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

Upon seeing the young man who had suddenly barged in, Zhang Heng immediately demonstrated what it means to go from arrogant to obsequious. The arrogance on his face vanished instantly, replaced by fawning flattery.

"Young Master Jiang, what brings you here? If you want a haircut, just give us a call, and our stylists and beauticians from Shangdi will come to your door."

"It's alright. I was just out for a stroll today because I had nothing else to do. I never expected to witness what it means to try to show off but end up getting slapped in the face instead."

The young man waved his hand, glanced at Ye Linyuan with disdain, and then turned his gaze to An Wangshu, unable to look away. If the circumstances allowed, he would have loved to stick his eyes right up to An Wangshu.

What a rare beauty! She's prettier than any of the internet celebrities I've ever dated!

With a little dressing up, she could probably rival the most famous beauties in the industry!

Feeling the gaze that seemed to want to devour her, An Wangshu felt uncomfortable and silently moved her feet, hiding behind Ye Linyuan.

If she had to choose someone to take advantage of her, she would rather choose Ye Linyuan...

If Ye Linyuan was initially angry because of the other party's condescending attitude, then as Zhang Heng acted like a servant towards this so-called "Young Master Jiang," Ye Linyuan's anger subsided considerably.

Who would lower themselves to get angry with a lackey?

And now, he's even a little happy!

He saw An Wangshu's little actions very clearly. What did that mean? It meant that under these circumstances, she regarded him as someone to rely on and believed that he would protect her. This was undoubtedly a step forward in their relationship!

Seeing that Young Master Jiang was interested in the girl opposite him, Zhang Heng immediately ran up to Young Master Jiang like a lackey and spoke arrogantly to Ye Linyuan and An Wangshu.

"This is Jiang Linzhou, the renowned third young master of the Jiang family in Haicheng. His status is beyond your imagination. With just a word from Young Master Jiang, he can send your entire family begging on the streets!"

"Of course, if you behave well, your whole family can also become rich and successful!"

"Alright, alright, Zhang Heng, keep it low-key. I don't need you to introduce me; I have my own mouth."

Although that's what he said, it's clear that Jiang Linzhou was still quite proud of his identity.

In the past, relying on his status as the third young master of the Jiang family, he had slept with countless so-called beauties, the only difference being how much money he spent.

"I'm telling you, if you lived in ancient times, with your servile appearance, it would be a waste that you didn't become a eunuch in the palace."

Ye Linyuan's words instantly made Zhang Heng's eyes turn red with anger, and he looked like he was about to devour someone.

Jiang Linzhou, however, didn't react much. In his opinion, Ye Linyuan wasn't cursing him anyway. Besides, Zhang Heng was just his dog. What master would get angry because his dog was insulted?

After slightly tidying his hair, Jiang Linzhou ignored Ye Linyuan and looked at An Wangshu, speaking in a deliberately deep voice.

"Hey beautiful, let me introduce you. My name is Jiang Linzhou. I'm considered quite influential in Haicheng. If you agree to go out with me for a couple of days, I'll take you to Shangdi Hair Salon for a haircut and a spa treatment, and I'll also buy you the latest LV bag, how about that?"

Seeing that An Wangshu still didn't speak, Jiang Linzhou took a few steps closer, ignoring Ye Linyuan, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and continued to speak smugly.

"You're still young and don't understand many things. Just know that if you're with your brother, he can easily give you 10 yuan a month in pocket money, if not a lot. How about that? That's much more generous than your boyfriend, isn't it?"

An Wangshu was already in a state of confusion because of Ye Linyuan's series of actions today. When Jiang Linzhou teased her at this moment, she subconsciously raised her leg and kicked him.

Right in the bullseye!

Wow, that was ruthless. Look at the force of that kick. Even if it didn't break, it must have been a serious injury.

Seeing Jiang Linzhou, his face turning a deep purplish-red, making incessant "hoarse" sounds, and slowly collapsing while clutching a certain area, every single man present, including Ye Linyuan, instinctively protected their own groins, fearing they too might suffer the legendary "chicken and egg" mishap...

"An Wangshu, you're awesome."

Seeing Ye Linyuan give her a thumbs up, An Wangshu's face turned red again, and she couldn't help but lower her head.

Just now, she really was just reacting instinctively...

"You bitch, do you think I don't know you're a prostitute? Stop pretending to be an innocent college girl. If I don't fucking kill you today, I'm not Jiang!"

"I swear, I'll bankrupt you all and make your whole families clean toilets!"

Jiang Linzhou, supported by Zhang Heng, was furious. Although he was the least favored one in the Jiang family this generation, he had never suffered any grievances since childhood. But today, he suffered the greatest grievance of his life, and he still felt excruciating pain.

No, I have to go to the hospital right away. If I'm crippled, what's the point of living?!

But before going to the hospital, he definitely wouldn't let that bitch get away with it!

Upon hearing Jiang Linzhou's roar, the passersby who had only come to watch the commotion were instantly thrown into uproar. Everyone looked at An Wangshu with the eyes of someone looking at scum of society, and the next moment, the discussion started and couldn't be stopped.

"I knew it! That woman's hair was all messy, and she didn't look rich at all. Turns out she's a prostitute."

"Judging from her age, she's about the same age as my daughter, probably a college student? It's true that the world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be."

"Hehehe, maybe she's in trouble at home, which is why she's selling herself. For example, she might have a gambling father, a sick mother, or a brother who's still in school, which is why she's helpless."

"That makes sense, but this girl is really inexperienced. I wonder how many times she does it once."

"I know that. It costs a thousand a night. If you want to play something else, you have to pay extra. We played quite a lot last time, and it cost me three thousand in total."

"Really? This girl's got looks, a thousand for a night is a good deal, bro, how's it going?"

"Is that even a question? She's incredibly inexperienced."

"..."

Hearing the foul language around her, An Wangshu's face turned extremely pale, her eyes lowered, her hands clenched into fists, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Is this what Ye Linyuan wanted?

Yes, I knew it! How could a mere barbershop dare to stop someone of his status? It turns out they were all trying to ruin my reputation!

These people, these people must all be actors he bought off long ago!

But why do you have to do this to me? I knew I would accept whatever you did to me as atonement, but why do you have to humiliate me in the most shameful way...?

Thinking of this, An Wangshu's eyes reddened and welled up with tears, threatening to burst at any moment.

Just as Jiang Linzhou was experiencing the legendary pain of losing everything, listening to the malicious gossip around him, and thinking about how he would torment An Wangshu afterward, a tremendous force grabbed his head and slammed it to the ground. At the same time, Ye Linyuan's voice rang out.

In just one stroke, his face was covered in blood, and he even felt that his nose had broken off...

"You bastard, do you even know who I am? I'm the third young master of the Jiang family!"

"Yes, yes, I understand, Young Master Jiang."

Ye Linyuan gave a perfunctory reply, not giving Jiang Linzhou a chance to say a second word, and stuffed him into the non-recyclable waste bin that he had already selected, just like picking up a chick.

"Your breath stinks, did you grow up eating garbage? I'm being kind today, so I'll allow you to eat your main course in front of me."

After dealing with Jiang Linzhou, Ye Linyuan turned to look at the passersby who were gossiping around him.

"I'm telling you, are you all blind? You don't know anything but you presumptuously insult others."

"Is your brain filled with water? If not, should I pry it open and spill some water in?"

"Or is this guy your ancestor, and you believe everything he says? If he says your whole family eats shit, does that mean you do?"

Ye Linyuan's words carried the natural aura of a superior, instantly stunning the surrounding people who were discussing. The next moment, someone couldn't help but retort.

"Then how do you know she's not a prostitute!"

With one person taking the lead, the others, not wanting to be outdone, eagerly spoke up as well.

"Exactly, you're all in cahoots! Why would we trust you instead of others?!"

"That's right, that's right, I can't be wrong, someone like her is definitely a prostitute!"

"You're no better than me. Judging from your behavior just now, you're definitely a thug. Thugs and prostitutes, a perfect match!"

"..."

Seeing the expressions on the faces of those around him who seemed to think the two of them were a thug and a prostitute, Ye Linyuan sneered and spoke calmly.

"I hope that when our legal team comes to you, you will still be so self-righteous. There have been state-of-the-art cameras here for four years, and everything that is said is recorded."

"If I remember correctly, the crime of fabricating and disseminating fictitious facts that are sufficient to damage another person's character and reputation is called defamation."

"The penalty for defamation is not severe, which is imprisonment for up to three years, detention, probation, or deprivation of political rights. Don't worry, our legal team will appeal for up to three years."

Ye Linyuan's words were not loud, but they overwhelmed everyone. Looking at the man in the center of the room with his arms crossed, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, as if a great calamity was about to befall them...

"Who are you trying to scare? Who do you think you are!"

"Exactly, exactly. They even sent a legal team to us? Do you think we're easy to scare?"

"What are you pretending for? A lowly thug doesn't think he's the King of Heaven!"

"Do you think the court is your private property, where you can decide what sentence to give? It requires facts and evidence!"

"That's right, everyone, don't be afraid. No matter who he is, the law won't punish everyone!"

"..."

Ye Linyuan glanced at the passersby who were pointing the finger at him, sneered, and prepared to retort.

Just then, Ye Linyuan felt his clothes being tugged, and then a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz entered his ears.

"Please, take me with you."

"I'll do anything you want, just take me away. Please don't humiliate me in front of so many people. Let's go, please. I'm begging you."
