After Transmigrating as a Tycoon's Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family-Chapter 364
Third Uncle Qin did not try to justify himself by saying that since Qin Jiaxi hadn’t spoken, he knew nothing. He understood that as a father, failing to notice his daughter’s unusual behavior and not taking the initiative to ask about it was a dereliction of duty. Moreover, his other son had led the charge in making his daughter feel wronged, which was a clear sign of his own failure in parenting. When had his son become so unreasonable, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and blurring the lines between family and outsiders?
Originally, he had wanted to have a good talk with his daughter, but knowing she wouldn’t be able to answer the phone anytime soon, he decisively ended the call and instead dialed Qin Han.
In the lounge, Qin Wenqiang and the family of Fourth Uncle Qin were all present. They exchanged glances, eager to gossip but hesitant to interrupt.
Soon, Qin Han answered the call.
“Dad, I was just about to call you. Let me tell you—” Qin Han was about to lodge a complaint when he was cut off by his father’s icy voice.
“Let me ask you something. Was it you who told Jiaxi not to reveal her identity at school? And you went around saying that Yu Xin is your real sister, letting everyone at the university mistake their identities and bully Jiaxi? What? Are you trying to replace your own sister? Did you even think to ask for my permission?”
Third Uncle Qin, who was usually composed and restrained, had never lashed out so fiercely before.
Beside him, Fourth Uncle Qin whispered to the children, “It’s rare to see Third Uncle this angry.”
Everyone’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Qin Wenqiang couldn’t help but ask her younger brother for details. Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoyu and Qin Jing, who had previously hung out with Ji Fei and the others and were part of a group chat, couldn’t resist seeking the juicy gossip. Qin Zhao and Qin Rong, having some free time, took it upon themselves to fill everyone in on the foolish things Qin Han had done.
Qin Han, however, didn’t think he was in the wrong. Even when confronted by his father, he felt no guilt. Instead, his anger only grew.
“What? She hit someone and still dares to play the victim? Just because I bought Yu Xin a similar bracelet, which led to some classmates misunderstanding and causing trouble for her, does that give her the right to bully Yu Xin in return? Dad, look at this. She’s already bullying others while hiding her identity. If we let her reveal who she is, who knows how much worse she’ll get? I’m only trying to discipline her by making her do this!”
In Qin Han’s eyes, Qin Jiaxi had always been the one bullying Yu Xin. If it weren’t for him and his mother keeping her in check, she would have caused even more trouble.
“Don’t be fooled by her usual act of playing the victim, pretending like everyone’s out to get her. That’s all just an act for us to see. If she didn’t have issues herself, why would so many people target her? As her brother, it’s my duty to keep her in line!”
“As for Yu Xin being my sister, what’s the big deal if I said it? Yu Xin is destined to become part of our family. What’s wrong with me saying she’s my sister ahead of time? If anyone’s to blame, it’s Jiaxi for constantly comparing herself to Yu Xin. Yu Xin is an orphan and already has it hard. Is it so wrong for me to show her a little extra care? Jiaxi’s jealousy and pettiness are the real problems here!”
“What nonsense are you spouting? Don’t you realize that the main reason your sister is being bullied is because of that brat Su Ze? Since Jiaxi’s identity hasn’t been revealed, people look down on her and think she’s not good enough for Su Ze. That’s why they bully her. And the root cause of all this is you, you idiot!”
Qin Han was momentarily stunned. He clearly hadn’t known the full story, but he still refused to believe it. “Dad, you’re really buying into this? I heard that today Jiaxi caused a huge scene, even threatening to break up with Su Ze because he didn’t stand up for her. She even dragged Yu Xin into it, accusing them of having an affair. I only asked Su Ze to look out for Yu Xin, and she’s twisting it into something else. She’s clearly unstable.”
“You!” Third Uncle Qin was so infuriated by his son’s stubbornness that he could barely breathe. Qin Fourth quickly rushed over to pat his back.
“Why are you so cruel to your own sister while being so kind to an outsider?” Third Uncle Qin couldn’t help but ask in confusion.
Qin Han, however, replied as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “I’m just disciplining my sister. If I’m not strict, she might go down the wrong path. And Yu Xin isn’t an outsider. No matter what you or Jiaxi say, Mom and I have already accepted her. We’re definitely going to adopt her. Even if Jiaxi tries to turn the rest of the family against Yu Xin, it won’t work. In fact, it only makes us more determined to adopt her.”
In the past, Third Uncle Qin had been able to keep Qin Han in check, but recently, he had been spending more time with Qin Xian, completely neglecting his son. This had led to Qin Han feeling increasingly resentful. Coupled with Yu Xin’s words of sympathy and support, Qin Han had come to believe that his father was losing his grip on reality and had stopped respecting him altogether.
“You… get back home! We’ll settle this later.” Third Uncle Qin had clearly lost all patience with arguing with Qin Han. For a son who refused to listen, he had no qualms about resorting to more forceful measures.
Moreover, he suspected that his wife might also be part of the problem and was determined to get to the bottom of it once he returned home.
Qin Han, however, was unfazed. After all, Yu Xin had just been through a lot, and if Qin Jiaxi wanted her identity recognized, she’d have to get his approval first.
“Dad, I don’t want to argue with you either. You’re too biased toward Jiaxi. I hope you calm down and think about it. Is it really okay to let Jiaxi continue like this? Our family doesn’t need a young lady with such poor character. It’s embarrassing. I won’t say more. I have things to do and will be home tonight.”
After spouting this nonsense, Qin Han hung up the phone.
This time, Third Uncle Qin was so angry that his vision blurred, and Qin Fourth hurriedly fetched his blood pressure medication.
Third Uncle Qin seemed to deflate all at once.
“How did I raise such a son? Why is this happening?” he murmured to himself.
“Isn’t your son raised by your wife?” Qin Fourth couldn’t help but remark. He had never liked Third Uncle Qin’s wife. His own wife had once said that Third Aunt had a poor character and wasn’t worthy of Third Uncle Qin. She had even predicted that their household would be plagued with strife.
Back then, he hadn’t paid much attention, but now he could see it clearly.

A good son had been turned into such a rebel, and a good daughter had been crushed under the weight of it all.
What a tragedy!
Third Uncle Qin only wallowed in despair for a moment. He knew he would deal with his son later. There was still another matter to attend to.
He turned to Qin Xian and said, “Recently, the Su Family has expressed interest in collaborating with us… I can’t let them treat my daughter like this.”
As the head of the family, Qin Xian’s decisions carried significant weight. If they were to retaliate, the consequences would be substantial. Therefore, Third Uncle Qin felt it necessary to inform him. If Qin Xian or others were unwilling, he was prepared to make concessions. No matter what, he was determined to stand up for his daughter. That scoundrel Su Ze had dared to toy with his daughter’s feelings, and that was absolutely unacceptable.
This time, he would support his daughter to the very end.
