After Transmigrating as a Tycoon's Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family-Chapter 367
The simple yet explosive title, “#Su Ze Cheating, Qin Han Lying!#,” instantly turned into a trending post due to the two individuals’ high popularity.
The post contained no explanation, only a video. Initially, there was some apprehension, but upon clicking to watch the muted footage, it became clear that neither party’s face was fully visible, nor was there any incriminating physical altercation. Relieved, they sighed collectively. Although they were willing to take responsibility for their actions, they didn’t want to be subjected to public scrutiny on the internet.
As they continued watching, their amusement grew. It was clear that Qin Han’s carefully curated image was about to crumble before it had even begun.
While the auditorium’s audience appeared to be paying close attention to Qin Han’s speech, the moment the explosive news began spreading, people inevitably started checking their phones. The occasional sound of video playback disrupted the atmosphere, causing murmurs to ripple through the crowd.
Qin Han noticed the disturbance—students blatantly watching videos on their phones—and felt a surge of irritation. He considered cutting his speech short as a subtle reprimand, thinking it would teach them a lesson about respect.
Before he could act, however, the host subtly signaled to him, urging him to wrap up the speech quickly.
Qin Han, confused and annoyed, wondered why the host was rushing him. Already in a foul mood, he decided to end the speech abruptly. When the scattered applause followed, far less enthusiastic than he had anticipated, his frustration boiled over. The atmosphere was worlds apart from what he had envisioned before arriving.
Meanwhile, Qin Jiaxi, who had been increasingly uncomfortable with the gazes being directed her way, noticed more and more people around her engrossed in their phones. Feeling uneasy, she glanced at her family, only to realize they were all staring at their screens as well. Curiosity overtook her, and when she checked her phone, her eyes widened in shock at what she saw.
At that moment, Yu Xin, who had been waiting nervously backstage with a bouquet of flowers, remained blissfully unaware of the brewing storm. With perfect timing, she confidently strode onto the stage to present the flowers to Qin Han.
Qin Han’s anger softened slightly upon seeing Yu Xin approach. Accepting the bouquet, he signaled to the host to proceed with the prearranged question.
They had coordinated with the host earlier, planning to drop a few playful hints about their “close relationship.” However, the host seemed distracted, his focus clearly elsewhere. Just as Qin Han’s pointed gaze grew impatient, the host snapped back to attention, realizing he was supposed to ask the question.
“Oh, the two of you seem really close. Could it be that she’s your girlfriend?” the host asked with a forced cheerfulness.
Qin Han smiled broadly and placed his arm around Yu Xin’s shoulders, speaking confidently in front of the audience. “Don’t misunderstand. Yu Xin is my sister! She’s my one and only precious little sister. I hope everyone here will take good care of her at school.”
Yu Xin exhaled in relief and straightened her posture, exuding confidence. She believed that no matter what had happened earlier, Qin Han’s public acknowledgment of their relationship would render any resistance from Qin Jiaxi futile. After all, Qin Han was her biological brother, wasn’t he?
But instead of the applause or admiration they had anticipated, the audience erupted into hushed murmurs and audible whispers, far from the reaction they had hoped for.
“What a shameless hypocrite,” Ji Fei muttered, unable to hold back her disdain.
Beside her, Qin Jiaxi’s gaze was calm but icy. Though she had expected this outcome, hearing her brother’s public declaration of affection for Yu Xin and complete disregard for her still struck her deeply.
“Only one precious sister? How can he even say that?” she thought bitterly, a pang of pain seizing her chest.
“Some siblings are just not destined to bond. It’s his loss,” Qin Yi remarked.
Qin Chao chimed in with a smirk, “We don’t have any bond with him either.”
“That’s right,” Qin Rong added, “We only recognize you as our sister.”
Ji Fei gave a bright smile and encouraged, “Don’t let it get you down. Keep watching. It’s about to get good.”
At that moment, the atmosphere on stage had already shifted. Both Qin Han and Yu Xin began sensing that something was amiss.
Then the host spoke again, his tone laced with excitement. “And now, for a special surprise! We have an even more distinguished guest here to share their insights. Please give a warm welcome to the current president of Qin International in the Y Region—President Qin himself!”
The entire auditorium erupted in shocked exclamations.
“Isn’t President Qin Qin Han’s father? The richest man in Y City?”
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
“Why are the father and son appearing together today?”
“Judging by Qin Han and Yu Xin’s surprised expressions, they didn’t know he was coming.”
“Have you seen the forum post? I bet President Qin’s sudden arrival is related to that!”
“Why does it feel like we’re about to witness some major drama?”
“Real and fake heiresses? Is this some juicy gossip I get to witness firsthand?”
“If we’re talking surnames alone, I’m inclined to believe Qin Jiaxi.”
“And Qin Han and Yu Xin... something about them just doesn’t feel right.”
“Exactly! And isn’t Yu Xin involved with Su Ze?”
“Watson, I believe you’ve uncovered a key detail!”
Ji Fei raised an eyebrow in surprise. She had originally planned for Qin Xian to take the stage, but having Third Uncle step in instead was even better. Let him handle his foolish son directly.
Beside her, Qin Jiaxi was completely stunned, doubting her own ears as the familiar, imposing figure stepped onto the stage.
The other Qin family members were equally exhilarated. This unexpected development was proving far more thrilling than they could have imagined.
Surely, the elders of the Qin family would now see Qin Han for what he truly was. After all, Qin Han’s earlier words about Yu Xin were nothing short of tampering with the family’s bloodline, mixing up real and fake daughters. If Yu Xin were allowed to continue leveraging the Qin name, any scandal she caused in the future would tarnish the family’s reputation.
As members of the Qin family, they bore the weight of the family’s honor. Qin Han’s arrogance—thinking he could grant anyone the family’s identity at will—was nothing short of idiocy.
When Qin Han saw his father walking toward him with a calm expression, his legs began to tremble. He wasn’t foolish—he knew his father had overheard his earlier declaration. Having already been scolded over the phone earlier, he had turned around and repeated his mistake, and his father had caught him red-handed.
But it was precisely his father’s outward composure that terrified him most. Beneath that placid exterior, he knew a storm was brewing.
He could only hope his father would prioritize the family’s image and not embarrass him in front of everyone. Surely, his father wouldn’t contradict him publicly and risk helping Yu Xin’s case. At worst, he’d be reprimanded later in private.
Yu Xin, on the other hand, was struggling to maintain her composure. The magnitude of her lie was not lost on her, and she feared that Third Uncle’s intervention might expose her entirely. Still, she forced a smile, hoping to smooth things over.
But the moment Third Uncle took hold of the microphone, the atmosphere shifted entirely.
His hand trembled slightly, betraying his anger, though his expression remained composed.
He addressed Yu Xin directly. “Young lady, who are you?”
The question struck like lightning, silencing the entire auditorium. Gasps ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) of shock echoed throughout the hall.
Qin Han’s face contorted with panic as he blurted out, “Dad, what are you saying?” He frantically signaled to his father, begging him to maintain appearances.
But Third Uncle continued, his voice steady and piercing. “Why is my son calling you his sister? I don’t know you. Since when did the Qin family have a daughter like you?”
All eyes turned to Yu Xin, whose face burned under the collective scrutiny. It felt as though she were being roasted alive.
Her eyes reddened, and this time, her tears weren’t an act.
