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

Chapter 198

Yu Zhi paused, unable to believe her eyes as she looked at Qin Xian.

Everyone else was stunned. No way... Even if Qin Xian is the CEO of Qin Corporation, he can't have his hands in everything overseas, can he?

"Qin Xian, are you really going to ask..." Even the most composed observer, Jing Yan, was taken aback. Was he really going to keep pressing like this? It wasn't necessary.

Given the current situation, regardless of the truth, Yu Zhi was sure that Qin Xian's inquiry would only confirm that she had stayed in a sanatorium. Yu Zhi wasn't foolish enough to lie about that.

Such a risky verification was out of character for Qin Xian. It was too impulsive. What if he couldn't get the answer, or if the answer turned out to be exactly as Yu Zhi had said? Wouldn't that be self-humiliation?

Did Qin Xian even care about his image anymore?

Ji Fei also looked at Qin Xian with confusion. She too thought this approach was impulsive. It was almost like indirectly proving Yu Zhi's claims.

Ji Fei's mind raced, filled with random thoughts.

[Maybe he really thinks Yu Zhi is lying, which is why he's treating her like this. Now he's so eager to verify, and then...]

Qin Xian heard her thoughts and shot her an annoyed glance.

"We'll talk after the call," Qin Xian said with a stern voice.

Seeing his bad mood, Ji Fei stopped her random thoughts.

In truth, he shouldn't have used such an offensive method. It wasn't like him to do anything without certainty.

It was just that Yu Zhi had tried to emotionally manipulate him again, and even took a dig at Ji Fei, trying to use her as a comparison. If she succeeded, by the end of tonight's reunion, the circle would be buzzing with how deeply Yu Zhi loved him and how selfish Ji Fei was in climbing to her position.

How could he allow Yu Zhi to target Ji Fei knowing this outcome?

The atmosphere remained awkward.

Yu Zhi hadn't expected Qin Xian to actually doubt her so much. She felt deeply hurt.

At that moment, she woke up and finally stopped fantasizing. Qin Xian had never loved her, and now he wasn't even leaving her any dignity.

Yu Zhi bit her lower lip, her heart filled with hatred. She thought, let him contact them. As long as Qin Xian finds out she stayed there, it would only further prove her point.

Tonight, she had to secure her position as the one to be pitied.

Her family had already returned to the country in disgrace. If she didn't have a good image, it wouldn't benefit the family. A woman in love was always better than a two-faced one.

So this wasn't just about her personal image but also the family's public image.

By then, Qin Xian would feel guilty towards her, right? Maybe, even if there was no love before, under the weight of guilt, she still had a chance! She didn't believe she could lose to Ji Fei, who was brainless and whose family background was practically non-existent.

Soon, Qin Xian's phone rang. Although the call seemed insignificant, everyone waited for the outcome, curious to see what would happen.

Qin Xian put the call on speaker.

A foreign service voice came through.

Though not in English, many present could understand it.

Ji Fei initially thought she wouldn't understand and was frustrated about missing the first-hand gossip. But to her surprise, she understood perfectly.

The joy of this discovery almost overshadowed her excitement for the gossip.

For someone who was terrible at English, suddenly being able to fluently understand another language was like unlocking a skill.

It was strange though. Inheriting memories, but not skills?

Never mind, the gossip was more important. Thanks to her past self! Free foreign language skill acquired.

"Hello, Mr. Qin, this is the comprehensive service department of XX Sanatorium in Country A. How may we assist you?"

"I have a friend..." Qin Xian began, speaking fluent and pleasant foreign language with grace and composure.

Finally here!

Yu Zhi instinctively held her breath, recalling everything to ensure there wouldn't be any issues, and waited for Qin Xian to ask.

"She has a rare disease and hopes to be admitted to your facility."

The entire audience: Huh?

Weren't they going to ask if Yu Zhi had stayed there?

What kind of question was this?

Everyone was full of questions.

The person on the phone politely asked for the patient's identity information.

Qin Xian made up a friend from the country.

Everyone listened as he spoke convincingly, completely baffled.

Until the other party apologized, "We're sorry, Mr. Qin, our facility has a rule to only serve guests with noble titles in Country A. We cannot accommodate other guests."

At this, Qin Xian's eyes finally relaxed.

Among the crowd, the first to react was Luo Fei, the police officer, who immediately looked at Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi also seemed to realize something, her eyes widening, pupils contracting, her lips trembling, unable to stop it.

She heard Qin Xian suddenly speak in an unhappy tone to the service staff on the phone, "A female guest surnamed Yu stayed in your facility for several years. I heard about it from her. As far as I know, she still holds our nationality. That's why I wanted to send my friend there. Now you're telling me no? I think your director should give me a satisfactory answer."

Although the sanatorium had high standards, they wouldn't easily offend someone of Qin Xian's international stature.

The service staff, having learned Qin Xian's identity during the previous conversation, quickly explained.

While they couldn't disclose patient information, other details were less sensitive, especially since their facility was well-known and it was normal for people to know who had stayed there.

"Mr. Qin, I think I can explain this clearly without involving the director. The female surnamed Yu indeed stayed with us for several years, but she was not a patient here and did not receive treatment. She was merely accompanying someone. Our facility has never accommodated guests from your country. We strictly adhere to..."

Everyone couldn't listen anymore.

Because the truth was out.

Not a patient, no treatment, just accompanying someone who was a patient. So she was there to take care of a patient?

"Damn! She was really lying!"

"My God, how could she lie so much!"

"Wait, since the patients there are either rich or noble, and there's no news of the Yu family having foreign noble relatives. Why would the Yu family's daughter do this?"

"This kind of situation... there was a similar scandal abroad, about her... taking care of her fiancé's mother, very famous!"

"So that means... she was planning to marry into a foreign noble family, so she went to the sanatorium to please the patient?"

"I think so!"

"Then why did she come back?"

"Definitely failed, so she came back to try and get Qin Xian."

[You guys got it right!]

The information was too explosive, so everyone was too excited in their discussions, their voices uncontrollable. Ji Fei naturally heard it too.

Aliali

When Ji Fei heard, everyone else did too. Yu Zhi's face was truly indescribable, almost like a dead person's.

After this call, it meant she was truly finished.

There was no chance for any comeback or explanation.

People were already condemning her, and gossip was spreading through phones.

"She's treating our Qin Xian as a backup plan?! Now she's settling for second best, is she crazy?!"

"If Qin Xian wasn't smart, he'd have been accused of being heartless by now. Her schemes are too deep."

"What a great show, Yu Zhi really knows how to act!"

"The key is, she keeps provoking, but if she had stopped even once during that process, she wouldn't have been exposed. I can only say, don't provoke if you don't want to die!"

[Poor thing, too poor. Poking at him, you really stepped on a durian.]

Before Yu Zhi could process, a loud slap covered all the discussions.
