Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 190 - 185: The Male Supporting Character Isn’t Brain-Dead

Zhong Meiying is that kind of woman who dazzles at first sight—with deep-set eyes, a tall nose bridge, fair skin, and long slender legs, her black hair pulled high into a bun with the ends curling slightly, standing in her form-fitting red dress on the stairs, she is both charming and youthful.

Seeing such a fiancée, Ye Qiu curses himself in his heart again, wondering how he could have abandoned such an enchanting betrothed in his previous life for an ordinary female lead. Was he blind or what?

Zhong Meiying, noticing Ye Qiu staring at her in a daze, secretly blushes. She descends the stairs unhurriedly, and as she lowers her head, a playful strand of hair brushes over her slightly flushed cheeks. She’s like a shy lotus flower unable to withstand the cool breeze, incredibly captivating. Zhong Meiying, having studied dance, moves with exceptional grace, her waist supple, every movement carrying allure.

"Sister Mei Ying is really beautiful," Ye Shuyao admires sincerely.

Zhong Meiying deliberately ignores Ye Qiu’s intense gaze, walks over to Ye Shuyao with a light chuckle, and says, "You’re not bad either. Who doesn’t know that our Shuyao is the flower of the institute?"

Ye Shuyao, unabashed, lifts her head with pride: "Naturally, with Sister Mei Ying as the best and me as the runner-up, we are an invincible pair of sisters-in-law."

Zhong Meiying lightly pokes her future sister-in-law’s cheek and chuckles, "You cheeky girl."

Ye Shuyao giggles and nudges Ye Qiu’s arm, "That’s what my brother thinks too, right?"

The two girls don’t really expect Ye Qiu to respond. They link arms and head out the door. After all, he’s just the brooding type, looking all prim and mild like water, but typically couldn’t be provoked to say anything flattering.

But today, he actually nods in agreement: "Shuyao is not wrong."

Zhong Meiying and Ye Shuyao are both momentarily stunned, then realizing that Ye Qiu acknowledged Zhong Meiying as the most beautiful and Ye Shuyao the second, Zhong Meiying turns her face slightly and raises the corners of her mouth, while Ye Shuyao sports an even prouder look of playful triumph.

Ye Qiu is not one to sweet-talk. Since confirming their engagement, he has shown the utmost respect for Zhong Meiying: always preparing appropriate gifts for holidays and birthdays, politely pulling out her chair and cutting her steak when dining out—all seemingly flawless. However, Zhong Meiying always feels a sense of distance between them.

Yet, she reminds herself that marriages between families like theirs are often just for show. At least she and Ye Qiu do have feelings for each other, so she reassures herself. But today, with Ye Qiu complimenting her through his little sister’s words, she feels a surge of sweetness in her heart and secretly hopes that he could be like this more often in the future.

The welcome banquet is set at the Purple Phoenix Pavilion, a venue owned by Zhang Chengyu, the most loyal right-hand man of the male protagonist Leng Junxuan. Zhang Chengyu’s family is also within the system, but his power falls short compared to the Leng Family and the Ye Family. Because his grandfather had served under Leng Haixuan’s grandfather, he had grown up tagging along behind Leng Junxuan.

Zhang Chengyu did not follow his family’s old ways when he came of age. Instead, he ventured into business and opened this entertainment club that incorporates leisure, dining, and gambling, only catering to the rich second generation, the powerful, and celebrities. The club’s charges are exorbitant, allowing only those with membership cards to enter. Those in the know could also request special services. Many young stars linger here just to find a powerful patron.

This lucrative treasure pot has been coveted by many, but with the Zhang Family and the Leng Family behind it, it has managed to avoid trouble. However, after the arrival of new leadership, the venue is still standing but no longer dares to engage in the explicitly prohibited businesses.

When Ye Qiu walks in leading the two beauties, the atmosphere in the private room momentarily quietens, then becomes even livelier than before.

Zhang Chengyu frowns the moment he sees Ye Shuyao entering. It’s common knowledge that Ye Shuyao likes Brother Leng, but equally well-known is that Brother Leng does not feel the same. Ye Shuyao may be pretty and of a good family, but she’s just too temperamental. Anyone getting close to Brother Leng ends up getting an earful from her.

Zhang Chengyu felt that with Brother Leng’s family background, abilities, and appearance, he could find someone better, so he wasn’t too fond of Ye Shuyao’s entanglement, but in front of Ye Qiu, he didn’t dare to show it.

Because Ye Qiu and Leng Junxuan were of the same age and similar family background, they had been compared since childhood, with their abilities being neck and neck. Zhang Chengyu knew his Brother Leng’s stern face was quite intimidating, but he also knew Ye Qiu’s smile hid a sharp blade.

This was one of the reasons Zhang Chengyu disliked Ye Qiu but couldn’t afford to offend him. Throughout their childhood, whenever their group of kids did something wrong in the yard, they were always the ones to get punished, never Ye Qiu. After being set up twice, Zhang Chengyu felt that Ye Qiu was no good, disliking his style but not daring to cross him.

Moreover, since Leng Junxuan had a decent relationship with Ye Qiu and they had to play together for so many years, upon seeing Ye Qiu enter, Zhang Chengyu greeted him with a smile, and for a moment lost his composure at the sight of Zhong Meiying, wondering why his Brother Leng couldn’t be so lucky to find a fiancée with a good family background, a nice temperament, attractive looks, and scholarly knowledge.

"Has Junxuan not arrived yet?" asked Ye Qiu with a smile.

"He should be arriving soon."

As they were speaking, two men with similar looks pushed the door open and entered, precisely Leng Junxuan and his cousin Leng Haoxuan.

The Leng Family and the Ye Family were completely different in appearance; the Ye Family’s elders had delicate features, so both Ye Qiu and Ye Shuyao had refined and gentle features, whereas the Leng Family was the opposite, with sharp and distinct facial features. Especially Leng Junxuan, who had just returned from abroad, likely due to regular fitness, was quite imposing. In Ye Shuyao’s words, that’s what you call manliness.

"Brother Leng, welcome back," said Zhang Chengyu with a grin, giving his buddy a hug.

Ye Qiu and the others also stood up to greet him: "Junxuan, heard you cracked another international case, now, has M country actually agreed to let you return?"

There were those rich second generation whose families’ fortunes were slowly declining chiming in: "Brother Leng is impressive."

"Brother Leng is probably the most remarkable among our group!"

"Brother Leng is badass."

Ye Qiu grew up being compared to Leng Junxuan, and when everyone was praising Leng Junxuan, only Zhong Meiying gently held his hand.

Ye Qiu reassuringly reciprocated the hold on his fiancée’s hand and gave her a gentle smile. It’s true that Leng Junxuan’s momentum was fiercer than his at the moment, but he didn’t care at all.

Firstly, with his cousin Ye Chen in the Ye Family, there was no need for him to exert all his effort to climb higher, and secondly, his ambition wasn’t in what others deemed important; otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen International Trade as his major in the first place.

Leng Junxuan responded to everyone’s enthusiasm with a nod and a cold face, acting as if others owed him hundreds of thousands and wouldn’t pay back, but everyone seemed used to it, showing no signs of displeasure, perhaps truly not caring or perhaps because they didn’t dare to care.
