Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1392 - 1381: The Young Master of the Prestigious Family

When Ye Tang came home today, he felt that the atmosphere in the house was a bit different. His eldest son’s whole family was sitting stiffly on the sofa, their eyes drifting toward the kitchen from time to time, and the younger son, who hadn’t smiled in four years, was actually standing at the kitchen door talking to someone, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Qiu’er!" Ye Tang hurried over impatiently, but the instant his youngest son saw him, the smile on his face vanished, making him feel as if he’d just imagined what he saw a moment ago.

"Dad." Although the smile was gone from his face, Ye Qiu still broke with his usual habit and greeted him.

"Hey..." Ye Tang replied in a trembling voice, and just as he was about to say something more, he saw his youngest son turn his head again, his expression calm as he looked toward the kitchen.

Ye Tang stood where he was without moving. He didn’t know how long it had been since he’d last seen such a scene. The sunlight on his son’s pale, thin cheeks even gave it a faintly unreal feeling.

"Grandpa." Ye Xingyan stepped forward and called softly, making Ye Tang frown unconsciously, his eyes turning on her with displeasure, as if blaming her for shattering this beautiful moment.

The words Ye Xingyan had just prepared stuck in her throat, a flicker of grievance and forbearance flashing through her heart.

It was always like this. As long as her little uncle was around, there was no room for anyone else in Grandpa’s eyes. Ye Qiu was already like this now; wouldn’t he still have to rely on their family in the future? She didn’t expect to rank higher than anyone in Grandpa’s heart, she just wanted to be treated fairly.

Ye Xingyan thought for a moment and was about to speak again, but just then Zhang Jingyi came out of the kitchen, holding a pair of chopsticks with a piece of fish, which she placed directly into Ye Qiu’s mouth, cutting her off once more.

"Taste it and see if the fish Mom made is good. Is it still the flavor you like?" Zhang Jingyi looked at her son with tender affection, her eyes full of smiles.

"It’s delicious. Mom, your cooking is the best." Ye Qiu praised without the slightest hesitation.

The smile on Zhang Jingyi’s face deepened. "Then Mom will make it for you every day from now on."

"That won’t do. What if you get tired out, Mom?"

"As long as you’re willing to eat properly, Mom won’t feel tired at all."

"I will from now on. I was just too extreme these last few years. Mom, I’m sorry." Ye Qiu lowered his head and spoke in deep remorse.

Zhang Jingyi immediately pulled him into her arms in distress, choking up as she said, "You haven’t let me down at all. Son, you’ve already done enough."

"That’s right, Qiu’er, just being willing to step out of it already makes us very happy." Tears shimmered in Ye Tang’s pair of tired eyes, completely at odds with his usual image as a cold, strict, high-powered CEO, but his sudden embrace made Ye Qiu’s body stiffen slightly.

A successful man like Ye Tang was in no way lacking in sensitivity. He felt his son’s rejection and his heart instantly ached. He simply thought that he hadn’t handled things at work properly back then, causing his son to suffer a disaster he shouldn’t have, and that his son still held a grudge against him.

However, he didn’t expect his son to change his attitude toward him right away. Just the fact that his son was willing to slowly walk out of the shadows was already enough to make him very happy.

Aside from Ye Qiu, no one else noticed Ye Tang’s soft sigh. Especially in the eyes of Ye Xingyan and her family, they felt like outsiders here.

What made Ye Bai, her father, even more at a loss was that now that Ye Qiu was willing to interact with people, would he be going back to inherit the company in the future? Then what about him? Would he be driven away again?

Having tasted the sweet benefits of being the heir, how could the once contented Ye Bai be willing to go back now? Even though Ye Tang had told him long ago that even if he managed the company in the future, the shares would still belong to Ye Qiu, that was worlds apart from going back to be a carefree rich second generation illegitimate son.

Ye Bai’s expression shifted between dark and light as he thought, his gaze complicated as he looked at Ye Qiu. Why did it have to be at this time? He had only just gained a foothold in the company. He had only just experienced the thrill of having real power; why did Ye Qiu have to pull himself together at this exact moment?

Ye Bai was unwilling to go back and silently swore in his heart that even if Father wanted to drive him out now, he wouldn’t leave so easily.

Ye Xingyan was still too young to understand what was in her father’s heart, but her sharp sense of crisis had already risen. She finally seized a chance to speak. "Grandpa, today Little Uncle personally trimmed some flowers and put them in your study. They look so beautiful."

"Really?" The heart that had just fallen a little sank and then leaped again in Ye Tang’s chest, deep smile lines appearing at the corners of his eyes. "Son, Dad is really too happy today."

"I cut them for Mom." Ye Qiu stated honestly.

Ye Tang didn’t take it to heart, thinking his son was just being awkward. His wife had only been to the study a few times; wasn’t he the one who used it most of the time? His son was just awkwardly showing concern for him!

Because of that, Ye Tang’s attitude toward Ye Xingyan, who had brought him this piece of news, also softened a great deal. He nodded gently at her.

Ye Xingyan hid the wild joy in her heart. It had been four years, and her always-strict grandpa had actually shown her such a gentle expression. So it really was true that only Little Uncle was Grandpa’s soft spot, wasn’t it?

Her eyes flickered as she glanced at Ye Qiu, and she made up her mind inside. Since the company’s shares were destined to be Little Uncle’s, what if she could win him over?

She knew that Little Uncle didn’t like their family, but his leg had already been pronounced hopeless by the doctors. Grandpa was getting old, and her step-grandmother’s health was poor as well. Wouldn’t Little Uncle still have to rely on their family in the future? Sooner or later, he would realize who was truly most important to him. As long as she kept at it, as long as she worked hard and didn’t give up, she would definitely be able to soften Little Uncle’s heart.

"Let’s eat." Under his wife’s encouragement, Ye Tang personally went to push his son’s wheelchair. Seeing that his son didn’t resist, his inner excitement rose another notch.

The whole big family ate at the same table, but there were two separate sets of dishes. Ye Tang, Ye Qiu, and Zhang Jingyi ate the dishes that Zhang Jingyi had just cooked herself, while Ye Bai and his wife, son, and daughter ate the ones made by the chef.

The arrangement of seats was also particularly telling. Ye Tang sat at the head of the table, with Ye Qiu on his left and Zhang Jingyi on his right. Only after them came Ye Bai and his family, as if they were two separate households, completely out of place with one another.

It wasn’t just Ye Bai who felt ill at ease; his wife, Shen Huiran, was even more uncomfortable. In their previous home, she’d had a mother-in-law who nitpicked her at every turn. Now that they’d come here, there was yet another mother-in-law, and she was a little confused as to which one was the "real" mother-in-law.

This mother-in-law had never made things difficult for her, but had always treated her like air. Fortunately, they only had to eat dinner together every day, which made each day just barely bearable for her.

She was just as uneasy about the future. When they’d been dating, she’d only thought her husband had a bit of money. Later she found out that he was actually the illegitimate son of the mighty Ye Family’s president. Just when she’d gotten used to a leisurely life as a rich wife, she was told that her husband was about to be brought back to the Ye Family to take over the family business, which had once left her very lost and unsettled.
