Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1442 - 1431: The Noble Family’s Little Uncle

"On what grounds are you demanding custody of Xingyan?" Shen Huiran glared at Qian Lan Ya with reddened eyes, "I’ve painstakingly raised her to this age, on what basis are you taking her away from me?"

"Simply because she is my biological daughter." Qian Lan Ya presented the paternity test results, "Didn’t you also bring your daughter back? Why can’t I take my daughter?"

"You..." Shen Huiran gritted her teeth, "We signed an agreement, and we even gave you ten million."

"Where’s that agreement then? Show it to me." Qian Lan Ya said confidently.

"Agreement, agreement." Shen Huiran began searching through boxes, "I’ll find it for you right now."

But after searching for a while, she found nothing. It seemed she finally realized what was going on and glanced at Ye Xingyan, who had been standing silently beside her: "Did you take the agreement? How did Qian Lan Ya get a sample for the paternity test? Did you help her?"

Ye Xingyan took a step back from a furious Shen Huiran and said with a pained expression, "Mom, I had no choice, my mom now only has me, her only relative. I can’t leave her alone; otherwise, she won’t survive..."

"So it was you, why? I treated you so well, even better than my own child, yet you want to return to her?"

Ye Xingyan lowered her head and softly said, "After all, she is my biological mom."

"Biological, biological?" Shen Huiran now felt utterly ridiculous, she put her own biological daughter aside, and now her foster daughter says that the biological relationship is the most important? So is she now getting her just deserts?

"Fine, since you want to go back to your biological mom, then have her return the ten million to me, and also repay all the expenses I spent raising you over the years." Shen Huiran said harshly.

Ye Xingyan immediately looked heartbroken: "Mom, are you saying you don’t love me anymore over such a small matter? Why does everything have to involve money? Mom, even if I won’t be by your side in the future, I still love you. Why do you say such hurtful things? Is all the mother-daughter affection we had over the years fake?"

Looking at her tearfully defending herself, Shen Huiran had once thought of her foster daughter as smart, but now it felt like having swallowed a fly, making her appear extremely ruthless, absolving herself of all responsibility.

"You’re leaving me, and you still talk about feelings? If you are grateful for my upbringing, you should return that money to me. Didn’t you always pride yourself on being kind and grateful? Why aren’t you saying that now?" Shen Huiran, not to be outdone, dealt sternly with a child she herself raised, "Don’t I have the means?"

"But we are family, family shouldn’t demand gratitude, Mom, are you treating me as an outsider? It seems my decision was correct, in your hearts, I haven’t been the cherished daughter for a long time, right?"

Shen Huiran watched as the daughter she used to cherish and protect said these words, her heart slowly grew cold. Once she had neglected her biological daughter for this foster daughter, opposed her father-in-law and family, but now what? The foster daughter said she treated her poorly? And that she wanted to leave her and return to her biological mom? Were all those years of love fed to the dogs?

"Don’t talk to me about familial love anymore, if you want to return to your biological mom, then repay the money." Shen Huiran closed her eyes, her heart already wounded, unwilling to continue futile struggles.

"Repay the money? What money? What evidence do you have to make us repay? You raised my daughter for over ten years, but I also raised your daughter for over ten years? We’re even, even if you don’t give up custody, I’ll still sue you in court." Qian Lan Ya looked at Shen Huiran triumphantly, feeling she finally had the upper hand after all these years.

"Did you really raise my daughter? You treated Ye Yao like a maid." Shen Huiran screamed, wishing she could tear Qian Lan Ya apart.

"Well, who’s to blame for that? Your daughter’s own unlikeability. She wasn’t liked when she was with me, and even after you took her back, you, her own mother, didn’t like her either. How is that my problem?"

"You..." Shen Huiran now deeply regretted not seeing things clearly. Had she known, she should have reported Qian Lan Ya when she reunited with Ye Yao. Looks like her brother-in-law was right to scold her back then, what had clouded her judgment?

"Shen Huiran, we’re not here to negotiate with you. This custody, whether you like it or not, you have to give it." Qian Lan Ya said dismissively.

"Oh really?" Shen Huiran raised her head and sarcastically looked at the mother and daughter, "Even though my husband and I are in dire straits, our old contacts aren’t all lost. After all, we are the Ye Family, and if I want to drag this out, what can you do?"

"Mom, do you really want to threaten us like this?" Ye Xingyan looked at her aggrievedly, but Shen Huiran was no longer buying it, coldly turning her head.

Ye Xingyan continued, "Mom, I don’t want it to be like this, it’s you who are forcing me."

Shen Huiran felt a bad premonition, suddenly turning back to look at her, eyes red.

"Grandpa has already found out that it was my dad who hired someone to harm uncle. If grandpa and uncle knew all of this was orchestrated and planned by dad, do you think they’d let you off so easily?"

"You’re threatening me?"

Ye Xingyan looked pitifully at Shen Huiran, softly saying, "It was mom who threatened me first."

"Dare you say it? What good would it do for you and your mom?"

"How could my mom know? All these were done by my deceased dad, and now the evidence is gone. Regardless of whether grandpa and uncle believe it or not, as long as I say it, they’ll definitely believe and mind it. After all, dad had no reason to hurt uncle, but dad does. I overheard all this accidentally from your conversations. If I tell grandpa and uncle, I’ll say it’s because my conscience can’t bear it, so I..."

Not just Shen Huiran, even Qian Lan Ya felt uncomfortable hearing this. Was this the perfect daughter they thought they knew? She was still a minor!

"So this is the real you." Shen Huiran stared into her eyes, "Before, you intentionally made me dislike Ye Yao, didn’t you? You deliberately disrupted my relationship with her."

Ye Xingyan sighed softly, "In the Ye Family, no one is related to me by blood. I just wanted to be closer to dad."

Shen Huiran closed her eyes, not expecting that after all these years, she was destroyed by her own biological daughter whom she raised. Should she call herself a complete failure?

"Leave, I will let you go. From now on, you are no longer my daughter, and we have no relationship whatsoever."

Ye Xingyan curved her lips, "Thank you, Mom."
