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

"It's alright. Besides, what Miss Shen said is right. There's no need for us to be so formal, unless you don't want to consider me a friend."

Ye Bai smiled slightly; he wouldn't care about such a small matter.

Moreover, he disliked Yang Renxiao's always humble demeanor, as if he were afraid others wouldn't know he had something on him.

"It is my great honor, Yang Renxiao, to be regarded as a friend by Mr. Ye!"

Seeing that Ye Bai was not faking it and genuinely didn't care, Yang Renxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But their attitude remained extremely respectful.

He wanted to become the heir of the Yang family and obtain all of Yang Tianju's assets, and Ye Bai was an insurmountable obstacle for him.

In particular, Yang Tianju still harbors extreme affection for his nanny Xie Wanting, making it impossible for him to secretly send her away or hide her away.

"Lust is a knife above one's head"—Yang Tianju now deeply understands the meaning of this saying.

So he had a sudden epiphany, left his respectable family, and started dating female celebrities.

Anyway, as long as these actors are paid, that's enough; there's no need to worry about any trouble that might follow.

"Mr. Qin..."

After exchanging only a few words, Qin Wanqing came over, and Yang Renxiao stepped forward again to greet her.

He had genuine respect for the Queen of Qin.

Of course, he had other ideas before, but after Ye Bai seized his lifeline, he didn't dare to have any more thoughts.

All that remains is the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

"You should find a decent girl to marry."

Qin Wanqing glanced at Shen Caiwei and said calmly.

She and Ye Bai share a rare trait: neither of them is interested in celebrities.

In her eyes, Yang Renxiao was actually quite capable, but he always liked to devote his energy and attention to women, which was undoubtedly a waste of his time.

If he could marry a girl from a respectable family, perhaps he could settle down.

At that time, the Qin Group may gain another capable executive.

These blunt and contemptuous words made Shen Caiwei's pretty face flush red instantly, and she felt humiliated.

But she dared not show it, and could only force herself to hold it in, giving Qin Wanqing a sweet smile and saying, "Then we'll thank President Qin for her blessing, and strive to achieve our happy ending soon."

Shen Caiwei didn't know Ye Bai, but she knew Qin Wanqing and was well aware of what the title "Queen of Jingzhou" meant.

So even if they were very unhappy, they dared not show it at all.

How can someone be so successful in the entertainment industry? Their thick skin and quick wit are top-notch. They managed to turn Qin Wanqing's inappropriate remarks into a blessing for her relationship with Yang Renxiao.

This kind of clever trick is something most people don't have.

"hehe."

Qin Wanqing smiled faintly. Given her status, it was already difficult enough for her to offer Yang Renxiao a word of advice, so of course she wouldn't hold a grudge against an actor.

Afterwards, Yang Renxiao tactfully led Shen Caiwei away, leaving only Ye Bai and the other two behind.

"Tell me the truth, was Zhao Wuyai's near-death experience really just an accident?"

Qin Wanqing stared intently at Ye Bai with her beautiful big eyes and asked in a low voice.

Clearly, the intelligent Queen Qin had already noticed something amiss, but she hadn't had the chance to ask her about it before.

"you guess."

Ye Bai chuckled, neither admitting nor denying.

"...I bet you're kidding me!"

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes in exasperation, but she already knew the answer.

So she gently rubbed her temples, but her headache only worsened.

News just came from the hospital that Zhao Wuyai's diagnosis results are in.

He suffered seventeen fractures throughout his body, the most serious being a comminuted fracture of his femur.

Although it can be cured, there is a high possibility of permanent disability.

In other words, Zhao's eldest son, who was already short, might become a cripple who is 1.6 or 1.7 meters tall in the future.

This incident infuriated the Zhao family, but because it was a fair competition and an accident, they were unable to retaliate for the time being.

Of course, this was also because the Qin and Zhu families were involved.

Although that King Zhao Yan was always domineering, he was not a brainless brute.

If it were only either the Qin family or the Zhu family, the Zhao family could demand an explanation.

But to attack both sides at the same time, how could he be so foolish?

However, given the extent to which the Zhao family dotes on Zhao Wuyai, this matter is unlikely to be resolved peacefully.

This is also why Qin Wanqing specifically came to ask Ye Bai.

If it's truly an accident, then there's nothing to worry about. Even if the case goes all the way to the Admiral, it's just the Zhao family making trouble for no reason.

But if it's not an accident, then it's a bit troublesome.

But precisely what Qin Wanqing feared was the truth.

"Zhao Wuyai's horse kicked up on purpose."

Ye Bai thought for a moment and decided to offer an explanation.

After all, they are family in name only, and it's not good to keep everything from each other.

"He really deserved it!"

A cold glint flashed in Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes. She snorted, but there was no longer any hesitation in her mind.

Since Zhao Wuyai brought this upon himself, there's nothing to worry about.

The Qin family, not the Zhao family, is still the head of the four major families in Jingzhou!

About half an hour later, after Zheng Wushuang made a few token remarks about everyone having a good time, the banquet officially began.

Although the Zheng family is not ranked very high among the wealthy families in Jingzhou, Zheng Wushuang, the eldest son of the Zheng family, is absolutely extravagant.

Even if it's an impromptu open-air banquet, the preparations are still extremely lavish.

Some rare and expensive foods, such as blue lobster and king crab, French black truffles and matsutake mushrooms, bluefin tuna and wild yellow croaker, Almas caviar and Iberian ham, appeared on the table.

Many of the things here were things that Ye Bai had never even tasted at the Qin family's house.

There was none at the recent birthday banquet of the Governor of Jingzhou!

This alone shows Zheng Wushuang's extraordinary qualities!

The saying that the finest seafood is for the wealthy is indeed true.

The wines offered were even more astonishing, consisting entirely of Lehua Winery Musigny Grand Cru red wines.

The price of a single bottle of this red wine is not particularly expensive, but it is still around 268,000 yuan.

Moreover, Lehua Winery only produces about 500 bottles of wine a year, but Zheng Wushuang took out a full 20 bottles at once!

There are also twenty bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grand Cru red wine, which is cheaper than Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, but still costs as much as 175,000!

In addition, there are also champagnes and other similarly expensive items.

This means that, putting everything else aside, the price of these drinks alone is close to ten million!

Is this really the world of the truly wealthy?

After hearing Qin Wanqing tell him the approximate cost of the banquet, Ye Bai was completely stunned!

He's had his share of wealth in the tens of millions, but the key is he's never spent it!

All the money I've painstakingly earned from Queen Qin during this period, even if I were to compromise and be subservient, wouldn't be enough to buy even twenty bottles of her red wine.

The difference is really quite large...
