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

"Huh? How come Young Master Xiu Zhao has a picture of that little vixen here? Oh, could it be that the two of them are related?"

Shen Lu also noticed Ye Bai's unusual behavior. After taking a closer look, she covered her mouth and let out a soft gasp.

"Who knows."

Ye Bai shook his head, withdrew his gaze, and continued to survey Qin Xiuzhao's office.

Unfortunately, nothing else of value was found.

There is absolutely no trace of the black-robed Taoist priest here.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Unless Qin Xiuzhao is out of his mind, he wouldn't leave clues about his collusion with the black-robed Taoist in his office.

"Mr. Ye, if I remember correctly, you don't work at the Qin Group, right?"

"If that's the case, what are you trying to do by going into the office of a middle-level manager without permission?"

Just as Ye Bai and Shen Lu were about to leave, a cold laugh suddenly came from the doorway.

It was Zhao Chengfeng, who was looking at them with a cold gaze.

"You, surnamed Zhao..."

Shen Lu was furious. Even with her small brain, she realized that Zhao Chengfeng was trying to smear her son-in-law.

However, before she could lose her temper, Ye Bai waved his hand to stop her.

"Oh, it's Director Zhao. That's a good question. I'll ask you two questions too."

"First question, is the Qin Group owned by the Qin family?"

Ye Bai smiled slightly and looked at Zhao Chengfeng, asking in return.

"Mr. Ye, aren't you asking a pointless question? If it's not from the Qin family, is it from the Ye family?"

Zhao Chengfeng's eyes were full of mockery. He often felt that this adopted son of the Ye family was indeed mentally unstable.

But it is precisely because of this that he has a crazy impulse to go crazy because he is repeatedly humiliated by the other party.

How dare someone whose intelligence is completely outmatched by me ride on my head?

"Very good, now let's move on to the second question."

Ye Bai ignored Zhao Chengfeng's sarcasm and said leisurely, "Then am I the Qin family's son-in-law? Qin Wanqing's husband?"

Zhao Chengfeng snorted coldly, his face turning ugly.

He had reason to suspect that Ye Bai was deliberately rubbing salt into his wounds.

Within the entire Qin Group, there are probably very few people who don't know his feelings for Qin Wanqing.

The key point is, you're just a scapegoat sent by the Ye family to be married off in place of someone else. You might be cursed to death someday. What's there to brag about?

"Very good, it seems you've acknowledged this issue as well. Now, here's the third question."

"Since this is the Qin Group of the Qin family, and I am the rightful son-in-law of the Qin family, it's none of your business which office I go to."

Ye Bai grinned, revealing a mouthful of bright white teeth.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chengfeng's body stiffened abruptly, and he was utterly unable to refute it.

What annoyed him most was that Ye Bai used his status as the son-in-law of the Qin family to pressure him, because no matter how high his position was in the Qin Group, he was essentially just an employee.

The Qin family are the real bosses.

Even if Ye Bai, this guy who lives off his girlfriend, is shameless, he can still be considered one of the bosses.

Most importantly, through these attempts, he discovered that although Qin Wanqing had no feelings for this adopted son of the Ye family, she still accepted the marriage contract because of her traditional and conservative personality.

Therefore, in front of outsiders, Qin Wanqing would always stand on Ye Bai's side without hesitation.

So at this moment, no matter how frustrated Zhao Chengfeng was, he could only swallow his anger and keep quiet.

"Considering that you've been somewhat useful over the years, let me give you one last piece of advice."

"Stop having those inappropriate thoughts, and don't provoke me anymore. If I can get Yang Renxiao to beat you up once, I can get him to beat you up a second time."

"Moreover, I guarantee that each beating will be more intense than the last. If you really enjoy that feeling, I can satisfy you."

Ye Bai smiled, patted Zhao Chengfeng on the shoulder, and left.

Shen Lu, looking both cute and fierce, waved her little fist at Zhao Chengfeng and quickly followed.

"Ye Bai! You're forcing me!"

Zhao Chengfeng roared angrily, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.

But the stinging pain still couldn't suppress the hatred in my heart!

Although his background was not prestigious from childhood, and even a source of shame in some respects, Zhao Chengfeng always felt that he was no less capable or talented than anyone else.

Even among her peers, she was the most outstanding one!

Even those so-called scions of wealthy families pale in comparison to him.

Regardless of his background, he alone could easily defeat a whole group of wealthy scions.

His experiences over the years have proven that his ideas are by no means arrogant.

Given a platform to showcase his abilities, he can achieve things that are difficult for others to match.

Unexpectedly, after encountering the Ye family's adopted son, who was ignorant and incompetent, he was at a disadvantage in every confrontation.

For someone as proud and arrogant as him, this was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation of his life!

Not to mention, the other party also stole the goddess in his heart!

In a sense, this is nothing short of a vengeance for having one's wife stolen!

After taking deep breaths for several minutes, Zhao Chengfeng finally calmed down, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

"Tell Mr. Nangong that I agree to his conditions!"

……

"Son-in-law, why didn't you just beat that Zhao guy up? Just threatening him with words wasn't enough!"

Shen Lu followed behind Ye Bai, asking somewhat dejectedly.

She used to have a pretty good impression of Zhao Chengfeng; not only was he outstanding in ability, but most importantly, he was also quite handsome.

His refined and scholarly demeanor is particularly endearing.

At that time, Shen Lu thought that having Zhao Chengfeng as the young lady's son-in-law seemed like a pretty good idea.

When Ye Bai arrived unexpectedly and told her that Zhao Chengfeng was actually a hypocritical and vicious pretty boy, Shen Lu didn't believe it at first. She thought that her son-in-law was just jealous and that's why he was talking badly about him behind his back.

But as time went on, Shen Lu gradually realized that her son-in-law was absolutely right.

Zhao Chengfeng is indeed a person with serious character flaws.

So what was once goodwill, or even a hint of admiration, has now turned into intense disgust.

"Oh well, what can I do? I'm a peace-loving man who doesn't like violence!"

Ye Bai sighed, thinking that if it weren't for his young lady always saying that this Zhao fellow was still useful, he would have sent him away long ago with a big shovel.

"Son-in-law, I think we could wear masks and prepare a burlap sack or something..."

Shen Lu's limited intelligence was clearly focused on fighting, resulting in all sorts of bad ideas.

Back in Qin Wanqing's office, Ye Bai first brewed a pot of tea, and while drinking it, asked, "What is the relationship between Qin Xiuzhao and Han Mengmeng?"

Qin Wanqing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then said with a half-smile, "What? Are you jealous?"
