Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1394 - 1383: The Little Uncle of the Prestigious Family

Qian Yalan sat on the sofa, contentedly watching her daughter rush around at her bidding. Oh, no, this wasn’t her daughter; her daughter was enjoying life in a wealthy family. This was Shen Huiran, that boastful woman’s daughter.

She knew Zhao Yao was obedient and smart and she shouldn’t treat her this way. But whenever she thought of the hardships she had endured over the years, she felt it was unfair.

Back in university, she was much better than Shen Huiran, even her boyfriend was the campus heartthrob everyone envied, while Shen Huiran could only be with the mediocre Ye Bai.

But what happened? A star in school; outside, without connections, the once-celebrated personality turned into a nobody. In contrast, Shen Huiran ended up becoming a wealthy wife at home. Back then, she was young and naive, believing that being talented was everything, but reality dealt her a heavy blow. Sometimes, a person might struggle their whole life but never reach someone else’s starting point.

After marriage, be it the malls Shen Huiran shopped at, the restaurants she dined in, or what she wore, used, and ate, all were beyond her reach. Shen Huiran could spend money without hesitation, while she had to calculate even the cost of groceries for the day.

At school reunions, she deeply experienced the cold and warmth of human relationships. Her once highly praised husband became unnoticed, while Ye Bai was toasted again and again. Those female classmates were snobbish, sarcastically mocking her lack of vision compared to Shen Huiran, suggesting she’d have later fortune with someone like Shen Huiran, a rich lady friend; wouldn’t she be able to borrow branded bags every day?

Qian Lan Ya swore fiercely within, even if she were penniless for the rest of her life, she would never accept Shen Huiran’s charity.

After the reunion, her husband finally showed her hope by finding a job with a pretty good salary. But fate dealt another blow; her husband Zhao Pengfei was scapegoated by his boss, plunging her, newly pregnant, into despair.

With nowhere to turn, she could only seek help from Shen Huiran, the one most likely to assist her. Her intention was to have Shen Huiran help her husband overturn his conviction. To her shock, instead, she was asked to be a maid at her house and serve her while pregnant!

Could Qian Lan Ya refuse? No, she was born into a family that favored sons over daughters. Ever since graduation, her parents forced her to send money home every month. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law blamed her for putting too much pressure on Zhao Pengfei, causing the outcome, refusing to offer any help. And finding a job while pregnant was even more difficult. What about rent? Living expenses? How would the child be born?

Despite overwhelming humiliation, Qian Lan Ya with no way out had to accept Shen Huiran’s demand and became the maid for the Ye Family.

After moving into the Ye Family and experiencing Shen Huiran’s lavish lifestyle, Qian Lan Ya felt even more unbalanced. Back in school, Shen Huiran couldn’t compare to her; why was her fate so much better?

So what if Ye Bai was an illegitimate child? He was an illegitimate child of the Ye Family! That was the Ye Family, whose name could be found on the lists of wealthy families! A random leak from their fingers was enough for an ordinary person to live worry-free for a lifetime.

Moreover, the Ye Family was so wealthy, saving her husband would surely be a minute task; why did Shen Huiran refuse this favor? Was it just to watch her suffer?

Her days at the Ye Family grew increasingly uncomfortable. She was fed up with Shen Huiran’s insincere kindness telling her not to work and even more fed up with Shen Huiran’s mother-in-law’s mocking gaze and the other maids at the house who were hostile and exclusive. If Shen Huiran truly considered her, wouldn’t she have stopped these things from happening?

As she and Shen Huiran’s bellies grew day by day, Qian Lan Ya conceived a bold idea. It was obviously not the due date, but for that bold thought, when Shen Huiran’s mother-in-law and Ye Bai were not at home, she gave both Shen Huiran and herself medicine, inducing labor for both.

That fool Shen Huiran really followed her idea and arranged for the two of them to be in the same ward. Seizing the opportunity after delivery while Shen Huiran was weak and asleep, she forced herself to switch the babies’ name tags.

Watching Shen Huiran tenderly holding her daughter and seeing her daughter having the best things, although Qian Lan Ya felt reluctant, she was also pleased and felt assured. At least her daughter wouldn’t suffer with her and wouldn’t bear the reputation of a jailed father.

As for Shen Huiran’s daughter, Qian Lan Ya felt complex at first. She was guilty for taking everything from the child and yet felt the joy of revenge against Shen Huiran. She resolved to treat her better in the future.

But sometimes a person’s thoughts change slowly over time. Qian Lan Ya feared that as the children grew, Ye Family might notice something amiss, so she hurriedly moved out as soon as the children turned one month old.

Days passed, and unable to see her biological daughter, Qian Lan Ya gradually vented this resentment on Zhao Yao. Moreover, she couldn’t go out to make money while taking care of Zhao Yao alone, and her savings dwindled. A baby is uncontrollable; she felt no motherly love toward Zhao Yao, so every time she changed a diaper or washed the sheets, her resentment towards Zhao Yao increased.

Slowly, Zhao Yao became her emotional outlet. As soon as Zhao Yao could do housework, all tasks that could be done were handed over to Zhao Yao.

Five years later, Zhao Pengfei was released from prison. After these setbacks, Zhao Pengfei didn’t become resilient but began to give in to despair, increasing the pressure on Qian Lan Ya, and adding to Zhao Yao’s household chores.

Maybe because the love from campus days still lingered, or perhaps she held hope for Zhao Pengfei, Qian Lan Ya didn’t divorce but chose to have another child to stimulate Zhao Pengfei’s drive.

A year later, the younger son Zhao Tian was born, and Qian Lan Ya succeeded in pushing Zhao Pengfei to work. But how easy is it to find a good job? Especially as Zhao Pengfei had a criminal record. So by the time Zhao Tian was nine, their family life was still not affluent.

Disappointment with life and yearning for her daughter over the years made Qian Lan Ya increasingly displeased with Zhao Yao, so she never cared about Zhao Yao’s studies, usually taking out her frustration on Zhao Yao when she felt down.

Today, she saw news on her phone, where Shen Huiran, as the initiator of a charity plan, was praised by the media. Looking at the glamorous former friend and then at herself, troubled and worn-out from life, Qian Lan Ya felt a deep resentment.
