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

"Ye Bai, how did you figure out that Ye Xuanyuan was faking illness?"

As they went downstairs, Han Mengmeng looked at Ye Bai and asked.

Her large, bright eyes, like those of stars, were full of curiosity, and her long eyelashes fluttered incessantly, captivating all who looked at her.

"I know medicine."

Ye Bai shrugged, once again ignoring the beauty of the Han family's little princess.

"You are indeed more capable than I imagined!"

Han Mengmeng gave a thumbs up, a genuine compliment.

"Well, I don't disagree with that."

Ye Bai nodded, finding Han Mengmeng even more pleasing to the eye.

He prefers sweet-talking girls and keeps his distance from those with sharp tongues.

"The Ye family is probably going to be furious with you this time. What you said about Qin Wanqing insisting on publishing a notice in the newspaper before returning the resort was also a lie, wasn't it? In fact, you didn't even tell her that, did you?"

Han Mengmeng asked again.

After being poke off the hospital bed by Ye Bai's finger, Ye Xuanyuan could no longer pretend, no matter how shameless he was.

Yang Guangyao and his wife Ye felt the same way, both feeling ashamed.

But one thing is certain: after this incident, the Ye family's opinion of Ye Bai will definitely worsen.

In the eyes of the Ye family, this adopted son of the Ye family has become a complete ingrate who never thinks about the Ye family.

Ye Bai was taken aback: "Whether you're angry or not doesn't matter, how do you know I didn't say it?"

He no longer cares about the Ye family's attitude towards him. If it weren't for his desire to find that Xuanmen secret manual, he wouldn't have any further dealings with the Ye family.

Han Mengmeng said, "Although I don't get along with Qin Wanqing, I still know her quite well. With her arrogant personality, if the Ye family asks for the things they gave away back, she might just burn them all."

"...You really know her well."

Ye Bai's lips twitched. This really proved the saying: the person who knows you best is often not your friend, but your enemy.

What are you planning to take me out to eat?

Han Mengmeng clearly had no interest in the Qin and Ye families' affairs. She didn't care about Ye Bai at all, and she couldn't be bothered to care.

It would be more meaningful to research what to eat.

"You choose the location, and I'll treat everyone."

Ye Bai waved his hand magnanimously and added another sentence.

"By the way, find someone who can issue invoices."

Although Queen Qin had already paid a deposit to hire him to have more contact with Han Mengmeng, revenge was the reward, but the expenses still needed to be reimbursed.

There's no reason for such a big boss to put a small employee like him under undue pressure.

"Ye Bai, you're so funny."

Han Mengmeng couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't think much of it.

……

"Mom! See what I told you? That beast Ye Bai is completely unreliable!"

"They used my Ye family as a stepping stone to infiltrate the Qin family and now they don't take us seriously at all!"

"You still treat him like a son, but does he treat you like a mother?"

Inside the ward, Ye Xuanyuan grew increasingly angry and couldn't help but complain to Yang Fenglan.

"Sister, I think Xuanyuan is right. That Ye Bai is an ungrateful little wolf cub!"

"Without the Ye family, he wouldn't be where he is today! But not only does he not know how to be grateful, he also looks down on us more and more, he's no different from an animal!"

“You and my brother-in-law are being far too lenient with this brat. If you ask me, we should just go to the Qin family and ask for child support, and make them use the resort as payment!”

As Yang Guangyao packed his things, he angrily cursed.

Since their plan to feign illness had failed, they naturally had no need to stay in the hospital any longer, and they had to take the props with them.

"Second Uncle's idea is good. Mom, why don't you discuss it with Dad?"

Ye Xuanyuan's eyes lit up; he really couldn't bear to part with that resort worth hundreds of millions.

Qin Wanqing, such a stunning beauty, was given to Ye Bai for free. Why should he give him another big gift?

If Ye Bai were really his biological brother, that would be one thing, but the other party is just an adopted son picked up from an orphanage!

Does he even deserve to spend the Ye family's money?

"...Let me talk to your dad about it when he gets back."

Madam Ye hesitated for a moment, then sighed and did not object this time.

After all, a son is always the closest.

"By the way, Second Uncle, send out all the best men in the family to find out who dared to attack me!"

"I must find him and tear him to pieces!"

Recalling the previous attack, Ye Xuanyuan's eyes instantly turned extremely sinister, and he shouted sharply.

It was bad enough that he was humiliated by the Qin and Zhu families, but some country bumpkin who appeared out of nowhere actually dared to attack him. This was pure suicide!

However, the thought of the middle-aged man's cold and cruel eyes sent a shiver down Ye Xuanyuan's spine.

He had met many ruthless people over the years, but this guy was clearly extraordinary.

……

"How is it? How does it taste?"

In a small shop on the old street by the lake, Han Mengmeng finished her bowl of cold noodles and looked at Ye Bai with some hope.

"Hmm, the taste is indeed good, but there's no meat in it..."

Ye Bai had three empty bowls next to him, but he still felt like he wasn't full.

He's the type who can't live without meat; if he doesn't eat meat at a meal, he'll feel hungry no matter how much other food he eats.

What he never expected was that when he let Han Mengmeng choose the place, she ended up choosing such a small cold noodle shop!

The entire shop is no more than ten square meters in size, and besides cold noodles, there is nothing else to eat.

But I have to say, this cold noodle dish is really delicious. Ye Bai has never eaten anything so good before.

"Health experts often say that you shouldn't eat too much meat, as it can easily lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar."

Han Mengmeng took the opportunity to teach Ye Bai some health knowledge.

"...But those health experts all died young."

Ye Bai looked sad.

Han Mengmeng choked, unable to maintain her usual ethereal and otherworldly demeanor any longer, and rolled her eyes at Ye Bai.

Chatting with this guy can easily lead to a dead end.

After having some cold noodles and taking a stroll around the nearby lake, Ye Bai said goodbye to Han Mengmeng and went home when it was almost time.

He was really craving dinner at the Qin family's old house and didn't want to eat those snacks with Han Mengmeng anymore.

It's not that the food is bad, the problem is that it's not filling.

"Hey, isn't this Ye the Casanova? Why aren't you with your little vixen? You've finally decided to come home."

As soon as Ye Bai returned to the Qin family's old residence, Qin Wanqing, who had already left work, began to speak in a sarcastic tone.

How did you know I was with Han Mengmeng?

Ye Bai was taken aback, then turned his head and looked at Shen Lu.

The little girl was shrinking back, her head drooping, looking completely guilty.

Without a doubt, this little traitor has tattled again.

"Heh, you even went out of your way to chase Lulu away first. Mr. Ye, are you really planning to turn this charade into a real affair, acting on orders to pick up girls?"

Qin Wanqing's pretty face turned cold, and she sneered repeatedly.
