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

Patting An Wangshu on the shoulder, Ye Linyuan felt that he should find some time to have a good talk with her. No matter what, he was the one who took her place and enjoyed everything the Ye family had to offer.

After all, in the original story of the real and fake young master, he, the fake young master, was truly favored. Many people in the Ye family, even though they knew it was him, the fake young master, who was causing trouble, supported him. On the contrary, they looked down on the real young master in the original story. Even Old Master Ye sided with him, the fake young master.

However, for the true young master, these so-called relatives are enemies. This is why the true young master showed no mercy when he attacked the Ye family after he turned to the dark side, and even wanted to scatter his own father's ashes.

What is good medicine to me is poison to him; it's all the same.

Of course, Ye Linyuan wouldn't be so despicable as to bully the Ye family's own daughter knowing the whole story, especially since everything now is so different from the novel about the real and fake young masters in his memory—the real young master has become the real heiress...

Therefore, I must have a heart-to-heart talk with An Wangshu, this real daughter.

Ye Linyuan felt that it was not easy to persuade someone to let go of their grievances, especially someone who had been bullied by their family for four years.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is a stone worn away by dripping water. If he could really stop Zhen Qianjin's descent into darkness with just a few words, then he felt he must have unknowingly acquired the skill of "talking nonsense."

Ye Linyuan was prepared for this. If he could persuade her, then everyone would be happy and everything would be fine. But if he still couldn't stop her from turning evil, then for the sake of the Ye family and for his own sake, he was not one to be soft-hearted!

A terminally ill patient who is driven by money might not mind taking someone down with them before they die!

Having made up his mind, Ye Linyuan yawned and spoke to Ye Xiao and the others.

"Dad, eldest sister, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, and fifth sister, I'm a little tired today, so I'm going to rest now."

Hearing Ye Linyuan's obviously tired voice, Ye Xiao and his daughter couldn't help but glare at An Wangshu again. If their son/A Yuan hadn't been clearly protecting her, they would have definitely taught this jinx a lesson today!

Ye Xiao swallowed hard, barely managing to choke back the insults directed at An Wangshu, before smiling and speaking to Ye Linyuan.

"Yes, yes, it's late today. Son, you've been on a plane all day, you must be tired. You should rest first. Your room is ready, it's your usual bedroom. Get some rest tonight."

Ye Xiao turned his head and looked at his five precious daughters. Looking into their bright, sparkling eyes, he said helplessly.

"You five should go to bed early tonight. Our son is very tired today. Don't act up like you always do..."

Seeing that his five precious daughters clearly didn't take his words to heart, Ye Xiao couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

"Forget it, daughters grow up and leave home. Do as you please, just don't stay up too late."

Anyway, the son isn't their own flesh and blood. As the saying goes, "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders." Whoever ends up being the son's bedmate depends on their own abilities.

However, on the other hand, the daughters of those families who wanted to marry their son seem to be quite capable, some even being outstanding young women as independent as their eldest daughter. I wonder if my five precious daughters will be outmatched by them...

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but shake his head, sighing inwardly.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. In the end, it is the son who makes the choice. As long as the son likes her, who cares who she is? As for the old man's requirements, they can be fulfilled if they can, and forgotten if they can't. What era are we living in? Who cares about such feudal dregs as bloodlines?

Besides, the Ye family has no shortage of money, connections, or background!

Seeing Ye Linyuan go upstairs and hearing the door close, Ye Qingyan's smile vanished instantly, and she spoke calmly to her four younger sisters.

"Remember our promise."

Ye Qingxin played with the watch Ye Linyuan had given her, and spoke with the same expressionless face.

"Don't worry, I won't forget."

Seeing this, Ye Qingcheng rubbed her head, raised her hand, and asked weakly.

"Big sister, second sister, do we really need to do this? As long as A-Yuan is happy, that's all that matters."

Ye Xi and Ye Xin, who were sitting next to Ye Qingcheng, nodded in agreement.

"Yes, eldest sister, second sister, A-Yuan is clearly so talented, why do you have to find a way to ruin him?"

Ye Qingyan didn't speak, but turned to look at Ye Qingxin, who sighed helplessly.

"We all know how outstanding A-Yuan is, but precisely because A-Yuan is so outstanding, he's practically a goldmine for the opposite sex. You don't want to have countless rivals, do you?"

Before Ye Qingcheng, Ye Xi, and Ye Xin could speak, Ye Qingyan continued.

"And you don't really think our only opponents are women, do you?"

What?????

Ye Qingcheng suddenly stood up, pointed at Ye Qingyan, and stammered as she asked.

"Big sister, I... I didn't appear just now. Were you hallucinating? You... you... you're saying our opponents aren't just women?"

Ye Qingyan nodded.

"What's so strange about that? There are plenty of people in this circle who play all sorts of tricks. It's normal for men to like men. Take Mo Zhuo from the Mo family, for example. He's been paying attention to everything about A Yuan since he was a child, and he always tries to get A Yuan's attention."

"And then there's Xiao Yu from the Xiao family; I've discovered he's asked around about A Yuan more than once. And Gu Tiange from the Gu family, Bai Hong from the Bai family, Yan Weida from the Yan family..."

"There are definitely more than ten, if not twenty in total."

Silence, a deathly silence, filled the Ye family's living room with only the sound of breathing.

"But A-Yuan is a boy, he must like girls."

After a moment, Ye Xi slowly spoke.

"I didn't say that A-Yuan would like men. What I meant was that even men are attracted to A-Yuan, let alone women. You don't want A-Yuan to leave us again without saying goodbye because of other women, do you?"

"Last time it was four years, this time it might be fourteen years, forty years, or even a lifetime!"

"So, if we want A-Yuan to stay with us, we have to prevent those flashy, cheap women outside from seeing how good A-Yuan is. So, do you still have any questions about our plan to raise A-Yuan like a useless child?"

After glancing around and seeing that none of her four younger sisters were saying anything, Ye Qingyan nodded and gave a summary in her usual cool voice.

"It seems no one has any objections, so let's proceed according to the previous plan. We'll give A-Yuan whatever he wants. In short, we can't let anyone else see his excellence!"

"By the way, the fact that the Red Leaf Group is owned by Ayuan must be known only to our family, otherwise..."

"Understood!" X4
