Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1644 - 1633: The Villain’s Foster Mother
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
Ye Chuqing watched her mom bustling in the kitchen, hurriedly closing the books she’d been flipping through. She didn’t dare to ask, because she knew if she did, her mom would just say those words she didn’t really mean.
"Xinhe, I feel so happy," Ye Chuqing sent a happy message to her good friend Li Xinhe after returning to her room.
Li Xinhe replied, "I know you’re about to achieve your dream, you don’t have to keep telling me!"
"I mean, I’m happy to have such a great mom." Ye Chuqing rolled around on her bed, "I can’t believe mom actually read books about being an agent for me. I really misunderstood her before."
"You’re making me almost envious." Li Xinhe was genuinely happy for her friend. In the past, when her friend felt aggrieved at home, she had also been indignant for her, but now it seemed they had been too young. Aunt Ye didn’t not love Chuqing, she just kept her love in her heart and didn’t know how to express it.
"What do you mean envious, doesn’t Aunt Zhao love you?" Ye Chuqing responded with a laugh, then firmly said, "I have to work even harder in the future so as not to let mom’s efforts be in vain."
"Oh my, you think you’re not working hard enough already?" Li Xinhe gasped, "Don’t push yourself too much."
"I won’t, I now feel like studying is happiness. I won’t talk anymore, I have to read and do some exercises."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Li Xinhe typed with exhaustion. She never wanted to move once she returned to her room, not knowing where her friend got so much energy. But maybe she was just too lazy? Her friend was working so hard to become an actress, if she continued to be lazy, wouldn’t she fall behind her friend’s pace?
Li Xinhe thought for a moment, lying around browsing Weibo had no benefits. She shouldn’t waste her precious time; although her parents earned more money than Aunt Ye, it didn’t come easy. She should learn from her friend.
Mr. Li and Mother Li noticed their daughter had spent much less time playing recently. They thought she was just inspired by some motivational talk, but when she kept up her study efforts throughout the winter break, they were delighted and genuinely grateful to Ye Chuqing for inspiring their daughter. They figured that people influence each other, whether it’s good or bad habits, and they were optimistic about these two sisters vowing to enter the entertainment circle together.
As the New Year approached, various film crews gradually began to go on break. The actors and staff who usually looked forward to these breaks felt a bit reluctant this time, not because of the work, but because of Ye Qiu’s culinary skills.
"Sister Ye, we’re going to miss your cooking. What should we do?" Director Duan, reluctantly, grabbed a piece of Braised Pork Belly with tearful eyes.
Even the nearby Oscar winner Chen Huawen and the lead actress Xu Yin felt the same. Over time, they had discovered that no matter how much they ate of Sister Ye’s dishes, they wouldn’t gain weight. This was a blessing for those who regularly dieted. Leaving Sister Ye meant not just missing good food, but not being able to eat at all, right?
"I’m still in this city and not leaving immediately. If you want to eat, just come over anytime," Ye Qiu said with a smile, hesitating before speaking her mind, "I’ve gotten some rather good ingredients these past few days. Would you like to come to my house as guests? Consider it a thank you for taking care of me recently. Don’t worry, it’s a private gathering, I won’t tell anyone else, and freshly cooked food will definitely taste better than when it’s already been made and brought over."
Having originally bought tickets for tonight, upon hearing Ye Qiu’s offer, everyone was tempted. Honestly, few people can resist good food, especially with cooking skills like Ye Qiu’s. If not now, then when? The filming in the studio had wrapped up, and they wouldn’t be coming back after the New Year. Who knew when the next visit would be?
Especially since Ye Qiu said freshly cooked is better than takeout, everyone was even more tempted. If the takeaway was already so delicious, how amazing would it be freshly made?
"Ahem... I couldn’t get a ticket for tonight, so why refuse this offer?" Xu Yin was the first to agree. Over time, she found that not only did she not gain weight from Sister Ye’s food, but her complexion had also become much better. She’d wanted to ask Sister Ye for cooking tips, but since it’s her livelihood, everyone has their secrets, asking would be inappropriate. Meanwhile, one more meal is one more meal.
Her agent glanced blankly at his artist, not able to get a ticket? Ha, what do you pay the team for? But since his artist agreed to have dinner, he could join in too, which wasn’t a bad thought.
Director Duan certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity. He loves to eat and knows how to appreciate good food. He couldn’t miss it when Ye Qiu mentioned special ingredients. As for going home for New Year’s, he’d just bring some homemade pastries by Sister Ye, no one at home would complain.
But Oscar winner Chen Huawen hesitated because he had upcoming commitments. Before he could speak, Sister Hong answered for him: "The interview can be rescheduled. I’ll take care of it."
Chen Huawen chuckled softly. At first, she didn’t let him eat so much, and now she can’t resist? Sister Ye’s cooking really seems magical. If he had the time, he’d visit every day.
After everything was agreed upon, Ye Qiu went to prepare, while Director Duan and the others discussed giving Ye Qiu a red envelope. Although she invited them to eat, they couldn’t show up empty-handed.
"Sister Ye probably won’t accept a red envelope, but I heard she has a daughter, maybe we could give it to her daughter?"
"That’s a good idea, but how much should it be?"
"With Sister Ye’s amazing culinary skills, it can’t be a small amount. How about this?" Director Duan gestured a number.
Xu Yin and Chen Huawen had no objections. While it might be pricey for regular homemade dishes, Sister Ye’s skills were worth every bit.
At that moment, Ye Chuqing, fresh from her tutoring class, had no idea her mom was about to give her a big surprise. When Chen Huawen and the others rang the doorbell, and Ye Qiu asked her to answer it, she was dumbstruck seeing these familiar faces from the news.
"Chen... Chen Yingdi? Xu Yin? Director Duan?"
"Oh, young lady, you recognize me?" Director Duan’s big beard wiggled as he gave a very friendly smile.
"How come you all?" Ye Chuqing hurriedly let them in, her mind still blank.
"Your mom invited us over. She didn’t tell you?" Xu Yin kindly gave her a hug, making Ye Chuqing even more bewildered. Since when did her mom have such influence to invite these entertainment bigwigs?
