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

"Mom! I know you like to protect the younger generation, but you can't spoil them to this extent, can you?"

"Our Qin family has so many vegetable gardens and greenhouses, how could we possibly lack vegetables for you?"

"Ye Bai is clearly targeting me on purpose. Otherwise, why would he choose my location out of so many other places?"

Qin Shengfeng shouted loudly, his face grim.

"Xiao Bai said that the vegetables he grows are different from those grown by the Qin family. They are more nutritious and taste better. Besides, who told you that the pond is your land? As long as it's within the Qin family manor, Xiao Bai can plant wherever he wants!"

Old Madam Qin snorted coldly, and then added, "I said it!"

"Mom! What's wrong with you..."

Qin Shengfeng was furious. He realized that no matter what the matter was, as long as Ye Bai was involved, this old lady would simply become unreasonable and use her status to intimidate people.

Unfortunately, these children are helpless in the face of this situation.

To dare to argue or talk back is a grave act of filial impiety!

More importantly, the old lady still calls the shots in the Qin family, and their objections are ineffective.

In the end, Qin Shengfeng could only grit his teeth and bear it. He gave Ye Bai a vicious look before turning and leaving.

"It seems your sixth uncle doesn't know you ate the fish yet, hehe..."

Watching Qin Shengfeng retreat in disgrace, Ye Bai moved closer to Qin Wanqing and chuckled softly.

"Get lost! You caught that!"

Qin Wanqing snorted and tilted her head, raising her fair and delicate chin.

"You ate the most."

Ye Bai curled his lip. He found that, compared to men, women were more likely to deny their promises after they were made.

He didn't know if other women were like this, but Queen Qin certainly was.

They thoroughly enjoyed eating the fish, but as soon as they finished, they started shifting the blame.

"Bullshit! Lulu ate the most!"

Qin Wanqing's pretty face turned red, and she retorted angrily.

"it's all my fault……"

Shen Lu, standing to the side, was in tears. She didn't understand why she, who was still a child, always had to bear pressure that she shouldn't have to bear at her age.

Every time the young master and mistress argue, she's the one who always ends up getting hurt...

"By the way, why haven't I seen Tong Yan come back these past two days?"

After Feng Gu helped Old Madam Qin to rest, Ye Bai looked at Qin Wanqing and asked curiously.

"Why? Do you miss her?"

Qin Wanqing instantly became alert, looking at Ye Bai with unfriendly eyes.

Even Shen Lu knows the importance of "being wary of fire, theft, and best friends," so she naturally knows even less about it.

Especially after forming a preconceived notion, Qin Wanqing always felt that Ye Bai was a lecherous man who was good at disguising himself.

With her youthful appearance, beauty, and good temperament, it's perfectly reasonable for this guy to have his eye on her.

"I do somewhat want to."

Ye Bai nodded obediently, wondering when Tong Yan would invite him to be a guest again.

The feeling of answering questions for the audience last time was really interesting.

Especially since they don't have to face each other, he can say whatever he wants and let himself go.

"It's no use thinking about it! Someone like you is someone I'm only willing to take out out of pity."

Qin Wanqing sneered, thinking that this guy was simply overestimating himself.

As her best friend, she knew better than anyone how high Tong Yan's standards were.

It would be impossible for someone to even be interested in Ye Bai unless the sun rises in the west.

Seeing the young lady's disgusted expression, Shen Lu became a little anxious.

She really wanted to say that Tong Yan might actually have feelings for the young master, but Miss, you just don't know it.

She didn't dare say such things, especially with her son-in-law right there beside her.

"Yes, yes, as long as you, Boss Qin, don't renege on your debts, then whatever you say is right."

Ye Bai began to subtly mock Qin Wanqing for defaulting on her debts.

"You surnamed Ye, are you planning to bring up old grievances?"

Queen Qin was enraged and began to rage.

"Shh, keep your voice down. You'll be so embarrassed if Grandma hears you."

Ye Bai raised his middle finger, then realized the gesture was wrong and quickly switched it back to his index finger, kindly reminding him.

"Fine! You're just trying to annoy me! The reward I promised you last time is completely gone!"

Qin Wanqing snorted coldly, her pretty face frosty, and turned to leave.

"Reward? What reward?"

Ye Bai found it strange; the two words seemed familiar, but he couldn't quite place them.

"Young Master, it's about the banquet at the Governor's last time, when you helped Miss obtain the genuine 'Downhill Stream Landscape' painting. Miss said she wanted to give you a reward, but you hadn't decided what you wanted at the time and said you needed to think about it..."

Shen Lu, who was standing to the side, was worried about her son-in-law's intelligence and quickly reminded him.

"Oh, I remembered it."

Ye Bai patted his head; indeed, that was the case.

Qin Wanqing also set a time limit for him: if he didn't bring it up within three days, it would be completely invalid.

As a result, so many things happened later that they both clearly forgot about it.

The so-called three-day deadline has long since passed.

The Queen of Qin brought this up today, not out of kindness to offer a make-up reward, but simply to annoy him.

What a stingy woman!

Ye Bai inwardly grumbled, but he did feel a pang of heartache.

I should have just asked for the money directly from the beginning. Even if it was just 10,000, it would have been better than getting nothing at all.

As Ye Bai was getting into bed that night, he glanced at his phone and saw that someone else wanted to add him as a friend.

Its name is actually "Bamboo Basket".

Ye Bai was so angry that he ignored it and then blocked it.

"??"

Qin Wanqing, who had just lost another account, looked at the notification on her phone with a completely bewildered expression.

……

"Young master, young master, look! This is the legendary Jingzhou Medical College! It looks no smaller than Jingzhou University..."

On the way, Shen Lu drove while excitedly shouting and yelling.

This made Ye Bai a little scared, fearing that he might have another car accident like when he met Shen Zhu last time.

Fortunately, although the little girl is small-minded, she is quite good at multitasking.

You can drive and enjoy the scenery at the same time.

Soon, the car arrived at the school gate. After Shen Lu gave the name "Chen Yizhen," the security guard made a phone call and then respectfully let them through.

Clearly, Dr. Chen was not exaggerating; he held a high position within the medical school.

"The environment here is indeed very nice..."

Sitting in the car, looking around at the scenery on campus, Ye Bai nodded in satisfaction.

Having promised Chen Yizhen yesterday that he would be a teaching assistant, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word.

So after breakfast, I asked Shen Lu to drive me here.

Ye Bai originally thought that even if Jingzhou Medical College wasn't a diploma mill, it certainly wouldn't be that great.

However, upon arrival, I discovered that the scale of this academy was comparable to that of Jingzhou University, the most prestigious university in Jingzhou.

The environment on campus is far superior.

The road is lined with lush trees and countless plants of all kinds, including some rare medicinal herbs.

The air was fresh, and there was a unique tranquility and peace that only a university campus could offer. Ye Bai fell in love with the place at first sight.

He suddenly realized that teaching here seemed like a pretty good job...
