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

Chapter 403

Ji Fei’s chaotic train of thought made the Qin family begin to speculate as well.

But just like Ji Fei’s initial reaction, no one could seriously believe that someone would openly bring their mistress into this situation. That would be beyond absurd—completely out of line. Impossible. Absolutely impossible!

However, it seemed like Qin Wu Gu hadn’t mentioned any mistress before. Could it be that she hadn’t even met her?

Wait… something didn’t feel right.

Meanwhile, Qin Wu Gu’s anger flared up as soon as she heard her son’s words. She had already decided to let go of this fight, but her son’s attitude cut her deeply. She believed her son should stand by her unconditionally—after all, it was his father who destroyed their family.

Yet now, her son thought she was the one going too far.

“So you think I should just step aside and make way for that mistress? Let them enjoy their lives together?” Qin Wu Gu asked incredulously.

Beside her, Lu Yunqing’s body trembled, Zhao Chengle’s expression tightened for a brief moment, and Zhao Jianghe suddenly erupted. “Stop saying that! Yes, I’ve wronged you, but stop calling her a mistress. She didn’t do anything wrong—it’s all my fault!”

Qin Wu Gu stared at Zhao Jianghe, utterly baffled, before letting out a mocking laugh. She turned to her son, as if silently asking, Are you really going to defend this person?

Zhao Chengle scratched his head irritably. “That’s not what I mean. It’s my dad’s fault, but… he’s still my dad. Do you really want him to have nothing left? If he goes back to the Zhao family and tries to rebuild from scratch, he’ll face a lot of difficulties. Can’t you at least leave him something to start over with, for my sake?”

It was clear that Zhao Chengle genuinely pitied his father.

Qin Wu Gu was willing to give something up, but she couldn’t stand her son begging her to do so. It felt like betrayal, as if her son had chosen his father’s side over hers. In her frustration, she snapped, “I won’t give him a thing. What are you going to do about it?”

“Mom!” Zhao Chengle frowned. “It hasn’t been easy for Dad. He finally made it back safely, and honestly, that person did contribute to saving him. You can’t just push them into a corner!”

Qin Wu Gu froze, stunned. For a moment, she thought she must be hallucinating. Not only was her son defending his father, but he was also speaking up for the woman who destroyed their family. It was unbelievable.

Perhaps, in her son’s eyes, that woman truly had saved his father.

Qin Wu Gu began to doubt herself. Maybe she was being too stubborn.

Maybe, even with all her arrangements, if that woman hadn’t gone looking for Zhao Jianghe, he might not have survived.

While Qin Wu Gu was consumed by her inner turmoil, the rest of the Qin family was furious. Zhao Chengle might be half-Qin by blood, but the nonsense he was spouting was unforgivable.

[What the hell! What the actual hell! I need to stay calm—I can’t hit anyone. I have no proof to back me up. But why do I keep running into lunatics every time I step out of the house? I swear, if your mother knew what kind of child she was giving birth to, she would have shoved you right back in to start over!]

Qin Dad and his siblings: …Such harsh words! Is she cursing Zhao Chengle because of his infuriating statements?

[A beast, that’s what you are! Ten months of pregnancy for this?]

The Qin family exchanged curious glances. Something was definitely wrong—this wasn’t a simple case of infidelity and divorce.

[A whole family of three united against their own? And the “own” is your mother?!]

The Qin family members: …We think we’ve uncovered something serious.

Their eyes involuntarily turned toward the seemingly innocent, delicate woman who exuded an air of harmlessness.

[Zhao Chengle, if you were still human, you would have told your mother the truth the moment you discovered your dad’s affair with her best friend. Was it because your mom was strict with you and your so-called “aunt” covered for you when you slacked off? Did you genuinely think she cared for you more than your own mother? You’re just like your father—blind and heartless.]

The Qin family was seething, struggling to contain their outrage.

[So your dad’s mistress cried and apologized in front of you, taking the blame and spinning tales of forbidden love, and you bought it? You pitied them, believed they were helplessly in love, and decided your mom was the villain? Divorce might be the right choice, but can you not even distinguish who the victim is?]

[Let me guess—you want your dad to be happy with his mistress so they can live comfortably, and you think replacing your current mom with a younger, prettier, doting version is the perfect solution?]

The Qin family: We want to hit him. We really want to hit him. No wonder Ji Fei is trying so hard to stay composed—this brat makes you want to strangle him.

[Oh my God, this is the most shameless mistress I’ve ever seen. Pretending to be a close friend of Fifth Aunt while secretly coveting her husband? What do you think this is—a tragic love story? You claim it wasn’t intentional, but let’s be real—you were just waiting for the right opportunity. And Zhao Jianghe, don’t act like this was some uncontrollable love. You didn’t cheat before because you didn’t have the chance. Now that a younger, prettier woman threw herself at you, you couldn’t resist.]

The Qin family felt physically ill, unable to comprehend how these two could shamelessly carry on their affair right under Fifth Aunt’s nose.

[After being discovered by Zhao Chengle, they turned it into some twisted drama of unrequited love and sacrifice. And now, despite their supposed love, they’re pleading with the victim not to divorce. What’s the angle? Trying to look innocent? If you’re so guilty about hurting her, why did you go after her husband in the first place?]

The Qin family: Hypocrites of the highest order.

So Lu Yunqing really didn’t want them to divorce. She was perfectly fine with being a hidden mistress and living with Zhao Jianghe somewhere else, as long as she didn’t disturb Qin Wu Gu’s life?

Wait… did the rest of the Zhao family know about this while keeping Qin Wu Gu in the dark?

Outrageous!

Just as the Qin family was about to explode with anger, a loud sound echoed through the hall.

It was the old patriarch’s cane striking the floor.

Apparently, Zhao Chengle’s words had enraged the old man as well.
