Zhang Yuhan's triumph and Zhang Yuhan's panic

The harsh curses echoed in her mind.

Song Lan and the other two stared at He Li, dumbfounded.

They hadn't expected He Li to curse so directly!

Zhang Yuhan was even more stunned, at a loss for what to do.

She had clearly introduced how outstanding she was.

He Li should have been crying and begging her to go with him.

And now she was just asking him to carry some things... but he... he actually cursed her directly?

And with such ugly words? Zhang Yuhan clenched her small hands, her heart filled with anger, resentment, and endless grievance. Her eyes began to redden, and glistening tears swirled wildly in them.

Growing up, whether at home or outside, she had always been doted on like a little princess!

No one had ever dared to scold her.

They didn't even dare to speak to her in a harsh tone.

Especially her suitors; those men truly doted on her as if afraid she'd break, showering her with care. But today, she was actually cursed by He Li with such unpleasant words.

The more Zhang Yuhan thought about it, the stronger her sense of grievance became.

Finally, she couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

Tears streamed down her face, patter-patter, non-stop!

She couldn't understand. She was so beautiful, and she had been so gentle and proactive towards He Li—a treatment others wouldn't even dare to dream of. Even if he didn't appreciate it, why did he dare to curse her like that?

She was just asking him to carry some things.

Wasn't that what he should do? He was asking a favor of her!

Since he was asking a favor of her, it was perfectly reasonable for her to ask him to do something, right?

Why wouldn't he agree to her request?

Not only did he not agree, but he also cursed her... How could this stinky man be so detestable!

As Zhang Yuhan thought, she cried more and more sadly. She simply threw the things in her hands, hugged her knees, and squatted down to cry. The sound of the two bags of merchandise hitting the ground also startled the other three.

Song Lan quickly squatted down to comfort her: "Yu Han, don't cry!"

"That ill-mannered stinky man isn't worth your tears."

"I'll scold him for you!" With that, Song Lan stood up, looked up at He Li, her face full of anger.

"How can you be like this?"

"Why are you cursing our Yu Han like that?"

"What's wrong with her asking you to carry some things?"

"Isn't it a given for boys to help girls?"

"If this were at school, plenty of boys would proactively come to help, even without Yu Han asking."

"Not only did you not help, but you even cursed her like that?"

"Such a low-class man, truly disgusting, with no manners at all!"

"Apologize to Yu Han right now, or else... or else I'll expose you online!"

She threatened him righteously.

At this time, people around also gathered.

Those who didn't know the truth began to point fingers... "Hey, what kind of man bullies a little girl?"

"Men should be magnanimous, why be so petty?"

"She's so pretty, and he still dares to curse her?"

"Apologize quickly! People like you are dragging down the image of us quality men in the eyes of women!"

"Exactly! I've been pursuing my goddess for five years, and she said she kept meeting low-class men like you who made her feel insecure, which is why she wouldn't agree to me. Look at that little girl crying so sadly, why aren't you apologizing?"

"Hmph, what kind of skill is it to bully girls?"

"My creed is to never harm women..."

...Watching the furious Song Lan and listening to the comments from those 'clowns' around him, He Li laughed.

Indeed, this world never lacks oddballs.

And it certainly doesn't lack those brain-sick clowns.

"Apologize? Apologizing is impossible."

"Never in this lifetime. I'm afraid of killing someone if I hit them, so I can only curse people to satisfy my verbal addiction!"

He Li crossed his arms, looking extremely arrogant.

In his previous life, in the later years, online shaming was rampant.

Especially targeting genders. He had watched several years of Gender Boxing Matches and was experienced enough to deal with the initial 'China Server' version. If Song Lan dared to expose him, He Li had ways to make her unpresentable!

However, others didn't know about He Li's experience.

The people around, and Song Lan, seeing He Li's arrogance, only found him more detestable and deserving of scolding.

"He Li, how can you be like this?"

"Yu Han was so proactive and gentle towards you, and you still cursed her?"

"And you're still unrepentant? Even if Yu Han made a mistake somewhere, can't you, as a man, forgive her?"

"Moreover, even if you didn't do anything, aren't you still responsible?"

"Don't think you can act like this just because you know Zhou Qingming!"

Song Lan said fiercely. The people around felt something was subtly off upon hearing this, but seeing Zhang Yuhan still crying so beautifully, they immediately ignored that slight oddity and joined the condemnation.

"This little girl is right, he's too arrogant!"

"Call the police, people like him should be locked in a dark room."

"A dark room is too light; he should be jailed for a few years!"

"Post his information online, let's see how he lives his life after this!"

"He's truly a scumbag and a disgrace; I wouldn't associate with him!"

...The condemnation grew more intense. Zhang Yuhan, who had been squatting on the ground sobbing, had stopped crying at some point. She was still pretending to cry, squatting there with her knees hugged.

However, the few glances of satisfaction she occasionally revealed when she slightly looked up at He Li... exposed her true emotions.

"Hmph, you detestable fellow, how dare you curse me?"

"Now, let's see what you can do!"

Thinking happily, she squinted and mumbled, "If you honestly apologize to me, then perhaps I might, reluctantly, forgive you and even give you a chance to pursue this young lady."

"But the prerequisite is that you have to break up with your girlfriend!"

"You'd better hurry, or else I might change my mind..."

"Then even your apology will be useless!"

Zhang Yuhan glanced at He Li with a triumphant look.

The latter had long since noticed the feigning Zhang Yuhan.

He just couldn't be bothered to deal with her. At this moment, Wei Wei and her short-haired friend couldn't help but speak up to defend He Li. However, their voices were too weak among so many people.

Seeing this, He Li waved his hand, signaling them not to bother. He stepped forward, seemingly intending to say something.

Zhang Yuhan and Song Lan grew even more smug in their hearts when they saw this!

They thought He Li was about to compromise.

However, He Li just looked at them coldly: "Quite talkative, aren't you?"

"Then you two can continue, but let me remind you."

"If you satisfy your verbal addiction today, don't be surprised if your entire family loses their jobs tomorrow or gets harassed by debt collectors!"

"After all, what goes around comes around!"

He spoke casually, but the previously arrogant Song Lan and the triumphant Zhang Yuhan instantly turned pale and felt a chill run through them. Only then did they remember that the person before them was not an ordinary person to be easily manipulated.

You cyberbully him? He might not care.

But his retaliation, who could bear it?

Don't forget, even the arrogant crown prince Zhou Qingming of Ye City had to be respectful in front of him.

They were just two girls from ordinary families... a single word from him could potentially ruin their lives.

Recalling their parents losing their jobs and their family being hounded by debt collectors daily... perhaps even unable to attend university, Song Lan and Zhang Yuhan's eyes filled with panic, fear, and a sense of helplessness. Meanwhile, the oblivious people around them continued to condemn He Li.

Originally, when Song Lan and Zhang Yuhan heard those words, they only felt exceptionally comfortable, thinking they could continue to force He Li to apologize.

But now, hearing those words condemning He Li... they only felt a chill down their spines.

Looking at He Li's half-smile... Zhang Yuhan felt a chill all over and hurriedly stood up, scolding the crowd: "I... I just wasn't feeling well. Why are you low-class men cursing him? He's my good friend!"

"How can you people be so disgusting? You just open your mouths and curse my friend without knowing the whole story?"

"You're already ugly and poor, your image is already bad!"

"It's normal that other girls don't like you."

"You're so far below He Li, yet you have the nerve to curse my friend here?"

"Exactly!" Song Lan also hastily chimed in: "You disgusting men should be exposed online and criticized by netizens nationwide. You're terrible, just opening your mouths and speaking ill of others without knowing anything..."

Listening to the two girls' sharp rebukes, the people around, who had been arrogantly condemning He Li, were all stunned.

What's going on? It wasn't like this just now?

Weren't you two just cursing him earlier?

They were just following the crowd, trying to please the beautiful girls!

How did they end up being cursed by Zhang Yuhan and the others instead?

Listening to Zhang Yuhan and Song Lan's harsh curses.

Everyone around them looked terrible, like clowns!

He Li, meanwhile, laughed unrestrainedly...
