Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 176 - 171: Mom on the Offensive
Chapter 176: Chapter 171: Mom on the Offensive
Lizhi spoke up, and Liu Yan had nothing more to say. Reluctantly looking at her son, she didn’t dare to scold him loudly, since having him was the reason for her current wealth, and Lizhi cherished his son deeply.
After breakfast, Lizhi headed out to tend to his new company, and only after tidying up did Liu Yan take her little treasure to the aquarium.
Today was Sunday, and despite the blazing sun, many parents still brought their kids here to play. Everyone was sweaty, and the smell was really unpleasant. Liu Yan wore a white dress today, and although she wore heels only five or six centimeters high for Wenjun’s sake, his restlessness still exhausted her, and it wasn’t long before she looked somewhat disheveled.
With one hand covering her nose, and the other holding Wenjun who was lurching from side to side, she became just like the people she disdained after only a few minutes.
Wenjun shifted between wanting balloons and ice cream. Once they entered the dolphin arena, Liu Yan finally had a chance to rest. She first discreetly sniffed her armpits, frowned in disgust at the smell, then pulled out a bottle of perfume from her bag and sprayed herself all over.
"Ugh!" The heavy scent of perfume mixed with sweat hit her; even an expensive perfume smelled terrible under these circumstances. People around her looked disgusted too and covered their children’s noses.
Liu Yan, however, was oblivious to the odd looks from others, thinking they were of envy and jealousy. She arrogantly raised her chin, after all, the perfume she used was something ordinary people couldn’t afford.
"Mom, the perfume sprayed on my face, it stinks," her son remarked unabashedly unlike the others who were too polite to speak up directly. Being only four years old, his candidness was more refreshing.
Hearing the snickers around her, Liu Yan’s face flushed red, and she scolded her son, "Enough, just eat your ice cream. Stop talking so much."
Wenjun was usually spoiled by Granny Kong and Lizhi, and was not used to being scolded. At his young age, he knew who would protect him and even dared to threaten his mom, "I’m going to tell Grandma and Dad you were mean to me."
Fuming inside, Liu Yan dared not lash out, reminding herself that this was her son who brought her wealth, but decided that once she married Lizhi, she couldn’t let Granny Kong move in, otherwise her son would be spoiled rotten by the old lady.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu was also entering the dolphin arena with her daughter. Thanks to drinking Spiritual Spring Water, the two of them looked fresher than most people. Continuous consumption of Spiritual Spring Water for over half a month had significantly improved their appearances; little Wenyin’s previously sallow complexion became fair and tender, and the wrinkles brought by years of hardships on Ye Qiu’s face smoothed out, leaving her skin smooth and pale.
Ye Qiu’s looks weren’t stunningly beautiful, but she was above average. However, usual toil combined with intentional torment by Granny Kong and Lizhi had worn her down to what was once a haggard face.
Now, slowly transformed by the Spiritual Spring Water, she looked radiant as if glowing, attracting the attention of some onlookers who enjoyed watching this appealing mother-daughter duo.
Liu Yan noticed them too, but could hardly believe that the stylishly dressed woman before her was the same hapless, haggard woman from Lizhi’s household.
Confident in her own looks and figure, Liu Yan had taken extra care with her outfit and accessories before leaving home today, but now she hesitated to stand next to Ye Qiu for comparison.
Ye Qiu was simply dressed in white capri pants paired with a light blue T-shirt, looking both refreshing and comfortable. Her daughter Wenyin wore a matching outfit, and both had sweet smiles on their faces, making anyone who looked at them unconsciously smile too.
It was actually Liu Yan and her meticulously dressed son who stood out. Mom was haughty, looking down on everyone, while her son displayed an unbearable brat-like demeanor, causing people to instinctively keep their distance.
Seeing the clear distaste others held for them, Liu Yan’s face stiffened with anger, but she quickly felt pleased with herself again. So what if they were better looking? Weren’t they just an abandoned woman with a weathered face?
Now, she herself had tens of millions in assets. What did that woman have? In the end, she would still have to help her repay debts. When the debt collectors come knocking, I wonder if she could still manage a smile.
Quite coincidentally, the two of them ended up sitting in the same row.
Ye Qiu naturally noticed Liu Yan and her son as well, but logically she shouldn’t know them, so she pretended not to see them, yet she separated her daughter from Kong Wenjun, opting to sit between the two children.
Kong Wenjun had long been spoiled rotten, capable of causing any sort of trouble, and she did not want Wenyin to get hurt by the bratty child.
"Hmph!" Liu Yan sneered at Ye Qiu, arrogantly hugging her chest as she surveyed the pool below. The dolphin show hadn’t started yet, but Kong Wenjun had already finished his ice cream and was not willing to sit quietly. Seeing that many children around him were holding toys or snacks, he decided to snatch some.
Closest to him was a little girl in the row in front, slightly younger than him, playing with a doll. Without a word, he pounced and snatched it, startling Liu Yan, the parents in the front row, and the little girl with his actions. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Liu Yan was afraid he might fall and get hurt, while the parents in front were clearly worried their daughter might be hurt. The little girl, seeing her doll taken away, burst into tears with a loud "Wah".
"Dear, it’s okay, it’s okay," the girl’s mom comforted her daughter tenderly, but seeing that Liu Yan had no intention of apologizing, she couldn’t help but angrily say, "Miss, please take care of your child."
Liu Yan knew that if she took the doll from Kong Wenjun’s hands, he would create a huge scene by crying and making a fuss. Thus, impatiently eyeing the girl’s mom, she said, "How much for this doll? I’ll buy it." She then proceeded to pull out her wallet.
The surrounding people frowned upon seeing her attitude, particularly the little girl’s mom, who was incensed. Her own child was scared and crying, and here this woman was neither disciplining her child nor apologizing, just trying to solve the issue with money. No wonder her child was so unruly.
The girl’s mom, holding back her anger for the sake of not frightening her child, glared at Liu Yan: "Is this how you behave as a mother?"
Liu Yan simply ignored her, pulling out a few red banknotes: "Is five hundred enough?"
The girl’s mom’s fury intensified, and at that moment Ye Qiu spoke up lightly, "If I’m not mistaken, that doll is from the P brand, and it should cost at least two thousand."
The girl’s mom was taken aback by Ye Qiu’s words, ’What P brand? Isn’t it just a doll from a small supermarket for a few ten yuan?’ But in a split second, she understood Ye Qiu’s intention and responded, "That’s right, we bought this doll for two thousand eight hundred, five hundred is not enough."
