him, take everything this time."

Mei Chunli looked very embarrassed, pulling Ye Yun, "No, we’re not here for that reason this time."

Ye Qiu chuckled lightly, "Then you should leave; we don’t have anything to talk about."

"Wait." Mei Chunli stopped her, "Just consider it as me begging you. I want to talk to you."

"Aunt Mei, you should know, talking to you calmly now is already me doing my best," Ye Qiu stared at her, eyes sharp.

Mei Chunli’s face turned white; how could she not know? What she did back then was unforgivable to anyone.

"I know you hate me and resent me. Xiao Yun did many wrong things too, but she’s your sister. Now she’s being schemed by Zhang Beichen. Consider this our last plea to you. Can you help her, just this once? We’ll leave the city afterwards and never bother you again," Mei Chunli pleaded.

Ye Yun’s expression was uncomfortable, reluctantly embarrassed as she pulled her, "Mom..."

"Don’t interrupt," Mei Chunli shouted at her, "If it weren’t for the mistakes you made later, why wouldn’t your elder sister help you? Quick, apologize to your elder sister."

Ye Yun hung her head, struggling to speak, considering her future, she softly apologized, "Sis, I’m sorry. I was wrongheaded back then and kept blaming you, and did so many stupid things. Can you help me this time? Besides, Zhang Beichen was part of those wrongdoings back then; don’t you want to settle accounts with him?"

"Let me ask you, if I really died that year, and you took over the Group, regardless of what Ye Shu did wrong, would you ruin her reputation and set her up to take drugs?" Ye Qiu stared into Ye Shu’s eyes and asked.

"How could I?" Ye Shu responded instinctively, "How could I do such a vicious thing? Xiao Shu is my niece, and if I inherit the Group, that would be to my advantage. I would only treat her better."

Ye Qiu knew, despite what happened in the past life, at least Ye Yun wasn’t lying now. She nodded, "Alright, I’ll hire the best lawyer and find evidence of Zhang Beichen’s asset transfers."

"Oh." Ye Yun was stunned, finally squeezed out a sentence, "Thank you, and sorry for before."

"You can go now. Someone will follow up for the details later."

Ye Qiu went inside the house, reflecting on her previous life. After her death, Ye Yun indeed treated her daughter well initially, only when Zhang Beichen broke up with her daughter and got together with Ye Yun did her daughter start going astray, and Ye Yun began to retaliate.

She then made arrangements for her daughter to go abroad and take over a small company. Reflecting now, if Ye Yun had intended to harm her daughter, there wouldn't have been a need for such elaborate measures. It appeared she ought to have a meeting with Zhang Beichen.

The possibility was not insignificant that the situation arose because Zhang Beichen coveted Ye Yun. To prevent Ye Shu from threatening Ye Yun's future inheritance rights, he might have acted secretly behind Ye Yun's back.

Six months later, the lawyer Ye Qiu had hired successfully recovered Mei Chunli’s money. Late at night, she went alone to Zhang Beichen’s modest apartment.

"You?" Zhang Beichen opened the door in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"I need to ask you something," Ye Qiu stated calmly.

"What is it you wish to ask?" Zhang Beichen's eyes were sharp. "Is there anything of value left in me that you can use?"

"Of course, there is."

"Even if there is, I won't tell you," Zhang Beichen said harshly. "I have nothing left now. Why should I answer you?"

"Is that so? Here's fifty thousand; it should suffice for your living expenses for a while. As long as you answer a few questions, this fifty thousand is yours," Ye Qiu looked at him, then was invited inside.

"What do you want to ask? Go ahead," he said irritably, taking a swig of liquor.

"Frustrated because life is worse even after rebirth?" Ye Qiu suddenly inquired.

Zhang Beichen looked up abruptly. "What did you say?"

"There's no need to feign ignorance; you and Ye Yun were both reborn. I detected your peculiarities from the very beginning, which is precisely why you suffered such a devastating defeat."

"You too? That's why you survived the car accident! So, you're reborn as well!" Zhang Beichen exclaimed excitedly.

"No need for such strong emotions; please sit," Ye Qiu chuckled. "And don't even consider reporting me or anything. It would be futile. You are aware of my capabilities."

Zhang Beichen's expression soured. "Then what is it you truly want?"

"As I mentioned, I am merely here to ask a few questions."
