Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 858 - 847: A Dog-Blood Replacement Life

"I don’t agree." Hearing that Shen Mingcheng wanted to send Shen Jingshu abroad, Shen Jing’an shouted excitedly, "Why, Dad, why are you stopping us?"

"Because you are siblings," Shen Mingcheng said with a sullen face.

"I’ve said it before, we are not biological siblings, we have no blood relation, and even if someone has to leave, why does it have to be Jingshu?"

"Because you need to stay and manage the company."

Shen Jingshu kept her head down, silent, but inwardly she laughed sarcastically, perhaps it wasn’t because her brother needed to manage the company, but because she was an outsider in this family!

"Dad, Mom, haven’t you always loved us? You keep saying that we make our own decisions about matters of the heart, so why won’t you let us be? Wouldn’t it be good for Jingshu to be your daughter-in-law? Then our family can always be together." Shen Jing’an tried to persuade his parents, but Shen Mingcheng and Li Wen Yin both had a firm attitude and could not accept their son and daughter loving each other.

"Jing’an, Jingshu, you two are still too young and don’t understand the seriousness of this matter. Mom doesn’t know if you truly love each other, but have you thought about the fact that what you call love might actually be familial love? Maybe you’re mistaken in your feelings. Even if Mom supports you, what would happen if you encounter conflicts in your future marriage? By then, you might not even be able to remain siblings, and that would really tear this family apart." Li Wen Yin said earnestly.

"Mom, I’m already twenty-three, and Jingshu is an adult too. Can’t we even distinguish our own feelings? Besides, Jingshu and I truly love each other. Even if we have conflicts in marriage, they won’t be serious and will be resolved quickly. This family will only become closer, how could it fall apart? Mom, don’t lie to me anymore. I’ve decided on Jingshu in this lifetime; I won’t marry anyone but her."

"Nonsense!" Shen Mingcheng was furious and almost wanted to slap him again. He looked at him sharply and said, "With what you just said, I don’t believe you’ve matured. Decided? Life is so long, and you’re saying you’re decided now? No one in this world can’t live without someone else. I’ve already decided that Jingshu will go abroad for further study, and it’s not up for debate."

"Dad! This is unreasonable."

Shen Mingcheng ignored him and instead spoke to his adopted daughter, "Jingshu, even though we didn’t give birth to you, we love you no less. I know sending you abroad might seem unfair, but I hope you understand me, and also hope that during your time apart, you think carefully about your relationship and don’t make mistakes."

Hearing Shen Mingcheng’s tone, which seemed both comforting and threatening, Shen Jingshu’s gaze became even colder, but she obediently said, "I understand, Dad, without your and Mom’s instructions, I won’t return home casually."

Shen Mingcheng’s expression softened, "I know you’re the most sensible. Go upstairs to rest and pack your things."

"Yes, Dad."

"Jingshu, don’t listen to them, don’t listen." Shen Jing’an shouted, trying to catch up but was stopped by Shen Mingcheng. He cried out in grief, "Jingshu, don’t leave me."

Shen Jingshu’s footsteps paused, but she didn’t turn back.

Before leaving, Shen Jingshu went to see Ye Qiu. She didn’t know why she wanted to see him, just felt that since Ye Qiu appeared, her life had changed. Even knowing all this wasn’t caused by him, she still felt a bit uncomfortable.

Ye Qiu had been busy with opening a shop lately. The shop was nearly renovated, and it happened that they were going to test the kitchen that day, so he invited her to meet at the shop.

"Is this your own shop?" Shen Jingshu asked curiously.

"Yes." Ye Qiu poured her a cup of tea, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Shen Jingshu pressed her lips together; she didn’t know why she was there, so there was a moment of silence.

"I’m leaving here." After a long silence, she exhaled and said.

"Why?"

"Probably because my brother and I are in love, and my parents don’t agree." Shen Jingshu said this very calmly, but Ye Qiu still saw the resentment and grievance in her subtle expressions.

"Why not try to fight for it?" Ye Qiu asked again, also a bit curious in his heart, as in the previous life, it was Shen Jing’an who left, wasn’t it? And the timing of them announcing their relationship wasn’t at this point, what happened?

"You don’t oppose my brother and me?" Shen Jingshu asked in surprise.

"Why should I oppose it?" Ye Qiu’s tone was very calm, the kind that had nothing to do with him, "It’s a matter between the two of you."

"But he’s your biological brother, and I’ve been taking your place for over ten years."

"So what? I don’t enjoy deciding other people’s lives. You’re both adults; you should have your own opinions. Besides, my relationship with Shen Jing’an isn’t deep, and I don’t hold any resentment towards you. Actually, I’m surprised you came to find me today."

For some reason, hearing Ye Qiu’s unapologetic tone, Shen Jingshu felt a sense of relief, as if a weight on her heart had lightened a bit.

"Did you know, I almost got engaged to Song Tianji."

"Oh."

"Aren’t you going to ask why it was canceled?"

"Because he’s in love with someone else?"

"You knew?"

"He’s been coming to see me a lot recently. It’s annoying."

Hearing Ye Qiu’s tone of disdain, Shen Jingshu asked curiously, "You don’t like him?"

"Why should I like him?"

Ye Qiu’s tone was too straightforward, too dismissive, giving Shen Jingshu the illusion that Song Tianji wasn’t a good person.

"Song Tianji is handsome, has a good family background and is a promising young man. How can you not be moved by such an excellent man pursuing you?"

"I just find it annoying."

"Do you have someone else you like?"

"No."

Shen Jingshu didn’t press further, but she was very curious why Ye Qiu wasn’t interested in Song Tianji. She thought that if she hadn’t already developed feelings for her brother first, she wouldn’t be able to resist someone like Tianji, right?

"Did you eat dinner?" At this point in the conversation, Ye Qiu suddenly changed the topic, and Shen Jingshu shook her head blankly.

"What do you want to eat?"

Shen Jingshu looked around, "Isn’t your place not open yet? Do you have a chef?"

"I’m the chef."

"You?" Shen Jingshu was once again surprised, "Isn’t the Ye Family very wealthy? Why do you know how to cook? And want to be a chef?"

"It’s a hobby, so what do you want to eat, hurry up, otherwise I might not want to cook for you later."

"Broccoli and cucumber with shrimp." Shen Jingshu casually mentioned two dishes she liked, then immediately felt she was being a bit impolite for actually asking her to cook.
