Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1492 - 1481: The Cannon Fodder Big Brother in Old-School Romance Novels

"Big brother, I appreciate you making the trip today," Ye Yanting’s face showed signs of relief, appearing much softer.

"You and Wanqin have a profound relationship, and now with a child as a bond, live well together, and don’t argue over unnecessary matters. I know Uncle Gu still holds some dissatisfaction with you, but now that you have a child, it’s a turning point, make sure to seize the opportunity," Ye Qiu patted him on the shoulder.

"I will," Ye Yanting nodded and then noticed Ye Qiu’s unusually unique cufflinks, thinking of something instantly, "Is there something new going on?"

Ye Qiu smiled gently at his gaze, "Yes, I was planning to tell everyone these days, but I’ll wait a few more days."

For some reason, upon hearing Ye Qiu admit he had a new girlfriend, Ye Yanting breathed a deep sigh of relief, as if his brother was a threat as long as he remained unmarried.

Ye Yanting didn’t tell anyone that he always felt inferior facing his big brother, especially since their father-in-law often compared them. Though he wanted to surpass him, his brother’s accomplishments always left him discouraged, because he couldn’t achieve the same level of excellence. Sometimes he even maliciously wished that his brother would make a grave mistake, making him appear less useless.

However, Ye Yanting’s thoughts were merely a fantasy. With Ye Qiu’s extensive worldly wisdom, managing a company was no big deal for him.

When the younger son mentioned to Ren Zhen that the older son had a girlfriend, she was busy taking care of the younger daughter-in-law during her postnatal confinement and asked Ye Qiu to bring her home to meet them.

"Actually, you all know her," Ye Qiu gave a heads-up.

"Oh? Which family’s girl?" Grandma asked eagerly.

"It’s Nana."

"Which Nana?" Ren Zhen already felt a bad premonition.

"Tan Nana."

"Her?" Ren Zhen was startled, "How did she become your girlfriend? How did you two get together? How... how is this okay?"

"There’s nothing bad about it, the man is unmarried and the woman is unwed, we are of similar age and family background, isn’t it just right?" Ye Qiu said calmly.

"But she is..." Ren Zhen quietly added, "But she is your brother’s ex-girlfriend."

"Back then Yanting treated her poorly, using her as a decoy, and nothing happened between them."

"But ultimately, it’s inappropriate. No, I don’t agree with your relationship. How does it look? A brother snatches his brother’s girlfriend? Aren’t you afraid of being mocked?"

Ye Qiu’s expression slowly turned cold, "Mom, you’ve got it wrong. Before Nana and I were in a relationship, she and Yanting had already broken up. I didn’t steal his girlfriend."

"You’re still blaming your brother, did you intentionally do this? Or is Tan Nana seeking revenge?" Ren Zhen pondered, "Ye Qiu, you are brothers, you can’t become enemies!"

Ye Qiu said irritably, "Am I supposed to become enemies over a girlfriend? Nana and I sincerely love each other, with no intention of revenge. Mom, you’re overthinking."

"No, I still disagree. I don’t believe this matter, and I can’t allow you to take life events so lightly. What about this family if you two get married? How do you plan to interact as siblings?" Ren Zhen looked frustrated, her attitude very firm.

"Mom, why can you agree on Yanting with Wanqin but not me with Nana? In this matter, neither Nana nor I did anything wrong." Ye Qiu’s expression also turned sour, "No matter what you say, and whether you believe it or not, Nana and I truly love each other, and I’ve decided she’s the one I’ll spend my life with. I won’t break up just because you disapprove."

"You..." Ren Zhen pointed at Ye Qiu, "You’re going to drive me crazy. I always thought you were the most obedient and least worrying one, but now you’re so stubborn, are you determined to oppose me? Even your father wouldn’t agree."

"Mom, this isn’t an arranged marriage era. Everyone has the right to make decisions about their life events, and just because I’ve been obedient doesn’t mean I should compromise for your face or Yanting’s embarrassment. It’s unfair to me."

"Are you blaming me for favoritism?" Ren Zhen looked incredulous, "Do you want revenge not only on your brother but also on me and your father?"

Ye Qiu frowned, "Mom, I don’t know why you’re convinced I’m retaliating. Do I not even have the right to love?"

"You can love anyone, but Tan Nana is not an option," Ren Zhen insisted firmly.

"Why, didn’t you really like her mom before? Are either of us lacking?"

"You’re both fine, but for the sake of this family, you just can’t be together. I’ll talk to your father about this, and I’ll ask him to send you to another location to calm down."

Grandma became displeased upon hearing this, glaring at Ren Zhen, "You’ve favored them from a young age, but now you want to force him to leave? What are you trying to do? Why can’t my eldest grandson be with Tan Nana? That girl seems nice and pretty to me."

Ren Zhen sighed, "Mom, please don’t add to the confusion. Can’t you refrain from stirring this up? Do you want this family to fall apart completely?"

"You want to wrong my eldest grandson just to maintain superficial peace in this family?" Grandma retorted sharply, refusing to back down.

"I’m not arguing with you, I’ll let Zhiliang come back and talk to you."

Indeed, when Ye Zhiliang heard Ye Qiu wanted to be with Tan Nana, he was also strongly opposed and even threatened, "If you don’t break up, I’ll immediately halt the company’s share transfer agreement."

At this moment, Ye Yanting was also aware of this matter, standing aside with dark eyes looking at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu looked at his parents with disappointment, "No matter what you think, Nana and I truly love each other, and there aren’t any conspiracies you imagine. I’ve promised to take care of her for life, and that promise will never change."

"Do you think I won’t really revoke your inheritance rights?" Ye Zhiliang was furious, "Don’t think that just because you’re excellent, you can do whatever you want; your brother has the same capability."

Ye Qiu sighed, "Then let’s leave it at that."

Everyone thought he meant giving up the relationship, Ye Zhiliang, Ren Zhen, and Grandma all sighed in relief, but Ye Yanting felt a twinge of disappointment.

However, Ye Qiu continued, "I won’t give up this relationship, nor will I abandon Nana for a bit of property. Since dad put it that way, then I’ll go resign as general manager tomorrow."

"Don’t think you can threaten me like this." Ye Zhiliang grew angrier, "You know I’ve always been a man of my word."

"Dad, so am I," Ye Qiu said, looking directly into his eyes, his stance unwavering.
