Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1410 - 1399: The Young Master of the Prestigious Family
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
"Son, in this family, you can do whatever you want." Ye Tang smiled as he looked at Ye Qiu. Although Ye Bai was also his son, everyone knew well that he would address Ye Qiu this way, and when it came to Ye Bai, he always called him by his name.
Ye Tang was just that partial, but who could say anything about it? Everything Ye Bai had was given by him. If he hadn’t considered Ye Qiu back then, Ye Bai would have never had a chance to step into the Ye Family Mansion in his lifetime.
Does Ye Bai not hate this? Is he not angry? Of course, that’s impossible. Previously, when he resigned to fate, he might not have had any other thoughts, but after understanding the power dynamics of the past four years, he could no longer approach things with a calm mind.
Clearly, he was also his father’s son, and he was even born much earlier than Ye Qiu. Why, in his father’s heart, couldn’t he compare to even a single hair of Ye Qiu?
But did he dare to refute this? Did he have the power to fight back?
He didn’t dare, nor did he have it, so he could only accept it obediently.
"I understand. A month from now, at Xingyan and Ye Yao’s birthday banquet, I will make the arrangements, and introduce Ye Yao’s identity with formality." He pondered for a moment before speaking.
Ye Qiu exchanged a glance with Ye Yao, then smiled lightly and said, "Then I’ll trouble you, big brother."
"Ye Yao is also my daughter, this is what I should do."
The breakfast table returned to calm, but both Ye Xingyan and Shen Huiran were unable to be happy, their expressions equally frustrated, looking quite like real mother and daughter.
What surprised Ye Qiu was Ye Xingyun. Logically, Ye Xingyun was already ten years old and not at an age where he would understand nothing, but ever since Ye Yao returned, he neither expressed dissatisfaction nor welcomed her particularly, as if this whole uproar was irrelevant to him, and he continued eating, drinking, and playing as usual.
Ye Qiu remembered in the past life, even after Ye Xingyan’s high marriage, Ye Xingyun never had a particularly good relationship with Ye Xingyan, and shortly after Ye Yao’s incident, he went abroad and never returned.
This little Fatty likely also suffered at Ye Xingyan’s hands. A biological son wasn’t as cherished as an adopted daughter—saying it was laughable, yet at the same time, he cared for Ye Yao, his biological sister, albeit not deeply, as it should be. Even empathizing, he thought there was no point staying in the Ye Family, which led him to escape.
After breakfast, Ye Tang and Ye Bai went to the company, while Shen Huiran seemed to want to comfort her daughter, so she personally drove Ye Xingyan to school, and Ye Xingyun was taken by the driver. Soon, the large dining room was left with only Zhang Jingyi, Ye Qiu, and Ye Yao.
"I’m going to the Flower House, Qiu’er, don’t forget your rehab time." Zhang Jingyi stood up, leaving the space for Ye Qiu and Ye Yao. Although she didn’t know why her son was so kind to a niece who had just been found, if it was out of gratitude for previous help, it seemed a bit forced, but there was no need to question her son’s actions too deeply as long as he was happy.
With only Ye Qiu and Ye Yao left in the dining room, he gave her a gentle smile, "By speaking up to help, your parents might have opinions and think I’m meddling, don’t you think?"
"Not at all." Ye Yao shook her head quickly and looked at Ye Qiu with shyness and gratitude, "Even without Uncle helping me, my parents wouldn’t necessarily like me."
"Doesn’t that make you feel regret? After all, children all want their parents."
"The regret from before has been consumed completely on the other side. Comparatively, they’re already much better to me than Qian Lan Ya was. At least they didn’t hit me or stop me from studying."
Little girls, it’s impossible not to feel sad. After finally finding her biological parents, thinking she would experience paternal and maternal love, she found out that aside from material comfort, it wasn’t much different from before. How could she not be upset?
But after being saddened many times, her heart became a bit stronger. Moreover, without paternal or maternal love, hadn’t she received love from her uncle?
She only supported her uncle on her way to school, and he has been so kind to her. She was already surprised and grateful!
"Uncle, I’m not sad. It’s something you get used to, and besides, don’t I have you to pamper and support me?" Ye Yao smiled playfully, hard to imagine she had endured substantial hurt before, being framed and abandoned by her own biological mother. How strong must her mental fortitude be?
Who is bad from birth? It’s the environment that changes people. In her past life, no one stood by Ye Yao’s side, whether it was before or after her identity was revealed. All she faced was grievance and silent treatment. It was under such long-term environmental influence that she made a series of wrong choices.
But how many people in this world can remain pure-hearted after experiencing all this? Even Ye Qiu couldn’t; he might not do extreme things like Ye Yao, but he would strive to improve and ultimately make those who were unkind or looked down on him regretful, and only when those people lived less well than him would he feel satisfied.
"Yes, you’re right, in this family, I will support you for justice. No matter what you do or who you face, just remember that I stand behind you, and there’s no need to be afraid of anyone. Go ahead and fight back. Don’t mind my legs being unable to move; I still have some influence in this family."
Ye Qiu encouraged her, not at all worried about leading the child astray.
However, what Ye Yao focused on wasn’t this, and she asked with a frown of concern, "Uncle, how long have your legs been injured? Is there no way to treat them quickly?"
"It’s been four years now. The doctor said the hope is minimal." Ye Qiu smiled indifferently, "I used to be depressed, but I’ve come to terms with it. Don’t overthink it."
Ye Yao didn’t speak; she was clearly saddened for Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu changed the subject, "I’ve asked around and your grades at school are very good, so I’m not worried about your learning progress. I’ve given you leave for the next few days."
"Leave? Why? Uncle, do you want to transfer me to another school? It’s not necessary; though it’s a bit far, it’s very convenient by subway now."
"I know you’re attached to your classmates, but it’s still too far. However, I don’t plan to send you to the same school as Ye Xingyan."
With Ye Qiu’s words, Ye Yao was less resistant. Maybe she was being petty, but she couldn’t bring herself to like Ye Xingyan and didn’t want to be in the same school, commuting together, or even be compared with her.
"The school you attended before didn’t have very good faculty, so I’ve arranged for you to attend Experimental Middle School. However, to enroll, you’ll need to pass a test."
"Experimental Middle School?" Ye Yao’s eyes lit up. There’s no student who loves studying who wouldn’t want to study there. She was actually accepted by Experimental Middle School before, but Qian Lan Ya didn’t want her to be too far and waste time on household chores, nor did she want to spend daily transportation expenses, so Ye Yao was forced to enroll in the nearest school.
