Chapter 241 - The Second Daughter Born Out of Favor
Chapter 242 of "Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life" commences with: Isnât Ye Qiu just a sophomore? How is she qualified to teach?Ye Xia listened in... Donât miss the next part!
Isnât Ye Qiu just a sophomore? How is she qualified to teach?
Ye Xia listened in a daze, her spirits somewhat flagging.
Wherever she went, there were students discussing Ye Qiu, the influential figureâa few praised her inventions as cutting-edge, others admired her intelligence and beauty. Coming from the students at Qing University, every word was full of praise, and everyone was proud that Ye Qiu was their alumni.
But Ye Qiu, she is her sister too!
If Ye Qiu hadnât run away from home back then, could she now also be basking in her sisterâs glory, admired by others? Could she have easily entered the national media? Would the rich second generation still look down on her like they do now? They would surely be fawning over her instead!
But now everything is ruined, and Ye Xia even started to blame their parents. If only they hadnât driven Ye Qiu out of their home? Then she could have also enjoyed Ye Qiuâs resources and wealth.
Maybe, she should apologize to her?
Wasnât she envious of her own large bed? Didnât she covet her own dresses? She could give all that to her, as long as Ye Qiu could help her get into the national media, she could have it all back.
Ye Xia learned from Qing University students about where Qing University had arranged residence for Ye Qiu, but with security and guards around, it was not accessible to just anyone. She could only wait anxiously outside.
She didnât have Ye Qiuâs contact information and didnât know if Ye Qiu would come back, but she had no other choice now. If she couldnât gain Ye Qiuâs support, then she would have no chance of getting into national media. Did she really have to go and flatter those rich second generations? Did she really have to resort to schemes and marry Du Jian?
No, she clearly had the opportunity to go further, she could live more freely, as long as Ye Qiu could help her.
"Ye Qiu!" As fate helps those who try hard, just when Ye Xia had waited for more than two hours and had started attracting the guardsâ attention, she finally saw Ye Qiuâs figure.
Upon hearing her, Ye Qiu turned her head, "See, I told you, when one day I become successful, the Ye Family will come begging to me."
"Ye Qiu, youâre back." Ye Xia ran up happily, delightedly looking at her sister, "Are you living here now? I wanted to come inside to find you, but the guards wouldnât let me. Itâs good that youâre back now."
"What?" Ye Qiu looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile, "You think just because Iâm back, Iâll let you in?"
Ye Xia gave an awkward smile, quickly took a breath as if she didnât catch the sarcasm in Ye Qiuâs words, and cheerfully said, "Ye Qiu, I came to apologize to you; letâs go inside and talk. Itâs hard to explain everything here outdoors."
"Whatâs there thatâs so hard to explain? Back then didnât you clearly explain âthe situationâ to our parents?"
Ye Xia suddenly looked at her sadly: "Ye Qiu, I know that what mom and dad did back then hurt you, but they are after all the ones who gave birth to you, you canât just disown them!"
Ye Qiu was almost amused by anger: "Ye Xia, donât tell me you think it was only our parentsâ fault that I got kicked out? Or do you think that just by coming here today and saying sorry, Iâll forgive you?"
Ye Xia lowered her head in distress and said sadly, "Ye Qiu, I know I was wrong back then, I wronged you because of my selfishness, but I was young and naive at that time, can you forgive me?"
"You were eighteen then, not that young, at least older than I am," Ye Qiu ruthlessly stated the fact.
"I..." Ye Xia was at a loss for words, her face awkwardly embarrassed.
"Also, do you think thatâs the only thing you should apologize to me for?" Ye Qiu asked coldly with a sneer.
"I know I wasnât good to you when you came back from the countryside, but can you please understand me? Our parents never told us about your existence, and you took over my room as soon as you arrived, anyone would feel upset," Ye Xia pleaded her case, as if she were the most innocent one.
"So this is your justification for falsely accusing me of stealing your money and frequently locking me out of the room? Can you say that you never despised me? Can you say you never bad-mouthed me in front of the Ye Family? Can you say that for even a moment you treated me as your sister?" Ye Qiu asked her ruthlessly.
"But I really didnât mean it, Ye Qiu, can you forgive me? I was just naive back then, Iâve seen the error of my ways now. I can let you have the room, and you can have all my clothesâarenât we sisters? Weâre sisters bound by blood!" Ye Xiaâs voice was filled with endless remorse, begging for Ye Qiuâs forgiveness.
Ye Qiuqing chuckled and shook her head: "What were you doing before? Why choose to apologize now?"
"I..."
Ye Qiu waved her hand to stop her from continuing, "Is it because Iâm wealthy now? Is it because Iâm famous now? Is it because I can bring benefits to you now?"
"Ye Xia, this is your real motive, isnât it! Let me guess, given your vanity, youâve only ever mingled with those richer than you, but the Ye Family is sexist, they surely didnât give you enough living expenses, right? Whatâs wrong? You canât hold your head up high among your friends now? You want to use me to impress others?"
"Ye Xia, on what grounds? Do you think I care about that big bed that you wouldnât let me touch? Do you think I care about those new clothes I didnât have? Ha, Iâm wealthy now; Iâve earned money through my own abilities. What bed or clothes canât I afford? Do I need your charity?"
"Or do you think I lack love? You think your pretentious repentance now would make me grateful and in tears? Are you okay? Do you think I would believe you? We had no relationship already back then."
Ye Xia, pressed by Ye Qiuâs questioning, kept retreating, her face flushed with shame and anger. In a fit of explosive anger, she said, "Ye Qiu, arenât you afraid Iâll tell the news reporters about your deeds?"
"My deeds? What about me?" Ye Qiu laughed in anger.
Ye Xia threatened in a low voice, "Arenât you afraid people will find out you disrespect parents, are dirty-handed and cold-hearted?"
"First," Ye Qiu raised a finger earnestly to explain to Ye Xia, "they are yours and Ye Dongâs parents, not mine. Since I was born, theyâve never looked after me for even one day or paid for my grandmotherâs caretaking fees, at most, they paid my school fees for one year in high school, but right after, they kicked me out while still a minor, because you wrongfully accused me of stealing your money. And during the New Year, not even once did they come out to find me, no one cared about my safety. Second, the one whoâs not clean isnât me, itâs you; Iâve explained the reason just now, and youâve admitted it earlier too. Third, which child faced with disdain and wrongful accusations from elders would maintain feelings of admiration and gratitude?"
