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

"Looks like there really is something going on! Come on, tell me quickly. Lulu, get some dried fruit."

Ye Bai's eyes lit up, and he started to greet people, adopting a gossip-loving attitude.

"Here it is, here it is, all your favorite dishes, young master..."

Shen Lu ran over excitedly, her face beaming with anticipation.

This little girl's favorite thing is listening to gossip, and because she disliked Yi Wenbo for having a sexually transmitted disease, she stayed in the car and didn't go in, feeling like she missed out on a fortune.

Now that they've discovered there's more gossip to hear, they're naturally very enthusiastic.

Although she grew up in the Qin family, she didn't know much about Tian Hongyu, the eldest son-in-law of the Qin family.

As far as she could remember, she had only seen him a few times.

But she knew that Old Madam Qin particularly disliked the other party.

She couldn't ask the young lady for more information, but since the young master had finally asked, she naturally wanted to take the opportunity to find out what was going on.

"...You two are just trying to annoy me!"

Looking at Ye Bai and Shen Lu sitting expectantly on the sofa, Qin Wanqing felt exhausted again.

Sipping tea and crunching dried fruit, they were really enjoying themselves immensely.

However, as time went on, Qin Wanqing's immunity to the annoying behavior of Ye Bai and Shen Lu was clearly increasing.

"Tian Hongyu is actually quite capable. He started as an ordinary teacher, but he was particularly good at flattery, and soon he was transferred to a government agency, where he thrived..."

Qin Wanqing drank a cup of tea and began to speak.

To Ye Bai's surprise, the eldest son-in-law of the Qin family was actually a "legendary" figure.

Born into poverty, he carved out his own niche through hard work and talent.

Unfortunately, for someone with wicked intentions, climbing to a high position is not necessarily a good thing.

Within a few years of joining the government agency, Tian Hongyu became a section chief, which was considered a certain status and position.

It was at that time that Tian Hongyu met Qin Yuemei, and subsequently began a relentless pursuit of her.

Given Qin Yuemei's low intelligence, she was unable to put up any decent resistance under Tian Hongyu's sweet talk and surrendered without even having to declare her surrender.

Not long after, Qin Yuemei took Tian Hongyu to meet her parents.

However, the moment Old Madam Qin met Tian Hongyu, she felt that this young man was two-faced and definitely not a good match for her.

As time went on, Old Madam Qin discovered that Tian Hongyu had an extraordinary level of concern for the Qin family, or rather, the Qin Group.

At the slightest sign of policy change, Tian Hongyu would jump around, trying to help the Qin Group gain more benefits.

Unfortunately, he never imagined that the Qin family was the undisputed number one wealthy family in Jingzhou.

Even a high-ranking figure like the Governor of Jingzhou held Old Madam Qin in high esteem.

Moreover, the Qin Group is a leading enterprise that is a landmark in Jingzhou. Whenever there are favorable policies, the Governor's Office will spare no effort to support it.

The things that a mere section chief could access were utterly useless to the Qin family.

Instead of helping, he made a lot of jokes.

But Tian Hongyu was thick-skinned enough not to feel embarrassed at all, and still meddle in everything whenever he could. He not only treated himself as a member of the Qin family, but also as if he were a member of the Qin Group's board of directors.

For Qin Yuemei's sake, Old Madam Qin's children were able to tolerate it, after all, they were her own siblings.

But the members of the group's board of directors were not going to tolerate him.

Those in power back then were not the people we have now.

As a result, discontent grew, and Old Madam Qin became increasingly displeased with this scheming approach, repeatedly urging Qin Yuemei to break up with Tian Hongyu.

But Qin Yuemei was completely bewitched and refused to do it no matter what.

Finally, the matriarch of Qin was so angry that she simply declared that Tian Hongyu was no longer allowed to appear at the Qin Family Manor or the Qin Group.

Just then, Tian Hongyu started causing trouble again.

They secretly got their marriage certificate without telling Old Madam Qin.

Not only that, he also got Qin Yuemei pregnant.

Without a doubt, this was a ruthless move.

Didn't your Qin family look down on me? Well then, I'll just get Qin Yuemei pregnant and make it a fait accompli, then let's see what you can do now!

It must be said that Tian Hongyu, as a section chief in the government office, is indeed quite skilled at understanding human nature.

They had already obtained their marriage certificate, and their daughter was pregnant. Even though Old Madam Qin was furious, she could only grit her teeth and accept the marriage in the end.

Tian Hongyu seemed to think he should change his strategy, and actually stopped coming to the Qin family and Qin Group.

Just when everyone thought that Qin's eldest son-in-law had some self-awareness, he actually caused an even bigger disaster.

Tian Hongyu has committed a crime: embezzlement, corruption, and abuse of power.

He was immediately dismissed from his public office and will never be rehired.

This was only possible because of the Qin family's connections; otherwise, he would have at least spent several years in prison.

Such a disgraceful act would be unbearable even in an ordinary family, let alone in a wealthy family like the Qin family!

Old Madam Qin was so angry she almost vomited blood. She ordered Qin Yuemei to be forcibly brought back, forcing the two to divorce and sever all ties.

But Qin Yuemei still refused to do it and even took the opportunity to escape, and started living with Tian Hongyu again.

Judging from her demeanor, even if Tian Hongyu committed murder and broke the law, Qin Yuemei would still stay by his side.

A year later, Qin Yuemei gave birth to a daughter, Tian Yurou, and brought her back to the Qin family.

Together with Tian Hongyu, the family of three knelt before Old Madam Qin and begged and pleaded.

Looking at her granddaughter who was only a month old, the old lady softened her heart and eventually allowed Qin Yuemei's family to move back into the Qin family manor.

Not only that, but they also arranged for Tian Hongyu to work at the Qin Group.

After all, Qin Yuemei and her daughter need money to make ends meet, and the family needs some income.

Moreover, although Tian Hongyu's character is flawed, his abilities are absolutely unquestionable.

If he truly reforms, he will become a talented individual.

This decision, however, brought even greater trouble to the Qin family!

Instead of turning over a new leaf, Tian Hongyu became even more outrageous.

During his ten years at the Qin Group, this guy relied on his experience in the officialdom to thrive, eventually climbing to the position of vice president and almost becoming a member of the board of directors!

Until that day, Tian Hongyu's embezzlement of public funds was exposed!

The amount involved is as high as 800 million!

What's most unexpected is that, despite such a major incident, many members of the Qin Group's board of directors still wanted to protect Tian Hongyu.

This means that many people have been won over and bribed by him, and have colluded with him!

Enraged, Old Madam Qin had no choice but to personally intervene and reorganize the Qin Group, resulting in significant changes to the shareholding structure, which resolved the crisis.

However, at the same time, the Qin Group was also severely damaged, and it was not until Qin Wanqing took power that it slowly recovered.

It was precisely because of this incident that Old Madam Qin completely expelled Tian Hongyu from the Qin family, never allowing him to set foot in again, and Qin Yuemei and her daughter rarely returned.

"...Your uncle-in-law has two sides! Could it be that after all these years of lying low, he still has his eyes on the Qin Group?"

After listening to Qin Wanqing finish speaking, Ye Bai said thoughtfully.
