Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1408 - 1397: The Young Master of the Prestigious Family

Ye Yao was exposed for cheating in exams four years ago. Ever since it was clarified, and she advanced a grade, no one brought it up again. Shen Huiran said she heard students mention it, so that must have been four years ago. It means she knew four years ago that Ye Yao was her biological daughter.

Ye Yao obviously thought of this, which is why her face suddenly turned pale. She wondered, so Mom already knew I was her biological daughter four years ago, then why didn’t she acknowledge me?

Yes, yesterday I seemed to have heard that it was discovered during a health check by Uncle, so was she forced to take me back? If Uncle hadn’t discovered it, would Mom never have recognized me?

She smiled bitterly; no wonder since yesterday when she came to get me, up until today, Mom hasn’t given me a good look. In Mom’s heart, I’m guessing the only daughter is Ye Xingyan!

She’s just the excess; she’s the one who came in to disrupt their mother-daughter life!

This year, I’m only fifteen years old, why do I have to endure so much? My adoptive mother didn’t like me; she made me do all the chores, at worst hitting and scolding. I had to study in secret, but as for Ye Xingyan, her biological mother would do illegal things for her, and her adoptive mother raised her in her hand like a precious gem. Clearly, I’m the real Eldest Lady of the Ye Family. Why does she live better than me? Why do I have to suffer all kinds of insults?

Upon hearing some slanderous words from classmates who didn’t get along with her, even without verifying, they sentenced her. That was truly her biological mother!

"Mom, do you not want me to come back? If you hate me so much, why did you take me back yesterday?" She lowered her head and spoke softly, her words devoid of any emotion, which made Shen Huiran’s face even more tense.

"Ye Yao, how can you talk to your mother like that? You’re the biological daughter of your mom and dad. If you don’t come back, where will you go?" Ye Bai defended his wife’s stern face.

"Then why did you choose to pretend not to know four years ago?"

"Your mom was just heartbroken because she had heard rumors."

"So just one word from others is enough to sentence me to death?" Ye Yao raised her head, looking expressionless at Ye Bai.

Because Ye Tang, Zhang Jingyi, and Ye Qiu were present, Ye Bai felt humiliated and scolded her quietly: "We elders have our considerations. Didn’t we bring you back?"

"Because Uncle found anomalies, you were forced to take me back, right!"

"You... is this how you’re allowed to talk to your elders? I know your mom has wronged you before. We’ll try to make up for it in the future. Why are you so aggressive about this? She is your own mother!"

Ye Yao stayed silent; no matter how right her reasons were, as a fifteen-year-old girl who couldn’t even be independent, what qualifications did she have to argue with her parents? If she talked too much, it would be blamed on her poor upbringing.

Oh, her upbringing? In her fifteen years, who taught her? None of them knew how much hardship she had endured.

"I think Xiao Yao asked a reasonable question; why are you so agitated, Big Brother?" Ye Qiu suddenly interjected at this point, looking at Ye Bai and Shen Huiran, saying, "It’s indeed Elder Sister-in-law’s fault. What’s so wrong about admitting it?"

"Second Brother, this has nothing to do with you." Ye Bai said, holding back.

Ye Tang and Zhang Jingyi paused their actions of eating, exchanging a glance inadvertently.

"Ye Yao is my niece, and it’s only because of my discovery that she came back. Isn’t it right for me to speak fairly? Elder Sister-in-law clearly knew her biological daughter was out there four years ago. Why not take her back? Could Elder Sister-in-law explain?" Ye Qiu didn’t back down, his gaze somewhat confrontational.

After all, before marrying Ye Bai, she was living a leisurely life as a wealthy wife. And it was only four years ago that she truly took residence in the Ye Family estate. Shen Huiran was at a disadvantage facing Ye Qiu, her heart beating erratically under his gaze, feeling extremely uneasy.

After a while, seeing her only avoiding eye contact, Ye Qiu sneered: "If you don’t even dare to say why you didn’t acknowledge her, then what right do you have to accuse Ye Yao? Giving her life doesn’t mean you can control her entire life; even the law states that parents have responsibilities towards their children, once born they must be cared for, not just saying whatever you like."

"Second Brother, your Sister-in-law was just temporarily confused." Ye Bai said quietly, looking quite annoyed at Ye Qiu’s meddlesomeness.

"Temporarily confused? Then why yesterday too? Daring to ask, how did you handle Ye Xingyan’s biological mother, Qian Lan Ya?" Ye Qiu sneered again, showing disdain for their actions.

"What can we do? It’s been so long since that incident, and there’s no evidence." Ye Bai muttered, his demeanor reminiscent of the usually quiet Ye Yao.

"So just because it’s been so long it doesn’t matter? Big Brother, you seem to dismiss our country’s police too lightly. Also, not talking about changing the children, what about the abuse Ye Yao suffered? You’re not going to handle it either?"

"She wasn’t seriously harmed." Shen Huiran muttered.

Ye Yao listened, her hands shaking with anger; ’not seriously harmed,’ she thought, how casually she said it!

"Ye Yao, tell us, how did Ye Xingyan’s biological mother treat you over these years?"

Under Ye Qiu’s gentle gaze, Ye Yao slowly recounted: "She didn’t like me from the start. From the moment I was able to do chores, all the household tasks were mine. If she wasn’t satisfied somewhere, she would beat or scold me, sometimes even starving me and kicking me out of the house. Often, it was the two elderly ladies downstairs who pitied me and gave me water to drink. Also, she didn’t like me doing well academically, not allowing me to do my homework at home. If she was upset about something outside, my days would be even worse. The neighbors can all attest to this; I often had injuries."

"Did you hear that? Your biological daughter suffered so much, and you didn’t pursue it? Yet, you show favor to the perpetrator’s daughter? You lament for others’ daughters, but others never cared for yours!" Ye Qiu remarked with unhidden sarcasm.

Ye Xingyan was restless at this moment; why did Uncle always say ’her biological mother’ when referring to that daughter? She didn’t even know her to do such things. What did it have to do with her?

"Xingyan is innocent. I dote on Xingyan naturally because she deserves it. Besides, it’s normal for Qian Lan Ya, raising a child alone, to have difficulties in life; I... I understand her." Shen Huiran said evasively.

"Understand?" Ye Qiu scoffed. "Why don’t you understand your biological daughter then? Your understanding of her actions is not only on the basis of her abusing your daughter without calling the police, but you even gave her a million?"
