This woman was no exception; getting involved with Qu Yuanliang, she might have harbored such intentions. Although the possibility was really slim, given that Qu Yuanliang was notoriously a playboy...

"Unwilling to compensate? That's also fine... It gives me a perfect reason to rightfully sue you... Maybe you have some status on the Mainland, but this is Hong Kong Island..."

Seeing Qin Fang's actions, Qu Yuanliang suddenly laughed, the kind of laugh that was very joyful, even a bit unrestrained.

"Please do..."

Qin Fang couldn't be bothered to continue talking with him and calmly replied with one sentence, while casually stretching out his hand, signaling that it was time for the other to leave.

The expression on Qu Yuanliang's face stiffened a bit. He was almost ready to turn hostile, yet Qin Fang seemed to have an even worse temper and didn't seem to care at all.

"We shall see..."

As for money, Qu Yuanliang didn't really care, but today, Qin Fang had publicly refuted him, and many people around had seen it.

Although he ultimately didn't reveal his own name, there were indeed people among those guests who recognized him. If word got out, it would be embarrassing for Er Shao of the Qu Family...

However, acting like this woman and making a public spectacle was also out of the question. At last, Qu Yuanliang looked at Qin Fang with a gloomy expression and threw out these very brusque words before immediately leaving with the humiliated female celebrity.

"I'll be waiting... Remember, my surname is Qin!"

Qin Fang hummed in indifference, and as Qu Yuanliang turned around, he specifically emphasized the reminder.

"Surname Qin?"

Hearing Qin Fang's words, Qu Yuanliang couldn't help but pause slightly in his steps and subconsciously repeated it. However, he didn't say much more or stay longer, promptly leaving with the female celebrity.

The surname Qin had been a taboo for the Qu Family for the past twenty years.

Because Qu Family's Third Miss, once the number one beauty of Hong Kong Island, Qu Qing, seemed to have been taken away by a man surnamed Qin from the Mainland. Although this man surnamed Qin later mysteriously disappeared, the relationship between the Qu Family and Qu Qing was completely severed, and Qu Qing even went far away to the Mainland, never to return in twenty years.

This was a huge mystery on Hong Kong Island. Aside from the direct descendants of the Qu Family, almost no one knew the truth, and even Qu Yuanliang had only vaguely heard about it without understanding the specifics.

Although there were recent rumors that the aunt, who had almost no impression of, might come back to visit her critically ill grandmother, Qu Yuanliang didn't associate Qin Fang with Qu Qing.

Despite Qin Fang sharing the surname Qin and coming from the Mainland—

The main point was that it seemed the Qu Family didn't know that when Qu Qing left Hong Kong Island, she was already pregnant, and naturally, they were unaware of Qin Fang's existence!

...

"Is the issue resolved?"

Not long after Qu Yuanliang left, Tang Feifei came back. Seeing that the woman was no longer there and peace had been restored, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Yeah, it's resolved..."

Qin Fang smiled and said, although there had been some unexpected changes, at least this matter was temporarily closed for now.

As for Qu Yuanliang mentioning about sending a solicitor's letter, Qin Fang didn't take it seriously. Not to mention that Qu Yuanliang probably wouldn't do such an unreliable thing, even if he did, Qin Fang wouldn't care. If it really went to court over this trivial matter, at most, he would have to compensate for damages.

Moreover, whether the court would even accept such a trivial case was still a question mark.

"How was it resolved?"

Tang Feifei was obviously more interested in this. That woman's spitting fury had been too intense, and for someone with a gentle disposition like Tang Feifei, it was a bit too much to handle.

"It wasn't hard! That woman just wanted money, give it to her and it's all settled, right?"

Qin Fang smiled. He would handle this matter himself and didn't want Tang Feifei to be bothered by such trivialities. So, he spoke with an indifferent tone.

"Oh, that's good ... Glad it's solved!"

Tang Feifei didn't inquire further, resolving issues with money was no big deal to her, she wouldn't fuss over such an amount, as long as the issue was handled.

"Hehe, the desserts here are quite good, want to try some..."

Qin Fang smiled, pointing at the dessert that had just been brought over and suggested.

"Are you trying to fatten me up into a little piggy... I'm on a diet, you know?"

With the trouble resolved, Tang Feifei's mood lightened considerably, her smile brighter than ever. Hearing Qin Fang's suggestion, she playfully pouted.

In fact, Tang Feifei's figure was perfect and she didn't need to diet at all, it's just that girls always have their reasons, and claiming to be on a diet is a common one.

"Then it can only mean you've lost your taste…"

Qin Fang didn't mind, he picked up a pastry and began to taste it, occasionally letting out praises like, "Mmm, it's really good..."

Watching the delicately made dessert, Tang Feifei seemed tempted. After some hesitation, she finally couldn't resist the craving and gave in.

"Is it really good? Then let me have a taste..."

And so, Qin Fang and Tang Feifei put the recent troubles behind them, happily enjoying the desserts and chatting away, their time filled with ease, tenderness, and affection...

Truly an enviable sight!

…

Qu Yuanliang was not the kind to have a broad mind. The likes of wealthy playboys and spoiled heirs seldom do.

When faced with something humiliating, although not necessarily vengeful by nature, he inevitably felt smothered by an urge to retaliate that he could not express.

Today, Qu Yuanliang had just such an experience. Leaving the place, his heart felt stuffy and his face was gloomy. The actress accompanying him also walked with her head down, lacking even the courage to utter a word.

Having been with Qu Yuanliang for a while, she knew his temper well enough to choose silence as the best option, lest Young Master Liang's anger turn towards her...

After all, if it came down to it, it was due to her involvement that Qu Yuanliang suffered the indignity in today's events.

"Sanshui, do me a favor..."

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, so Qu Yuanliang immediately took out his phone, dialed a number, and briefly instructed on a certain matter.

It wasn't until he received a satisfactory response that he felt slightly relieved, his expression turning deviously sinister.

"Mainland brat, don't think you can be so arrogant just because you have some money! This is Hong Kong Island, my turf... Hmph, just you wait..."

Without a doubt, the narrow-minded Qu Yuanliang could not let it go. Having lost face, he felt compelled to regain it; otherwise, where would Second Young Master Qu place his dignity? He promptly arranged for someone to deal with Qin Fang.

These sorts of tasks, he surely wouldn't undertake himself. There were plenty of gang members in Hong Kong Island skilled in such petty matters...

For scions like Qu Yuanliang, these gangs were often eager to curry favor, as he was seen as a deity of wealth.

For instance, the embarrassment Qu Yuanliang encountered today with Qin Fang would normally result in just taking a cheque and leaving, thus ending the matter.

But not for Qu Yuanliang. Merely a million Hong Kong dollars was enough to 'slap' his face; such a 'cheap' face was unacceptable to him, and naturally, he was deeply dissatisfied. Hence, he enlisted those gang members to target Qin Fang.

As long as they didn't kill the person, even if they ended up crippling him, it wouldn't matter too much. With some money, the gang member responsible could take the blame...

For these wealthy heirs, taking the fall and getting locked up was an eagerly embraced responsibility by many. There was no worry of him not paying, plus a hefty sum for settling down was usually paid upfront…(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com).
