Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life

Chapter 1073 - 1062: The Unkind Stepmother

"Don’t get worked up, maybe Fu Lei heard wrong? I believe Xiao Xu wouldn’t deliberately slander you." Fang Bingwen could only say that.

"Heard wrong?" Ye Qiu gave a bitter smile, "Fu Lei, like you, is well-educated. He said he asked more questions after Xiao Xu told him I hit Xiao Xu. Later he heard wrong again? Or do you think he is deliberately deceiving me?"

"I..." Fang Bingwen was at a loss for words, "I’ll go pick Xiao Xu up right now and let him explain clearly."

"I just called Xiao Xu’s teacher." Ye Qiu said to his back.

Seeing Fang Bingwen stop, she continued: "She said these days Xiao Xu often says bad things about me. She plans to find a time to talk to us about this issue. Bingwen, does that mean the teacher is also hearing wrongly, falsely accusing him?"

Fang Bingwen heard this, his lips pressed into a straight line, almost squeezing out each word: "I’ll go pick him up right now."

Listening to the sound of the door closing, Ye Qiu wiped away her tears, no longer looking heartbroken as she did earlier. Then she sneered, despite everything, he still believes his son and won’t even apologize to her!

Does he really think she can’t live without him? Really think she has no temper?

"Tell me, why did you lie? Why did you tell others Aunt Ye hit you?" Fang Bingwen was truly angry, making Fang Xu stand against the wall as punishment.

Fang Xu’s eyes were red, loudly arguing: "She was indeed mean to me, she did hit me."

"You still dare to lie to me?" Fang Bingwen was furious, unable to believe his son could lie to his face.

"I’m not lying. She hits and bullies me behind your back." Fang Xu still refused to admit.

"Fine." Ye Qiu sniffled a bit, steadfastly saying, "Xiao Xu, since you said the bruise on your face was from me, then when did I hit you?"

"Today."

"What time today? I remember when you left with your dad this morning you were unhurt, I asked the teacher, she said you were also unhurt leaving school, she even checked the surveillance for me."

"After school."

"Your school is close to home, walking back only takes a few minutes, there are traffic police and security guards along the way. How could I openly hit you in front of everyone?"

"When I got home."

"Xiao Xu." Ye Qiu closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "From when you left for school till you returned, I haven’t seen you at all. How could I have hit you? Even Uncle Fu Lei can vouch for me, if worse comes to worse, neighborhood surveillance can prove it. Why would you slander me? Have I not treated you well enough?"

"Not well, just not well, I don’t like you, you’re not my mom, get out of my house." Fang Xu shouted loudly.

"Smack!" Fang Bingwen, seeing his stubborn refusal, angrily slapped him.

"Waa..." Fang Xu immediately burst into tears, "You really don’t like me anymore, Mom was right, Dad doesn’t want me after marrying a stepmom, I hate you."

"I..." Fang Bingwen looked at his hand in disbelief, he actually hit his own son?

"I want Mom, I want Mom, you bad woman, give Dad back to me." Fang Xu cried, kicking and hitting at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu didn’t move, but her expression was very hurt: "Xiao Xu, your dad didn’t mean it just now, he was just angry, I’ll apologize on his behalf, okay?"

At this point, Fang Bingwen spoke too, crouching to hug Fang Xu: "Xiao Xu, I’m sorry, Dad just got too angry about your lying, forgive Dad, okay?"

"Dad, don’t leave me," Fang Xu whimpered.

Fang Bingwen’s heart ached instantly: "No, Dad won’t stop loving you."

Ye Qiu watched coldly, her heart already feeling as cold as could be, but did Fang Bingwen think this would brush the matter aside?

"Xiao Xu, have you seen your mom? When did she tell you that your dad doesn’t want you after marrying a stepmom?" Ye Qiu pressed.

Fang Bingwen’s body stiffened, immediately looking towards his son. Ye Qiu didn’t see his expression but she knew, it was excitement and anticipation.

"Xiao Xu, talk, is your mom back?" Fang Bingwen was anxious seeing his son not speak.

"Mom said, not to tell Dad," Fang Xu replied quietly.

"Was it a month ago she came back?" Ye Qiu asked, looking at Fang Xu.

Fang Xu was indeed startled: "How did you know?"

"Because the teacher said you only began speaking badly of me a month ago." Ye Qiu chuckled wryly, "Bingwen, now the truth is clear, let’s arrange to meet your ex-wife, I know you loved her once and believe she’s not someone who ruins reputations. I suspect she misunderstood something and taught Xiao Xu badly. So let’s meet her and clear things up, okay?"

Seeing Ye Qiu speak so rationally and understandingly, Fang Bingwen couldn’t refuse, only answering with "Okay."

The next day, Ye Qiu started her stream as usual, but her complexion wasn’t good, prompting viewers to chatter and ask.

"What’s up with the streamer? Why does she look unwell?"

"Dark circles and bags, insomnia?"

"Red eyes, has she been crying?"

"Sorry to worry everyone, I wasn’t planning to stream, but the scheduled time is missed and I’m afraid you’ll worry. I didn’t sleep well yesterday because of some things, but now it’s okay." Ye Qiu forced a smile.

"The streamer smiles so weakly, is it really okay? I don’t believe it."

"Same here, streamer speak out, if there’s any trouble we can all offer advice."

"Yeah, even if we can’t do much, talking is better than holding it in."

"I... sigh..." Ye Qiu’s eyes reddened more, sadly looking, "Thank you all for caring, really it’s nothing, just that my husband’s ex-wife is back."

"So what if she’s back, why’s the streamer so upset? Onward, you’re the main now."

"Did the ex-wife come back to meddle again?"

"Yesterday something happened, my stepson told others I mistreated him, and they felt something was off so asked more questions, later telling us. Only then did we know the stepson was lying. My husband checked surveillance and proved I wasn’t alone with the stepson at all that day, and starting a month ago he’s been telling people I’m mean to him."

"Streamer being mean to stepson? Funniest thing I’ve heard this year."

"Did no one else notice the streamer’s husband actually distrusts her enough to check surveillance?"

"But what’s the lie have to do with the ex-wife? Unless..."

The comment section was full of passionate indignation, voicing injustice for Ye Qiu.
