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

Since Qin Yi changed the subject, Qin Xian smoothly took over and began introducing Ji Fei to Third Uncle's family.

Third Uncle's family includes Third Uncle and Third Aunt. Although they married early, they had children relatively late. Their eldest son, Qin Han, just graduated with a master's degree this year, while their daughter, Qin Jiaxi, is only a freshman in college.

Ji Fei naturally scanned through the information she was most concerned about first.

*[Third Uncle's family, the people present... hmm, they pass. But it's hard to say about Third Aunt since she's not here.]*

The Qin family's second branch breathed a brief sigh of relief.

Qin Xian paused for a moment, glancing at Ji Fei out of the corner of his eye, deep in thought.

Third Uncle was the first to speak up and explain, "I apologize. Third Aunt was supposed to join us today, but..."

At this point, a rare softness and awkwardness appeared on Third Uncle's usually stern face.

"Dad, everyone, Zi Xuan is pregnant. She's already three months along."

The room erupted in surprise, and the joy of welcoming a new life filled the hall.

*[Wow, Third Uncle and Third Aunt aren't exactly young anymore, and they're having another child...]*

As she thought this, Ji Fei's gaze shifted to Qin's Father and Qin's Mom.

Qin's Father and Qin's Mom immediately stiffened. No, they couldn't possibly—they were in their fifties, definitely too old for that! Besides, they already had enough children; among the Qin siblings, they had the most kids.

The other siblings stifled their laughter.

Third Uncle continued, "A while ago, Zi Xuan was in a minor car accident, which caused some instability with the pregnancy. That's why we didn't dare tell anyone until now. She's still recovering, so we'll bring her over once she's more stable."

Qin's Father and Qin's Mom immediately assured him there was no need to rush, while Grandpa Qin and Grandma Lv were overjoyed.

"Zi Xuan is already an older mother, so your family must take extra care of her and spend more time with her. She can come for the big birthday celebration," Grandpa Qin said excitedly, as this might be the last newborn he would see in his lifetime.

Seeing his grandfather so happy, Qin Han suddenly became enthusiastic. "Grandpa, you don't know this yet, but during that accident, it was actually a girl who saved Mom. If it weren't for her, who knows what might have happened? She saved both Mom and my unborn sibling. Mom and I feel we owe her a great debt, so we're thinking of having the family adopt her as a foster daughter."

The abrupt introduction of this topic brought the room to a stunned silence.

Grandpa Qin was also taken aback. "Oh? Is that so?" he said, turning to Third Uncle.

Third Uncle's expression shifted slightly, and he shot Qin Han a displeased look. "There was indeed a girl who saved Zi Xuan. She's also Jiaxi's friend. She used to visit our home occasionally because the orphanage she grew up in was supported by Zi Xuan's charity work. She's always been grateful to Zi Xuan and was with her during the accident. It was this girl who bravely pulled Zi Xuan out of the wrecked car."

"Hearing this, she sounds like a brave, kind, and grateful child," Grandma Lv said softly, clearly moved.

Third Uncle, however, added, "Originally, we planned to prepare a generous gift to express our gratitude..."

"Dad, Mom already said that giving money would be an insult. She's been so sincere with our family—why can't she become our daughter? I already see her as a younger sister," Qin Han argued immediately.

Third Uncle cut him off, "Enough. Adopting a child isn't a simple matter. I'll discuss this later with your grandfather... and Qin Xian."

Clearly, Third Uncle didn't want to finalize anything on the spot. The other relatives remained silent, while the younger generation exchanged uncertain glances.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

*[Huh? That's strange. Third Uncle seems unusually reluctant to agree to this.]*

The Qin family's second branch, however, found Third Uncle's hesitation unsurprising.

Soon, Ji Fei figured it out.

*[Ah, I see. The Qin family's interests are closely intertwined. Adopting a child would mean she could enjoy the benefits of the Qin Corporation, something even that cheating brother-in-law wouldn't dare dream of. This would affect everyone's interests. While no one would mind a small foster daughter potentially gaining some assets, Third Uncle is a cautious and strict man. He doesn't want to create any lingering resentment among the family.]*

*[If he makes an exception, it could open the floodgates for other relatives to adopt children, and that would cause chaos. His initial idea was to give her money—ensuring her a comfortable life in exchange for saving Zi Xuan should be enough. Why insist on adoption?]*

The Qin family's second branch naturally didn't care much about this issue, but they couldn't guarantee that others wouldn't have opinions, so they chose not to voice their thoughts.

However, when Qin Han heard that his father planned to consult not only Grandpa Qin but also Qin Xian, he immediately felt unbalanced.

The next moment, Grandpa Qin also spoke up, "I'm old now. You can discuss this matter with Qin Xian later."

The Qin family's second branch was momentarily speechless. Grandpa Qin was clearly avoiding the responsibility and passing it on to Qin Xian.

Qin Xian, however, remained completely unfazed, calm and composed as always.

The others didn't seem to mind, as the only person in the room who might challenge Qin Xian was that foolish cousin.

Third Uncle also gave Qin Xian a look, indicating they would discuss this privately later.

Finally, Qin Han realized that in this family, while Grandpa Qin was the nominal head, the real authority now lay with Qin Xian.

Qin Han hadn't expected that getting a sister would require the approval of a cousin. Unwilling to let the matter drop, he pressed on with a forced smile, "Second Brother already has so many siblings. Surely you wouldn't mind if our family added one more, right?"

Oh? This guy seems really unconvinced. Ah, I see—he thinks his father has contributed just as much to the Qin family as Qin's Father, so he believes he's on equal footing with Qin Xian.

The Qin family's second branch wasn't too bothered. It was normal for a large family to have a few rebellious members; such unity rarely lasted beyond two generations.

However, Ji Fei seemed a little annoyed.

*[You just graduated with a master's degree at this age? My husband was already taking over the company by then. Who gave you the confidence to act so self-important?]*

The Qin family's second branch: Oh~ of course, your husband is the best.

Qin Xian's lips curved into a slight smile.

Seeing Qin Xian's suddenly softened expression, Qin Han thought the matter might be easier to resolve. "Yu Xin is truly a wonderful girl. She deserves to be a daughter of the Qin family."

*[He's so enthusiastic about this. Does he really like this sister that much? What's even stranger is Qin Jiaxi. Among the younger generation, she's the only one who hasn't said a word. Everyone else is lively and engaged, but as the Qin family's eldest daughter, why is she so reserved? Wasn't it her friend who used to visit often? Shouldn't she be the one most actively advocating for this? This is really odd. Let me investigate further.]*

In fact, the Qin family's second branch also found the reactions of Third Uncle's children rather peculiar.

Qin Xian raised an eyebrow slightly, buying time for Ji Fei's investigation. "Is the addition of a new member something your entire family has unanimously agreed to?"
