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

As a high-ranking member of the Qin family and a highly educated individual, Qin Yuezhu certainly couldn't be completely brainless.

Ye Bai's childish provocations would have been ignored by her in any other situation.

But matters between men and women immediately seized her weakness.

The saying goes that one is like a wolf at thirty and a tiger at forty, and Qin Yuezhu's age is precisely when her needs are at their peak.

But Zhao Jianqiang was short and weak, which was one thing, she could barely tolerate.

But in the past year, there haven't even been any.

At least I used to be able to submit my assignments twice a month on time, but now I might not even submit them once every three months.

When asked, the answer was always the same: they were getting old and their physical strength and energy couldn't keep up anymore.

Qin Yuezhu initially thought that Zhao Jianqiang had a health problem, so she took him to see several famous traditional Chinese medicine doctors and got a lot of prescriptions.

But after eating, Zhao Jianqiang showed no improvement whatsoever, and even started making excuses not to go home every few days.

This made Qin Yuezhu gradually suspect that Zhao Jianqiang might be keeping a mistress on the side.

However, without substantial evidence, it can only remain at the stage of suspicion.

However, over time, the resentment grew stronger and stronger, and it had long since become a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

As it turned out, Ye Bai threw a spark at us today, and it erupted completely.

"My third aunt has such a fiery temper!"

Ye Bai witnessed this scene and was filled with emotion.

Then the elevator arrived, and he quickly went inside and left.

When he first met Zhao Jianqiang, he could tell from his appearance that the man was lewd and indulged in excessive sexual activity.

In contrast, Qin Yuezhu suffered from an imbalance of yin and yang, resulting in a prolonged drought.

Without a doubt, Zhao Jianqiang's hard work was all used for others.

He never bothered to talk much about such private matters between husband and wife.

But these two had to provoke him of all people, so Ye Bai had no choice but to play the honest good guy this time.

As for the consequences... I don't care.

……

"Young Master, the Second Miss is a difficult person to please; she has a terrible temper. But she and the Young Master have a very good relationship. You'll have to be patient with her later..."

On the way to Jingzhou University, Shen Lu cautiously reminded him.

"Hehe, it's nothing, I expected it."

Ye Bai smiled faintly, not taking it to heart.

There's a saying that goes, "like father, like son." Since Qin Wanqing and Qin Shuang are from the same father, their tempers are bound to be just as bad.

In addition, Qin Shuang is still young and in school, so she is bound to be even more spoiled. It would be a shame if she didn't act spoiled and willful.

"By the way, young master, you and Miss are going to Madam's for dinner tonight, I can't go with you, please be careful..."

Shen Lu remembered something else and became even more worried.

Unless it's something very important, the second wife of the Qin family never leaves her villa.

The meals were all prepared by a chef specially hired by the Qin family, who cooked vegetarian dishes.

And tonight's dinner will naturally be no exception; we can only eat at the Second Madam's place.

However, the second wife never allowed other people's bodyguards or nannies to enter her villa.

Just because Old Madam Qin and Qin Wanqing treat Shen Lu as family doesn't mean that the rest of the Qin family members do the same.

So Shen Lu definitely won't be able to come along tonight.

In the past, this wouldn't have been a big deal.

It's just a meal; there's no way anything dangerous could happen.

However, the origins of that group of mysterious black-robed Taoist priests who arrived a couple of days ago have not yet been determined.

They couldn't even be sure if the other person had left or not.

If these guys really have ulterior motives, then we'll be in trouble.

"It's alright, they're all inside the Qin family manor, nothing will go wrong."

Ye Bai smiled and comforted him.

Actually, he was hoping something would go wrong, as that would save him a lot of effort.

If those people are truly scoundrels of the Xuanmen sect, once he captures them, he will naturally be able to figure out what their true intentions are.

At least, we can confirm whether they were the ones who tampered with Qin Wanqing's destiny.

However, Ye Bai estimated that he wouldn't be able to reach her.

The second wife wasn't stupid; since she had invited them over for dinner, how could she possibly let those people stay?

She probably didn't care whether Qin Wanqing lived or died; she was just a stepdaughter with no blood relation to her.

But it's impossible for her not to care about Qin Shuang's safety; she's her own daughter.

Soon, the car arrived at the territory of Kyoto University.

Looking at this top university in Jingzhou and even the whole country, Ye Bai's eyes also showed curiosity, and he watched with great interest.

"Son-in-law, which school did you graduate from?"

Shen Lu deliberately slowed down the car, and then said somewhat dejectedly, "I'm not smart, I didn't do well in school, and I only went to high school before dropping out."

Ye Bai laughed and said, "That's not bad either, at least you're much better than me."

Shen Lu's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. "Young Master, don't tell me you only graduated from junior high school..."

Ye Bai shook his head and said calmly, "I've never been to school."

After the Ye family adopted him from the orphanage, they had no intention of sending him to school.

He was then sent to the mountains, and ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

He had never set foot in a school, of course.

"what……"

Shen Lu's mouth formed an "O" shape; she was completely dumbfounded.

"What nonsense! A diploma is not the same as culture. Look at your young lady, she has a high level of education, but she's actually illiterate."

Ye Bai pursed his lips, showing no sadness whatsoever.

The things the old master taught him were things you couldn't learn in school.

In this respect, he was much luckier than those students.

No matter how well you study, the ultimate goal is nothing more than to stand out from the crowd.

Power, money, and beautiful women... it's all the same old three things.

But he already had it.

Being able to earn some money for myself right now is more important than anything else.

"Miss is not illiterate, she is a top student! Young master, you're talking nonsense!"

Shen Lu began to stand up for Qin Wanqing.

"Hehe, then let your young lady read the books in my room. If she can recognize ten characters correctly, I'll admit defeat."

Ye Bai laughed.

“Read it! I can recognize more than ten characters myself, let alone you, Miss!”

Shen Lu pouted, becoming even more unconvinced.

As the two bickered, Shen Lu drove the car into the campus of Jingzhou University.

Such institutions of higher learning naturally do not allow outside vehicles to enter at will, but in Jingzhou, there are few places where the Qin family's vehicles cannot enter.

Kyoto University is no exception.

Shen Lu simply made a phone call, and the security captain at the entrance rushed out to greet her.

Not only did they open the door, but they also kept saluting, showing the utmost respect.

Soon, Ye Bai saw the second young lady of the Qin family, Qin Shuang.

She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, youthful and beautiful, with looks comparable to Qin Wanqing, only a bit immature.

Yet she was arrogant and harbored a deep hostility towards Ye Bai.

"You're Ye Bai? I'm warning you, don't even think about making a move on my sister!"

"You're like a toad trying to eat swan meat—there's absolutely no chance!"

"If you know what's good for you, get out of the Qin family right now, or I guarantee your fate will be extremely miserable!"

Qin Shuang, like a beautiful little white swan, raised her chin and spoke without any politeness.
