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

"Ye Bai? You... how did you get here?"

A gasp rang out, and Qin Yuemei suddenly stood up from the sofa, looking as if she had seen a ghost.

"Auntie, what are you saying? Don't you have any idea why I came here?"

Ye Bai grinned, no longer bothering to be polite with the other party.

"What...what nonsense are you spouting? I...how could I possibly know!"

Qin Yuemei avoided eye contact and stammered.

Ye Bai was too lazy to talk to this hypocritical woman and turned to look at the other people in the room.

Tian Yurou was standing next to Qin Yuemei, wiping away tears, looking like a resentful, abandoned wife.

When she first saw Ye Bai and Shen Lu, she was quite happy, clearly feeling that her family had come to help.

But she quickly remembered the awful things the mother and daughter had done, and her pretty face turned pale.

She didn't know when Ye Bai arrived or whether he had heard their conversation, but she couldn't help feeling guilty.

If Qin Wanqing or Old Madam Qin finds out that they have interfered with the medicinal materials, the fate awaiting them is predictable.

Besides Qin Yuemei and her daughter, there was a young man leaning against the window, who was clearly Yi Wenbo.

He is about the same age as Tian Yurou, and is very handsome and sunny. He is tall and well-proportioned, and indeed fits the standard of a young heartthrob.

However, there was a hint of evil in this person's eyes, clearly indicating that he was a person with wicked intentions.

To Ye Bai's surprise, there were only these three people in the office; the legendary Manager Fang Yishuo was not present.

"Are you from the Qin family?"

After glancing at Ye Bai a few times, Yi Wenbo asked with great interest.

"His name is Ye Bai, he's my cousin's husband..."

Tian Yurou whispered a reminder to Yi Wenbo.

Clearly, although this cousin-in-law was heartbroken by Yi Wenbo's infidelity, she still had feelings for him.

"Hehe, who do we have here? It's that adopted son of the Ye family! What brings you here?"

A look of disdain flashed across Yi Wenbo's face. He didn't even respect Qin Yuemei, a member of the Qin family with impeccable lineage, let alone Ye Bai, the son-in-law of the Qin family.

With Fang Yishuo and Guangmang Pharmaceutical's backing, there are very few people in Jingzhou he can't afford to offend.

At least, not including the people in front of us.

"Yi Wenbo, how can you talk like that? Mr. Ye is my friend!"

Manager Tao, who came in with him, reprimanded in a stern voice.

He already disliked this sycophantic pretty boy, not to mention that Ye Bai had the connection of Qi Bowen behind him.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Yi Wenbo is not Fang Yishuo, and is far from being someone that Manager Tao would be wary of.

"Oh, so you're Manager Tao's friend. My apologies for not recognizing you here. But this doesn't seem to be the logistics department, so... what's the matter?"

Yi Wenbo chuckled, completely disregarding Manager Tao.

"Yi Wenbo, you..."

Manager Tao was so angry that his face turned red. Just as he was about to explode, Ye Bai suddenly looked at Yi Wenbo and said, "Are you so arrogant and domineering because you're sick?"

Hearing Ye Bai's incoherent words, Manager Tao, Qin Yuemei, and the others were all confused, thinking that Ye Bai was just angry and cursing.

To their surprise, Yi Wenbo reacted extremely strongly.

Suddenly jolted awake, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply, "What do you mean?"

"Hehe, so you do have things you're afraid of."

Ye Bai smiled slightly, took a few steps forward, and whispered a few words to Yi Wenbo.

Because of the distance, the others couldn't hear what Ye Bai said.

But it was clear that after hearing those words, Yi Wenbo's face had lost all color, his eyes were filled with terror, and his body seemed to be trembling uncontrollably.

He was nowhere near as arrogant as before; instead, he looked so scared he was about to wet his pants.

"Remember, if you want me to keep this a secret, hurry up and send me the two medicinal herbs that the Qin family needs."

"Of course, you can refuse. I'll give you time to consider it."

Ye Bai's smile grew even brighter. He wanted to reach out and pat Yi Wenbo on the shoulder, but then he remembered something and quickly withdrew his hand.

Ye Bai didn't say much after that. He turned around, nodded to Manager Tao, and said, "Manager Tao, thank you for your help today. I'll treat you to tea next time."

After saying that, Ye Bai called Shen Lu and left just like that, without any hesitation.

As for Qin Yuemei and her daughter Tian Yurou, Ye Bai seemed to have completely ignored them, not even bothering to glance at them.

"Young master, young master, what exactly happened? What did you say to that pretty boy? Why did he suddenly become so obedient?"

As they walked out of the office building of Guangmang Pharmaceutical Company, Shen Lu couldn't help but blink her big eyes and shake Ye Bai's arm to ask.

"What? Didn't I say back then? He's sick."

Ye Bai replied, somewhat puzzled.

"what……"

Shen Lu opened her mouth wide, looking completely bewildered.

"That Yi Wenbo has a disease he doesn't want others to know about. Um, it's that kind of dirty disease, and it's the kind that's very difficult to cure."

"I suspect that Manager Fang Yishuo must not know about this either, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten involved with him."

"In that case, Yi Wenbo's biggest worry must be that the other party finds out..."

Ye Bai was speechless for a moment, knowing that the little girl still didn't understand, so he patiently explained.

Even the most hidden illness cannot escape the eyes of a skilled doctor.

However, Yi Wenbo himself was not a good person, and his private life must have been very messy, so it is not surprising that he contracted this disease.

"Ugh, it's filthy! You were right, son-in-law, all pretty boys are no good!"

Shen Lu finally understood what was going on, her pretty face instantly turned bright red, and she spat out a curse.

"Mr. Ye..."

Just as Ye Bai and Shen Lu were about to get into the car and leave, a shout suddenly came from behind them.

The two turned around and saw that it was Yi Wenbo running towards them, panting and carrying a bag.

"Mr. Ye, please forgive me for my previous offenses. I was misled and persuaded Manager Fang not to sell the medicine to Miss Qin..."

Yi Wenbo bowed and scraped with a smile, a stark contrast to his previous arrogance.

"It's alright, ignorance is no excuse."

Ye Bai took the bag, opened it, and saw that it contained the two missing medicinal herbs.

Moreover, to show his sincerity, the two medicinal herbs that Yi Wenbo sent were of much higher quality and age than the ones that Ye Bai had Qin Wanqing buy before.

This pleased Ye Bai greatly. As for the mess between the other party and Qin Yuemei and her daughter, he couldn't be bothered to care.

"Then please examine my illness..."

Yi Wenbo breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone about this. But you should still get treatment as soon as possible. With the current level of medical technology, it's not as difficult to treat as you think."

Ye Bai smiled. He had originally wanted to remind Yi Wenbo about Qin Yuemei and her daughter buying raw aconite, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

When dogs fight, just watch the show from the sidelines; keeping silent is the greatest respect you can show.
