Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1431 - 1420: The Young Master of the Prestigious Family

"Jun Mian, it’s okay, this is all human nature." Ye Xingyan smiled as if she didn’t care, but the desolation in her eyes deeply pained Shi Junmian.
"Xingyan." Shi Junmian held her hand, and Ye Xingyan leaned into his embrace.
Shi Junmian grew more tender and asked, "I recently heard someone say you were going to a budget studio. What’s going on?"
"Just picking up a dress, what else?"
Shi Junmian frowned even more deeply, "You’ve never been..."
Ye Xingyan interrupted him, "Things are different now. Our family was kicked out by Grandpa and them. Dad is a bit strapped for cash. Junmian, it’s okay, this is just temporary. And although that studio isn’t well-known, their design and materials are quite good. You don’t need to feel sorry for me."
"But you deserve the best. If your grandpa and uncle could be so ruthless and uncaring, it’s fine, you still have me. I’ll buy you the best dress of the season." Shi Junmian, who initially seemed cold and aloof, had no such demeanor when it came to Ye Xingyan alone.
Ye Xingyan was both moved and proud, but she couldn’t accept the dress, so she refused, "Junmian, if I wear the most luxurious dress while my mom can only wear something ordinary, what will people think of me? Also, I don’t want to be your dependent. I want everyone to know that even though I’m temporarily in trouble now, my confidence and pride won’t be defeated."
"What should I say to you? Why work so hard?" Shi Junmian felt unbearable heartache but didn’t insist further. He gently kissed Ye Xingyan’s forehead, his eyes full of tenderness.
Perhaps sensing his deep love, Ye Xingyan was slightly moved. She wrapped her arms around Shi Junmian’s neck, raised her chin slightly, and took the initiative to kiss his lips.
Before, in order to show respect for Ye Xingyan, Shi Junmian only held hands, hugged, or kissed her forehead at most, even after they confirmed their relationship.
But today, Ye Xingyan’s initiative was different. Shi Junmian, being naturally assertive, and in his youth, had little resistance to this kind of intimacy and responded passionately.
Both of them were first-timers, a bit clumsy at first, but being quick learners, they gradually got the hang of it, immersed in the moment until Shi Junmian instinctively placed his hands on Ye Xingyan’s lower back and chest. Only then did Ye Xingyan wake up in surprise, hastily ending the kiss.
She panted slightly, leaning against Shi Junmian’s chest, murmuring, "Junmian, we’re still minors, we can’t do this anymore."
"I’m sorry." Shi Junmian said hoarsely, "I couldn’t hold back."
Ye Xingyan blushed deeply, embarrassed, "If anyone should apologize, it’s me. I initiated it."
"I’ll be more mindful of boundaries in the future." Shi Junmian’s eyes burned as he leaned closer to her ear, "But for now, can you give me another kiss?"
Ye Xingyan said nothing, but lifted her head again and gently closed her eyes.
The Ye Family’s annual gala was always grand, but this year it seemed particularly unusual. Not only were the employees’ year-end bonuses increased, but the prizes and awards at the party were more than triple those of previous years. Although the Ye Family indeed made a lot of money this year, employees knew it was all because the president’s youngest son had finally recovered.
Gazing at the elegant young man on stage, the employees couldn’t help but admire him. Even the currently popular stars in the entertainment industry couldn’t compare to their Manager Ye.
At this moment, the employees seemed to have forgotten there was once a Ye Bai, as applause thundered for Ye Qiu’s articulate speech on stage.
"I didn’t expect the president’s youngest son to be so remarkable. I remember it was the young master who negotiated the deal with the Liang Family in October, right?" The directors spoke to Ye Tang with satisfaction in their tone towards Ye Qiu.
Ye Tang smiled deeply, raising his glass to the crowd, "What’s this about the youngest son or young master? He’s my only heir now. In the future, you uncles should take good care of him."
The crowd’s smiles didn’t change, but they clearly heard the message: the Ye Family would only belong to Ye Qiu. Ye Tang seemingly didn’t even want to acknowledge Ye Bai as a son.
The crowd couldn’t help but lament for Ye Bai, but indeed, Ye Qiu was much more outstanding. It took Ye Bai a year to familiarize himself with the company’s basic processes and gradually take over business, but Ye Qiu achieved such an important deal shortly after joining. This showed the talent difference between the two.
They even saw a leadership and convincing ability in Ye Qiu that Ye Bai lacked. Previously, they worried about Ye Qiu’s leg disability, fearing he’d fall into the same slump as before. But seeing him stand and walk on his own today, their doubts were completely dispelled.
Ye Yao listened to the company’s staff praising and adoring her little uncle, showing an extremely proud expression.
Today, Ye Bai’s family was also present, receiving an unprecedented cold reception compared to the support of past years. Even colleagues who once worked with Ye Bai avoided eye contact and didn’t even greet.
"These opportunists." Shen Huiran trembled with anger, "One day they will regret it."
After returning to the Ye Family, everywhere Shen Huiran went she was treated like a queen. She adapted from initial apprehension to later acceptance in less than half a month, becoming accustomed to such glamorous days. She thought that even if this time wouldn’t be as enthusiastic as before, at least they’d get a polite greeting or toast.
Unexpectedly, everyone was so realistic, avoiding their family as much as they could.
"Mom, don’t get angry, stay dignified, don’t let people laugh. Even if we’ve moved out of the Ye Family, we’re still part of them. They are just employees, how arrogant can they be?" Ye Xingyan whispered to Shen Huiran.
"You’re right." Shen Huiran calmed her emotions, "But I’ll remember these faces, and next time we come, I’ll fire them one by one."
Ye Bai sternly admonished, "Lower your voice, afraid others don’t know we have other intentions?"
Shen Huiran sneered, "Look around us. Does anyone dare come up and greet us? They can’t wait to brown-nose Ye Qiu and your daughter!"
Following her gaze, Ye Bai and Ye Xingyan looked ahead, seeing Ye Yao in a custom dress, adorned with expensive jewelry, chatting and laughing with several noble ladies and eldest daughters, with no intention of greeting her parents.
