After Transmigrating as a Tycoon's Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family-Chapter 377
Since Aunt Qin was pregnant, she wore flat shoes today, and the steps leading up to the platform were perfectly stable, with no reason for her to fall.
Yet everyone just witnessed this miraculous tumble, leaving most of them stunned, their minds blank and unable to react.
Uncle Qin, mid-speech, felt his wife suddenly move beside him. He reached out to grab her, but it was too late.
“Zi Xuan!” Uncle Qin was genuinely alarmed, practically diving to save his wife.
Even Qin Jiaxi, standing below the platform, was so shocked that she instinctively rushed forward. Though too far away to help, she still ran, tripping over a step in her haste. She fell and rolled but immediately scrambled to get back up.
At this critical moment, a figure darted out from behind a nearby potted plant, catching Aunt Qin with precise timing and angle.
The crowd focused their gaze—it was Yu Xin.
Aunt Qin, her face pale with fright, was in tears and visibly shaken.
Yu Xin, looking as meek and concerned as ever, comforted her gently, “Auntie, it’s okay. Everything is fine now.”
“Yu Xin, why are you here? Thank goodness you were! You saved me—again,” Aunt Qin said tearfully.
Yu Xin replied, “I knew it was your birthday today, and even though there have been misunderstandings that made Uncle and Jiaxi unhappy with me, I still wanted to bring you a gift. Thankfully, I came.”
By now, Uncle Qin had jumped down to his wife’s side, his face still reflecting the lingering fear. He took Aunt Qin from Yu Xin’s arms and began to check on her.
Qin Han, who had conveniently been out of sight, suddenly appeared, pretending he had just arrived. He hurriedly expressed concern for his mother, while no one noticed Jiaxi silently crawling back to her seat. Only Qin Rong stepped forward to help her up.
“I’m fine. No need to call a doctor,” Aunt Qin said, still visibly emotional. “Husband, if it weren’t for Yu Xin, I truly... I know you and Jiaxi don’t like her, but she has saved me and our child twice now. No matter what, I must make an announcement today.”

Uncle Qin frowned, sensing what was coming. He opened his mouth to object, but Aunt Qin had already pushed him aside and taken Yu Xin’s hand.
Facing the crowd, Aunt Qin declared, “Everyone has seen it. Yu Xin has saved me and my child twice now. I owe her a debt of gratitude I can never repay. I believe it’s fate that brought her into my life. So today, I announce that I will adopt Yu Xin. From now on, she will be the little princess of the Qin family. I will treat her as my own, equal to my other children. Please bear witness.”
The crowd erupted in chatter. Yu Xin’s palms were sweating, but she couldn’t hide the ambitious gleam in her eyes. Beside her, Qin Han stood proudly, as if he, Yu Xin, and Aunt Qin were the real family.
Qin Jiaxi sat dazed, watching the scene unfold. Her expression was blank, devoid of any visible emotion. Logically, she knew she should be grateful that Yu Xin had ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) saved her mother, but all she felt was a stabbing pain in her chest and a complete mental void.
The rest of the Qin family was equally shocked by the turn of events. Aunt Qin’s words left them deeply displeased.
“Equal treatment? Is she joking?”
“Zi Xuan! This is ridiculous! You made this decision without discussing it—how can you...” Uncle Qin tried to intervene and stop the farce.
But Aunt Qin sharply interrupted, her tone severe. “She saved my life! How can you all be so ungrateful? Let me make this clear: I will adopt Yu Xin. If you don’t agree, then we’ll get a divorce.”
Uncle Qin froze, his eyes wide with disbelief. He couldn’t even form a response.
“Dad, it’s just an adoption! Why are you so against it?” Qin Han chimed in, angrily. “Isn’t Mom and the baby’s safety more important to you?”
Uncle Qin glared fiercely at Qin Han. He was sure Qin Han had a hand in orchestrating Yu Xin’s appearance, but he couldn’t bring himself to consider whether his wife would go as far as endangering herself and the baby to manipulate him into agreeing.
The rest of the Qin family harbored similar doubts but were reluctant to believe anyone could stoop so low.
“Unbelievable. Are they really going to pull this same stunt again? Last time, it was a fake car accident. Now it’s this ‘miraculous fall’? What a performance! And perfectly executed to guilt-trip everyone with a double dose of ‘life-saving grace.’ Of course, she ensured her own safety—those steps aren’t high, and she was wearing flat shoes. Worst case, she’d have just hopped off. After Uncle Qin’s firm refusal to adopt Yu Xin, this was clearly a last-ditch effort to use moral blackmail.”
Ji Fei sighed internally. She had been so focused on the explosive revelations about Aunt Qin that she hadn’t thought to check what schemes they’d planned for today. Then again, even if she had known, it would have been hard to stop this. Aunt Qin always played the victim card too well.
Now what? Ji Fei felt a wave of anxiety but was startled when Qin Xian gently patted her back.
“Don’t worry. Uncle Qin won’t lose his head in a moment like this,” Qin Xian said calmly.
“Really?” Ji Fei looked at him in surprise.
Qin Xian nodded. “And if it comes to it, I have other ways to stop them.”
“What ways?” Ji Fei asked eagerly. “It’s not like you can disprove a life-saving act.”
Qin Xian smiled faintly. “A foster daughter can’t have inappropriate relations with a son, can she?”
Ji Fei’s eyes lit up. “You found evidence?”
Qin Xian smirked, signaling her to wait and see.
The atmosphere was tense as everyone waited for Uncle Qin’s decision. Just as it seemed he might relent, Uncle Qin’s voice rang out cold and resolute.
“Yu Xin will never enter our family. If you insist, then we will get a divorce.”
The statement hit like a thunderclap.
Even those who hadn’t been following the drama were stunned.
“What? A divorce over adopting a girl? After so many years of marriage? Are they going through a midlife crisis?”
“Dad! What are you talking about? You’re going to divorce Mom over this?” Qin Han was dumbfounded. He had thought everything was perfectly aligned, from moral leverage to emotional manipulation. He never expected Uncle Qin to be so ruthless.
“You... you...” Aunt Qin was equally shaken, her legs wobbling as tears streamed down her face.
Yu Xin quickly supported her, panic etched across her features. Whether or not she entered the Qin family hinged entirely on Uncle Qin’s decision.
