"Vice Chief Ye!"

Seeing Ye Luo, Li Wanqin’s secretary immediately called out, obviously recognizing him.

"Did Director Li not come to work today?"

"No, Director Li called earlier, saying there were some matters at home she needed to deal with, and she requested leave for the day," the secretary said.

"Requested leave?"

Ye Luo felt a bit puzzled upon hearing this and immediately thought of the events from the day before.

"That’s right, since I started working here, this is the first time for Director Li. Her tone wasn’t great either; I don’t know what’s going on."

The secretary continued, while Ye Luo’s eyebrows furrowed. He then blurted out, "Do you know where Director Li’s home is?"

"Vice Chief Ye, why do you need that information?"

The secretary looked at Ye Luo with a curious face.

"Oh, I need to discuss some issues with Director Li. Just give me the address."

"Okay, let me look for it."

"Got it, it’s this address."

The secretary said, handing a slip of paper to Ye Luo.

"Thank you, don’t let this get out, okay?"

Ye Luo instructed, his lips revealing a charming smile that momentarily mesmerized the young secretary, who nodded dumbly.

After that, Ye Luo left the Ling Corporation and headed for Li Wanqin’s home, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Despite getting slapped by her yesterday and the way she spoke to him, Ye Luo still couldn’t let go of the first woman he’d cared for, harboring an inexplicable feeling, not willing to just give up so easily.

The neighborhood where Ling Qingya lived was decent, with house prices in Zhonghai being average—neither expensive nor cheap, with a minimum price of several hundred thousand for an apartment.

Naturally, the security here wasn’t as strict as in the villa areas, and Ye Luo drove straight in.

Arriving at a building, Ye Luo exited his car and headed for the address.

He reached the seventh floor and checked the apartment number before he arrived at a security door, about to knock. However, his keen hearing picked up the sound of a fierce argument from inside, and his expression changed as he scanned the room using his "Clairvoyant Eye".

Everything in the apartment seemed to have been smashed up, a complete mess. Li Wanqin sat aside with tears in her eyes while a middle-aged couple, clearly her parents, sat beside her, angrily scolding her about something.

The topic was none other than Shen Mo; the belongings in the house were destroyed by people sent by Shen Mo, obviously because of yesterday’s incident involving Ye Luo.

Li Wanqin’s parents also learned that their daughter suddenly had a boyfriend and were continuously pressing her for answers.

Seeing this, Ye Luo’s frown deepened, and he promptly knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Inside, a middle-aged woman came over and opened the door, her face filled with surprise upon seeing Ye Luo.

"Who are you?"

"Auntie, hello, I am Wan Qin’s boyfriend," Ye Luo said.

"What? You’re Wan Qin’s boyfriend?"

Upon hearing Ye Luo’s words, Li’s mother’s expression changed, and she looked rather unpleasant, her calculating eyes glaring at Ye Luo as she scolded, "You little jerk, you have caused such trouble for my daughter and turned our home into this mess, and you still have the face to show up."

"Ye Luo, how did you get here?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

At that moment, Li Wanqin, hearing the commotion, hurried over. Seeing Ye Luo unexpectedly, her expression changed, and she quickly approached, attempting to push Ye Luo away.

Yet Ye Luo wore a smile at the corners of his mouth, took hold of Li Wanqin’s hand, and walked straight in.

"You..."

Li Wanqin’s expression changed as she looked at Ye Luo.

At that moment, Li Wanqin’s father also walked over, dressed in a white shirt, with a square face, stern and old-fashioned, his brows carrying an aura of authority, looking quite like a government official.

"Are you the guy Wan Qin suddenly brought up?"

Li’s father’s deep eyes stared at Ye Luo.

"Uncle, hello, I am indeed Wan Qin’s boyfriend, it’s just that she hasn’t told you all about it."

Ye Luo nodded.

"Ye Luo, you’re causing chaos..."

At this time, Li Wanqin’s face appeared somewhat anxious, her eyes fixedly staring at Ye Luo, yet she seemed somewhat helpless.

"Daring to own up to it, at least you’ve got some of a man’s character, but do you know that we’ve already arranged a marriage for Wan Qin."

"I know, but I also know that Wan Qin doesn’t like that guy named Shen Mo at all."

Ye Luo spoke to Li Wanqin’s parents firmly and confidently.

"Hmph, how do you know she doesn’t like him? After spending more time together, they will gradually come to like each other. It’s all your fault for deliberately getting in the way, causing our family to end up like this. I really want to beat you to death."

Li Wanqin’s mother stared at Ye Luo with a face full of excitement and anger, about to pick something up to hit him.

"Mom, please don’t."

Li Wanqin hurriedly stood in front of Ye Luo and said.

"How dare you, girl. Your wings are truly hardened now, trying to turn the world upside down, right? Do you even know the predicament our family is in? Offending Young Master Shen, not only will your father lose his position, but our whole family will also find it difficult to continue living in Zhonghai. Do you want to see our family destroyed?"

Li’s mother roared angrily, her expression highly agitated.

"I..."

Li Wanqin’s eyes filled with tears, her lips parted lightly as she looked around the room that was smashed up in chaos, not knowing how to speak.

Just then, Li’s father’s phone rang. He answered abruptly, and his face suddenly changed. His body trembled, and he became unsteady on his feet, retreating continuously.

"Dad, what’s wrong?"

Li Wanqin’s expression changed, and she quickly stepped forward to support him.

"The job is gone, the job is gone, everything is gone..."

Li’s father muttered to himself, seeming to have suffered a huge blow, his face turning pale.

"Li Wanqin, do you see this now? Because of you, our household is ruined. Your father’s position, which he worked so hard to reach over the years, is now gone too, and we even have to compensate tens of thousands in dowry. Do you want to lead our entire family to death?"

Li’s mother’s eyes welled with tears, speaking in a tone of grief and indignation.

"I... I truly didn’t mean to..."

At this moment, Li Wanqin’s face was filled with painful expressions, her cheeks streaked with tears, looking haggard and helpless.

"Stop crying, I will take care of all this."

Just then, Ye Luo stepped forward, wrapped his arms around Li Wanqin, and said softly.

"Ye..."

Li Wanqin’s tear-filled eyes looked at Ye Luo, though her expression was one of disbelief.

"Hmmph, you’ll handle it? You, a little brat, what will you solve this with? Do you think Young Master Shen is just an ordinary person?"

Li’s mother looked at Ye Luo with a scornful expression.
