The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Just as Ye Xiao was selling Ye Linyuan off in a big fire sale, at the Su family's old mansion, Ye Linyuan was smiling broadly at Pei Sijing, who looked smug.

The surrounding guests looked at Ye Linyuan with a variety of expressions, some full of regret, some excited, some eager to try, and some greedy. In short, they had all sorts of thoughts.

"Who would have thought? The renowned number one young talent in Haicheng isn't actually of the Ye family bloodline. The Ye family is utterly useless!"

"Hahaha, you're right. The Ye family is known as the head of the eight great families in Haicheng. They are the leading family in the south, but they don't even know that their most valued heir is not their own child. It seems that the Ye family is nothing but a paper tiger."

"I knew it! How could the Ye family, a family that only produces daughters and is dominated by women, possibly have a boy like Ye Linyuan? So he's not of the Ye family bloodline after all."

"Hey? You guys think that if Ye Linyuan isn't of the Ye family bloodline, then what about the other members of the Ye family? They might not be of the Ye family bloodline either?"

"Hahaha, if you put it that way, it's actually quite possible!"

"You two, don't be stupid! You can discuss Ye Linyuan not being of the Ye family bloodline, since Pei Sijing seems to have solid evidence. But if you dare say the other young ladies of the Ye family aren't of the Ye family bloodline, believe me, she'll bankrupt your family tomorrow."

"Yes, she's such a grown woman, doesn't she know that loose lips sink ships?"

"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha, bro, you didn't hear anything, right? Please, you absolutely must not have heard anything."

"..."

Hearing the surrounding people discussing Ye Linyuan, Pei Sijing's smile became even brighter, and he felt a sense of certainty of victory!

At this moment, in the very center of everyone's attention, Ye Linyuan seemed oblivious to the gazes around him, simply looking at Pei Sijing with a faint smile, like a clown in disguise.

This arrogant attitude made Pei Sijing, who thought he had victory in his grasp, unable to keep up. Even the smug smile on his face froze. His face, which originally looked somewhat refined and handsome, now looked strange and distorted.

"Ye Linyuan, what kind of look is that? Let me tell you, you're just a child the Ye family picked up, not the eldest young master of the Ye family at all. Without the Ye family identity, do you think you can still be so powerful, surrounded by women, and all that power? Let me tell you, the first people to deal with you will be the Ye family!"

Pei Sijing roared while carefully observing Ye Linyuan, trying to see some panic and confusion on his face.

Unfortunately, his idea was destined to fail.

For Ye Linyuan, being the eldest son of the Ye family was merely an added bonus and would not affect him as a person. Whether in his past life or this life, he only believed in one truth.

Blacksmith need its own hardware!

Moreover, his relationship with the Ye family was so deep that they were now practically his sons!

What's that old saying again? A son-in-law is like half a son!

If we follow this logic, he would be equivalent to five sons-in-law, which would be equivalent to 2.5 sons.

If you add the perpetually crazy third sister, Ye Qingcheng, that makes six sons-in-law, which translates to three sons.

In this situation, would the Ye family target him?

That's an absolute joke!

As Ye Linyuan pondered this, a slight smile unconsciously appeared on his lips, a sight that infuriated Pei Sijing.

Is this bastard making fun of himself? He's definitely making fun of himself!

Damn it! This bastard is about to lose everything, what right does he have to laugh at me?!

"Laughing at you? No, no, no, I just have more developed facial muscles, I didn't mean to laugh at you at all."

Ye Linyuan's smile widened, making Pei Sijing's eyebrows twitch. Ye Linyuan's next sentence almost made him choke with anger.

"Someone like you, who only knows how to pull off petty tricks, dares to be laughed at by me? Sorry, but that's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my 21 years of life."

"Ye Linyuan, you bastard! You shameless! You have no shame! You're disgusting!"

Pei Sijing, true to her civilized nature, only ever said the same few phrases over and over, until Ye Linyuan was practically sick of them. He reached up and rubbed his ear, putting on an expression of listening attentively. This infuriated Pei Sijing, turning her face bright red, veins bulging on her forehead, and even a hint of heat rising from it.

In a fit of rage, my blood was rushing too fast, and the air conditioning was set way too low...

Seeing that Pei Sijing was getting tired of talking, Ye Linyuan slowly began to speak.

"Don't panic, don't rush. You're still young, you have plenty of time, so you can speak slowly."

Upon hearing this, Pei Sijing's blood pressure rose again, and his eyes turned bloodshot. He couldn't understand why, when he had clearly grasped Ye Linyuan's weakness, it seemed like the tables had turned now? Was it Ye Linyuan who was holding his weakness?

Seeing that Pei Sijing was speechless for the time being, Ye Linyuan chuckled, stepped forward, picked up his investigation report, and praised him with a smile.

"Mr. Pei's investigation report is very detailed; it's almost like he dug up my ancestors for eighteen generations. But I'm quite curious. Isn't what you're doing a violation of citizens' right to privacy?"

After saying that, Ye Linyuan turned his head and looked at Shen Wanmeng, who was not far away, with a worried expression.

"Captain Shen, I'm not sure if what I said is correct? If it is, please correct me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanmeng, though unsure of what Ye Linyuan was up to, still shook her head.

"Young Master Ye is right. Mr. Pei has indeed violated the citizen's right to privacy. If Young Master Ye wants to sue him, I can arrest him right now."

"If the Yuan family doesn't have enough lawyers, our Xiao family's legal team can help!"

"Our Liu family's legal team is ready to assist you at any time."

"Our Mohist school can also help."

"And our Bai family too."

"You underestimate the Ye family. Do you really need your help with such a trivial matter? Our Ye family's legal team can sue him so badly he'll never be able to get out!"

As Shen Wanmeng finished speaking, Su Yurou, Liu Yanran, Ye Xi, Ye Xin, Bai Yu, Gu Shishi, and Mo Feifei all stood beside Ye Linyuan and chimed in with their support.

This scene instantly wiped away the last bit of smugness on Pei Sijing's face.

At this moment, Pei Sijing felt as if he had swallowed a huge mouthful of maggots...

I feel so nauseous I feel like throwing up!

Why? Why is it that Ye Linyuan always has someone standing by his side, supporting him?

Previously, one could assume that these women were surrounding him because of his status as the eldest son of the Ye family.

But now, he has been disgraced and no longer has the status of the eldest son of the Ye family, so why do these women still support him so much?

Why? Why is this happening?
