Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1400 - 1389: The Prestigious Family’s Young Uncle
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
The young Ye Xingyun watched his crying mother and sister, and his silent father. Although he was only ten years old, he could already understand the adults’ conversation. Did his uncle just say that the sister wasn’t his biological sister? His real sister was someone else?
Ye Xingyun felt a bit happy inside. No one knew that he actually didn’t like his sister. Whenever she was around, people’s attention would always be on her, and even their parents told him to learn more from her.
Although Mom said she wouldn’t send the sister away, she was not his biological sister after all. Would she still be able to discipline him? Would anyone still compare him to her? As for his biological sister, he didn’t have any feelings for her. Judging by the way his parents acted, they didn’t seem to have any feelings for her either, so it didn’t affect him much.
Looking at Ye Xingyan’s tearful face, the little Ye Xingyun unexpectedly felt a sense of satisfaction. It was because she used to always compete with him for their parents’ attention.
But Ye Xingyun was clearly celebrating too early. As a mother, knowing that her daughter wasn’t her biological child and yet never wanting to return her, showed just how deep Shen Huiran’s feelings for Ye Xingyan were.
Seeing Ye Xingyan looking so heartbroken now, Shen Huiran was filled with indescribable pain. How she wished Xingyan was her biological daughter! Why did her brother-in-law have to meddle and reveal the truth?
"Husband?" She looked at her husband pleadingly, holding on to Ye Xingyan tightly, "I don’t want Xingyan to go back; I have raised her for fifteen years. I can’t bear to let her go. You can’t bear to either, right?"
Hearing this, Ye Xingyan raised her head, showing eyes full of pleading: "I don’t want to leave you. Dad, please don’t make me go, okay?"
Ye Bai frowned impatiently, but his voice remained gentle: "Dad never said he wanted to send you away."
"Thank you, Dad." Ye Xingyan immediately hugged him, "I knew Dad and Mom loved me the most."
Ye Xingyun, standing to the side, pouted without saying a word.
At this moment, Zhang Jingyi, who was taking a walk outside, asked Ye Qiu: "You’re not usually one to meddle in others’ affairs. Why did you suddenly look into your brother’s family matters? And make such a serious announcement in front of everyone?"
Zhang Jingyi knew her son very well. Despite appearing amicable towards Ye Bai’s family, just like herself, it was all for her husband’s sake. Her husband had brought them back under the pretext of taking care of their son, which made her feel too embarrassed to drive them away. If there was any real familial affection, she didn’t believe it.
"It’s my niece, after all. Knowing about it, I couldn’t just pretend to be ignorant, so I looked into it as well," Ye Qiu casually gave a reason.
But Zhang Jingyi did not let it go at that and continued to ask: "And the room you specially prepared? Isn’t that for Ye Bai’s biological daughter?"
"Yes."
"Then why..."
"Mom, do you remember the first time I went out that day?"
"How could I forget? Mrs. Mei said you fell, and you wouldn’t let her and Brother Li help you. In the end, it was a kind-hearted female student who helped you up. Are you saying..."
"That’s right." Ye Qiu nodded, "I didn’t expect such a coincidence. Just by checking casually, I found her. Maybe it’s fate. If she hadn’t kindly helped me up back then, I probably wouldn’t have helped her return home after knowing the truth. Is this what they call a good deed being rewarded?"
"It certainly seems so." Zhang Jingyi chuckled softly, "No wonder you put so much care into her. It appears that this girl indeed deserves it. But after all, it is Ye Bai’s family affair. You’ve done enough. Don’t involve yourself any further."
"Alright." Ye Qiu agreed readily, knowing that his mother didn’t want him to overexert himself and that they didn’t have much affection for Ye Bai’s family. In the past, his amiable attitude towards Ye Xingyan was just because she was a little girl, and he didn’t want to embarrass her.
Nevertheless, how he would actually act depended on himself. Zhao Yao was truly a girl worthy of being loved. Whether out of duty or compassion for a child, he didn’t want her to feel only indifference and rejection upon arriving at the Ye Family.
The next day was the last day of the National Day holiday. Zhao Yao didn’t go out to do her part-time job but prepared to finish the unfinished assignments. However, today her mom Qian Lan Ya and her brother Zhao Tian were home, so her plan to do homework wasn’t going smoothly. Just as she was about to find an excuse to go to the library, there was a knock on the door.
While she was at home, no matter what she was doing, no one else in the house would open the door. If she was slightly slow, Qian Lan Ya would either curse at her or punish her harshly.
However, it was obviously not someone familiar who came today. Looking at the stylish and glamorous man and woman in front of her, she felt a bit dazed: "And you are? May I ask what the matter is?"
"Who is it? If they’re solicitors, just shut the door! Why waste so many words?" Qian Lan Ya’s impatient voice came from inside.
"Lanya, do you remember me?" Shen Huiran spoke up, looking at Zhao Yao with a complicated expression full of guilt, remorse, and a bit of scrutiny.
This made Zhao Yao even more uncomfortable because such a look made her very uneasy.
However, upon hearing Shen Huiran’s voice, Qian Lan Ya inside the house suddenly panicked. Others might not understand, but she knew that Shen Huiran had come to settle accounts with her. After all, she had switched their daughters for fifteen years.
Even though she was afraid of facing the consequences, Qian Lan Ya somehow felt a thrill. Her daughter must have been well raised by Shen Huiran these years. She heard that Ye Bai had even been brought back to the Family Head Ye’s house in recent years. Her daughter must have had the best of everything. What about Shen Huiran’s daughter?
These years, she could only do various house chores under her command, couldn’t even do her homework properly, and even her clothes from childhood were all castoffs from others. Even if she faced revenge now, it would be worth it.
She watched Shen Huiran come into the house and saw the slightly disdainful expression on Shen Huiran’s face upon seeing the state of the room. Hatred brewed in her heart, but it wasn’t much better than her own life. What right did Shen Huiran have to look down on her?
She touched her rough cheeks, and then looked at Shen Huiran’s obviously well-maintained and unchanged fair face, feeling even more jealous. back in school, she was more popular than Shen Huiran, and back then Ye Bai had also shown interest in her.
If she hadn’t fallen in love with Pengfei and introduced Ye Bai to her, would Shen Huiran have the life she had today?
She was aware that back then, Shen Huiran had deliberately sought revenge against her, thinking she had passed an unwanted man onto her. But without her, could Shen Huiran have become a wealthy lady?
Unfortunately, she was too young back then, too naive in the pursuit of love. Otherwise, everything Shen Huiran had today would have been hers.
