Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1649 - 1638: The Villain’s Foster Mother
Previously on Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life...
Early the next day, the Zhou family’s car arrived. Ye Chuqing had been packing things in a flurry all night, and only managed to pack one box, half of which was filled with books she needed for her studies.
Ye Qiu sat on the sofa, seeming not to have any intention of getting up.
Ye Chuqing stood at the door and said, "You’re not even going to see me off?"
"There’s nothing to see off. These years, I’ve been selfish and sorry to you. Once you return to the Zhou family, your life will be back on track. You should take care from now on; if you need me to contact any directors or actors, you can call me anytime."
Ye Chuqing pursed her lips: "Is this all you have to say to me?"
She was very disappointed. Could she only call when needed? Was she not needed at any other time?
"Go now; they’re waiting for you downstairs."
With that, Ye Chuqing said nothing more. She took a deep look at Ye Qiu’s back, then went downstairs with red eyes.
With one fewer person, the already quiet home became even quieter. Ye Qiu sat on the sofa for a long time before finally getting up to cook, as if nothing had happened.
Little Wood Spirit snuck out from the space and asked, confused, "You clearly have feelings for your little niece, so why are you so ruthless to send her back to the Zhou family? Are you perhaps afraid of a mundane wealthy family?"
"You don’t understand." Ye Qiu explained while washing vegetables, "Blood relations are valued in society. The original person of this body was wrong about it anyway. This world values legality, and letting Ye Chuqing go back with the Zhou family is the best solution."
"Tsk, making it so complicated. I say, isn’t your task in this world too boring? What’s the meaning of doing such tasks?"
"Perhaps it’s for me to experience the various aspects of life?"
"Then what do you plan to do afterwards? Are you really not going to contact your little niece for a lifetime? Just let her be pulled away by the Zhou family?"
"Of course not." Ye Qiu chopped the cutting board with a firm sound. "I’ve raised this daughter for so long, how could I just return her to the Zhou family? If I didn’t speak to Chuqing ambiguously before, how would she realize that I truly love her? Really didn’t take a penny from the Zhou family? Besides, the Zhou family obviously likes the elder daughter more. When Zhou Linxia enters the entertainment circle, the difference will show, and then we’ll take our resources to your big niece."
"Humans are so complex, turning a simple thing into so many curves, but now that the big niece is gone, can we go out and play?"
"Play what? Play where with no money? Earn money first."
"We have so many valuable items in the space, can’t we just sell some to have money?"
"How would I explain the origin of these items to Chuqing later on? Plus, it’s not just about having money in the bank card in this world; one also needs connections. Only through gradually making money and growing can we accumulate more connections and let others know how capable you are."
"Troublesome." Little Wood Spirit muttered, but didn’t stop anymore. It wasn’t forced into the juvenile stage or needing to meditate to restore memory and cultivation like Little Golden Crow was. Having not traveled to many worlds, it was very curious about this world lacking Spiritual Energy. Now that Ye Chuqing had left, it insisted on coming out and wouldn’t go back. If Ye Qiu needed to earn money, couldn’t it go out to play? Instantly, it transformed into a youth with handsome and delicate features.
"Big niece wants to enter the entertainment industry, right? I’ll go ahead and lay a solid foundation for her."
"You have no residency or identification."
"Can’t you help me set one up? Money can make ghosts push mills, and I believe you can do it."
Ye Qiu’s lips twitched, but eventually nodded in agreement, since they felt Little Wood Spirit’s idea was actually quite good. Especially after transforming into a youth, Little Wood Spirit looked fresh and handsome, particularly with that transparent aura that never failed to captivate people, surely to be in demand in the entertainment industry.
"Then you’ll be called Ye Mu from now on, and for your identity, you’re the illegitimate son of my useless deceased father from outside his marriage, coming to seek help from me because you were driven to hopelessness by creditors chasing after you."
Ye Mu had no objections to this identity, and after eating Ye Qiu’s meal, immediately went out to the mall with his inviting face. The two were surprised when Ye Mu’s first job in the entertainment industry came so quickly.
On the other side, Ye Chuqing sat in the Zhou family’s luxurious car, silently gazing out the window with apparently many thoughts.
Liu Mei Qin held her hand and said, "I know you’re reluctant to part with your foster mother, but as I’ve heard, she’s only been good to you for this past year. Qingqing, if you really have feelings for her, you can visit her when you have time in the future. Don’t dwell excessively; let me introduce some family matters to you, okay?"
"Mm." Ye Chuqing finally responded, which brought Liu Meiqing, Zhou Wanghui, and Zhou Linxia a sigh of relief.
"The driver is your father, Zhou Wanghui, and in the front passenger seat is your older sister, Zhou Linxia. She’s two years older than you. As for me, your mom, I’m Liu Meiqing. Apart from the four of us, there’s no one else at home. Qingqing, you may not believe it, but we originally gave you the nickname Qingqing, such a coincidence."
"Qingqing, you’re in your senior year of high school now, right? If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I’ve got a lot of notes on the twelfth grade, too." Zhou Linxia turned her head and smiled at Ye Chuqing.
Ye Chuqing finally softened her expression and honestly thanked her, even if she didn’t need those notes; she couldn’t just reject others’ goodwill so simply.
"Qingqing, your skin is so good; how do you usually take care of it?" As they conversed, the three women transitioned to womanly topics, with Zhou Linxia gazing enviously at Ye Chuqing.
Given that the family was not short on money, they had many interactions from a young age. Though only barely twenty years old, Zhou Linxia placed considerable importance on aspects regarding Tiger Talisman, and compared to the average person, her skin could be said to be baby-like soft and smooth.
However, compared to Ye Chuqing, she fell short. Her skin was pale but not like Ye Chuqing’s healthy rosy glow, akin to the light of a moon hidden away year-round. Zhou Linxia’s skin was smooth, but Ye Chuqing’s truly resembled skin like Jello; in the sunlight coming through the car window, fine hairs could be seen, radiating youthful health.
Before focusing on piano studies, Zhou Linxia had also learned dance, but ultimately gave it up due to her height. If only her legs were a few centimeters longer like her sister’s.
