Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1411 - 1400: The Prestigious Family’s Little Uncle

"Uncle, thank you! I will definitely pass the test." Ye Yao said excitedly.

"Hmm, it’s good to have confidence, but if you don’t pass, I’ll have to arrange for you to go to the same school as Ye Xingyan." Ye Qiu looked at her calmly, making Ye Yao tense up inside, vowing to herself that she must pass. She really didn’t want to be in the same place with Ye Xingyan, as the feeling Ye Xingyan gave her was always not very good.

"The exam is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. I’ll teach you something in the next two days."

"What?" Ye Yao was on high alert.

"Shopping."

Huh?

Ye Yao turned her head in confusion to look at Ye Qiu. Shopping? What does that mean?

"It’s just buying things. You are now the Eldest Lady of the Ye Family, so you must be very clear about one thing: the Ye Family is wealthy, so you must forget all your previous frugal habits. Buying things without restraint is the best way to boost one’s confidence." Ye Qiu said very seriously.

Ye Yao opened her mouth. Is that so? Isn’t frugality a virtue? How did it become a bad habit for her?

Don’t wealthy people need to be frugal? As it turns out, no. Ye Yao’s past life was too suppressive, too simple, and now entering the Ye Family’s environment is too restrained. If someone spends a lot, it really can enhance a person’s temperament, and she must get used to this lifestyle.

But letting Ye Yao go shopping alone, she’s afraid she’ll be timid, so Ye Qiu arranged a task today.

"This card has 200,000 yuan, and you must spend it all today. Remember, this 200,000 yuan can only buy things for yourself—not investments."

"200,000 yuan? Spend it all today?" Ye Yao retracted her hand in shock at the amount.

"Does it seem like a lot?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Hmm-hmm..." Ye Yao nodded vigorously.

"What’s so much about 200,000 yuan? It doesn’t even cover the cost of a bag Ye Xingyan buys. I even think I gave you too little; if I weren’t afraid of scaring you, I would have given you a million." Ye Qiu said.

Compared to a million, 200,000 yuan doesn’t seem like much?

Not much? She used to have only ten yuan a day as her living expense. Now letting her spend 200,000 yuan in a day, only for herself—how to spend?

"We’re heading out now; you can think about what to buy on the way. It’s actually quite simple: just randomly buy a couple of jewelry pieces or custom-made clothes and shoes, and it’s gone." Ye Qiu said.

"Uncle, I can buy gold, right?" Ye Yao thought and figured it was the most valuable option, then asked softly.

The driver, Uncle Li, smiled affectionately, thinking Ye Yao truly was worthy of the master’s attention, so simple and unsophisticated.

"Yes, but gold bars, which are investments, don’t count." Ye Qiu breathed out, feeling he might need to set a couple more rules tomorrow, but gold was still acceptable. Nowadays, many jewelry stores have good designs suitable for young girls—they wouldn’t be considered embarrassing to wear outside.

However, Ye Qiu underestimated Ye Yao. With Ye Yao being so stingy, how could she choose expensive craftsmanship jewelry? She picked those priced by weight, and under Ye Qiu’s intense gaze, chose a few youthful designs.

Gold jewelry isn’t cheap nowadays, and 200,000 yuan doesn’t actually go far. Ye Yao was still a bit disoriented after realizing she spent 200,000 yuan in just half a day.

This is 200,000 yuan, not ten yuan!

"Tomorrow you’ll continue, and I’ll give you 500,000 yuan, but you’re not allowed to buy gold, and you’ll follow the same rules as today. Think about what to buy." Ye Qiu snorted lightly, determined to cure her.

500,000 yuan?

Ye Yao’s eyes widened. Why must she shop again tomorrow, and the amount has doubled?

Ye Qiu saw through her thoughts and chuckled: "Not just tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow as well. It will continue until you get used to it."

Ye Yao hurriedly stopped: "Uncle, I have everything; there’s really no need for this. I swear, I will be confident in the future and won’t be cowardly like before."

"What’s so little about this amount? What are you heartbroken over? Your parents gave Qian Lan Ya ten million yuan, and even someone like her can spend ten million. As the proud Eldest Lady of the Ye Family, aren’t you deserving?"

"Yes, Ye Yao, the master likes you. You don’t have to feel sorry for him spending his money. In his lifetime, he could never spend all the money he has. You spending it is actually helping him. If you don’t spend, then Ye Xingyan will spend it. And she’s never felt sorry for spending the family’s money." Uncle Li also chimed in supportively.

"Did you hear that?" Ye Qiu spread his hands. "Money is meant to be spent. As long as you don’t break the law, and as long as you don’t gamble, spend my money as you please."

Ye Yao once heard a joke that saying the happiest thing in the world is when a guy tells a girl to spend his money freely. She never dared to hope anyone would say this to her, but Uncle spoiled her to the heavens. At this moment, she felt like she might be the happiest girl in the world!

When Ye Xingyun came home from school, she noticed Ye Yao seemed to be more intimate with Uncle. She wanted to ask but didn’t dare.

She had made many attempts to win him over but never received even a glance from Uncle. Yet what did Ye Yao do? Why did she so easily gain Uncle’s favor?

She knew clearly that in this household, no matter how much love from dad and mom, it couldn’t compare to Uncle’s slight favor. Uncle was the pinnacle in this household.

So, ever since she moved into this house, she tried her best to please him, but four years of effort couldn’t compare to Uncle’s casual mood.

However, she believed Uncle’s favor towards Ye Yao wasn’t genuine; he intended to support Ye Yao to counter their family, warn them, and maintain his authority in this household.

After all, once grandpa passes, Uncle will have no one to rely on. What does this mean? It means Uncle fears their family and will eventually depend on them.

Ye Xingyan secretly rejoiced, even looking down on Uncle’s tactics, and wondered how Ye Yao could be raised so easily?

Yet as long as grandpa is in charge, they’ll have to listen to Uncle. If something ever happened to grandpa, dad would be the only one able to take over the company. Then...

Ye Xingyan dreamed big, but Ye Tang always had bodyguards, and regular health checks every half-year showed no issues, leaving no room for accidents. What chance of an accident was there?

Then what if something happened to Uncle?

No, Ye Xingyan shook her head, thinking grandma Zhang Jingyi and Grandpa would go mad if something happened to Uncle; they might even dissolve the company. It was truly troublesome to think about waiting, waiting until grandpa died of old age? How long would that take?

Ye Xingyan became troubled, knowing neither grandpa nor Uncle would face easily occurring issues. For her family to break free of control and indignation, the first option was for dad to be ambitious and take hold of the company’s reins; secondly, she could make herself capable. What if she had support from a bigger financial group?
