The door to Bai Lan's bedroom was kicked open, and immediately a young man dressed in designer clothes rushed in, followed by a group of intimidating bodyguards in black.

When this young man saw what was happening before his eyes, he was instantly stunned!

"Bitch! Bai Lan, you bitch!"

Immediately, the young man began to curse in anger.

Ye Qiu and Bai Lan frowned upon hearing his curse.

When Ye Qiu learned that Bai Lan was from the Imperial Capital's Bai Family, he asked Mouse to investigate the Bai Family members, and the young man before him was indeed from the Bai Family. He was Bai Lan's only brother, Bai Hao.

According to the intel, Bai Hao had no real abilities. If he weren't the first young master of the Bai Family, he'd be nothing more than a useless person!

Despite this, Bai Hao was ambitious and dissatisfied with such a limited future. Thus, he often sucked up to some of the more influential young masters from the Imperial Capital.

In essence, Bai Hao was a sycophant who bullied the weak and feared the strong, thus his verbal tirade instantly darkened the faces of Ye Qiu and Bai Lan.

"Bai Hao, what are you doing here?"

"What am I doing? Haha!" Bai Lan laughed in anger and said, "My dear sister, you tell me, what am I doing here? Isn't it because of you? You know you are Zhang Family's future daughter-in-law!"

Bai Hao was almost driven mad with anger now. Both the Bai Family and the Zhang Family were extremely proud, but Bai Lan had committed such an act, getting cozy with another man behind the families' backs, and even slept with him!

If this matter spreads out, neither the Bai Family nor the Zhang Family will be able to maintain their reputation!

Listening to Bai Hao's words, Bai Lan couldn't help but frown. As he said, she was indeed Zhang Family's future daughter-in-law in name, but she would not acknowledge this marriage!

But, having been born into a prominent family, could she really manage things according to her own will even if she refused to acknowledge this marriage?

Seeing Bai Lan fall silent, Bai Hao sneered again.

"Don't think that giving your purity to some random man will let you escape this marriage. I'm telling you, even if you are a concubine, you must marry into the Zhang Family!"

Concubine!

The word shocked Bai Lan's body. While Bai Lan might not be as influential as the Zhang Family, she was still part of a wealthy family. Yet, as a daughter of a wealthy family, she was being told to be someone's concubine? Was this mocking her? Bai Lan felt a chill all over her body.

In Jiangnan City, Bai Lan might be seen as an omnipresent being, but when facing wealthy families like the Bai Family, she felt powerless. No matter how strong she was ultimately just a woman; her influence couldn't surpass a wealthy family.

At this moment, Bai Lan felt like crying.

The more Bai Lan felt this way, the more Bai Hao intensified his actions.

"Come back with me now, beg in front of Young Master Zhang, maybe he would agree to spare this marriage!"

"Get lost!"

Bai Lan felt heartbroken. Other people's brothers cherished their sisters immensely, but what about her own brother? He couldn't wait to send her off to be someone's concubine. In his view, being a concubine to Zhang Family's people was a kind of charity towards Bai Lan. Was this really her own brother?

"What did you just say?" Bai Hao widened his eyes in disbelief and stared at Bai Lan.

"I said, get lost!"

Bai Lan, trembling with anger, spat out these words through gritted teeth.

"Bitch, do you know what you're saying?"

Bai Hao flew into a rage, then raised his hand to slap Bai Lan's pretty face.

But his slap didn't land on Bai Lan's face as imagined; instead, it was stopped mid-air, tightly grasped by someone.

"She told you to get lost, didn't you hear?"

Immediately, a cold voice devoid of any emotional tone exploded in Bai Hao's ear, giving Bai Hao the illusion that his scalp was about to explode.

When he saw the person speaking was Ye Qiu, his fury became uncontrollable, "flaring" unabated.

"Bastard, do you know what you're saying? Do you realize whom you're talking to this way?"

"I'll say it one last time, get lost!"

Ye Qiu snorted coldly once more. If this man wasn't Bai Lan's brother, he would have slapped him long ago.

Daring to insult his woman as a bitch in front of him; Bai Hao was the first!

"You seeking death? Boy, don't think that just because you hooked up with my sister you can access the Bai Family's resources, I'm telling you, it won't happen!" In Bai Hao's eyes, Ye Qiu was getting close to Bai Lan solely because she was from the Bai Family!

He thought hooking up with someone from the Bai Family would lead to a prosperous future, but the Bai Family wasn't so easily accessed!

"You really are a sycophant!"

The intel from Mouse described Bai Hao exactly: bullying the weak and fearing the strong, using any means for his own goals, true to form. The words he said to Bai Lan just now perfectly showcased his character.

To suck up to the Zhang Family, he was willing to sell his own sister! Such a person is simply scum!

However, Bai Hao hadn't realized this at all, instead showing a self-satisfied and arrogant demeanor:

Sycophant? Where the hell did you crawl out from, you piece of trash, dare to insult me? You must be tired of living!"

"Smack!"

Faced with an idiot like Bai Hao, Ye Qiu couldn't hold back any longer, he slapped Bai Hao straight in the face, bruising what was originally a decent-looking visage.

"You dare hit me?"

Bai Hao was dumbfounded! He hadn't expected that someone like Ye Qiu, who merely relied on the Bai Family's influence, would dare to strike him!

"I'm hitting exactly you, you idiot!"

With that, Ye Qiu slapped again. This time, his strength was far harsher than before, sending Bai Hao's body flying.

"Daring to attack Young Master Bai; you're looking for death!"

Now the bodyguards Bai Hao had brought finally reacted, all shouting before charging at Ye Qiu.

Their skills might be somewhat decent, but who is Ye Qiu—a man who could handle hundreds of them, no matter how many charged him, Ye Qiu could strike them down effortlessly.

In just a few blinks of an eye, these bodyguards, who hadn't been arrogant for long, were all lying on the ground groaning.

"This..."

Bai Hao was stunned; his bodyguards were ones he had hired with high salaries!

He wouldn't count on these bodyguards to flaunt power, but they didn't even withstand a single round against Ye Qiu!

"You, what do you intend to do..."

Bai Hao saw Ye Qiu walking towards him and was startled to the point of shivering, his speech starting to falter.
