Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1369 - 1358: Refusing to Be an Abused Novel Heroine

The police clearly knew Zhang Xianwei, and seeing his ugly expression now, awkwardly asked, "Mr. Zhang, is what this young lady is saying true?"
"Are you questioning me?" Zhang Xianwei glared at them, "With my status and position, what kind of woman can’t I get? Why would I need to force someone?"
This reasoning had some weight, so everyone turned to look at Ye Qiu. Her expression now was much more serious, "Miss, Mr. Zhang says this didn’t happen. Please don’t joke about calling the police."
Ye Qiu’s face was indifferent, "Can’t ordinary people call the police when they’re harmed? Just because Zhang Xianwei says it didn’t happen, doesn’t make it true. What if he just has that kind of fetish?"
"Please provide evidence, or we can sue you."
"I demand a check-up. Won’t it prove soon if he forced me or not after the check-up?"
Ye Qiu spoke reasonably, and because of that, the police had nothing to say, while Zhang Xianwei also glared at her with a dark face.
"Do you really want to go for a check-up?" He looked at her mockingly, "You should know, once you do, you’ll never return."
Ye Qiu’s expression was calm, proving she had lost patience with Zhang Xianwei, "Zhang Xianwei, I’ve said before, others might find you desirable, I don’t. I just want justice."
"Justice?" Zhang Xianwei laughed, "You think a check-up will get you justice? Don’t forget, you came to my house on your own. Who knows what your intentions were? What can a check-up reveal?"
Ye Qiu pressed her lips tightly. She understood, but calling the police was her only hope of escaping from Zhang Xianwei.
"Ye Qiu, you should know how powerful Brother Xianwei is. If you really make this a public issue, think about what your family will suffer." This was when Li Jiaru also spoke up for Zhang Xianwei, clearly not wanting her fiancé to bear the disgrace of forcing a civilian woman and being scorned.
"You guys really have strange tastes." Ye Qiu looked at the two of them, "One likes to imagine everyone is into him, and the other tries to exonerate her fiancé. You’re truly a match made in heaven. Promise me, don’t go outside and harm others anymore, alright?"
"You!" Zhang Xianwei and Li Jiaru glared at her simultaneously.
"Miss Ye, where are you going? You think you can casually leave after filing a false report?" The police, seeing Zhang Xianwei’s seething anger, took it upon themselves to rebuke Ye Qiu.
"Do you want to turn the tables and accuse me?" Ye Qiu turned back to look at Zhang Xianwei, "Then let’s go for a check-up now."
"Let her go." The words were squeezed out through Zhang Xianwei’s gritted teeth, and he glared menacingly at Ye Qiu to continue intimidating her, "If you leave now, I’ll make your family’s life unbearable."
Ye Qiu paused but then continued walking out, "Do as you please, I just don’t believe your power extends so far in another city."
Li Jiaru watched Ye Qiu’s back with a complex expression. She truly didn’t expect Ye Qiu to actually leave Zhang Xianwei. This was something others couldn’t even beg for, and even her desire to live with him was rejected.
She thought Ye Qiu would be her greatest rival, but unexpectedly she’s walking away with nothing. Does she really not love Zhang Xianwei? Even if not, isn’t money important?
Li Jiaru didn’t know whether to call Ye Qiu foolish or proud, but with her departure, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The villa area was far from the city. Ye Qiu didn’t have a car, and her body had been violently mistreated by Zhang Xianwei last night. If it weren’t for the Spiritual Spring Water in her space, she wouldn’t have the strength to walk out of there.
God knows how long she walked before she finally reached a bus stop, and after two bus transfers, she returned to her original home, a rundown and somewhat dirty old neighborhood. Decades ago, the city’s wealthy lived here, but now it only houses migrant workers and locals without much ability.
Her original body’s father had died early, leaving behind a sickly mother to support her and her younger brother Ye Guo. Fortunately, before his death, her father had left this small, rundown house; otherwise, the mother and kids wouldn’t know what to do.
Her mother wasn’t in good health and was assigned a job by the local government as a morning cleaner. The cleaner’s salary wasn’t enough to support the family, so whenever she had free time, her mother Chen Ju would take on some handwork. This never changed over the years, and when Ye Qiu returned, she found her sewing at the table.
"Qiu’er, why is your face so pale? Did something happen?" She looked at her frail daughter and quickly put down her work to support her, her face filled with worry.
"Mom, I’m fine, just a bit tired." Ye Qiu forced a smile, then sat on the couch, staring absent-mindedly at the handcrafted work on the table.
"Mom, doesn’t doing this tire your eyes?" she suddenly sighed.
Chen Ju was momentarily stunned, then shook her head with a smile, "No, doing some needlework is nothing. The factory has improved, we just need to string some beads, it’s all very simple. Are you thirsty? I’ll get you some water."
Ye Qiu looked at the tiny beads and smirked wryly. How could it not be tiring? Her mother was only in her forties and already had presbyopia, from all this work, surely?
It’s laughable. In her original body’s wishes, there was no thought of letting her mother enjoy life or her brother grow up healthy. It was all about the male leads and her own daughter. Wasn’t it her mother and brother who suffered through hardships with her in the past?
In the past life, because of her involvement with the male protagonist, due to misunderstandings, Chen Ju and Ye Guo suffered a lot. They lost jobs and opportunities to study, faced ridicule and rejection. Despite being misunderstood and abandoned by Zhang Xianwei repeatedly, Chen Ju and Ye Guo always helped her through the pain. Yet once given the chance to wish, there wasn’t a single one for Chen Ju and Ye Guo.
Truth be told, Ye Qiu despises this kind of person, so she’s decided not to care about these crappy tasks. If she can’t complete them, so be it. This time, she’s decided to follow her heart; whatever the punishment, she’ll deal with it.
"Mom, I did something wrong." Ye Qiu decided to be honest. Given Zhang Xianwei’s scummy character, now that he neither got her nor intimidated her, he would surely retaliate. Better to tell her family early and prepare.
"Is it about your benefactor?" Chen Ju cautiously asked, "Did he hurt you? It’s alright. Mom said long ago he wasn’t reliable. Better to cut ties sooner."
Ye Qiu sighed internally. So Mom knew everything, but in the past life, for her daughter’s sake, she never said anything that would trouble her, silently bearing all undeserved difficulties imposed on them.
