Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1414 - 1403: The Young Lord of the Prestigious Family

"Shi, I see you don’t want to be disturbed, so I’ll just say one thing: if you need any help, feel free to come to me, or you can ask other classmates too; everyone is friendly." After class, Ye Xingyan said this with a polite attitude.

Used to the attentiveness of previous female classmates, Shi Junmian’s face improved slightly when he encountered Ye Xingyan, who didn’t actively approach him, and he nodded slightly.

In the following days, Ye Xingyan indeed didn’t seek out Shi Junmian actively, but since they were desk mates, they still exchanged some words despite having nothing much to say. Now, Shi Junmian wasn’t as aloof as he had been when facing Ye Xingyan.

Ye Xingyan internally gestured victory. People like Shi Junmian seemed hard to approach, but once accepted as his own, the emotions would be exceptional. She was determined to succeed.

Besides, was there anyone more suitable for Shi Junmian than her?

Ye Xingyan was very confident in herself; she excelled in appearance, grades, and talents, but in one aspect, she wasn’t the Ye Family’s biological child.

However, Mom and Dad treated her even better than their biological daughter, which was indisputable. As long as Dad was in charge of the Ye Family’s power, no one would dare to underestimate her.

But a month later, if Shi Junmian learned the truth about her background, how would he view her? Thinking of this, Ye Xingyan pressed her lips tight.

"Are you not feeling well?" Shi Junmian showed rare concern.

"No, just thinking of something frustrating."

"What is it?"

Ye Xingyan paused. She felt that hiding wasn’t ideal; the key was to make Shi Junmian more sympathetic towards her.

"What do you think? If I weren’t part of the Ye Family, would everyone still like me as they do now?" she said softly.

"Does everyone’s liking you have much to do with your origins?" Shi Junmian frowned. "You’re great, don’t worry about those things."

"Really?" Ye Xingyan sighed gently, forcing a smile. "Thank you for comforting me."

Shi Junmian frowned; he sensed something was off with Ye Xingyan but didn’t know how to console her. Besides, their relationship didn’t seem close enough to be concerned about everything; he stood up irritably, calling out to male classmates he’d befriended these days to play ball.

A month passed quickly; Ye Bai was recently stripped of his duties by Ye Tang, so he had plenty of time to arrange the birthday party for his two daughters, though he didn’t seem particularly happy about it.

"Here are the invitations; if you two have friends to invite, send them out soon."

"Thanks, Dad." Ye Xingyan appeared a bit downcast. Who would want to expose their undesired background to classmates and friends? But she’d invited many people in the past; not inviting today might lead to gossip.

"Mom will accompany you that day." Shen Huiran affectionately touched her head, saying supportive words.

Ye Yao wasn’t jealous anymore; she had her uncle, and because of him, Grandpa and Grandma treated her very well. Perhaps she was destined to live without parental affection in this life!

She took some invitations, not many, as she hadn’t had time to make friends due to family reasons. She planned to invite only those she’d become close to over the past month at school.

"Yaoyao, there’s some money in this card. Find time to buy a couple of dress outfits." Since Ye Xingyan’s annual dresses were custom-made, Ye Bai almost forgot about Ye Yao needing this, but he remembered eventually.

"No need, Dad." Ye Yao refused, "Uncle has already prepared them for me."

Ye Bai was stunned; his expression seemed slightly unpleasant. His daughter didn’t care, yet his brother was more attentive than him, and he was somewhat annoyed, retracting the card. Since his daughter was closer to his brother, let her go then, as he, the father, didn’t have as much status at home as his second brother.

"Which designer’s dress did Uncle order for Sister Yao? Can I see it?" Ye Xingyan asked curiously.

"It hasn’t been delivered yet; you’ll see it at the dinner party."

"What about jewelry? I heard Uncle recently bid on a Pink Diamond necklace at an auction, surely for Sister Yao, right?" Ye Xingyan’s tone unconsciously carried jealousy. Over the years, she’d never received jewelry from Uncle, and Ye Yao had barely been there a few days, yet who knows how many gifts she received!

"That Pink Diamond necklace is beautiful, but is it too simple?" Zhang Jingyi commented, "After all, it’s her first introduction to everyone; it should be more elaborate to avoid revealing too much of Yaoyao."

After growing closer and because of Ye Qiu’s involvement, Zhang Jingyi now treated Ye Yao increasingly well. Firstly, because her son liked her, secondly, Ye Yao’s relations with Ye Bai and Shen Huiran were bad, and thirdly, Ye Yao had qualities she valued. It was a small effort, and helping was no big deal.

"I have a complete set of Violet Jade jewelry; I’ll lend it to you for that day. The pale purple color suits young girls like you."

Zhang Jingyi was actually lending Ye Yao her entire jewelry set? Getting into Zhang Jingyi’s eyes meant obtaining treasures. Her favorite things were Jade and diamonds, and her most precious collection apparently included a strand of Emerald necklace and bracelets worth over a billion. Though Violet was inferior to Emerald, it was still a rare gem, and she easily lent them to Ye Yao?

Ye Xingyan had just adjusted her mood but was now nearly mad with jealousy. Why was Ye Yao able to win their favor? If she wore Violet jewelry that day while she could only wear ordinary diamonds, wouldn’t people ridicule her even more?

"Grandma really is biased; I’m almost a bit jealous now!" she joked.

Zhang Jingyi glanced at her and Shen Huiran with lowered eyes: "Don’t you have your mom favoring you?"

But is that the same? Could her mom’s status in this house be compared to Grandma Zhang Jingyi’s? Dad was previously just an average wealthy man relying on Ye Family’s living expenses; though he gained more spending power upon joining, it was mere facade. She could freely buy bags and clothes, but could she casually splurge on expensive jewelry? Just buying one set would likely stretch Dad’s finances thin!

Meanwhile, Grandma Zhang Jingyi was showered with Grandpa’s affection. Not to mention lacking; every year Grandpa gifted her exclusively fine pieces. Even combined, Mom’s entire jewelry collection barely compared to one set from her.

Watching Ye Yao receive affection from Ye Qiu and Zhang Jingyi while Ye Xingyan had only her parents’ love, didn’t she feel wronged? Of course, she felt wronged, but her parents had no real standing in this home, let alone her?

Someday she would wash away today’s humiliation—wasn’t it just a set of precious jewelry? She would possess more in the future.
