After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family Chapter 406
He probably didn’t say much because he was afraid of making mistakes, and also because he wanted to protect his son’s future inheritance rights. After all, it was his hard-earned wealth, and it was understandable for him to leave it to his son. But it was a pity that Lu Yunqing had to stay with him to start over.
Still, he believed that Lu Yunqing loved him so much that she would definitely agree.
Lu Yunqing only felt a sense of deep loss, but she didn’t say anything else. After all, she couldn’t stop the divorce. Moreover, if she kept persuading him, it might lead to exposure, though she knew she would eventually have to apologize to Ayu.
But the longer she could delay that moment, the better.
For now, she planned to spend more time with Ayu, cheering her up as her final way of making amends.
After stirring up some trouble, Ji Fei retreated obediently. Since she had no evidence, saying anything further would be pointless because they would never admit to it. She just hoped to plant seeds of doubt in everyone’s minds.
At least this way, these people wouldn’t dare to flirt under everyone’s noses while staying at the Qin family’s house, making everyone sick.
"Hey, just now..." Qin Yi whispered cautiously from the side.
Ji Fei had almost forgotten about Qin Yi. She quickly activated her clever brain to come up with an excuse, but her husband spoke first. "Didn’t she already say it? She saw those two flirting and suspected something was up."
Ji Fei immediately beamed and hugged her husband. "Yes, exactly."
"What? They were actually flirting?" Qin Yi was stunned. "Could it really be true?"
"You can ask Aunt if she’s ever seen the mistress or knows who she is. If she doesn’t even know who it is, isn’t she the most suspicious one?" Ji Fei suggested.
Qin Yi was dumbfounded and then asked, "Then why did she try to mediate? Who would willingly be a mistress?"
"Who knows what goes on in a mistress’s head," Ji Fei said with a pout. "Maybe she thinks she’s some kind of saint, trying to gain virtue. But whatever virtue she’s earning definitely isn’t enough, hahaha."
Ji Fei couldn’t hold back and almost laughed out loud. Fortunately, Qin Xian raised his hand to cover her mouth. As a result, Ji Fei leaned against his solid chest, her eyes sparkling as she laughed and looked at him.
Qin Xian smiled gently and leaned closer. "What are you looking at?"
"Looking at how handsome my husband is," Ji Fei said, feeling her heart flutter more and more these days because of Qin Xian’s actions.
When he was scolding people earlier, Qin Xian seemed like a completely different person—he was practically glowing!
Qin Xian couldn’t handle his wife’s adoring gaze. Without caring about anyone else, he placed a kiss on her forehead.
Qin Yi, who was watching from the side, couldn’t take it anymore. They’re still talking about the divorce over there, for crying out loud.
Everything was settled, and they were arranging for the lawyer to come over.
The lawyer needed to prepare materials and coordinate with the law firm abroad, which required time.
This meant they would have to stay here for another two days.
Since Lu Yunqing was here as a close friend, she naturally stayed with Qin Wu Gu. Zhao Chengle, though still upset with the Qin family, couldn’t just leave since he was still considered the Qin family’s grandson.
Logically, Zhao Jianghe shouldn’t have had the face to stay any longer.
But he shamelessly insisted on staying, claiming he needed to spend the night and leave after handling things tomorrow. He also said he needed to pack up his personal belongings, as he used to visit the old residence occasionally to see the patriarch. If the lawyer needed anything, he could communicate immediately.
Qin Wu Gu didn’t bother to drive him out. Although she harbored resentment, she wasn’t hysterical about it, so she simply arranged for him to stay in a guest room.
Previously, when Lu Yunqing was arranged to see the doctor, they had also prepared a guest room in advance, which would naturally be used for her.
As a result, the two of them ended up staying alone on the guest floor.
Since Lu Yunqing went to talk privately with Qin Wu Gu after the discussions, few people noticed anything unusual.
Even Ji Fei forgot, only seeing Lu Yunqing following Qin Wu Gu and Zhao Jianghe carrying his suitcase elsewhere.
After his earlier conflict with them, Zhao Chengle first accompanied his father to the guest room and then returned to the building designated for the younger generation.
When he walked into the living room, where a group of people was sitting and chatting, they all turned to look at him simultaneously. Embarrassed, he could only step forward and greet them.
This time, he acted politely, even addressing Ji Fei as "Second Sister-in-law" and voluntarily apologizing to Qin Xian and Ji Fei for the earlier argument.
Though it was clear he wasn’t sincere and still thought Ji Fei was making things difficult for Lu Yunqing, his manners were acceptable.
It seemed Qin Wu Gu had taught him well, though somewhere along the way, his morals went astray.
Children often resent those who are stricter with them, especially when they feel unfairly treated. While some parents may indeed act out of selfish motives, most are just worried about their children’s ability to handle future risks.
Qin Wu Gu had been strict with Zhao Chengle because the Zhao family was disharmonious. With the Qin family as his backing, Zhao Chengle was a target of envy. He had to be excellent to stand firm, so she didn’t allow him to indulge in pleasure at a young age.
But Lu Yunqing had taken advantage of Qin Wu Gu’s strictness, always acting sympathetic toward Zhao Chengle, offering him benefits, and helping him escape discipline. As a result, Zhao Chengle grew closer to Lu Yunqing.
This was partly Qin Wu Gu’s fault—Lu Yunqing had been so convincing that even Qin Wu Gu didn’t suspect her. She just thought Lu Yunqing was soft-hearted and immature, a child in need of guidance.
It had to be said—Lu Yunqing’s ability to manipulate this family of three was impressive.
The most hot-tempered among them, Qin Chao, spoke first. "You little brat, I’ve seen you every year at the old residence, and you never acted this way. Siding with the mistress and your dad? Are you out of your mind?"
Zhao Chengle wasn’t overly respectful to him either and responded immediately, "Don’t look at me like that. You don’t understand the full story. Let me ask you—what would you do if, after getting married, you met your soulmate? This soulmate is kindhearted and has no intention of ruining your family, but in your time of crisis, they’re willing to die for you. Could you honestly say you wouldn’t be moved?"
His hypothetical question left everyone momentarily stunned, so they listened as he continued.
"Besides, I think my dad is pretty responsible. Once he realized he couldn’t separate from her, he faced the consequences head-on. The Zhao family didn’t want him to divorce, and she didn’t ask for a divorce either. But he didn’t want to burden my mom and wanted to give the other person an explanation. Isn’t that enough? I won’t deny that my mom was wronged, but I can also understand his struggles. Could any of you have done better?"
