Don't Say You're Heartless (Modern Edition)

Upon hearing the man's words, Yang Qiong was ready to explode again, but Shen Qiuhua held her arm down.

"Sir, may I ask who you are...?"

The man's face turned pale.

"Pfft..." Yang Qiong covered her mouth to stifle her laughter. She knew Shen Qiuhua valued her image, if she made a scene in public, Qiuhua would definitely be upset with her.

Sure enough, when it came to aggravating others, Shen Qiuhua's skill was maxed out.

"I..." The man stammered, struggling to come up with an explanation that wouldn't make him look too foolish. After all, even fish have dignity.

At this moment, Liu Wanzhi walked over. She glanced at the man, then at Shen Qiuhua, and smiled. "Still thinking about my cousin, huh? You're certainly persistent. Cousin, are you really not going to reconsider? You're single now anyway, maybe if you spend time together, feelings will develop."

"And who is this gentleman?" Shen Qiuhua asked seriously, keeping her tone even.

Liu Wanzhi was momentarily stunned. "He's... the guy you went on a blind date with earlier this year. Don't you remember?" How could she forget so fast?

Shen Qiuhua smiled innocently. "Oh? I really forgot. I tend to forget unimportant people quickly."

This remark was a bit harsh. Since Liu Wanzhi was the center of attention today, her arrival had already drawn many eyes, and the man's face flushed with embarrassment under everyone's gaze.

"Shen Qiuhua, just because you're pretty doesn't mean you have to be so hurtful! You know exactly how I feel about you. Don't think you can treat people like they don't matter just because of your looks. Watch out, or I'll have someone ruin that face of yours! Let's see how smug you are then!" His harsh words shocked the crowd, and gasps could be heard all around. He had certainly gone too far.

Shen Qiuhua kept smiling, but everyone sensed the shift in her aura. She lifted her gaze slightly, and a cold gleam flickered in her eyes. "Sir, I don't even remember who you are, so stop pretending we know each other. Even shamelessness has its limits. I don't know how you feel about me, but I do know how someone else feels about you." With that, she released her grip on Yang Qiong's arm.

Yang Qiong had already been bristling with anger. How dare he threaten someone in front of me? Does he think I'm invisible?

Yang Qiong leaped to her feet and was in front of the man in a flash. Smiling, she said, "Today's her birthday party, so let's not cause trouble. Don't even think about calling someone-that's not what a real man does. If you're so tough, how about we take this outside and settle it? You dare?"

The man vaguely remembered being slapped on the hand by Yang Qiong during their blind date, and it hurt quite a bit. But that was the only real impression he had of her-he hadn't truly suffered at her hands.

"I'm a man. Why would I fight a woman?"

Yang Qiong let out two cold chuckles. "Afraid, huh? Just say it, and I'll let you off the hook. All you need to do is apologize to Qiuhua, and if she forgives you, we'll be fine." Her cocky attitude practically begged for a punch.

The man, feeling even more embarrassed, shouted, "Who says I'm afraid? I'm letting you off because you're a woman, so don't push your luck!"

Yang Qiong tossed her head. "Then stop shouting and prove it. Let's see who's got no face."

Liu Wanzhi originally intended to play peacemaker, but now the two were completely at odds and about to head outside. She'd seen Yang Qiong fight before, and if this man went out with her, he'd surely come back looking like a swollen mess.
