Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1435 - 1424: The Prestigious Young Uncle

"My mom isn’t your grandma, don’t call her that!"

Hearing this cold warning-like sentence, Ye Xingyan was startled, thinking she had misheard it, until she looked up and saw Ye Qiu’s icy gaze again, she was taken aback.

Nervously, she asked, "Uncle, why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?"

"You really don’t know?" Ye Qiu stared into her eyes, "Yesterday, I almost couldn’t come back, almost got kidnapped like before, do you know who did it?"

Ye Xingyan opened her mouth wide and then bowed her head, furrowing her brow, angrily saying, "Uncle, is what you’re saying true? Who would be so bold? Have the police caught the culprit?"

"Playing dumb?" Ye Qiu sneered, not only Ye Xingyan, but Ye Bai and Shen Huiran were terrified too. They never expected Zhao Pengfei’s people to be so useless, wasn’t it supposed to be foolproof? Now Ye Qiu was not only here in perfect condition, but without a single scratch, were they deceived?

"Uncle, I don’t understand. Why do I feel like it’s somehow related to me? I’m just a student, and I’ve admired you for so long, how could I possibly have the ability to do such a thing?" Ye Xingyan looked so wronged, she was about to cry, feeling extremely helpless.

Shen Huiran, possibly out of sympathy or guilt, stepped forward to defend, "Second brother, can’t you discuss things calmly? Why scare the child? And if this is truly related to Xingyan, the police would have come to inquire already."

"Discuss calmly? The one who wants to silence me is her father!" Ye Qiu said, glancing meaningfully at Ye Bai.

Ye Bai was shocked, almost thinking he was being accused, but quickly realizing that if Ye Qiu truly knew he was behind it, he wouldn’t be standing here talking like this, even dad would not spare him. The most likely scenario is that Zhao Pengfei was exposed.

But how could Zhao Pengfei be exposed? If Zhao Pengfei named him, what would he do? Even if there’s no evidence proving he instigated it, as long as there’s this suspicion, it would be enough to fuel dad’s distrust and hatred towards him.

"Uncle, my dad has always respected you and grandfather. Back then, he entered the Ye Family to learn and work, enduring hardships for your and grandfather’s sake. Later, when you recovered, he left as you requested. How could he do anything against you?" Ye Xingyan, skilled in talking, quickly highlighted Ye Bai’s hardships and the coldness of Ye Qiu and Ye Tang without mentioning her real father.

"Haven’t I given you enough?" Ye Tang suddenly spoke, his sharp gaze fixed on Ye Bai.

Ye Bai hurriedly replied, "Not at all, dad has already been good enough to me."

But Ye Tang’s expression grew darker: "Then why does your adopted daughter look so dissatisfied with me? Isn’t it your and your wife’s teachings?"

Ye Bai was shocked: "Dad, that’s not what Xingyan meant, she’s just a child feeling sorry for me as her father."

Ye Tang continued, "I was indeed reckless when I was young, but your mom made the choice willingly. When she was with me, I clearly stated I wouldn’t marry her, yet she resolutely decided to have you. I gave her severance pay and sufficient child support. I believe I owe you and your mother nothing. My other illegitimate daughters haven’t received as much as you."

Ye Bai almost kneeled in repentance, never expecting Ye Tang to be so serious, humiliating him. If he had been satisfied with Ye Xingyan’s tactfulness earlier, now he resented her meddling.

"Dad, I’m sorry. I will discipline Xingyan properly when we go back, please trust me."

"Brother, do you know who the mastermind was behind my near kidnapping assassination yesterday?" Ye Qiu asked again.

Ye Bai’s heart trembled: "Who?"

"Zhao Pengfei, your most beloved daughter’s biological father."

"Him? Why?" Ye Bai looked visibly shocked, as if hearing this for the first time, "Is this true? What did the police say?"

"What could they say? Coincidentally, there was a fire at Zhao Pengfei’s home last night, and he is already dead. After all, you can’t question the dead."

"Dead?" Ye Bai’s voice suddenly rose, genuinely shocked, not faking it, which Ye Tang noticed with a cold look.

Ye Tang grew up in a complex environment, skilled in reading people. He noticed his eldest son’s emotional changes, undoubtedly seeing the abnormality, which enraged him further.

Regardless of whether the police find evidence in the future, he no longer recognized this son. Call him heartless or cold-blooded; he has never been a good person. The only kindness he had was reserved for his wife, leaving no room for anyone else, including his son, because he was born of his beloved wife, so the son received some affection, while others were no different from subordinates in his eyes.

He believed he had given enough, it’s Ye Bai’s own dissatisfaction, which is not his fault.

Ye Bai, sensing Ye Tang and Ye Qiu’s gaze, grew more anxious, fearing they might notice something. Swallowing, he said, "Dad, how come the timing is just so?"

"Yeah, don’t you find it too coincidental, brother?" Ye Qiu lowered his head, sneering, "Whether Zhao Pengfei was ultimately the mastermind or not, brother, do you think I would still have a good face towards your daughter? After all, she is Zhao Pengfei’s biological child."

"Uncle, I and he..."

"Don’t tell me you have no relation to her, and don’t tell me you’re not familiar with him." Ye Qiu interrupted Ye Xingyan’s attempt to argue, his gaze hostile, "You’re his daughter, that’s the original sin, do I need more reasons to detest you?"

Ye Xingyan’s tears fell at the right moment: "Uncle, I’m sorry, but I truly didn’t know. If you insist on blaming me, then go ahead. Can I do something to make amends?"

"Amends? There’s no way to amend, after all, your father wanted my life, and you still enjoyed so many years of preferential treatment from the Ye Family. Just thinking about it makes me unwilling. Perhaps you should first shed the identity of Ye Family’s daughter, then return what you’ve benefited from during these years, for the things you can’t return, write a promissory note to pay back later." Ye Qiu said, showing no pity at all.

Ye Xingyan, pushed back by Ye Qiu’s gaze, gritted her teeth: "Uncle... I... Do you really want it this way? Mom, won’t you speak to uncle for me? I’m truly innocent!"

Shen Huiran was surprised, feeling Ye Xingyan’s words had deeper meaning, hurriedly defending, "Second brother, Xingyan is our daughter, raised by us. Even if she has to pay back, isn’t it to us?"
