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

After receiving the call, Ding Shuai agreed without hesitation.

He also told Ye Bai that this little matter was not worth mentioning and that he guaranteed to handle it completely.

Ye Bai sensed a strong stench of blood in these words, so he quickly reminded the other party to try not to cause any deaths.

In a society governed by the rule of law, one cannot act with the same impunity as one might in the mountains.

Ding Shuai patted his chest loudly to reassure Ye Bai that he hadn't had enough of this extravagant life surrounded by beautiful women, and how could he possibly end up as a wanted criminal?

Ye Bai didn't bother to worry about it anymore. Although Ding Shuai seemed carefree and irresponsible at times, he was still very trustworthy when it came to serious matters.

Finally, Ding Shuai asked Ye Bai with a sly smile when he could bring Qin Wanqing out to meet him. Since they were all family now, he, as the brother, should treat his sister-in-law to a meal.

Ye Bai knew very well that this guy was just being gossipy and wanted to experience the legendary charm of the Queen of Jingzhou, so he simply refused outright.

That's my wife, why should I let you see her?

As for the fact that Queen Qin might not cooperate with him meeting with his brother, that's something that absolutely cannot be said truthfully.

After chatting with Ding Shuai for a while, Shen Lu suddenly ran over, saying that dinner was already prepared and that Ye Bai should go eat.

"Xiaobai, how did your talk with Yu Rou's fiancé go?"

Having just recovered from a serious illness, Old Madam Qin has had a good appetite these past two days, so she has come over for dinner as well.

Of course, the old lady eats very little at her age, mainly enjoying the feeling of eating with her granddaughter and grandson-in-law.

A happy family reunion is the scene that elderly people most want to see.

Although she disliked Tian Hongyu and Qin Yuemei, Old Madam Qin clearly cared about her granddaughter, Tian Yurou.

"The conversation didn't go well; it seems the other person is determined to break up."

Ye Bai shook his head.

Actually, he could use medical treatment as leverage to force Yi Wenbo and Tian Yurou to reconcile.

But he simply couldn't bring himself to do something so tasteless.

Especially after learning about the actions of Tian Hongyu's family from Yi Wenbo, Ye Bai was even less likely to aid and abet them.

Qin Yuemei bought raw aconite to poison Yi Wenbo so she could control him, while Tian Hongyu set a trap to make him contract a sexually transmitted disease.

Tian Yurou, who seems the most innocent, is also no saint; she secretly cheated on her fiancé, and not just once, but many times...

This family is beyond describable, even the word "extreme" doesn't do them justice.

Ye Bai's decision to help them was simply a sign of utter stupidity.

Out of consideration for Old Madam Qin, he had already done more than enough by inviting Yi Wenbo out for a talk.

The only pity is that he didn't dare tell the old lady those things for fear of upsetting her.

"It's okay. These kinds of emotional matters are not for outsiders to interfere with. Besides, heartbreak isn't necessarily a bad thing; it's always a part of growing up."

Old Madam Qin sighed and instead comforted Ye Bai.

Afterwards, Old Madam Qin stopped bringing up the topic and said with a smile, "By the way, Xiaobai, get up early tomorrow and get ready. We have some guests coming to visit."

Ye Bai was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

It's not unusual for someone to visit the Qin family, given the prestige of the Qin family and Old Madam Qin.

But what does this have to do with him? Could it be that someone from the Ye family has come?

But even if he were a member of the Ye family, Old Madam Qin wouldn't have made him take it so seriously.

"Grandma, who's coming tomorrow?"

While Ye Bai was still wondering, Qin Wanqing simply asked the question for him.

“It’s your grandmother Zhu and her granddaughter Daji. They’re coming to our house for lunch.”

Old Madam Qin said with a smile.

"Is Zhu Daji coming?"

Qin Wanqing's delicate eyebrows furrowed suddenly, and her eyes instantly turned sharp.

Meanwhile, Shen Lu, who was standing to the side, also perked up her ears and began to smell the strong scent of gossip.

The fact that such a powerful demon is coming to the Qin family is no small matter. Could it be for the sake of the son-in-law?

In Shen Lu's memory, Zhu Daji had never visited the Qin family before; this was the first time.

Qin Wanqing clearly shared the same thought, her gaze falling on Ye Bai, her pretty face slowly turning frosty.

"??"

Ye Bai stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered, having no idea why Qin Wanqing and Shen Lu were staring at him, especially with their bitter and resentful expressions.

“Wanqing, I’m not trying to criticize you, but although the Qin family and the Zhu family are somewhat competitive in business, that’s just business. In private, you should get along better with Daji and stop fighting every time you meet.”

“Look at me, your grandmother from the Zhu family, I’ve always kept these things very clear. Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters. I would never let business things hurt our relationship.”

"Daji is a good child, just a little mischievous. You're older than her, so you should act like an older sister. Take this opportunity tomorrow to have a good talk with her..."

Old Madam Qin snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with Qin Wanqing's attitude.

She usually turns a blind eye to the interactions between the younger generation and doesn't get involved.

But since they're coming to visit tomorrow, it wouldn't look good if another conflict broke out.

Among all the wealthy families in Jingzhou, there are not many people left from the generation of Old Madam Qin, and Old Madam Zhu is the one she is closest to. Of course, she doesn't want to upset her old friend because of the rudeness of the younger generation.

"I have several important meetings to attend tomorrow, so I won't be having lunch at home."

Qin Wanqing took a deep breath and made up an excuse.

Since she couldn't stop it, she simply decided to avoid seeing it altogether.

It's absolutely impossible for her to tolerate Zhu Daji and treat her like a sister.

How could the conflicts and contradictions between the two of them over the years be resolved so easily?

Moreover, other factors have now been added to the mix.

"You silly child!"

Old Madam Qin was somewhat helpless, but she didn't say anything more.

After all, Qin Wanqing wasn't a child anymore, so she couldn't say anything too harsh.

The atmosphere became quite tense because of this incident, so Old Madam Qin simply stopped eating and asked Feng Gu to accompany her for a walk in the garden outside.

The restaurant was now empty except for Ye Bai and his two companions.

"Hey, are you satisfied now, Mr. Ye?"

As soon as her grandmother left, Qin Wanqing stopped trying to control herself and glared at Ye Bai through gritted teeth.

"...How the hell am I satisfied? What did I do?"

Ye Bai was dumbfounded, suddenly realizing that he was even more wronged than Dou E.

Heaven have mercy, he hasn't said a word all this time, and yet people are taking their anger out on him.

The Queen of Qin's unreasonable behavior is truly something else.

"Heh, still playing dumb in front of me, huh? You dare say that Zhu Daji coming to the Qin family tomorrow has nothing to do with you?"

Qin Wanqing poked at the bottom of the plate with her chopsticks and said with a sneer.

Meanwhile, Shen Lu, on the other hand, began to slowly shrink her head back, not daring to eat anymore, for fear that she might be caught in the crossfire.
