Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 856 - 845: Dog-Blood Substitute Life

"Have you thought about how to proceed? Our Hua Country cuisine isn’t as easy to store as those fried chicken burgers; making fast food might not be as tasty as fresh, and in terms of time, we’re at a disadvantage." Ye Chao said worriedly.

"I’ve already figured out how to do it. With such a variety of dishes, it indeed isn’t easy for people to accept all at once. I’m planning to start with buns, mantou, youtiao, and soy milk dumplings. As long as the taste is good, simple, convenient, and easy to store, the next step will be to offer mixed noodles and soup noodles. I’ve recently been developing spice packs, so there will be no need to spend time preparing broth in advance; just add the spice packs to the soup." Ye Qiu explained.

"But then people will criticize the safety and nutritional content of the video." Ye Chao expressed concern.

"Could it be less nutritious than those hamburgers and fried chicken? Besides, my spice packs aren’t unhealthy. We can hire nutritionists to assess them, and promote through more marketing. Old concepts need to be shattered." Ye Qiu retorted eloquently, her eyes shining with determination.

Seeing her resolve, Ye Chao realized he couldn’t obstruct her any longer. He also believed it was time for Hua Country’s cuisine to make its way into the world. All those star-level restaurants are just nonsense anyway.

Song Tianji thought he’d hit a wall at Ye Qiu’s place today. He assumed that if he was more diligent and spent more time with her, she’d change her attitude toward him. This would allow him to naturally propose the engagement to the Shen Family. But unexpectedly, he couldn’t find her after that day.

While helpless, he also felt a bit anxious, and his mom kept urging him to go out on dates. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"How do you feel about the eighth of next month?" Liu Lihua asked eagerly.

"Why are you asking me this?"

"To host the engagement party for you and the Shen Family’s daughter." Liu Lihua replied.

"Me? Engaged? When did this happen? Why do I have no clue?" Song Tianji asked in shock.

"Isn’t it because you keep visiting the Shen Family all the time? Last time when I asked if you like the Shen Family’s daughter, you said you did. So, Uncle Shen discussed it with us, saying his daughter agreed too. If you’re willing, we can arrange the engagement for you two." Liu Lihua explained.

"She agreed to the engagement with me?" Song Tianji asked in surprise.

"How could she not agree? Can a better fiancé be found in Province C than you?" Liu Lihua felt proud of her son, who was handsome, ambitious, and responsible. He had managed half of the company’s affairs at a young age and successfully expanded overseas. Which family’s child had such accomplishments like hers?

"Ye Qiu really agreed? Then why doesn’t she meet with me when I go looking for her?" Song Tianji wondered aloud.

"Ye Qiu?" Liu Lihua’s mouth dropped open. "You mean Ye Qiu? You’re interested in Ye Qiu?"

"Yes, who else could there be?" Song Tianji confirmed.

"I thought it was Jingshu, that child." Liu Lihua realized her misunderstanding. She noted their previous attempts to pair up her son had failed; she thought it was due to his lack of interest. Could it be he liked someone other than Jingshu?

"But last time I asked if you liked her, you said yes! And you’ve always been caring toward her." Liu Lihua was puzzled.

"When did I say I liked her?" Song Tianji furrowed his brow. "I care for her because I see her as a sister." Song Tianji explained.

"Last time, I asked if you liked Uncle Shen’s daughter..." Liu Lihua trailed off, realizing her mistake: Uncle Shen had more than one daughter. This misunderstanding was massive!

"But still, you haven’t met Ye Qiu more than twice. How could you be so interested in her?" Liu Lihua couldn’t understand.

Song Tianji chuckled warmly. "Maybe it’s just love at first sight!"

"Then what do we do? We all thought you liked Jingshu and planned an engagement party. Now that Jingshu has agreed, we are saying the person is wrong. Wouldn’t this embarrass Jingshu? Especially since the Shen Family recently acknowledged their biological daughter; others might think we despise the poor and love the rich, rejecting her. Won’t she feel hurt?" Liu Lihua fretted.

"You mean Jingshu agreed to the engagement with me?" Song Tianji was shocked. "How could she agree?"

"My son is excellent; how could she not agree?" Liu Lihua responded naturally.

However, Song Tianji knew Shen Jingshu liked Shen Jing’an. If the previous life’s engagement was due to upbringing and his determination, why did Jingshu jump into this pit again in this life? Why cause a misunderstanding with Shen Jing’an?

Agreeing to an engagement would surely lead to misunderstandings with Shen Jing’an. What was Jingshu doing?

"I’ll go to the Shen Family and clarify the engagement." Song Tianji asserted firmly.

"But wouldn’t that make us look bad? Won’t Jingshu think too much?" Liu Lihua hesitated.

"But if we don’t clarify, do you really want me to get engaged to Jingshu? Mom, the sooner we explain, the better. Later would really be embarrassing for both families." Song Tianji insisted.

"Then speak well and bring some gifts. Don’t let Jingshu misunderstand." Liu Lihua advised.

"I will." Song Tianji promised.

"You’re saying you have no interest in Jingshu and that this whole matter was a misunderstanding?" Shen Jing’an’s forehead was creased, holding back his anger.

Song Tianji apologized to the Shen Family, "That’s right. I’m interested in Ye Qiu, not Jingshu. My mother misunderstood; she asked if I liked the Shen Family’s daughter, and I said yes, but she got the person wrong and agreed to the engagement in the blink of an eye."

After speaking, he looked at Shen Jingshu guiltily. "Sorry, Jingshu. If possible, I hope to do something for you."

Shen Jingshu’s face was pale, and despite not speaking, she appeared even more pitiable.

Shen Mingcheng and Li Wen Yin also looked displeased. It seemed the Song Family tossed around their daughter’s engagement casually. Though a misunderstanding, where did Jingshu’s pride go?

"No need, since it’s a misunderstanding, let’s cancel the engagement. After all, we haven’t officially announced it yet, and outsiders don’t know." Shen Jingshu spoke generously, though her pale face and restrained expression revealed her internal discontent.

She kept telling herself she wasn’t the Shen Family’s biological daughter, not to hope for too much. But some words were too harsh, and despite repeated admonitions, her parents’ changed gazes inevitably left her wondering.

Now, Brother Tianji had told her that the one he liked, wished to marry wasn’t her, wasn’t she supposed to ponder that?

Is status really that important? Just because she isn’t the Shen Family’s biological daughter, Brother Tianji said he liked Ye Qiu, not her?

Is it truly a misunderstanding or an excuse to break the engagement because she was no longer valuable?
