After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family Chapter 440

Lü Meihe’s entry into the Qin household occurred after her mother, who had been hired as a domestic servant, brought her along into the family's life.

Growing up in such an environment, however, only served to make her feel vulnerable and overly cautious.

She lived with the constant sensation of being an intruder. Her mother perpetually lectured her to remain grateful, to acknowledge her inferior status, and to never overstep her bounds.

As a young child, she couldn't even grasp where those limits were, leaving her trapped in a state of perpetual dread and uncertainty.

The feeling of true belonging never came to her.

Everything changed on a stormy night when she lost her way in the forest behind the family estate.

Terrified of causing trouble for the Qin family, she didn't dare scream for help, choosing instead to wander the woods alone in search of an exit.

After hours of fruitless searching, she eventually collapsed, sobbing in despair.

At her lowest point, Qin’s father appeared like a savior, equipped with a flashlight and an umbrella.

He lifted her onto his back and carried her the entire way home.

For the young girl, that act was nothing short of a miracle.

It was the moment her heart first stirred with love.

It was the first time she felt a genuine tie to the Qin family.

From then on, she was treated as the cherished younger sister of the household—

Yet, her gaze and her heart were forever fixed upon Qin’s father.

As the years passed, the growing affection from her other "brothers" became obvious.

Grandma Lü saw this and issued frequent warnings—

Even though the old woman spoke in riddles, Lü Meihe grasped the meaning perfectly.

Grandma Lü possessed the soul of a servant; she was convinced her daughter was unworthy of being with the young masters.

She believed firmly that they were destined to wed noblewomen of equal social standing.

She demanded that Lü Meihe remember her place, stay loyal, and never return the family's charity with such betrayal.

Those words acted as a hammer, crushing her secret passion.

If even the other young masters were off-limits, then the eldest, most prestigious Qin father was a goal beyond her wildest dreams.

But who can dictate the whims of the heart?

Just as she gathered the resolve to reveal her feelings—

Qin’s father met Qin’s mother.

Driven by a frantic desperation, she blurted out her confession to him first.

The reaction she received—

Was a look of pure shock and disbelief in the eyes of Qin’s father.

He felt no joy.

He was simply stunned, as if the very thought of her loving him was a bizarre impossibility.

It was as if their age difference and social gap rendered the idea morally repulsive to him.

That single expression—

Layered with pity, rejection, and confusion—

Destroyed her spirit entirely.

Her deep-seated shame and insecurities flared up, validating her worst nightmares—

Was she truly defective?

She could no longer endure the sight of him.

She began to shun Qin’s father.

She avoided the graceful and radiant Qin’s mother.

In her own mind, she was nothing more than a pathetic jester.

Seeking an escape, she buried herself in academic research, obsessed with finding an answer:

Was it a mental illness to love an older man who had helped raise her?

And then—

She observed that all the brothers who once pursued her had suddenly "snapped out of it," returning to treating her simply as a sibling.

They had moved on.

She remained stuck.

The conclusion was undeniable—

The fault lay with her.

It was during this period that she crossed paths with Yu Hongxian.

To save face, she used him as a convenient shield—

Fabricating a story about an online boyfriend.

She even went to Qin’s father, claiming her confession had merely been a confused "brother-complex," re-establishing her role as his little sister.

Yu Hongxian viewed her only as a young student with a passion for psychology.

He took pleasure in debating theories and textbooks with her, even venturing into dark territory—

Topics like psychological suggestion, mental coercion, and hypnosis…

Back then, he thought he was merely flaunting his intellect.

He had no inkling that he was sowing the seeds of a future catastrophe.

Eventually—

Lü Meihe applied what she had learned.

Through self-hypnosis, she buried her obsession for Qin’s father deep underground.

She forced herself to believe she was a normal person.

The years rolled by.

Qin’s father got married. He had children.

Lü Meihe wore a mask of smiles and offered her blessings—

Her secret remained hidden from the world.

Until the birth of Qin Xian.

A true child genius.

Initially, her love for him was genuine.

Because everyone claimed he was the pride and joy of Qin’s father.

Because by nurturing Qin Xian, she was honoring Qin’s father.

She found joy in helping to raise the boy.

Until—

A single sentence shattered her reality.

"You're in love with my dad? My dad only has eyes for my mom. He will never love you."

These were the words of a child who shouldn't have understood the complexities of love.

A prodigy who had pierced through her deepest defense with one look.

In that heartbeat—

The facade she had built over a lifetime came crashing down.

She loathed him.

Her hatred for him was boundless.

She had worked so hard to lock that secret away.

She had nearly convinced herself it wasn't real.

And he had exposed it all.

Did he find it amusing to tear open her old scars?

Did being a genius give him the right to say whatever he pleased?

He was right, of course.

Qin’s father would never return her love.

But she could not accept that truth.

If she could never possess the father—

She would annihilate the thing he valued most.

She would break Qin Xian.

For three long years—

Wearing the mask of a devoted aunt, she subjected him to psychological torment.

Endless criticism, insults, and mockery—she tore down every success he achieved.

She slaughtered every pet he cherished.

And finally—

The "overseas summer camp" was nothing but a fabrication.

She imprisoned him in total darkness for thirty days.

No noise.

No human contact.

Only basic food and water provided.

At such a tender age, he spent an entire month with nothing to do but eat, drink, and sleep in the void.

Nothing else existed.

The Qin family was utterly hoodwinked.

They believed she was his most dedicated guardian.

However, Yu Hongxian sensed something was wrong.

The questions she asked him were becoming too specific, sounding like a real-life experiment.

Then, he stumbled upon Old Master Qin’s request for a medical consultation.

Upon arriving at the Qin residence—

He found Lü Meihe.

And he found a Qin Xian so psychologically shattered that he had retreated into a catatonic state.

Connecting the dots, the truth hit him—

Lü Meihe was mentally unstable.

He should have turned her in.

But instead—

Driven by his own love for her—

He shielded her from the consequences.

He used hypnosis on Qin Xian to bury the memories of the abuse, though the trauma was so severe that even his skills couldn't erase the scars.

Then, he used the threat of exposure to force Lü Meihe to marry him—

Whisking her away for "treatment" so she could pretend to live a "normal" life.

[Why?! Why does a monster like her get a second chance at a normal life, while Qin Xian is still— I’LL KILL THEM! I’LL KILL THEM BOTH!]

Ji Fei’s inner thoughts were choked with tears.

The members of the Qin family completely lost their composure.

Qin Yan and Qin Rong broke down into uncontrollable sobbing.

Qin Chao was a storm of curses.

Qin’s father—

Sank to the floor, weeping in agony.

They didn't care that guests were watching; the pain was too great.

Qin’s mother gripped his shoulders tightly.

"Dear, stand up! This wasn't your doing! It was them! They are the ones who destroyed Qin Xian! We can't leave Feifei to handle this alone—we have to move! We must get justice for our son!"

"Wait!" Qin Chao suddenly bellowed. "Second Brother—he’s gone!"

"Has anyone seen Second Brother or Second Sister-in-law?!"

Voices rose from the crowd—

Several people confirmed they had seen the couple heading upstairs.

But their current location was a mystery.
