After the event in Kun City was over, Ye Qiu went back to his usual routine of going to work every day, enjoying a leisurely life.

"Ye Qiu, my sister will be coming over to play today. Can you help me pick her up at the airport?"

On the way to the company, Bai Lan spoke up.

Then, she took out a photo and handed it to Ye Qiu, continuing to introduce, "My sister is named White Rose. Her personality might be a bit lively. I need you to take good care of her."

Ye Qiu took the photo and saw that White Rose was also a stunning beauty. Her features were delicate, her smile was sweet, and her eyes were big. However, Ye Qiu seemed to detect a hint of mischief in them.

"Listening to Bai Lan and combining it with her smile in the photo, I'm afraid this little girl isn't an easy one," Ye Qiu muttered to himself.

However, since this was Bai Lan's request, he naturally had no reason to refuse. "Sure, when is she arriving?"

"Her flight lands in an hour."

After dropping Bai Lan at her workplace, Ye Qiu headed directly to Jiangnan City airport without any delay.

Even though he had expected White Rose not to be a simple character, Ye Qiu still wanted to take the initiative to meet her.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

Soon enough, a girl dressed too fashionably and trendy appeared in Ye Qiu's line of sight.

Uh, to be honest, her outfit was a bit of an alternative style.

Seeing White Rose's outfit, Ye Qiu couldn't help but mutter again, "It seems this girl might be even harder to get along with than I previously imagined."

Ye Qiu gave a wry smile, but approached anyway and asked, "Are you White Rose?"

"You're Ye Qiu?" White Rose had already seen Ye Qiu's photo, but when she heard him ask this, she wouldn't back down, and lifted her little head slightly to meet Ye Qiu's gaze.

White Rose wasn't short, standing at about 1.7 meters, but next to Ye Qiu, the big guy, she was just a tad shorter.

"Yes, your sister asked me to pick you up." Ye Qiu nodded.

"You're pretty average-looking, but since I'm new here, I'll reluctantly agree," White Rose said and threw her luggage onto Ye Qiu, then strode forward, "I haven't eaten yet, take me to eat."

Ye Qiu: "..."

Ye Qiu wasn't too concerned about looks, but others usually thought he was somewhat handsome. Yet, in front of this little girl, he turned into just "average-looking." What kind of eyes does this girl have?

However, thinking about Bai Lan's instructions, Ye Qiu had to swallow his pride.

Although White Rose was born in the Bai Family's manor, her personality seemed nothing like a rich girl. Instead, she resembled a little gangster, preferring ordinary things over gold, silver, jewelry, and brand-name bags.

Originally, Ye Qiu wanted to take her somewhere slightly better for a meal, but this little girl insisted on eating authentic Jiangnan City street food.

For White Rose's request, Ye Qiu naturally had no reason to refuse. Besides, it would save him a lot of money.

Ye Qiu parked the car in a famous snack street in Jiangnan City, then took White Rose to experience the charm of Jiangnan cuisine.

"Old thing, did you not hear me asking for money?"

As Ye Qiu and White Rose just walked into the snack street, they heard someone shouting in front of them.

"B-Brother, I really have no money..."

An old man was being grabbed by two petty thugs, his face full of fear.

"Brother? Damn it, you old bastard? Are you blind? I'm only twenty years old, who are you calling brother?" A thug with dyed yellow hair immediately shouted.

The old man was about to cry. How else should he address them? Calling them "little brothers" would surely earn him a beating from these two if he dared say it.

"I'm sorry... I really don't have any money. Wasn't this month's protection money just paid a few days ago?" The old man said fearfully, speaking timidly.

"Quit your bullshitting. Lately, our Brother Hong is short on cash, so everyone in this area has to pay double protection fees, or get the hell out of this street!" The yellow-haired thug was extremely arrogant, puffing on a cigarette as if he were the overlord of the place.

"If you don't pay up, do you believe we will smash your stall?" A red-haired thug shouted as well.

Their aggressive manner attracted a lot of attention, but no one dared step forward to intervene.

Everyone knew these petty thugs were with Brother Hong. If they dared offend Brother Hong, they wouldn't be able to operate in this place peacefully.

Because of this, although they resented Brother Hong and his affiliates' power, they didn't dare provoke them. Usually, they endured their extortion through gritted teeth.

"I-I really don't have any money... Business has been bad these days. Could you give me a few days' grace?" The old man didn't dare offend them. Even if these two thugs cursed him directly, he didn't dare show any dissatisfaction.

"Are you ignoring what we said? Didn't you hear us say that if you don't pay today, then your stall has no reason to exist?" The yellow-haired thug was furious.

The red-haired thug beside him said, "Why waste breath on him? Just smash it, and see if he doesn't cough up the cash!"

"Good idea!" The yellow-haired thug's eyes lit up.

The two of them reached towards the old man's stall and began to throw the snacks on it to the ground.

"Stop!"

At this moment, White Rose couldn't sit still any longer upon seeing the situation. She shouted loudly, then quickly rushed to the two petty thugs.

"Where did these two little punks come from, having no conscience and even bullying the elderly?" Although White Rose's personality was a bit bratty usually, her heart was filled with justice. She couldn't stand such bullying.

"You'd better scram now while I'm still not fully angry, or in one word, dozens of bros will come over and deal with you in no time!" White Rose said, hands on her hips, looking very feisty.

The two thugs were momentarily stunned seeing someone dare to stop them from collecting protection money. But upon getting a clear look at White Rose's face, they were amazed. They had never seen a beauty like White Rose before, so much so they didn't even register what White Rose had just said.

"Whoa, still a little beauty, huh?"
