I don't want to be your wife.

"Are you doubting me?" A strange feeling welled up from the bottom of his heart. Su Mumu was under the influence of the drug, so Qin Feng must be thinking something bad.

Seeing the resistance on Su Mumu's face, Qin Feng paused for a moment, his suspicions completely dissipated, and his voice softened, "No, it's just simple curiosity."

Su Mumu has always done things for his own good, so why should he doubt her? Qin Feng believes Su Mumu wouldn't harm him; what's wrong with having a few secrets?

As the strange feeling in Su Mumu's heart dissipated, Su Mumu's heart calmed down.

"That's not important. What's important is that I'm that person's daughter, not an illegitimate child! It's just that I don't like to be involved in my parents' work, nor do I want to become a soldier like my older siblings. I just want to travel around on my own. That's my background."

As for my persona, that's how it came about: simple and capable, yet with the liveliness of a typical girl. So I'll dress simply and get my hair trimmed later so it doesn't look too messy.

"You really can play any role," Qin Feng remarked, impressed by Su Mumu's confidence in using any identity. "What about me? What's the point of my persona?"

"You, all you need to do is maintain appearances. Zhang Ya will provide the confidence. My identity is the bottom line that they won't dare to push their luck. You have to fight for your own interests. I'll just offer suggestions. Consider this a training opportunity for you!"

Qin Feng tensed up. Su Mumu's identity meant she couldn't step forward during the redistribution of power; only he could stand in the open. Qin Feng was under immense pressure.

"By the way, Zhang Ya, you'd better be careful. Although I forced her onto our ship, I'm afraid you won't be able to control her if I don't intervene personally. You'd better keep some trump cards up your sleeve."

How could an ordinary college girl possibly control all of the Zhang family's businesses in a city? Zhang Ya must be no ordinary person. Su Mumu doesn't think Qin Feng can outmaneuver her right now.

"Well, but what trump card do I need?" Qin Feng looked to Su Mumu for help.

Su Mumu sensed someone staring at her, and when she looked up, she saw Qin Feng looking at her expectantly.

"What the hell? You don't expect me to prepare your trump cards, do you? What use are you then?"

Qin Feng also wanted to prepare on his own, but wouldn't all the backup plans he could prepare be guessed by the Qin family? Now, besides Su Mumu, what other trump cards could he prepare?

Thinking this, Qin Feng grabbed Su Mumu's hand.

"Mu Mu, you're my trump card, aren't you!"

(It will be available tomorrow, and I haven't even finished writing the launch message yet. I've been so busy lately.)

Author's Note on the Launch of Chapter 77

It's finally going to be available! I have a lot of feelings about it, so I'll keep it short.

At first, I wrote books just for money. I had nothing to do during the summer vacation, and I didn't want to work a summer job in this hot weather, so I decided to just write novels.

As for now, the purpose isn't so utilitarian anymore. I've been writing for over a month, and I'm actually quite happy now. Writing is usually a very enjoyable thing. My mood affects the plot, and the plot affects my mood; it's a very strange thing.

Writing books isn't just about money anymore. Sharing my stories with everyone is also a very enjoyable thing. Seeing everyone's comments and feedback makes me happy too. Before I knew it, writing books had become one of my daily leisure activities.

I can't guarantee anything, but I will finish this book. Even if the results are poor, I won't give up.

I'm launching it without any promotion, but my goal is to get over 100,000 first-time orders!

I'm so busy that I can only release 20,000 words for the book. I'm sorry. If you like this book, I hope you'll support it!

Chapter 78 Qin Family

Seeing Qin Feng's outstretched hand, Su Mumu had a sudden idea. She grabbed Yi Lulu, who was sleeping under the coffee table, and stuffed her into Qin Feng's hand.

"Here, my trump card, I'm entrusting Qin Feng to you, Ilulu!"

The person and the cat looked at each other, then turned their gaze to Su Mumu.

"Meow~ (I might not be human, but Su Mu, you really are a dog. Who makes a cat do hard labor?)"

"That's going too far, Mu Mu. This is making things too difficult for Yi Lulu. What can a cat do?"

Su Mumu glanced at Qin Feng disdainfully, "It's one thing for Yi Lulu to look down on you, but what gives you the right to look down on her? She's the most capable one in our family now, you know? Anyway, if you don't understand anything, just ask Yi Lulu, and she'll tell you!"

Ilulu was shoved directly into Qin Feng's arms, while Su Mumu was responsible for holding back the struggling Ilulu. In order to perform normally today, Su Mumu specially found recovery medicine from the system store yesterday, and now she has returned to her peak condition!

"Meow? (My opinion doesn't matter?)" Ilulu was still confused.

The two, who had everything prepared, arrived at the Qin family home at 10:30 in the morning. The huge manor was covered with white cloth, and the sounds of erhu and suona came from inside the manor. The servants at the manor gate were also dressed in white mourning clothes.

"Xiao Feng is back?" After getting out of the car, Su Mumu and Qin Feng had just stepped into the main house when someone spoke up.

"Hello, Uncle." Qin Feng greeted her first, and then introduced Su Mumu, "This is my girlfriend, Su Mumu. I thought I'd bring her back with me this time I came home."

"Girlfriend? Great, great!" Uncle patted Qin Feng on the shoulder before looking at Su Mumu. "Su Mumu, right? Then I'll just call her Mumu. I'm Qin Feng's uncle, Qin Yu. You can just call me Uncle too."

"Hello, Uncle~" Su Mumu greeted sweetly, with a slight smile on her face, hiding slightly behind Qin Feng, as if she was still a little nervous.

"Great! Great!" Uncle seemed very happy and patted Qin Feng on the shoulder again. "Go back to your room first. Mu Mu can stay in your room, okay?"

"Okay, Uncle," Qin Feng reacted quickly this time, agreeing before Su Mumu had a chance to refuse.

Seeing Qin Feng agree so quickly, Su Mumu didn't resist. Her uncle then told Qin Feng to take Su Mumu away first, as he still had to greet the guests who would arrive later.

Qin Feng's room was at the far end of the second floor of the main house. It was a fairly spacious room, and the sheets and other items looked like they had been changed and washed frequently, appearing brand new. There was no musty smell from not having lived there for a long time; instead, the room was filled with sunlight streaming through the window.

"Tell me about your family!" Su Mumu went into the house, lay down on the bed, and rolled around a couple of times. "That uncle from earlier seemed to treat you quite well."

"Yes, my uncle is now in charge of taking care of my grandmother and doesn't care about the company." Qin Feng drew the curtains, preventing the sunlight from shining in. "My father had four brothers. My grandfather named them with a bit of superstition. The names were Yu Yi, Nan Jiao, Mei Gu, and Shuo Fang, each taking the first character from one of the four directions. Qin Nan didn't sound good, so we should have named them Qin Xi, hoping that the four brothers would guard the four directions like the four sons of Xi He."

"I didn't expect your grandfather to be so particular," Su Mumu said, turning over in bed. "How did the other people inside treat you?"

"Actually, they've all been good to me. My eldest uncle took care of my grandmother and never married; my second uncle started his own business, but his company wasn't as big as my parents', and now he's in charge of a subsidiary of the Qin family; my fourth uncle is the only one in the family still working in the company, and he's the one who's using my shares."

"Hmm? Where's Third Uncle? Is he dead? I haven't heard you mention him." Su Mumu frowned, sensing something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Suddenly, Su Mumu realized something, looked up at Qin Feng, and found that Qin Feng was also staring at her expressionlessly.

"Um, I'm sorry, I had a brain fart and didn't react in time~" Su Mumu realized she had a brain fart and quickly apologized.

Qin Feng gently tapped Su Mumu on the head and continued speaking.

"Actually, my fourth uncle is quite good to me. I don't think he took my shares just to gain power. After all, he has no children, so the shares will still be mine in the end."

"Why didn't any of you leave any descendants? You're the only junior among your four brothers?" Su Mumu was shocked. Aren't large families usually full of descendants?

"That's not the case. My second uncle has an older brother and an older sister. Although my eldest uncle doesn't have a wife, he has quite a few illegitimate children. However, I am the most suitable among the younger generation of the Qin family to take over the Qin family."

This is what puzzled Qin Feng. If no one in the Qin family had any reason to harm him, then who was it that wanted to assassinate him in his previous life and forced him to flee to the Middle East alone?

An outsider? That's unlikely. After all, he's just the successor of the Qin family. As long as his uncles and elders are still around, the Qin family won't be defeated. Assassinating him would be asking for trouble.

"Then why are you fighting over them? Aren't they all family? And they have no reason to fight you over them. What's going on in your family?" Family matters are the hardest to decide, especially since the Qin family doesn't seem to be arguing at all. How can this be resolved?

"I'm afraid that although someone is still in the Qin family, they no longer trust Qin." This is the only possibility. Only if there are outsiders in the Qin family who want to destroy Qin Feng and control the Qin family as puppets could such a thing happen.

Su Mumu sighed, "You're playing double agents even through your family? No wonder they say bourgeois people should hang themselves from lampposts, they deserve it."

"Don't think about it anymore, let's go see Grandma first. It's not easy to come home, we should at least visit the oldest elder in the family." Qin Feng didn't know why anyone would do such a thing, but there was no use thinking about it now.

"Alright, alright, whatever you're going to do, at least you won't lose out if you have the stuff in your hands. The plan will proceed as scheduled. I just hope you can be brave then~" Since it was Qin Feng's family matter, Su Mumu didn't want to think about it anymore.

"Come on, I'll take you to see my grandma. She'll be very happy to see you." Qin Feng took Su Mumu's hand and walked out of the room, then found his uncle who was still in the hall.

"Uncle, where is Grandma? I'll take Mumu to see her."

“She’s on the back hill. She went to see your parents this morning. Your second uncle should be there taking care of her. You should be able to find her if you go directly up the hill.” The eldest uncle pointed to the small hill behind the manor.

"Is it in the back mountain? Then I can take you to see my parents while I'm at it." Qin Feng took Su Mumu's hand and walked towards the back mountain.

The Qin family's manor is very large, and the back mountain is quite a distance from the main residence. Fortunately, there are vehicles available in the manor, otherwise it would be quite a walk.

"As expected of a large family, even their house is so much bigger than mine. I saw so many houses." This was Su Mumu's first time visiting such a manor-style building, and it was truly an eye-opening experience.

Chapter 79 The Strange Second Uncle

"It's nothing really, this is our ancestral home, it's just been renovated," Qin Feng said nonchalantly. This place had been the Qin family's garden since Qin Feng's grandfather was a child.

"Ancestral home? Your ancestors were quite important, weren't they? This must have left your family some good things." Su Mumu was still very curious; this was the first time she had learned so much about Qin Feng.

"Yeah, it seems like my family has a long history of officials, passing it down from generation to generation. This courtyard has been passed down to my generation. A few years ago, after my parents' business became successful, they renovated it all." Qin Feng looked at the scenery by the roadside, his eyes full of memories.

This is also where Qin Feng grew up. When he was a child, his parents bought a mansion outside, but they still wanted to bring Qin Feng back to live in this big garden. This made Qin Feng love this garden as much as his own home.

The back mountain isn't far; we arrived in no time.

"Grandma!" Qin Feng called out as soon as he got out of the car, and then he heard an old but happy voice coming from the mountain.

"Hey! Xiao Feng is back?" An old man slowly emerged from the mountain, supported by a middle-aged man. Qin Feng hurriedly pulled Su Mumu up to greet him.

"Grandma, Second Uncle, I'm back!" Qin Feng took his grandmother's hand from his second uncle and helped her up. "Grandma, this is Su Mumu, my girlfriend!"

"Hello Grandma, hello Second Uncle!" Su Mumu's voice was as sweet as ever, and a smile kept appearing on her grandmother's face as she listened.

"Good, good!" Grandma happily grasped Su Mumu's hand. "Xiaofeng is so great! Su Mumu, right? You're even prettier than Xiaofeng's mother! The whole family is good-looking!"

"Thank you, Grandma~" Su Mumu's voice was slightly shy, but she still didn't pull away from her grandmother's hand. "Grandma looked very beautiful when she was young~"

"Haha, you have such a sweet mouth, Grandma loves you!" Grandma stroked Su Mumu's little hand, her eyes brimming with laughter.

"Xiao Xi, quickly take Xiao Feng and Mu Mu upstairs. Let's sit up and chat!" Grandma Qin Feng looked at Uncle Qin Feng, and Su Mu Mu then began to carefully observe her second uncle.

His body was slightly overweight in middle age, but his resolute face still showed the charm of his youth. His face was expressionless, just slightly stern, and he did things meticulously. Just as Qin Feng said, this was what an ambitious young man who failed in his pursuit of his dreams looked like in his old age.

"Second Uncle must have had a very exciting life when he was young. It seems like he experienced a lot when he was young!" Su Mumu's voice was full of longing, which made Second Uncle's thoughts return to the past, but he quickly came to his senses again.

"Haha, you're quite the talker, but now that I'm old, I have the ambition but not the strength." Uncle Er sighed, as if expressing regret.

Su Mumu saw her second uncle's eyes light up for a moment before dimming again. She began to be wary of him. People who are depressed and frustrated are usually the best targets for provocation. This might be Qin Feng's number one enemy.

Su Mumu wisely refrained from asking further questions, as it would be dissuading her. Therefore, Su Mumu decided to send her second uncle away first and try to get some information from her grandmother.

"Grandma, can I see Qin Feng's childhood photos? Qin Feng has always refused to let me see them, but now that he's home, he can't stop me from asking him." Su Mumu's voice carried a hint of pride as she glanced at Qin Feng, a slight upturn at the corners of her lips.

As Su Mumu expected, her grandmother indeed asked her second uncle to go find the photo album.

"Xiao Xi, go get the photo album. Xiao Feng, don't go! I'm not only going to show it to Mu Mu, but I'm also going to tell Mu Mu about the embarrassing things you did!" Grandma grabbed Qin Feng's hand and then told Second Uncle to get the photo album.

While her second uncle was away and the photo album hadn't arrived yet, Su Mumu quickly asked her grandmother about her second uncle.

"Grandma, why does Second Uncle look so unhappy?" Su Mumu asked, looking at her second uncle as he left, her face filled with curiosity.

Grandma didn't suspect anything and told Su Mumu the story of her second uncle.

"Alas, your second uncle also had bad luck. When they were young, among the four brothers, Xiao Xi and Xiao Mei were the closest. Knowing that Xiao Mei was planning to start a business, Xiao Xi decided to try it out himself. However, he did not do as well as Xiao Mei. After he started working for Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei soon fell ill and passed away. It was a pity for Xiao Xi and Xiao Feng."

Grandma looked towards the other side of the hill behind the house, where the Qin family cemetery was located. Many members of the Qin family were buried there. A little over a month ago, Qin Feng's parents were also buried there.

Su Mumu also became puzzled. This didn't seem like a problem. Could it be that the traitor wasn't among these people?

However, Su Mumu did not show it on her face. Instead, she looked at the cemetery and asked, "Grandma, I want to go see Qin Feng's parents, is that alright?"

Grandma wiped away her tears, and with her clean hand, she took Su Mumu's hand. "Okay, Grandma will take you to see them. I'm sure Xiaomei will be very happy to see you!"

Upon arriving at the monument, one finds that Qin Feng's parents were also buried together, their life stories engraved on the same monument.

Grandma was right; Qin Feng's mother was also a beauty. Although the wrinkles on her face made her look a little old, the smile at the corner of her mouth revealed an intellectual beauty.

"Meow~ (There's a problem. Based on my analysis of your group, this person doesn't seem like someone who's terminally ill at all.)"

Since Ilulu can't turn into a cat, she can only stay at home and act as Su Mumu's personal cheat code, observing problems through Su Mumu's perspective.

It's no wonder they're from a wealthy family; the photo on the tombstone is very clear, and although it's in black and white, some details on the face are still clearly visible.

"They are indeed beautiful, and Qin Feng's father is also very handsome. They are a perfect match!" Su Mumu did not show her doubts, but silently kept them in mind. There must be something wrong with Qin Feng's family, but that was not the purpose of this trip.

A little while later, my second uncle came to the back hill with a thick stack of photo albums. Following the voices of the group, he arrived at the cemetery and handed the albums to my grandmother, saying, "Mom, we found them."

Second Uncle's voice was flat and emotionless, and Su Mumu couldn't glean anything from it. So she could only turn her gaze to the photo album in Second Uncle's hand and show a very interested look.

"Grandma, let's go out and see!" This time, Su Mumu's curiosity and excitement were genuine. She was very interested in Qin Feng when he was a child, and the thick stack of photo albums clearly recorded every little detail of Qin Feng's life before he turned eighteen.

Chapter 80 Qin Feng's Photo Album

Qin Feng looked reluctant, clearly his opinion had no effect on Su Mumu and her grandmother, and the two of them still opened Qin Feng's photo album.

The first photo that catches the eye is of Qin Feng just after he was born. Sure enough, everyone looks the same when they are young. Qin Feng looks tiny, with his hands and feet swaying restlessly, his mouth open and his eyes closed. He is obviously crying loudly.

"Qin Feng was so cute when he was little!" Su Mumu's maternal instincts kicked in, and she suddenly found herself liking the baby too.

"If you like, we can have one together." Since he couldn't change the established facts, Qin Feng could only try to salvage his image by offering his own explanation.

"Tch! You wish." Su Mumu snapped out of her maternal reverie, rolled her eyes at Qin Feng, and then continued looking at the photos.

The following photos are all of Qin Feng when he was a child with his parents. It is clear that Qin Feng's parents love him very much, and you can see their genuine smiles in every photo.

"It's so nice, I wish this kind of life could last forever~" Both Qin Feng and Su Mumu have family problems. Qin Feng's parents have passed away, and Su Mumu is still arguing with her parents and running away from home.

Hearing Su Mumu's sentiments, Qin Feng also felt a pang of sadness. The experiences of the past ten years had already allowed Qin Feng to calmly accept the fact that his parents had passed away, but the chance to start over in life gave Qin Feng hope. However, that hope was ultimately shattered, and it was only thanks to Su Mumu that Qin Feng was able to emerge from the shadows.

Seeing that Qin Feng's expression had become a little depressed, Su Mumu quickly waved her hand, "Ah, I didn't mean to bring that up, I was just thinking about my home, and it just came to mind..."

Qin Feng naturally didn't continue to be depressed. Instead, he looked up at Su Mumu and said, "It's okay. I've accepted it after all this time. Now all I need to do is cherish you by my side."

Su Mumu didn't refute, she could only give a simple "hmm" and then continue to look at the photos.

Then he started crawling on his own. Tiny Qin Feng crawled slowly on the ground, one step at a time, which was quite amusing to watch. Su Mumu watched and smiled at Qin Feng, making him feel less embarrassed.
