Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life

Chapter 1138 - 1127: Favoring Daughters Over Sons

"What do you mean by that?" Ye Qing was trembling with anger, her eyes reddened, glaring at Han Kun.

Han Kun sneered, "No other meaning, just trying to help you recognize your current identity. You’re merely a sister with only blood ties and no actual emotions, no need to show off today."

"How did I show off?"

"Can you honestly say that you didn’t have that thought before coming here? Even if you didn’t show off, you probably wanted to benefit from your cousin here!"

"Nonsense! Han Kun, I know you’ve been jealous of me since childhood, but there’s no need to slander me like this."

"Alright, alright, stop arguing, people are watching. Today is Ye Qiu’s big day, whatever the issue is, talk about it after today," Ye Zhe quickly mediated as the argument intensified.

Han Kun remembered Ye Qiu’s emotion, and since he’s the best man today, he shouldn’t cause a scene, no matter who it is.

He regained a calm expression and said to Ye Zhe, "Alright, I’ll listen to you. You entertain the guests here, and I’ll go see if there’s anything I can help with my cousin."

After he left, Ye Zhe smiled and said to Ye Qing, "Cousin, just pick a seat without a name assigned. I’ll go entertain others now."

In the blink of an eye, everyone around disappeared, leaving Ye Qing feeling both angry and agitated, but with nowhere to vent her frustration, she could only stew alone.

She looked at the front tables, they were either relatives of the bride He Xixian or Ye Qiu’s teachers, classmates, friends, and some company executives. She, his sister, wasn’t given a name at any of the front tables?

Even if he misunderstood her, is he not afraid of others misunderstanding, gossiping, or mocking him?

But no matter how she complained, nobody arranged a seat for her at those tables, so she had to find a relatively good seat closer to the front.

"Hello?"

Hearing someone greet her, she glanced suspiciously over, and after discovering that person was a young, handsome man, her previously impatient expression immediately became gentle and charming.

"Hello." She nodded with reserve, while her mind began calculating the man’s outfit.

The suit and shirt were the Fan Family’s new season, the shoes weren’t new, but a classic style, and the watch seemed ordinary, perhaps twenty or thirty thousand, but it matched his temperament well, Ye Qing’s heart raced.

"I just saw you talking with two groomsmen; are you related to the groom?" the man asked further, handing over a business card, "My name is Cao Wentao, I run a small company, came today uninvited."

Ye Qing took the card, discreetly glanced at it, finding he indeed is a company general manager as he said, her smile widened.

"I’m the groom’s sister, those two groomsmen are my cousin and my uncle, I was just giving them some instructions." Ye Qing lied without blushing, and looked reverently at Cao Wentao, "Mr. Cao, you truly are a young talent, owning your own company at such a young age."

Upon hearing she’s the groom’s sister, Cao Wentao’s attitude grew even more friendly, "Not at all, your brother is truly the sought-after talent in Jing City these days."

"Mr. Cao, you’re too kind, I see you’re equally outstanding."

"Miss Ye, there’s no need for formalities, just call me Wentao."

"Then, Mr. Cao, you don’t need to call me Miss Ye either, just call me Ye Qing."

At this point, Ye Qiu was unaware that two uninvited guests arrived at his wedding. If he knew his future brother-in-law met Ye Qing ahead of time, he’d probably sigh at the whims of fate—whatever happens, cannot be avoided.

"I’m nervous." The auspicious time draws near, yet He Xixian’s heart remains unsettled.

"It’s okay, I’m here." Ye Qiu held her hand.

"Is my makeup smudged?" She hastily tried to look in the mirror.

"No, you’re very beautiful, you’re the prettiest today." Ye Qiu gazed into her eyes, "The emcee is calling me, I’ll go up and wait for you, don’t be afraid."

Looking into his eyes, He Xixian truly started to calm down, she felt everything was surreal; she just graduated and is about to get married, and even has a baby on the way.

But marrying him, she only felt happiness and full anticipation for the future.

They would walk the path of life hand in hand, raising their own children together. What would Ye Qiu be like when he’s old? She believed even when aged, Ye Qiu would still be the most handsome and wise old man, and she would definitely be the most stylish and beautiful old lady!

Ye Qing looked jealously at He Xixian who Ye Qiu had slipped the engagement ring onto, even from afar, she could see how big that diamond was!

He truly spared no expense! Didn’t he consider what happens if they divorce in the future? All those things he bought for He Xixian would be wasted! How much money would that be?

How many couples these days truly walk hand in hand for a lifetime? Besides, he got married impulsively at such a young age, more instability lurks. She’s clearly looking out for his best interest, why won’t he heed her advice?

That woman, He Xixian, who managed to distance him from family, could in the future seize his assets and abandon him, their parents just wanted him to support himself, they didn’t want his wealth to all fall into an outsider’s hands, why couldn’t he understand that?

She’s his sister! They share a surname, yet in his heart she’s not worth more than a stranger.

Ye Qing was furious, yet impotent, aware that trying to persuade him now would only enlarge her brother Ye Qiu’s prejudice against her.

He’s in the throes of newlywed love, his devotion to He Xixian unyielding, but she could wait, after two years Ye Qiu would know who truly has his best interests at heart in this world.

"Your brother and sister-in-law truly love each other. If I find the woman of my dreams to marry, I’ll surely give her a perfect wedding as well," Cao Wentao said with deep affection.

Ye Qing’s heart skipped a beat, and she playfully asked, "Wentao, you’re so exceptional, why haven’t you found a girlfriend yet?"

"It’s impossible, I’ve never met anyone who captures my heart," he replied, his gaze never leaving Ye Qing, "What about you, Ye Qing? Why didn’t you bring your boyfriend today?"

"I don’t mind if you laugh, though I’m nearly thirty, I don’t have a boyfriend. As you said, Wentao, I’ve just never met the right one. Though my family introduced a few, I don’t want to settle," she smiled shyly.

Cao Wentao admired her, "Exactly, better to stay single than settle, it’s someone you’ll walk through life with."

"Thank you for understanding."

"We should say we’re kindred spirits, both urged by family to marry but only pursuing the most suitable partner," he raised a glass, "To our great friendship and shared aspirations."

"Alright." Ye Qing clinked glasses with him, meeting his gaze.
