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

Chapter 17



Qin Xian heard Ji Fei's stream of complaints and saw Qin Dynasty stop in his tracks, looking back with an expression as if he'd seen a ghost. Qin Xian immediately understood the situation.

Before Qin Dynasty could speak, Qin Xian said, "Ah Chao, stay and help your second brother entertain the guests."

Qin Xian's tone was deep, and although it wasn't an order, it instinctively diverted attention.

"I'll help Xueqi inside first, she has difficulty moving..." Before Qin Dynasty could finish, that noisy voice appeared again.

[This guy must be an idiot, right? Her parents and sister are all there, why does he need to help her? Even if he were her boyfriend, it wouldn't be necessary. Especially given how awkward the situation is now.]

[Qin Xian is clearly reminding him that this behavior is inappropriate. Does his brain go on vacation when facing the girl he likes?]

[It must, otherwise he wouldn't have been so blind as to mindlessly antagonize Chu Xinyue earlier.]

Qin Dynasty was stunned by the barrage of criticism, feeling a rush of shame and anger. He turned to Ji Fei and angrily said, "You..."

"Huh?" Ji Fei was confused.

Ji Fei thought Qin Dynasty was greeting her, albeit in an unfriendly tone.

However, based on her memory, Ji Fei indeed didn't get along well with the hot-tempered third brother.

Qin Dynasty had always admired his second brother since childhood. Because of Qin Xian's marriage, Qin Dynasty harbored a lot of ill will towards Ji Fei, who was close to his age. So even though they both worked in the entertainment industry, Qin Dynasty had no desire to look out for Ji Fei, and wouldn't even call her "second sister-in-law" in public or private.

It was only due to his upbringing that Qin Dynasty hadn't openly confronted Ji Fei.

Qin Dynasty hadn't expected Ji Fei to dare speak about him like that.

"Brother Chao?" Chu Xueqi, not understanding the situation, saw Qin Dynasty lingering. From her angle, she couldn't see that Qin Dynasty was glaring at Ji Fei, and thought he was looking at Chu Xinyue beside her.

Chu Xueqi immediately bit her lower lip in a hurt manner and pushed Qin Dynasty, saying, "Brother Chao, you should stay with my sister. I'll be fine on my own."

Chu Xinyue had actually been very quiet all this time, but at this moment she finally couldn't help but speak up, "It was the second young master Qin who asked the third young master Qin to stay and entertain guests. Why are you bringing me into this?"

Chu Xueqi was instantly choked up, looking at Chu Xinyue in shock, her eyes immediately reddening as if deeply hurt.

"What kind of attitude is that!"

"Do you only feel better when you're bullying your sister? We shouldn't have brought you out!"

Mr. and Mrs. Chu seemed to react reflexively, their tempers flaring up.

Qin Dynasty, however, was stunned. He didn't notice the crying girl beside him and turned his head to meet those cold, clear eyes.

Wait, did she just call him "third young master Qin"? Hadn't she always called him Qin Dynasty?

Qin Dynasty felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort rising within him, only to be interrupted by a certain voice.

[Oh my, my temper! Even though I'm not close to Chu Xinyue, I really can't stand by and watch this anymore.]

"Just now, my husband only asked Qin Dynasty to stay, right? He didn't mention Chu Xinyue. Why did you bring her up? Do you have any suggestions?" Ji Fei asked, not in an accusatory tone, but rather with a sincere attitude of 'I don't understand, please explain'.

They say sincerity is the ultimate weapon, don't they?

With Ji Fei's question, everyone present fell silent. The atmosphere suddenly became strange, and many people realized what was happening.

That's right, how did this suddenly come up?

Asking Qin Dynasty to stay and entertain guests couldn't possibly mean asking Chu Xinyue to stay as well, so how did it become Qin Dynasty accompanying Chu Xinyue in Chu Xueqi's words?

The Chu family, feeling a surge of anger, instinctively felt that Ji Fei was being unkind to Chu Xueqi and wanted to refute something.

But then Qin Xian suddenly said, "I think everyone has misunderstood something. I indeed only mentioned my third brother."

He then glanced at the eager Ji Fei. That "my husband" she just said certainly sounded better than "ex-husband brother".

The unexpected tacit understanding between the two immediately made Chu Xueqi blush. For a moment, she was at a loss for words and could only look helplessly towards Qin Dynasty with an innocent face.

Qin Dynasty was also stunned.

"Besides, your sister was just correcting your statement earlier. How did it turn into her bullying you? What grievance did you suffer?" Ji Fei's gaze swept from Chu Xueqi to the Chu family. "Having your father publicly reprimand your sister puts us, the host family, in a difficult position. If there's any conflict, shall we help resolve it?"

Chu Xueqi, who had always sailed smoothly through life, seemed to have stumbled invisibly. She was dumbfounded.

The Chu family was also stunned, wondering how things had turned out this way. They looked at Qin Xian in bewilderment.

Qin Xian asked expressionlessly, "Have we been remiss in our hospitality?"

The Chu family's expressions became awkward. They instinctively wanted to vent their anger at Chu Xinyue, but remembering what had just happened, they couldn't.

The next moment, Ji Fei smiled cheerfully at Chu Xueqi and said in a very friendly manner, "Also, you said something incorrect earlier. What do you mean by letting Qin Dynasty accompany Chu Xinyue and that you'll be fine on your own? You can't say things like that carelessly."

Everyone was stunned. From these words, it seemed as if Ji Fei was representing the Qin family in acknowledging Qin Dynasty and Chu Xueqi as a couple, telling Chu Xueqi not to say such self-deprecating things?

Chu Xueqi also momentarily forgot about the previous conflict and looked at Ji Fei with some expectation.

Ji Fei immediately said earnestly, "Your parents are right there, how can you not see them? If not them, you still have your own sister! They certainly won't leave you alone!"

Alone... alone... Chu Xueqi had just said she would be fine on her own.

This... was a bit too...

The expressions of the onlookers changed several times.

Someone in the crowd finally couldn't help but say, "Isn't this green tea behavior?"

"I... I'm not!" Chu Xueqi finally became anxious, her eyes immediately filling with tears. Just as she was about to say something, Ji Fei patted her on the shoulder.

This also stopped her tears.

Ji Fei said approvingly, "Very good, you've realized you're not alone."

Chu Xueqi's face immediately cycled through various colors.

[Hahaha, this little green tea's level is too low, right? Her words don't even have logic. It's too easy to catch her loopholes. But it's also possible that everyone around her has been blindly pampering her, so she thinks she can get whatever she wants just by saying anything. But sorry, I'm an expert at identifying green tea behavior!]

Qin Dynasty looked at everything in astonishment, wondering what had just happened.

Ji Fei felt free to make a fuss, while Qin Xian was responsible for wrapping things up.

Just as Chu Xueqi was about to perform a big cry to salvage everything, Qin Xian directly bowed and made a gesture of invitation, ending it all.

The Chu family felt as if they had a bellyful of inexplicable anger, and in a daze, they were passively led into the hall with Chu Xueqi.

Chu Xinyue, who was the last to leave, looked at them before leaving. There was a glimmer of light in her eyes, and a vague sense of being moved spilled from her gaze.

It seemed like the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she didn't know how to react.

After everyone had left, Qin Dynasty finally came to his senses. "What were you two doing just now? Xueqi is so innocent, she definitely didn't mean it. It was just a slip of the tongue. Why did you have to embarrass her like that?"

In Qin Dynasty's view, they liked each other, but because of the engagement with Chu Xinyue, they were like true love being obstructed. It was understandable for Chu Xueqi to occasionally feel insecure and make mistakes in her behavior.

"So Chu Xinyue, who did nothing, deserves to be embarrassed?" Ji Fei asked curiously.

Qin Dynasty was choked. "Chu Xinyue often makes Xueqi cry. It's not a big deal for her to be embarrassed once!"

Ji Fei looked at Qin Dynasty in surprise, then turned to Qin Xian.

[Is he really your brother?]

Hearing Ji Fei's thoughts, Qin Xian felt a bit angry. He was indeed his brother.

Qin Xian looked at Qin Dynasty with dissatisfaction. "Ah Chao, our parents didn't teach us to judge people unfairly. You can be biased and favor someone, but you should understand the principle of judging things on their own merits."

Although Qin Dynasty was in his twenties, he instinctively felt a tremor in his heart when faced with his second brother's reprimand. He obediently listened to the lecture, but his eyes revealed dissatisfaction.

[I think he's hard to understand. Does the Qin family really have a naive gene? Three parts tears for green tea, and he cries when she acts. Were those acting awards he won bought by the Qin family? How can he not see that the green tea is acting?]

"Hey, you..." Qin Dynasty finally couldn't hold back and wanted to speak.

[It's over. He likes green tea so much, if he marries a green tea in the future, won't the Qin family become a theater every day? Although we're not afraid, it would be annoying to death. I don't want to be sisters-in-law with someone like this. Maybe I should find a way to divorce Qin Xian earlier.]

The words got stuck in Qin Dynasty's throat, and he looked at his brother in astonishment.

How could this shameless woman who was desperate to marry his brother even consider divorce?

Wait, what exactly did he hear?

Qin Xian's mouth twitched as he coughed, interrupting Ji Fei's wild thoughts.

"Leave this to me and Qin Dynasty. You can go in," Qin Xian said.

Ji Fei nodded immediately.

[Great, time to go in and watch the drama unfold.]

Watching Ji Fei's cheerful silhouette, Qin Dynasty pressed his temples with trembling fingers, looking at Qin Xian with eyes full of questions.

Qin Xian didn't beat around the bush. Taking advantage of the current lack of customers, he briefly disclosed Ji Fei's situation.

Qin Dynasty stood dumbfounded for a while before speaking, "Should we get a therapist for our whole family? No, we should invite a spiritual master..."

Qin Xian's cold gaze deterred Qin Dynasty's idea.

Qin Dynasty pouted and asked curiously, "So she really knows everything?"

Qin Xian: "For now, she can know whatever she wants to know."

"Huh, is she the most formidable paparazzi in the entertainment industry?" Qin Dynasty still maintained a skeptical attitude.

Qin Xian's gaze flickered, "Are you planning to talk about changing the marriage arrangement today?"

Qin Dynasty was stunned and said, "Uh, yeah, but don't worry. It won't disrupt my little nephew's family reunion party. I've told the Chu family to stay until the end so we can discuss it privately between our two families."

Qin Xian nodded to show he understood.

Qin Dynasty asked cautiously, "Everyone's okay with it, right?"

"Are you sure you want Chu Xueqi, not Chu Xinyue?" Qin Xian asked.

Chu Xinyue's gaze flashed through Qin Dynasty's mind, causing him discomfort. But he said, "Of course. Xueqi is too fragile and needs my protection. Chu Xinyue... she's jealous of her sister and treats Xueqi poorly. I don't like that about her."

After speaking, Qin Dynasty saw Qin Xian's expressionless face and inexplicably felt a lack of confidence.

"You don't know how much Xueqi has suffered because of those twins' faces. I..."

Qin Xian interrupted directly, "You're responsible for your own life. It's good that you've decided."

Qin Dynasty choked, feeling slightly resentful.

Turning his head, through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the reception room, he saw Chu Xinyue in a black dress standing alone in the corner beyond the bustling crowd, looking down at the wine glass in her hand, lost in thought.

Suddenly, Chu Xinyue looked up towards the outside.

Qin Dynasty instinctively averted his gaze.

They were about to break off the engagement, so why was his heart inexplicably racing?
