Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1420 - 1409: The Little Uncle of the Wealthy Family
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
Ye Tang and Zhang Jingyi were genuinely grateful to Ye Yao this time. They never imagined that Ye Qiu, whose fate had been determined by all famous doctors, could stand up again. And all this was because of the old Chinese doctor Ye Yao had found.
Perhaps it’s like her son said, her son and Ye Yao were destined. Since meeting her, everything has been getting better and better.
"Child, if you need anything in the future, just tell Grandma. From now on, not only will your uncle protect you, but Grandpa and Grandma will too." This was the first time Zhang Jingyi referred to herself this way, whereas before, even when Ye Xingyan would sweet talk her, she would only occasionally agree, never showing such heartfelt gratitude and affection as she did now towards Ye Yao.
Ye Tang is the Sect Leader of the Ye Family, and Zhang Jingyi holds half of the shares. With their protection, Ye Yao could almost walk fearlessly in this city.
However, Ye Yao was a bit embarrassed; she felt she had just done what she should have, and she was just a middleman. The one who truly healed the uncle was Grandpa Hong.
"Grandma, Uncle has already been good enough to me. I don’t need anything, and you don’t have to do this. We all just hope Uncle gets better." She said tactfully, refusing.
"Good child." Zhang Jingyi lovingly patted her head, her eyes tender, "Although you want nothing, I must express something. A young girl should still have some possessions."
Zhang Jingyi clearly had a plan in mind, leaving Ye Yao no room to decline. She looked at Grandpa Ye Tang, noticing him nodding approvingly at her, which made her even more uneasy. She really didn’t intend to want anything.
The thoughts of the two adults were entirely focused on Ye Qiu, and with Ye Yao concealing her emotions well, they didn’t notice any difference. However, the perceptive Ye Qiu noticed, and with a bit of thinking, he knew what was happening.
"Did my dad and mom decide to give you something to show gratitude, but you don’t want it because you feel it’s what you should do?" He asked with amusement.
"Yes." Ye Yao nodded, "Uncle, I sincerely just want you to get better, without wanting any benefit from it."
"Uncle knows." Ye Qiu pulled her arm to sit beside him, tilting his head to look at her, "We can all see your intention, but my dad and mom are simply too happy. These years, they truly suffered a lot for me, especially for these legs, consuming countless funds and connections. If they found out before the recovery that there was a way to heal, do you believe they’d abandon everything they own for it?"
This Ye Yao believed. Although not long in this family, she was well aware of the uncle’s position in Grandpa and Grandma’s heart, so she nodded.
"It’s precisely because they don’t treat you as an outsider and see you as family that they’re just giving a little something to express it. Our family is large and prosperous, how could you become anxious over a little gift?"
Ye Yao scratched her head, "I’m not anxious; I just feel that you’re my uncle, and helping you is what I should do. How could I accept a reward for it?"
Ye Qiu countered, "But you’re still our junior. Isn’t it quite normal for elders to give juniors some things?"
"But you’ve already given enough before! Grandma said the Purple Jade jewelry set was already a gift for me, and now again, I’m still so young!"
"Unlike you, who wants to reject more gifts. As I just said, our family is wealthy, this isn’t much."
"But I see Mom and Dad seem to be in a tight spot." Ye Yao hesitantly said.
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, "Did they say this to you personally?"
"No, just last time when apparently a tailoring studio came for payment for sister’s custom clothing, I overheard Mom complain."
"Be more mindful, they said it on purpose for you to hear."
Ye Yao was stunned, "Why say it purposely for me to hear? I can’t help them with anything."
"How can you not help? Although your dad is supposedly helping your grandpa manage the company, isn’t the actual company practically yours? Even if my legs never recover, as long as I wish, the company will always belong to me. Do you feel this is unfair to your dad?"
Ye Yao earnestly shook her head. Although her dad and uncle are both Grandpa’s children, she knows the dad will never measure up to the uncle. To put it bluntly, her dad was an unexpected birth, while the uncle was born and raised with Grandpa’s expectations, naturally creating different bonds.
Even for her, the uncle holds a different place in her heart. Perhaps since knowing that Mom deliberately wouldn’t recognize her return, but Dad showed no intention, her expectations for her parents faded. After all, they didn’t grow up together, so where was the feeling?
However, it was different with the uncle. Since entering this home, the uncle’s protection of her remained unconditional. Growing up, she only felt kinship on the uncle’s side, experiencing the actual sense of being protected.
Because of the uncle’s kindness, she wanted to try and see if she could help him, and unexpectedly, this try succeeded, gaining two more protective umbrellas in this home.
To speak ungratefully, her parents at most just brought her into this world, even their compensatory-like upbringing now uses Grandpa’s money, doesn’t it?
So when the uncle says Mom said it for her to hear on purpose, she believes it, because she’s favored by the uncle after all. If Mom schemes against her, isn’t it like scheming against the uncle?
"Uncle, what should I do?" she asked angrily. Not considering recognizing her in the past, now they think of her, and don’t Grandpa, Grandma, and uncle already give them enough? Why pull some little tricks? Just as the uncle mentioned, if he wishes, her parents could instantly end up with nothing.
"You are just a child, studying only, how could you pick up adult hints? Just focus on learning." Ye Qiu comforted, merely wanting Ye Yao to have a bottom line, not placing too much hope on Ye Bai and Shen Huiran, and not wanting her to overthink. A child should have a child’s demeanor.
Ye Yao understood Ye Qiu’s meaning and smiled brightly, "Uncle, I understand."
"Go play, have a good time with classmates over the weekend. Uncle will start rehabilitation soon, probably won’t have much time to accompany you, don’t save on him."
"Uncle, I got it." Ye Yao cheerfully opened the door but found Ye Xingyan standing in a daze not far away. She wasn’t worried Ye Xingyan overheard; the soundproofing in the house was excellent, unlike Mom’s initial scare tactics.
Ye Yao usually had nothing to say to Ye Xingyan. She was ready to bypass her, but Ye Xingyan stopped her; however, seeing her expression, she seemed unprepared to say something, which made Ye Yao somewhat impatient.
