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

After about half an hour of chaos, the charity auction, spearheaded by the Donghe Community, was finally about to begin, and Ye Ruyan and Jiang Dawei went elsewhere.

The host was also preparing to go on stage, and the auditorium was getting more and more crowded.

But no one showed any anticipation. To be honest, this kind of charity auction is just a formality.

Let's try a different approach: get these wealthy people in high society to contribute money, and let everyone happily do charity together.

The purpose is good, of course, but after participating many times, it loses its novelty.

Especially after hearing that the Admiral had a last-minute meeting and couldn't make it, everyone felt even more bored.

The main reason these prominent figures from the wealthy families of Jingzhou chose to attend tonight's charity auction was to take the opportunity to chat with the Admiral and leave a good impression.

"It seems your older brother is doing quite well at the Admiral's office lately; he's even representing the Admiral at events like this..."

Ye Bai nudged Qin Wanqing and winked at the stage as he spoke.

The Admiral's Office clearly attached great importance to this charity auction, so although the Admiral himself did not come, he sent a representative.

It was none other than Qin Xiuwen, the eldest son of the Qin family and Qin Wanqing's older brother.

However, after this young master of the Qin family arrived, he kept exchanging pleasantries with others, completely ignoring Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing, and had no intention of greeting them at all.

If he hadn't seen it, that would have been fine, but Ye Bai clearly remembered that as soon as Qin Xiuwen arrived, Shen Lu couldn't help but excitedly call out "Young Master".

Qin Xiuwen's gaze immediately fell upon them, but after lingering on Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing for a few seconds, he turned away again and chatted enthusiastically with the others.

Clearly, Qin Xiuwen's dislike for Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing has now escalated to the point where he's no longer even bothering to pretend.

"Heh, he thinks he's doing very well, but he's just a pawn being used by others."

Qin Wanqing sneered, her pretty face full of disdain.

Ever since Qin Xiuwen believed that her father, Qin Shengjin, had been cursed to death, the relationship between the siblings completely broke down.

She did try her best to repair it, but Qin Xiuwen only became more and more outrageous.

Especially after the other party started working at the Governor's Office, he seemed to have become a completely different person.

Perhaps it was her true nature coming out, or perhaps she had been brainwashed, but in any case, Qin Xiuwen was no longer the older brother who used to protect her in everything.

Qin Wanqing was naturally very saddened by this change at first, after all, Qin Xiuwen was one of her few close relatives in this world.

But if you experience sadness too often, you'll not only gradually become numb to it, but it will also leave scars.

Even the warmest heart will slowly cool down if it's soaked in cold water all day.

Especially after her legs suddenly became paralyzed, Qin Wanqing witnessed firsthand the true colors of those so-called relatives.

No one fails to grow after experiencing the harsh realities of life, unless they're a fool.

Now, in the entire Qin family, there are only two people she truly considers family.

Old Madam Qin is one, Qin Shuang is half, and the other half is her second brother, Qin Xiuwu.

As for Ye Bai and Shen Lu... neither of them is related to the Qin family by blood, so they are naturally not included.

In addition, Qin Xiuwen's brothers, uncles, aunts, and other relatives were all classified as "outsiders".

Therefore, Qin Wanqing doesn't care at all how Qin Xiuwen treats her.

Moreover, based on her understanding of that man, he was clearly a hypocrite with high aspirations but low abilities.

They have only average abilities and talents, yet they are arrogant and unrealistic, and are being taken advantage of without even realizing it.

This kind of personality, unless one can always have smooth sailing, will become discouraged and unable to recover once they encounter setbacks.

Ye Bai certainly didn't care about the future of this cheap brother-in-law. He just kept observing Qin Xiuwen's eyes, trying to confirm whether the sinister gaze he felt at Chen Jingmei's villa that night really came from this guy.

No matter how he looked at it, Ye Bai had a vague feeling that it wasn't the same person.

But if it wasn't Qin Xiuwen, then who could it be?

Chen Jingmei was definitely not home at the time, unless there was another person in the villa!

Just then, Qin Wanqing suddenly moved closer to him, her breath sweet as orchids, and asked, "Isn't the female secretary in the Governor's Office very beautiful?"

Queen Qin's voice was absolutely melodious and pleasant to the ear, and her tone was very gentle at this moment, but Ye Bai was startled and instantly felt a terrifying killing intent.

"There's no such thing as a female secretary..."

Ye Bai was a little confused. Just as he was about to ask what was wrong with this woman all of a sudden, his gaze suddenly fell on someone next to Qin Xiuwen.

It was a woman, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, not very tall, about 1.6 meters.

She was wearing a gray business suit and had a slender figure.

But she was very beautiful, with delicate eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a small and straight nose, and extremely exquisite features.

Her skin was also very fair, and even if she looked like she wasn't wearing any makeup, she would still outshine most of the women in the auditorium.

She was no less beautiful than Zhu Daji, only slightly inferior to Qin Wanqing.

But heavens behold, this woman was beautiful, but Ye Bai hadn't noticed her at all before.

His attention was focused on Qin Xiuwen, thinking about what happened that night, and he had no interest in paying attention to anyone else.

If Qin Wanqing hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't have noticed her for a while.

Women aren't gold bars; no matter how beautiful they are, it's hard for them to attract Ye Bai's attention.

"I……"

Ye Bai wanted to explain, but Qin Wanqing interrupted him with a cold laugh as soon as he uttered a single word.

"Hehe, take a look if you want, your eyeballs probably won't last more than a few days."

Sensing the chilling killing intent in Queen Qin's words, Ye Bai suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Qin Wanqing said calmly, "It's nothing. I saw a news report a couple of days ago that the city hospital is in dire need of corneas and is appealing to the public for donations. I think you also have an obligation to do your part."

"...Qin Bapi, you're too ruthless! You've been withholding my wages in all sorts of ways, treating me like a beast of burden without even feeding me, and now you're even eyeing my corneas? Are you even human?"

Ye Bai was stunned. At this moment, he realized that he had clearly underestimated the extent of Queen Qin's ruthlessness.

Not only have they embezzled money, but now they're even stealing organs.

"Pah! You filthy scoundrel!"

Qin Wanqing blushed as if she had thought of something again, and reached out to pinch Ye Bai's waist.

"??"

Ye Bai was completely bewildered, and felt increasingly that he couldn't live like this anymore.

"Ye Bai, you're here too!"

At that moment, a clear and ethereal voice rang out, filled with unspeakable joy.

However, it was Han Mengmeng, who came with Han Anguo, the president of the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce, who saw Ye Bai and quickly walked over.

"Yo yo yo, Mengmeng is here too. Are we going to play cards?"

At the same time, Zhu Daji's charming and seductive voice came from the side as she sat down in their direction.

Upon seeing this, Shen Lu, who was sitting next to Qin Wanqing, was completely dumbfounded, her mouth agape wide enough to fit the host's microphone.

With all the big and little demons gathered together, is Miss preparing to fight the White Bone Demon three times in a little while?
