I'm the villainous Dragon King? I start with a free 100-pull gacha pull for the female lead!

"Who wants to elope with you?" Su Qingyue glared at him. "Alright, alright, review your self-introduction in your mind. The second branch of the family will definitely make things difficult for you at the dinner party."

"No hair."

Ye Shu gave an OK sign.

At least in this respect, it's quite reliable.

Su Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief and led him to push open the door.

From the outside, the Su family's old house appears small and unremarkable, but its interior reveals a hidden world, clearly the result of clever spatial arrangement. Upon entering, one first encounters a small, exquisite courtyard planted with several green bamboo stalks, paved with bluestone slabs, exuding a serene and elegant atmosphere. Passing the screen wall, one finally sees the main hall.

At this moment, quite a few people were already seated in the main hall.

But the old man was nowhere to be seen.

Just as Ye Shu was wondering what was going on, she saw the old master's butler come up, bow slightly to Su Qingyue, and respectfully say, "Miss, the master has been waiting for you for a long time and is waiting for you in the study."

"As for the son-in-law... Master's idea is to let him get to know the second family and chat with them first. That way, it won't be so awkward during dinner later."

"Okay, Uncle Xu."

Su Qingyue nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Ye Shu, who was curiously fiddling with the mimosa plant, and said with a speechless expression, "Be careful when I'm not around. Those guys from the second branch of the family are always looking down on people and they never say anything nice. It's best not to talk to them."

"I understand, I understand."

Ye Shu nodded repeatedly.

After Su Qingyue left, he immediately rubbed his hands together, plucked the mimosa plant, put it in his mouth, and casually walked to the main hall and found a seat.

There were four people in the main hall: three men and one woman.

Upon seeing Ye Shulai, a middle-aged woman immediately stood up, shook hands with him, and said with a smile, "You must be Qingyue's boyfriend, right? I've been wanting to meet you for a long time. I'm her aunt, Zhou Shuqin, and this is her uncle, Su Mingyuan."

The middle-aged man, known as Su Mingyuan, raised his head, met his gaze, and greeted him.

Zhou Shuqin pointed to the other two and introduced them one by one.

"This is my son, Su Xiao, who just started college this year," she said, pointing to a young man sitting in a chair playing on his phone.

Su Xiao looked up and curiously sized up Ye Shu.

He had never seen a man who could make his sister fall head over heels for him before, and he didn't know what abilities this man had. But since it was someone his sister liked, he naturally had no objections.

"Hello, brother-in-law," Su Xiao greeted him.

After saying that, he went back to playing on his phone.

Ye Shu was somewhat surprised to hear this.

He could tell that the kid was completely sincere in his words, without the slightest hint of perfunctoriness.

That's interesting.

Then, Zhou Shuqin introduced another young man sitting in a chair, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looked refined and meticulous.

"This is Young Master Chen Yu. The Chen family and our Su family have been friends for generations. He came here specifically to visit our patriarch on behalf of Old Master Chen. It just so happens that you and Qingyue are back. It's quite a coincidence."

"I have long admired Brother Ye's name."

Chen Yu stood up, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and with a perfectly measured smile on his face, extended his hand to Ye Shu: "Mr. Ye, it's a pleasure to meet you. The last time I saw Qingyue was at my university graduation ceremony. When I returned to China, I was surprised to find that she already had a fiancé. Congratulations..."

Congratulations!

Ye Shu shook hands with him, feeling puzzled.

Logically speaking, Su Qingyue's visit to the old man with him was essentially a qualification check, but there happened to be an outsider present. Is it really that coincidental?

Ye Shu narrowed his eyes slightly.

The visitor is up to no good.

"We're all family, don't be so formal."

Zhou Shuqin smiled and took Ye Shu's hand, then found a seat.

She was initially a little worried, but at this moment...

All she wanted to do was laugh.

Look at the poor boy Su Qingyue brought back. He's dressed head to toe in cheap clothes from street stalls. Apart from his face, which is somewhat decent, he's utterly useless.

Her original intention was that if Su Qingyue remained unmarried until she was twenty-one, their second branch of the family could inherit the core assets of the Su family and thus gain power.

But that's practically impossible.

Even if Su Qingyue were a fool, she would never hand over the Su family to them.

Even if it's fake, you still need to find a man to cover it up.

But ultimately, the old man is the one who calls the shots in this family.

The old man said that Su Qingyue had to marry whomever he wanted; it was an arranged marriage by her parents and a matchmaker.

So she specially invited Chen Yu over.

Rather than letting Su Qingyue take power, or having some random man found from somewhere, at least Chen Yu, who was on good terms with their second wife, married Su Qingyue.

The second wife could still benefit a little and share some of the advantages, which was better than being completely kicked out by a poor boy of unknown origin.

In terms of family background, the Chen family and the Su family have been friends for generations, and the Chen family's influence is not much less than that of the Su family.

As for looks... let's leave that aside for now.

In terms of temperament, Chen Yu received aristocratic education from childhood, and he was the epitome of a refined young nobleman, with impeccable manners and behavior. If she weren't already middle-aged, she would have wanted to marry into the Chen family herself and become the first wife.

As for his talent, Chen Yu went to study in the United States after graduating from university, and it is said that he owns several companies there that deal in human genetics.

She didn't understand it either, but it looked very high-end.

After several comparisons...

Victory is a foregone conclusion!

But just in case, she decided to add another layer of insurance. She had truly sacrificed so much to ensure Su Xiao could live a good life.

Zhou Shuqin sat down opposite Ye Shu, across the table, and asked with a smile:

"Xiao Ye, don't blame me for being blunt."

"Tell me honestly, were you and Qingyue not serious at all? Or was she just someone she randomly brought along to fool the old man?"

Ye Shu blinked her large, bright eyes, looking completely bewildered: "Auntie, what are you saying? I don't understand."

"Look at you, still pretending with your auntie."

Zhou Shuqin had an expression that said, "I understand."

"I've secretly investigated. You're just a discharged conscript, and you started dating our Qingyue as soon as you got back to Yuecheng? Do you think I don't know Qingyue? She's very proud and arrogant."

"Do you believe in love at first sight, Auntie?"

Ye Shu, however, arrogantly held the mimosa in his mouth, showing no trace of shyness on his face. Instead, he looked melancholy and said:

"I just glanced at you in the vast sea of ​​people, and Qingyue acted like a dog seeing shit, panting and trying to lick me. I couldn't do anything about it."

puff--

Su Xiao, who was playing on her phone, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I never knew my brother-in-law was so interesting.

No wonder my sister likes him.

Zhou Shuqin was so choked by his words that she almost couldn't catch her breath, and her face turned red from holding it in.

No amount of persuasion could work with this brat.

We have to unleash our ultimate weapon.

She gradually suppressed her smile and said in a deep voice:

"Don't think I don't know. That little brat Su Qingyue gave you some money to pretend to be her boyfriend and fool the old man."

"You think I can't see through you? You're just dreaming, like a toad trying to eat swan meat, wanting to become the Su family's son-in-law and get a share of the spoils!"

"I'm telling you, you're dreaming!"

She pointed at Chen Yu, who was sitting upright to the side, and whispered, "With your poor, pathetic appearance, how can you compare to Young Master Chen? Even without Young Master Chen, you still wouldn't be able to get past the old man!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shu was not annoyed. He simply took a lollipop from his crotch, put it in his mouth, and looked melancholy.

"You're not giving me any money, yet you want me to leave."

"Auntie, you've put me in a very difficult position..."

*Pia!*

Zhou Shuqin slammed a black card with gold trim onto the table, making a crisp sound.

"Ten million, leave my niece."
