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

"What grudge do you have against the Qin family? Don't tell me it's because of the change of engagement. Although it is indeed a loss of face, it's not worth killing the other party over such a thing."

Ye Linyuan asked curiously, thus blocking their attempt to deceive him with their previous words.

"You still figured it out."

Zhang Xiaoya sighed and explained frankly.

"The Qin family is the head of the four hidden families, and they control a lot of resources and connections. So the marriage agreement between us and the Qin family was forced upon our family by the Qin family. It was precisely because our family thought that we would become members of the Qin family sooner or later that they did not invest much resources in us."

"Moreover, in order to ensure that we would not have a chance to regret it, the Qin family publicized our marriage agreement with them for a full twenty years, and even said that we were just breeding tools used by the Qin family to deepen cooperation with the three families."

"Yes, so from childhood to adulthood, we've grown up being mocked by others, and we've always wanted revenge for that!"

"Understood. One last question: Aren't you three afraid I'll swallow you all up too?"

"We are afraid, but we three families are more worried about falling behind the times and being gradually eliminated. As you know, no family rises without being stained with blood, unless it has stood for a hundred years and outlived all its enemies. Our three families have not been rising for long. Even the longest-standing Wang family has only been around for seventy years. So we three families still have quite a few enemies."

"So today we're going all in. It's either eat meat with Mr. Ye or go back and wait to die."

Ye Linyuan remained silent for a while.

"Okay, I agree."

"real?"

The three women's eyes lit up.

"real."

Ye Linyuan nodded.

"However, I have conditions."

"You said so, and we promise to convey it exactly as it is."

"First, you have no chance in the Thousand Days Kingdom market. You can only wait until I make my move against the next opponent, then you can all come at me together, and the profits will be distributed according to how much effort you put in."

"No problem, everyone understands that."

"Alright, secondly, when dealing with the Qin family, all three of you must go all out and don't even think about taking advantage of the chaos."

"this......"

"I know what you want to say, but how to persuade the heads of your three families is your own business."

The three women hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances, and finally nodded.

"All right."

After all, this is their last chance. If they don't give it their all, they'll regret it for the rest of their lives!

"third......"

Ye Linyuan looked at them, a smug smile appearing on his lips.

"From today onwards, the three of you are to sever all ties with the Qin family, including your engagement."

Wang Xiaoya pursed her lips.

"You don't need to tell us that; we never wanted to marry him in the first place."

Liu Weiyu nodded as well.

"That's right, we've wanted to call off the engagement for a long time, but we just haven't had the chance."

Wu Qianqian took a deep breath.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye. We'll go back today and break off the engagement with the Qin family. After that, we'll be yours."

Ye Linyuan: ......

No, I already have enough women around me, so please don't make things worse...

However, to be fair, these three are indeed great beauties, and it's nice to have a change of pace once in a while...

Seeing the glint in Ye Linyuan's eyes, Wu Qianqian immediately took out her phone, typed a message, and handed it to Ye Linyuan, while keeping an eye on the commotion on the second floor.

Room XX, Unit XX, Building XX, XX Community, XX District, Beijing

Zhang Xiaoya and Liu Weiyu, who were standing nearby, immediately understood and pointed to themselves and Wu Qianqian, their meaning clear.

Ye Linyuan immediately made a note of it, feeling it necessary to have a thorough discussion with Wu Qianqian, Zhang Xiaoya, and Liu Weiyu throughout the night.

"In that case, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"It's a pleasure working with you."

After the three women left, Luo Qingxuan and Luo Qingyue brought Luo Qingge downstairs. As soon as they came down, Luo Qingxuan couldn't help but ask.

"You filthy scoundrels, what did you talk about? Why did it take so long?"

Luo Qingyue sat on the sofa and said casually.

"Is there even a question? Naturally, the Wu family, the Liu family, and the Zhang family have allied with us."

"They want to form an alliance with us? No, really?"

"It's true, and I've agreed."

"Huh? You just agreed like that? Aren't you afraid the three companies will try to cheat you?"

"What are you afraid of? The Liu, Wu, and Zhang families are nothing special!"

Ye Linyuan smiled.

"And even if they try to cheat, I have ways to deal with them."

"You're that confident?"

"Of course, you can ask your sister if you don't believe me."

Luo Qingyue didn't expect the conversation to turn to her, but she still nodded.

"That's right. The Liu, Wu, and Zhang families are nothing. It would only take a few days to wipe them out. Don't think it's impossible. Since we formed an alliance with the Ye family, we have become much stronger in all aspects. In the past, it would have taken a lot of resources and several months or even half a year to wipe out the Liu, Wu, and Zhang families. But now, it's really easy."

Luo Qingxuan was somewhat surprised, never expecting that the Luo family would become so much stronger after forming an alliance with the Ye family. However, this was also because she didn't care much about the Luo family, and her heart was entirely focused on Luo Qingge.

Ignoring Luo Qingxuan's surprise, Ye Linyuan gently ruffled Luo Qingge's hair and said softly.

"Come on, little pigeon, shall we go to the Summer Palace today?"

"But......"

"No buts, let's go."

At 10 a.m., at the Summer Palace, as Ye Linyuan led Luo Qingge and Luo Qingxuan through the gate, he sensed that something was amiss.

Everyone around was looking at their phones, their faces filled with excitement. No one paid any attention to the scenery of the Summer Palace. Many people even hid in the shade of the trees and played on their phones with great enthusiasm.

This scene, where everyone seemed to be watching the drama unfold, immediately piqued the curiosity of the three individuals.

"You scoundrel, what serious incident has happened?"

"I don't know either. Should I ask around?"

Luo Qingxuan thought for a moment and then shook her head.

"Forget it, whatever. We came here to have fun today, so no matter what happens outside, it can't spoil our enjoyment. Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."

"Yes, let's go in then."

Thanks to Ye Linyuan's extremely keen senses, he pieced together the general situation from the snippets of conversation he overheard after walking only a short distance, and his expression instantly became extremely strange.

This is... trying to make myself look like I'm going to die a horrible death...
