After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Ye Sanqing said it, but he didn't actually plan to go swimming.

She figured Ye Wanyin wouldn't bring anyone over to watch the excitement so soon; she'd have to wait at least another ten minutes. Feeling a bit bored, Ye Sanqing picked up a small stone and started skipping it across the water.

Unexpectedly, the stone skipped very few steps, but a person stood up on the bank not far away and walked towards her.

"Hello." Ye Sanqing stood up calmly, as if she wasn't the one who had just skipped stones.

The person walked under the streetlight, and Ye Sanqing could see what he was wearing. The person was a man, wearing clothes similar to what Ye Tian had worn when he went fishing, but for some reason, he was wearing a mask.

Ye Sanqing guessed that she might have scared away the man's fish, so she said again, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were fishing."

"..." The newcomer did not answer directly, but sized up Ye Sanqing for a while before asking, "Miss Ye?"

"It's me, and who are you?" Ye Sanqing nodded.

The other person was probably one of the guests present today, but she didn't have any particular impression of them, since there hadn't been a segment introducing all the guests to her earlier.

Sheng Hanyu was a little confused. He had seen Ye Sanqing at the banquet earlier, but he didn't know why the person who was wearing a gorgeous dress just now was wearing a drab tracksuit and was crouching at the back door of a villa... acting suspiciously?

He has never liked these kinds of social occasions and doesn't usually live in Ye City. He only came here today because his parents have some connections with the Ye family, and also because there are fish in this lake that he wants to catch. So after going through the formalities, he quickly changed into his fishing gear and started fishing.

Even if you don't know what the other person is doing, you still need to be polite.

"My name is Sheng Hanyu, nice to meet you." Sheng Hanyu politely extended her hand to the other person.

Ye Sanqing was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "Does he expect me to kiss his hand?" Then he realized that it should be a handshake. He reached out his hand to shake hands with the other person, but then saw the other person pull his hand back.

Sheng Hanyu took off her gloves and said, "Sorry. I forgot my gloves." Then she held out her hand again.

Thus, under the wondrous light of the streetlights and beside the subtle grove of trees, the two completed a very official meeting.

"So, what's going on, Miss Ye?" Sheng Hanyu asked, noticing Ye Sanqing paying attention to the commotion inside. If Ye Sanqing continued to skip stones, he naturally wouldn't catch any fish, and besides, there was no reason for the host to accommodate the guest. They were already here.

"I'm watching a play," Ye Sanqing replied, his tone so self-assured that it was as if he were actually in a grand theater, ready to watch a wonderful performance.

"Watching a play..." Sheng Hanyu found the voices inside strange and felt it was very undignified.

He frowned slightly. Today was Ye Sanqing's day, and no matter who was inside, making such a commotion before the banquet had officially ended meant they weren't going to give the host any face.

But Ye Sanqing didn't seem to have come simply to eavesdrop; it was as if he was waiting for something to happen.

After a moment's thought, Sheng Hanyu seemed to understand.

Even if he hadn't personally experienced such a thing, he had heard many related rumors, and it was very likely that the people inside were there specifically targeting Ye Sanqing.

He didn't know why, but after seeing Ye Sanqing twice, he was convinced that the other party was not someone who would actively harm others—and logically it didn't make sense either, what benefit would he gain from harming others at his own banquet?

So it's highly likely that the other party tried to scam someone but ended up getting scammed themselves.

"Do you mind having more spectators?" Sheng Hanyu asked. Isn't this more fun than fishing?

"I don't mind at all. In fact, you'd be happy to bring people over to watch me," Ye Sanqing said, looking at him. To lower Tong Wuyu and the others' guard, she deliberately didn't bring her phone. If more people could come to see this spectacle, she would naturally be more than happy to do so.

"Okay." Sheng Hanyu didn't say much, picked up her phone and started sending messages.

At this moment, Ye Jin'er also brought the Tang family members this way.

From Ye Wanyin's vantage point, she could only see Ye Sanqing and the other two walking towards the villa, but she couldn't see Ye Sanqing sneaking out along the corner of the wall by himself.

She estimated the time was about right and thought she had sent all the messages she needed to, but for some reason, neither Tong Wuyu nor Hua Duoduo replied to her messages.

Ye Wanyin didn't think she was likely to mess things up, so she came out of her hiding place and greeted Ye Jin'er and the others, saying, "Second brother, have you seen sister?"

Ye Jin'er said with a forced smile, "Isn't this Ye Wanyin? What, are you worried about Third Sister?"

Ye Siqing finally found an opportunity to run to Ye Wanyin's side and ask, "What's wrong?"

“My friend just texted me saying that my sister seems to be drunk.” Ye Wanyin’s face was full of worry. “Then she didn’t reply to my messages. I’m worried that my sister might be in danger.”

Ye Jin'er: "Really?"

Ye Wanyin's heart raced. She felt as if her second brother knew something, but the die was cast.

So she said, "Why don't we split up and look for my sister?"

As she spoke, she walked toward Villa No. 4.

Ye Jin'er had already greeted the others, so she didn't say anything more and followed Ye Wanyin.

Although Ye Wanyin said she would split up, she actually hoped to see as many people as possible make a fool of Ye Sanqing. She was even a little grateful to Ye Jin'er, because if it weren't for him leading the Tang family, she probably wouldn't have been able to get them to cooperate.

Gradually, more and more people gathered in this direction.

Ye Wanyin thought excitedly, "I really want to know what Ye Sanqing's expression will be when he sees so many people watching her make a fool of herself." She took out the spare key and opened the villa door.

Then she screamed, "What are you doing!" and turned on the living room lights.

The scene in the living room was, just as she had expected, extremely messy.

Clothes and overturned decorations were scattered all over the ground.

Faint noises came from the sofa, and shadowy figures could be seen moving around.

It seems the plan went perfectly—Ye Wanyin rushed over, pulling at the man as she went, shouting, "Who are you? What are you doing to my sister!"

But when she saw the face of the woman beneath the man, she froze on the spot.

It shouldn't be like this!

Why is Tong Wuyu here?

Ye Wanyin looked up blankly and saw Ye Sanqing standing unharmed outside the window. He even smiled and waved to her through the glass. At that moment, Ye Sanqing seemed to her like a ghost that suddenly appeared outside the window in a horror movie.

"Ah—" Ye Wanyin screamed, so frightened that she sat down on the ground.

Where did the plan go wrong? She wondered anxiously, how do I salvage this situation?

At this moment, Hua Duoduo, who was hiding under the stairs, saw the door open and rushed out as if she had met a savior. She almost bumped into Ye Jin'er's arms, but Ye Jin'er dodged and Hua Duoduo bumped into the door.

"Help!" She didn't even see who it was; all she wanted was to escape. "Cheng Yanye suddenly went berserk and attacked us..."

"Is that so?" Ye Jin'er repeated the same question.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Hua Duoduo's already pale face turned even whiter. "Second Brother Ye, he didn't touch me!"

Her lips trembled as she tried to explain.

"What does this have to do with me?" Ye Jin'er glanced at her. Why should she explain herself to him?

Some of the women, unable to bear it any longer, took out shawls and wrapped them around Hua Duoduo.

Her skirt was torn, her makeup was ruined, and she no longer resembled the haughty young lady she usually was.

Ye Jin'er met Ye Sanqing's gaze outside the window and stepped into the room.

Cheng Yanye, under the influence of the drug, even got up and tried to reach the woman on the sofa; while Tong Wuyu's eyes were also glazed over, as if she didn't know where she was, and she twisted her body on the sofa.

Ye Jin'er picked up a blanket with some disgust and threw it at Tong Wuyu, then said, "Fourth brother, come here and drag him to take a cold shower."

Ye Siqing: "Me?"

He was still confused when he opened the door and heard Ye Wanyin scream. He wondered how Ye Sanqing could do something so shameful. Then he saw Ye Sanqing standing outside the window like a ghost. His mind was a complete mess.

"Hurry up." Cha Ziwen and Ning Leyi squeezed through at the right moment, pulling Ye Siqing forward to drag Cheng Yanye.

They tossed Cheng Yanye a piece of clothing to cover his private parts. Some people in the crowd turned their heads away in embarrassment, but many others saw the red marks on Cheng Yanye's body.

All I can say is that the battle was extremely fierce!

Ye Sanqing: "It's my turn."

Sheng Hanyu stood next to her, in a position hidden by the curtains, so she was not noticed by anyone else.

It was unclear whether Ye Sanqing's words were a greeting or a farewell. After she finished speaking, she didn't pay attention to Sheng Hanyu's reaction and reached out to push open the French windows.

Hua Duoduo was shocked to see this. "Why isn't the window locked?" If only she had escaped through the window, she wouldn't have ended up in such a disgraceful state!

Ye Sanqing picked up the bucket he had borrowed from Sheng Hanyu and poured it over Tong Wuyu's head. The bucket was filled with fresh lake water, which was refreshingly cool.

The person who was still writhing fell silent in an instant.

Sheng Hanyu: Although we didn't catch any fish, we still made the most of this bucket.

"Ye Wanyin, explain." Ye Sanqing ignored Tong Wuyu, who had just woken up and was quickly wrapping herself in a blanket, and only asked Ye Wanyin, who was on the ground.

Ye Wanyin was in a very sorry state. Ye Sanqing hadn't dodged her when he splashed water, and her white dress was now stained with quite a few water droplets.

"What is my sister saying? I don't understand." Ye Wanyin decided to play dumb for now.

Since things have already come to this, she has no choice but to let Ye Sanqing off the hook for now; at least the goal of "Cheng Yanye apologizing to her" has been achieved. Sleeping with Tong Wuyu... it's a bit disgusting, but it's not like she can't continue using it.

"Am I speaking human language?" Ye Sanqing tilted his head to look at her. "Are you still pretending?"

At this moment, everyone present understood that this must have been Ye Wanyin's premeditated plan. Otherwise, how could she have been so sure that the person in the room was Ye Sanqing as soon as she entered without even seeing him clearly?

Not to mention the details like how he walked directly to the villa as if he knew the way well, and then smoothly pulled out his spare key to open the door.

"I really don't understand what you're saying, sister. I'm just... just worried about you..." Ye Wanyin wanted to faint, but the situation was out of control. One of her two helpers couldn't move when she saw her second brother, and the other was still naked and wrapped in a blanket.

"Worried about me? Worried about me so much that you keep talking about me all the time?" Ye Sanqing looked down at her. "You didn't even turn on the light just now, how did you know it was me? When did you develop night vision?"

"Then why didn't you call for help when you heard this unusual noise outside?" Ye Wanyin didn't address the doubts raised by Ye Sanqing, but instead threw mud at her.

"As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any law against doing these things here, right?" Ye Sanqing said, quite puzzled. "Does that mean I have to call the police if someone consensually engages in sexual relations?"

"You're lying! I clearly screamed for help!" Seeing the inconsistency, Hua Duoduo disregarded her image and shouted. "Besides, what were you thinking, standing outside the window listening all by yourself?"

"Well, my hearing isn't good, so I didn't hear it. Did you hear it?" Ye Sanqing said to the side.

Sheng Hanyu: Me?

He had no choice but to push open another French window and come in. "I didn't hear it."

He genuinely didn't hear her. Hua Duoduo only called out at the beginning, but after Cheng Yanye and Tong Wuyu hit it off, she found a place to hide, only wanting to take the opportunity to escape, and didn't pay attention to anything else.

Only then did everyone notice that there were other people present.

He was wearing a mask and hadn't officially debuted, so many people didn't recognize him. But Ye Wanyin, who had studied the entertainment industry for a long time, recognized him at a glance and was immediately shocked.

Sheng Hanyu?

Ye Wanyin knew he was on the guest list. If she didn't have other plans to carry out today, she would have tried to get close to this actor's descendant.

If we could get close to him, wouldn't we soar to the top?

Could it be that Ye Sanqing beat him to it again?

Ye Wanyin forgot to defend herself for a moment and just stared straight at Sheng Hanyu.

Sheng Hanyu: Should I even wear sunglasses?

Hua Duoduo, however, seemed to have found a point of rebuttal, "You two weren't exactly clean staying in the bushes outside, were you?"

Sheng Hanyu felt that this sewage was coming out of nowhere. There was no rule against fishing here, was there?

Just as he was about to speak in his defense, Ye Sanqing stepped forward and said, "Cleaner than you."

It was also accompanied by a disdainful look as she sized Hua Duoduo up and down.

Although Hua Duoduo did not suffer any substantial harm, under Ye Sanqing's gaze, she felt as if she had nowhere to hide.

"Ahem." Tang Qingshan finally couldn't stand it anymore, and tapped his dragon-headed cane, saying, "Whose family are you? You're slandering my granddaughter here, did you even ask me?"

Hua Duoduo's pupils contracted sharply. She had only been focused on Ye Jin'er and hadn't noticed who else was there.

She hated herself for speaking so recklessly just two minutes ago. Now, she could only try to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.

Who doesn't know that although Old Master Tang is not in the world of fame and fortune, his legend is everywhere? Even if her parents were here today, they would still respectfully address him as "Old Master Tang".

“Grandpa Tang, I know, she is Hua Duoduo from the Hua family!” Ning Leyi came downstairs after washing Cheng Yanye and immediately chimed in.

He had just vented his anger by splashing cold water on Cheng Yanye for a while, so how could he not kick Hua Duoduo when she was down?

It's absolutely right that you recognized Ye Sanqing as your elder sister!

"The Hua family? Very well, I'll visit your home tomorrow and ask your parents how they raised their daughter," Tang Qingshan said, feigning authority.

In reality, he was overjoyed.

Ye Sanqing truly lives up to her reputation as his own granddaughter! You have to be ruthless and strike back at petty people like this!

"Grandpa..." Ye Wanyin finally reacted, got up from the ground, and called out unsteadily.

Ye Sanqing immediately pulled Sheng Hanyu back three steps.

"Be careful, she might be trying to scam you," Ye Sanqing shouted.
