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

Chapter 36

To Ji Fei's surprise, she discovered she had a talent for viral marketing.

Ji Fei felt guilty, "I didn't mean to do it on purpose. We're all family here, and everyone is just concerned about you and Xinyue's situation. Besides, think about it - if you and Xinyue ever have a chance in the future, this video might become a beautiful memory."

Qin Zhao: Thanks a lot for that!

[Even though I'm sure they'll break up, I'll just deceive him for now to avoid his anger being directed at me.]

Qin Zhao: ...You! Your apology isn't even sincere!

"By the way, about Chu Xueqi..." Ji Fei quickly changed the subject when she saw Qin Zhao's expression change.

[How should I explain this? It's a matter of life and death, I can't not say anything, but how do I explain where I got this information?]

Qin Zhao gave Ji Fei an irritated look, but decided to help her out, "Something's wrong with Chu Xueqi. Brother Gao just told me... he's worried she might do something extreme. Stay far away from her if you see her in the future."

Qin Zhao managed to keep both sides in the dark; neither Brother Gao nor Ji Fei would suspect anything.

Ji Fei was surprised, not expecting that someone already knew. This put her mind at ease.

Ji Fei said with a smile, "Luckily you still... ahem... dodged a bullet."

Qin Zhao's face turned green.

"Go to sleep already!" Out of sight, out of mind.

Ji Fei shrugged.

[Why are you so angry? Is being a virgin something to be ashamed of? Your family has two virgin men! Your brother is still one even now, and he doesn't feel ashamed. I get it now, it must be a family trait.]

Qin Zhao looked at Ji Fei in shock: ??

What did he just hear? Did she just reveal herself? So that incident from back then was really fake?

No, no, no, the key point is that his second brother is the same as him!!!!

He seemed to understand those exclamation marks in the group chat... they weren't just for him!

At least he had his brother for company. This was the only consolation of the night.

Far away at the Qin Family Estate, Qin Xian, who had just finished dealing with business matters, suddenly felt something was off.

Then he seemed to hear whispers coming from somewhere in the supposedly quiet Qin Family Estate.

Why isn't everyone asleep at this late hour?

Puzzled, Qin Xian checked his phone's memo pad before going to bed, only to find a video forwarded by his mother.

He opened it curiously to take a look.

Qin Xian: ...

When Qin Zhao returned to his room exhausted, he received a call from Qin Xian.

Calling so late at night, Qin Zhao strongly suspected that someone else had also seen the video.

But while he might feel embarrassed in front of others, facing his brother who was in the same situation, hah! His brother had been a virgin longer than him and even had a wife.

A strange sense of competitiveness made Qin Zhao straighten his back as he answered the phone.

Qin Xian had originally intended to call and check on his brother, who had been crying and kneeling in the video, but instead he heard his brother's tattling.

"You saw the video?"

"...Yes."

"Brother, I was bullied by your wife."

"...I think you sound quite spirited right now."

"Brother, you've changed. Are you still my real brother?"

"..." Why did his brother become so unserious after going out with Ji Fei?

"Yes, you are my real brother. Sister-in-law just said we're a family of two virgins, it's a family trait."

"..." His hand itched to hit his brother. "I'm hanging up."

"Ah, wait, brother, I have something important to tell you." Qin Zhao stopped seeking psychological balance and quickly brought up the investment matter.

"I heard Ji Fei mention it. How about this, I'll come pick you up tomorrow and handle this matter while I'm at it."

"Ah, it's fine if you just agree, you don't need to come in person. I can handle it."

"This is a field that Qin Corporation hasn't ventured into before."

Qin Zhao became anxious, "You really don't need to come, don't steal my thunder. I want to use this to impress Xinyue."

Qin Xian was silent for a moment, "Don't coerce the other party."

"What do you take me for! Of course I won't!"

"So you really won't give up?"

Qin Zhao fell silent for a moment, "I don't want to give up, really... I don't. I like her so much. Why am I only realizing now that I've actually liked her so much for so long?"

Qin Xian was at a loss for words hearing the tearful voice. He waited for a while until the other party calmed down.

"By the way, about Chu Xueqi..." Qin Zhao explained the situation, then said darkly, "She wanted to harm me. I want to make it impossible for her to gain a foothold in high society."

Qin Xian hadn't expected such a malicious incident. He immediately exuded a chilling aura, "Mm, leave it to me to handle."

Early the next morning, Qin Zhao thick-skinned approached the professor as if nothing had happened, and arranged to meet at the hotel's breakfast buffet downstairs.

Naturally, the research group members would all go together. Only Cao Ya was absent, which puzzled the professor a bit. Actually, Cao Ya had a sister in town, and unable to face the others last night, she had left the hotel to stay with her sister.

The professor didn't think much of it. Hearing about the investment, his face lit up with joy, excited to see hope as he introduced the project to Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao gave high praise and stated that once they prepared the report materials, he would take them to Qin Corporation to officially sign the contract.

Everyone was a bit incredulous, feeling that it all seemed too easy. Except for the professor, the others couldn't help but look towards Chu Xinyue.

They all understood in their hearts that this was all because of Chu Xinyue.

Chu Xinyue actually felt somewhat uncomfortable, but seeing that the professor could fulfill his lifelong wish and make scientific research contributions to the country, she still felt comforted.

She couldn't help but look up, only to see sunlight falling on someone's shoulders through the glass window.

When their eyes met, Chu Xinyue smiled faintly, "Thank you."

Qin Zhao was taken aback, not feeling happy about Chu Xinyue's good attitude.

After everything that happened yesterday, Chu Xinyue could have avoided him, rejected him, or even felt awkward - all of these would have indicated some kind of reaction towards him.

What he feared most was her indifference, which was like an invisible fist shattering his fantasies.

He understood in his heart that although Ji Fei's words were unpleasant, she always spoke the truth. There was almost no possibility of them being together now.

But he could only avoid facing it. Even if he could look at her for just one more moment, it would be good.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tao, who was enthusiastically enjoying the buffet at the hotel, happened to see them. Having developed a habit of gossiping, she immediately sent a message to Ji Fei, who was still sleeping in.

"I see Professor Qin and Miss Chu."

Ji Fei woke up, looked at the message, and jolted awake, hurriedly asking: "Which Chu?"

"The beautiful researcher sister."

Ji Fei thought to herself that she must have been stupid to think it was Chu Xueqi. After realizing this, she felt the urge to witness the scene in person.

She got up and quickly got ready. "Save me a seat, I'll be there soon."

"But it looks like they're almost finished eating."

Ji Fei didn't reply. Xiao Tao could only hold onto her phone, keeping an eye on the situation over there.

Having settled the investment issue, the excited professor wanted to hurry back to prepare the report, so everyone decided not to stay at the hotel any longer.

They were about to leave after finishing breakfast.

Xiao Tao had no choice but to send a message to Ji Fei.

But soon, Ji Fei called her.

"Quick, stop them! There's danger!" Her voice came through the phone, almost shouting while running.

Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, then quickly rushed out to find them, but the hotel had multiple exits, and she had no idea which way they had gone.

At the same time, Ji Fei had just come down from the elevator. Her face had turned pale, and she saw a group of people walking towards the elevator from afar.

Ji Fei was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly saw a dark figure rapidly approaching from behind them.

Ji Fei couldn't make out who it was, so she could only shout, "Xinyue, watch out behind you!"

Everyone was startled and reflexively turned to look.

Only Qin Zhao reacted first, taking two quick steps forward to shield Xinyue's back!
