"Heather!" The directorās voice became sharper. "Give me some face, letās just drop this matter! What are you all looking at? Havenāt you got anything better to do? Disperse!"
As soon as the director gave the order, everyone glanced at each other and began to disperse. Even Xiao Wan turned to leave.
At that moment, Heather said to Qu Leqi, "Not apologizing, huh?"
As soon as the words came out, Heather didnāt wait for an answer. She suddenly kicked the back of Qu Leqiās knees hard, and with a "thud," her whole body dropped to the ground, kneeling.
Immediately, everyone turned back to look, utterly stunned.
"Donāt know how to apologize? Then let me teach you how to do itāfor free."
"Heather!!" Qu Leqi was already on the verge of tears from anger.
"Sevvie Grand-aunt!" The director was shocked too. What the hell is going on here!
Heather suddenly turned her head, shooting a sharp, piercing gaze at the director. Instantly, even the group standing behind the director was stunned and intimidated by her glare.
It was as if razor blades flew by...
"Iām teaching her the basic principles of being human. Qu Leqi, if you ever need to beg for forgiveness in the futureākneeling will do just fine."
Qu Leqi tried to get up but couldnāt.
Xiao Wan, the unfortunate bystander, was panicking and didnāt know what to do.
Some people even slyly took out their phones to capture this historic scene, but Heather spotted them immediately and said sharply, "If you donāt want me to smash your phone to bits, youād better put it away."
Everyone who had been about to pull out their phones rapidly retracted their hands.
"Also, this has absolutely nothing to do with Xiao Wan. Purely because I dislike you. If you want revenge, come at me directly. But if you try to use this to retaliate against Xiao Wan... Qu Leqi, you will die."
When she said this, Qu Leqi trembled, feeling that Heatherās voice carried an overwhelming menace.
After saying that, Heather finally let go of Qu Leqi.
The director hurried over to help her up and tried to comfort her, "Leqi... Leqi, itās okay. Donāt take it to heart; Heather is just..."
"Get away from me!" Qu Leqi felt deeply wronged. She stormed toward the break room, pulled out her phone, and repeatedly tried dialing a number, mumbling, "Pick up... pick up..."
She was desperate to share her grievances with Nian Shen.
However, that man remained indifferent to the vibrating phone.
"Letās go." Having watched the scene unfold, he departed.
"Yes." Yi Yang followed him out.
Yi Yang thought to himself, "Sheās fine, so Mr. Nian doesnāt plan to intervene."
Someone, well, good luck to them.
...
The director was still lecturing Heather, who wasnāt listening at all. "Grand-aunt, when are you going to let me catch a break?"
Heather finally replied, "When she learns how to be a proper human being."
"Why must you provoke Nian Shen!"
"Thatās my business; you donāt need to worry. Even if I end up bearing the consequences alone, I wonāt let it affect anyone in the production crew."
"You..." The director was at a loss for words. "Why is your temper like this? Donāt you know how to be flexible? Some people canāt be offended. Do you even want to stay in this industry?"
"Iām just here to make a living, doing what makes me happy. If I canāt survive here, Iāll go elsewhere. But thereās no need to go against my principles."
"Principles? What are your principles? Can principles put food on the table?" The director was so angry he couldnāt stand it, but at the same time, he began to see todayās incident in a different light.
In todayās society, people like Heather, who arenāt afraid of offending others, are indeed rare...
