Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life

Chapter 1180 - 1169: When the Daughter Is the Supporting Role and the Younger Sister Is the Protagonist

"Honey, are you reborn?"

Upon hearing Zhang Beichen say this, Ye Yun was taken aback, then looked at him in shock, her mouth agape, unable to speak.

Seeing her reaction, Zhang Beichen basically confirmed it, and holding her hand, said, "Don’t be afraid, I won’t harm you because I am too."

Ye Yun’s eyes widened: "You too?"

"Yes, I was reborn on the night your elder sister had the car accident. How about you?"

"I was earlier than you. I was reborn when I was in elementary school."

Zhang Beichen smiled and then tightly embraced her: "I knew we were meant to be."

After confirming each other’s identities, they quickly made plans. Confident in their future knowledge, they didn’t take Ye Qiu seriously at all.

But what they didn’t expect was that, although they had already decided on the plan to buy land and wait for wealth, Ye Qiu was quicker. Under Ye Qiu’s continuous attacks, Zhang Group’s liquidity was stretched thin, and several projects were stalled. If not started, they would lose a large amount of money in the future.

In such a situation, how could Zhang Shengnian allow his son and daughter-in-law to invest a large sum in a plan with no certainty?

Neither could reveal their rebirths; even if they did, someone would have to believe them!

So they began to sell off their properties aggressively, trying to buy as much land as possible with the least money, ultimately choosing the future development area of the eastern city.

Because the north and south parts of the city were wastelands still under government control, even the small amount of farmland couldn’t be bought or sold. Calculating back and forth, only the old district in the eastern city was viable.

After buying two small buildings with all their available assets, the couple finally felt relieved.

But three years later, they were utterly shocked because the developer turned out to be an enterprise under Ye Qiu’s name. Since their asking price was high, Ye Qiu hired designers at a high price to bypass their two buildings. The surrounding homeowners took the money to buy new homes, but they were isolated by the old buildings and had walls blocking them. To enter the new commercial area required a long detour, resulting in few renters.

Years later, the area was classified as dangerous housing by the government, and they couldn’t even rent it out, making their significant investment in the two buildings completely worthless.

By this point, their relationship was no longer as sweet as before, frequently quarreling over this issue.

"I originally said the two buildings should be bought separately, but you insisted on adjoining them, saying it could fetch a higher price. And look what happened? Your sister simply ignored them. If they were separate, at least we could get compensation for one building." Zhang Beichen complained.

"You blame me? Wasn’t I doing it for our future? Besides, you agreed to this plan initially." Ye Yun retorted, angrily.

"If things really don’t work out, we’ll have to ask your elder sister for help!" Zhang Beichen softened his tone.

But this stung Ye Yun’s heart, and she replied sarcastically, "Ask her? She did it on purpose, I won’t beg her! Are you regretting it? Do you want to apologize and win back Ye Shu?"

Zhang Beichen frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about now?"

"I’m talking nonsense? Ever since I married you, have your parents treated me well even once? I know that in your parents’ minds, Ye Shu was the ideal daughter-in-law. I also know that in your past life, you and Ye Shu were a loving couple. But let me tell you, your family is bankrupt now, Ye Shu wouldn’t possibly consider you anymore." Ye Yun said, venting her anger.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beichen was suddenly struck by surprise. What did she mean? What did she mean by him and Ye Shu being a loving couple in his past life?

The more Zhang Beichen thought about it, the more things seemed wrong. Clearly, both he and Ye Yun were reborn, yet in his previous life, he indeed married Ye Yun. Could it be that he and Ye Yun had been reborn into different worlds?

Zhang Beichen’s heart was churned by the revelation. If according to Ye Yun’s words, in the world where she wasn’t reborn, he should have married Ye Shu and been very happy, leading to his family not going bankrupt, and even Ye Family’s Group being his!

If this were true, then why in his un-reborn world was he already together with Ye Yun?

Zhang Beichen closed his eyes and recalled, it was after Ye Qiu’s accident that Ye Yun took control of Ye Group, and he gradually became attracted to her. At that time, he thought she was extremely clever, decisive in her decisions, earning his deep admiration.

In hindsight, perhaps in his past life, Ye Yun was also reborn because the current interactions indicated that Ye Yun, though smart, wasn’t smart enough to control an entire group as soon as she became an adult.

She achieved her career relying on foresight, and captivated him with memories of her rebirth.

In this life, Ye Qiu was not killed by Ye Yun’s mother, leaving her powerless, showing he initially trusted the wrong person.

Thinking back now, Ye Yun really was thick-skinned. Despite knowing he and Ye Shu were a pair, she separated them and married him, her nephew-in-law, with a bold heart. How did she even bring herself to do that?

It was his ignorance, being deceived by her for a whole lifetime and into another. It was laughable he thought they were reborn together from the same world.

Zhang Beichen’s eyes flickered; if—he meant if he hadn’t been deceived by Ye Yun and her façade of wisdom, perhaps he wouldn’t have broken up with Ye Shu? Maybe now Ye Shu’s husband would be him? He’d still be an heir of the Zhang family, and even Ye Family’s Group could be his.

But now? His Zhang family was bankrupt, and Ye Family saw him as an enemy. He lost everything, and might never have a chance to rise again.

No, didn’t his father-in-law leave his mother-in-law with a fortune? Those years were tightly controlled. Even if a divorce was needed, he must obtain that fortune before parting.

"Xiao Yun, calm down. Ye Shu is already married; what relationship could there be between her and me? Our priority now is to rise again." He said, holding back his temper.

Ye Yun remained impatient: "With my elder sister suppressing us, how can we rise again?"

"We’ll go out of town; can your sister’s reach be that long? With our foreknowledge, where can’t we make money?" Zhang Beichen tempted.

"Then tell me, where should we go?"

"Do you remember what will be most popular in a couple of years?"

"What?"

"Jade? We’ll go to the Northern Border to hoard jade."

Ye Yun frowned: "But where will we get so much money?"

"We have our mom, don’t we?"

Ye Yun hesitated: "But that’s the money my dad left my mom for her retirement."

"Once we earn it back, we’ll pay your mom back double, won’t we?"

Ye Yun was tempted, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Then I’ll talk to my mom."
