"So you've agreed?" Bai Ningbing asked.

"Yes."

Ye Chen said earnestly.

After saying that, he signed the contract directly.

In this world, resources mean everything!

Even an ordinary person can bring home a Grandmaster-level expert as long as they have enough dowry!

However, Ye Chen was naturally not going to let go of such a great deal that he could get for free in a contract marriage.

Seeing the two words "Ye Chen" clearly printed on the contract, Bai Ningbing's expression remained unchanged.

She showed absolutely no emotional fluctuations because she had gained a husband.

"The investment contract has taken effect, and the post-nuptial agreement requires your personal signature. I'll come to you tomorrow to complete the formalities."

"it is good."

Ye Chen was in a great mood after signing the contract.

I'm finally going to be rich!

"Um... Ningbing? Is that okay to call you?"

Ye Chen asked tentatively.

The two are about to become husband and wife, and calling each other by name now feels somewhat distant.

Who would have thought...

"Can't!"

Bai Ningbing frowned slightly.

She seemed to dislike the way he addressed her.

Ye Chen gave an awkward laugh.

"Alright, Miss Bai."

Give me your address.

Ye Chen quickly gave the address, "Xingfu Road, Wangjiang City..."

"understood."

After saying that, Bai Ningbing hung up the phone.

Looking at the black screen, Ye Chen curled his lip indifferently.

Although this person's attitude towards him was not very friendly.

But since they are a contractual couple, it's understandable.

He didn't care what her reasons were for contacting him, as long as he paid her according to the contract!

Take what you need.

……

The capital of Qinghai Province.

Inside a luxurious villa at the Bai Family Manor.

"Young Miss, dinner is ready."

The maid knocked on Bai Ningbing's door.

Bai Ningbing came out and quietly went to the dining table.

There were already four people sitting at the table.

An elderly man, two middle-aged men, and a girl about the same age as Bai Ningbing.

As soon as she sat down, the elderly man at the head of the group looked over with concern: "Bing'er, did you take the medicine to suppress the toxins today?"

"Yes, I've already eaten."

Bai Ningbing responded calmly, and casually picked up a piece of her favorite deep-sea fish and put it in her mouth.

At this moment, a slightly older middle-aged man across from them spoke up again:

"Bing'er, your uncle has already reached an agreement with the Liu family. Although Liu Yan is a bit unreliable, his future achievements are bound to be high. Don't you want to reconsider?"

"Not considering it."

Bai Ningbing answered indifferently and continued eating by herself.

"Hey sis, stop thinking about that Chongyang. As far as I know, as soon as he heard you were poisoned by the Thousand Beast Origin, he disappeared without a trace. Why are you still thinking about such a heartless man!" the girl suddenly said indignantly.

"This is none of your business." Bai Ningbing's expression turned cold.

The girl persisted, "What do you mean it's none of my business! Go outside and see for yourself! All those people who used to fawn over you, who dares to mess with you now? They all keep their distance! Don't you know your own body?!"

"Jinhan, shut up!"

At this moment, another middle-aged man scolded the girl.

The older, middle-aged man sighed.

His eyes were filled with heartache as he looked at Bai Ningbing.

He slowly spoke, "Bing'er, your family has introduced you to so many people, have you really not liked any of them?"

Bai Ningbing seemed to have lost her appetite. She silently put down her chopsticks, shook her head, and said calmly, "No."

"Do you have someone you particularly like? Your third uncle will go for you..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking."

At this moment, the old man in the center suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone.

He stared intently at Bai Ningbing.

"Bing'er, the doctor said you have at most five years to live. Before that, you still have to choose one. After all, you are the only child in your father's lineage. If you cannot leave an heir, then the family shares that your father risked his life to acquire will have to be divided among the other younger members of the family."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of emotion finally crossed Bai Ningbing's eyes.

According to Bai family tradition, any family shares without an heir are first and equally distributed among all the younger generation of the Bai family, as a form of support for their growth.

The Bai family system is vast, with numerous branches.

Not everyone is as close to the families present here; some people don't even see each other once a year.

Shares distributed like this are no different from being given to strangers.

These shares were something her father had risked his life for, so of course she didn't want to give them away for nothing.

I thought about it.

She still said in a low voice:

"Grandpa, don't worry about Bing'er, Bing'er already has someone in mind."

"Sis, you've got someone in mind? Who is it?"

Bai Jinhan immediately showed a curious look.

In return, her father gave her a hard flick on the forehead, which made her immediately clutch her head in pain.

"Does Grandpa know him?" The old man's face had calmed down considerably.

"You probably don't know him; he's from a small place," Bai Ningbing said calmly.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.

People from small towns are often perceived as lacking status, background, or even talent.

They are inferior people!

This is a tacitly accepted practice in the upper echelons of Chinese society.

No one gained any followers, yet Bai Ningbing, who was always aloof and proud, made this choice.

"Grandpa, I'm going out tomorrow."

Before the old man could react, he hastily replied.

"Ah...oh, be careful on the road."

……

cluck cluck~

A stomach growl came from behind.

Ye Chen glanced at the time.

It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon before I knew it.

He quickly got dressed and went out.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard noises coming from next door.

Wang Cang poked his head out, looking at Ye Chen curiously, "Young friend Ye, where are you going?"

"Go buy groceries."

Ye Chen looked completely at ease.

"I see."

Wang Cang snapped out of his daze, quickly dressed, and followed Ye Chen with another person.

Ye Chen was both amused and exasperated.

"Brother Wang, I'm just going downstairs to buy groceries, you don't need to come with me, right?"

"Just pretend we don't exist."

Wang Cang waved his hand and insisted on accompanying him.

He dared not slack off.

Anyway, it's only a few days, it won't take long.

If Ye Chen had encountered problems before entering the university, even a hundred of him wouldn't be enough to kill him.

Seeing this, Ye Chen didn't say anything more and went straight downstairs.

"Young friend Ye, have you checked your phone?"

On the way, Wang Cang looked at him with a smile and asked.

Ye Chen nodded. "I've seen it. There's a frightening amount of information."

"Hehehe, you'll get used to it after a while."

Wang Cang laughed and said, "Geniuses are people everyone wants to befriend."

"Have you chosen your investors yet?"

Ye Chen glanced at him with a hint of regret.

This old guy still wants to get some benefits?

"Sorry, Brother Wang, we've already made our selections and signed the contracts."

"Oh? Which one?"

Wang Cang's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"The Bai family."

"Is it the Bai family from Qinghai Province?"

"Hmm, Brother Wang, do you know anything about them? Tell me about them?"

Wang Cang nodded as he walked, "The Bai family is quite powerful and has always been friendly to investors. With their support, you will have plenty of resources during your university years."

Ye Chen nodded silently.

It seems the Bai family has a pretty good reputation.

As they spoke, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the building.

Just as they were about to go out, the scene before them made the three of them stop in their tracks.

The once spacious entrance to the building was now completely blocked by people.

A row of neatly standing black men, numbering in the dozens.

Ye Chen sensed it.

They're all at the Body Tempering Realm!

At this moment, Wang Qian walked up with a smile.

"Examiner Wang, Ye Chen."

Wang Cang glanced at Wang Qian and said calmly, "Mayor Wang, what's going on here...?"

mayor?

Ye Chen was startled.

The mayor actually came in person!

This really surprised him.

It seems he underestimated the power of an S-level talent.

However, Wang Cang's attitude towards him...

They don't seem very friendly.
