Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1388 - 1377: Not the Abused Female Lead

When it was reported that Zhang Xianwei endured Du Jiao’s abuse without complaint, his reputation unknowingly declined in Ming City, and many girls were very disappointed, crossing him off their list of Prince Charming.

Li Jiaru was even more relieved after hearing this, glad that she had distanced herself from the Zhang Family early on. Thinking back on her own past submissiveness, she mocked herself for not being strong enough; otherwise, how could Zhang Xianwei have boldly talked about his affairs with her?

Now, facing the stronger Du Family and the demanding Du Jiao, isn’t he completely silent? Bidding farewell to his so-called "true love"?

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but admire Ye Qiu’s foresight. At that time, Ye Qiu was still an ordinary woman without much influence, but in the face of Zhang Xianwei’s threats and temptations, she wasn’t tempted at all. She left without hesitation, not giving a shred of dignity to Zhang Xianwei.

Later, Zhang Xianwei went looking for her again and suffered quite a lot; if it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have to compromise now, seeking support from the Du Family like selling himself.

Through this matter, Li Jiaru clearly realized that women aren’t born to depend on men; they have better choices and can earn respect and attention through their own efforts.

In contrast, Zhang Xianwei’s life now was far less satisfactory. Du Jiao was very spoiled. After finding out he kept a mistress, although the engagement was not called off, her control over him became strict, not allowing him near even female employees at the company.

Zhang Xianwei used to be the Heaven’s Chosen Son; how could he have ever been treated like this? But for the Du Family’s funds, he had to endure it. However, Du Jiao wasn’t stupid and knew he was exploiting them.

But he was handsome, and Du Jiao put up with it for the time being. However, Mr. Du was wary in secret, making it difficult for Zhang Xianwei to get money.

In dire straits, Zhang Xianwei one day saw a wedding report about Ye Qiu and Cheng Ruiting. He couldn’t understand why Cheng Ruiting would marry a woman deemed unfit for him, and what could Ye Qiu offer Cheng Ruiting?

But amid his confusion, he also felt jealousy; why must he be so out of control?

Yet, even as he was suspicious, he didn’t want to admit that he once had feelings for Ye Qiu. But even so, he would never retaliate against someone like Cheng Ruiting because of Ye Qiu. Was Cheng Ruiting foolish? Fighting to mutual ruin over a woman?

At the same time, he felt a tinge of defeat; despite not wanting to admit it, after going through so much, he finally understood that Ye Qiu truly never liked him and never wanted to curry favor. Everything was his own delusion; even he had wrongly believed Ye Youhuan was his child.

Thinking of the things he said and did in front of Ye Qiu, Zhang Xianwei felt a sense of shame, realizing how ridiculous he must have appeared back then. He wondered how they might have mocked him.

Moreover, he felt more embarrassed and angry, questioning what made Cheng Ruiting better than him? Why did Ye Qiu look down on him?

But now, they were already married, living as the enviable immortal couple, whereas he felt even looking at Du Jiao was a waste; if only he hadn’t been schemed against, would it have come to this?

However, Zhang Xianwei spoke too soon, for there was still much more about Cheng Ruiting to be envious of; Ye Qiu’s ambition went far beyond a small braised food shop. To align with Cheng Ruiting, she advanced her plans for a flora and fauna-themed vacation resort.

Whether it’s the park’s design or the architectural style, it was all Ye Qiu’s handiwork, focusing on being close to nature. Having traveled various parts of the world, her insight was beyond ordinary. As soon as she presented the plan and rough sketches, Cheng Ruiting was eager to invest. It wasn’t due to marital support or sympathy, but his keen business acumen recognizing that once Ye Qiu’s theme park launched, it would definitely be a financial success.

Once plans were confirmed and funds secured, Ye Qiu’s side was in full swing with development. Luocheng’s geographic location wasn’t great; not coastal nor a political center. Had it not been for Cheng Group’s aggressive development, Luocheng wouldn’t compare to the surrounding major cities.

But Luocheng had its own advantages, with beautiful scenery and abundant resources like mountains, plains, rivers, and forests, making it a famous tourist city. Ye Qiu and Cheng Ruiting’s goal was to leverage these beauties and promote Luocheng nationally and globally.

Initially, the board thought they were being fanciful, but once Ye Qiu fully showcased the plan, they were speechless, equally ambitious.

Few wouldn’t want their hometown to prosper; if they could make money while enhancing hometown influence, why not?

So by the time Ye Youhuan learned about it, Qiurui Luo Entertainment City had already taken form, originally planned to open in five years, now seeming promising.

Ye Youhuan was genuinely astonished; she hadn’t expected her mom to be so capable. If her mom had been this decisive in her past life, wouldn’t the tragedy have been avoided?

The disparity between people was vast; with Dad, Mom could only be a housewife, perpetually misunderstood, misinterpreted, and humiliated. But in this life with Uncle Cheng, she had discovered her potential as a strong woman.

Especially when she heard that Dad Zhang Xianwei under Du Family’s daughter’s suppression couldn’t even make a fuss, she realized her dad might indeed have relied on family status to reach that point.

The Zhang Family indeed faced difficulties from all sides now, but if he were capable and confident, would it have come to this? Even if temporarily suppressed, so what? With talent, resurgence would surely follow, wouldn’t it?

Now, though maintaining the status of the authority figure, could facing contempt really be satisfying? Even if future stability ensues, others would only say it’s due to a woman.

Moreover, if the couple had a good relationship, one could say they were united, earning praise. But unfortunately, their discord had long become public gossip, with outsiders speculating they were living separate lives; other elite families even maintaining mistresses were less ostentatious, so why be extravagant?

Ye Youhuan felt that if he exploited the daughter, couldn’t he treat her well? Du Jiao wasn’t always dismissive of him; wasn’t it all his own doing?

Seeing Mom and Uncle Cheng in harmonious love, and then seeing her past life’s biological dad, Ye Youhuan found even looking at him one more time bothersome.
