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

"You're going to give this resort to Wanqing?"

Old Madam Qin was somewhat surprised. This was no small sum of money. The fixed assets of Mingtai Resort alone were estimated to be worth more than 20 million.

Because it is still operating normally, once you get your hands on it, you don't need to invest anything at all, and you can generate amazing profits every day.

This is equivalent to a hen that lays golden eggs. While it might not make everyone envious, very few people would be willing to give it away to someone else.

The Ye family was only willing to give it away because they had no other choice; it had nothing to do with generosity.

Even every time they think about it, the Ye family members probably feel like their hearts are bleeding.

But Ye Bai gave it away to someone else without hesitation. This was the first time Old Madam Qin had ever met such a generous young man in all her decades of life.

"If Grandma can give it to me, then I can give it to Wanqing too. Besides, we're all family, so it makes no difference whether I give it to her or to me."

Ye Bai smiled and nodded in confirmation.

It's not just about him being afraid to accept gifts from others; more importantly, it involves a principle.

The Ye family presented the Mingtai Resort as a gift to the Qin family, ostensibly as a betrothal gift.

Since that's the case, if Old Madam Qin doesn't want it, the only person qualified to take it is Qin Wanqing.

Although Ye Bai was greedy, he always acquired wealth in a righteous way.

He would never covet what is not his own.

"That's true, there's no need for you two to be so particular about things."

Old Madam Qin laughed, increasingly convinced that she hadn't misjudged him.

As time went on, more and more of the shining qualities and strengths of this grandson-in-law became apparent.

That evening, when Qin Wanqing returned home from get off work, the first thing she did upon seeing Ye Bai was to ask with a frosty expression, "You had Lulu call the police to have Ye Xuanyuan arrested, was your purpose to use Grandma to gain benefits from the Ye family?"

Ye Bai was taken aback and said, "Qin Wanqing, isn't it a bit strange that you're pinning this on me? In your eyes, am I the kind of person who would do anything for profit?"

The reason he chose to call the police instead of taking matters into his own hands was that he didn't want to get involved in the messy affairs of wealthy families.

He hadn't anticipated that Ye Wentian and his wife would come to Qin Laotai for help.

He still knew too little about the powerful families in Jingzhou.

So, apart from calling the police, he had nothing to do with the whole thing.

But Qin Wanqing immediately accused him of wanting to profit from it, and although Ye Bai remained calm, he was still somewhat displeased.

"Heh, you still won't admit it? I heard that the Ye family prepared two big gifts to save Ye Xuanyuan. One was for the Zhu family, and the other was for the Qin family!"

"And barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Qin family's share will ultimately fall into your hands!"

"You dare say the Ye family didn't send anything? Ye, I never expected you to be this kind of person!"

Qin Wanqing's gaze was icy, and she felt a pang of disappointment.

She could accept Ye Bai's minor flaws, such as being greedy, lustful, gluttonous, and lazy, because no one is perfect.

However, by using intrigue and trickery to exploit the Qin family as a tool for profit, she crossed her bottom line.

When Qin Wanqing heard Zhao Chengfeng mention this at the group headquarters, she didn't believe it, thinking that Ye Bai wasn't that kind of person.

But after returning home, Qin Wanqing heard that Ye Wentian and his wife had come in the morning, and Yang Guangyao had come again in the afternoon. She then realized that the Ye family had indeed come to ask the Qin family for help, just as Zhao Chengfeng had said.

Especially the time Yang Guangyao came, it was probably to bring gifts.

There were some things that Ye Wentian and his wife felt uncomfortable doing themselves due to their status, so it was most appropriate to go through Yang Guangyao.

This undoubtedly proves that Zhao Chengfeng did not lie to her.

Having formed a preconceived notion, Qin Wanqing naturally believed that what Zhao Chengfeng said was true.

"The Ye family did indeed send something over."

Ye Bai nodded; this was undeniable.

"Very good! You're at least a man, at least you dare to take responsibility for your actions!"

Qin Wanqing's eyes grew even colder. Just as she was about to continue mocking Ye Bai, Old Madam Qin, supported by Feng Gu, came out from the inner room.

"Wanqing is back just in time. Here, take this. It's a gift from Xiaobai."

The old lady didn't hear the conversation between Qin Wanqing and Ye Bai. Instead, she walked over with a smile and handed Qin Wanqing the transfer agreement for Mingtai Resort.

"This...this is the grand gift the Ye family sent?"

Qin Wanqing glanced at it a few times, then opened her mouth wide enough to fit a thick sausage.

Her pretty face was filled with shock, and she was completely dumbfounded.

"This is a belated gift from the Ye family. I originally wanted to give it to Xiaobai, but he refused and insisted on giving it to you. Grandma felt that you two didn't need to be so distant, so she agreed..."

Grandma Qin explained with a smile, and then invited everyone to dinner.

Because she was in a good mood and her health had almost fully recovered, the old lady had a rare opportunity to have dinner with everyone today.

"Qin Wanqing, what kind of person am I?"

Ye Bai leaned close to Qin Wanqing's ear and asked with a pout.

"I……"

Qin Wanqing's pretty face turned bright red, and at this moment she even had the urge to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Even though she has been a seasoned businesswoman for many years and has experienced a lot, she has never made such a big blunder.

Ye Bai left the gift for her, and she's still here pointing fingers at him and making a fuss. It's really unfair of her.

What shocked her even more was that it wasn't a gift worth a few thousand or tens of thousands, but a resort worth over twenty million!

Ye Bai gave it to her without even blinking. Such generosity is something even the most elite scions of wealthy families in Jingzhou couldn't do.

Even her three biggest admirers, just to please her, would never give her such a lavish gift.

Anyone who does this is either genuinely indifferent to money, or a complete idiot.

Which category does Ye Bai belong to?

Qin Wanqing thought she had begun to understand Ye Bai, but now she realized that her knowledge of this adopted son of the Ye family was still only superficial.

"By the way, who told you those things before?"

Knowing that Qin Wanqing was shy and would find it difficult to admit her mistake, Ye Bai did not press the matter further, but instead asked the most crucial question.

"It's Zhao Chengfeng..."

Qin Wanqing took a deep breath and said coldly, "Don't worry, I will handle this matter!"

Believing slander led her to misunderstand Ye Bai, which made her feel guilty and naturally made her even more dissatisfied with Zhao Chengfeng.

Although the other party's abilities are indispensable to her at present, she still needs to be given a proper warning.

In other words, Zhao Chengfeng has always been loyal to her and has a deep connection with the Qin family.

Otherwise, if it were anyone else, she would have fired them long ago.

"Looks like this pretty boy wasn't hurt badly enough last time!"

A cold glint flashed in Ye Bai's eyes as he realized he had been too merciful.

A beating won't do any good for someone who likes to gossip behind people's backs; you have to make sure they have nothing left to gossip about.

"By the way, could this be the betrothal gift you promised me?"

Qin Wanqing suddenly asked.

"No."

Ye Bai shook his head and said, "However, the betrothal gifts I promised you should arrive soon."

"Really?"

A hint of curiosity flickered in Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes.

However, her pretty face quickly changed, and she patted her head, saying, "I almost forgot the important thing. There was an unexpected problem with the remaining two medicinal herbs. Can we use other ones instead?"
