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

"Mengmeng, judging from what you're saying, how could you possibly be here to freeload... Wait, do you know this kid?"

Upon seeing Han Mengmeng, Qin Shengfeng immediately put on a smiling face.

There aren't many people in the entire Jingzhou that he fears, but Han Anguo is definitely one of them.

So even though he hated them to death back then, he didn't dare to take revenge, and he had to treat all the Han family members like ancestors.

Han Mengmeng, Han Anguo's beloved granddaughter, is naturally his greatest ancestor.

But as they talked, Qin Shengfeng realized something was wrong.

This little princess of the Han family is actually standing up for Ye Bai? What's going on?

In his view, Ye Bai, a bastard from an orphanage, was incredibly lucky to be adopted by the Ye family.

To become the son-in-law of the Qin family is something that must have been earned through eight lifetimes of good fortune!

How could someone like him possibly know a girl as noble and beautiful as Han Mengmeng?

"Ye Bai and I not only know each other, but we're also best friends. So, Uncle Qin, are you planning to kick my best friend out?"

Han Mengmeng's expression remained indifferent, giving off a clear sense of detachment. She quietly looked at Qin Shengfeng and asked.

"This……"

Qin Shengfeng was completely dumbfounded. He really wanted to nod, but he didn't dare to.

Inviting Han Anguo today was not his idea, but Qin Shengshui's decision.

Even the invitation call was made personally by Qin Shengshui.

It wasn't just because he didn't want to invite the other party, but because he knew very well that even if he did, Chairman Han wouldn't give him any face.

Qin Shengfeng was also well aware of Qin Shengshui's purpose in inviting Han Anguo.

For the sake of the other party's 10% stake in the Qin Group!

Once Qin Wanqing gets the shares from Han Anguo, she will never have another chance to turn the tables.

That's why Qin Shengfeng was able to put aside his grudges and agree.

Normally, he wouldn't dare offend Han Anguo's favorite granddaughter, let alone the crucial fact that she also had shares in his company.

...Qin Laoliu, you can't back down!

Seeing this, Ye Bai couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

His goal was to deliberately provoke Qin Shengfeng in order to disrupt the situation.

Unexpectedly, Han Mengmeng stepped forward to stand up for him.

Although the intention was certainly good and the effect was obvious, it completely disrupted his plans.

There's a skill involved in causing trouble, since they're all members of the Qin family, and Qin Shengfeng is an elder. Ye Bai can't just cause a scene without a reason, otherwise even Old Madam Qin won't be able to side with him.

Therefore, it is necessary to make Qin Shengfeng aggressive and bully him, the younger generation, so that he can retaliate in "grief and indignation" and it doesn't matter if things get a little bigger.

Given how much the old lady dotes on him, Qin Laoliu will definitely be the one who suffers in the end.

But he had barely started this fire when Han Mengmeng became a firefighter, and you can imagine how she felt.

"Fine, for Mengmeng's sake, I'll let it slide today. But Ye Bai, I must remind you, today's banquet is for the distinguished guest, Elder Han. You'd better not cause trouble, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Just as Ye Bai was looking forward to Qin Shengfeng's rise to power, Qin Laoliu threw down a sentence and turned to leave.

There was nothing he could do; he really couldn't afford to offend Han Mengmeng, so he could only swallow his pride and bear it.

"Thanks."

Ye Bai felt a bit annoyed, but he still had to express his gratitude to Han Mengmeng.

Regardless, it's true that the girl stood up for him earlier, and it was all out of good intentions.

"Why do you look so disappointed? Could it be that you're actually hoping Qin Shengfeng will kick you out?"

Han Mengmeng tilted her head, looking suspicious.

Although this girl is young, she is clearly top-notch in terms of intelligence, on par with Qin Wanqing, and has extremely strong observational skills.

"Mengmeng's here! I didn't expect you and my Xiaobai to be friends. We should definitely keep in touch more often..."

Just as Ye Bai was pondering how to answer the question, a gentle voice came out, and Qin Shengshui also walked over.

With a friendly smile on his face and a plump figure, Qin's third son, regardless of other factors, far surpassed the rest of the Qin family in terms of affability.

However, the strange look that flashed in his eyes revealed that this third uncle was somewhat surprised by the relationship between Ye Bai and Han Mengmeng.

"Hello, Uncle Qin."

Han Mengmeng's attitude towards Qin Shengshui became noticeably more respectful.

From this point, Ye Bai concluded that Zhao Jianqiang was right.

The relationship between Han Anguo and Qin Shengshui was indeed extraordinary.

Previously, Qin Laosan went abroad, and Han Anguo had no interest in participating in the power struggle for the presidency of the Qin Group.

The reason for choosing not to stand up for Qin Wanqing and instead remaining neutral is probably due to this.

But now, it's hard to say.

"By the way, has Xiu Zhao contacted you these past few days? If he tries to reach you, please tell him to stop wasting his time out there and go back to work."

“This kid has become quite capable now, and his temper has grown too. He doesn’t listen to me anymore, he only listens to you.”

Qin Shengshui smiled and nodded.

"Uncle Qin, you've probably misunderstood. Qin Xiuzhao and I are just ordinary friends, and we don't usually have any contact."

"Well, speaking of which, I'd like to ask you for a favor. Tell Qin Xiuzhao to stop calling me all the time. I've blocked several of his phone numbers, but it's still going on and on. It's really annoying."

Han Mengmeng's expression was calm, but the disgust in her tone was undisguised.

Qin Shengshui's pupils visibly contracted, but then he shook his head helplessly and smiled, "We older folks won't interfere in the affairs of you younger generation. Let's leave it to fate."

Han Mengmeng nodded and said, "I agree with what Uncle Qin said. Relationships between people still depend on fate."

As she spoke, Han Mengmeng suddenly turned to Ye Bai and asked, "Ye Bai, I think we're quite destined for each other, don't you think?"

What the hell!

Ye Bai was jolted by Han Mengmeng's sudden remark, and felt completely flustered.

What is this little girl trying to do? It's one thing to say these things in private, but is it appropriate to say them in a setting like this?

Zhao Jianqiang, who was standing to the side, was also dumbfounded. While he was surprised, he also felt a strange excitement.

what is this?

Han's little princess publicly confesses her love for Qin's new son-in-law?

Wow, this is quite a dramatic scene.

Shen Lu was so angry that her eyes widened. She never imagined that Han Mengmeng would be so shameless as to say such things in public.

On the surface, Qin Shengshui seemed to be the one with the least reaction.

The third son of the Qin family was still all smiles.

However, the chilling glint in his eyes revealed that his inner self was far from being as calm and collected as he appeared.

That's normal, since Qin Shengshui has always regarded Han Mengmeng as his future daughter-in-law.

But here she is today, first declaring that she and Qin Xiuzhao are just ordinary friends and that she dislikes him, then turning to Ye Bai and saying that we are destined to meet...

This was no less than a slap in the face to the third branch of the Qin family!
