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

Although they are twins, Shen Lu and Shen Zhu have very different personalities.

In terms of intellect, Shen Zhu might be a bit stronger, but in terms of courage, she is far inferior.

Don't be fooled by her fierce and domineering demeanor when facing Ye Bai and Shen Lu. It was because she recognized Shen Lu and knew that the other party wouldn't really do anything to her.

Now, facing a group of loan sharks and thugs, her legs went weak.

After all, she had lived here since she was a child, and she had heard about the fearsome reputations of some people since she was a child.

The bald, tattooed man in front of us, known as "Brother Guang," is one of the "ruthless men" that the locals talk about.

Those who dare to provoke them are said to end up either in the hospital or in the crematorium.

Young girls like them are often sold directly overseas.

"Shen Zhu, you make it sound so easy. Do you even know how much money that is? Besides, he lost his mind and gambled away. Why should I pay his debts for him?"

Shen Lu's face turned red with anger. If it weren't for the fact that Shen Zhu was her younger sister, she would have liked to beat up this guy who was talking without any sense of responsibility.

That's a whole million!

Shen Lu does have that money in her account, but it's all money she's saved up over the years as her dowry.

Because the young lady always said that she was so stupid, she would definitely have a hard time getting married in the future, and only by preparing more dowry would she have a chance.

Of course, the Qin family couldn't have given Shen Lu only this much over the years, but the little girl has always been very sensible. During holidays, she would refuse any red envelopes or similar gifts that exceeded five figures.

Even her salary was always the lowest in the Qin family, an annual salary of 100,000.

Qin Wanqing wanted to raise her salary, but she absolutely refused.

If she hadn't been adopted by the Qin family, she would probably be starving or freezing to death in some remote corner by now. This is true gratitude for their upbringing.

Moreover, everything she ate, lived in, wore, and used was provided by the Qin family. She didn't usually have many expenses, so she saved it all up.

She could spend this money on the old lady, the young ladies and their sons, and even on Shen Zhu.

But using the money to pay off her nominal father's gambling debts is absolutely out of the question.

"But...but what if we're sold to Africa? I've heard there are cannibals there, and I have such delicate skin...waaaaah."

Shen Zhu couldn't help but cry, tears streaming down her face, looking weak and helpless.

"You deserved to be eaten! Who told you to be so fat!"

Shen Lu looked at him with disdain, disgusted that she had such a timid younger sister.

Ironically, Shen Zhu was quite capable, a typical bully at home.

"So what if I'm fat? That just means I have a good appetite! It's better than you being brainless!"

Upon hearing the word "fat," Shen Zhu instantly forgot her fear, became furious, and jumped up to retort.

"If I'm brainless, why would you ask me for help? If you're so capable, why don't you solve it yourself? I think I should just sell you to Africa; you could fetch a lot more money with that chubby little thing of yours!"

Shen Lu was not to be outdone and began to refute.

"...Enough! You two little brats, do you think I'm just some decoration?"

Upon seeing Shen Lu and Shen Zhu start arguing, Chen Daguang was so angry that his head turned black. He quickly and sternly reprimanded them, letting these two little girls know who was the boss.

"Shen Lu, why don't you give the Qin family a call? If they send someone over, this little thing can be resolved in no time..."

Startled by Chen Daguang, Shen Zhu couldn't bother arguing with Shen Lu anymore and whispered her suggestion.

Shen's father and the other neighbors were unaware of the Qin family's true background. After all, the level of the four great families was far too high for ordinary people.

All they knew was that the family was in business and quite wealthy.

As for how much money one has... for ordinary people, there's basically not much difference between having a few million and having tens of millions.

Anyway, they're all richer than them.

As for those who use "hundred million" as a unit of measurement, it's a completely different world for them.

But Shen Zhu is different. This girl is smarter than Shen Lu. Over the years, through various inquiries, she has learned that the Qin family, to which Shen Lu belongs, is the legendary number one wealthy family in Jingzhou!

That's why she could justifiably extort money from the other party, because tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan wouldn't even be enough for pocket money for the four major families of Jingzhou.

No matter how fierce or ruthless Chen Daguang and his ilk are, they are nothing but ants in front of a wealthy family, utterly insignificant.

If Shen Zhu hadn't suspected that Chen Daguang might not have even heard of the Qin family, she would have revealed her name long ago.

"No, we can't trouble Miss and Son-in-law with such trivial matters."

Unexpectedly, Shen Lu refused without hesitation.

Although both the young lady and the son-in-law treated her like a younger sister, Shen Lu wouldn't take advantage of their kindness and put herself in such a high position.

It's fine to act coquettishly normally, but to bother the young lady and son-in-law with such trivial matters, especially those that are embarrassing, is just too inappropriate.

"Damn it! You two little girls really won't learn your lesson until you're faced with death! Fine, you won't pay me back, huh? I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Seeing the Shen sisters start whispering to each other again, Chen Daguang completely lost his patience, cursed angrily, and waved his hand.

The henchmen behind him, who had been itching to get going, suddenly perked up and walked toward the Shen sisters with smirks.

Twin sisters have always held an indescribable allure for men.

Moreover, Shen Lu and Shen Zhu's appearances are far more outstanding than those of ordinary people.

"It's all over, Shen Lu, you've ruined me!!"

Upon seeing this, Shen Zhu let out a wail, her entire body almost collapsing to the ground.

"Let's see who dares to take action!"

Shen Lu rolled her eyes at Shen Zhu's pathetic behavior of being an amateur at external conflicts but an expert at internal conflicts, but she still stepped forward to protect her behind her.

He then whispered in Shen Zhu's ear, "If a fight breaks out, you'd better run first."

There were quite a few of them, at least seven or eight, and they might even be carrying weapons.

If a real fight breaks out, Shen Lu may not be afraid of her opponent, but she may not be able to protect Shen Zhu's safety.

"Oh ho, you little brat, you're planning to fight us? Don't you know who dares to challenge us in District 8?"

The thugs were taken aback at first, then burst into laughter so hard they could barely stand up straight.

Shen Lu is petite and slender, with a cute and innocent appearance. They estimated that one punch from her would be enough to make her cry for a month.

Just as a conflict between the two sides was about to erupt, a somewhat surprised voice suddenly came from the crowd of onlookers.

"In this day and age, how can anyone still dare to abduct women? Has the security situation in Jingzhou deteriorated to this extent?"

Following the sound, a young man squeezed in.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lu's big eyes lit up instantly, and she exclaimed with great surprise, "Young Master, what brings you here?"
