Thanks to Ji Feiâs system, the full story came to light for everyone.

It turned out that Aunt Qin and her old lover had been college sweethearts. However, the man was from a humble backgroundâa classic âphoenix man.â Aunt Qinâs wealthy family naturally disapproved of their relationship. They paid him to leave, and the couple broke up. Afterward, Aunt Qin entered an arranged marriage with Uncle Qin, who had taken a liking to her, and they got married without issue.
Initially, everything seemed fine. But when Qin Jiaxi was about three years old, the ex-lover returned, finding ways to contact Aunt Qin to borrow money for his debts.
Aunt Qin secretly met him, gave him the money, and learned that he had already divorced. The two almost rekindled their romance. However, at the time, Qin Jiaxi was still very young and needed her motherâs attention, leaving Aunt Qin with little time for secret meetings. The ex-lover, lacking courage, decided to take the money and move to another city.
Before leaving, though, he abandoned his daughter, Yu Xin, at an orphanage.
No one had asked Aunt Qin to care for Yu Xinâit was her idea to appear virtuous and self-sacrificing. Driven by her affection for the man, she extended her care to his child, taking responsibility for Yu Xin.
When the ex-lover discovered that Aunt Qin was looking after his daughter, he began using her as a means to maintain contact and repeatedly extort money.
In the past six months, the man returned to escape his creditors after accumulating massive debts. Aunt Qin couldnât cover his debts this time without raising suspicion, so she came up with the idea of formally adopting Yu Xin.
If Yu Xin became the Qin familyâs adopted daughter, she would inevitably receive her share of the family wealth. Once those assets were in Yu Xinâs hands, Aunt Qin could funnel them to her ex-lover without interference.
Moreover, if Yu Xin became Uncle Qinâs beloved adopted daughter, the financial support could continue indefinitely.
To achieve this, they worked relentlessly to marginalize Qin Jiaxi, creating space for Yu Xin to take her place as a surrogate daughter. This would ensure a steady financial future.
âIn the process, Aunt Qin and her old lover finally rekindled their relationship. She became pregnant unexpectedly and couldnât bring herself to terminate the pregnancy. Instead, she tricked Uncle Qin into thinking the child was his, citing her âadvanced maternal ageâ as a reason for all her demands and tantrums. How shameless can one person be? Ugh, I feel sick on Uncle Qinâs behalf. If she loves her old lover so much, why not get divorced? Oh, I forgotâshe doesnât want to lose her title as a wealthy wife. She wants love and status at the same time. Does she plan to make Uncle Qin support her entire family someday? Unbelievable!â
Qin Xianâs second uncleâs family now deeply understood the risks of digging too deeply into gossip. Their blood pressure was soaring uncontrollably.
They felt nauseated.
âSuch misfortune to the family! This household needs to be cleaned up immediately!â
If not for the delicate circumstances, they would have leaped to their feet, pointing at Aunt Qinâs nose and cursing her for her shamelessness in front of everyone.
Although the divorce seemed inevitable, everything needed to be carefully discussed with Uncle Qin first.
And they couldnât speak out without solid evidence. They needed a thorough plan.
They all turned to Qin Xian.
Qin Xianâs gaze was already icy cold. However, he didnât rush to act, trusting that the partial information he had handed over to Uncle Qin would lead him to uncover the truth about the ex-lover. Once that connection was made, many things would fall into place.
At that moment, the guests had all been welcomed, and Uncle Qin entered with Qin Han and Qin Jiaxi in tow.
Ji Feiâs thoughts were interrupted as she turned to look at them.
âSo the reason Aunt Qin favors Qin Han and not Jiaxi is because Jiaxi disrupted her affair when she was young? Every time Aunt Qin wanted to sneak out, Jiaxi would unknowingly get in her way, making her resentful and irritated, feeling her freedom was stolen?â
âNot entirely. Itâs also because Aunt Qin used â NĐžvĐľlΚght â (Read the full story) to take Qin Han to the orphanage, grooming him to treat Yu Xin kindly and take over her plans. Plus, as Qin Han is expected to inherit the family business, he guarantees financial security for her and Yu Xin. Meanwhile, she decided to treat Yu Xin as her real daughter, which made her feel guilty about caring for Jiaxi, as if she were betraying her âtrue love.ââ
âThis is utterly insane. Sheâd rather dote on someone elseâs child than her own?â
âEven funnier is that Qin Han has no idea heâs being manipulated by Yu Xin and that his mother had an affair, giving him a half-sibling.â
âWow, I feel like my liver is aching from all this gossip. No, I have to find a way to let Qin Xian know and expose their true colors!â
After Qin Jiaxi entered the hall, Aunt Qin surprisingly put on a stiff but somewhat kind face. Instead of throwing a fit, she even invited Jiaxi to sit near her.
The guests mingled nearby, sipping drinks and engaging in polite conversation.
Several people approached Qin Xianâs area.
Not wanting to leave Jiaxi unguarded, Ji Fei immediately abandoned her husband and moved to sit near Jiaxi.
Qin Yi, Qin Chao, and Qin Rong, who didnât need to socialize much, quickly followed suit.
Aunt Qin, who had been planning to take advantage of Uncle Qinâs absence to scold her daughter, found herself unable to say a word in front of the group.
âI heard you broke up with the Su familyâs young master,â Aunt Qin said, trying to find a suitable topic.
Jiaxi, no longer used to interacting with her mother, replied honestly, âMom, you probably saw the news. He and Yu Xin are a couple, so we broke up.â
Aunt Qin frowned slightly and said, âWell, itâs your own fault for lacking foresight. Yu Xin is indeed a better match for Su Ze. Donât hold a grudge against her. Try to get along in the future.â
Jiaxi remained unfazed. Compared to what her mother had said in the past, this was practically polite.
However, the others who werenât accustomed to Aunt Qinâs treatment of Jiaxi were utterly stunned.
They had initially thought Aunt Qin would behave herself because of their presence. Yet here she was, speaking so casually, as though her remarks were perfectly normal.
âClearly, sheâs not doing this on purpose. This level of cruelty is just second nature to her! She doesnât even realize how harsh sheâs being to Jiaxi. Itâs terrifying to think what kind of life Jiaxi has endured under this woman. No wonder sheâs immune to such degrading wordsâsheâs completely numb to it!â
