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

Shen Lu was raised by the Qin family from a young age; this is an indisputable fact.

Moreover, as far as Ye Bai knew, this little girl seemed to be an orphan, just like him.

But now a younger sister has suddenly appeared, which is hard not to be surprised.

But Ye Bai could clearly sense that Shen Zhu was not lying.

If you told these two girls weren't sisters, few people would believe it.

"Shen Zhu, don't talk nonsense. Ever since the Shen family sold me, I have had nothing to do with the Shen family!"

Shen Lu's face darkened, and she said angrily.

"Shen Lu, you really are a prime example of someone who forgets their ancestors! Even if the Shen family didn't raise you, without your parents giving birth to you, would you be able to enjoy the wealth and luxury of the Qin family?"

Shen Zhu was not to be outdone and retorted with a mocking expression.

"I don't have time to waste with your nonsense. You've said so much, aren't you just trying to extort some money? Tell me, how much do you want?"

Shen Lu puffed out her cheeks in anger, but she didn't resort to violence as she usually did.

From this perspective, it's clear that he still has feelings for his younger sister.

"One hundred thousand!"

Shen Zhu seemed to have been waiting for these words, and upon hearing them, she immediately gave a number.

"...Shen Zhu, are you out of your mind for money? This piece of junk of yours isn't even worth 100,000 yuan new!"

Shen Lu was so angry she almost jumped up. She really had the urge to rush back to her car and smash Shen Zhu's secondhand car into scrap metal.

Fortunately, she knew that it would be too expensive to repair her young lady's car, so she managed to hold back in the end.

"I'll give you a discount, 80,000 yuan it is. Let me tell you, that's the lowest I can go! Otherwise, I'll call the police and say that your Qin family is bullying us!"

While bargaining, Shen Zhu didn't forget to issue threats.

"Call the police. It's better to leave this kind of thing to professionals. Anyway, you can go through insurance."

Before Shen Lu could speak, Ye Bai walked over and said something.

After watching for a while, he finally understood.

Although Shen Zhu is fatter than Shen Lu, she is clearly smarter.

So from the very beginning, Shen Lu was drawn into the trap.

Judging from Shen Zhu's behavior, it does seem like she was trying to extort money, just as Shen Lu said.

If it were anything else, Ye Bai wouldn't care, out of respect for Shen Lu.

But when it comes to money, I'm embarrassed to say that.

Qin Wanqing wasn't here, and Ye Bai couldn't possibly let Shen Lu, that little girl, pay for it, so he had to pay out of his own pocket.

Trying to steal the little money he could freely spend from his pocket is an absolutely heinous crime!

So, just follow the normal procedures; it's just a common rear-end collision.

Settling things privately with money is fine, but paying out a large sum of money is just being a sucker.

"no!"

Sure enough, upon hearing Ye Bai's words, Shen Zhu's expression changed, and she subconsciously expressed her opposition.

There was no other way; if the police were really called, how could she possibly take advantage of Shen Lu, this brainless fat sheep?

She knew very well that although Shen Lu's position in the Qin family was only that of a bodyguard and driver, she was very much favored by Old Madam Qin and Qin Wanqing, and her salary was ridiculously high.

Unfortunately, this silly girl doesn't know how to spend money, so over the years, Shen Lu's savings have become incredibly rich.

Taking out 100,000 or 200,000 is no problem at all.

"I'll listen to my son-in-law."

Shen Lu's greatest strengths are her obedience and her self-awareness.

Knowing that their brains weren't working well, they listened to those who were.

"You don't have to call the police. I'll give you two thousand yuan, and then we'll each fix our own cars."

Ye Bai smiled slightly and then proposed another solution.

Because the car was not traveling fast, Shen Zhu's car was not seriously damaged; at most, the bumper would need to be replaced and some paint repaired.

A new car is only worth around 100,000 yuan. As long as you don't go to those shady dealerships, 1,000 yuan is enough to cover these expenses.

Ye Bai gave her an extra thousand because she was Shen Lu's sister.

Unfortunately, this amount of money was clearly not enough to satisfy Shen Zhu's appetite.

"Two thousand yuan? You think you can give me a beggar's money? Let me tell you, this isn't over until I get twenty thousand yuan!"

Shen Zhu rolled her eyes in anger and shook her head in refusal.

"Then let's call the police."

Ye Bai was too lazy to waste words with this little extortionist, so he directly asked Shen Lu to make a phone call.

"Do you think the traffic police station is your private property? The traffic police officers are so busy, how can you keep bothering them?"

Upon hearing the words "call the police," Shen Zhu immediately backed down.

After much haggling, the two sides finally agreed on a price.

Five thousand yuan to settle privately.

This was obtained by Shen Lu with pleading eyes. Originally, Ye Bai's plan was to stick to the two thousand and if that didn't work, to call the police and go through the proper procedures.

When dealing with people who like to extort money, this is the kind of approach you have to take to ensure they don't get a single penny out of it.

Otherwise, it will only embolden the other party and make them even more aggressive.

The reason there are so many bad people in the world is because good people always like to show kindness that is not actually necessary.

But with Shen Lu pleading on his behalf, Ye Bai naturally didn't bother to pursue the matter further.

He could tell that the girl had feelings for her parents and sister, and that the money was a way of giving it to them in disguise.

Because when it came time to pay, Shen Lu insisted on paying herself, and Ye Bai couldn't even snatch it from her.

“Shen Lu, Dad hasn’t been feeling well lately. If you still consider yourself a member of the Shen family, you’d better take some time to go back and visit him.”

Shen Zhu was naturally very dissatisfied with only getting five thousand yuan, and her face was dark when she left.

"What does his health have to do with me!"

Shen Lu snorted coldly, but the slight tremor in her body betrayed her true thoughts.

It's not so easy to completely erase things like family ties and blood relations.

The quality of the Qin family's Maybach is absolutely top-notch; not even the paint was scratched, so it doesn't affect its driving.

"Son-in-law, I'm so sorry to have made you laugh today..."

On the way, Shen Lu spoke softly, her eyes slightly red.

Ye Bai laughed and said, "Silly girl, what's so funny about that? Having family is a good thing. Look at me, how pure my 'loneliness' is, comparable to the legendary solitary man."

He was a true orphan, so naturally he knew better than anyone what it felt like to long for family and kinship.

However, the little girl was luckier than him. She came to the Shen family when she was young, and with Old Madam Qin and Qin Wanqing around, she never lacked family affection.

“You’re not alone, sir. You have a young lady now.”

Shen Lu's mood improved considerably after being amused by Ye Bai's somewhat amusing description, and she quickly emerged from her slump.

The carefree little girl is always much happier than others.

To avoid putting Shen Lu back into that unhappy state, Ye Bai didn't ask her what was going on between her and the Shen family.

This is, after all, a private family matter, and he doesn't need to pry into it.

Soon after, the television station finally arrived.

This time, neither of them stayed in the car; instead, they went upstairs together.

Ye Bai was dragged along by Shen Lu, because this little girl always thought that the TV station was very interesting and insisted that her son-in-law also have a good look at it.

Tong Yan's office was on the seventh floor. The two of them had just stepped out of the elevator when they happened to run into the beautiful host who was hurrying towards them.

"Hey? Ye Bai? You've come at the perfect time! Come with me quickly, do me a favor..."

Upon seeing the two, Tong Yan's beautiful eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Bai's arm.
