Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 860 - 849: A Clichéd Substitute Life

Shen Jingshu went abroad. Before she left, she had a conversation with Shen Jing’an, and whatever he said seemed to have had an effect, as Shen Jing’an stopped causing trouble and became more motivated.

As she left without a trace of gloom in her eyes, she warmly hugged Shen Mingcheng and Li Wen Yin, expressing her gratitude for their many years of kindness, assuring them that she would work hard abroad and not bring them any shame.

Although Shen Mingcheng harbored thoughts of an alliance marriage through the adopted daughter, and despite some tensions in their relationship with her and Shen Jing’an, they both let it go at that moment. After all, she was the daughter they had lovingly raised, and naturally, they hoped for her well-being.

"Take good care of yourself abroad. Mom will come to visit when I have time. Don’t skimp on spending; you’re just too sensible, so sensible that it makes my heart ache," Li Wen Yin lovingly touched her cheek, her smile incredibly gentle and kind.

Shen Jingshu suddenly got teary-eyed, feeling ashamed for her recent resentment. Her parents were so good to her—what right did she have to feel indignant?

"I’ve arranged for someone to pick you up after your flight lands. The house, nanny, everything is ready. Study hard and don’t overthink," Shen Mingcheng sighed and handed a card to his adopted daughter. "This is from Dad. The expenses abroad are high. Like your mom said, don’t hold back. The Shen Family can afford it."

"Thank you, Dad," Shen Jingshu replied, her voice tinged with sobs.

"Go on," Shen Mingcheng patted her head, feeling a bit reluctant in his heart.

Shen Jingshu smiled as she bid them farewell. From behind a pillar, Shen Jing’an silently watched her departing figure, his resolve to improve himself growing stronger.

Meanwhile, Shen Jingshu successfully alleviated the burden in her heart after a word and a meal from Ye Qiu, dissipating her grievances and happily and confidently going abroad for further studies. On the other hand, Ye Qiu was not having such smooth sailing, as Song Tianji was truly too annoying.

"Boss, Mr. Song is asking to see you," the waiter said with a troubled expression.

Ye Qiu’s eyes were icy cold, "I won’t see him."

"But he said that after eating something from our restaurant, he felt very uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Ye Qiu took a deep breath, then thrust the kitchen knife into the cutting board, at least ten centimeters deep, as estimated by the waitress. Didn’t she see the surrounding cracks? Clearly, the boss really dislikes Mr. Song! But Mr. Song is so handsome, why doesn’t the boss feel moved?

"What exactly do you mean?" Ye Qiu asked Song Tianji with a displeased expression.

Song Tianji looked at her with affection, an expression full of deep emotion, "No matter what I do, you won’t see me, so I can only resort to this method. Ye Qiu, where exactly did I go wrong?"

Looking at Ye Qiu’s cold demeanor, a feeling of helplessness spread through Song Tianji’s entire body. Why is she so resistant to him? Why won’t she accept his goodwill no matter what? Has he done something wrong? Why are things so different in this life compared to the last?

Song Tianji had thought that in this life, he only needed to help Ye Qiu out of trouble like in the last life, and then they’d naturally develop feelings for each other so that he could propose and dedicate a lifetime to treating her well, to make up for his guilt from the previous life.

But this life started with huge changes in Ye Qiu’s foster family’s household. Growing up in a wealthy environment allowed her to face those rich young masters with composure, not requiring his rescue or support at all.

He thought, well, at least this is good for Ye Qiu, but he didn’t expect that losing this condition would make it so difficult for him to approach her. She simply didn’t give him the opportunity to pursue her but instead treated him as a nuisance.

Time and again, Song Tianji reminded himself not to give up—he deserves this, after all, he owes Ye Qiu in the past life. Perhaps the experiences of this life are his retribution!

Despite feeling disheartened, he persisted in sending her flowers every day and inviting her to dinner, but those flowers ended up in the trash, and dining together was out of the question. He even rarely got the chance to speak with her.

Until Ye Qiu opened this Chinese fast-food restaurant, he finally had a reason to find her, but she still refused to see him, leading to this desperate move today.

"Ye Qiu, can’t you give me a chance to pursue you?" he pleaded.

Ye Qiu looked at him seriously, "Mr. Song, I believe I’ve made myself clear before. Your actions have already disturbed me. If you continue like this, I might have to ask my parents to speak to Uncle and Aunt."

Song Tianji was left speechless by Ye Qiu’s words, yet he still persisted, "I believe Uncle Shen would very much hope for us to be together."

Ye Qiu’s gaze turned colder, and Song Tianji regretted his words as soon as they were spoken.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Ye Qiu’s mouth because she knew he was right. Ever since it became clear that Song Tianji had feelings for her, Shen Mingcheng had been eagerly promoting this relationship, which made her very angry.

Shen Mingcheng is quite a peculiar person. Though he might not favor his adopted daughter Shen Jingshu or her, his biological daughter, he sometimes treated them very well. But on the other hand, some of his intentions seemed utilitarian, always hoping that the marriages of his two daughters could benefit his business. This is precisely why Ye Qiu keeps her distance from him.

Shen Mingcheng wasn’t bad to his daughters; they just didn’t matter more than his company. But relatively, his son and wife mattered more than the company or money—a very contradictory and biased person.

He wasn’t overly biased, just eager to facilitate things and never pressured anyone. But his concern often felt burdensome, just like with Shen Jingshu before. If it weren’t for years of his hints, Shen Jingshu wouldn’t have had such heavy psychological burdens and come close to taking the wrong path.

"You might be mistaken; although Shen Mingcheng is my biological father, he doesn’t make decisions for me."

Song Tianji knew about this. In this life, Ye Qiu had become much more assertive and confident compared to the past life, which only made him feel more helpless.

"I apologize. My earlier words were somewhat offensive," he sighed heavily, "I truly don’t know what else to do. Ye Qiu, I genuinely like you, and sincerely want to spend my life with you. Why won’t you give me a chance?"

"Because I don’t like you, and from the first time you appeared before me, I had a very bad feeling about you. My intuition tells me that having too much contact with you won’t lead to a good outcome," Ye Qiu replied, unable to offer any other explanation.

But after hearing this, Song Tianji felt as if struck by lightning, immense guilt and pain surged through him, leaving him speechless. He thought, is this my comeuppance?
