Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life

Chapter 1139 - 1128: Favoring Daughters Over Sons

Before the ceremony began, Ye Qiu already knew Ye Qing was here, but he only went to see her after the guests had left. When he saw the man beside her, his gaze deepened.

"Who is this?" He asked with a slightly squinted eye, his tone betraying no unusual emotion.

"Oh, this is a friend I just met. His name is Cao Wentao." Ye Qing merrily explained to him, but inwardly she was a bit apprehensive. During her chat with Cao Wentao earlier, she had not revealed her poor relationship with Ye Qiu but rather played the role of a big sister. She was afraid of Ye Qiu showing any abnormality, so she dared not speak much.

Cao Wentao was quite forward, handing Ye Qiu his business card: "I’ve heard a lot about Mr. Ye. I wonder when I might have the opportunity to invite you for tea?"

"I’m going on a honeymoon, so I probably won’t have time for a while." Ye Qiu coldly declined, then smiled apologetically, "I have a lot of things to sort out next, so I won’t keep you any longer."

Cao Wentao’s expression suddenly became a bit awkward. He glanced at Ye Qing and smiled politely, "Understandable, understandable. Then I will take my leave, Mr. Cao."

"Safe travels."

As soon as he left, Ye Qing couldn’t help but question: "What do you mean by that?"

Ye Qiu didn’t even want to look at her, but he stopped to patiently explain: "This Cao Wentao is deliberately approaching you. He’s not a good candidate for a husband."

"What, so someone who abandons his family just for his wife, like you, is a good choice?" Ye Qing retorted angrily, instinctively feeling that Ye Qiu was deliberately belittling others.

What exactly was wrong with Wentao? He spoke nicely, yet Ye Qiu wouldn’t even give him a business card, so forcefully sending him away—what kind of hospitality is that?

She darkly thought to herself, perhaps Ye Qiu already knew of Wentao’s exceptional talents and future grandeur, afraid that if she got close to Wentao, she might surpass him in the future. Out of fear and jealousy, he deliberately sowed discord.

Faced with Ye Qing’s suspicion and questioning, Ye Qiu was unwilling to explain further because she had always been accustomed to acting on her own from a young age, and would never heed his words, considering he was always looked down upon by her. Perhaps in her heart, his words were seen as attempts to harm her.

"Believe me or not, anyway, I’m warning you today, Cao Wentao is not someone to entrust your life to, he’s deliberately approaching you because of me."

"You really think highly of yourself. Wentao is no worse than you. What makes you say he’s deliberately approaching you?" Ye Qing sarcastically rebuffed.

"Believe it or not, this is my sincere last warning to you as your blood-related brother." Ye Qiu was about to leave after saying this.

Ye Qing couldn’t help but scowl: "I’ve come all the way to attend your wedding, aren’t you going to invite me to your house?"

"There are no spare rooms at home. I’ve booked a room at this hotel just now, you can move in anytime."

Ye Qing gritted her teeth in anger but ultimately said nothing, as she finally began to gradually realize this brother was no longer someone she could control at will.

She watched the staff cleaning up the venue, unable to resist the envy, jealousy, and heartbreak. Just the flowers and fabric alone must have cost a fortune, not to mention the fact that he not only refused wedding gifts but also distributed reception gifts to everyone. How much would that even cost?

Is it really worth it for that He Xixian?

She was his own sister, yet he could arrange jobs for his cousins, why wouldn’t he care for his own sister?

He had so much money, yet he was so stingy towards her. She only used a bit of his pocket money as a child, only made him run some errands, was that enough to make him resent it up to now?

Other brothers always pampered their sisters, why was it different for him?

Ye Qing couldn’t make sense of it, but those with a keen sense like Ye Zhe or Han Kun understood it all too well. If they knew Ye Qing’s internal doubts, they wouldn’t hold back their mockery.

Was it just a bit of pocket money? Was it just making him run errands?

Anyone who was your brother would truly be unlucky, not only were your parents turning a blind eye to your bullying, you deliberately ruined your brother’s image in front of family and outsiders, even trying to determine his future, attempt to ruin his relationship, who wouldn’t feel hurt by that?

Is this how a sister behaves?

Other brothers pamper their sisters because the sisters are worth it, because the sisters also love their brothers dearly! Different from you, who only knows exploitation.

But even if someone were to say this to her, she would probably dismiss it just the same, for she had long been spoiled, accustomed to issuing orders, centered on herself, in any case, no matter what, it was always others’ fault, she herself was never wrong.

"Did you argue?" He Xixian hadn’t come out just now, and upon seeing Ye Qiu return, she asked worriedly.

"No." Ye Qiu shook his head, "Don’t worry too much now that you’re pregnant. However, she did introduce someone to me just now, which nearly sparked another argument."

"Is there a problem with that person?"

"Yes, he’s deliberately approaching her, but my well-intended warning was mistaken for ill intent."

"What if your sister is deceived?"

"I’ve already warned her, if she doesn’t believe me, there’s nothing more I can do. Don’t worry, thinking he can cooperate with my company through Ye Qing, he thinks it’s so easy." Ye Qiu scoffed, recalling his past life.

In the previous life, Cao Wentao was exactly his brother-in-law, only before their marriage, Cao Wentao’s company had already gone bankrupt, leaving not much debt. He was handsome and quite talented at playing the part, quickly capturing the heart of his sister, Ye Qing, even earning the satisfaction of his parents.

But all his virtues were an act before marriage; after marriage, his lazy, arrogant, and selfish nature was thoroughly exposed.

Ye Peilin and Han Hui regretted it, even considering divorce for Ye Qing, but Ye Qing herself was unwilling, especially she became pregnant timely, they couldn’t possibly let their now-older pregnant daughter abort, so they bore with it.

To ensure their daughter had a comfortable life, they nearly spent all the family’s savings on them. Moreover, because Ye Qing couldn’t cook, and Cao Wentao wouldn’t either, they purchased a house for them in their neighborhood so they could eat at home every day.

With three more added to their home, the one who suffered most back then was Ye Qiu, nearly all the chores fell on him, and because Ye Peilin and Han Hui’s salaries basically went to Ye Qing’s family, everyday essentials and groceries were all borne by Ye Qiu, especially since that family of three didn’t skimp. After meals, they would take snacks and fruits home, leaving Ye Qiu’s salary almost entirely spent on them.

It can be said that Ye Qiu in his last life was thoroughly exploited by them, yet received no kindness, frequently criticized for being useless.
