Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1385 - 1374: Refusing to Be a Tragic Heroine

A word too many when there is no common ground, Li Jiaru felt that the image of Mrs. Zhang in her mind had collapsed.

"Mrs. Zhang, I’m very sorry, but my mind is made up, and I believe my brother Xianwei also wishes to find a woman he truly loves to be his wife." Li Jiaru tactfully refused again.

Mrs. Zhang’s face immediately turned icy. With her status, when had she ever had to lower herself this way to ask someone for something? The other person was so ungrateful that she quickly became impatient.

"Miss Li, I didn’t come here today to beg you. You should know that there are plenty of noble ladies chasing after our Xianwei. Look around the entire Ming City; which young man is more promising than our Xianwei? If you miss out today, don’t regret it later." Mrs. Zhang said arrogantly.

Li Jiaru’s expression wasn’t good either; did she still covet Zhang Xianwei? If Zhang Xianwei was so popular, why did they call her today?

"Since your noble son is in such demand, I am not worthy. Mrs. Zhang, I am just an ordinary woman; I only hope my future husband will not betray me, and I surely don’t want him to bring back illegitimate children. Please forgive me for not having your high level of awareness. I am declining this marriage." Li Jiaru said firmly.

With that, she stood up to bid farewell to Zhang Xianwei’s mother: "I have things to attend to at the company, so I won’t accompany Mrs. Zhang any longer."

Watching her leave, Mrs. Zhang was furious. Born into prestige and receiving adoration from many after marrying into the Zhang family, when had she ever been humiliated this way? Especially by a junior, who used to chase after her son!

Mrs. Zhang felt a pang of anger in her chest, feeling that Li Jiaru was extremely ungrateful. If that’s the case, don’t blame her for suppressing the Li family later, showing everyone the consequences of offending the Zhang family.

But now, her son faced threats both front and back. One side had the Cheng family pressing closely, and the other had familial higher-ups eyeing her son’s position. Only through marriage alliance could they swiftly find allies.

However, Mrs. Zhang looked down on average families. It was already not easy to find a family like the Li’s that barely met her previous standards, yet Li Jiaru had the nerve to disdain her son. She should be grateful they didn’t disdain her.

With her pride, Mrs. Zhang naturally wouldn’t beg. Inviting Li Jiaru for a meal today was already her biggest concession.

If no suitable match could be found in Ming City, she’d look elsewhere. To show sincerity in marriage alliance, what she knew she must do was deal with the woman named Ye Qiu, and the child whose parental ties were uncertain, refusing to acknowledge them regardless.

"Book a flight for tomorrow; I’m going to Luocheng."

Today, as Ye Qiu was accompanying her daughter, she sensed someone staring. Turning around, she spotted a well-dressed lady.

"I didn’t expect you to have such skills," the lady said arrogantly. "But no matter how successful you appear to others, to me, you’re just a street vendor. I won’t let you enter our Zhang family’s door."

Alright then, Ye Qiu didn’t need to guess further. This woman must be Zhang Xianwei’s mother. Chased away the younger one, and now the older one came? What’s wrong with this family, always saying she wasn’t worthy of the Zhang family when she had no desire to relate to them?

She didn’t even want to waste words on this woman, planning to leave without acknowledging her.

"Stop." Mrs. Zhang was angry that Ye Qiu, a mere little woman, dared to ignore her. How insolent!

But why should Ye Qiu follow her commands? She had had enough of Zhang Xianwei’s arrogance and ignorance. Why pay attention to his mother’s overbearing demands?

Seeing Ye Qiu continue walking, Mrs. Zhang was furious: "Didn’t you hear me? I’m talking to you. Who taught you such rudeness? Your mother?"

This time Ye Qiu was really angry. She halted, turned back, and glared: "Say that again?"

Though she’s petite, her strong aura was intimidating, especially when angry. Mrs. Zhang’s heart skipped, suddenly surprised and then furious. How could a common woman make her feel intimidated?

"I said it and I’ll say it again." She regained her composure, adopting her superior stance. "As the wife of the noble Zhang family, when I talk to you, who taught you to be so disrespectful?"

"Mrs. Zhang? Do I know you? Why should I listen to you? Why should I be reprimanded by you? And who raised you to be so rude? Did you even introduce yourself when you came to me? It’s a joke." Ye Qiu retorted mercilessly, wondering what drove them to humiliation.

"Insolent!" Mrs. Zhang was indeed infuriated, never before insulted this way in her life, not even when Li Jiaru rejected the marriage. Who was Ye Qiu to dare?

"You’re the insolent one. I just threw out your son, and now you’re here too. What, not enough beatings for your Zhang family?" Ye Qiu threatened, raising her hand, "Don’t think I won’t hit women. Stop disturbing me, or don’t blame me for being rude."

Mrs. Zhang was shocked by Ye Qiu’s serious tone, swallowing nervously: "What you’re doing is illegal, don’t think I’m afraid."

"Law? Do the Zhang family members even acknowledge the law? You saying the word is hilariously absurd."

Mrs. Zhang retired in fear, never having encountered such a situation. Who in the past wasn’t respectful towards her? Even if they had hidden motives, their facade was polite. But this Ye Qiu bluntly threatened violence, making Mrs. Zhang question why her son related to such a woman.

"How much do you want?" Mrs. Zhang forced herself to maintain calm.

What?

Ye Qiu thought she misheard, raising an eyebrow.

"Is ten million enough? Take your daughter and leave the country, swear never to return." Mrs. Zhang thought she guessed Ye Qiu’s intention, raising her chin arrogantly, making an outrageous offer.

"Ten million to drive me away? Consider it for ten billion, how’s that?" Ye Qiu mocked, "A dignified Zhang family can’t afford that minimal amount to make someone leave forever?"

Mrs. Zhang’s face darkened: "Don’t push your luck."

Ye Qiu sneered: "Aren’t you the ones always pushing? Seems you haven’t learned enough lessons, but you will regret your actions."

"Such arrogance, do you think being close to Cheng Ruiting guarantees safety? You’re smug for a woman dumped by my son? Cheng Ruiting isn’t disgusted?" Mrs. Zhang loudly mocked, believing it would restore her dignity.

Then she was slapped hard across the face by Ye Qiu, the sound crisp and loud.
