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

At the Luo family's old house, Luo Feng saw Ye Xiao walking over alone and burst into laughter.

"So, Mr. Ye, you've come to propose marriage?"

Ye Xiao rolled his eyes at Luo Feng, then sat down in front of him without a care, picked up the tea that Luo Feng had already brewed for him, and drank it without hesitation.

"This tea is good."

"Not bad, right? I spent a lot of money to buy this. If you like it, take some back with you."

"Tch, as if I didn't do anything. Let's get down to business."

"Alright, let's get down to business. Since you've come to propose, then..."

"Wait, what do you mean I've come to propose marriage?"

"Huh? You're not here to propose marriage? Then what are you doing here?"

"Of course, it's to give you a chance to propose marriage to our Ye family."

Luo Feng: ......

What does it mean to reverse the Heavenly Gang? This is what it means to reverse the Heavenly Gang!

"Don't even think about 'what does it mean to rebel against the Heavenly Gang?' This is what it means to rebel against the Heavenly Gang!" I'm giving your Luo family a chance to propose marriage to our Ye family. If you don't, the Lin family might beat you to it, and you don't want the Lin family to get there first, do you...?

Shameless! Absolutely shameless!

Luo Feng was furious at Ye Xiao's shameless words, but he couldn't say anything because Lin Ba, the head of the Lin family, was also coming today.

Just as he was thinking this, the butler walked in.

"Master, Mr. Lin Ba, the head of the Lin family, has arrived."

"Let him in."

A moment later, Lin Ba walked in, but when he saw Ye Xiao, he paused for a moment, and then smiled.

"Oh, looks like you have guests, Brother Luo."

Lin Ba was truly surprised to find that Ye Xiao was also there.

Ye Xiao is the head of the Ye family and is very famous in the Dragon Kingdom. How could Lin Ba not know him?

even......

Lin Ba couldn't help but glance at Ye Xiao again, and sighed inwardly.

He had originally planned to discuss the alliance between the Luo and Lin families with Luo Feng today, but it seems he might also have to discuss the marriage alliance between the Ye and Lin families...

"Brother Lin, please have a seat."

Luo Feng stood up and went to greet him, then introduced him to Lin Ba.

"This is Ye Xiao, the head of the Ye family, the most powerful of the eight major families in Haicheng."

Then he turned around and introduced Lin Ba to Ye Xiao.

"Brother Ye, this is Lin Ba, the head of the Lin family, one of the three major families in the capital. Although you have never met, you must have heard of his name."

I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it. How could I not have heard of it after all the trouble your Lin family's eldest daughter caused?

Like Lin Ba, Ye Xiao also felt that the Lin family would eventually become in-laws with the Ye family. In addition, both the Lin and Ye families were among the most prestigious families in the Dragon Kingdom, so Ye Xiao also knew something about Lin Ba, even though they had never met.

Ye Xiao stood up and extended his hand to Lin Ba.

"Master Lin, I have long admired your name."

"Patriarch Ye, me too."

Lin Ba also reached out his hand, while inwardly sighing with admiration.

Xuehuang, for your sake, your father is really going to risk his reputation this time.

After the two sat down, Luo Feng asked the servants to serve tea again.

After a while, Lin Ba looked at Luo Feng, and then at Ye Xiao.

"Brother Luo, I came here today to discuss the cooperation between the Luo family and the Lin family, and then talk to the Ye family. But since Brother Ye is here too, let's finish our discussion in one go."

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation?"

Although Ye Xiao knew what Lin Ba meant, he pretended not to know and acted as if he didn't understand.

Anyway, we are in the better position now, as the Lin family wants to cooperate with the Ye family.

Lin Ba, being an old fox himself, knew exactly what Ye Xiao was thinking. However, it wasn't a big deal, so he smiled and got straight to the point.

"Of course, it's all-round cooperation. Your Ye family is the leader of the eight major families in the south, and our Lin family is not bad in the north either. In addition, there is the Luo family, which is known as the number one wealthy family in the country. If our families join forces, not to mention the country, no one in the world can stop us."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Brother Lin, your idea is excellent, but I have a question."

"Please speak."

"Your daughter is pursuing my son, and now you're coming to me to discuss a business deal? Are you trying to do both business and personal things at the same time?"

Lin Ba laughed and followed Ye Xiao's words to bring the two closer, addressing him as "Brother Ye".

"Brother Ye, you're joking. Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters. I can tell the difference."

"Really? I heard your daughter has been causing a lot of trouble lately. What's going on there?"

Hearing Ye Xiao's teasing, Lin Ba sighed.

"Hehehe, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I can't control her affairs, I can't control them at all. Brother Ye, you don't know, I've spoiled that girl since she was little. She can chase whoever she wants, I won't interfere."

"So, Brother Lin, you're saying that cooperation is one thing, but matters concerning your children are another?"

Lin Ba smiled and nodded.

"right."

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and put down his teacup.

"Okay, then tell me, how do we plan to cooperate?"

Lin Ba took out his phone and pulled up one of the files. He was somewhat relieved because Lin Xuehuang had prepared detailed documents for the cooperation with the Ye family well in advance.

"This is my preliminary draft of the cooperation agreement. Brother Ye, please take a look."

Ye Xiao took the phone, casually flipped through a few pages, and roughly understood what was going on.

Business cooperation, resource sharing, intelligence exchange, military alliances... it can be said to be cooperation in almost every aspect.

A moment later, he looked up.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Lin, you're trying to tie everyone together."

"Naturally, it's a powerful alliance."

Lin Ba said with a smile.

"What about the Shen family? What will happen to them?"

"The Shen family?"

Lin Ba snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

"That old fox Shen Xing tried to drag me into this to deal with you guys, but I'm not falling for his tricks."

"So you've come to me seeking a collaboration?"

"On the one hand, I disdain the schemes and tricks of the Shen family; on the other hand, it's also because of Xuehuang."

Ye Xiao remained silent for a while.

"Okay, I agree, but the agreement needs to be changed."

"How should it be changed?"

"In terms of profit distribution, our Ye family will take 20%."

Lin Ba frowned.

"Twenty percent? Isn't that too much? If your family takes twenty percent, then the remaining families will only take eighty percent?"

He had considered that the Ye family would take more, but he hadn't expected them to take this much more.

"Not much. It's normal for the Ye family to contribute money, effort, and manpower, so taking 20% ​​is not a big deal. Oh, right, the Luo family will also take 20%; they also contributed money, effort, and manpower."

"But the Lin family isn't exactly shirking their responsibilities by not contributing any effort, manpower, or money."

"So, does your Lin family have any prodigies who can be compared to Ye Linyuan and Ye Qingyan of the Ye family, or Luo Qingyue of the Luo family?"

"No......"
