After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

Qin Wanqing frowned and snorted coldly, "The agreement was for three months. Third Aunt, aren't you being a little too hasty?"

A month ago, she had just become paralyzed, and the Qin family's top management urgently convened a meeting.

The vast majority of people agreed that the Qin Group could no longer be led by Qin Wanqing.

It's a huge joke that the Qin family, the head of the four major families in Jingzhou, would let a cripple take power.

Moreover, rumors have already begun to circulate within the upper echelons of Jingzhou's society.

It is said that a master examined Qin Wanqing's face and concluded that this Queen of Jingzhou was born with a flawed destiny.

Not only is she a jinx to her husband, but she is also a jinx to herself, and may even bring misfortune to her family!

Qin Wanqing's paralysis was a manifestation of this "husband-killing" fate beginning to manifest!

If she continues to sit in the position of Qin family head, the entire Qin family will be dragged into an abyss of no return!

Qin Wanqing, of course, didn't believe a single word of this absurd claim.

Even though she was furious and resentful, she had no choice but to compromise in the face of family interests and kinship.

He was forced to resign from his position as president of the Qin Group and step down to a secondary role.

He even promised that if he had not recovered by three months, he would transfer all his shares and companies to the Qin family.

Completely withdraw from the Qin family's power structure!

Unexpectedly, only a month later, these people started to get impatient and pressured her to fulfill her promise ahead of schedule.

"Wanqing, your third aunt is doing this for your own good. You need to rest and recuperate properly given your current health condition."

"We can't worry about anything else, otherwise not only will it be difficult to recover, but the situation may even worsen..."

Zhao Jianqiang, the third son-in-law of the Qin family, adjusted his glasses, his face full of sincerity.

As for the other high-ranking members of the Qin family, none of them spoke at this time.

But in such situations, silence itself is an attitude.

"Wanqing, I know you want to borrow good fortune by marrying into the Ye family to help you get through the crisis."

"Leaving aside whether the claim of borrowing the Ye family's fortune is credible, the key issue is that the man who wants to marry you now is not the legitimate son of the Ye family, but an adopted son!"

"To put it bluntly, this kid has absolutely no connection to the Ye family! Marrying him will only bring shame to my Qin family, and will be completely meaningless!"

Qin Yuezhu glanced at Ye Bai sideways, her disdain and contempt almost tangible.

Then, another sentence was added.

"Accept reality, Wanqing. This is all your fate. Take the money and live out the rest of your life well. Would we, as your elders, ever let you down?"

“Yes, you are our own niece, would we harm you?” The others finally chimed in, nodding in agreement.

Qin Wanqing's pretty face turned ashen with anger.

What disgusted her most was these high-ranking members of the Qin family, who put on an act of being elders who were doing it for her own good.

However, she was afraid that if Old Madam Qin found out about this, she would be so angry that she would suffer a serious injury, so she couldn't really break off all ties.

"Um...were you talking about me just now?"

Just as Qin Wanqing was at a loss for what to do, a questioning voice suddenly rang out.

Ye Bai, who had been silently devouring his food, raised his head.

They ate until their mouths were greasy.

There's no way around it, the food from the Qin family is just too delicious.

Those exquisite dishes are not only beautiful to look at, but also taste top-notch.

From this perspective, it is not a rumor that the Qin family has a renowned chef who oversees state banquets.

We're in for a treat now.

"...Wipe your mouth first."

Qin Wanqing handed Ye Bai a napkin, then looked up and rubbed her forehead.

Tired.

He comes from a wealthy family like the Ye family. Even if he is an adopted son, he shouldn't be treated so badly, right?

Judging from his posture just now, Ye Bai looked like a starving ghost reincarnated.

"Thank you."

Ye Bai didn't seem to mind and smiled as he accepted the napkin.

Qin Wanqing was used to a life of luxury and had no idea how arduous his ten years guarding the deep mountains had been.

Being able to eat your fill is already a luxury, let alone eating well.

Upon returning, he found himself unable to spend the money he had earned on himself, and even getting a decent meal was an impossible task.

The Ye family certainly didn't lack food or drink, but whether intentionally or through misunderstanding, they thought he was a Taoist practitioner who didn't eat meat, so they served him vegetarian meals every day, and his mouth had long since become so bland...

"Wanqing, it seems our son-in-law hasn't had enough to eat yet. Why don't you ask the kitchen to prepare another meal for him?"

Qin Yuezhu laughed so hard she almost fell over, and suddenly realized that Qin Wanqing marrying this adopted son of the Ye family was not a bad thing at all.

Look at those eyes; they're so clear yet tinged with a strange kind of foolishness.

Not only is he a good-for-nothing, but he's also a foodie.

It's a pity; he can only live for three months at most before he's cursed to die.

"Do you all think that Wanqing will never be able to stand up again in this lifetime?"

Ye Bai didn't care about the other party's sarcastic tone and asked curiously.

"Isn't that obvious? My Qin family has consulted renowned doctors all over the country, but they've all been helpless. Look how much our hair has turned white from worry!"

Zhao Jianqiang snorted coldly, knowing there was no need for pretense or politeness when dealing with Ye Bai.

The others also looked displeased, finding the adopted son of the Ye family increasingly unpleasant to look at.

"In that case, how about we make a bet?"

"If Wanqing is unable to recover within ten days, the shares and the company will be transferred to you."

"If you are lucky enough to recover, will you also transfer your shares to her?"

Ye Bai revealed that harmless smile.

"Is this true?"

Qin Yuezhu and the others' eyes lit up, both surprised and delighted.

They had all privately consulted those renowned doctors, and everyone came to the same conclusion.

Qin Wanqing's paralysis is incurable!

But isn't the Ye family's adopted son proposing this kind of bet helping them fulfill their wishes?

Could this kid be one of our own?

Or perhaps this adopted son of the Ye family never wanted to marry Qin Wanqing, but was forced into it by the Ye family. Once Qin Wanqing completely loses power, he can find an excuse to break off the engagement to avoid being cursed to death?

The more Qin Yuezhu and the others thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Their attitude towards Ye Bai changed instantly, and they began to find him extremely pleasing to the eye.

To their disappointment, Qin Wanqing did not agree. Instead, she grabbed a large lobster and stuffed it into Ye Bai's mouth, scolding, "Eat your food, and stay out of Qin family business!"

Qin Yuezhu said unhappily, "Wanqing, what kind of attitude is this! Xiaobai is now your husband and a member of my Qin family! Of course he has the right to participate in your affairs!"

Ye Bai quickly nodded and said, "That's right, Qin Wanqing, how can you talk to your husband like that! Don't you have any self-awareness about your own situation? Your aunt and uncle are your closest relatives and elders, and they are people who genuinely want what's best for you!"

"You surnamed Ye..." Qin Wanqing was so angry that she had the urge to flip the table, but just then, she saw Ye Bai secretly wink at her, his clear eyes full of sincerity.

This made Qin Wanqing's heart flutter slightly, but she swallowed back the rest of her words and coldly snorted, "I need to think about it!"

Sensing the softening in Qin Wanqing's tone, Zhao Jianqiang suppressed his elation and smiled, "Wanqing, take your time to think it over, there's no rush."

"Xiao Bai, now that you've entered the Qin family, we're all family now. Auntie thinks highly of you, so I'd like to raise a glass to you to welcome you."

Qin Yuezhu raised her wine glass, and at that moment she even wanted to hug Ye Bai and kiss him hard.

This kid is fucking savvy!

"That's right, let's all toast the new son-in-law!"

Zhao Jianqiang and the others raised their glasses, beaming with joy, becoming even more convinced that this adopted son of the Ye family was their lucky star.
