After Transmigrating as a Tycoon's Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family-Chapter 372

Naturally, Qin Xian unconditionally catered to his wife’s whims, treating them as little surprises for her.

However, the subsequent developments left Qin Xian temporarily unable to produce the evidence he had gathered.

The commotion from the campus lecture had drawn significant attention, with Qin Han and Su Ze making entertainment headlines every other day.

Fortunately, Uncle Qin’s unwavering support for his daughter ensured that the Qin family’s reputation remained unaffected.

It seemed that Uncle Qin had even given Qin Han a good beating, which landed him in the hospital. Qin Han hadn’t returned to work since then.

As for Yu Xin, she had gone silent.

Everyone thought the matter had finally come to an end.

But a few days later, Uncle Qin suddenly announced that he would be hosting a birthday banquet for his wife.

In truth, Aunt Qin’s birthday was indeed approaching. However, given her unstable pregnancy and the proximity to the old patriarch’s grand birthday celebration, the family had originally decided to forgo any festivities.

Now, with the sudden change of plans, Uncle Qin justified it by stating that he didn’t want outsiders speculating about tensions within their family.

After all, discord within the family could negatively impact the Qin Group’s business in Y City.

In their social circles, maintaining appearances was crucial.

Uncle Qin brought this up with Qin Jiaxi, as she hadn’t returned home since the incident and had been staying at the old mansion.

“Your mother has calmed down recently. Although she hasn’t said anything outright, I think she wants to mend your relationship,” Uncle Qin said.

Aunt Qin had never directly clashed with Qin Jiaxi, which gave Uncle Qin hope that his wife might not be as stubborn as their son. After all, Jiaxi was her biological daughter.

Although Jiaxi had given up on her brother, she hadn’t completely given up on her mother.

Jiaxi nodded and said, “I also want to see how Mom behaves. If she still doesn’t treat me well, I don’t want to make things hard for you, Dad. In the future, I’d rather live at the old mansion. Grandpa has already agreed.”

Uncle Qin, known for his stoic nature, found his eyes reddening at her words but didn’t argue further.

While he loved his wife, he also loved his daughter. If his wife truly remained unrepentant, he wouldn’t hesitate to divorce her and raise their daughter on his own, leaving both his wife and son behind.

Reflecting on the arguments they’d had when he first returned home, Uncle Qin sometimes doubted whether he truly loved such an unreasonable woman.

Still, for the sake of the family, he was determined to try his best.

With Aunt Qin’s birthday approaching, the other members of the Qin family were naturally expected to attend.

Uncle Qin mentioned the event to Qin Xian, noting that while the guest list was limited, many attendees would undoubtedly be there for Qin Xian.

Qin Xian acknowledged this but noticed Uncle Qin seemed to be looking forward to it.

Qin Xian wasn’t the type to hold back just because someone else seemed happy.

Worried that the situation might escalate into conflict, Qin Xian decided to lay everything out for his uncle, presenting all the findings from his investigation so far.

Of course, he didn’t foolishly admit that he had been investigating Aunt Qin.

Instead, he said, “Because of the plans to adopt Yu Xin, I had someone look into her background.”

Uncle Qin assumed Qin Xian had been vetting Yu Xin’s suitability.

“Since we’ve dropped the idea of adopting her, there’s no need to dwell on it,” Uncle Qin replied.

Qin Xian handed over the documents and said, “It’s still better for you to take a look.”

The file contained extensive information about Aunt Qin.

Uncle Qin was aware that his wife had known Yu Xin for a long time. Investigating Yu Xin and finding connections to his wife wasn’t surprising, given her longstanding involvement in charity work. Yu Xin had been from an orphanage his wife supported. Over time, they had grown close, with Aunt Qin often providing financial support. Since Aunt Qin frequently brought their son along on these visits, Uncle Qin had never suspected anything unusual.

In hindsight, the bond between their son and Yu Xin likely stemmed from these early connections.

However, as Uncle Qin reviewed the documents, his brows furrowed deeply.

It was true that Aunt Qin had been engaged in charity work, with clear records of significant donations. However, a closer look at the financial transactions revealed that almost all the funds had ended up in Yu Xin’s personal account.

If this had been happening for years, Yu Xin should have been exceedingly wealthy by now and wouldn’t have cared about losing her apartment.

Yet, Yu Xin didn’t seem to have much money, as her account regularly transferred funds to another account.

While the account holder’s name was unfamiliar, the individual’s location was clear—it was in another city.

This city held particular significance because Aunt Qin’s ex-boyfriend had hailed from there.

Before she married Uncle Qin, Aunt Qin had broken up with her ex-boyfriend before the formal matchmaking between the Qin and her family began. The man had long since left Y City, and Aunt Qin had shown no signs of lingering attachment. Uncle Qin had always regarded this as a trivial piece of history and had never harbored any suspicions.

Now, however, the coincidences forced him to reconsider.

If Yu Xin had orchestrated this entire scheme, it seemed implausible, as Aunt Qin had willingly provided the funds.

Qin Xian clearly couldn’t delve too deeply into Aunt Qin’s accounts, leaving Uncle Qin to investigate how his wife’s financial manager had been handling the charity funds.

As a man, Uncle Qin’s pride prevented him from dwelling on worst-case scenarios until the truth was uncovered.

He took the file from Qin Xian, thanked him, and left.

When Qin Xian stepped outside, he found Ji Fei and his siblings eagerly chatting away.

Among them, Ji Fei was the only one who hadn’t met Aunt Qin yet.

Ji Fei had a hunch that Aunt Qin was hiding some significant secrets.

The rest of the family, particularly Qin Xian’s second uncle’s household, had a feeling that Aunt Qin’s birthday banquet would be eventful. After all, Ji Fei had earned her reputation as the queen of uncovering scandals among the elite for a reason.

On the day of the banquet, aside from the old patriarch and his wife, the rest of the Qin family arrived in full force, ensuring a grand show of support for Uncle Qin.

Aunt Qin’s previous avoidance of social events had irked many, as it seemed disrespectful to the second and fourth branches of the family.

However, as an older pregnant woman, she always had excuses that left others reluctant to criticize her. Now that the elders were attending voluntarily, Aunt Qin had no room for further faux pas.

Qin Jiaxi arrived with Qin Rong, the two girls of similar age getting along well.

As they approached the house, Jiaxi felt a wave of nervousness. It had been too long since she last returned.

Stepping out of the car at the gate, they saw Qin Han waiting.

He greeted «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» them with a smile, maintaining an impeccable facade. However, his expression froze momentarily when he spotted them, only to force out another smile.

Ji Fei, getting out of the car, caught Qin Han’s fleeting change of expression.

“Oh, let me guess. Are you up to something shady again? Planning to pressure Uncle Qin into formally adopting Yu Xin today? Hiding her in the house? You’re delusional if you think that’ll work.”

Qin Xian’s second uncle’s household stumbled slightly at her commentary, knowing full well there was drama brewing.
