After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Upon hearing such juicy gossip, Ji Fei naturally wouldn’t expose it right away. Even if Yu Xin were to be driven away now, who knows what schemes they might come up with later to force Third Uncle Qin and Qin Jiaxi into submission.

The best approach was to let them play their cards and have Third Uncle Qin reject them outright in front of everyone, making his stance clear and putting an end to their delusions once and for all.

[Let’s see what Third Uncle Qin does. I believe he won’t let Qin Jiaxi down.]

The Qin Second family also thought it best to stay on the sidelines.

However, as they passed by Qin Han, none of them gave him a friendly look—it was almost as if they were all rolling their eyes.

Qin Jiaxi initially planned to ignore Qin Han completely, but just then, Third Uncle Qin hurried out, smiling warmly to welcome them.

In truth, Third Uncle Qin didn’t need to greet guests at the door, but he had known in advance that his daughter had returned and was worried she might be treated unfairly, so he came out to meet her.

He even kept Qin Jiaxi by his side, personally guiding her to greet the remaining guests.

This sent a subtle but clear message: his precious daughter, Qin Jiaxi, was the true lady of the Qin Family, no matter what his wife and son might say about her to outsiders.

In the past, Qin Jiaxi would always hide in the corners of the house, trying to make herself as invisible as possible.

This was the first time she had been so openly involved in receiving guests. She was extremely nervous, but with her father by her side, she gradually found her footing.

Meanwhile, Qin Han kept shooting her ambiguous glances from the side.

Qin Han had glanced over several times, but his sister didn’t come over to bow her head as she usually would. Her completely different attitude left him somewhat flustered.

He didn’t reflect on his own mistakes, though. Instead, he grew even angrier at Qin Jiaxi, thinking she was being disrespectful by defying him, her elder brother. How ungrateful!

Looking at his father’s attitude, Qin Han couldn’t help but feel a twinge of doubt.

Could it really be as Yu Xin had said? Was his father planning to fully support Qin Jiaxi and pit her against him?!

Moreover, Qin Xian had a much better relationship with Qin Jiaxi than with him. If Qin Xian supported Qin Jiaxi… the Qin Family had no tradition of favoring sons over daughters.

Qin Han had never taken his useless sister seriously before, but now he was genuinely starting to feel a sense of crisis.

However, this sense of crisis was fleeting. He still looked down on Qin Jiaxi, confident that he could continue to belittle and dismiss her.

But the guests at the birthday banquet were watching with mixed expressions. Having just heard the gossip about the family, they couldn’t help but read into Third Uncle Qin’s actions.

The rest of the Qin Family was led by the butler to the garden, where the main seats were arranged.

As they entered, they saw a group of noble ladies gathered around a beautiful, slightly pregnant woman.

The woman appeared gentle and serene, the very picture of a virtuous wife and mother. Yet, she was anything but—she was someone who showed blatant favoritism toward her own daughter.

When the Qin Family arrived, Third Aunt Qin didn’t act presumptuously. She slowly stood up, despite her apparent discomfort, and greeted each of them politely. Her manners were impeccable.

But then she added, “I’m afraid Jiaxi has caused everyone some trouble recently. My daughter has a rather peculiar personality, which has led to many misunderstandings. I’ll make sure to educate her properly from now on.”

As soon as these words left her mouth, the Qin Family’s expressions darkened.

How audacious! She was subtly implying, in front of the guests, that the recent gossip was all Qin Jiaxi’s fault, not Qin Han’s or Yu Xin’s.

It was truly shocking to see such blatant favoritism. Did she think the Qin Family would hold back out of politeness and not call her out on Qin Han’s misbehavior?

Well, she clearly didn’t understand the Qin Family’s temperament.

“Jiaxi is such a wonderful girl. There’s no need to educate her. If anything, Third Sister-in-law, you should focus on educating Qin Han. He’s old enough to know better, yet he’s still acting so immaturely, making a fool of himself in front of everyone,” Qin’s Mom retorted sharply. “Oh, wait—I heard Qin Han has always been under your guidance. Then I suppose it’s Third Uncle’s fault for not stepping in to discipline him properly. Yes, it’s all Third Uncle’s fault.”

Third Aunt Qin’s face immediately changed color. She stared at Qin’s Mom in disbelief, clearly not expecting her to be so bold as to openly challenge her in front of everyone.

The onlookers’ eyes widened in excitement, eagerly watching the confrontation between the sisters-in-law.

After all, it was widely believed that the Qin Family was as tight-knit as a drum, with harmonious relationships. No one had expected such drama to unfold.

“Second Sister-in-law, how we raise our children…” Third Aunt Qin’s temper was not as gentle as her appearance suggested.

But Qin’s Father cut her off, firmly supporting his wife. “I heard Third Uncle gave Qin Han a good beating recently. I saw him greeting guests earlier—has he fully recovered? But then again, he deserved it for his mistakes. It’s only natural.”

Fourth Uncle Qin chimed in with a smile, “Third Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t stand for too long. Weren’t you just at the hospital not long ago?”

These remarks only confirmed the earlier gossip, leaving Third Aunt Qin’s face a kaleidoscope of emotions.

She couldn’t tell whether these people were genuinely displeased with her or simply standing up for Qin Jiaxi.

What was so special about that useless, unlikable girl that they would go out of their way to defend her?

Knowing she was at a disadvantage, Third Aunt Qin swallowed her pride for the sake of the bigger picture.

The younger members of the Qin Family struggled to hold back their laughter. It was satisfying to see their elders handle the situation so effectively, as they themselves couldn’t openly challenge their elders.

Meanwhile, Qin Xian was carefully helping Ji Fei sit down, treating her like a delicate doll.

Ever since she had seen Third Aunt Qin, Ji Fei had been in a daze.

The Qin Second family had been stealing glances at her, puzzled by her unusual silence.

But seeing Ji Fei lost in thought, they began to feel uneasy.

This had happened before, and every time it did, it meant there was some earth-shattering gossip waiting to be revealed.

Ji Fei was overwhelmed, stunned, and utterly shaken.

There was so much information to process that she could barely keep up with the first few pieces. She hadn’t even had time to read the rest before her urge to comment took over.

Unbeknownst to her, in her excitement, she had been gripping Qin Xian’s hand so tightly that she was on the verge of bruising it.

[What a vile woman! I’ve seen shameless, despicable women before, but Third Aunt Qin takes the cake! How can she live with herself after doing all this?]

The Qin Second family was already trembling with dread. While they didn’t particularly like this woman, she had been Third Uncle Qin’s wife for over twenty years and was considered part of the Qin Family. They could tolerate her being foolish or misguided, but they truly hoped she didn’t have any major skeletons in her closet.

Yet, it was rare to hear Ji Fei speak so harshly.

They braced themselves for the worst.

And Ji Fei didn’t disappoint, dropping a bombshell right from the start.

[What “advanced maternal age,” needing Third Uncle’s care and attention? You’re carrying someone else’s child!]

The Qin Second family: !!!!!!

[You’ve been keeping your old lover in an apartment in the neighboring complex, cheating on Third Uncle for the past six months!]

The Qin Second family was now shaking uncontrollably.

[No wonder you wanted to adopt Yu Xin—she’s your old lover’s daughter! You’re trying to let your old lover’s daughter leech off the Qin Family!]

The Qin Second family could no longer hold back their furious glances toward Third Aunt Qin.

[Wait, the leeching has already started?! All these years of charity work were just a front to funnel money to your old lover in another city! How dare you! Third Uncle works so hard to earn money, and you’re spending it like this! I’m furious, furious, furious!]

The Qin Second family was now taking deep breaths, trying to restrain their urge to lash out.

What kind of vile woman had they let into the Qin Family?!
