Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life

Chapter 1177 - 1166: When the Daughter Is the Supporting Character and the Sister Is the Protagonist

"What exactly have you done to Ye Qiu? Speak!" Zhang Shengnian was usually quite gentle, but that was when his foundation wasn’t shaken. The Zhang Group had been passed down from his grandfather’s generation, and he had sworn an oath when his father passed away, that the company would never fall into decline under his watch.

But what happened? He had just started to slowly hand over the company to his son, only to suffer such a heavy blow. How could he not be angry?

Ye Yun had never faced such a situation and was quite startled, whereas Zhang Beichen was a bit calmer, "Dad, you can’t blame us for this. That Ye Qiu falsely accused people, and are we not allowed to find evidence against it?"

"What you say she falsely accused someone of is about your mother-in-law getting jailed for attempted murder, right?" Mrs. Zhang sneered, "I’ve looked into it, the evidence and witnesses are all there. How can you say it was Ye Qiu who claimed the police falsely accused someone?"

"It was a false accusation, I know Xiao Yun’s mom, she wouldn’t do such a thing." Zhang Beichen argued.

"You know? How long have you been with her, and what do you know? For the sake of family property, even the kindest and most amicable people can do malicious things. You guys are completely messing around!"

"We did not."

"Didn’t you? Why don’t you tell us how many stupid things you did to find evidence? Even attempted kidnapping, you hid it so well, and even Old Master Ye cleaned up after you. Do you think Ye Qiu is dead?"

"We were just trying to find evidence!"

"Find evidence? Can you commit a crime just for some elusive evidence? This is crime, you need to go to jail, do you know that?" Zhang Shengnian looked at his son with deep disappointment. He had thought his son would outshine, and now disregards the law—did all those years of education go to waste?

With that remark, both Zhang Beichen and Ye Yun felt a little scared. Previously, they thought they kept things secret, but did their father/father-in-law actually cover for them?

So now Ye Qiu seeks revenge on the Zhang Group because of those things? Yet she bore no real harm to her, why such a fuss?

"Dad, then we will go apologize to Eldest Lady Xiao Yun. If she is willing to resolve this peacefully, that’s good. If not, our Zhang Group is not so easy to take down. Dad, Mom, trust me." Zhang Beichen said with resolve.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang felt reassured to see him respond so quickly. Truly, he’s the son they’ve painstakingly raised, calm and responsible.

However, looking at their daughter-in-law, Ye Yun, the couple showed no kind expression, especially Mrs. Zhang. She always felt Ye Yun was not worthy of her son, and now that Ye Yun brought such a huge problem to the family, she felt even more annoyed, even plotting how to make her son dislike his wife and lead to a smooth divorce.

Having been a lady of status for so many years, she’s been through a lot. She knew if she forced a divorce, her son wouldn’t agree. She had to take things slowly; after all, her son was still young; there was no rush.

Feeling her mother-in-law’s gaze, Ye Yun felt uneasy, and she couldn’t help resenting Ye Qiu. Why go against her at this time? Couldn’t she just let her have a little peace?

"Mom, Dad, I’ll go see my dad tomorrow if there’s nothing," she forced a smile, "my dad definitely won’t sit idly by."

Only then did the Zhang parents show her a nice expression, "You just need to know what to do."

However, when she went to visit Ye Changfeng at the nursing home the next day, she was stopped outside.

"What are you doing? I want to see my dad, on what grounds are you stopping me?" She asked fiercely, "Do you know who I am?"

"I’m sorry, Second Miss, this is the Eldest Lady’s order. Now the old master needs rest, and the doctor suggested nobody disturb him," the nurse said politely.

"I want to go in. Let’s see who dares stop me." Ye Yun rushed forward, quickly surrounded and restrained by several security guards.

The nurse smiled again, "Apologies, Second Miss, this is the Eldest Lady’s order. As the daughter of Old Master Ye, surely you wouldn’t want his condition to worsen?"

"This is an abuse of power. She has no right to stop me. I will sue her. Maybe my father wants to see me too!"

"Second Miss, the Eldest Lady said you can go ahead and sue if you want. The Ye Group’s lawyers are always ready."

"You!" Ye Yun trembled with anger. When had she been treated like this? At the same time, she felt deep fear because, even as a person with another chance at life, she was still no match for her sister.

On one hand, Ye Yun faced a shut door, and on the other hand, so did Zhang Beichen. He too was someone who had another chance at life, relying on future memories, not fearing the current plunge in Zhang Group’s stock price. After failing to meet, he boldly declared that he would make Ye Qiu regret this in the future!

"President, what should we do now?" After finishing her report, the secretary routinely asked Ye Qiu.

"Just follow the original plan, no need to show the Zhang family any courtesy," Ye Qiu replied without any emotional fluctuation, then went on to schedule a dinner with her daughter.

"Mom, I want to introduce you to someone," Ye Shu said somewhat shyly over the phone.

Ye Qiu chuckled lightly, "A boyfriend?"

"Mhm," Ye Shu responded, a bit embarrassed.

"You’re already twenty-one, having a boyfriend is normal. Bring him over," Ye Qiu said understandingly.

Yet, Ye Shu wasn’t happy. Instead, she hesitated, "Mom, he might not be what you expect."

"How come? Is he married?"

Ye Shu was startled, "Of course not! I’m not that kind of person. I mean, he’s not from our country."

"An overseas Chinese?"

"No, a pure native with golden hair and blue eyes," Ye Shu said cautiously, seemingly afraid of Ye Qiu’s opposition.

Ye Qiu chuckled lightly, "Don’t worry. I’m not old-fashioned. Having a foreign boyfriend is no problem. Just bring him over."

"But he’s a bit older than me," Ye Shu continued, her voice getting smaller.

Ye Qiu squinted, "How much older exactly?"

"Eight years," Ye Shu confessed on the phone, then held her breath, awaiting Ye Qiu’s response.

"Eight years, that’s a bit much!"

Ye Shu grew anxious, "But James treats me so well, Mom, eight years isn’t that big of a gap, right? Grandpa’s twenty years older than Granny Mei!"

"Can you compare your situation to theirs?" Ye Qiu frowned, "Fine, just bring him over for me to see."

Ye Qiu looked at the foreign man in front of her. According to him, he was some kind of nobleman, and he said if she allowed her daughter to marry him, he would gift her a castle and innumerable jewelry.

She pouted, feeling that the more she listened, the more it sounded like a scam. If not a scam, then a big fool.
