Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1660 - 1649: The Villain’s Foster Mother

"Why did you take the agent license exam?" Chuqing looked into Ye Qiu’s eyes, appearing very stubborn, as if she must get an answer.

Ye Qiu didn’t hide anymore and answered truthfully, "Because you said you wanted to be an actress."

At this moment, Chuqing was touched, her throat moved, she was even a bit choked up.

After a while, she asked again, "Since you care about me, why haven’t you contacted me once this past year?"

"Can I not say?"

"But I want to hear the truth."

"Your parents didn’t want me to contact you. After all, I brought you into my life in that way, and they don’t want me to have any more contact with you or wish you to have any emotional attachment to me."

"They said it, so it is? When did you, with your temperament, start listening to what others say?" Chuqing said, holding in a flame of anger.

"Because I think it could be better for your future if we don’t have contact."

"You think? Everything is about what you think. You’ve always ordered me around since I was a child, never willing to listen to my opinion. How could you make such a decision privately?"

Chuqing let out a cold laugh and continued, "Or did you take money from the Zhou Family and therefore only listen to them? If that’s the case, why did you deceive me into signing a contract roundaboutly?"

"Taking money?" Ye Qiu opened her mouth, "Are you talking about the child support your parents gave me? I didn’t take it, how could I? Plus, I never expected this studio to develop so quickly. If there weren’t some achievements, I wouldn’t have you come and sign with another company without my peace of mind."

No money taken?

Chuqing was stunned, so why did her parents tacitly agree when she asked them before?

Soon, she gradually understood, her parents intentionally let her misunderstand this woman, didn’t they? They just didn’t want her to have any involvement with her again?

Thinking of how long she had misunderstood, Chuqing felt uncomfortable, especially during that time she constantly resented her for not even making a single phone call.

Unexpectedly, the final result was not her cruelty but her own heartlessness, the woman acted according to her parents’ instructions for her benefit, couldn’t she make a call instead?

Remorse and self-reproach intertwined in Chuqing’s mind, making her unable to forgive herself. Especially after finding out that the woman did so much because she wanted to be an actress, she felt even more ashamed.

A middle-aged woman suddenly studying and taking exams for her must have been difficult! She didn’t need to think to know the hardships involved, not to mention that conditions were poor then, requiring her to study while running a stall.

Chuqing’s eyes suddenly reddened. The woman did so much for her, yet she never understood, always misunderstanding her, even speaking mockingly just now.

As Chuqing felt she couldn’t forgive herself, the woman spoke again, "I know fostering you privately at the start was my mistake. If you still don’t want to see me, I’ll never appear before you again. But I hope you continue this contract; no other company would offer such good conditions. Don’t you love acting? The company will arrange various roles for you, and you can choose not to attend other activities if you don’t want to."

"Who said I don’t want to see you again?" Chuqing raised her red eyes, shouting, "Can you stop being so self-righteous?"

"I..." Ye Qiu sighed heavily, her face very pale, seemingly very remorseful, "I’m sorry, Chuqing."

Seeing her like this, Chuqing felt even worse inside. She didn’t expect her words could hurt the woman so deeply. Isn’t she just like the woman before, always saying the most hurtful things to those closest?

"I’m sorry." Chuqing suddenly apologized because she realized she couldn’t make the same mistake as the woman.

Sure enough, hearing these words, Ye Qiu’s eyes turned a bit agitated, even somewhat flustered, "Chuqing, you haven’t eaten my cooking in a while, right? There’s a kitchen nearby, how about I cook for you?"

"Mm."

"Then you wait here for a while, I’ll be quick."

Chuqing watched the woman leave. She didn’t expect their identities to reverse at some moment; she used to speak to the woman so cautiously.

"You two finally reconciled?" Ye Mu peeked in after quietly opening the door, beaming at Chuqing, "Can I come in?"

Seeing him again made Chuqing flinch. She always called him brother, but isn’t he her uncle?

"Uncle." Chuqing calmly addressed, almost tripping Ye Mu.

"Did I call wrong?" Chuqing’s indifferent gaze swept over.

"No, no." Ye Mu waved his hand, "Just didn’t expect you’d change how you address me so quickly."

"So, were you intentionally getting close to me when we were at the set?"

"Of course, your mom didn’t want to reveal it so soon. I was only testing if you’d sign with us when you agreed. We planned to give you resources even if you didn’t sign."

Chuqing’s heart moved slightly, "If I hadn’t stumbled in earlier, was she planning never to show herself?"

"Not forever, just hiding as long as possible, dear niece. Your mom really cares for you a lot." Ye Mu gave a thumbs-up, "You don’t know, the jobs I’m taking now, are all to gather resources and connections for you!"

Hearing Ye Mu speak so earnestly, Chuqing’s heart was once again deeply moved, but her tone changed, "You’re my uncle, shouldn’t you call me niece? Why call me dear niece? Didn’t you study?"

"Hey, how can you make personal attacks? I just like calling you dear niece." It was because Little Wood Spirit met Ye Qiu when Ye Qiu was a man; if Ye Qiu were still a man in this lifetime, wouldn’t it be dear niece? He felt calling her niece seemed closer.

"Whatever you call me." Chuqing didn’t care much about this. She was more concerned about Ye Qiu and didn’t feel like talking much.

Ye Mu, however, kept chattering on the side, "Your mother and daughter’s personalities really do resemble each other. By the way, how have you been at the Zhou Family?"

"Not bad."

"Not bad is good, at least Ye Qiu’s patience hasn’t been in vain. But now you’ve reconnected with Ye Qiu, if the Zhou Family finds out, I’m afraid there could be trouble."

Chuqing frowned, "As long as I don’t say, they won’t know."

"That’s not necessarily the case. Isn’t your sister also in the entertainment industry? You’re all in the same circle, eventually it could come out."

Chuqing pursed her lips, "I’m an adult now, I can decide for myself even when signing contracts."

Ye Mu chuckled, "Listening to you, it’s hard to tell if you’re unafraid of the Zhou Family’s interference or the Zhou Family doesn’t manage you much."

Chuqing thought, perhaps it’s a bit of both! But it’s not important.
