The atmosphere in the car was a little awkward.

Mainly, Tao Mu was still a little bit unable to figure it out. They were just talking normally, so how did Li Xiaoheng turn the topic to kneeling on a computer keyboard and washing board. Was this kind of thing also a tradition of the Li family?

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Li Xiaoheng said warmly: “There are many people in our family, counting second uncle, third uncle, eldest aunt, and youngest aunt, just the main branch family there are more than 20 people. If also counting the relatives on second gandpa, third grandpa and great-grandfather’s brothers’ side, the family members are even more. Every year on the New Year’s family gatherings, the house is full to the brim with seventy or eighty people.”

“These relatives usually have no contact. We only meet at the New Year’s gathering and divide the end of the year dividends. The relationship with the main branch family is also not close. Some of them would also rely on being elders to make it difficult for the juniors and say something unpleasant.” And most of these mean words were aimed towards the daughter-in-laws and grand-daughter-in-laws.

When the junior daughter-in-laws suffer grievances from the elders, due to courtesy they were unable to speak back. They could only vent their anger in private. So the men in the Li family had lomg trained their ability to coax their wives. Kneeling on computer keyboards and washing boards were just the basic operations. Li Xiaoheng had grown up under this custom, and had learned it all long ago. But what Li Xiaoheng didn’t say was that if Tao Mu participated in the family gathering with him, he would never condon those relatives to make it difficult for the person he liked under the banner of being elders. Not even an unpleasant word would he allow Tao Mu to hear.

This was also an important reason why Li Xiaoheng left the family after starting college. The painful experience of graduating from junior high school made Li Xiaoheng deeply understand what was called “economic independence determines one’s speaking right”. Li Xiaoheng did not want to be bound by the rules of the family, and he didn’t want to listen to some certain elders who relied on being elders to stick their nose in his business. As a result, his only choice was to establish his own career.

Today, Li Xiaoheng’s Xiaoheng Capital had long been the biggest pillar of Fengxing Group, and it was also an important source of profit dividends of many branch family relatives of the Li family. Li Xiaoheng’s right to speak within the family had also increased. He had strong capital to adhere to his principles and protect the person he wanted to protect. He would never be like his father who spent his whole life and energy in maintaining the overall situation, enduring the actions of the shareholders that would come from time to time.

“But you can rest assured that even if those elders see you, they will not dare to make  it difficult for you.” Picking up on Tao Mu’s hesitation, Li Xiaoheng smiled and comforted. This was not a lie. After all, before knowing Tao Mu, Li Xiaoheng had always been arbitrary, and did not allow anyone in the family to reach their hands into Xiaoheng capital. After knowing Tao Mu, Li Xiaoheng was willing to take the initiative to jointly develop some projects with huge potential together with Fengxing Group. Not to mention that after Tao Mu became a senior partner of Xiaoheng Capital, the analysis reports he gave had earned so much profit for Xiaoheng Capital in the international financial market.

The Li family, regardless of the main branch or the side branches, could see how much Tao Mu’s existence allowed them to benefit. So just like when his mother married to the Li family, because his mother’s natal family had strong capital and in addition to her husband’s status and influence as the chairman, she had not suffered much difficulty or grievances in the family. Li Xiaoheng believed that he had enough ability to protect the person he liked from suffering grievances.

Hearing these words, Tao Mu frowned subconsciously. He did not doubt the guarantee of Li Xiaoheng. He just couldn’t help recalling the fear of being governed by the youngest aunt Li’s marriage urging at the dinner table——it must be said that youngest aunt Li’s habit of urging marriage regardless of the person or situation really left a layer of psychological shadow on Tao Mu.

Although Tao Mu did not like the family atmosphere of the Shen family, he obviously also was not very able to accept this gossipy and aggressive mode of getting along with the Li family. Moreover, how the people of the Li family kept directly and indirectly hinting at making their relationship public also made Tao Mu a bit dissatisfied.

Out of a responsible attitude, Tao Mu did not want to conceal his relationship with Li Xiaoheng. Even in the face of relatives and friends, Tao Mu took the initiative to reveal the news. But considering his career planning and big screen image, Tao Mu obviously did not plan for this relationship to be advertised to the whole world. So when he heard Li Xiaoheng talking to him about attending family gatherings, Tao Mu, who didn’t know what attitude to face the Li family, chose to escape subconsciously——in the end, Tao Mu was not a person able to deal well with family relationships and family contradictions. If he could do this, he would not have been betrayed by all his family and friends and then committed suicide in despair in the previous life.

The psychological shadow left over from his last life was not so easily reversed. Tao Mu did not want Li Xiaoheng to be disappointed or suffer greivances himself. So he could only tactfully say: “Actually, you don’t have to worry so much. As long as you remember to tell me the date of your family gatherings. During that time, I will avoid that day.”

Li Xiaoheng heard Tao Mu’s response and was slightly disappointed. But he could also understand Tao Mu’s thoughts. In the end, Tao Mu was only 19 years old this year. It was still three years before the minimum age that one could get a marriage certificate stipulated in the law. And Tao Mu was also an actor. Regardless of the consideration of career planning or considering other aspects, Tao Mu obviously would not step into marriage prematurely——since it was just dating, then it was far from the level of attending family gatherings during the Chinese New Year.

Tao Mu felt that his attitude was displayed very obviously. But he was worried about whether Li Xiaoheng would be angry or not. For a while, he couldn’t help feeling conflicted and hesitant. Until Li Xiaoheng took the initiative to speak——

“This is also fine.” Li Xiaoheng smiled gently. Looking at Tao Mu who in the co-pilot seat who was appearing increasingly at a loss, he changed the subject and teased warmly: “The topic just now had not finished. Do you prefer a computer keyboard or a washboard? I recall that there seems to be no washboard back at home. If you need it, we can go to the supermarket later.”

Just as Tao Mu’s expression was half conflicted, it cracked and shattered again.

Li Xiaoheng hooked the corner of his mouth subtly. Although a little distressed, Li Xiaoheng still felt that the Tao Mu helplessly being urged to enter marriage by the youngest aunt, and after a few hours still felt lingering fear such that he even rejected to attend any future family gatherings with him was even more adorable. As if his whole person was dyed with the warmth of simple everyday family life. He was no longer like before, intentionally or unintentionally separating himself from the crowd. Every time he said or did something, he must weigh the pros and cons, appearing courteous and serious as if he was a ruler turned into a person.

Not knowing that his habit of subconsciously using profits and interests to maintain relationships and make connections was seen in such a way by the other, Tao Mu looked at the teasing Li Xiaoheng, and explained in a warm voice: “It’s not that I don’t like your family, I just…..I’m still a bit unsed to it.”

“Understandable.” Li Xiaoheng nodded. Not to mention Tao Mu, even he himself was annoyed by his family. If not, Li Xiaoheng would not have made up his mind at the beginning to stay in the US after graduation. Since he himself was unwilling, Li Xiaoheng, of course, would not force Tao Mu to accept the Li family without reservation.

Anyway, Tao Mu was dating him, not the Li family.

It was pretty good just like this.

Li Xiaoheng dropped Tao Mu at the gate of the community. After getting out of the car, Li Xiaoheng took Tao Mu to buy a purple plastic washboard in the supermarket. Then he stood at the door of the apartment building with the washboard, and reluctantly saw Tao Mu go upstairs.

Tao Mu…..Tao Mu left without looking back!

Because he wanted to continue to discuss the preparation of the TV series with Xiao Qi Dad. That night, Tao Mu asked Li Xiaoheng to send himself to his two dads’ house.

Liu Yao and Meng Qi also knew that Tao Mu was going to get his measurements done, and was very nervous the entire day. They were particularly afraid that Tao Mu would suffer grievances at the Li family. Knowing that Grandpa Song’s concerns must not be less than the two of them. The two picked up Grandpa Song before dinner. One grandfather and two fathers, since Tao Mu came back, all had hesitant looks on their faces, wanting to ask but not daring to ask. In the end, Tao Mu couldn’t stand it himself and took the initiative to explain.

Grandpa Song was shocked immediately. Liu Yao’s temper was the most straightforward, and he blurted: “The Li family also urge marriage?” He thought those affluent families were also like those shown on TV! Unexpectedly, they also urge marriage and gossip as much as the neighborhood aunties.

Tao Mu listened to this description by his Yao Dad and couldn’t help but chuckle. Then he heard Liu Yao say with delight: “From this point of view, it turns out the elders of our family are the most enlightened. Xiao Mu, you can rest assured. Even if you don’t get married by the age of thirty, we will not urge you at all.”

Granpa Song, who was truthfully afraid that Tao Mu would still not get married after 30 years old, looked at Yao Dad with words on the tip off his tongue, but in the end did not say anything.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

——Forget it, the children and grandchildren have their own fortune. As long as the child was happy, getting married or not, it was really not that important.

A few kilometers away, CEO Li, who was holding a washboard as he made his way back to his apartment, sneezed successively.

Both in the past and present life, he had never experienced this kind of situation surrounded by busybody relatives working together to urge marriage. Tao Mu, who had never experienced this kind of plot even during filming, was completely dumbfounded.

This kind of being pulled by the hand by the elders of the family, while being all kinds of both directly and indirectly asked when were they going to get engaged, when were they going to get married, where and when will the wedding ceremony be held, whether they were going to wear a Western suit or traditional Chinese marriage clothing, whether they prefer a boy or a girl…..

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

If not for his good manners and high endurance, Tao Mu would really want to explode.

Why must he go through such a bizarre interrogation when he just wanted to order a suit and get his measurements done before the awards ceremony?!

The smile on Tao Mu’s face almost stiffened. Taking advantage of the brief moment that the elders of the Li family were not paying attention, he glared at Li Xiaoheng fiercely.

Li Xiaoheng, since the winter vacation after reaching 19 years old, having experienced a wave of marriage urges at every family gathering such that now he had become very calm and unperturbed to the point he could even ignore the words of the family elders as background sound, could only rub his nose sheepishly. In his heart he was already privately pondering which was better to use, a computer keyboard or a washboard.

Tao Mu spent more than an hour in the Li family house when the designer from Shanghai finally arrived.

The old gentleman, surnamed Wu, was over sixty years old but appeared to be very well maintained. He had a wrinkle free face, and his hands were slender and fair, even more beautiful than the hands of many girls. He wore a pair of reading glasses, arm sleeves, and a tape measure around his neck. When taking his measurements, the tape measure danced gracefully between his fingertips, the slow movements looking particularly soothing and leisurely. Moreover, when chatting with him while taking his measurements, he spoke with the kind of accent that was unique to the people of Shanghai, and it seemed that even time had become leisurely.

Tao Mu had just experienced a wave of marriage urges, so his anxiety was immediately comforted. He looked at Mr. Wu with some curiosity. He had lived in Shanghai for ten years in his last life, but he had never seen or even heard of this old gentleman before.

But this was normal, come to think about it. In his last life, when he was in the Shen family, the custom of the Shen family members was to fly to Italy to have famous designers design and customize their clothes. As for him and Shen Yu, because of their endorsements, they needed to wear clothing provided by the brand on every major occasion. So there was no chance to have any contact with domestic designers. Let alone know that the old-school designers in China chat with customers like this when they take their customers’ measurements.

It felt very comfortable. Unlike the designers and stylists in the fashion industry that Tao Mu had impressions of, always in a hurry and rushing each time they collaborate, as if they were preparing for a fight.

Seemingly noticing Tao Mu’s mood, Mr. Wu smiled slightly and said leisurely: “Making clothes should be a very happy thing. When I was young, domestic materials were still very scarce. At that time, it was not popular to buy ready-made clothes. During the New Year, people would go to the supply store to buy cloth with cloth tickets and then either make it yourself or ask a tailor to make it. If you ask a tailor to make it, you would give two yuan for the handwork. Later, the market got better. Some people would ask friends or relatives to bring back fashionable clothes from Hong Kong. The situation for us old tailors gradually became quite embarrassing. Fortunately, the elder Mr. Li has been taking care of my business.”

When Grandpa Li heard this, he smiled warmly: “It’s all because of your good craftsmanship. Our family likes to wear clothes made by you. I’m not used to wearing clothes bought from outside.”

Even big international brands were tailored according to the physique and body movement of Westerners. Grandpa Li had been wearing tailor-made clothes all his life, and he was not used to wearing the clothes bought outside. In any case he was getting old and didn’t want to chase fashion, so he didn’t bother to trouble himself. But he didn’t expect his family to do the same. In the end, it became a custom of the Li family to have Mr. Wu make clothes before family gatherings.

Now Tao Mu was also brought by Li Xiaoheng to take his measurements at the Li family house. The elders of the Li family were all tacitly aware and were just waiting for the day when the two made their relationship public and announced their marriage——

However, considering Tao Mu’s age and occupation, it was estimated that this day would have to wait.

After taking the measurements and choosing the fabric and style, the whole afternoon had passed. Seeing that it was dinner time, Father Li and Mother Li had Tao Mu stay for another meal. They also specially instructed the kitchen to cook some of Tao Mu’s favorite dishes. Fortunately, the Li family didn’t have the habit of persuading guests to eat more or adding more food to their guest’s plate. They just kept reminding Li Xiaoheng to serve Tao Mu’s vegetables and peel the shrimps for him.

Only then did Tao Mu notice that the men in the Li family at the dining table were all peeling shrimp for their wives and daughters, even the elderly grandfather Li was no exception.

Noticing Tao Mu’s scrutiny, Grandma Li explained with a kindly smile: “It is the pride of the Li family men to be able to peel shrimp for his wife. Only married men are qualified to peel shrimp for the other half. Single people can only eat by themselves.”

The currently single second brother Li, third brother Li and the other juniors of the Li family: “…..”

Just after the youngest aunt had finished urging Li Xiaoheng and Tao Mu, she turned her sights and started urging second brother Li: “…..You say, you arw not too young anymore, even if you don’t want to get married yet, shouldn’t you still find a girlfriend? If you ask me, marriage alliances are not so bad. At least through blind dates you can also meet people, right? You children reject blind dates, and you all want to have free love. But the key is that if you want free love, you should bring one back home, right…..”

Second brother Li couldn’t swallow the food in his mouth. As expected his biggest headache was family gatherings. Do these elders have misunderstandings about the children in the family? During high school, puppy love was not allowed, and during college, the children were told to complete their schoolwork well and never fail a course. After graduating from college, they then began to urge marriage.

Couldn’t you guys give him time to find someone to fall in love with in the first place!

Second brother Li peeled a shrimp for himself in a particularly depressed manner. And continue to shovel food into his mouth.

The third brother Li and the youngest sister Li exchanged looks with concern. And vowed to find someone right after entering college. Must definitely avoid being urged to marry by their youngest aunt at the age of twenty-two, and be tricked out for blind dates through all kinds of excuses!

This meal was probably the most difficult meal Tao Mu had ever eaten. He was embarrassed by the diligent kindly reminders of the Li elders, embarrassed by youngest aunt Li’s marriage urging, and embarrassed by the direct and indirect hints from father Li and mother Li. Anyway, by the end of i, when any Li family member even spoke up, Tao Mu would feel his heart tremble.

In this way, Li Xiaoheng managed to feed him three bowls of rice without his awareness! Now after going back this evening he had to exercise to lose weight! Depressed!

When he finally left the Li family house, it was already very late.

Li Xiaoheng drove Tao Mu home. On the way, he actively apologized: “…..I didn’t expect the whole family to come over. Did it scare you?”

“A bit.” Tao Mu admitted frankly. After a pause, he added: “But this feeling is quite novel.”

Although a little annoyed, he could feel the kindness and care of the elders. This atmosphere was completely different from the Shen family. When Tao Mu lived with the Shen family in his last life, the relatives of the Shen family were either polite and aloof, or flattering and ingratiating, or malicious and rejectful of him. Even if there was intentions to introduce him to potential boyfriends and girlfriends, it had various motives behind it. They were not at all like the youngest aunt of the Li family, just purely urging marriage and didn’t even care who it was. Just casting the net and sweeping thousands of troops, as long as the junior members of the Li family were over twenty-two years old, none would be spared.

Listening to Mother Li’s words, apparantly the youngest aunt of the Li family also acted the same way at her in-law’s house. Even at the family company, she very enthusiastically made matches for young and single employees. The Li family did not have the rule that female family members could not enter the family company. On the contrary, all the children of the Li family, male or female, have to enter the company for internship experience since high school. Start as an intern assistant, a tea boy, a post-it girl, and taking turns at each department. First familiarizing themselves with the company’s daily management process and department structure. After starting university, they would have to stay in the company to work during the winter and summer vacations every year to earn their own living expenses and tuition fees. If you really didn’t want to work in the family business, you could start your own business or apply to work at another company.

For example, Li Xiaoheng hated the family business as well as the step-by-step laid out path. Therefore, Xiaoheng Capital was established from the beginning of his freshman year. Later, it even became a powerful support for the family.

“Actually, the children of the Li family all hate working in the family business.” Li Xiaoheng recalled with a smile: “You can imagine it, for a child who had just graduated from junior high school, if some boys develop late, they may not even be as tall as the water dispenser yet they are pressured by the elders in the family to work in the company. Other children could travel abroad during the summer vacation, but not the children of the Li family. The fourteen- or fifteen-year-old children are already in the rebellious period of their youth. When I was first forced to work at the company by my dad, I even called the police, complaining that Fengxing Group employs child labor.”

Tao Mu’s eyes widened in astonishment. He didn’t expect that Li Xiaoheng looked so mature and calm, yet there was actually a time when he was such a brat: “What happened then?”

“Of course it turned out to be useless.” Li Xiaoheng recalled his childhood and couldn’t help laughing: “My dad took me home from the police station and asked me if I didn’t want to work in the family business, what do I want to do in the future?”

“I said I like to play. I want to just eat, drink, and play for the rest of my life.” Anyway, the Li family had money and could afford to support a hedonistic rich kid.

“I told my dad, I want to be like Luo Yang. The Luo family doesn’t even have as much money as our family does. So how come Luo Yang can have his father buy whatever he wants, and Luo Yang doesn’t even have to go to work in the family business. He can just play outside every day.”

Then Father Li asked Li Xiaoheng what he wanted to play.

“My dad made a plan, and put aside two months to fly with me around the world. Forcing me to play everything I wanted to play.”

Tao Mu chuckled and said, “Isn’t that good?”

Li Xiaoheng gave Tao Mu a resentful look with the pained expression of one who could not bear to look back, and explained, “I said I wanted to go to the amusement park. My dad forced me to go to Disneyland in America. From eight o’clock in the mornimg to ten o’clock in the evening, other than eating and going to the toilet every day, I just kept playing various amusement park rides. Each one playing 20 times, 30 times, 40 times, and after finished playing, I had to write a reflection paper. I said that I like car racing, so he took me to the F1 training ground, still every day from eight o’clock in the morning to ten o’clock in the evening. Even sleeping I had to spend it on the plane…..”

Tao Mu envisioned that scene and then couldn’t help feeling pity for the fourteen/fifteen year old Li Xiaoheng.

“I couldn’t hold on anymore after two months.” Li Xiaoheng also laughed: “I surrendered. I said I didn’t want to play anything anymore. So my dad took me back to the company and gave me a long stack of bills and told me to pay back the money. If I don’t pay back, he will cut off my pocket money and living expenses. Until all the money was paid back.”

Li Xiaoheng had no choice but to go to work and pay back the money. The children of the Li family have had their own pocket money since elementary school, allowing them to calculate how much money to spend each month. They could buy whatever they wanted to buy. But if they spent too much, then it would just be gone. Don’t expext to be given any more that month. Because of father Li’s requirement that Li Xiaoheng must split half of his pocket money to pay the debt, Li Xiaoheng lived a life of hardship at a young age. So from that time onwards, Li Xiaoheng developed the mindset of wanting to make a lot of money, making quick money and hating playing. This was also an important reason why even though the Li family business was clearly involved in industry, but their eldest son and grandson Li Xiaoheng chose international finance when he was in college, and founded Xiaoheng Capital as soon as he went to college, and resolutely refusing to go home to inherit the family business.

As a result, when it spread to the outside world, the rumor became that of a fierce infighting between the father and son of the Li family. Li Xiaoheng escaped to the US to establish Xiaoheng Capital with the intention of coming back and restraining the family business.

Tao Mu couldn’t help feeling amusement when he heard this, and laughed out loud unwittingly.

“At that time, I really hated the rules of the Li family. And I thought our family was very weird. After graduating from college, my youngest aunt woupd always persuade my mother to get me to go on a blind date every day, and even had my mother pretend to be sick in order to trick me to come back to China for a blind date.”

“At that time, I actually planned to focus my career in the US, and very likely wouldn’t come back in the future. Probably they all saw though my intention, and for fear that I really stayed in the US and wouldn’t come back, so they tossed about so much.”

After all, except for Li Xiaoheng, mother Li and youngest aunt Li did not resort to using such methods such as pretending to be sick to trick him to go on blind dates on other juniors in the family.

When Li Xiaoheng spoke up to here, he suddenly smiled and held Tao Mu’s hand while waiting for the red light: “Fortunately, I met you. I decided to shift the focus of my career back to China. Our family is also very relieved. Now they don’t toss about anymore.”

The youngest aunt and mother Li were indeed not tossing around anymore. However, father Li began to needle him in various ways, expressing disdain towards his son’s incompetence, and worrying that his son would be dumped by his future wife.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

But such shameful things was better left unmentioned!

“Actually, thinking about it, although our family is a bit annoying, we are a family after all.” Li Xiaoheng stared into Tao Mu’s eyes and said warmly, “If you feel annoyance, please don’t be angry. You can punish me to kneel on a washing board or on a computer keyboard.”

Tao Mu: “…..” Why did the topic turn to here?!

Shen Zhen was a very independent person and was not good at expressing himself. He was a lone wolf, and Qin Yue was his only friend. However, as adults, although their relationship was ambiguous, they became gradually estranged.

When Su Shiqing appeared, his precarious relationship with Qin Yue finally reached the breaking point.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Zhen, who had left the garden, went to the kitchen. He knew that Qin Yue was there the whole time. Even if he wanted to quit, he still wanted to leave a thorn in the hearts of Su Shiqing and Qin Yue. Over time, it would accumulate and then be useful when needed.

Shen Zhen sneered. In his last life, he could check and balance Qin Yue and compete with Qin Yue in the court, but in his relationship with Qin Yue, he never used any scheming means.

Loving someone else was too tiring, so it was better ans easier to just love oneself.

“Young Master Shen is here.” The chef was startled, “Is there something you need?”

Shen Zhen rolled up his sleeves and walked to the chef’s side: “I came to learn.”

Chef: “…..”

“Please don’t joke with me.” The chef looked bewildered, “Why are you learning this?”

Dd these rich kids need to know how to cook? They likely didn’t even need to boil an egg in their entire life.

“I tol Uncle before that I want to cook for him.” Shen Zhen said with a smile.

It turned out to be to please Master Qin. The chef understood it, so he said with great discernment: “You just need to stir fry it a bit.”

Shen Zhen shook his head: “I want to personally make it for Uncle, that’s sincerity.”

So that night, the plate of boiled shrimp Shen Zhen personally made was served on the table.

This was the least technical, but Shen Zhen peeled the shrimp shells one by one.

When serving, the maid specially mentioned this plate of shrimp.

“Young Master Shen made it.” The maid smiled, very professional, “Personally peeling the shell himself and specially making it for Mr. Qin.”

There was only one person who could be called Mr. Qin in the Qin family.

Qin Xing didn’t seem to expect that Shen Zhen would take his casual remarks seriously.

He picked up a shrimp and it was indeed peeled cleanly.

Shen Zhen said at the other table, “Uncle, it was peeled off with gloves on. The gloves have been sterilized.”

Qin Xing only ate one.

The taste was just normal. If eaten with raw soy sauce, the deliciousness of the ingredients had nothing to do with the craftsmanship.

“Xiao Zhen cares so much about Uncle.” Qin Xing’s tone was very gentle, “Sit next to Uncle in the future.”

Shen Zhen: “Okay, Uncle.”

Everyone: “…..”

What did it mean to sit next to Qin Xing? Among so many juniors, only Qin Yue and Qin Li could sit at the same table as Qin Xing, and they were just on the seat opposite. Qin Xing’s left and right sat the elders of the Qin family.

“Don’t spoil the younger generation too much.” Qin Yue’s mother was not very happy, she snorted coldly, “After all, he’s not the Qin family’s blood.”

She said the last sentence in a very low voice that only this table could hear.

Qin Xing glanced at Qin Xin with a slight smile.

Qin Xin’s shoulders twitched and she didn’t dare to speak again.

She knew that Qin Xing was willing to help her, not because he had any sibling fondness for her, but because he saw the Zheng family and wanted the Zheng family, so he did it.

Everyone said that he loved his sister deeply. Only Qin Xin knew that Qin Xing had no feelings. His views on people and things were very simple——what was useful and what was useless.

After leaving the table, Shen Zhen was about to leave when he was stopped by Qin Xin. She was an elder, and she had never suffered hardship during her time in the Qin family over these many years. To be precise, if she did not commit a wrong, the Qin family could afford the expenses of her enjoyment. And in addition to her son being talented, despite how many years Qin Xin had lived, her mentality was still like a little girl.

“Shen Zhen.” Qin Xin called him by his full name.

Shen Zhen followed Qin Xin to the lounge, and there was no one here, so it was suitable to talk.

Qin Xin looked at Shen Zhen. She hadn’t examined him well for many years, and she didn’t care to spare Shen Zhen any attention. After all, Shen Zhen’s surname was not Qin, and whether he was good or bad could not shake Qin Yue’s position in this family. For the sake of his surname Shen, Qin Xin turned a blind eye to him and Qin Yue getting close.

Before she knew it, Shen Zhen had grown up and matured to the point that he had developed feelings for her son.

Qin Xin didn’t care how many lovers her son had, let alone whether the lovers were male or female. After all, when it was time to get married, he would still get married.

But Shen Zhen was different. He grew up with Qin Yue. If he really had something with Qin Yue, the threat would be so great that Qin Xin felt scared.

“Auntie knows that you are sensible.” Qin Xin closed her eyes slightly and glanced at Shen Zhen from the corner of her eye, “But there are some things you can’t think about, and some people you can’t touch. Excuse Auntie for saying something unpleasant, but people should have self-knowledge.”

Shen Zhen leaned back: “Auntie, just say it straight, don’t beat around the bush.”

Qin Xin was annoyed by Shen Zhen’s attitude, she gritted her teeth and said, “Who in the Qin family doesn’t know about your thoughts about Ah Yue? Impossible, you are not worthy!”

“Who’s worthy?” Shen Zhen looked at Qin Xin.

Qin Xin was taken aback, she only remembered that Shen Zhen was always ingratiating in front of her, shy, restrained, and even a little scared, but now Shen Zhen had sharp and bone-piercing eyes.

She couldn’t understand what kind of emotion was in those eyes, but she intuitively felt the threat in it.

Those were wolf-like eyes, vicious and ferocious, Qin Xin grabbed the armrest beside her.

Shen Zhen chuckled, and his eyes softened instantly: “Auntie, don’t worry, I know how to do the best for Ah Yue, you and I both want Ah Yue to be better, don’t you? I might as well tell you, the Shen family will be Ah Yue’s Shen family.”

Qin Xin: “You…..can you promise?”

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Xin sincerely: “Auntie, you should have already known who treats Ah Yue the best in this family.”

Many thoughts flashed in Qin Xin’s mind, but in the end she suppressed her emotions: “The Shen family has yet to express their position.”

Shen Zhen was determined: “It will be soon.”

In his last life, Su Shiqing won Qin Xin’s support, so why couldn’t he? Qin Xin didn’t even have much sincerity towards her own son. She had the same characteristics as Qin Xing, who was full of control, greed and dictatorship.

It was a pity that Qin Xin only had ambitions, but did not have enough scheming and intelligence.

Such a person, as long as a bait was randomly thrown her way, she would take the bait herself.

“Auntie.” Shen Zhen’s words were like the devil’s call, “I love Ah Yue, then what is mine is his, and I don’t expect him not to get married. I don’t care which lady he marries or how many children he has.”

Qin Xin seems to be hypnotized——yes, Shen Zhen was still very useful, as long as he didn’t prevent her son from getting married, so what if her son had an affair with him? The benefits would always be the hands of herself and her son.

“Shen Zhen! Youngest Uncle called you over!” Qin Meng didn’t know how to pick up on the atmosphere at all, he just found out that Shen Zhen was here, and sat down on the sofa and poured himself a glass of water, “Hurry up. “

Shen Zhen pausex: “Where?”

Qin Meng: “Youngest Uncle asked you to go to his private room.”

Qin Xin and Shen Zhen said at the same time, “Go to his private room?!”

Qin Meng nodded blankly: “Yeah, that’s what Youngest Uncle told me, I remember correctly.”

Qin Xin looked at Shen Zhen with complicated eyes: “Go on, don’t make your uncle wait any longer.”

Shen Zhen stood up and said before leaving, “Auntie, think about what I just said, I have a sincere heart and a clear conscience.”

He had a sincere heart in his last life, and a clear conscience in this life.

When he was leaving, Shen Zhen behaved decisively, but when he was standing at the door of Qin Xing’s room, Shen Zhen suddenly had the urge to run away, goose bumps appeared on the back of his neck and his hair stood on end. For the first time in such a long time after his rebirth, he sensed danger.

Why?

Shen Zhen thought a lot in those few seconds.

Could it be that Qin Xing discovered his deal with the Shen family?

Or something else?

Shen Zhen’s mouth was dry, his heartbeat was running faster and faster, and he was almost out of breath.

“Uncle.” Shen Zhen knocked on Qin Xing’s door.

Footsteps came from inside the room, it was the sound of footsteps falling on the carpet, and the door was opened.

“Xiao Zhen.” Qin Xing looked at Shen Zhen, like countless kindly elders. He was handsome, but no one would look at him with less regard because of his appearance, “You have grown up.”

Shen Zhen trembled all over.

After all, after experiencing his previous life, Shen Zhen also knew the final outcome of Qin Xing. At that time, Qin Xing had already opened up the foreign market, so he left the domestic market to Qin Yue and went to the other side of the ocean to conquer his empire territory.

Qin Xing was probably the kind of person who would endlessly achieve things so long as his life had yet to end. He would never be satisfied with what he had.

Whatever he saw, he wanted, he would reach for it.

If anyone tried to stop him, he would destroy that person.

Shen Zhen could calculate everyone in the Qin family, but he didn’t dare to face Qin Xing. He knew Qin Xing too well. The more he understood, the more frightened he became. There were just some people who was born much stronger than others, whether it was scheming of intelligence, Qin Xing was already strong to the extreme.

The moment he walked into Qin Xing’s bedroom, Shen Zhen only felt a cold air rise from the soles of his feet, hitting the top of his head directly.

Qin Xing’s bedroom was more like a luxurious one-bedroom suite, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony. The desk was near the outer area, and the sofa and coffee table were at the back. The furniture in Qin Xing’s room was all made of fine, old wood, which was expensive and elegant, emitting an elegant woody fragrance.

Shen Zhen stepped into Qin Xing’s room for the first time, but he was not in the mood to appreciate any of this.

He only pondered in his mind: “Does Qin Xing know about his actions? What does he want to do to me? What means can I use to protect myself?”

However, Qin Xing didn’t seem to notice Shen Zhen’s stiff limbs. He took off his tie, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, and took off his suit jacket.

It was undeniable that Qin Xing had a sexy body that belongs to a mature man, and the tight chest and abdominal muscles could be seen even through his shirt. His hands had clear and distinct bone structure, but they did not look rough at all.

Most of the men in the Qin family were burly, only Qin Xing was not like the Qin family, he did not appear rough, but elegant and noble, and full of pure male hardness.

Although Shen Zhen was gay, he had extraordinary resistance in front of male beauty.

“Xiao Zhen, sit down.” Qin Xing pointed to the sofa opposite.

Shen Zhen sat down reluctantly.

Qin Xing’s first question appeared: “Xiao Zhen, why do you hate Ah Yue so much?”

Shen Zhen clenched his fists, sweating coldly, Qin Xing found out!

But Shen Zhen forced himself to calm down, he raised his head to face Qin Xing’s interested eyes, and said loudly, “I want Ah Yue to face me squarely!”

“Uncle, I’m no worse than anyone else, I’m better than them!”

Qin Xing smiled and said, “Uncle is also in your calculations?”

Shen Zhen shook his head: “I don’t have the daring.”

Qin Xing seemed to shake his head regretfully: “Xiao Zhen, Ah Yue is not that stupid.”

Shen Zhen lowered his head. Qin Yue was indeed not stupid, but he was also a man. He believed in his own charm, and of course he would not suspect that Shen Zhen, who loved him deeply, would plot against him.

Qin Xing lit a cigar, his hands were finely structured, and the gesture in the way he held the cigar was meticulous and graceful, like a picture under the soft light. He lit the cigar, and the smile on his lips remained as usual: “Xiao Zhen, why not beg Uncle? Whatever you want, Uncle can give it to you with just a word.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Zhen’s heart was pounding.

Qin Xing’s voice was like the song of a sea demon, low and magnetic and full of unspeakable temptation: “Xiao Zhen, as long as you reach out, everything is at your fingertips.”

AN: Shen Zhen: “Conspiracy! I smell conspiracy!”

Qin Xing (smiling): “Uncle loves you.”

“Just drop me off here.” Shen Zhen told the driver to stop at the intersection.

Qin Yue didn’t force the matter either, he knew Shen Zhen’s temper, and sometimes he was just extremely stubborn.

Qin Yue nodded, with concern and worry in his eyes: “Be careful.”

Shen Zhen waved his hand and got out of the car.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

He watched the car drive away from his sight, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth. If he was the same person in his previous life, he wouldn’t be able to see through Qin Yue no matter what. But after being reborn, he was actually able to see through the other.

Perhaps Su Shiqing also saw through him.

Qin Yue and Qin Xing seemed to be two types of people, but there was really no difference in their bones. They were born rulers and want to control everyone around them, so it made sense that Qin Yue would fall in love with Su Shiqing, who couldn’t live without him.

The Shen family, a nouveau riche family with little background, took nearly 30 years to break into the upper class. Even so, among the old families, even if they were poorer than the Shen family, they still looked down on the Shen family.

“Why did he come back?”

“Dad! Do you think he could think of the Shen family?”

“Tell him to piss off! Piss off as far away as possible! Don’t you know how the rumors spread outside are like? What is his relationship with Qin Yue? Our Shen family can’t afford to lose this face! “

Shen Zhen stood in front of the door, this was specifically spoken for him to hear, so he should listen carefully.

“What use is he? He was already raised useless by the Qin family long ago. Even if he was not raised useless, he only has the Qin family in his heart.”

“I don’t have such a big brother, I feel sick just thinking about it.”

“Even the ones that come out to sell are cleaner than him!”

The butler of the Shen family was sweating, with an embarrassed smile on his face, he said outside the door, “Sir, the eldest young master is back.”

There was silence inside.

Shen Fu’s voice sounded: “Let him come in.”

The butler made a gesture of invitation.

Shen Zhen walked in, looked up, looked around, two of his three siblings were sitting on the sofa, one was standing in the middle of the hall, and Shen Fu, his biological father was sitting on a separate sofa.

Shen Fu was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, had a flowing goatee, and wore a pair of presbyopic glasses. A person in his forties pretending to be in his 50s or 60s, just short of a cane to complete the look of the head of a family shown on TV. His confidence was not enough, and he could only rely on making up for it with his dressing style.

“Dad.” Shen Zhen showed no expression, and he didn’t have to pretend that they were a pair of close father and son. They were both smart people, so there was no need to pretend.

It was not time to pretend yet.

Before Shen Fu could speak, the one standing in the hall pointed directly at Shen Zhen’s nose, glared angrily, and scolded, “What are you doing here? You are not welcome in this family! Go back to your Qin family!”

Shen Zhen looked at him with a smile.

Shen Li: “What are you smiling at!”

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “Stop acting, aren’t you tired? Sit down and drink some tea.”

Shen Li: “…..”

Shen Zhen had already sat on the soft chair for the guests, just like he was tight at home, and said to the maid next to him, “A cup of Dahongpao, not too strong.”

The maid looked at him dumbfoundedly, and Shen Zhen urged, “Go quickly.”

The maid then hurried away.

“I heard what you just said.” Shen Zhen looked at Shen Li with a smile.

Shen Li forced himself to calm down. This was what they had negotiated, and it was specifically for Shen Zhen to hear. If Shen Zhen was even a little ashamed, he should not step through the door!

“Am I wrong?” Shen Li looked at Shen Zhen fiercely, “This family does not welcome…..”

“I’m not planning to have a loving relationship with your family.” Shen Zhen raised his hand to interrupt him, “I’m here to discuss a deal.”

Everyone was staring at Shen Zhen.

Shen Fu: “Ah Li, sit down.”

Shen Li sat beside his brothers.

Shen Fu had on a fatherly face, looking at Shen Zhen kindly.

“The Qin family wants to eat up the Shen family.” Shen Zhen said straight to the point, “Everyone knows that, so I won’t go into details.”

Shen Yun: “The Qin family says they can eat it so they can it? Aren’t they afraid of choking to death!”

“Mr. Shen, I won’t bother with niceties, we can do something mutually beneficial.” Shen Zhen, “The Qin family wants the Shen family, but is there any way you can refuse? As long as I’m there, and you have an accident, it won’t be difficult for the Qin family to take over the Shen family, right?”

“You!” The several brothers stood up, “What do you mean?! Are you threatening us?!”

“Sit down.” The kindly expression on Shen Fu’s face disappeared, and he regained his businessman’s shrewdness, “What deal do you want to make?”

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “Why don’t you give the Shen family to Qin Yue?”

He wants to force Qin Yue to confront Qin Xing as soon as possible.

The more chaotic the Qin family was, the better it was for him.

“Shen Zhen! What nonsense are you talking about? Are you here to get benefits for your lover?” Shen Li shouted and slapped the table loudly, “Who doesn’t know your relationship with Qin Yue!”

Shen Zhen didn’t care about Shen Li’s attitude, and only said to Shen Fu: “Follow Qin Yue, the Shen family still has a chance to be preserved. If Qin Xing makes a move, what is the Shen family?”

Hearing Qin Xing’s name, the several people in the room shivered.

“Xiao Zhen.” Shen Fu suddenly smiled, “You are indeed my son.”

Shen Zhen suddenly became indifferent: “Oh, really?”

Shen Fu: “I will consider it.”

Shen Zhen looked at Shen Fu mockingly: “Do you still have room to consider?”

No matter how sophisticated Shen Fu was, he was still pissed off by Shen Zhen’s attitude, but he didn’t say anything, instead he smiled: “Forcing us to a dead end, forcing us to resort to making a desperate blow, then there will be no need to choose.”

“It’s up to Mr. Shen.” Shen Zhen stood up and straightened his clothes. He raised his chin slightly, arrogant and indomitable.

Shen Fu: “You don’t want to see your mother?”

Shen Zhen froze in place, but his tone was still indifferent: “There’s nothing to see.”

The only person in this family who had a bit of sincerity towards him was Mother Shen, but they didn’t have the affinity of being a normal pair of mother and son, so it was better that they didn’t see each other.

“I’ll left Uncle Qin’s gift outside, you can take a look.” Shen Zhen suddenly smiled at Shen Li, “Won’t you see me off?”

Shen Li looked dumbfounded, did he hear it right? Is there something wrong with Shen Zhen’s head? Asking him to see him off?

But Shen Fu said, “Ah Li, go see your elder brother off.”

When his old father spoke, Shen Li could only go over with a dark face: “Big brother, I’ll see you off.”

He walked to Shen Zhen’s side, standing half a head shorter than Shen Zhen. Just when Shen Li was about to send Shen Zhen out, Shen Zhen’s fist had already swung over and hit Shen Li’s chin, only to hear a loud cracking sound, and Shen Li had already sat down on the ground.

Shen Li covered his mouth, the unexpected punch made his teeth bite his tongue, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Shen Zhen in disbelief.

However, Shen Zhen rotated his wrist, smoothed the folds of his sleeves, and condescendingly said to Shen Li, “This punch is to cure your bad breath.”

Shen Li: “Dad! Second Brother! Third Brother!”

No one moved.

Shen Li stared at Shen Zhen resentfully. If he could, he wanted to take a bite of Shen Zhen’s flesh, but no, he couldn’t touch a hair on Shen Zhen, the Qin family was not decoration after all.

“Don’t look at me like that.” Shen Zhen, “The more you look at me, the more I want to beat you up.”

Shen Li was furious, two clusters of flames in his eyes.

Shen Zhen said with a smile: “You see, I hit you, but no one will speak for you, because you are nothing in the Shen family, not even comparable to a nominal Shen family member like myself.”

Shen Li turned to look at his two brothers and father, they didn’t move, they just sat there.

Shen Zhen sighed in amazement: “You are probably the stupidest person in the Shen family, right?”

Why else would he be the one to say those words?

Shen Mu, who was most qualified to say, but why didn’t his second youngest brother say a word from the beginning to the end?

They were all probing him out.

If he endured it, it proved that he was easy to control.

If he couldn’t bear it and went back to the Qin family to file a complaint, they could just push this most useless youngest son out.

What father-son relationship, brotherly relationship, it was all fake in front of interests.

Shen Zhen: “No need to see me off, I’ll leave by myself.”

“I hope Mr. Shen can give me an answer as soon as possible.”

Shen Zhen left, but Shen Li was still sitting on the ground, he was a little dazed, waiting for his two older brothers to come to help, but his two older brothers just asked his father eagerly: “Dad, what does Shen Zhen mean? Give Qin Yue the Shen family?”

Shen Fu: “He is asking me to show my loyalty to Qin Yue.”

“Qin Yue doesn’t have many resources at his disposal. If the Shen family is loyal to him, he will definitely find a way to keep us.” Shen Fu narrowed his eyes slightly, “But what is the benefit to Shen Zhen?”

“Yeah, what’s in it for him?”

“The rumors between him and Qin Yue are quite ambiguous, for love?”

Shen Fu also hesitated: “Let’s watch for now.”

Standing on the side of the road, Shen Zhen felt extremely disgusted. He took out a wet tissue from his bag and wiped the hand that had just raised a fist. His little finger was still twitching, and Shen Zhen looked at that finger neuroticly, slowly clenching his hand into a fist.

“Ah Zhen!” Su Shiqing was waiting in the garden. He was sitting on the rim of the water fountain. Unlike everyone in the Qin family, Su Shiqing was the only one who didn’t need to wear a suit at home. He liked white clothes, which was very similar to Qin Xing.

Shen Zhen’s eyes twitched.

Su Shiqing walked over cautiously: “Big brother Qin is back.”

Shen Zhen: “En.”

Su Shiqing said sadly: “I heard that Big Brother Qin just sent you to the intersection and didn’t go to Shen family with you. Big Brother Qin must not have done it on purpose. He must believe that you can handle it yourself.”

“Why don’t I accompany you next time.” Su Shiqing looked like he was really thinking for Shen Zhen, “The matter last time…..”

Shen Zhen sighed: “I will pretend I didn’t hear what you said last time.”

Su Shiqing was anxious: “How can you pretend that you didn’t hear it, I’m telling the truth!”

Shen Zhen: “Then how do you want me to answer you? Tell you that I give up Qin Yue?”

Su Shiqing: “You are so excellent, you can find someone better than Big Brother Qin…..”

“I’m tired of hearing this.” Shen Zhen patted Su Shiqing on the shoulder, “Why do you insist on grabbing things from me if you know you can’t win against me?”

Su Shiqing: “…..”

Shen Zhen smiled: “But I have a lot of things to do recently, so I don’t have time to follow Qin Yue. If you want to follow him, just go.”

Su Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief: “Ah Zhen, I knew it, you are the best.”

“So let’s stop being friends in the future.” Shen Zhen’s smile disappeared, “I don’t have friends who snatches things from me, Su Shiqing, stay away from me and don’t make it so that each other’s faces look bad.”

Su Shiqing’s eyes widened: “Why?! I love Big Brother Qin, but you are also my friend! Why can’t we get along well? Why do I have to choose one?”

Shen Zhen looked at Su Shiqing: “You always have 100,000 whys, then I’ll tell you why.”

“Because I love Qin Yue, if I can’t have him, I don’t want it to be you.”

Su Shiqing sobbed: “Can you not be so stubborn, please? We can coexist.”

“No.” Shen Zhen’s brows lowered, as if inadvertently revealing his vulnerability. He looked at Su Shiqing, “You think you only have Qin Yue, but am I better off than you? I also only have him.”

Su Shiqing wanted to say something, but Shen Zhen took the lead and said, “I haven’t had many dreams since I was a child, but the only few times I have had them, he is in them every time.”

“Shi Qing, don’t come looking for me again.” Shen Zhen stood opposite Su Shiqing, his proud head finally lowered, “Just pretend we have never met.”

After that, Shen Zhen walked away in a hurry.

Su Shiqing stood there, a little dazed, it shouldn’t be, Shen Zhen was not the kind of person who would show weakness, he was mot one to refuse if he begged him like this.

Su Shiqing knew that he had no ability. He was not the kind of smart person who was born with a high IQ, but he also had his own kind of wisdom.

From the first time he found out that crying could get him benefits, and the first time he found that showing weakness could make his stomach full, he knew how to plan his future.

He was not strong enough? It didn’t matter, he could find strong people to protect him. He couldn’t compare to others? It didn’t matter, as long as everyone sympathized with him and cared for him, then what was not his could also become his.

Su Shiqing had lived in the Su family for so many years, going from a little young master who had been bullied to a favored person by Qin Yue’s side, he didn’t rely on luck.

He relied on three-point true and seven-point false feelings.

Su Shiqing had tasted the warmth and coldness of human beings since he was a child. Su Shiqing believed that he was very good at seeing through people. He knew that Shen Zhen was proud, so he knelt down to Shen Zhen and showed his weakness countless times. In his eyes, Shen Zhen had never posed a threat.

He even felt that Shen Zhen was more pitiful than him.

It was just that he had no sympathy for Shen Zhen.

Anyway, he had already come this far, he couldn’t turn back, once he turned back, everything he did in the past would be in vain.

Su Shiqing turned his head and saw Qin Yue standing beside the reclining chair at a glance.

“Big brother Qin!” He rushed over like a swallow flying towards the forest, rushed into Qin Yue’s arms, rested his head on Qin Yue’s shoulder, and cried without tears, “Ah Zhen doesn’t want to be my friend anymore, but I like him so much, how can he treat me like that.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Qin Yue didn’t speak, he hugged Su Shiqing’s shoulder, but looked at the direction where Shen Zhen left.

The phrase repeated in his mind——

“I also only have him.”

AN: Su Shiqing: “He doesn’t play cards according to the norm!”

Shen Zhen: “Uh-oh.”

TN: anyone else 🤢 at Su Shiqing? I nearly forgot how disgusting he was…

Shen Zhen knew that Uncle Qin would call him over for a talk, but he didn’t expect it to be so fast.

Qin Xing’s study was used for receiving guests and discussing. As for his own privatr room, no one in the entire Qin family had entered except the butler.

Although Shen Zhen didn’t have much contact with Qin Xing, he unexpectedly understood people like Qin Xing, and when dealing with such people, his scheming wilies couldn’t win againt the other party’s. Whether he was speaking lies or truth, he could tell at a glance. Just because he didn’t point it out did nt mean he couldn’t see it.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

So Shen Zhen decided not to tell a single lie later.

The study room was very big. It was not so much a study room as it was an exquisite living room. The desk was made of solid wood, and there was a smell of incense in the air. There were Chinese books and foreign books on the bookshelves. This was a very suitable environment for relaxing.

Shen Zhen sat on the chair, while Qin Xing sat behind the desk.

Shen Zhen felt that Qin Xing was the most suitable person he had ever seen to wear gold wire glasses. A pair of gold wire glasses softened his aura a lot, and even added a sense of ascetic beauty.

“Xiao Zhen is here.” Qin Xing put down the book in his hand.

Shen Zhen greeted Qin Xing: “Uncle.”

Qin Xing asked him in the manner of a considerate elder: “Are you still angry with Ah Li?”

Shen Zhen said seriously: “No, he doesn’t like me anyway.”

Qin Xing: “Xiao Zhen has matured, and just now had made progress by retreating. It has really impressed Uncle.”

Shen Zhen looked up at Qin Xing, Qin Xing was such a person, no matter what he said, those who heard him would think that he was telling the truth, that he was sincere and trustworthy, but Shen Zhen knew that this was not the case.

For example, when Qin Xing looked at him now, he was looking at an object, and he was weighing his weight and importance.

However, there also seemed to be something else in that gaze, but Shen Zhen couldn’t see it clearly and couldn’t detect it.

“I had no other choice.” Shen Zhen said honestly, “If Uncle didn’t express your position just then, I wouldn’t be able to stay in the Qin family for long, as Second Brother can’t tolerate me.”

Qin Xing asked him gently: “Since Ah Li doesn’t like you, isn’t leaving the Qin family a way out?”

Shen Zhen shook his head: “If I leave the Qin family, the Shen family will kill me immediately.”

Qin Xing was really amazed now. He knew all the people Shen Zhen had contact with, which proved that this was not taught to him by others, but that he had realized it himself. Why was such a smart child not surnamed Qin?

But fortunately, he was not surnamed Qin.

“The Shen family has already returned.” Qin Xing said suddenly, “I’m planning to have someone go over to send gifts.”

Shen Zhen: “I’ll go.”

Qin Xing looked at Shen Zhen with a half-smile: “Aren’t you afraid they will kill you?”

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Xing: “No, as long as Uncle is willing to let me stay at the Qin family manor, they won’t dare to make a move.”

Qin Xing chuckled lowly, and only Qin Xing’s laughter could be heard in the study.

“Xiao Zhen.” Qin Xing suddenly said, “Since you helped Uncle, how do you want Uncle to help you?”

Shen Zhen clenched his fists and told himself that he couldn’t be afraid, he couldn’t back down, he might never have such an opportunity again, so he raised his head and said in the most sincere tone he could use: “I hope Uncle can like me. “

Whether it was true or false, at least let everyone believe that Qin Xing liked him.

Qin Xing’s eyes were soft: “Silly boy, Uncle has always liked you the most.”

This was agreeing to his request.

Shen Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, even if Qin Xing was going to push him out and ask him to take the Shen family over.

If he couldn’t do it, Qin Xing had other candidates.

Just when Shen Zhen got up to leave, Qin Xing suddenly stopped him: “Xiao Zhen.”

Shen Zhen turned his head.

Qin Xing said with a smile, “Come find Uncle whenever you have the time in the future. Uncle likes talking to you.”

Shen Zhen was stunned for a moment, his face stiffened, he nodded with difficulty, and then walked out.

And Qin Xing in the study laughed lowly, Shen Zhen was completely different from what he imagined, as if startinh ast night he had just known a new Shen Zhen.

As for Qin Li.

Qin Xing’s lips curved into a sneer, Qin Li was not the only junior in the Qin family.

He could let Qin Li stand above everyone else, and he could also make Qin Li fall into the quagmire.

And the current Qin Li was really disobedient.

He had power and wealth, and he could give it to whomever he liked, but while he could choose to give it, no one else could reach out and take it.

If someone stretched out his hand, he would chop off that person’s hand.

Even if that person was his nephew.

Soon, the Qin family found that Shen Zhen was even more favored, and Qin Xing seemed to like Shen Zhen even more suddenly. For example, Shen Zhen could have breakfast on the same table as Qin Xing, and Qin Xing would even care about how Shen Zhen slept last night, whether he had any nightmares or not.

Shen Zhen seemed to be adapting very well.

Qin Meng also said with some jealousy: “If it weren’t for us, I would have even thought that Uncle would personally spoon feed Shen Zhen.”

Qin Shan was not jealous at all. She fed her brother a bun: “Hurry up and shut your mouth!”

And Qin Yue also saw all this in his eyes. He was not as naive as his brothers and sisters. At a glance, he knew that his uncle must have made a deal with Shen Zhen. As for the deal, he had no clue yet, but he was sure he would know soon enough.

He was sure that there was no secret between himself and Ah Zhen, and Ah Zhen would tell him.

“Ah Yue, why aren’t you eating?” Qin Xing finally took time to care about his most “loved” junior.

Qin Yue smiled and said, “I’m just a little hot.”

Qin Xing only just asked carelessly so he replied: “Remember to take your medicine.”

Then he turned his head to continue chatting with Shen Zhen.

The chat between the two was very low-level, such as——

Shen Zhen: “What does Uncle like to eat?”

Qin Xing: “Uncle is not a picky eater.”

Shen Zhen: “Then don’t you like something more than the other?”

Qin Xing: “If Xiao Zhen personally cooks for Uncle, it will be Uncle’s favorite.”

Shen Zhen: “For Uncle, I will definitely learn to cook.”

“That’s right.” Qin Xing suddenly said to Qin Yue, “The Shen family is back, and Xiao Zhen wants to deliver something for me in the afternoon. You can go with him.”

Qin Yue nodded: “Yes.”

Qin Xing didn’t say anything anymore to Qin Yue.

The Qin family were all very tactful and discerning, they found that Qin Li had “fallen out of favor” and Shen Zhen was now “in favor”.

So everyone suddenly became more friendly with Shen Zhen.

As if Shen Zhen had lived in the Qin family manor for more than 20 years, and only now they realize that Shen Zhen was different.

Qin Meng also said to Shen Zhen, “Look, now if you ask them to lick your feet, they will all say that your feet is quite fragrant.”

Shen Zhen was even in the mood to joke with Qin Meng, and he asked, “How do you know that my feet are not fragrant?”

Qin Meng rolled his eyes and turned his head, expressing that he didn’t want to bother with Shen Zhen anymore.

But, within a few minutes, he couldn’t help but talk to Shen Zhen again.

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Meng with envy in his heart, how easy and carefree Qin Meng lived.

Qin Meng didn’t have to worry about being killed, as long as he was still surnamed Qin and didn’t do anything that made Qin Xing disgusted, then he was absolutely safe.

Shen Zhen had an intuitive understanding of how powerful the Qin family was only after experiencing many things in his last life.

All domestic enterprises and groups must bow their heads in front of the Qin family. If the Qin family said one, no one dared to say two.

No matter which family the Qin family was going to deal with, no one dared to stand up and say that they still dare to do business with that family.

Qin Xing had no shortage of money and power.

Shen Zhen felt that if he and Qin Xing switched places, he would also feel bored.

Because there was simply no challenge.

Therefore, the Qin family’s current focus was moving abroad.

Open up new markets and conquer new territory.

Qin Xing’s ambition was endless.

Therefore, the Shen family, who had been developing abroad this whole time, could not escape this time.

Shen Zhen knew how he was going to walk this road from now on. He had to take over the Shen family, and then use the Shen family as an expression of surrender and loyalty to Qin Xing.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have any confidence at all that Qin Xing would even accept his pledge.

Shen Zhen could even predict that if he couldn’t take over the Shen family, Qin Xing would give up on him completely, and then the Qin family would take action.

When sitting in the car, Qin Yue seemed to ask Shen Zhen carelessly, “What are you planning to do?”

Shen Zhen smiled and tilted his head. This action made him look very innocent. He said to Qin Yue, “Big Brother, what can I do?”

Qin Yue smiled: “You can coax Uncle, how can you not be able to coax the Shen family?”

Shen Zhen sighed: “I don’t know why Uncle suddenly acted so nice to me.”

It didn’t look like Shen Zhen was telling a lie.

Qin Yue turned to look at Shen Zhen. He didn’t smile often, only in front of Qin Xing wpuld he smile slightly. Sometimes Shen Zhen even felt that Qin Yue didn’t know how to control his facial skin, but at this moment Qin Yue was smiling at him, just like when they skipped class together a long time ago, squatting in the corner and smiling at each other.

“Ah Zhen, this is your luck.” Qin Yue said, “Grasp it.”

Shen Zhen nodded, but he would not be moved. Now, no matter what Qin Yue said or did, only the image of Qin Yue condescendingly telling him to die appeared in his mind.

Shen Zhen suddenly looked at Qin Yue with a half-smile: “Do you know what Su Shiqing asked me for before?”

Qin Yue looked at Shen Zhen, he likely have already guessed it.

Shen Zhen said sarcastically, “Do you think I should yield it over to him?”

Qin Yue looked ahead and said nothing.

Shen Zhen: “How can I give it to him?”

“Unless I had already grabbed it over first, I can give it away, Big Brother, am I right?”

Qin Yue: “Ah Zhen, don’t blame Shi Qing, he has nothing, so he hopes to grasp onto something.”

Shen Zhen leaned on Qin Yue’s shoulder, showing a rare tiredness: “He has nothing, what do I have? The Shen family? Or the Qin family?”

Qin Yue patted Shen Zhen on the shoulder: “You have me.”

“I am your most faithful friend.”

There was a sneer at the corner of Shen Zhen’s mouth, but his tone was still gentle: “You are also Su Shiqing’s friend.”

Qin Yue: “That’s different.”

“We have over twenty years of friendship.”

But it still couldn’t match the one to two years of love for Su Shiqing.

Shen Zhen closed his eyes slightly: “I’m tired, call me when we arrive.”

Since showing weakness was beneficial, why not show it?

Being a mute Bodhisattva was far better than a verbal Shura.

There was a sneer at the corner of Shen Zhen’s mouth.

Qin Yue took off his suit jacket and put it on Shen Zhen: “Go ahead and sleep.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Yue’s profile. He was not wronged when he fell in love with Qin Yue. When Qin Yue wanted to be nice to someone, no one could escape his affectionate trap. Qin Yue was a smart hunter, but he was the dumbest prey ever.

Not anymore though.

AN: Qin Xing: “Uncle has always liked you the most.”

Shen Zhen: “Ah ptooey!”

After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn

After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn CH 224 Meeting The Family 

9 Comments

The moment Tao Mu stepped through the door, the crowded Li family home suddenly fell silent.

Dozens of pairs of eyes glanced over. Tao Mu’s figure paused slightly, and he kept getting the feeling that at a certain moment when everyone in the Li family looked at him at the same time, he seemed to be standing in front of an X-ray machine. From head to toe, not a single spot was missed, even down to the bone and flesh were seen through.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

It was honestly a bit scary!

Tao Mu subconsciously squeezed his hands and took a breath.

“Brother Mu, you’re here~” Li Xiaoheng’s twin brother and sister jumped up from the sofa and rushed in front of Tao Mu.

Probably seeing that Tao Mu was a little nervous, little sister Li blinked her big doe-like eyes, turned to the greeting gifts that Tao Mu was holding in his hands, and said kindly, “Brother Mu, you brought us gifts again?”

It would have been better not to mention this. As soon as this matter was mentioned, Tao Mu became a bit embarrassed as well. Because he did not expect that so many people would come to the Li family home, the preparations for the greeting gifts were obviously not enough.

At this moment, even Mr. Tao, who was a sophisticated socializing expert, didn’t know what to say. Obviously, his life experience and socializing skills have not been updated to the “mother-in-law meets son-in-law” page. Completely unprepared, Tao Mu even had a moment of brain downtime. So that he failed to respond to little sister Li’s greetings in time, instead he looked at Li Xiaoheng subconsciously.

From the moment he entered the door, Li Xiaoheng was watching Tao Mu’s every move with all his attention. Of course, he didn’t miss this moment of confusion and subconscious request for help.

Li Xiaoheng stepped forward, stretched out his hand to take the greeting gifts from Tao Mu, and stuffed it directly into his little brother’s hands. Instead of answering, he asked, “I’ve only been out for less than an hour, why are there so many people at home?”

The uninvited elders of the Li family spoke up immediately, and even the explanation seemed to have been negotiated in draft: “The company’s annual meeting is about to be held. We just want to order a customized outfit to wear at the annual meeting. It just so happens that your parents invited the designer to come over, so we came together as well.”

The white haired old gentleman of the Li family and the old madam of the Li family sat on the sofa, examining Tao Mu with a kind smile, and said smilingly, “So this is your partner, right? The young man is quite handsome indeed.”

Tao Mu maintained a polite smile, greeted the two elderly people warmly, and then thanked them. With a polite appearance, it really echoed the image of a junior who came to visit the elders for the first time.

Everyone picked up on the unease Tao Mu deliberately leaked under his gentle and courteous performance. This was also Tao Mu’s subconscious performance after seeing so many elders of the Li family, and he thought it was the most suitable reaction for this occasion.

Sure enough, after seeing Tao Mu’s humble, polite and gentle side, the elders of Li family were extremely satisfied with Tao Mu’s performance. They all felt that although Tao Mu was very talented in business and had a net worth of tens of billions at such a young age, he was not like some young people who gained success at a young age, prideful and arrogant.

Only Li Xiaoheng could feel that Tao Mu’s gentle and humble appearance concealed a strong sense of unease and discomfort, and even a vague bit of anger and embarrassment.

In front of many elders and peers in the family, Li Xiaoheng, who didn’t want to take the blame, squeezed Tao Mu’s palm without any intention of hiding, and explained with a smile, “I didn’t expect there would be so many people in the family home. I told Xiao Mu that there were only my parents and younger siblings at home, letting him know not to be nervous.” As a result, so many of you gathered over without even a heads up. Now it was impossible not to be nervous even if he didn’t want to.

Tao Mu also came back to his senses at this time. He said with a warm smile, “It’s all because of my lack of etiquette, excuse me for my presumptuousness.”

“It’s not presumptuous at all, and you have not disturbed us either.” Li Xiaoheng’s youngest aunt smiled and said, “To be honest, we’ve all been waiting for this day for many years——”

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by her husband who was sitting next to her: “So Mr. Tao just has an affinity with our Li family. There is no need to make an appointment, such a large family could just get together naturally. It can be seen as the saying goes, those not belonging to the same family don’t enter the same family. Dad, don’t you think so, too?”

Li Xiaoheng’s youngest uncle helped his wife, who almost blurted the big truth out, to cover up as well as took advantage of the situation and dragged his father-in-law into the water.

Old Mr. Li nodded slowly, calmly took out the red envelope that he had prepared for a long time, and said with a smile: “You are a good child. Xiao Heng being with you…..”

When old Mr. Li spoke to here, he gasped as if he had difficulty breathing, and continued: “…..as business partners, I am very relieved.”

“As your first time visiting, this is a little bit of us elder’s sincerity.” Old Mr. Li put the red envelope into Tao Mu’s hand and said with a smile, “I hope your cooperation will last long and well.”

Old madam Li waited for old Mr. Li to finish speaking, and she also took out the red envelope that had been prepared long ago from her pocket and handed it to Tao Mu together.

From the mouths of their son and daughter-in-law, the old couple also learned that their eldest grandson was in a relationship with the child. However, the child was young and thin-skinned, and didn’t seem to want to announce it in front of the parents. So he had refused to agree to visit the Li family home this whole time.

This time, Li Xiaoheng was finally able to coax him to come for a visit. While the elders of the Li family wanted to watch, they didn’t dare to speak too blatantly. Lest the child got angry and settled accounts with their grandson afterwards.

Thinking of this, the elders of the Li family looked at Li Xiaoheng in unison. Those eyes all held resentful and impatient gazes for a certain someone’s failure to meet expectations…..looks that Li Xiaoheng had never seen since he entered kindergarten!

With old Mr. Li and old madam Li starting the example, the rest of the Li family also took out red envelopes and gave them to Tao Mu. When Tao Mu came, he really didn’t expect to encounter such. Receiving a pile of red envelopes, and also recognizing the crowd of people. The whole process developed inexplicably, and Tao Mu was a little dazed.

After receiving the red envelopes, Tao Mu felt quite embarrassed. Seeing the younger members of the Li family who were also sitting in the living room and looking at him curiously——Li Xiaoheng’s younger brothers, sister, nephews, nieces, etc——he also wanted to give out some red envelopes to coax the children.

Only to be stopped by Li Xiaoheng’s youngest aunt. The youngest aunt who had almost misspoken just now took Tao Mu’s hand and said nonchalantly, “You don’t need to give red envelopes when you come to visit for the first time. The rules of our Li family are that if you are single, no matter the age, you don’t need to give red envelopes to juniors.”

When the youngest aunt said this, she also deliberately glanced at Li Xiaoheng who was beside Tao Mu the whole time, and spoke in a, according to herself, very small voice that was actually very loud: “This nephew of mine has always refused to date. Us elders even guessed in private whether the reason this stinky boy will not date is because he does not want to give out red envelopes, so despite these many years he won’t date, go on blind dates, or get married? But it turns out that it wasn’t that this boy didn’t want to date, he just had too high standards for finding a partner, so he had to pick the best one. It seems he just didn’t like those people I had introduced to him before…..”

The youngest uncle coughed several times, and kept jabbing the youngest aunt’s lower back with his elbow. Hinting at his wife to stop talking. The youngest aunt became annoyed at being jabbed and waved her hand to slap away the youngest uncle’s paw, and asked angrily, “Why do you keep jabbing me? Don’t you see me talking to Xiao Mu?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The youngest aunt didn’t want to pay attention to the youngest uncle, and rolled her eyes at him. Turning around, she continued to hold Tao Mu’s hand and said, “If you are really feeling apologetic and want to give red envelopes to the children, as your auntie, I will not stop you. As long as you discuss it with Xiao Heng, whenever you want to give out red envelopes, isn’t it up to you? The men in our Li family are very obedient on this point. If you are really anxious, it can actually be arranged this year…..”

Tao Mu was instantly shocked as if struck by lightning. Subconsciously, he wanted to deny it all.

I’m not, I don’t, youngest auntie, don’t talk nonsense!
