After Transmigrating as a Tycoon's Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family-Chapter 378

Uncle Qin faced his wife and son’s hostility with decisiveness. He said flatly, “A debt of gratitude is one thing, and it can be repaid in other ways. But bringing her into the Qin family is absolutely impossible. Our family does not accept those who harm their own kin. Have you all forgotten what was exposed recently? This girl conspired with others to deceive our daughter, leading to her being bullied at school. She even implicitly allowed herself to replace our daughter’s identity, enjoying the benefits while turning a blind eye to the bullying and even encouraging it. What right does someone like that have to enter our family?”

His words were firm and resonant, and the surrounding guests recalled the events. Indeed, this girl was no angel. They had heard the shocking news about the bullying of the eldest Qin daughter and how her own brother denied her as his sister in school while publicly acknowledging Yu Xin.

To say Yu Xin bore no malice toward Qin Jiaxi was something no one could believe.

Hearing this, Qin Jiaxi silently shed tears. She stared at her father’s back, finally letting her suppressed emotions break free. She stood and declared, “I also oppose Yu Xin entering our family!”

“Shut up!” Qin Han couldn’t argue with his father, but he could certainly take it out on Qin Jiaxi. He barked venomously, “Will you ever stop twisting the truth to satisfy yourself? Yu Xin and Su Ze are completely innocent! It was all a misunderstanding! And you? You were bullied because of your personality! Blame the heavens, blame the earth, but why don’t you blame...”

Before he could finish, Uncle Qin grabbed a glass of wine and splashed it into Qin Han’s face.

Qin Han froze. While he could swallow the humiliation from the last time, being shamed in front of so many prominent /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ people left him completely unhinged.

“Listen to yourself,” Uncle Qin said angrily. “As an older brother, you don’t protect your sister but instead criticize her at every turn. Do you even want to be Jiaxi’s brother? Or do you only want to be Yu Xin’s brother? Fine. If your mother insists on divorcing me to adopt Yu Xin, you can go with her and be Yu Xin’s brother.”

Qin Han stiffened. He understood the implications of his father’s words. Though he was furious, he instinctively didn’t dare retort.

Aunt Qin looked at Uncle Qin with resentment. “You’re going to go this far over something so small? I just want to adopt a daughter. Is that too much to ask?”

“Have you not been listening to me? Or do you simply not care about what your own daughter has endured? Are you determined to persist with your selfishness?” Uncle Qin said, sounding utterly exhausted.

Aunt Qin’s lips trembled. “You’re the one being unreasonable and biased. Yu Xin is a good girl.”

“Really? Have you forgotten about the stolen recipe?” Qin Chao scoffed. “Yu Xin herself admitted to stealing Jiaxi’s hard-earned creation and claiming it as her own. Not only did you fail to stand up for your daughter, but you want to adopt someone with such questionable character?”

“You ignore your own daughter’s suffering but go out of your way to feel sorry for someone else? Is this the so-called ‘equal treatment’ you claim to uphold?” Qin Yi mocked.

“She’s an adult already. Why is Auntie so determined to adopt her?” Qin Rong muttered.

“Adopting an adult? Clearly, it’s for Qin family resources,” Qin Xiaoyu said snidely.

Qin Jing added sarcastically, “Stop stating the obvious. Surely it’s not about the money. Maybe Yu Xin just wants to gain another father to show filial piety.”

“No, that’s not true...” Yu Xin panicked, hurriedly denying it.

Aunt Qin’s face darkened. “Stop talking nonsense. Of course, I’ve noticed Jiaxi’s grievances. Yu Xin has already expressed a desire to apologize. She just made a mistake—who hasn’t? Must you all cling to the past and be so petty? Yu Xin is not after our family’s resources. She’s just someone we care for, and she wants to care for us in return.”

This was perhaps the first time anyone had seen Aunt Qin’s blatant double standards so clearly. The murmurs of disbelief among the crowd grew louder.

“If that’s truly the case, why must you go through the adoption process?” Qin Wenqiang asked shrewdly. “If you truly cherish her, wouldn’t that sentiment remain the same without formal adoption?”

The spectators weren’t fools. Hearing this, they couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. What was Aunt Qin’s real motive for pushing so hard for Yu Xin’s adoption?

“Auntie, it’s fine. Let’s consider it fate not meant to be,” Yu Xin said, suddenly adopting an aggrieved expression. “Even if I can’t be your daughter, I’ll still honor and care for you.”

Her words painted her as a pitiable victim, as if she were being bullied by everyone.

Aunt Qin’s face turned completely pale. She couldn’t out-argue the group, so she stubbornly stared at Uncle Qin as if demanding he make a decision.

But when Uncle Qin firmly said, “My answer remains the same. Think it over carefully,” Aunt Qin was completely defeated.

Yu Xin, however, understood the situation. Gritting her teeth, she clung to Aunt Qin’s hand and said, “Auntie, I know you mean well, but there’s no need to fight with Uncle over this. It’s unnecessary. I’m already so grown up—it would feel strange to start calling someone else ‘Mom and Dad.’ It’s really okay.”

Yu Xin’s words were intended to calm things down, preventing the couple’s relationship from worsening and ruining any future opportunities.

Qin Han, still sulking like a drowned rat, felt a pang of sympathy for Yu Xin. But when he saw the look in her eyes, he held his tongue.

“I really don’t mind,” Yu Xin said, even apologizing to Uncle Qin and Qin Jiaxi for past misunderstandings. Her demeanor left no room for fault.

This performance managed to sway some onlookers, who began to see Yu Xin as a pitiable girl who, despite saving lives, ended up apologizing and being ostracized. It left a strange impression.

Aunt Qin, after composing herself, said coldly, “Fine. Since you’re the head of the family, what can I do? But at the very least, we should properly compensate her for saving my life.”

Uncle Qin did not object to this suggestion.

Yu Xin finally exhaled a sigh of relief.

Just then, a voice chimed in.

Ji Fei smiled mischievously. “Uncle, you should prepare a more generous thank-you gift. After all, she’s saved lives twice already—who knows? There might be a third time. You might as well plan in advance.”

Her words were laced with biting sarcasm, making everyone feel awkward.

Qin Xian added, “There won’t be a third time. Don’t say such things.”

“Won’t there? I think it might be destiny. After all, just when Uncle made it clear he wouldn’t adopt Yu Xin, a miraculous life-saving incident occurred. And yet, Uncle still refused. What if the heavens arrange for another one? If this pattern continues, Uncle will need an entire reserve of thank-you gifts,” Ji Fei quipped with a smirk.
