After Transmigrating as a Tycoon's Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family-Chapter 376

Qin Jiaxi had already been preparing to stand up, and when Ji Fei gave her the excuse, she practically jumped to her feet and moved over to Ji Fei’s side.

Qin Rong quickly adjusted her seat, placing Qin Jiaxi between the two of them.

Aunt Qin immediately frowned. “What are you doing? Let them get to know each other.”

“I really want to curse her out. Does she even realize what she looks like right now? She’s like a brothel madam parading her girls in front of a sleazy customer. How much does she hate her own daughter to introduce her to this kind of man? There’s no need to look deeper—his behavior alone screams poor character. Aunt Qin has truly hit a new low. I can’t wait to figure out exactly what this guy’s deal is!”

At this point, Qin Yi and Qin Chao began speaking up.

“Sure, they should get to know each other. So, may I ask, what kind of business does this gentleman’s family run?” Qin Yi asked, his tone neutral. “Even though I don’t handle family business myself, I know Y City’s circles well.”

“Yes, let’s get acquainted. Which school did you graduate from? What did you study? And what’s your current position?” Qin Chao added with a cold smile.

Faced with these questions, the chubby man stammered and deflected, providing no useful information.

Qin Chao sneered. “Could it be that you’re a con artist?”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” the man retorted in a panic, tugging on Aunt Qin’s sleeve as if begging for help.

Aunt Qin immediately defended him. “Nonsense! His father is a friend of mine.”

“Oh? Who exactly is his father, and how are they connected to you? Does Uncle Qin know about this friendship?” Ji Fei suddenly interjected.

Her tone instantly caught everyone’s attention.

For the first time, Ji Fei’s voice was cold and sharp, each word slicing through the air like a blade. It felt both like an interrogation and a mockery.

Aunt Qin’s expression turned sour. “Are you questioning me as a senior? Would I ever harm my own daughter?”

“That’s not necessarily true,” Qin Rong muttered under her breath.

“You... how dare you be so disrespectful to an elder!” Aunt Qin’s voice rose, drawing the attention of nearby guests.

Ji Fei, however, wasn’t about to let her save face. Standing up with Qin Jiaxi, she turned to Aunt Qin and delivered her warning.

“I don’t think this man is suitable. You’d better not let him appear here again. The Qin family doesn’t do arranged marriages for convenience. Of course, if you want to introduce someone to Jiaxi, I’ll make sure to discuss it thoroughly with Uncle Qin. Anyone being considered will be vetted thoroughly to see if they’re worthy of the Qin family’s eldest daughter. If anyone tries to overreach, they’ll learn the consequences of coveting what isn’t theirs.”

As Ji Fei spoke, her icy gaze swept over Aunt Qin before settling on the chubby man, her words brimming with both warning and threat. The man trembled visibly.

After finishing, Ji Fei pulled Qin Jiaxi away, leaving the suffocating atmosphere behind.

Qin Jiaxi and Qin Yi looked confused. While the situation had been disgusting, Ji Fei’s outburst felt disproportionately intense, practically tearing Aunt Qin’s facade apart in front of so many onlookers.

Qin Chao and Qin Rong, on the other hand, were already speculating if their sister-in-law had uncovered something significant.

Naturally, Qin Xian, who had been keeping an eye on his wife, noticed her sudden anger. Apologizing to those attempting to engage him, he immediately went to find her.

Ji Fei had just sat down when Qin Xian arrived. She leaned against him as though finding solace, paying no mind to the surrounding people. Qin Xian, unfazed, wrapped his arm around her and asked, “What happened?”

“That woman introduced a revolting man to Jiaxi,” Ji Fei replied.

Jiaxi, now seated nearby, tried to reassure her. “Sister-in-law, it’s fine. I’ll just ignore it.”

Ji Fei hesitated, as if holding something back.

Meanwhile, Qin Chao eagerly recounted the incident, drawing the attention of Qin Xiaoyu and Qin Jing, [N O V E L I G H T] who had just arrived. Hearing the story, they were just as shocked.

“Could that man be someone particularly influential? Is that why Aunt Qin doesn’t care about appearances?” Qin Jing wondered.

“Pfft, he’s just a con artist,” Qin Chao scoffed. “And a perverted one at that. Qin Xiaoyu, stay far away from him later. He couldn’t stop leering at our sister-in-law and little sister earlier.”

At this, Qin Xian’s expression turned icy, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes. He tightened his hold on Ji Fei.

Qin Yi sighed. “What could she possibly be thinking?”

“Ha, what could she be thinking? She’s doubling down on her insurance policy for her ex-lover. That chubby man? He’s actually chasing after his father. He’s Yu Xin’s older brother, the child from her ex-lover’s previous marriage. After their divorce, he was raised by his mother. When her ex returned to his hometown, he reconnected with his son. This woman is truly ruthless. She views even that useless gambler as precious. By introducing Jiaxi to him, she’d be tying him to the Qin family, making Jiaxi responsible for her ex-lover’s relatives. Does her brain have holes? How can she think this is reasonable? It’s like she can’t stand not ruining her own daughter’s life!”

Ji Fei ranted internally, feeling the need to cling to her husband to vent her frustration.

Those who could hear her inner thoughts were utterly dumbfounded.

At first, they thought Aunt Qin was merely dismissive of her daughter, introducing a poor match out of spite or stupidity. But now they realized she wasn’t stupid at all—she was cunning and calculating, just not in ways that benefited her own family.

The extent to which she had exploited Uncle Qin’s household left them astonished.

Thankfully, they knew the truth now. Otherwise, they couldn’t imagine the mess that would have ensued.

Those unaware of Ji Fei’s inner thoughts simply felt an inexplicably heavy atmosphere around them.

Soon after, the chubby man disappeared from sight, though it was unclear if he had left entirely.

When Uncle Qin returned and didn’t see the man, he asked Aunt Qin what had happened. From his perspective, Ji Fei’s reaction must have been prompted by Aunt Qin bullying Jiaxi again.

Aunt Qin defensively protested her innocence, feigning hurt and clutching her stomach as though deeply aggrieved.

But with the celebration approaching its peak, Uncle Qin didn’t pursue the matter. It was time for the toast and the cake-cutting ceremony.

Soon, a massive cake was wheeled out, and everyone stood to gather around.

Uncle Qin helped Aunt Qin up the steps built near the fountain.

As he began speaking, someone nearby whispered, “Strange, where’s Qin Han?”

Ji Fei’s thoughts raced: “He’s bringing Yu Xin here, isn’t he? They’re planning... holy crap... that’s ruthless!”

Just as Ji Fei’s thoughts concluded, a sharp gasp filled the air.

Aunt Qin suddenly slipped from the edge of the platform, tumbling toward the right side where no one was standing. If she fell, the consequences would be severe.
