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

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chengfeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he subconsciously adjusted his glasses, asking in confusion, "Has something gone wrong?"

Qin Wanqing shook her head and said, "No, it's just that there are some feng shui issues that I'd like to ask him about."

Zhao Chengfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Then I'll go ask for you. It was someone else who introduced me; I don't know them."

Qin Wanqing nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

Then, seeing that Zhao Chengfeng still hadn't left and instead seemed hesitant to speak, Qin Wanqing asked in confusion, "Is there something else?"

Zhao Chengfeng hesitated and said, "There's something I don't know whether I should say or not..."

Qin Wanqing frowned and said unhappily, "President Zhao, being so fussy isn't like you."

Zhao Chengfeng smiled wryly, "Alright, then I'll tell you. I've heard a rumor that's bad for you and the Qin family, it's about that adopted son of the Ye family..."

"About Ye Bai?"

Qin Wanqing was taken aback, and asked with some curiosity, "Tell me about it."

Although they were married, they were not really familiar with each other.

When I used to watch videos and read comments, there were many people who said that the relationship between husband and wife was not good, but this was the only one who was not familiar with each other.

Qin Wanqing found it amusing at the time, but now she realizes that it is clearly the most accurate reflection of her relationship with Ye Bai.

All jokes originate from real life; this is absolutely true.

"It is said that the adopted son of the Ye family was of bad character and heartless from a young age. After being adopted by the Ye family, he not only showed no gratitude, but also plotted to seize the Ye family's property."

"The Ye family showed him pity and tolerance because he was an orphan, hoping to influence him with kindness. But not only did it have no effect, it also made him more wicked."

"Ten years ago, that adopted son of the Ye family secretly obtained poison and wanted to poison the entire Ye family so that he could become the legitimate heir."

"Fortunately, the Ye family was not destined to die, and they were saved by a master. Afterwards, that master felt that Ye Bai was too violent, so he took him away to reform him, and ten years have passed since then."

"Unexpectedly, even after such a long time, he still hasn't repented. The adopted son of the Ye family secretly murdered that master and fled back to Jingzhou..."

Zhao Chengfeng adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and began to speak slowly.

After saying that, Zhao Chengfeng smiled wryly and said, "Of course, these are just hearsay, and their authenticity is unknown. But I want to remind President Qin that if this person really has character issues, he may have ulterior motives for joining the Qin family, so we must be wary!"

"...Are you sure the person you just mentioned is Ye Bai?" Qin Wanqing's expression turned strange.

Zhao Chengfeng nodded and said, "If the Ye family only has one adopted son, then it should be correct."

"Then I thank you for the reminder, Mr. Zhao. However, this is my family matter, and there is no need for outsiders to interfere."

"Instead of spending that time on your work, put more effort into making the Qin Group's performance reach new heights."

Qin Wanqing snorted, her face turning cold.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, you're busy then."

Zhao Chengfeng was not angry at Qin Wanqing's attitude. Instead, a faint smile appeared on his lips as he took his leave.

Whether Qin Wanqing believes these things or not is not important. What is important is that some seeds, once planted, will one day take root and sprout.

Especially since this Miss Qin was able to sit on the throne of the Queen of Jingzhou for several years, how could she possibly be as naive as a blank sheet of paper?

Suspicion is always a minimum requirement for those in high positions!

……

Ye Bai, as one of the parties involved, naturally had no idea that someone was trying to smear him.

No matter how mysterious the methods of the Xuanmen sect are, they cannot predict such a thing.

Even if he could figure it out, he wouldn't have time to care.

At this moment, Ye Bai's eyes were almost dazzled by the beautiful mobile phones inside the counter.

In the end, it was on Shen Lu's recommendation that I chose one.

Priced at 9888, it's the top-of-the-line domestic flagship model.

There are two reasons why I chose this one.

First, it's made in China; second, it's expensive enough.

For Ye Bai, whose nouveau riche temperament is becoming increasingly pronounced, as long as he has money to spend, he will never have any difficulty making choices.

Just buy the most expensive one, you can't go wrong with that.

With only a little over a hundred yuan left out of the ten thousand yuan, Ye Bai took Shen Lu to eat some spicy hot pot nearby, and the money was gone in an instant.

Fortunately, the sales clerk at the mobile phone store saw that Ye Bai was well-dressed and had a bodyguard with him, so he must be someone of high status.

So they not only helped me get a SIM card, but also gave me a 100 yuan prepaid credit, otherwise I would have spent it all at once.

"Young Master, where to next? Are we going to the antique shop again? That guy surnamed Feng still hasn't called..."

Shen Lu patted her belly, which was bulging from being so full, and looked at Ye Bai, asking a question.

Although she loves to eat and have fun, she always puts her mistress's affairs first.

That painting was far too important; it even concerned the young lady's future!

Unexpectedly, Ye Bai shook his head and said, "No need. As long as Feng Tianji knows what's going on, he will send the genuine article over himself."

To ordinary people or those who lack sufficient status in the Xuanmen (Taoist sects), Ye Bai might be nothing at all; they might not even have heard of his name.

However, among top figures in the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) like Feng Tianji, the name "Ye Bai" is generally more useful than "father".

With his pockets empty again, Ye Bai looked at the dazzling world around him, sighed helplessly, and could only take Shen Lu back to the Qin family manor.

Qin Wanqing returned on time for dinner.

Old Madam Qin was getting on in years and her health wasn't very good, so she basically didn't eat dinner. Thus, it was just Ye Bai and the other two.

Although Shen Lu was nominally a bodyguard, she was practically no different from the Qin family's adopted daughter, and naturally had the right to eat with them.

Of course, it was only the young lady and her son-in-law at the table; if there were any outsiders, Shen Lu would never sit at the table.

"You bragged to Lulu that the painting Zhu Daji stole was a fake, and that Mr. Feng would actually give you the real one?"

Qin Wanqing only drank a small half bowl of soup before she started to make things difficult for Ye Bai.

Without a doubt, Shen Lu, that little gossip, has already told Qin Wanqing everything.

"Yes what's the matter?"

While showing off the delicious caviar in front of him, Ye Bai gave a vague answer.

After living in the Qin family for a few days, Ye Bai no longer ate so much that his face was covered in oil, but he still ate ravenously, devouring food like a whirlwind.

There was no other way; he was truly terrified of hunger in the mountains and had long since developed the habit of eating quickly and filling his stomach whenever he encountered food.

"...You still have the nerve to admit it? Your words might fool a dim-witted little girl like Lulu, do you think I'd believe them?"

Looking at Ye Bai's self-righteous appearance, Qin Wanqing felt indignant.

Meanwhile, Shen Lu pouted, looking extremely annoyed.

You two are arguing, so why are you calling me brainless?

“I didn’t lie to her, it’s really true.”

Ye Bai ate most of the caviar by himself, and then started to eat the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup next to him.

"You idiot! Do you even know who Feng Tianji is? Not only is he an undisputed authority in the antique world of Jingzhou, but he's also a top figure in high society!"

"What makes you think you can call someone else's stuff a fake? And you even have the audacity to say that Boss Feng will soon hand over the real thing?"

Qin Wanqing was so angry that her chest heaved, and her beautiful eyes almost spit fire.

Ye Bai is always frivolous and loves to boast, but as long as it's not too outrageous, she can tolerate it.

But to dare to spout nonsense about such a serious matter truly crossed her bottom line.

Just as Qin Wanqing was about to continue her outburst, the Qin family's housekeeper suddenly rushed in.

"Miss, someone has brought in something, saying it's for you..."

As she spoke, the housekeeper placed a square box, more than a foot long, in front of Qin Wanqing.

"...What is this? Feng's Antique Shop?"

Qin Wanqing was taken aback at first, but after seeing the markings on the box, her pretty face changed instantly, her beautiful eyes widened, and she stood up in surprise.

"See, I told you so, it's been delivered!"

Ye Bai smiled slightly and devoured two more foie gras in one go...
