Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1376 - 1365: Refusing to Be an Abused Novel Heroine

Li Jiaru came quietly and left just as quietly. She didn’t know why, but when Ye Qiu mercilessly snapped at Zhang Xianwei and then walked away without the slightest hesitation, she suddenly felt that maybe she didn’t like Zhang Xianwei that much anymore.

A man who even looks down on a common woman—Li Jiaru realized it was hard to keep holding Zhang Xianwei close to her heart like before, especially after that day when he said he wanted Ye Qiu to be his mistress and that it wouldn’t affect his and her marriage. Every time she thought of those words, it felt like a bone stuck in her throat.

Yes, the Li family can’t compare to the Zhang Family, but he didn’t have to humiliate her like that!

Especially now that Ye Qiu has been gone for so long, and he’s still losing his temper and smashing things—she really couldn’t look up to him anymore.

He was like a child, except even kids these days understand reason and basic manners better than he does!

Li Jiaru felt she needed to seriously reconsider this relationship. She had always kept Zhang Xianwei in her heart—had he ever truly kept her in his?

Li Jiaru went abroad without even telling Zhang Xianwei. As one might imagine, Zhang Xianwei blew up again, though no one knew what he was angry about all day long.

While he was there fuming for no reason, the marinated food business at Ye Qiu’s home was booming. After changing stalls, their marinated dishes sold even better. Business was so good they had to hire two more people just to keep up.

With business thriving and more money coming in, it was like everyone’s whole energy had been lifted, especially Chen Ju’s.

Ever since Ye Qiu’s father died, the burden of life had weighed on her like a mountain, leaving her unable to breathe. The more sensible and obedient her two children were, the more guilty she felt for not being able to give them a better life.

Watching their savings grow day by day, what she thought about every day became when to buy a house, how much dowry to save for Ye Qiu, and what university her son should go to in the future.

In short, everything was moving in a good direction. As the saying goes, "a tree thrives when moved; people thrive when they move." It seemed leaving Ming City for Luocheng had really been the right choice.

One day, business was once again so good they closed early. On their way home, Ye Qiu and Chen Ju took a little detour to buy some fruit, and unexpectedly, on a rarely used dark side street, they found a newborn baby abandoned by the roadside.

"Who could be so heartless, throwing a child here?" Chen Ju hurriedly picked the baby up, her eyes filled with uncontrollable pity. "There are hardly any people around here, but lots of stray dogs and cats. In the dead of winter, this is basically leaving the child to die."

"Let’s go buy some formula and clothes first. Who knows how long this child has been hungry—she can barely even cry anymore. Then we’ll call an ambulance and the police." Chen Ju calmly instructed her daughter, sighing as she looked at the baby in her arms.

"What a sin, such a good little baby."

Ye Qiu thought that after sending the baby to the hospital and filing a police report, that would be the end of it. She never expected that the baby would become so attached to her and her mother. Unless they were the ones holding her, this newborn little girl refused to eat or drink. Watching her cry weaker and weaker, the police had no choice but to call them back.

"We’re really sorry. Ever since you left, she’s been like this." The policewoman also looked pained. "So we had to ask you to try."

"It’s fine." Sure enough, as soon as Chen Ju picked her up, the little girl stopped crying. Her eyes weren’t even open yet, but she was already rolling herself deeper into Chen Ju’s arms.

"Little girl, you’ve already set your mind on us?" Ye Qiu gently poked her tiny cheek, her face full of wonder.

"This child must be fated with us." Seeing how dependent she was, Chen Ju truly felt a rush of maternal affection. The more she looked at the little girl, the more she liked her, and she even impulsively asked a question.

"Can we adopt her?" As soon as she said it, she regretted it. "Sorry, that was rash of me. My family isn’t complete; it probably doesn’t meet the requirements for adoption."

As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl’s mouth drooped and she started whimpering softly, as if she understood she was being rejected.

"It’s not necessarily impossible." The policewoman hesitated. "Given how special this little girl’s situation is, we could process it as a special case."

Chen Ju’s eyes lit up. "So that means we really can adopt her?"

"We’ll need to apply to our superiors."

"What documents do we need? I’ll get them ready right away."

"Let me ask around first and then I’ll contact you. For now, I’m afraid we’ll have to trouble you to take care of her."

"It’s no trouble. I really like her anyway."

Looking at the little girl’s peaceful sleeping face, Ye Qiu couldn’t help suspecting that inside this tiny body was actually an adult soul. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?

Because Ye Qiu and her family had already bought a house in this city and had a stable source of income, and because the little girl would accept only them, the authorities eventually did handle it as a special case and issued an adoption certificate. However, who had abandoned this child still needed to be investigated.

"What should we call you?" Ye Qiu teased her while thinking, and just then, the little girl flashed her a big, shameless grin.

"Since she loves to laugh so much, let’s call her Youhuan!" Ye Guo said when he came home from school.

Ye Qiu froze for a moment, and the little girl in the crib also seemed to freeze. And just like that, the name was set.

Three years later, the Ye Family’s marinated food shops had opened all over the busy districts of Luocheng. There were many more dishes on the menu now, but the one thing that hadn’t changed was that the flavor, and the business, were as good as ever.

"You want to open a hotel?" Chen Ju looked at Ye Qiu’s proposal and didn’t turn her down. "If it’s what you want to do, then do it. No need to hesitate."

"Thanks for your support, Mom." Ye Qiu smiled lightly. "But I haven’t thought it all through yet. I want more than just a hotel—I want to build a unique resort that combines leisure and vacation, but I’m still hesitating over the specific style."

"Make it like a marine animal park. I want lots and lots of animals." Three-year-old Ye Youhuan cut in.

"You little rascal, all you know is animals." Ye Qiu tapped her on the head, but didn’t reject the idea outright.

Ye Youhuan covered her head. "But I do like them. Other kids like them too. Then I’ll have lots and lots of playmates."

"You can actually consider what Youhuan said. People are better off now and love taking their kids out to play, and they’re willing to spend money on them. Plus, every visit usually means at least a family of three. This kind of family-centered leisure and vacation is very popular." Chen Ju thought it over seriously and offered Ye Qiu this suggestion.

"I’ll think about it." Ye Qiu nodded, then picked up Ye Youhuan. "Come on, let’s go pick up your second brother."

Although when Ye Youhuan first learned to talk, she always called Ye Qiu "Mom," her household registration listed her as Chen Ju’s adopted daughter, and since Ye Qiu wasn’t married yet, they stubbornly had it corrected in the end.

After observing her for three years, Ye Qiu was basically sure that this little girl might really have memories of a past life—that the soul inside her was the daughter of the original Ye Qiu and Zhang Xianwei.

She didn’t know why she had been reborn into another child’s body, but would she still miss Zhang Xianwei as her father?
