Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1444 - 1433: The Prestigious Family’s Young Uncle

"You don’t seem to be doing well, you’ve lost weight, and gotten darker." Shen Huiran said to Zhao Xingyan with a sigh.

As soon as Zhao Xingyan heard these concerned words, she immediately burst into tears and choked up, saying, "Mom is still caring and loving to me, this is all my own doing, it’s my betrayal of Mom’s concern."

Shen Huiran didn’t respond, and a flash of sarcasm appeared in her eyes as she sipped tea from her glass.

Zhao Xingyan, crying without a response, felt awkward for a moment, then she wiped her tears with a tissue: "And you, Mom, how have you been these years?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Huiran’s clothes and bag and continued, "It seems pretty good, this bag is a new model this year, isn’t it?"

"It’s from Star Cloud." Shen Huiran said nonchalantly.

"My brother?" Zhao Xingyan’s voice grew louder, "Thinking about it, he should be graduating from university this year, right? Where is he interning?"

"Although his grandfather and uncle don’t like me and his dad, they’ve always been considerate of him. The company taken back from his dad back then is now given to him."

"Is that so?" Zhao Xingyan’s eyes brightened, "Brother has achieved so much now, then..."

Seeing Shen Huiran’s expression, she ultimately did not act too opportunistic and instead smiled awkwardly, "That’s great."

"What about you? Didn’t your mom have seven million? How did it turn into this?" Shen Huiran asked with genuine interest, actually that was the reason she agreed to this meal today, she wanted to know why Zhao Xingyan was living so miserably.

"I... back then, my mom and I went abroad, but luck wasn’t on our side, we encountered a scammer." Zhao Xingyan said euphemistically.

Actually, the process was much more complicated. If anything must be said, it can only be said that they brought it upon themselves.

With seven million in hand, Zhao Xingyan initially planned to portray herself as a rich second generation studying abroad, then to approach those genuinely wealthy second generations.

At that time, many pursued her, after careful selection by her, she finally chose one she deemed most suitable, but unexpectedly, that person was also a scammer, portraying a rich second generation persona like her for fishing.

Moreover, the other party was much smarter, even somehow knew her true identity, finally, after swindling all her money, they disappeared without a trace.

She reported the case, but neither she nor the other party had a green card, and she had no money then, who would care about her case? Without money, she lost her residence and couldn’t continue her studies, she could only live with Qian Lan Ya in the dirtiest neighborhoods, doing the lowest possible jobs.

After finally earning enough for a ticket back home, she found out the other’s identity in the country was also fake, the police simply couldn’t trace it, and since she was cheated abroad, even if the police wanted to track it down, they couldn’t.

Since then, she and Qian Lan Ya could only suffer in silence, fortunately, before Qian Lan Ya’s house and child, just mostly burnt, barely selling for some money to fund their current rent and living expenses.

She didn’t go without seeking Shi Junmian, but it was only after finding him she realized the Shi Family had long since fallen, not only the top figures were toppled, but even assets were seized. Shi Junmian was the only one unaffected, but without family support, he was just like her, nothing. She was even afraid he might cause trouble, leaving without a word.

After experiencing such torment, Zhao Xingyan only realized how immortal-like her life was before, now not only does she need to go out and work for meager living expenses, but even Qian Lan Ya blames her for squandering so much money, even forcing her to do chores.

In fact, the days she lived with Qian Lan Ya weren’t many, and although they were biological mother and daughter, the emotion wasn’t particularly deep, and she had a temper like an Eldest Lady, how long could Qian Lan Ya endure her? Quite often, she compared her to Ye Yao, saying how sensible and diligent Ye Yao was, and how lazy and useless she was.

Zhao Xingyan wasn’t one to endure, so the two often argued, leading the neighbors to become accustomed, no longer stepping out to mediate, just gossiping like watching a show.

Just when she thought she would be forlorn for life, Zhao Xingyan came to Shen Huiran’s residing city with a sense of luck, unexpectedly bumped into her, discovering Shen Huiran’s life was much better than she imagined.

"Mom, all these years I’ve been missing you and Dad very much, knowing you’re doing well puts my mind at ease." Zhao Xingyan said, smiling while shedding tears, making herself look pitiful, just waiting for Shen Huiran to feel sympathy for her.

However, she only heard Shen Huiran’s mocking laugh: "Is that so? Knowing you’re doing poorly makes me happy."

Zhao Xingyan abruptly raised her head, utterly stunned at her: "Mom, you... have you stopped loving me? I am your most cherished Xingyan, how could you say that?"

"Once was," Shen Huiran looked at her coldly, "I once considered you more important than my own child, but who told you not to cherish, who told you to be so heartless? When you resolutely decided to leave without repaying the money, I said it then, we would no longer have any relationship, did you think crying a bit today would make me soft-hearted and take you back? Laughable."

Zhao Xingyan clutched her pants tightly: "So Mom sees me as a joke today?"

"Exactly." Shen Huiran snorted, "I specifically came to hear how miserable you’ve become."

Zhao Xingyan’s face turned ashen: "Does Mom truly feel no emotion towards me?"

"Did you have emotion towards me when you resolutely decided to leave? I treated you so well, gave you the best of everything, and what was the result? I raised a thankless wretch."

"Calling me a thankless wretch, Mom, what was your purpose in nurturing me? Wasn’t it for your own dignity? Wasn’t it hoping to sell me for a high price when I grew up? Who is nobler than whom?" Zhao Xingyan retorted recklessly, disregarding everything.

"You..." Shen Huiran’s face turned dark, but she quickly regained composure, looking at her haughtily, "Anyway, I’m not the one having a hard time now, vent your resentment as you please. Considering we were once mother and daughter, I’ll cover today’s bill."

"Is Mom not afraid of me speaking out?" At the private room’s door, Shen Huiran heard Zhao Xingyan’s cold threat.

However, Shen Huiran this time was no longer affected by her, instead, she looked down at her: "Want to use that incident to threaten me again? Go ahead, I’ll see if you can even get to the Ye Family, as long as you dare to show any anomaly, I’ll make your life worse. My son is now the company’s general manager, I’m not short of money to hire someone to torment you."

Hearing these words, Zhao Xingyan shuddered violently, only then did she finally realize, she had no ground to stand on.
