Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1407 - 1396: The Noble Family’s Little Uncle

Because of Shen Huiran’s words yesterday, Ye Qiu woke up early and saw Ye Yao waiting, puzzled and asked, "What are you doing standing here?"

"I’m here to serve Uncle." Ye Yao replied honestly.

Ye Qiu frowned, serve? He’s not a feudal landlord, why use that term? And saying this in front of him, isn’t she afraid of making him angry? After all, his legs aren’t working, and he generally dislikes being looked down on.

Besides, he’s been paralyzed for four years. If he needed care, there would definitely be someone designated to do it. Why would someone new like her be needed now?

"Who told you to do this?"

Even when Ye Qiu isn’t smiling, he exudes pressure. Ye Yao naturally felt scared and answered truthfully, "Mom told me last night."

"What else did she say?"

"She said I should be quiet generally and not disturb you, Uncle."

Ye Qiu looked into her eyes, "Didn’t your mom say every room here is soundproof? Even if you sing karaoke in your room, it won’t affect me."

Ye Yao opened her mouth, then spoke in disappointment, "She didn’t tell me."

Ye Qiu instantly understood that this was Shen Huiran intentionally putting pressure on Ye Yao—but why? He couldn’t figure out why Shen Huiran disliked her own daughter so much; after all, she carried her for ten months, does she have no emotion at all?

"Maybe your mom is just too anxious about you adapting to the Ye Family’s life, and it will get better over time. I don’t need anyone to serve me; go have breakfast yourself." Ye Qiu could only comfort her like this, since he was only an uncle and couldn’t take the place of her real parents.

However, he would gradually be good to Ye Yao later. If Ye Bai and Shen Huiran continued to treat her this way, to prevent Ye Yao from repeating past mistakes, he could only guide her to gradually distance herself from that family.

Soon after, the other family members appeared one after another. Ye Tang and Zhang Jingyi attended an event last night and returned late, so this was the first meeting.

Ye Tang nodded slightly, "Since you’re back, stay at home peacefully from now on."

Considering that Ye Yao had helped Ye Qiu before, Zhang Jingyi presented a gift: "This was obtained at the auction yesterday, nothing too expensive, don’t be embarrassed to accept it."

Ye Yao was flustered and, eventually, at Ye Qiu’s suggestion, accepted the gift and solemnly thanked her, "Thank you, Grandma."

Beside her, Ye Xingyan enviously scraped her plate loudly, then nervously apologized as everyone looked, "I was a bit distracted just now; I’ll be more careful in the future."

Afterwards, her face felt even hotter, secretly wondering if Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle would think she was behaving this way out of jealousy? Would they change their view of her in the future?

When she first joined the Ye Family, Grandma didn’t give her a gift, so why Ye Yao? They say it’s not a valuable item, but are there many cheap things at an auction? Moreover, would Grandma present it if it wasn’t valuable?

There was already one Eldest Lady in the Ye Family, so why did Ye Yao return? She was practically here to oppose her.

"Which school does Sister Ye Yao attend? Would you like to transfer to ours, so we can go to and from school together?" Ye Xingyan tried to change the subject and divert everyone’s attention.

"She should transfer schools, but, Xingyan, your school requires grades for transfer. Ye Yao, how are your grades?" Ye Bai asked.

At this moment, Shen Huiran suddenly let out a loud sneer.

"At the dinner table, both parents are here, what’s the matter with you?" Ye Bai reprimanded.

"Don’t transfer to Xingyan’s school; I’m afraid if she cheats on exams, it will embarrass Xingyan. Besides, the students at that school are from prominent families; if it causes us to be summoned by the school due to this, what would others think?" Shen Huiran said sarcastically.

"Cheat on exams?" Ye Bai frowned, "Why say that?"

"I visited her previous school; I heard it from other students."

"I didn’t." Ye Yao countered, desperately defending herself, "I didn’t cheat on exams."

Shen Huiran immediately got angry, glaring and saying, "If you didn’t cheat, would people say that? It makes me anxious just hearing it. Can grades be hidden forever? During the college entrance exam, your true colors will show. Or did you never plan to take the exam? Let me be clear, I won’t spend money for an dishonest child to study abroad."

"I didn’t cheat." Ye Yao reddened her eyes to uphold her name, "I don’t know why you accuse me, but I didn’t. You can ask my teachers or check my past grades."

"Sister Ye Yao, Mom is just worried you won’t study well; she’s concerned about you. Why are you speaking to her so loudly? It’ll make her upset." Ye Xingyan looked at Ye Yao accusingly, then softly comforted Shen Huiran, "Mom, maybe Sister Ye Yao is just trying to leave a good impression; we can discuss these things privately."

Ye Qiu was almost ready to applaud Ye Xingyan’s performance. Outwardly, she spoke on behalf of Ye Yao, expressing care for Shen Huiran—but she almost cemented the cheating allegations against Ye Yao. What a wonderful, considerate daughter!

Ye Qiu had now concluded that in past lives, Ye Yao’s breakdown wasn’t only due to Ye Bai and Shen Huiran’s indifference. It was also because of Ye Xingyan’s scheming, and she’s just a fifteen-year-old child, already so cunning. In previous lives, Ye Yao returned a few years later—no wonder she was crushed under her.

"How did my sister-in-law determine Ye Yao cheated on exams?" Ye Qiu turned to look at their family, unabashedly defending Ye Yao.

"I heard it from someone." Shen Huiran awkwardly replied.

"Heard from someone? Who did you hear it from?"

"Her classmates at school."

"What’s their name? What do they look like? Can sister-in-law say?"

Zhang Jingyi glanced at Ye Qiu because of his pressing questions but did not intervene.

"I..." Shen Huiran showed an awkward expression, unable to speak.

"So, did sister-in-law arbitrarily hear something and decide without proof to wrong her own daughter?"

Shen Huiran defended, "Would students lie?"

"But Ye Yao is also a student. She said she didn’t cheat; why do you assume she’s lying?"

Ye Qiu sneered, "My sister-in-law, I ask again: when did you hear this statement?"

Shen Huiran lowered her head silently, so Ye Qiu asked Ye Yao, "Ye Yao, tell me, have you been bullied at school? Did cheating incidents break out against you?"

"Yes, four years ago, our school had a random student number exam. A girl wanted me to let her copy my answers; I refused. Later, she told the teacher that I cheated. But the next day, after checking the surveillance, it was clarified that I didn’t cheat." Ye Yao said with a pale face, evidently realizing something.
