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

"Fifth Uncle? What brings you here?"

Qin Wanqing turned to look at the man, who was about forty years old, tall and handsome, but exuded a cold aura. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The reason she chose to bring Ye Bai this morning to figure out the feng shui layout of the Qin Group headquarters building was because the Qin family's top executives were all going to attend an important event.

In particular, Qin Shengtu, who was in charge of the feng shui layout of the headquarters building back then, is taking a flight this morning to the capital to discuss a cooperation.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shengtu rushed back from the airport.

There is no doubt that someone tipped off the other side.

This is normal, though; the Qin Group has long been riddled with factions.

Which high-ranking member of the Qin family didn't have a few spies planted among the employees?

"Hmph! If I hadn't rushed back, the headquarters building would have been torn down by outsiders!"

Qin Shengtu let out a cold laugh, his face dark and his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Fifth Uncle, that's going too far! Besides, Ye Bai is my husband, how come he's become an outsider in your eyes?"

"According to you, does that mean I, Qin Wanqing, have also become an outsider in your eyes, and only you are qualified to call yourselves the legitimate heirs of the Qin family?"

Qin Wanqing's pretty face turned cold, and she said indifferently.

Qin Shengtu, the fifth son of the Qin family, and Qin Shengfeng, the sixth son of the Qin family, also participated in the bet with Qin Yuezhu.

After all, with their combined strength, Qin Yuezhu and Zhao Jianqiang had absolutely no chance of acquiring the 41% stake held by Qin Wanqing.

But after losing the bet, Qin Shengtu and Qin Shengfeng did not hesitate to renege on their debt.

This made Qin Wanqing feel utterly disgusted with these people.

Qin Wanqing hesitated to completely break ties with them because she was worried that they might become desperate and cause trouble at Old Madam Qin's place.

But there's almost no chance of getting her to continue being polite to these so-called elders.

If what Ye Bai said back then was true, then the real culprit who caused her paralysis is very likely one of the Qin family members!

"Ye Bai, you just said that there's a problem with the feng shui layout of my Qin Group?"

Qin Wanqing's question was difficult to answer, so Qin Shengtu simply chose to ignore it and directly challenged Ye Bai.

"It's not just that it exists, but the problems are huge."

Ye Bai nodded, his expression calm.

Although Qin Shengtu's attitude was bad, it was not enough to provoke him.

Moreover, Ye Bai never considered himself a member of the Qin family from beginning to end.

He's just a hardworking employee, and the term "outsider" actually fits him quite well.

"Hehe, I really didn't realize that you, the adopted son of the Ye family, had such great abilities!"

Are you trying to tell me that you're also a feng shui master?

A look of disdain flashed in Qin Shengtu's eyes, and he began to mock him again.

Although he didn't think that the previous betting incident was a trap deliberately set by Ye Bai, he just thought that Qin Wanqing had gotten lucky. But that didn't stop him from hating this adopted son of the Ye family.

He's definitely a troublemaker and a jinx.

Therefore, he didn't even bother to maintain a facade of hypocrisy, and not sending anyone to retaliate was already the greatest restraint he could show.

"I am not a feng shui master."

Ye Bai shook his head.

Above the masters, there are grandmasters.

The next level up from Grandmaster is Celestial Master.

Ye Bai and his master are both at this level.

His master was the Old Celestial Master, so he was naturally the Little Celestial Master.

Compared to so-called masters, he is two levels above them.

Qin Shengtu had no idea about any of this and thought Ye Bai had backed down. He sneered, "At least you have some self-awareness."

Then, before Ye Bai could speak, Qin Shengtu looked at Qin Wanqing and said, "Wanqing, we are family. Are you really going to let someone who knows nothing interfere in such a crucial matter as the feng shui arrangement of my Qin Group?"

Then, Qin Shengtu continued, "If you really think there's a problem with the feng shui arrangement, we can hire another master at a high price. I heard that the expert from last time is in Jingzhou right now..."

Qin Shengtu went to great lengths to explain, but in short, it all boiled down to one core point.

We absolutely must not let Ye Bai touch the feng shui layout here.

To prevent Qin Wanqing and Ye Bai from causing trouble, Qin Shengtu even called his bodyguards and security personnel from the Qin Group headquarters.

“Alright, then I’ll do as Uncle Wu says. You can invite that feng shui master over.”

Qin Wanqing frowned slightly, then secretly winked at Ye Bai, agreeing.

"Wanqing, you've really grown up."

Qin Shengtu nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Ye Bai with icy eyes and sneered, "You'd better pray there's really a problem, otherwise I suspect you're trying to deliberately sabotage the feng shui arrangement of my Qin Group, and your intentions are despicable!"

After saying that, Qin Shengtu took out his phone, walked to the side, and made a call.

Qin Wanqing's expression changed slightly. She pulled Ye Bai to a corner and whispered, "I have a guess. The expert who arranged the feng shui for the headquarters building is the same person who arranged the feng shui for my study..."

Qin Shengtu was in charge of the feng shui layout of the Qin Group at the time, and Qin Wanqing did not meet the so-called feng shui master.

Moreover, at that time, she always believed that her fate was in her own hands, not in the hands of heaven, and she scoffed at all things related to fortune and feng shui.

It wasn't until Ye Baizhen cured her paralysis that she realized this mysterious thing wasn't as absurd as she had imagined.

"So you'll play along and verify it thoroughly."

Ye Bai suddenly realized.

At this moment, he finally understood why Qin Wanqing had agreed so readily.

As expected of the Queen of Qin, she was a first-rate master of intrigue and scheming.

But this is normal.

If Qin Wanqing didn't have this ability, she wouldn't have been able to take charge of the Qin Group after her father's death, or even become the Queen of Jingzhou!

Having a stunningly beautiful face alone is far from enough.

"So you're also a sixth child... Wait, why did I use the word 'also'?"

Just as Ye Bai was beginning to feel a sense of kinship, he realized that something seemed amiss.

"...Get lost! I'm not as cunning as you!"

Qin Wanqing glared at Ye Bai, then said, "You'd better be sure that the feng shui master really has a problem, otherwise you'll just give the Qin family's higher-ups another perfect excuse!"

Although her legs have now recovered, her actual situation has not improved much.

The Qin family's top management has always coveted the shares she holds and wants to completely remove her from the board of directors.

For wealthy families who have always valued fortune, feng shui arrangements are undoubtedly very important.

If she were falsely accused of trying to sabotage the Qin Group's fortunes, it would be even more detrimental to her chances of regaining the presidency.

"Don't worry, just trust me. In this respect, everyone else is a junior, and I'm the father."

Ye Bai chuckled, revealing a confident look that Qin Wanqing found nauseating.

"What kind of nonsense is this, this whole generational naming scheme..."

Qin Wanqing looked up and rubbed her forehead, feeling a sense of exhaustion.
