Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
"What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so upset after just one visit back?" Tan Nana had a bad feeling, but seeing Ye Qiu in a bad mood made her heart ache for him.
Ye Qiu didn’t plan to hide it from Tan Nana, so he said outright, "My parents don’t agree with us being together."
Tan Nana bit her lip, her heart filled with anxiety, "What about you? What do you think?"
Ye Qiu looked at her seriously, "Do you believe in me?"
"Of course I believe in you. I will wait for you to convince your parents."
"That’s not what I meant. My parents are very firm in their stance; they’re even using the inheritance issue to threaten me. I disagreed, so I decided to resign from the company and start my own business. Can you wait for me for two years? After two years, I will have earned enough money to marry you and take care of you, then we can get married."
Tan Nana was so shocked by this news that she couldn’t react. Ye Qiu was really giving up the Ye Family for her? That was the Ye Family with a market value of billions, and he was giving it up just like that?
"Are you serious?" she asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I like you. The matter of marriage is something I must decide for myself; no one can threaten me with it. Wait for me, just two years, I won’t let you suffer."
Tan Nana didn’t care about the Ye Family’s company because she herself had money. She was an only child, and the entire Tan Family would be hers in the future. But for Ye Qiu to do this for her left her genuinely flattered and surprised.
"I have money, why don’t we just get married now?"
"No." Ye Qiu shook his head, "I want you to marry me gloriously, without any gossip. Besides, how can I, a man, live off someone else? Without a career, how can I face your parents to propose? Nana, wait for me, just two years, and I’ll make a name for myself."
Listening, Tan Nana was deeply moved. Indeed, she might not care about Ye Qiu’s financial situation, but Ye Qiu himself couldn’t not care. He was always Heaven’s Chosen Son, would he rather be ridiculed for this?
"Alright, I’ll wait for you. When I go back, I’ll persuade Mom and Dad."
"No, I want to talk to them myself." Ye Qiu went back with Tan Nana to the Tan Family, and then he went into the study with Mr. Tan. No one knew what they discussed, but Mr. Tan, who had gone in with a serious face, came out smiling, having agreed to give Ye Qiu two years.
On the way back, Tan Nana was itching with curiosity and finally couldn’t help but ask, "What exactly did you say to my father? How did he agree so quickly?"
Ye Qiu chuckled lightly, "Nothing much, just talked about my future career plans. Maybe your father has high expectations of me!"
"That’s great. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Actually, there is. I’m short on funds right now, would you be willing to be my investor?"
"Of course, I have about 20 million in cash; is that enough? If not, I have a few commercial properties in my name, and I can contact an agent to sell them tomorrow," Tan Nana said earnestly.
Ye Qiu was both touched and amused, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll cheat you, trusting me so much?"
"You’re my boyfriend, if I don’t trust you, who will I trust?" Tan Nana said, glaring at him, "Besides, even my dad has faith in you, so there must be no problem."
Ye Qiu rubbed her head, "There’s no need to sell the shops. Don’t worry, you won’t lose anything."
A few days later, Ye Zhiliang and others, who were waiting for him to regret his decision, learned that he had registered an internet company. In a fit of anger, the company’s business was assigned to Ye Yanting to manage.
"You two really are something," the Old Lady said, almost beside herself with anger. "Ye Qiu has done so much for the family company, and you just cut him out like this? Where is your conscience?"
Ye Zhiliang said with a sullen face, "He insists on opposing the family, refusing to repent."
"He refuses to repent? What did he do wrong? Yanting can pursue true love, but Ye Qiu can’t? How can your hearts be so biased?" The Old Lady yelled in anger, scolding Ye Zhiliang and Ren Zhen fiercely, leaving Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin’s faces looking quite bad.
"It’s different," Ye Zhiliang explained.
The Old Lady retorted, "How is it different? Just because Ye Yanting made things irreversible?"
At this, Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin became even more restless, and Gu Wanqin found an excuse to leave, "The child is probably waking up; I’ll go check."
Ren Zhen complained, "Mom, why did you say that in front of Wanqin? How embarrassing for the child."
"She’s embarrassed? If she was embarrassed, she wouldn’t have gotten involved with her brother-in-law in the first place," the Old Lady said, exasperated.
Gu Wanqin had just entered the room; the door wasn’t even closed properly, so she heard it. Her face turned even more red with embarrassment, mixed with a bit of grievance. At that time, her feelings for Yanting were beyond control, why bring it up even after she’d had a child? Besides, was it just her fault?
Her relationship with Yanting had run its course, but Ye Qiu still had choices. Why did he have to choose Tan Nana? Coming out so openly at this time, who knows if it was out of spite?
Weren’t her parents-in-law doing all this for the family? The grandmother always said her parents-in-law were biased, but didn’t her own heart bias towards the Pacific Ocean? Even if not for Yanting and her sake, couldn’t it be for the great-grandson’s sake?
Gu Wanqin now had a belly full of complaints, but no place to express them. She only speculated why Ye Qiu was no longer as caring and considerate as before. Was his superficial letting go all a performance? Did he still have feelings for her and wanted revenge?
After thinking it over, Gu Wanqin decided to meet Tan Nana after her confinement period to talk things over, whether this relationship was deliberately orchestrated by Tan Nana or by Ye Qiu, she couldn’t let them treat such a serious matter as a joke. She felt she had the obligation and responsibility to remind them.
Downstairs, the Old Lady was still making a fuss, "I don’t care, since you won’t care for my eldest grandson, I’ll go and care for him. I’m moving in with him right now."
"Mom," Ye Zhiliang said helplessly, "You’re just making trouble. I just want Ye Qiu to come back. By doing this, you’re encouraging him, how will he come back?"
"Then let me go and persuade him," the Old Lady muttered, determined to leave.
Seeing they couldn’t stop her, Ye Zhiliang and Ren Zhen could only let the driver take her away, "Then talk to him properly, tell him not to be mad at the family. If he is willing to come back, the company is still his."
As he said this, Ye Zhiliang didn’t see the suppressed frustration on his son’s face; otherwise, he would have been startled.
Ye Yanting was indeed unhappy now. Previously, he had wronged his elder brother, and his capabilities were not as strong as his. The company going to his elder brother was natural, but what was this now? Was their father joking with him?
Moreover, now his elder brother was clearly back to retaliate against him too. Why should he still give in to his elder brother?
