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

Qin Wanqing, Zhu Daji, and Han Mengmeng ultimately did not truly fight each other.

Of course, it wasn't because these three women had changed their ways, and it certainly wasn't because of Ye Bai.

But just as Zhu Daji and Han Mengmeng sat down, before the three women could even exchange blows, another group of people arrived.

Tu Baili, Vice President of the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce and Head of the Tu Family.

Beside him were the Tu siblings, a renowned figure among the younger generation of wealthy families in Jingzhou, whose fame was practically universal.

The butcher was dressed in an expensive suit, but his fleshy face still made him look like he had just come down from a pork stall, giving him an incongruous appearance.

Tu Shan was still dressed in a white Hanfu, looking very beautiful, but it was hard to tell if she would catch a cold in this freezing weather.

Perhaps because she was going to be in a crowded place, even her profile would be easily seen, so Miss Tu simply covered her face with a white veil today.

With the jade flute he was carrying, anyone who didn't know better would think he was an actor who had just returned from filming at a movie studio.

Fortunately, Tu Baili was already immune to the eccentricities of his children, and he didn't care about the strange looks from the crowd. He chatted with Qin Wanqing and sat down as well.

The Tu family and the Qin family are even closer than the Zhu family. The Tu family basically follows the Qin family's lead in everything. The Tu family is the Qin family's most important ally in the circle of wealthy families in Jingzhou, without exception.

"My niece, Wanqing, I've heard a rumor, though I don't know if it's true or not, but it's said that someone will try to harm you at this auction..."

After Tu Baili sat down, he didn't hide anything and gave a low reminder.

Clearly, like Zhu Tianming, the Tu family also possessed some inside information.

However, Tu Baili also did not know who the other party was.

……

"I heard that Mi Zizhen was learning martial arts from you before, and he almost got beaten to death?"

On the other side, Tu Jiang looked Ye Bai up and down and asked with some curiosity.

"...These two things are not the same thing at all, okay?"

Ye Bai's face darkened, and he felt even more that this young master of the Tu family was very bad at conversation.

What do you mean by saying that Mi Zizhen almost got beaten to death after learning martial arts from him? Although both of these things are true, putting them together makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Those who don't know the truth would think that Ye Bai's master was too incompetent, which caused this result.

Some superstitious people even believe that Ye Bai, the master, brought misfortune upon his disciple.

Otherwise, why was Mi Zizhen perfectly fine for so many years before becoming Ye Bai's apprentice, and able to escape danger even when she encountered it while filming? But after only a short time with Ye Bai, she almost died.

If it's just a coincidence, then it's really too much of a coincidence.

Tu Shan clearly thought so, so before Tu Jiang could speak, she nodded and said, "It's the same thing. Mi Zizhen was almost killed by you. It's mystical."

After the last feng shui incident, the eldest daughter of the Tu family, who had originally firmly resisted risk and superstition, suddenly became superstitious.

"Sure enough, you've started bringing bad luck to others since you married Qin Wanqing! You'd better get a divorce quickly, or you'll be next."

Zhu Daji nodded in agreement.

"Seconded."

This time, Han Mengmeng actually chose to stand on the same side as Zhu Daji. With Queen Qin present, the two fairies were clearly preparing to join forces.

"You're the ones who bring bad luck! My young lady and son-in-law are both very nice!"

Shen Lu was so angry that her face was almost puffed up like a big bun as she glared at the three women.

"Don't meddle in adults' business, little brat. Go play with the hammer."

Zhu Daji had always liked Shen Lu, so she wasn't annoyed by what she heard.

As for Han Mengmeng and Tu Shan, they simply didn't bother to even glance at the little girl, displaying an attitude of disdain for minors.

Seeing this, Ye Bai felt even more overwhelmed. Just as he was wondering how to get away from these mentally unstable guys, the host on stage turned on the microphone and announced the official start of the auction.

Zhu Daji and Han Mengmeng both returned to the Zhu and Han families, which finally relieved Ye Bai.

But when his gaze fell on the brother and sister from the Tu family, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Tu Jiang, that guy, somehow pulled out a resistance band and started pulling it with some kind of "heave-ho" sound.

Completely ignoring the strange looks around him, he acted as if no one else was around.

In comparison, Tu Shan was much better—if she hadn't been standing by the window with her hands behind her back, striking a pose like a female knight-errant.

At this moment, Ye Bai truly felt sorry for Tu Baili.

Having such an eccentric pair of children, yet still not driven to death by anger, Tu Baili's mentality is absolutely top-notch, putting aside everything else.

Ye Bai asked himself honestly, if he were Tu's father, even if he were the most emotionally stable person, he would probably have been driven to death by anger long ago.

"If you see anything you like later, just take a picture of it, and I'll pay for it for you."

As the first item was brought out for auction, Qin Wanqing and Tu Baili ended their conversation and looked at Ye Bai, speaking in a low voice.

"so good?"

Ye Bai's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

Qin Bapi, who was always stingy, suddenly became so generous, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Since it's charity work, the Qin family should take the lead."

Qin Wanqing said calmly.

“The boss is awesome!”

Ye Bai gave a thumbs up and was about to raise his sign to test the waters when Qin Wanqing added another sentence.

"We'll deduct it from your salary gradually."

"Fuck!"

Ye Bai was startled and almost threw the sign away, so angry that he felt an urge to jump up and curse.

He said it was abnormal for Qin Laokou to be so generous all of a sudden, and it turned out that he would end up paying for it himself!

While it's true that capitalists are inherently ruthless, no one has ever been as ruthless as Queen Qin.

"Tch, look at how stingy you are! Don't worry, I was just kidding! With your salary, you probably won't be able to buy an auction item in your entire life."

Qin Wanqing snorted disdainfully, but felt a surge of satisfaction in her heart.

Every time she bullied this scumbag and saw him get his comeuppance, she felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

"...That woman has a really sharp tongue; anyone who kisses her will be poisoned to death!"

Ye Bai gritted his teeth in anger, so he simply reached out and put his arm through Qin Wanqing's cashmere coat, wrapping his arms around her slender waist.

I also pinched it a couple of times.

After spending so much time together, he now knows where Queen Qin's weakness lies.

He just doesn't usually like to use such rogue methods, feeling it would damage his image as a high-ranking figure in the Xuanmen sect.

But this woman is so boastful that Ye Bai is worried he'll suffocate if he doesn't do something about it.

As expected, Qin Wanqing, caught off guard, suddenly stiffened and almost instinctively cried out in surprise.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and managed to cover her mouth tightly with her hand.

At the same time, Ye Bai's large hand, which was placed on Queen Qin's waist, clearly felt Qin Wanqing's delicate body begin to tremble incessantly, and her body was becoming increasingly hot...
