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

Chapter 196

Qin Xian had never paid attention to those rumors, so naturally, he didn't know. But since they brought it up in such an irritating way, making Ji Fei curious, he had to clarify things.

Everyone had seen that photograph and naturally had heard the story behind it.

Luo Fei had already completely believed Qin Xian's words. Although she felt reluctant to say it, feeling it was too hurtful, it was indeed Yu Zhi and her group who had started the drama first. If Qin Xian didn't protect the person he cared about now, he wouldn't be Qin Xian - after all, the Qin Family was known for being protective of their own.

And now Ji Fei was officially under Qin Xian's protection.

"They say you had a fever and were delirious, and because you missed Yu Zhi so much, you went looking for her in confusion. When you couldn't contact her, you waited under the streetlight until Yu Zhi found you."

As soon as Luo Fei finished speaking, the panic on Yu Zhi's face was evident.

Because when others had asked her about it, she had shyly implied it was true, and several people had witnessed this, so they had always thought...

Qin Xian's mouth was already twitching.

"I seem to remember now - it was Christmas Eve when you went to the hospital and came back the next night with Yu Zhi. You still had a fever when you returned," Yu Yue, as his roommate, though believing Qin Xian's words, couldn't help but state the facts.

After Yu Yue's reminder, Qin Xian seemed to remember something and suddenly frowned, looking at Ji Fei. He didn't know how to begin.

Ji Fei blinked. [Why are you looking at me? Could it have something to do with me? Impossible.]

Qin Xian sighed and said, "Do you remember when you were fifteen and fainted on your first day at our home, ending up in the hospital? It was Christmas Eve."

Everyone present knew about how the Qin Family had adopted Ji Fei when she was fifteen after her parents passed away and left her in their care.

Regarding the original memories, Ji Fei naturally knew, but faced with Qin Xian's recollection, she felt somewhat awkward and could only nod, "I think so."

Qin Xian turned and explained, "My parents were very worried that day, so they called all of us siblings to stay at the hospital, which is why I was there for a day. When I returned the next night, I hadn't gone looking for Yu Zhi - I just happened to be on my way back to the dormitory. As for standing under the streetlight, it was because... I was just thinking about something."

Qin Xian also remembered why he had stood there so long in the snowy night - he had been thinking about Ji Fei.

That day, when Ji Fei woke up in the hospital bed and suddenly said to them: "I'm sorry, and thank you."

At that time, he couldn't understand Ji Fei's expression, and when she said she was tired and needed to sleep, he felt as if half his heart had emptied for a moment.

Until the next day when Ji Fei woke up, restored to her spirits, but suddenly started watching him frequently - that kind of gaze inexplicably made him very uncomfortable, so he made an excuse to return to school.

"...I only got the fever later because I stood thinking for too long. I wasn't in the hospital because of a prior fever," Qin Xian calmly stated, "If you want to verify the truth, everything can be checked with evidence."

"Qin... Xian..." Yu Zhi was dumbfounded, not expecting Qin Xian to be so cold and ruthless. Since he knew she had made it up, couldn't he show any consideration for their past relationship? Did he have to expose it right there?

Even if... even if there was no love, shouldn't there still be some sentiment from their years together?

Yu Zhi's eyes finally showed reproach. She wanted to question Qin Xian but fell silent when met with his cold gaze.

"So it all started with one photo, and the whole story was made up? To achieve such an effect - even gossip accounts aren't this capable!" Suddenly, Ji Fei's voice rang out. Although it was just a small jab, it was like oil hitting a hot pan.

The previously quiet scene instantly became chaotic.

What a major plot twist!

Ji Fei realized she had gotten too caught up in watching the drama and accidentally spoke out, immediately shutting her mouth. After all, in this situation, if she intervened further, she would become involved, and would be attacked. She preferred observing from the sidelines.

If Qin Xian hadn't been holding her, Ji Fei would probably have sat down to watch the show while eating snacks.

"I can't believe it! It was all fake!"

"Fine, fine, fine! Online celebrity couples are fake, and now real-life couples are fake too? Don't NPCs' lives matter? Where's the beautiful love I believed in?!"

"I'm really starting to believe that showing off your love leads to quick death!"

"Now I understand what it means to lift a rock only to drop it on your own feet. The married couple was living peacefully, but when Yu Zhi came back and pulled this stunt, she ended up hurting herself."

"Hilarious! Zhu Lingling just said the unloved one is the third wheel, but now who's the third wheel?"

[Tsk tsk tsk, this is truly a satisfying breakdown. I feel like I'm watching countless CP fans facing the horror of their ship being destroyed right before their eyes.]

The discussions grew so loud that Yu Zhi was trembling all over.

Zhu Lingling's face turned pale as she turned to Yu Zhi. "What he said is true? Your past love was all fake! You lied to me!"

[Ah, the silence has been shattered, regret comes rushing in~]

Yu Zhi's lips trembled, knowing she had completely lost any chance with Qin Xian and that her image was about to crumble. She had to cut her losses.

Suddenly, Yu Zhi seemed to break down and said, "Yes, I did it."

She looked at Qin Xian and said, "Back then, although you agreed to date me, you were always so cold. What could I do? I loved you, so I could only deceive myself. Then everyone started believing more and more in our love story, and I was pushed forward with no choice. When I saw you didn't clarify things, I thought you had tacitly approved. Now you come to refute it, making me lose face. Why are you being so cruel to me? I mistakenly thought you were just showing indifference but actually wanted me inside. I was even worried you would suffer because of my illness, would waste your time waiting for me, so I painfully broke up... I finally came back, how could you... treat me like this, wuu wuu wuu."

This confession gradually silenced everyone, as they stared at Yu Zhi, momentarily unable to voice any criticism.

"Saying such things face to face is a bit too harsh!"

"Yu Zhi's sincere feelings were just misplaced, it's actually quite pitiful. She left when she was sick, held onto hope to come back and see Qin Xian, only to hear all this - just thinking about it is heartbreaking."

"It's actually understandable. After all, there were rumors that Ji Fei's position wasn't legitimate, so when Yu Zhi came back wanting to test things out, trying to win back her true love... it's not completely unforgivable, right? It's just that we didn't expect the couple to actually be so good together! If I hadn't come today and seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it either!"

...

[If I didn't know the truth, I would have sympathized with Yu Zhi too! Honestly, whether as a marketing account or an actress, you'd be top talent in the industry! At this point, we can't just watch her turn the situation around. We should first question her health issues, then make her prove it. If she doesn't dare to prove it, wouldn't that show she's lying?]

But before Ji Fei could act.

Qin Xian stepped in again, as he couldn't let Ji Fei risk being attacked, even if she would succeed.

"I remember now, before you went abroad, you participated in the class physical examination at the Qin Corporation's private hospital. Because you were my girlfriend then, someone showed me your medical report... there didn't seem to be any problems. What happened? Did you suddenly get sick during those two days?"

This made-up lie instantly drained all color from Yu Zhi's face.

Had that really happened?

Why couldn't she remember? At that time, she had been too busy, overwhelmed with many things.

But seeing Qin Xian so calm, was it true?!!!

She was finished...
