Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1496 - 1485: Cannon Fodder Big Brother in a Vintage Romance Novel

The next day, the Old Lady was happily sent back by Ye Qiu. Since she already knew her grandson’s intentions, understood that these two children truly loved each other, and even learned that her eldest grandson had future in-laws to help, what was there to worry about?

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law, she didn’t say much and even hummed lightly. Let this pair of biased parents regret it later; her eldest grandson didn’t even care about this company! Let them give it to whoever they want, so as not to accept it and be bound by restrictions.

"Come over, I have something to say to you." Ye Zhiliang, lacking the courage to confront his own mother, caught Ye Qiu instead. "You still have some sense, knowing to send your grandma back."

Ye Qiu said directly, "If it weren’t for my company just being established and me being busy usually, I’d very much like grandma to live with me."

Ye Zhiliang said angrily, "You really don’t plan to come back? Is it worth it for a woman?"

Ye Qiu nodded, "Nana is worth me treating her like this."

"Do you know she might be using you? She liked your brother so much before, chased him from childhood to adulthood, how could she suddenly change? She’s using you to get back at your brother; she just wants to make our whole family uneasy!"

Ye Qiu looked at him very seriously, "Dad, do you see me as a fool? I can distinguish between genuine emotions and fake intentions, and yesterday grandma also met Nana, she was quite satisfied."

"Your grandma is biased towards you; naturally, whatever you say goes, that can’t be used as a basis." Ye Zhiliang said worriedly, "You really plan to give up the family business for a woman with ill intentions? Do you think entrepreneurship is such an easy matter? Don’t regret it later."

"Dad, I’m not someone who abandons his beloved for money." Ye Qiu sighed. "And from your attitudes these past days, I’ve understood; a man must have his own career. Even if it’s given by parents, one is still bound. I don’t want that; I will definitely continue to run the company, give Ye Family to my brother if you will, I have no opinions."

"You..." Ye Zhiliang, extremely upset, considered that although he cherished the younger son he had raised by his side since childhood, as a businessman, he understood even more that the elder son was the best successor. And with the elder son pioneering, the younger son wouldn’t have to worry about anything. Now the elder son completely disregarded his advice; should he really train the younger son himself?

It’s not that the younger son is incapable, but with that temper, managing the company is indeed challenging. He was reluctant to force the younger son to change; and besides, when the younger son inherits the company, how much shares and assets should he give the elder son?

Initially, he had thought it well; the younger son would get half the shares without managing anything. Although he had threatened to cut off the younger son’s inheritance due to his mistakes, in the end, he would undoubtedly leave the younger son’s inheritance no less than the elder son’s before dying.

But now the elder son refused to inherit the company; should the younger son, who endured hardship, still give half of the assets to the elder son? On the contrary, he felt it a bit unfair, considering the elder son had talent, it was he himself dismissing the family’s company, how much should be given to be fair?

Ye Zhiliang found himself in a dilemma. Giving half, he feared the younger son would end up tired without getting what he deserved. Giving less, he worried people might accuse him of partiality.

In fact, even Ye Zhiliang himself didn’t realize how partial he was. Initially, having Ye Qiu endure hardships and then splitting the younger son’s share seemed appropriate to him. Now, letting Ye Yanting manage the company and then splitting Ye Qiu’s share felt unfair to the younger son’s efforts.

But people are indeed biased; there are no absolutely fair parents in this world. The Old Lady understood this, hence she cherishes Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu also understood that growing up away from parents was different from their feelings for his brother. Hence, he didn’t mind this bias; if one cares about everything and contemplates everything, how tiring life would be!

Therefore, the ones ultimately troubled and worried were Ye Zhiliang, Ren Zhen, and Ye Yanting, for they felt guilty towards Ye Qiu yet reluctant to give Ye Qiu more, thereby troubled internally.

Ye Qiu and Ye Zhiliang parted on bad terms. As he prepared to head to the company, Gu Wanqin looked at him unable to express her thoughts.

"I know you still probably hate me." She spoke to herself, "Hate that I betrayed you, hate that I seduced Yanting, right?"

"You’re overthinking." Ye Qiu stepped back calmly. "You don’t need to deny it; I understand." Gu Wanqin sighed heavily, "If I were in your place with Yanting, I’d definitely hold a grudge, so I understand. But you really shouldn’t use your lifelong happiness to get back at us; it’s not worth it."

Ye Qiu looked at her, inexplicably bewildered, "You’re truly overthinking; I’m not that kind of person."

"Then it’s Tan Nana deliberately seducing you, isn’t it? I understand her feelings for Yanting over the years. Brother, you must be careful not to fall for her trap."

Listening, Ye Qiu’s gaze turned cold, and he stated righteously, "Nana is not that kind of person, you’re mistaken. Please don’t say such things anymore. My relationship with her has nothing to do with you, so there’s no need to worry excessively."

Seeing him turn to leave, Gu Wanqin shouted louder, "Brother, you don’t need to deny it; you liked me so much. I don’t believe your feelings for me could vanish so quickly. You don’t truly love Tan Nana, do you? Brother, why won’t you listen to advice? I’m really not worth your efforts; let go, will you? We’ll still be family."

"Are you unable to understand words?" Ye Qiu retorted.

"What?"

"I said before, my feelings for you are long gone. There’s no need for such wishful thinking. My relationship with Nana also has nothing to do with you. I won’t waste time avenging you, but you did get one thing right: you and Yanting aren’t worth me and Nana’s revenge."

Gu Wanqin stood there, astonished and speechless. She couldn’t believe such heartless words came from Ye Qiu’s mouth. Looking at Ye Qiu’s indifferent face, she felt very foreign and lost because he was always considerate and caring toward her, how could he use such cold words?

And he even said she was self-absorbed, claimed she wasn’t worth avenging. Did he really detach himself so cleanly?

For some reason, though she wanted Ye Qiu to stop bothering and prevent Ye Yanting from misunderstanding, she now felt a bit lost. She refused to admit that she still enjoyed the feeling of being favored, only thinking Ye Qiu was being childish, intentionally saying this to save face.

Alas!

Gu Wanqin sighed heavily, couldn’t have imagined the always mature and steady Ye Qiu could be this stubborn at times. Not being able to let go isn’t something shameful; he surely didn’t want herself and Yanting to clash, thus intentionally refusing to admit.
