Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life

Chapter 1154 - 1143: When the Daughter Is the Side Character and the Younger Sister Is the Protagonist

"Where’s Xiao Yun?" Ye Qiu looked around and didn’t see her younger sister, so she asked.

Mei Chunli immediately smiled somewhat sheepishly, "That girl probably stayed up late watching TV again last night and is still sleeping in. Don’t worry about her, let’s eat first."

Ye Qiu nodded casually, then shifted her gaze back to Aunt Mei, but soon looked away again. Although she was suspicious, she didn’t think that the person who would harm her and her daughter would be this unremarkable, timid, and fearful stepmother.

Back then, Ye Fu was unwilling to marry her because their statuses were too different. Ye Fu feared marrying her would be a source of ridicule. If it hadn’t been for her pregnancy at the time and Ye Qiu persuading him not to harm an innocent child, Mei Chunli wouldn’t have been able to enter this household.

Perhaps aware that she wasn’t well-received, since marrying into the family, she had been cautiously serving Ye Fu and Ye Qiu, treating Ye Shu, her "cheap" granddaughter, even better than her own daughter, Ye Yun.

Not only that, she had been teaching her daughter not to compete with Ye Qiu and Ye Shu since childhood. It was precisely this submissive attitude that led Ye Fu to become more tolerant of her in the past couple of years.

Ye Fu was often in poor health, and Mei Chunli used to be a caregiver, able to take good care of people, so Ye Qiu respected her. Such a timid person, Ye Qiu didn’t believe she had the courage or means to commit harm.

It seems that this matter cannot be rushed; take it one step at a time, and one day the enemy will show their true colors.

"How is the company doing lately?" Ye Fu asked routinely after breakfast.

"Quite well, the factory is in full operation, and the advertisements have been invested. We just need to wait for next month’s new product launch."

Ye Fu nodded in satisfaction at this, "I trust your work, but you’re not young anymore. Have you considered finding a father for Xiao Shu?"

"No, I haven’t." Ye Qiu shook her head while wiping her mouth. "Who knows what those men are after? My goal is to enlarge the company, and Xiao Shu is already the heir, so there’s no need to do anything unnecessary."

"I don’t want to force you, it’s just that having someone to care for you is always better. If it wasn’t for your Aunt Mei, I’d still be in the nursing home." Ye Fu said with a slight smile at Mei Chunli. He was once bold and powerful in his youth, but now approaching old age, with deteriorating health, he had become softer.

Ye Qiu also smiled, "I’m very happy and reassured that you have Aunt Mei taking care of you. However, our situations are different. Don’t worry, if I really meet someone suitable, I won’t resist."

"As long as you’re aware."

"I’m off to work now, and I’ll take Xiao Shu to kindergarten on the way. Dad, Aunt Mei, take your time eating."

Upon hearing her big sister leave, Ye Yun dared to come out. She didn’t know why, even though her big sister had always treated her well, she was still afraid. Maybe it’s just a clash of energies!

Nevertheless, she genuinely admired her sister, who was twenty-two years older. Since taking over the company, she had rapidly advanced, even expanding the business into other fields. Before her rebirth, her big sister’s personal wealth had already ranked among the top five female entrepreneurs in the country.

Her big sister was very shrewd, and Ye Yun feared that she wouldn’t be able to hide her intentions in front of her, so she deliberately lingered until now to come out. After all, she wasn’t truly an eight-year-old child; with all the experiences from her previous life, she needed time to adjust.

"See you, only getting up now, your niece has already gone to school. You can’t just be lazy on summer vacation!" Mei Chunli tapped her daughter’s nose, seeming somewhat reproachful.

Ye Yun looked at her mother, feeling a mix of emotions she couldn’t quite express.

She experienced so much in her past life, especially after her father passed away and her sister took control, although her sister continued to treat her and her mom well, due to her mom’s past as a caregiver and her lack of inheritance of company shares, they faced ridicule from outsiders.

Sometimes, she wondered if her mom had been born into a more prestigious background, would her father not have always ignored her?

She was also her father’s daughter, why did she have such a huge gap with her sister? Even when she excelled a bit academically, her mom would ask her to be humble. What’s there to hide? Could she possibly be better than her sister?

Even with better grades than her sister back then, would her father pay attention? Her father only ever took her sister into account, the daughter he had with his first wife. Ye Yun was merely an accident in this world.

A child’s mind is always sensitive, so whether in her past life or this one, Ye Yun never became close to her father, who was fifty years older.

Ye Yun resented her mother, Mei Chunli, for her meekness and constant appeasement, and also hated her father for ignoring her, envying her sister’s superiority. In this family, the person closest to her turned out to be her niece, only four years younger.

Thinking about her niece, Ye Yun’s eyes softened. In her past life, while mocked by those aristocratic sons and daughters, her niece was the only one who always protected her. Their relationship resembled that of close friends rather than aunt and niece.

"Come on, Mom, it’s summer vacation, what’s wrong with me sleeping in a bit?" Ye Yun mumbled to her mom’s reproach, mainly because Ye Fu was present, preventing her from being too bold.

At this, Ye Fu also put down the newspaper with a doting smile, "Xiao Yun is still young, don’t be too hard on her. If you don’t play while you’re young, you’ll have no time when you’re older."

The words seemed well-intentioned, yet Ye Yun felt uncomfortable. Since her father didn’t care for her or expect much from her future, he considered it irrelevant whether she studied well or not. In his mind, this ’cheap’ youngest daughter should ideally never pose a threat to her sister and should just lead a simple life.

However, even though both were children, her four-year-old niece Ye Shu had already started learning everything: foreign languages, musical instruments, etiquette, none left unstudied. This was simply because her niece was the heir, and she wasn’t, meaning there was no need for her to strive.

But she just wanted to ask, why? Why must she be ordinary? Even if she couldn’t inherit the family business, wasn’t she allowed to excel?

It’s precisely because her family treated her with such indulgence that people continued to mock her in her past life.

This life, she won’t waste time like that again. Her life belongs to her, her destiny too. She doesn’t need to inherit the family business to avoid falling into depravity. As the second daughter of the Ye Family, even without stakes in the family industry, she has considerable money and connections. Can’t she start her own business in the future?

However, she doesn’t dare show these thoughts now. She doesn’t possess ambition, but what if her father and sister suspect her? Wouldn’t her rebirth be in vain?

Her return isn’t to waste time and life; she wants to become an even more successful businesswoman than her big sister!
