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

If Ye Bai only knew Zheng Wushuang, Yang Guangyao could accept it.

After all, with Qin Wanqing's connection, Ye Bai would inevitably have contact with these people sooner or later.

Even so, Zheng Wushuang shouldn't have treated Ye Bai this way!

These young masters from top wealthy families are almost all arrogant and conceited.

Ye Bai, the Qin family's son-in-law who got lucky by sheer luck, what merit does he have to be treated like this by Zheng Wushuang?

He even took the initiative to drag Ye Bai out for drinks. Even his own nephew, Ye Xuanyuan, wouldn't have that kind of face, right?

"Oh, it's Mr. Yang. Nice to meet you."

Zheng Wushuang took the business card, glanced at it, put it in his pocket, and smiled again, "If Mr. Yang doesn't mind, would you like to join us for some fun? Fengyun is treating today, let's rip him off!"

Although it seemed like he was speaking to Yang Guangyao, Zheng Wushuang was actually looking at Ye Bai the whole time.

Clearly, Zheng Wushuang only gave Yang Guangyao face because of Ye Bai.

Otherwise, someone who only knows how to suck up to the Ye family wouldn't even be qualified to have anything to do with him.

"still……"

Ye Bai was still unsure of Yang Guangyao's purpose in contacting him, and since there were many people around, it was inconvenient to talk, so he wanted to politely decline.

Before he could even speak, Yang Guangyao nodded his head vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice, and said excitedly, "It's our honor that Young Master Zheng invited us. I'll pay the bill today!"

Anyway, he'd need an invoice from Yuntian Club for reimbursement, and the money wouldn't end up in his hands if he didn't spend it. He might as well take this opportunity to build a good relationship with a top-tier rich young master like Zheng Wushuang.

"No need, Fengyun isn't short of that kind of money."

Zheng Wushuang's smile turned cold, clearly showing his displeasure with Yang Guangyao's reckless actions.

Inviting someone to a meal is also a form of social courtesy, and for scions of wealthy families like them, social courtesy is far more valuable than money.

Yang Guangyao is merely the brother-in-law of the Ye family patriarch; expecting him to owe a favor is pure wishful thinking.

If it weren't for Ye Bai's sake, he would have kicked him out right now.

It would be beneath their dignity to eat, drink, and have fun with such people.

He originally suggested that everyone go together because he thought that if the other party was sensible, they would definitely refuse and leave, leaving Ye Bai behind.

After all, they're not from the same generation, so they don't get along well, and it's actually a bit awkward.

Unexpectedly, Yang Guangyao not only failed to appreciate the situation, but also became increasingly arrogant.

This made him somewhat regretful. If he had known that the other party was of this kind of character, he would have preferred to arrange to meet Ye Bai alone another day.

But having already spoken, he couldn't go back on his word given his position.

Fortunately, Yang Guangyao also sensed Zheng Wushuang's displeasure and realized that his words had been rash, so he awkwardly stopped talking.

In fact, he is quite capable in dealing with people and knows how to maintain appropriate boundaries, otherwise Ye Wentian would not always send him out on business.

He was just a little too excited to be invited by such an important figure as Zheng Wushuang, whom he would never normally have the chance to meet.

Ye Bai could naturally sense Zheng Wushuang's dissatisfaction, but he had no intention of explaining on Yang Guangyao's behalf.

Simps don't deserve sympathy, whether they're simps for women or men.

Of course, if he were the one being licked, that would be a different story.

As for Zheng Wushuang, there's no need for him to say more.

With Mr. Zheng's shrewdness, he would soon discover the true relationship between him and Yang Guangyao.

At that time, this sycophantic second uncle will finally understand what it means to try to steal a chicken but lose the rice instead.

It's useless to force your way in if you're not part of the same circle.

Strictly speaking, Ye Bai isn't actually part of this circle.

But what can he do when he has such a good wife!

The Qin family's son-in-law who got lucky is nothing special, but a husband who is recognized by the Queen of Jingzhou is a different story.

"Holy crap! Ye Bai, you scumbag, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell Wan Qing to come by herself and not bring you?"

Upon seeing Ye Bai follow Zheng Wushuang into the private room, Li Fengyun jumped up, looking completely dumbfounded, feeling utterly bewildered.

As a simp, seeing the goddess's husband is naturally not a pleasant thing.

...Wait a minute! Why do I feel like I'm a simp again?!

Pah! Pah! Pah! I'm not a simp, those two are!

Ye Bai was too lazy to pay attention to the inner monologue of a little sycophant, and simply asked with a strange expression, "You also invited Wan Qing?"

"Yeah, so why was it you who came last?"

Li Fengyun nodded subconsciously, and began to feel that something was amiss.

"...If there's no traffic, you've probably been stood up. I just ran into Ye Bai by chance."

Zheng Wushuang shook his head helplessly.

Although Qin Wanqing would occasionally attend their gatherings, those were all before the wedding.

After getting married, Qin Wanqing would almost always bring Ye Bai along.

In this respect, Queen Qin is quite traditional, unlike other heiresses from wealthy families.

So, since Ye Bai didn't know about this gathering, it can only mean one thing.

When Fengyun the little dog sent a message to the goddess inviting her, she didn't directly refuse, but she also didn't plan to come...

"I've decided from now on to be mortal enemies with sycophants! Let whoever wants to lick them, lick them all!"

Li Fengyun wasn't stupid; he quickly figured out what was going on, and then, filled with grief and indignation, he made a vow.

"Condolences."

Ye Bai was speechless upon seeing this, and could only pat Li Fengyun on the shoulder in a comforting manner.

Although this guy always treated him as a love rival, he didn't have a bad impression of him.

Of the three sycophants of the Queen of Qin, Ye Bai, the second son of the Admiral's family, has never been met and his character is unknown.

Zhao Wuyai, on the other hand, is a typical villain and has no good reputation among the wealthy scions.

On the contrary, Li Fengyun, who is always loud and boisterous, has a very good character and is well-liked.

Moreover, Ye Bai could sense that although Li Fengyun did indeed like Qin Wanqing, he had gradually accepted the fact that she was married.

Her occasional shouts were just a way to commemorate their past love... No, Qin Wanqing never loved this guy, so it was just a life of being a simp.

"Huh? Aren't you Ye Xuanyuan's second uncle? What are you doing here? I don't remember inviting Ye Xuanyuan."

Li Fengyun finally noticed Yang Guangyao behind him and asked him something strange.

Although Ye Xuanyuan was also a young master from a wealthy family and belonged to the same circle as them, the circle of wealthy young masters in Jingzhou was divided into many small factions.

People like Li Fengyun, Zheng Wushuang, Zhu Daji, and Qin Wanqing all belong to the same circle and usually get along quite well.

Ye Xuanyuan was closer to Zhao Wuyai and others. Especially after the incident of Ye Xuanyuan breaking off the engagement, both Li Fengyun and Zheng Wushuang had a very bad impression of him, so they naturally wouldn't get together.

"I...I'm also Xiaobai's second uncle..."

Yang Guangyao was so embarrassed that he felt like he wanted to crawl into a hole, and in the end he could only force a smile with his face flushed.

"Xiao Bai? Ye Bai? Oh my, I almost forgot, Ye Bai is an adopted son of the Ye family!"

Li Fengyun was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening. He patted his head and looked at Ye Bai with a resentful expression, saying, "It's all your fault, you scumbag! You've been making my brain malfunction lately!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

Whether it was Zheng Wushuang, Yang Guangyao, or the other girls, the way they looked at Ye Bai and Li Fengyun all became strange...
