After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family Chapter 435
Previously on After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family...
"Mom, they're..." Yu Lu started, her voice thick with the urge to tattle.
"Listen, today is a monumental occasion for our patriarch. With such a massive gathering, friction is bound to happen. If you feel slighted, just swallow your pride for now. We can settle accounts once the festivities conclude. Don't spoil the atmosphere—your second brother will be furious if you do," Qin Wugu replied, a faint smile playing on her lips.
It was obvious to everyone that Yu Lu’s petty tactics over the last couple of days hadn't gone unnoticed.
Lü Meihe sighed, looking at her daughter with a mix of helplessness and warning as she grasped her hand. "Stop looking for trouble. Just stay by my side."
Though Yu Lu felt deeply mistreated, she withered under her mother's sharp gaze. Surrounded by so many formidable Elders, the heavy atmosphere made it impossible for her to throw a tantrum.
Seething with resentment, Yu Lu retreated to her mother’s quarters and dialed her father, sobbing into the phone the moment he picked up.
Yu Hongxian was stunned to learn they had already made their return.
"Why wasn't I informed of this?!"
Startled by his harsh tone, Yu Lu’s temper flared even higher.
"Why are you shouting at me?! Does it even matter? I'm telling you right now—Qin Xian is treating me like garbage!"
"Qin Xian... Has your mother encountered Qin Xian yet?" Yu Hongxian pressed urgently.
"What? Of course! We've been here for ages! Dad, what is wrong with you?"
"Has anything out of the ordinary happened during these past two days?" he demanded once more.
"Huh? Even if you're obsessed with Mom, this is going too far. What could be wrong? She’s been glued to Grandma’s side! I’m the one talking to you! Dad, help me! I’ve never wanted a man this much, and now he’s putting on this massive proposal for that woman! What is he playing at?! Dad, aren’t you a master of hypnosis? Hypnotize him! Force him to be obsessed with me!"
"Be quiet!"
Yu Hongxian’s roar through the receiver was so sudden that Yu Lu went cold.
"Dad...?"
"Lulu, pay attention. You can pursue anyone in this world, but Qin Xian is off-limits. Keep your distance. And make sure your mother doesn't get close to him either."
"But Dad—!"
"Do as I tell you! Qin Xian is not an option! I'm heading your way as fast as possible... Dammit, there's a storm brewing... Listen, Lulu, watch your mother closely. I’ll arrive as soon as I can. If she starts acting strange, call me instantly! Don't breathe a word of this to anyone, you hear? This is vital! It concerns the fate of our entire family!"
Yu Hongxian hammered the point home repeatedly. Never having heard her father so shaken, Yu Lu found herself nodding in subconscious agreement. It was only after the line went dead that her frustration boiled over again. She dove into her bed, burying her face in the blankets as she wept in a fit of rage.
Simultaneously, Lü Meihe received a call from her husband. They spoke briefly, exchanging the usual pleasantries. Relieved that he wasn't angry about her impulsive trip, she finally relaxed.
A short while later, Qin Xian appeared in the doorway, donned in a suit that stood in stark contrast to his usual attire.
The garment was impeccably tailored, highlighting his sharp, handsome features, while subtle, dark embroidery on the fabric spoke of a refined, quiet elegance. Paired with a pristine white shirt, the black suit radiated an aura of understated luxury. His presence was so polished and commanding that he seemed almost otherworldly.
Just the sight of him brought Qin’s parents to the brink of tears. They could hardly fathom how emotional the actual wedding ceremony would be.
After escorting the Elders outside, Qin Xian took his place at a specific vantage point. A path blanketed in flower petals stretched out from where he stood, leading all the way to the entrance of the new villa.
Clutching a bouquet, he stood perfectly still, his gaze locked onto a single point with absolute, unwavering devotion.
Inside, Ji Fei stood before a full-length mirror, her mind spinning in confusion.
"Wait... is this really the dress code for a birthday banquet?"
She was draped in a snow-white gown, a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The mermaid silhouette hugged her waist perfectly, transitioning into a dramatic train adorned with pearls. The hem was elegantly short in the front and cascaded like ocean waves in the back, shimmering with every movement. Those weren't just sequins catching the light—they were genuine diamonds.
The cut emphasized her long, graceful legs, and the cinched waist made her look incredibly delicate. Surprisingly, despite the intricate design, Ji Fei found it perfectly comfortable.
To finish the ensemble, she had been adorned with a full set of ruby jewelry, making her appear even more radiant.
When she finally emerged, the room full of women let out collective gasps of awe.
"Ahhh! Sister-in-law, you look absolutely stunning!" Qin Rong squealed, her fingers flying as she snapped photo after photo.
Qin Yan’s eyes grew misty. "Beautiful. Truly beautiful. As expected, our Feifei is the most radiant of all."
"Wait... isn't this a bit excessive? This is still Grandfather’s birthday celebration, isn't it?"
Ji Fei was bewildered. Was this how the elite truly celebrated? She thought "subtle luxury" was the goal, but this... if they added a veil, she’d be ready to walk down the aisle!
Qin Yan and Qin Rong traded looks of secret guilt.
Suddenly, Qin Rong let out a cry while looking at her phone. "Oh no! Second Brother is in a bind! Sister-in-law, hurry, you have to go!"
Seeing both sisters-in-law rushing out in a state of panic, Ji Fei didn't have a second to lose. Had Yu Lu actually managed to pull something off?!
She hurried down the stairs in her high heels, her movements so fluid she didn't even need to hold up her skirt. The hem danced behind her, carving a beautiful path through the air.
But the moment she cleared the entrance, she froze, completely stunned.
The courtyard was unrecognizable from the scene she had witnessed just four hours prior.
It felt as though she had been transported into a fairytale world.
The instant she appeared, the air was filled with the sound of cheering and enthusiastic applause.
At the far end of the petal-strewn path stood a man bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun, looking as if he were touched by a divine light.
He offered her a smile, reaching out a hand in a silent, beckoning invitation.
In that heartbeat, the truth dawned on Ji Fei.
Yet, for the first time, a wave of genuine nerves fluttered in her chest.
This... was Qin Xian’s proposal?
Without warning, Ji Fei felt the sting of tears prickling her eyes.
As she began her walk, two flower stems were suddenly held out before her.
Qin Yan and Qin Rong approached, each holding a bloom, and carefully placed a delicate crown and a flowing veil upon her head.
"Go on, Feifei."
"Go and officially become my second sister-in-law."
Ji Fei accepted the flowers and moved forward.
Along the path of petals, she saw a sea of familiar faces, each person holding a flower and wearing a look of pure blessing.
Luo Fei was the first to greet her.
"Wishing you a lifetime of happiness."
Next were Guo Yalan and Han Ziyu.
"I’m the one who designed this gown. It’s gorgeous, right?"
"Fei-jie, wuwuwu, you look so beautiful I can't stand it!"
Then Yu Yue appeared, supporting a sobbing Bai Xiaoxi.
"I don't even know why I'm crying, I'm just so moved!" Bai Xiaoxi wailed.
"Looks like you've beaten us to the punch. Congratulations, truly!"
Cen Ting and Jing Yan stood on opposite sides, offering their flowers.
"I handled the ruby set—top tier quality, definitely a solid investment for the future."
"Try not to be too hard on my brother."
A group of striking women followed.
Pei Mingxuan smirked: "Tsk, I was hoping to keep making a profit off your single status, but it looks like President Qin isn't interested in keeping this marriage a secret anymore."
Yu Rouyin and Sun Man added: "Boss, congrats! But don't forget the studio. You've still got a career to manage!"
"Look over here!"
Ji Fei turned toward the sound of a shutter. Ruan Jia stood there, camera in hand, wearing a confident smile. "Good things happen to those with good hearts. You'll be happy forever."
Ji Fei was overwhelmed. She never imagined that everyone she had encountered in this new life would be here, gathered together by Qin Xian’s personal invitation.
Then, a truly surprising face appeared—Chu Xinyue.
She handed Ji Fei a flower, her voice soft. "Fei-jie, be happy. Second Brother Qin will surely cherish you."
Further down the path, she encountered Qin Chao.
He raised an amused eyebrow while handing her a flower. "Stay focused. Second Brother has been waiting for you."
Ji Fei smiled, her heart full as she continued her walk.
The other Qin siblings followed. At the very end of the line, Qin Jiaxi and Qin Tiantian were clinging to her, weeping so hard that the others had to physically pry them away to let her pass.
Finally, Ji Fei reached Qin’s mother and father.
Both were visibly emotional, their eyes red with joy.
"Feifei, have no fear. Ah Xian will protect and cherish you."
"Mhm. And if he ever steps out of line, just come to me—I'll give him a proper thrashing for you!"
Ji Fei let out a tearful laugh as the drops finally escaped her eyes.
It was a scene of pure bliss, set against a backdrop of music that felt like a dream. Despite the joy, a powerful surge of emotion made her chest ache and her nose tingle with warmth.
She finally lifted her head—
And met that profound, steady gaze, the one that had been watching her with limitless love for what felt like an eternity.
