Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1427 - 1416: The Prestigious Family’s Little Uncle

However, Ye Xingyan soon found herself unable to smile, because despite Shen Huiran feeling sorry for her, she couldn’t bring herself to ask her daughter to sell jewelry, an act that would be losing face. Instead, she set her sights on Ye Xingyan’s biological mother.

"Now, there is another way." Shen Huiran said thoughtfully.

"Mom, who else can help us?"

"Qian Lan Ya."

"Who?" So much time had passed that Ye Xingyan could barely remember the name.

Shen Huiran looked at her with deep eyes: "Qian Lan Ya, she is your biological mother. Back then, to keep you with us, your dad and I gave her ten million. She is your real mom. Since she was willing to switch babies for your future back then, she’ll surely help you now."

Ye Xingyan’s heart raced, filled with a reluctance to refuse: "Mom, I never lived with her. I have no emotional connection with her."

"It’s enough that she cares about you. We’re not asking for that ten million from her, just as a temporary loan for our family. Your dad’s company needs money for turnover, just consider it as helping your dad."

With that, Ye Bai’s gaze also turned, eyes earnest: "Xingyan, these years your mom and I have treated you pretty well, haven’t we? Now is the time for you to repay us. In the future, Dad will repay you double for this money. Or do you want to be overshadowed by Ye Yao?"

"I don’t want that." Ye Xingyan instinctively replied, her face turning pale.

Ye Bai seemed not to notice and lightly patted her shoulder, nodding: "Then this matter is up to you. You’ve always been the most trusted and beloved child of mom and dad. Dad believes you can do it."

If Ye Xingyan said she might not be able to accomplish it, she would be betraying the years of teaching and love they’ve given her. How would they treat her in the future? Ye Bai didn’t care if he would be able to return to the Ye Family, at least he still had the company and those connections. She couldn’t tear faces like this; not only would she lose these things, but if word got out, she’d be seen as ungrateful, and her reputation would be ruined.

So she could only harden her face and agree, but where would she find the confidence? Was her biological mom really acting for her good? If she truly loved her, why would she sever their relationship for ten million?

Qian Lan Ya wasn’t meeting her biological daughter for the first time, but it was indeed the first time she observed her so closely. She smiled and admired her, secretly thinking how she indeed lived up to being her daughter, clearly more beautiful than Shen Huiran’s daughter.

"Xingyan, did you come just to see mom? Does Shen Huiran know? Will she take it out on you?" Qian Lan Ya asked with concern, her tone extremely gentle, entirely unlike the acrid harshness she once showed Ye Yao.

"Mom, she knows." Ye Xingyan didn’t know how to communicate with her, feeling particularly awkward and unable to find words to say.

"She knows? Didn’t expect her to be this magnanimous." Qian Lan Ya pursed her lips, then asked, "How are you doing now? Has Zhao Yao, or rather Ye Yao, troubled you after going back?"

Ye Xingyan’s eyes flickered, then she lowered her head and softly spoke: "It’s actually because of her that I’m here."

"What’s the matter? Did she really bully you?" Qian Lan Ya was furious, looking ready to confront Ye Yao, acting as if she were some big deal.

"It’s not exactly her bullying me. After she returned home, she got along well with Uncle, but Uncle has grown more and more displeased with me, even recently driving me and Mom and Dad out of the Ye Family."

"She has that much power?" Qian Lan Ya’s eyes widened, "Isn’t your dad the son of the Ye Family CEO? Aren’t you the Ye Family heir?"

"Grandpa favors Uncle more," Ye Xingyan spoke half the truth, leaving the rest to speculation.

Qian Lan Ya listened, increasingly angry: "So, big households do favor one over another, really unreasonable. That Ye Yao, the dead girl, truly knows how to play along with the wind. Never saw her being so scheming before. So Ye Yao is estranged from your mom and dad now?"

"Yes, when we left the main residence, she didn’t even see us off."

Qian Lan Ya cursed: "I knew she was an ingrate. All this time, she hasn’t come back to see me. Truly, she has gotten a big heart."

Seeing her act justified made Ye Xingyan frown. No matter how unwilling, Ye Xingyan knew it was her biological mother who ruined Ye Yao’s early life, what right did she have to call Ye Yao ungrateful?

Thinking of this kind of person as her biological mom made her uncomfortable, but she inevitably had to rely on her now, forced to sit down, continue listening, and agree.

"Now she’s protected by Uncle, we have no way." Ye Xingyan whispered, then took a deep breath, finally uttering the difficult address, "Mom, I actually have something to ask of you."

"What is it? Want me to help teach Ye Yao a lesson?" Qian Lan Ya frowned, "Unfortunately, I can’t reach that dead girl now. Why don’t you bring me over?"

"It’s not that." Ye Xingyan mustered her courage, "Mom, can you lend me some money?"

"Borrow money?" Qian Lan Ya’s voice rose, "Shen Huiran is actually treating you harshly? I knew she wasn’t sincere about having you over, even being stingy with a child’s pocket money. Add mom’s WeChat, I’ll transfer ten thousand to you."

Ten thousand? Ye Xingyan pursed her lips, what could ten thousand do? Truly petty.

She had to speak again: "Mom, didn’t my mom and dad give you ten million before? Could you lend it to me temporarily? I promise I’ll pay you back."

Ten million? Qian Lan Ya was startled by the amount, barely avoiding another outburst.

Her expression grew difficult: "You need that much money for what?"

Seeing Ye Xingyan’s unsightly face, she gently said: "It’s not that mom doesn’t want to give it, but she doesn’t have that much on hand either. You’re just a child, holding that much money is unsafe. If you need pocket money, mom can give you some, isn’t ten thousand enough? How about twenty thousand? Your brother wanted to buy some Lego not long ago, and I didn’t agree!"

Twenty thousand? It was like dismissing a beggar! Ye Xingyan was irritated, compared to some brother she hadn’t even met? She used to spend far more than that casually shopping, who would want to ask for money if not for dad’s request?

"Mom, to be honest, it’s actually because Dad’s company recently faced some turnover issues, but they don’t dare tell Grandpa, fearing Uncle would seize the chance to strip Dad of his managerial rights. So, it’s my parents who want to borrow it, truly only for temporary turnover, it’ll be repaid soon." Ye Xingyan didn’t want to drag things on, so bluntly revealed the truth.

Qian Lan Ya hesitated: "I’ll have to discuss this with your dad."

Ye Xingyan frowned urging: "Make it quick, mom, you wouldn’t want me to suffer, right? In the future, I promise to repay you with gratitude and filial care."
