Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1551 - 1540: Scumbag’s Repentance

"I still don’t quite understand, how did you suddenly find this classmate and start giving her money?" Jiang Xiuqing asked after everyone else had left.

Ye Qiu showed an embarrassed expression: "It’s all my fault, I just didn’t think it through at the time."

"Quickly tell me, exactly how much money did you give her? And did you do anything else foolish?"

"Actually, it wasn’t much, just thirty thousand."

"Just thirty thousand?" Jiang Xiuqing raised her voice, as if Ye Qiu had eaten her meat along with giving away this money, wishing she could hit him.

"You said I wasted a lot of money inviting people from our hometown, and isn’t this the same? Thirty thousand, how long could that last for us?" Jiang Xiuqing was heartbroken, "No wonder she bought me shoes and sent me fruits, turns out it was all with your money."

"Mom, I know I was wrong, I didn’t know she was that kind of person before." Ye Qiu pleaded.

Jiang Xiuqing glared at him: "You didn’t know she was like that, and you could just give her money? Are you not ashamed in front of Xiao Ya? Hurry up and tell the truth, you’re usually a person with good judgment, how did you get involved with her?"

"It’s nothing special, she was my classmate in high school, and wasn’t she excellent at everything back then? So, I had a crush on her." Ye Qiu explained awkwardly.

"So you reignited your old feelings for her?"

"Of course not!" Even though he had already explained to Mei Ya, he still glanced nervously at her, "I just thought it was pitiful that her family ended up this way, I purely wanted to help her out based on the feelings I had in high school, I swear I never had any intention of having an affair."

"Good thing you know there are some things you can’t do. If you wrong Xiao Ya, see if I don’t break your legs." Jiang Xiuqing said angrily.

"How would I dare? I had already clearly rejected her before, and kept my distance. Who knew she would turn around and scheme against you? I’m really innocent."

Jiang Xiuqing sighed: "So, is the money you tipped her irretrievable?"

"It probably isn’t possible."

"What a spendthrift."

Mei Ya, watching her mother-in-law’s reaction, was somewhat touched; she didn’t expect her to stand by her in this matter.

Jiang Xiuqing saw her daughter-in-law smirking, and exhaled lightly. She’s not a fool, she knows what choice to make, right?

In this case, the fault was her son’s, and although she had some friction with this daughter-in-law, there wasn’t anything else wrong with her. Her family had plenty of assets and now she’s managing the company. Should her son give up so much for a woman who makes a living off entertaining others?

Now, it’s just a case of scolding her son for a while, which won’t cost her anything, and it reassures her daughter-in-law, which is great.

"Hurry and eat, the food’s gotten cold after this whole joke, and to be honest, the food that woman cook is really good, some hotel-grade taste, probably learned it somewhere, it’d be a waste not to eat it, this meal cost thirty thousand!" Jiang Xiuqing thought about the money and felt heartache, eating mouthful after mouthful.

She decided not to be frugal anymore, saving for her own family only for that money to benefit others instead—isn’t it like what people say, everyone has a set amount they need to spend; if you save it, there’ll be other large unwelcome expenses waiting, so when you can spend, just spend, don’t overthink it, sometimes it’s just when you’ve saved up a lot, some accident empties it all.

Ye Qiu and the others thought that today marked the end of their troubles with Gao Yanyan, not anticipating she had more moves. Since renting a place upstairs, Ye Qiu’s family often ran into her, and she would just stand there on the verge of tears, looking at them like they did something wrong to her.

Even Jiang Xiuqing complained: "With such good acting skills, why doesn’t she just go act? I’m sure she’d win an award."

Then she scolded Ye Qiu: "It’s all because of the trouble you stirred up, what if it affects Xinrui?"

Ye Qiu gritted his teeth: "She doesn’t have much money, she can’t afford to live for long, at worst, we’ll move."

"Move? To where?"

"I’ve been looking at a villa recently, mom, aren’t you usually free? I saw the villa has a big yard, you could garden there, with all the pollution in store vegetables, home-grown ones would be better for the kids."

"That sounds good." Jiang Xiuqing clapped her hands, but then frowned, "But villas are expensive, right?"

"It is a bit, but I picked that area because the elementary school there is good for Xinrui, better quality than here, think of it as for the children’s future, even if we’re low on funds, we can take out a loan. Since having Xiao Ya’s help, the company’s been doing much better, the future profits look promising."

Mei Ya glanced at him again, witnessing his ability to lie with his eyes wide open. What’s this about her helping the company improve? There wasn’t much trouble to begin with, and the recent increase in orders was due to his designs.

Yet his words made her mother-in-law value her even more, which warmed her heart.

Although Jiang Xiuqing favored her son over daughters, she had raised her granddaughter from a young age to now, and under Mei Ya’s teaching, she’s very polite, unlike other kids in her hometown, thus Jiang Xiuqing cares deeply for her. Hearing her son say buying a villa is for the child’s well-being, she naturally didn’t object.

"Then go ahead and buy it, the sooner the better, plus that Gao Yanyan seems to have bad intentions, better she doesn’t snare us one day."

Jiang Xiuqing once liked Gao Yanyan a lot, but now dislikes her heavily, wondering why such a nice-looking girl chose to do such immoral deeds that ruin families.

What she couldn’t predict was that those wealthy men Gao Yanyan once associated with had long seen her true colors, each avoiding her. Now, Ye Qiu was her most viable option to latch onto; she’s fed up being poor, tired of others’ strange looks. For the sake of a future rich and comfortable life, what are these small setbacks now?

Moreover, she believed Ye Qiu still had old feelings for her, that his words that day were just because his wife was there. She had done her homework, and Ye Qiu’s wife was no ordinary person; Ye Qiu’s achievements today couldn’t have been made without her help. He likely felt stifled by her dominance long ago.

She was determined not to give up easily and was going to find an opportunity to approach Ye Qiu when Mei Ya wasn’t around, even if Ye Qiu ended up splitting his assets with Mei Ya after marriage, Ye Qiu was still the wealthiest person she could currently engage with.

It’s about making things happen; she refused to believe Ye Qiu wouldn’t take the bait, and if things got tough, she’d have to...
