Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1329 - 1318: Siblings

Hearing the voice, everyone looked toward the man, only to see him cheerfully squeeze forward, pointing at the shop assistant and ordering several boxes of each type of pastry.

"Aren’t you afraid they’ll poison you? This shop uses nothing but bad ingredients," the Old Lady said with a sneer.

"Old Lady, at your age, I suggest doing some good deeds for your grandchildren’s sake if not for your own. Whether these pastries are good or not isn’t for you to decide. Can’t we taste for ourselves? Anyone who believes you is truly laughable," the man retorted, equally unyielding.

Seeing him set the precedent, everyone gradually lined up again, just as the man said. Can’t they taste for themselves whether the food is good or not? How could the tantrums of an Old Lady be believed?

These days, some netizens say that today’s old folks are the worst generation, having no regard for laws or morals, using their age to act superior, claiming that the ones causing trouble in the past were them and now the unreasonable troublemakers are still them. It’s not society that’s changed, it’s just that this group has gotten old.

Actually, saying this is somewhat unfair. Good and bad people exist in every era. It’s just that this era’s rapid network and national development highlights those whose thoughts don’t keep up with progress, exposing various issues. But not all elders are bad; it’s just the bad ones who are so rampant they’ve tarnished society’s ethos.

Precisely because they are old and difficult to deal with, the young people whose interests have been harmed find it hard to tolerate them, so today there are many onlookers, but none speaking up for the Old Lady.

If, by chance, they didn’t help well and caused an issue, who would bear the responsibility? With families to support, no one dares to take that risk.

Soon, Ye Qiu’s representative lawyer arrived on the scene, sternly demanding that Old Mrs. Wang must go to the police station with him to file a case, and resolutely reserving the right to pursue further action.

"Old Lady, you probably can’t get away as easily as before this time, come with me to the police station now," the policeman said with a serious expression.

Wang Pingfang was genuinely a bit frightened now. She had only come to cause some trouble like she used to; how did it become so serious this time?

But why worry? Who could really do anything to her at her age?

However, what she couldn’t foresee was that while her actions over a few days didn’t have much impact and wouldn’t warrant much responsibility if pursued, but who told her to offend someone she shouldn’t have? She might be fine, but what about her children?

Ye Qiu was initially set to attend a private banquet today, but this incident delayed her plans. She specifically explained to the client, who then casually asked a question.

What Old Mrs. Wang probably could never have imagined was that the person who booked the private banquet today turned out to be her son’s immediate superior. After learning the reason for her son’s leave during her subsequent lawsuit, the boss further felt her son couldn’t handle significant responsibilities with a mother so unreasonable, and thus during a wave of layoffs, nonchalantly fired her son.

After all, as the saying goes, "If you can’t clean your own house, how can you clean the world?" Similarly, if you can’t handle family matters, how can you handle company affairs? This is probably the retribution of not being virtuous and always wanting petty advantages.

In conclusion, this incident didn’t significantly impact Ye Qiu. Her skills are excellent, the shop has many return customers, and everyone just saw that day’s incident as a joke. After all, having sold so much, why hadn’t anyone else said there was a problem?

Nevertheless, since it happened so unexpectedly, Ye Qiu looked into it further, and later, under Duan Yunquan’s suggestion, they suspected that this could have been Duan Minghui’s doing.

"Are all rich people this naive nowadays?" Ye Qiu asked after a moment of silence, then turned to look at Duan Yunquan, "Or is your father just stupid?"

Duan Yunquan: "..."

Then he shook his head with a smile: "He likely underestimated you, thinking this is the most effective way to deal with shop owners. Besides, this is you; with someone else, they would probably have chosen to minimize the issue by paying a bit of compensation. He would then continue to blackmail you under the claim you were at fault. Apply a little public pressure, and you might not be able to smooth it over."

"How do you plan to handle it?"

Duan Yunquan sneered coldly: "Since he dared to make a move on you, don’t blame me for being unkind."

"Will your older brother agree? After all, no matter what, he is Duan Yunhai’s birth father."

"It will hurt him more not to target him directly but to target the ones he loves most. Duan Yunhai might still have feelings for him, but does he still care about Lin Fei or her two children?"

"What are you planning to do? Hand over your recording from that day to Duan Yunhai?"

"No, it’s not the right time yet," Duan Yunquan shook his head, "My current position isn’t strong enough. Although Duan Minghui is at fault, there’s no guarantee Duan Yunhai won’t resent me for knowing about this matter before him."

Listening, Ye Qiu felt a pang of heartache; despite his current appearance as a noble young master, who knew the hardships he endured in the past to survive and learn more?

"Don’t look at me with those eyes, back then, I felt fulfilled when I could share what I learned with you and our older brother. From beginning to end, Duan Yunhai and I have always had a relationship of mere convenience, there’s nothing to be unbalanced about, truly." Duan Yunquan nodded to strengthen his credibility.

"Alright," Ye Qiu didn’t press further. After all, the hard days were long gone, and her second brother had already rid his life of past misfortunes, "So, how do you plan to teach them a lesson?"

"Those children of his, whom he is so proud of, have long been spoiled rotten, thinking they can do anything just because their family is rich. A little guidance is all it takes for others to sort them out, then we’ll see if he still has any energy left to deal with us," Duan Yunquan said coolly.

"Be cautious, don’t do anything foolish."

"I understand, after all, us four siblings need to reunite." With that thought, Duan Yunquan felt anything was doable; most importantly, he didn’t need to worry about his older brother, third sister, and younger sister, which gave him the leeway to act freely.

In the days that followed, the high society of A City heard two more pieces of gossip about the Duan Family: one is about Duan Yunluan, the son of the current Duan Family Lady, reportedly arrogantly provoking the youngest son of the Zhang Family from Capital City, accidentally breaking his leg over a woman, prompting the Zhang Family to publicly declare they wouldn’t let it go.

Then there’s the tale of this Duan Family’s young lady eloping with a public relations man. Not only was she conned out of all her savings and jewelry, but before the man left the country, he threw a party to mock her lack of brains. This incident thoroughly ruined the reputation of the Duan Family’s Miss Duan Yunmei, causing the two wealthy families Lin Fei had been in contact with for marriage alliances to immediately sever ties with them, leaving Duan Yunmei as a joke within their social circle.

As these two incidents broke out, Lin Fei and Duan Minghui exhausted themselves running around, leaving them no time or energy to trouble Duan Yunquan and Ye Qiu. It can only be said that Duan Yunquan’s methods were indeed ruthless.
