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

"Aunt, do you really think I don't know the scum your family has done to Yi Wenbo? Why don't I call him over and have him confront you on the spot?"

Ye Bai's smile vanished, replaced by a mocking expression.

Respecting the elderly and caring for the young is indeed a traditional virtue, but it's important to consider whether the elderly and young are the right kind of people to care for the young.

People like Qin Yuemei and Tian Yurou are practically no different from animals, and Ye Bai has no reason to indulge them anymore.

"Ye Bai, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to scare my daughter and me? If you've got the guts, then call him over. I'd like to ask him, over the years, what have we done to wrong him?"

Qin Yuemei and Tian Yurou's expressions changed drastically, and they started shouting again.

Anyone who isn't a fool can see that this is a classic case of bluster masking weakness.

Even Zhao Jianqiang, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, had a strange expression on his face, having roughly figured out what was going on.

Of course, it was also because he had been in the Qin family for many years and everyone knew each other well.

He knew perfectly well what kind of people Qin Yuemei's family were.

"Okay, I'll make the call from here."

Ye Bai took out his phone and started flipping through his contacts.

"Never mind, Mom. We're all relatives after all. There's no need to be so serious."

Tian Yurou was young, timid, and easily embarrassed. When she saw that Ye Bai was actually going to call for help, she immediately started to feel guilty.

If she truly has a clear conscience, she naturally wouldn't be afraid to confront him face-to-face.

The key point is that none of the dirty things she and her family did could be brought to the table.

"Fine, for Wanqing's sake, I won't stoop to your level."

Qin Yuemei was well aware of this, so she snorted and quickly backed down.

"No! This matter must be clarified today, otherwise my innocence will be ruined. And if Grandma finds out, she'll think I didn't help or even made things worse!"

Ye Bai shook his head, refusing to back down.

"Um... Xiaobai, it was Auntie who misspoke before. You've already helped. Yu Rou and the other girl are just destined to be apart, it has nothing to do with you..."

"Besides, we're the real relatives, and Yi Wenbo is just an outsider. His breakup with Yu Rou is simply a matter of his own misfortune. We're here today to have fun, so let's not talk about him..."

Putting aside everything else, Qin Yuemei's ability to be flexible and adaptable is top-notch. After realizing that Ye Baizhen was starting to take things seriously, she immediately changed her tune.

"Yeah, brother-in-law, I stopped loving that bastard a long time ago. It's good that we broke up. With my looks and qualifications, I could find anyone. Let's just pretend he's dead!"

Tian Yurou also hurriedly tried to calm Ye Bai down, her voice sweet and coquettish, clearly trying to charm him. She was practically ready to come over and massage her brother-in-law's thighs and shoulders.

Then, seeing Zhao Jianqiang standing to the side, she complained, "Third Uncle, why are you just watching the show? Why don't you help persuade my brother-in-law?"

Zhao Jianqiang opened his mouth, but in the end chose to keep it closed.

He couldn't afford to offend Ye Bai, this jinx. He was already secretly grateful that Ye Bai hadn't dealt with him, so how could he dare to step forward?

"Are you sure I don't need to call Yi Wenbo over to get to the bottom of this?"

Ye Bai put down his phone and asked with a half-smile.

He hadn't actually intended to call for help; he was just trying to scare Qin Yuemei and her daughter.

Because he was certain that the biggest characteristic of people who have done bad things is that they have a guilty conscience.

If Yi Wenbo really comes and tells those things, Qin Yuemei and Tian Yurou will probably never be able to hold their heads up again.

Putting aside others for now, the first thing Old Madam Qin would do is to completely remove them from the Qin family genealogy.

Given the choice between that terrible situation and yielding to Ye Bai, it's not hard to decide which is more important.

So even though Qin Yuemei and her daughter hated Ye Bai to death, they could only shake their heads and say, "No need, no need, we understand now. This is not your fault, and we should thank you!"

Ye Bai said calmly, "No need for thanks, but please remember this: Heaven is watching what people do."

After saying that, Ye Bai didn't even bother to look at Qin Yuemei and her daughter again. He called Zhao Jianqiang and went to continue drinking.

A hint of resentment flashed in Qin Yuemei's eyes, but she dared not say anything more at this moment, and pulled Tian Yurou away.

"Mom! That bastard surnamed Ye is going too far! He's just trying to ride roughshod over us because he has Qin Wanqing backing him up!"

Tian Yurou was furious and cursed under her breath through gritted teeth.

"Don't rush, just bear with it for a few more days. Your dad said that once his plan succeeds, even Qin Wanqing will have to defer to you! And that gigolo Ye Bai will be begging and crying on his knees to beg you!"

Qin Yuemei snorted coldly, but in her heart she had already sentenced Ye Bai to death.

How dare a mere adopted son of the Ye family, a scapegoat sent here to die, be so arrogant? He's simply ignorant of his own limitations!

……

"Third Uncle, you're one of the elders in the Qin family. How much do you know about your eldest uncle?"

Ye Bai looked at Zhao Jianqiang and asked.

Zhao Jianqiang is in his forties, and his age should be similar to that of Tian Hongyu.

As for when he entered the Qin family, Zhao Jianqiang probably did so even earlier.

After all, Old Madam Qin had approved of his marriage to Qin Yuezhu from the very beginning.

However, the situation between Qin Yuemei and Tian Hongyu is quite complicated.

Given the close relationship between brothers-in-law, Zhao Jianqiang and Tian Hongyu should at least be familiar with each other, even if they weren't close.

Moreover, Tian Hongyu had worked at the Qin Group for quite some time, and Zhao Jianqiang should have been there as well; the two could be considered colleagues.

"You've come to the right person! I'm not bragging, but in the Qin family, besides my third brother and eldest sister, I'm probably the only one who truly understands Lao Tian! Back in the day, the two of us spent a lot of time drinking and bragging together..."

Upon hearing Ye Bai mention Tian Hongyu, Zhao Jianqiang immediately perked up and began to talk non-stop.

"Are your eldest uncle and third uncle very close?"

Ye Bai's heart stirred; this was an unexpected gain.

"That's fantastic! They're practically swearing brotherhood on the spot! Have you heard of a pharmaceutical company in Jingzhou called 'Huanyu Pharmaceutical'? That's what your third uncle and your eldest uncle founded back then!"

"It became a listed company many years ago. Although it is said that it later sold off all its shares, it still made a lot of money from it!"

Zhao Jianqiang looked on with envy, clearly wondering why he couldn't have such a good opportunity.

There was no way around it; raising a little devil was just too expensive, and Qin Yuezhu controlled the family's finances, so it wasn't easy for him to make any money.

"They used to own a pharmaceutical company, and they deliberately had Yi Wenbo infect Fang Yishuo, the business manager of Guangmang Pharmaceutical Company, with a sexually transmitted disease..."

Ye Bai's heart stirred, and he had already subtly connected the dots.

However, this was not the time to delve into these matters. Ye Bai smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhao Jianqiang and said, "Third Uncle, please continue. Whether it's a big or small matter, as long as it concerns your eldest uncle, just say so..."
