Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1325 - 1314: Siblings

"Shishi, has something happened between you and Zhizhi?" Mrs. Li had already noticed, otherwise she wouldn’t have found an excuse to leave so tactfully.

Lee Shishi took a deep breath and decided to be honest with her mom: "Mom, Zhizhi and I might not be able to remain good friends in the future."

"Why?"

"Because she covets my boyfriend. Mom, my boyfriend’s name is Ye Cheng, he’s someone who treats me very well. When you have time, I’ll bring him over for you to meet."

"Is he from your school? Who are his family members? Have you already decided to meet each other’s parents so soon?" Mrs. Li asked eagerly, "Why is Zhizhi trying to interfere?"

"Ye Cheng is a year ahead of me in school. He’s an orphan, but has three siblings who are like real siblings." Seeing her mom’s slightly furrowed brow, she continued, "However, he is very outstanding and has already started his own company, which is why Cheng Zhizhi finds him attractive and covets him."

Mrs. Li noticed her daughter’s protective tone and, instead of reacting negatively, rationally said, "Since he’s as good as you say, let’s meet him this weekend!"

Lee Shishi was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Thank you for not directly opposing this, Mom."

"You like him, so I wouldn’t oppose him without even meeting him, and you said he’s very outstanding, right?" Mrs. Li thought to herself that, if Cheng Zhizhi was willing to lose face to pursue her daughter’s boyfriend, he must not be too bad.

Eventually, not only Mrs. Li, but even Mr. Lai, who was protective of his daughter, praised Ye Cheng as a future son-in-law. On weekends, if Ye Cheng was free, he’d come over for dinner.

Mrs. Li specifically advised her daughter: "Your dad and I both think Ye Cheng is a great kid, so keep an eye on things and don’t let Cheng Zhizhi steal him away."

Lee Shishi was both amused and happy hearing this: "Mom, don’t worry. Ye Cheng is not the kind of person who is fickle, and his siblings are all on my side."

"I have to say, your future sister-in-law’s pastries are really delicious." Though she hadn’t met them, Mrs. Li was very curious and incredibly impressed with Ye Qiu and them.

Thinking about how they came from an orphanage but managed to get into prestigious universities and start their own business without any assistance, they’re truly wonderful kids. It’s heartbreaking to think about how their parents could abandon them!

"Whenever there’s time, invite Ye Cheng’s siblings over for a meal. Once you’re married, you’ll be their elder sister-in-law and should take care of them." Mrs. Li taught her daughter about human relationships, "Since Ye Cheng holds his siblings in such high regard, you should treat them as your own siblings in the future, okay?"

"Mom, I understand. I’ll check with them to see when they have time to come over."

Ever since Lee Shishi brought Ye Cheng to meet her parents, their relationship has rapidly progressed, and there’s strong eagerness to get married immediately. However, since they’re still in school, they’d have to wait until graduation.

While things were smooth on their end, Duan Yunquan had some trouble. Mainly his stepmother and her two children were unwilling to let Duan Yunhai inherit the family business and hated him as a result.

"Why do you look so bedraggled?" Ye Qiu was about to close the door when Duan Yunquan appeared, bruised and looking downcast.

"I was ambushed," Duan Yunquan gritted his teeth, "They can’t move against Duan Yunhai, so they came after me. What are you doing?"

"Calling the police." Ye Qiu said as if it were obvious, "It’s a law-abiding society now."

"It’s useless; they won’t leave any traces."

"Don’t underestimate our police officers. Even if they can’t find evidence, they can still make them cautious."

After making the police report, Ye Qiu asked, "Second Brother, didn’t the assets get divided already? You didn’t take much, why are they still after you?"

"I guess they’re unsatisfied and think that without me supporting Duan Yunhai, they can challenge him. It’s pure delusion."

"What have you decided to do then?"

"Since they hold me in such high regard, naturally I have to fight them," Duan Yunquan said with a dark expression.

"Second Brother, don’t try to be strong," Ye Qiu said worriedly, mainly because that family was truly unrestrained. In a past life, Second Brother’s leg was broken because of them, "If you need anything, just let us know. I might not be able to help much, but over the years I’ve gotten to know many people and have saved quite a bit of money."

Duan Yunquan laughed out loud, "Your Second Brother isn’t as helpless as you think, and Duan Yunhai won’t sit by idly. Just wait for good news from me."

Ye Qiu thought it was true. In a past life, Second Brother was defeated and injured because he faced the entire Duan family, leading to retaliation. But in this life, he had improved his abilities and wasn’t fighting alone, so that wouldn’t happen again.

However, as a precaution, she decided to have Little Golden Crow tag along. Little Golden Crow had almost become the mascot of her pastry shop; everyone who came knew about her highly intelligent bird. Even Ye Cheng and his family often reminisced about how they used to communicate without phones.

Since Duan Yunquan and Yu Zhijing were unavailable, Ye Qiu accepted Mrs. Li’s dinner invitation alone and arrived with ample gifts.

"There’s no need to be so formal with family," Mrs. Li looked at Ye Qiu with delight, her eyes filled with genuine affection. Such a beautiful, smart, and capable child deserves to be loved and cherished; what were their parents thinking!

"Third Brother and Little Sister were taken by their family, so they can’t come for now. They asked me to apologize on their behalf and promised to visit you and Uncle when they have time." Ye Qiu smiled gracefully, showing evidence of good upbringing, unlike someone abandoned as a child.

Mrs. Li grew increasingly fond of her, wishing she could adopt her as a goddaughter, and warmly invited her to sit.

"It’s nothing, we’re not really a formal family. I haven’t thanked you all for your gifts yet; why should children buy things for us adults?" Mrs. Li affectionately reprimanded.

"It’s precisely because you and Uncle treat Big Brother like a son that we wanted to make sure things are proper."

"Compared to you kids, Uncle and I feel like we’ve spoiled Shishi too much."

"Auntie, don’t say that. We’re so lucky to have such a great sister-in-law; in other families, people would look down on us for being orphans."

"Don’t put yourself down like that; being an orphan doesn’t matter. Auntie has never seen such outstanding kids like you. Sit down, I’ll cook for you, though it might not be as good as your cooking, it should be fine."

"Auntie, you’re too modest. Let me assist you."

"No need, it’ll be done soon."

Shishi watched the two interacting and chuckled to herself, feeling full of happiness.
