"What's wrong? Everyone's so quiet this morning, didn't sleep well?"
In the early morning, after Ye Shuang prepared breakfast for the girls, he found Bai Yuyou and the others eating their bread in silence, not saying a word.
He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he felt the girls' gazes were a bit strange.
"Well, is there any miso soup?" An Shiyu raised her hand.
"No, there's seaweed soup." Ye Shuang said, then looked at the quiet Bai Yuyou.
"Yuyou, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Bai Yuyou lowered her head slightly and just said, "Having a baby... so amazing."
Ye Shuang: "?"
"What do you mean?"
"Ahahaha, it's just amazing, really amazing, mothers are so great." Tang Keke laughed and said, then nudged Bai Yuyou with her elbow. "By the way, brother, are you going to the company to work today, or to the academy?"
"To the company, and I need to leave soon." Ye Shuang said. Alice and the others got up earlier than Tang Keke and her friends. Although just a child, she didn't complain about the early start, only thinking about the endorsement work later.
For an idol like that, her professional dedication was quite high, much better than many overgrown babies.
"Ding—" A suddenly ringing phone interrupted Ye Shuang's thoughts. He glanced at his phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number, but from Haizhu City.
"A delivery?" Just as Ye Shuang thought this, the moment he answered, cursing came from the other end of the line.
"Is your license plate ending in 8888? Your dog bit my son, get over here now!"
It was a woman's voice on the phone, her shouting extremely unpleasant. Ye Shuang couldn't help but pause, then thought—
Dog?
What dog do I have?
But then, he quickly remembered the Corgi in the garage that always guarded his car.
Ye Shuang originally wanted to say it wasn't his dog, but on second thought, since he had fed it before, it was better to go check.
"I have something to take care of in the garage, you guys eat first."
"Oh?"
Ye Shuang changed his clothes, put on a pair of slippers, and went out. Since it was just to the garage, he arrived quickly.
Next to his Maybach stood a few people: a woman with two or three skinny-looking boys, seemingly around seventeen or eighteen. One of the boys was sitting on the ground, holding his leg.
There was also a residential complex security guard.
"Hello." Ye Shuang tried to greet them, but the woman glared at him fiercely. "Are you the owner of this piece of junk car?"
"If you're talking about this Maybach, then yes, I am its owner."
"What kind of no-name car is that."
"..." Ye Shuang's expression didn't change, he just smiled. "Just a no-name car worth a few million."
The woman's expression froze, her tone weakening a bit. "Impossible, lying without blinking."
"Auntie, this car really does cost a few million." one of the boys beside her said.
"Go away, no one asked you." The woman glared at the boy, then turned her fierce gaze back to Ye Shuang. "My son was bitten by your dog like this, how are you going to compensate!"
Ye Shuang's gaze fell on the boy, then he asked, "How did you decide that dog is mine?"
"That dog is right under your car now, won't leave no matter what, and you say it's not yours?!" the woman shouted excitedly. "Are you trying to deny it?!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Shuang crouched down to look under the car and, sure enough, saw a dog's head.
The Corgi looked a bit nervous.
"That dog is certainly not mine, but I have fed it before... Out of humanitarian concern, I can compensate you a little." Ye Shuang said. He didn't want to waste time here, as he still had to go to work later.
"No way, you must come with us to the hospital, and..." The woman looked at the car beside Ye Shuang, thought of its price, and immediately gestured a number. "At least compensate us two hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred thousand?" Ye Shuang raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised by the woman's outrageous demand.
That's the price for a broken leg.
"I can certainly consider compensation, but I need to see the footage first." Ye Shuang said to the security guard.
Although they hadn't interacted for long, Ye Shuang knew this Corgi was actually a coward; it shouldn't just rush out and bite someone for no reason.
"No, you come to the hospital with me right now!" The woman reached out and grabbed Ye Shuang's clothes.
Ye Shuang ignored her. The security guard, upon hearing this, went to retrieve the surveillance footage, as the owner of such an expensive car was surely someone not to be trifled with.
"For now, you should take him to the hospital first. I'll come over later." Ye Shuang said.
"What if you run away?!"
"I live in this complex, where can I run?" Ye Shuang said, then walked towards the security office.
"You, stop!"
They tugged and pulled all the way to the security office. For some reason, Ye Shuang felt these people seemed very afraid of him seeing the surveillance footage.
Even the boy who was sitting on the ground got up and limped along after them.
"The surveillance footage is all here." the security guard said.
"You have bad intentions! Are you trying to delete the evidence?" The woman blocked Ye Shuang, then tried to touch the monitor, but was stopped by the security guard.
Ye Shuang frowned slightly but still entered the security office.
"Let me see."
"Okay." The security guard beside him started playing back the surveillance recording.
In the video, the Corgi was seen lying next to his car.
After a while, three boys swaggered over. They first pointed at his car, then seemed to say something.
Then, the boys circled the car, even trying to pull the door handles to open it.
One of the boys seemed to curse at something, then kicked the car.
At that very moment, the lying Corgi suddenly stood up and bit that boy.
"Fake! This footage is fake, doctored!" The woman, upon seeing this, immediately started yelling angrily.
"This is all real, please don't falsely accuse us." The security guard said from the side. The facts were clear now.
It wasn't the dog biting someone for no reason; these troublemakers were doing something to someone else's car, which led to the bite.
"We... we were just curious, looking at the car." one of the boys spoke up.
After he spoke, the other boys immediately chimed in.
"Yeah, yeah, I was just looking."
"We didn't really do anything, right?"
"And that's your excuse for pulling my car door and kicking my car? It looks to me like attempted theft plus extortion." Ye Shuang's expression turned cold, and he took out his phone to call the police.

Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both.

Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.

Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?"
