Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1555 - 1544: Scumbag Turns Over a New Leaf

"Mom, Dad, what is it? Why did you call Ye Qiu and me back in such a hurry? Did something happen?" Mei Ya was so anxious she didn’t notice anything unusual, looking very nervous.

Mei Ronghai and Li Baqin looked at Ye Qiu with anger and restraint, sighing deeply, "Take a look at this first. Ye Qiu, how do you explain this?"

Ye Qiu looked at the photo on the phone, and inwardly thought it was just as he suspected. He didn’t defend himself but calmly asked, "Mom, Dad, can you tell me how these things came about?"

Seeing that he was neither flustered nor trying to explain, the Mei family parents realized the situation might not be as they had imagined, and their expressions softened.

Only Zhao Yabo’s expression changed. He realized he had acted too hastily. Ye Qiu seemed so unperturbed, suggesting there might be more to the story, but he had tested that woman on the day in question, and her emotions seemed real, not fake!

"Yabo stumbled upon it by accident and brought it to us first so Xiao Ya wouldn’t be hurt," Li Baqin explained. "Don’t you have something to explain?"

"Explain what?" Mei Ya’s brow furrowed even more tightly, and she grabbed the phone from Ye Qiu’s hand. Her expression changed when she saw the photo. Although she was a bit angry, she didn’t lose her temper.

Usually, when a woman sees a photo of another woman related to her husband, she gets angry. Mei Ya’s calmness was unusual, especially since her parents called her back. This expression meant that she was either already divorced from Ye Qiu and emotionally detached or already aware of this person’s existence.

"It’s her!" Mei Ya showed a look of disdain. "Yabo, how do you know her?"

Zhao Yabo adjusted his expression and tentatively asked, "You know her too?"

"Yes, I know her." Mei Ya nodded.

Zhao Yabo decided to take a gamble, thinking that although Mei Ya knew this person, she might not know the true nature of her relationship with Ye Qiu. He said meaningfully, "I also have a recording here. Would you like to listen to it? You might see things differently after hearing it."

Then he looked at Ye Qiu and said, "Mr. Ye doesn’t mind, does he?"

Ye Qiu shrugged, smiling with provocation in his eyes, "Go ahead, I don’t care."

Mei Ronghai and his wife, Li Baqin, exchanged glances, feeling they might have misunderstood their son-in-law. But how to explain that recording?

Zhao Yabo couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t believe he’d misjudged people. That woman seemed genuinely close to Ye Qiu, and she didn’t appear to be lying. Could Ye Qiu have made up his mind to divorce long ago?

How ungrateful, not cherishing a good woman like Xiao Ya. Suddenly, he felt sorry for Xiao Ya. Did she know her husband was like this?

Everyone in the room wore different expressions as the recording began. The first question Zhao Yabo asked Gao Yanyan was, "Did you say you’re Ye Qiu’s first love?"

"Yes." Her voice carried sweetness, "I didn’t even know he had a crush on me in high school. Even though we missed each other for so many years, luckily we met again, and his feelings for me haven’t changed."

Seeing Mei Ya’s brows furrow even more, Zhao Yabo felt his suspicion was correct. It seemed Xiao Ya indeed didn’t know about this relationship between Ye Qiu and the woman.

"Are you together now? I heard he seems to have a wife." The recorded Zhao Yabo asked.

Gao Yanyan replied, "So what if he has a wife? The person he truly loves is me. I’ll wait for him to divorce."

"But he has a child. Wouldn’t he hesitate to divorce for the sake of the child?"

In the recording, Gao Yanyan sounded disdainful, "It’s just a daughter. His mother wants a grandson and has long been dissatisfied with his wife. I’ll give him one in the future."

"It’s such modern times, and there’s still a preference for boys over girls? I’m their neighbor, and they don’t seem like that!"

"People don’t reveal their true thoughts to outsiders, do they? You don’t understand. In rural areas, old ladies put a lot of emphasis on continuing the family line."

The recording ended there. It was unclear if the conversation ended or if Zhao Yabo didn’t release the rest. It was because of this that Mei Ronghai and Li Baqin urgently called them back to explain, fearing their daughter would be bullied and disadvantaged.

"Is that all?" The speaker wasn’t Ye Qiu, but the Mei Ya who should have been angry, which made the Mei family parents anxious and worried.

"What kind of reaction is that?"

"I actually knew about this long ago." Mei Ya frowned and explained, "This person’s name is Gao Yanyan. She is indeed Ye Qiu’s high school classmate and a crush from back then, but everything else is false. Ye Qiu didn’t cheat; it’s all her delusion."

Zhao Yabo clenched his fists, "How do you know what she said isn’t true? I just asked casually. Would a normal person imagine this?"

"A normal person wouldn’t tell a stranger she’s the mistress here to destroy someone else’s family," Ye Qiu sneered, "I thought Mr. Zhao was a smart person but didn’t expect you’d be deceived one day too."

"You..."

"What? Did I lie? Mr. Zhao, as a friend from Xiao Ya’s childhood, it’s natural for you to care about her. Let me explain today why it’s impossible between me and that woman."

Ye Qiu said while nodding to Mei Ronghai and Li Baqin, "I’m sorry this matter worried my father-in-law and mother-in-law, but I assure you I didn’t cheat. Even if I wanted to cheat, I’d need time, right? These days, I’m almost always with Xiao Ya. We go to work and come back together every day. After work, we eat, take our child to classes, or go for walks. Mr. Zhao, where would I find the time to cheat?"

"Who says cheating has to be physical? What about emotional cheating? Can you say there isn’t a shred of contact with that woman?"

"Here’s my phone; check it yourself?" Ye Qiu said, kindly unlocking the fingerprint lock, showing no fear of scrutiny.

"I’m not the police; how could I check you?" Zhao Yabo didn’t move, but his heart sank deeper.

"That’s enough." Mei Ya said angrily, "Yabo, I appreciate your concern, but you’re overthinking this. From the start, I knew how this woman, Gao Yanyan, tried to seduce Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu and I even warned her together. It’s because she wouldn’t stop harassing us that we decided to buy a house and move."

Listening to their daughter’s explanation, Mei Ronghai and Li Baqin felt relieved instantly. They thought Ye Qiu was reckless in past years, but recently he’d been correcting himself timely, and their daughter’s usual demeanor didn’t seem like someone having a troubled life. They truly misunderstood this time, and since it’s cleared up, it was all good.
