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

The next morning, at the Luo family's dining table, Luo Qingge sat next to Ye Linyuan, keeping her head down and not saying a word. This made Luo Qingxuan, who was standing next to her, unable to bear it any longer. She nudged him with her elbow and whispered something.

"Qingge, isn't that Ayuan, the one you've been longing for the most, sitting next to you? Why are you not saying anything now that Ayuan is sitting next to you?"

Luo Qingge's face flushed red. She glanced involuntarily at Ye Linyuan's profile, then lowered her head and muttered softly.

"I...I...I don't know what to say..."

Sitting opposite her, Luo Qingyue couldn't help but tease her.

"Just say what you think, we're all family here."

Luo Qingxuan immediately followed up on Luo Qingyue's words.

"That's right, we're all family here. Qingge, have you forgotten that scoundrel said he wanted to marry all three of us yesterday? If he really does, then the four of us will be family, and we won't be outsiders anymore."

At the mention of this, Luo Qingge's face turned even redder, and she involuntarily turned her gaze to Ye Linyuan again, only to meet his doting eyes.

"Little pigeon, what do you want to tell me? Don't worry, whatever you say, A-Yuan will listen."

Encouraged by Ye Linyuan, Luo Qingge finally mustered up her courage, looked directly into Ye Linyuan's eyes, and spoke.

"Ah Yuan, you...you'll stay with Little Pigeon forever, won't you?"

"Of course, A-Yuan will always be with Little Pigeon."

Ye Linyuan smiled and pointed to Luo Qingyue and Luo Qingxuan beside him.

"Not only will A Yuan always be with Little Pigeon, but your eldest sister Luo Qingyue and second sister Luo Qingxuan will also always be with Little Pigeon."

As Ye Linyuan finished speaking, Luo Qingyue and Luo Qingxuan put down their chopsticks at the same time, smiled and nodded at Luo Qingge, and said in unison.

"That's right, your eldest/second eldest sister will always be with you."

Instantly, Luo Qingge's eyes reddened, and she nodded heavily without thinking.

"Yes, Little Pigeon believes in A-Yuan, believes in Eldest Sister, believes in Second Sister, and Little Pigeon will always be with everyone."

The four had just finished breakfast when Luo Feng came in from outside with a very bad expression. Without saying a word, he placed his phone directly in front of Ye Linyuan.

"Look at this news."

Ye Linyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked down and saw a major news story on the screen.

"The Haicheng Ye Group is suspected of monopolistic practices in multiple sectors, and the State Administration for Market Regulation has officially launched an investigation!"

At the same time, there was a line of smaller print below.

"It is reported that the Haicheng Ye Group is suspected of monopolistic practices in multiple industries. If verified, it will face huge fines of up to tens or even hundreds of billions of yuan, and may even be forced to break up!"

Ye Linyuan patiently read it all, and couldn't help but laugh.

"That's it? It seems that's all Principal Shen is capable of."

Upon seeing this, Luo Feng frowned and said somewhat speechlessly.

"You're still laughing? This is clearly the Shen family's retaliation! They're using their connections to get you!"

Luo Qingyue had finished reading the news and roughly understood what was going on. She apologized to Ye Linyuan somewhat embarrassedly.

"It seems the Shen family suffered a great loss at my hands, so they want to make up for it from your Ye family."

Ye Linyuan nodded.

"That's probably it, but they're too naive. Do they really think they can bring down the Ye family with these kinds of methods? Do they really think we, the Ye family, are easy targets?"

After saying that, Ye Linyuan picked up his phone and dialed Ye Qingyan's number.

"Sis, did you see the news?"

"I've seen it."

On the other end of the phone, Ye Qingyan's tone was calm, but those who knew her well knew that she was already a little angry.

"Was it the Shen family who did this?"

Ye Linyuan nodded, his tone quite casual.

"Yes, ma'am, they want to use the charge of monopoly against us."

"Hehehe, let them do it. Anyway, we don't have a monopoly. Ayuan, do we need to retaliate and teach the Shen family a lesson, make them calm down and learn their lesson?"

Ye Qingyan chuckled as she flipped through the news.

It was as if, in her eyes, the Shen family was not one of the three major families in the capital, but a fish on a chopping board, which she could cut however she wanted.

"No rush, let's see what other tricks they have up their sleeves. Then we'll have to trouble you to take action, big sister."

"No problem, A-Yuan, you stay in the capital for now and take care of your own affairs. I'll handle the Shen family's matter. Don't worry, I will make the Shen family pay an absolutely heavy price."

"Haha, then thank you for your hard work, big sister."

"It's not hard work. After all, I'm your sister. Just make it up to me when you come back."

Ye Linyuan: ......

Having too many women is a problem...

After chatting for a couple more minutes, Ye Linyuan hung up the phone with Ye Qingyan and looked at Luo Feng.

"Did you hear that, Patriarch Luo? The Shen family is nothing to us. So what if they have over 5 trillion in assets? People are the ones who manage assets, and the Shen family is just a nobody in our eyes."

Looking at the confident Ye Linyuan, Luo Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It seems he's really getting old. He reacts to the slightest disturbance as if facing a formidable enemy. In contrast, others remain unfazed even when Mount Tai collapses before them. If Ye Linyuan were in ancient times, he would undoubtedly be a king-like figure capable of pacifying the world on horseback and stabilizing the nation on foot!

At the same time, Ye Linyuan gently ruffled Luo Qingge's hair, his voice very gentle.

"Little pigeon, eat quickly, after you finish eating, A-Yuan will take you to find the Shen family's bad luck."

"Huh? The Shen family has already made a move, and you're still going to their place?"

"Why not go? They can do their thing, I'll do mine, we won't interfere with each other."

Ye Linyuan chuckled coldly, his tone becoming increasingly sinister.

"I want to see just how capable the Shen family really is."

Meanwhile, at the Shen family home, Shen Xiao, unusually, got up very early and sat in the living room. The slaps Ye Linyuan had given him yesterday hadn't healed yet, and his face was swollen like a steamed bun.

"Father, that bastard Ye Linyuan must leave me with the shame of yesterday. I will avenge him a hundredfold! I will humiliate Luo Qingge right in front of him!"

Shen Xing, the current head of the Shen family, sat in a grand chair and glanced at Shen Xiao indifferently. In his heart, his evaluation of his eldest son had already dropped a few points.

Although he has some ability, he is narrow-minded and incapable of achieving great things. If the Shen family hadn't been so lacking in capable young members, how could they have possibly appointed this good-for-nothing as the young patriarch?

Well, there's no one else to choose from now. I can only hope that this good-for-nothing can improve a bit.

Shen Xing sighed and slowly began to speak.

"Alright, Xiao'er, those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. Even Han Xin had to endure the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs before he became a military genius. If you want to achieve great things, you must never ruin the overall situation for your own selfish reasons. Do you understand?"

"Father, do you mean I should just swallow the anger from last night?"

"Foolish! When did I say you should swallow your anger from last night? I said you should treat Luo Qingge well. Only when you completely control Luo Qingge will you have control over the entire Luo family!"

"As for Ye Linyuan, Xiao'er, how many times have I told you to watch the news? You haven't seen today's news yet, have you? I've already had someone take action."
