Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1517 - 1506: Avenging My Sister

"Quick, get in the car! Are you out of your mind standing here in this cold wind?" Wang Chengyang said with a face full of concern, trying to hold Ye Qiu’s hand, but Ye Qiu dodged him.

"I don’t feel cold physically, just a bit cold in my heart." Ye Qiu smiled tragically, "Compared to the encounters I’ve had these days, what does cold weather even matter?"

"You... sigh, try to stay optimistic, we will definitely find a way."

"Senior, do you know if Senior Zhihua has ever done something like this before?" Ye Qiu changed the subject.

"What?" Wang Chengyang was taken aback.

"I mean, is this Senior Zhihua’s first time plagiarizing? If it’s her first time, then there’s no way we can overturn the case. The studio is hers, I don’t have the original draft, there’s no way I can turn it around. I’ve thought it through carefully, rather than carrying the stigma within this circle, where anyone can bring up my black history in the future, I might as well return to my hometown." Ye Qiu said very dejectedly.

Wang Chengyang was anxious upon hearing this: "How can you think like that? With your talent, what can’t you prove?"

"But I no longer have the courage, unless I can find other evidence against Senior Zhihua."

Wang Chengyang thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "Actually, you’re not the first one she’s plagiarized."

"Really?" Ye Qiu showed an incredibly surprised expression, "Has Senior Zhihua plagiarized others before? Who was it? How do you know, Senior?"

"Why do I know? Because the person she plagiarized before liked me." Wang Chengyang said hesitantly.

"Is it Senior Zhan Yao?" Ye Qiu asked softly.

This time it was Wang Chengyang’s turn to be surprised: "You know?"

"It was Li Si Yue who said it; she often talks about Senior Zhihua’s deeds, including how Senior Zhan Yao plagiarized her works and tried to seduce you, Senior."

"Oh, she’s the one who said it!" Wang Chengyang didn’t doubt it because he knew Li Si Yue was just that kind of person, eager to broadcast her cousin’s story to the whole world.

"But from what you said earlier, Senior, was there really a hidden truth to this? Was the real story not that Senior Zhan Yao plagiarized Senior Li Zhihua, but rather that Senior Li Zhihua plagiarized Senior Zhan Yao?"

"Yes, that’s correct." Wang Chengyang answered somewhat ambiguously.

"Then why did things turn out the way they did? Why did Senior Zhan Yao commit suicide? Was it related to this?"

"Actually, I’m not sure, I just have suspicions." Wang Chengyang looked like he didn’t really want to answer, but seeing Ye Qiu’s inquisitive eyes, he felt like if he didn’t tell her, she might give up on her talent, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "I know because Zhan Yao showed me her initial drafts before; as for why she committed suicide, probably it was because she couldn’t withstand the pressure of public opinion!"

Ye Qiu stared into Wang Chengyang’s eyes, "Senior, since you knew Senior Zhan Yao was innocent, why didn’t you stand up and prove it for her?"

Wang Chengyang felt a bit unnatural under her piercing gaze and evasively replied: "You know the relationship between our families. At that time, Zhihua pleaded with me, I had no choice, I really didn’t expect Zhan Yao to be unable to cope with the pressure."

"Does Senior still have the original draft now? Since Senior Zhan Yao liked you so much, she must have given you something, right? With this evidence, I can prove that Senior Zhihua has no talent, I can regain my confidence in designing."

"I have it, but I can’t hand it over, considering our families are long-term friends, and since it’s all in the past, why not just let it be?"

Ye Qiu coldly laughed in her heart, but said disappointedly on the surface: "Didn’t Senior say you’d help me? You were just saying it, weren’t you? Since Senior is so unwilling to damage the relationship between the families, you should just go marry Senior Zhihua. Why bother with me?"

Seeing Ye Qiu about to walk away, wanting to break off relations with him, Wang Chengyang panicked and quickly said: "I’m not saying I won’t give you the original draft, I’m just saying it’s not the right time yet, such matters need careful planning."

"Really?" Ye Qiu paused, "Senior, are you not lying to me, right?"

"Why would I lie to you? During the time in Yunnan, you already knew my feelings for you, didn’t you?" Wang Chengyang said, trying to take advantage, but Ye Qiu avoided him again.

He was a bit angry: "Ye Qiu, I thought you liked me too, why are you always avoiding me?"

Ye Qiu feigned innocence, blushing and said: "It’s too fast, I’m shy, and right now Senior is still in a relationship with Senior Zhihua as boyfriend and girlfriend. Before you guys clear things up, I don’t want to do anything like this; it makes me feel very ashamed, unworthy of my past education."

"What era is this, why do you still care about these things?" Wang Chengyang was a bit frustrated, he had prepared everything today, only to be told he couldn’t do anything? What was he out in the cold night for?

"Can’t you just wait a little bit longer?" Ye Qiu hummed, almost like she was pouting, "Can’t you just respect me a bit?"

Wang Chengyang was quite taken with this approach, and immediately softened: "Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you."

However, in his heart he thought, dealing with women must not be rushed, letting the other party willingly fall into his embrace is the true enjoyment, what ’virgin’? He’ll see if she can escape his arms after coaxing her for a few more days.

"Then how about you bring me Senior Zhan Yao’s original drafts tomorrow, and then I’ll take you to the movies?"

Wang Chengyang felt intrigued and agreed, of course, he wasn’t planning to hand over the drafts directly to Ye Qiu, but to use them to coax her would be perfect. With any luck, what didn’t happen today might happen tomorrow.

The next day, Wang Chengyang indeed brought items related to Zhan Yao as promised. Ye Qiu immediately recognized it as her sister’s notes, not just those, and possibly to earn her trust, Wang Chengyang brought quite a few of Zhan Yao’s other manuscripts, all of which were strong evidence against Li Zhihua.

After looking them over, Ye Qiu, as Wang Chengyang hoped, treated him a bit more warmly, but still didn’t permit him any intimate actions. The two walked side by side along the river bank, discussing dreams for the future.

Wang Chengyang was thinking improper thoughts, completely unaware that a motorcycle was approaching from behind. By the time he heard the sound, the rider had already snatched his briefcase and sped off.

"Robbery, someone’s robbing!" Ye Qiu immediately shouted loudly, but it was late at night, and in this seldom-visited river bank area, the person was speeding away on a motorcycle, who would help them? Even if Wang Chengyang turned around to chase by car, it would be too late.

"Senior, we must report to the police quickly, there were things in there to take down Senior Zhihua, it can’t be lost!" Ye Qiu said urgently.

However, Wang Chengyang thought, there’s absolutely no way to report it; if the things inside were exposed, Li Zhihua really wouldn’t be able to recover her reputation, and he never intended to cause a scene with Li Zhihua.
