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

The most striking feature of the villas in the Qin Family Manor is their size!

Moreover, because Old Madam Qin was very open-minded, she did not force everyone's villas to adopt the same style and be funded by the Qin Group. Instead, she let the Qin family members spend their own money and build according to their own preferences.

In any case, the Qin family manor is large enough that all the villas do not need to be placed together. Even if each has its own characteristics, it will not affect the overall aesthetics at all.

As the saying goes, relatives are always the ones who love to compare themselves to each other, and this is absolutely true.

Even if they are brothers and sisters, they may appear to be on good terms, but deep down they may harbor thoughts of competing with each other.

The best way to compete is undoubtedly to see who has the bigger and more luxurious villa, or the more and more expensive cars.

Among them, the most vain was undoubtedly Qin Shengfeng, the sixth son of the Qin family.

Therefore, his villa is the largest in the entire Qin family manor.

It wasn't because he was the richest, but because he was the youngest, and this villa was the last one to be built.

Although the Qin family still has a seventh son, he has been working hard in other places for a long time. When he comes back, he usually stays at the old Qin family house, so there is no point in building a villa.

As for how the villa is built and how much it costs, Old Madam Qin will not care.

But meaningless waste is absolutely unacceptable.

For example, someone might feel dissatisfied with the completed villa and want to demolish it and rebuild it.

So, in order to show that he was the most powerful one in the Qin family, Qin Shengfeng, who was building the villa, would have been doing a disservice to his brains if he didn't make sure that the villa was the largest.

To showcase his high-class lifestyle, Qin Shengfeng even built a huge banquet hall in his villa.

It is in no way inferior to the Governor's Office of Jingzhou, and may even be superior.

The decorations were extremely luxurious, resembling a palace, perfectly embodying the word "luxury".

This was Ye Bai's first time here. After walking in, he felt his eyes were starting to blur. He had to admire Qin Shengfeng's extravagant spending.

The Qin family already has its own banquet hall for guests from all sides, which is more than enough under normal circumstances.

Qin Shengfeng's creation of such a thing would be a complete waste of money, except for making it easier for him to show off.

However, this also shows that Qin Shengfeng must have made a lot of money from the Qin Group over the years.

The cost of this banquet hall alone was already staggering, so one can only imagine how enormous the cost of the entire villa must have been.

"Ye Bai? What are you doing here?"

As soon as Ye Bai entered the door, a surprised and displeased voice rang out. It was none other than his brother-in-law, who was looking at him with a gloomy expression.

Chen Jingmei was not with Qin Xiuwen; no one knew where she had gone.

At this time, there weren't many people in the huge banquet hall, but there was plenty of food and drinks prepared.

A long table, about twenty or thirty meters long, was placed in the middle and filled to the brim.

"Brother, what do you mean by that? Can't I come here?"

Ye Bai remained calm and spoke indifferently.

Qin Xiuwen disliked him very much; he had sensed this from the first time they met.

Ye Bai didn't hold it against Qin Wanqing and Old Madam Qin, but he did.

But this doesn't mean he has to be overly eager to please others; it's best for everyone to keep to themselves.

"Young Master, this is a banquet hosted by Sixth Master. If you can come, why can't your son-in-law come? No matter what, your son-in-law is your brother-in-law, and he's your only one!"

Shen Lu couldn't help but stand up for him.

"Hehe, my brother-in-law is probably true, but whether we're really close is another matter, and he's far from being the only one."

Qin Xiuwen sneered, too lazy to pay attention to a servant like Shen Lu, and looked directly at Ye Bai, saying, "Don't forget, Qin Shuang is also my sister, even closer than me. As for why I can come but you can't, do I need to answer such a stupid question? I was invited by Sixth Uncle, and what about you? Did Sixth Uncle invite you too?"

Ye Bai shook his head and pouted, "They didn't invite me, but I still came. What can you do to me? This is Uncle Liu's house, not yours. If it were your house, I wouldn't go even if you invited me in a sedan chair carried by eight men."

Whenever he encountered his brother-in-law, he would try his best to give him face.

But some people are just the kind who don't appreciate kindness, so Ye Bai felt he didn't need to be polite anymore.

Anyway, Old Madam Qin isn't here, so there's no need to worry about upsetting her.

puff……

Seeing her son-in-law's lazy and somewhat helpless appearance, Shen Lu almost burst out laughing.

Qin Xiuwen, however, was so angry that his face turned ashen and his expression became extremely ugly.

"Ye Bai, you really think too highly of yourself! Don't forget who you are! The reason you became the Qin family's son-in-law is not because you are so outstanding, but because the Ye family chose you as a scapegoat!"

"The reason why the Qin family is indulging you now and letting you act as their son-in-law is simply out of pity and to give you some preferential treatment before you die."

"If I were you, I would definitely be grateful for the Qin family's kindness and try my best to enjoy the riches and honors of this status in my remaining years, instead of becoming arrogant because of their favor!"

"Don't forget, this is the Qin family. We all share the surname Qin, but your surname is Ye, which was bestowed upon you by the Ye family!"

Qin Xiuwen took a deep breath and reprimanded him mercilessly.

Although he worked in a department under the Governor's Office, Qin Xiuwen might not have many other skills, but he was quite adept at using his tongue.

Being good with words is an essential skill for people like them.

“Well, there are some things you said that I don’t agree with. First of all, my surname is Ye. The name ‘Ye Bai’ was not given to me by the Ye family. It was my original name.”

"Secondly, are you so sure that I'll be cursed to death after marrying Wanqing?"

Ye Bai remained calm and composed, showing no anger whatsoever.

"Nonsense! The fate of someone who brings misfortune to their husbands is an unsolvable problem; this is the answer given by several masters of the Xuanmen (Taoist school)!"

"So, I advise you not to harbor any illusions. If you have any sense at all, you should know when to quit while you're ahead and leave the Qin family as soon as possible."

"You've been in the Qin family for so many days now, and being able to enjoy all this wealth and luxury is already a blessing you've accumulated over eight lifetimes!"

"The first thing a person should do is believe in fate, and the second is to know contentment! Those who are greedy and insatiable usually end up in a miserable state."

"You're an orphan, so it's understandable that you want a better life. Here's what we'll do: if you're willing to pack your bags and leave, I can put in charge for the Qin family and give you a sum of money as compensation, enough to last you the rest of your life..."

Qin Xiuwen snorted coldly, first mocking him, then adopting an attitude of "I'm doing this for your own good" and earnestly advising him.

"You actually know a master of the Xuanmen sect?"

Ye Bai's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his expression began to become subtle.
