The Absurd, Sharp-Tongued Young Lady

"Shen Qingling, your eyelashes are so long."

"..."

"Hey, is yours long down there too?"

Shen Qingling was cornered against the wall by the woman, with nowhere to escape.

This was exactly the kind of woman Shen Qingling had mentioned—drunk out of her mind and so captivated by him that she had lost all reason.

He wondered if she would go crazy once she sobered up and remembered what she had done.

It all started a few hours earlier.

Shen Qingling worked part-time at a café near Jiangcheng University.

He normally only worked there on weekends and did not need to come in during the week.

However, since Shen Qingling planned to accept Song Zhining's invitation to have dinner at the Song Family home that weekend, he had switched shifts with a coworker in advance.

To avoid causing a commotion, Shen Qingling always wore a mask while working part-time. Today was no exception.

There were not many customers from Monday to Friday. After working for a while, Shen Qingling leaned off to the side to rest.

Then the system's voice rang out. "Detected an available target: Ruan Mingyi."

Name: Ruan Mingyi

Goddess Level: A-Class

Identity: Eldest Miss of the Ruan Family

Personality: Absurd, sharp-tongued, lacking love

Plot Relevance: 30%

Ending: Insufficient Points, Cannot Unlock

Shen Qingling looked toward the entrance and saw one woman supporting another as they walked in.

Their clothes and accessories made it obvious that they were wealthy. They were clearly rich young ladies from prominent families.

The woman being supported was Ruan Mingyi, Shen Qingling's target.

Shen Qingling asked in confusion, "This name doesn't ring a bell. Did she have a role in the Original Work?"

077 said, "Yes. The host may not have noticed, but she and your future fiancée, Sheng Xia, were sworn enemies. The two argued at a banquet, and Ruan Mingyi splashed Sheng Xia with Red Wine."

"Gu Yijin stepped forward to defend Sheng Xia, but Ruan Mingyi cursed him out thoroughly. Gu Yijin bore a grudge against Ruan Mingyi from then on and sent someone to ruin her face... You'll have to unlock the rest of the plot yourself."

077 had already revealed plenty. Shen Qingling could more or less guess what happened afterward.

Ruan Mingyi had humiliated Gu Yijin in front of so many people. Given Gu Yijin's personality, he would definitely retaliate. Her ending would not be much better than the Original Host's.

Shen Qingling quietly observed Ruan Mingyi and the other woman.

Ye Qiao helped Ruan Mingyi sit down by the window.

The two of them drew plenty of attention the moment they entered.

Ruan Mingyi was very beautiful. She did not have the soft, innocent appearance of a pure young girl, but rather the dazzling, aggressive beauty of a glamorous woman. Her features were exquisite, and her eyes were a deep sapphire blue, giving her a Mixed Blood look.

Her eye-catching crimson lips made her even more alluring. Her voluminous waves spilled messily over her shoulders, and her drunken gaze was slightly unfocused.

Taking advantage of Ye Qiao's order, Shen Qingling moved closer to hear what they were saying. The moment he approached, he heard Ruan Mingyi say indignantly, "What am I supposed to compete with her with? Her breasts are bigger than my head."

Ye Qiao took the menu Shen Qingling handed her and said as she looked through it, "Yours aren't small either. Besides, why compare yourself to her? She's just a stupid woman with big boobs and no brains."

Ruan Mingyi sighed. "But he likes that kind of stupid woman. If happiness were a sheet, then I'd be the husband who could never wake up and the passenger who couldn't hear anything in the car..."

Ye Qiao hurriedly cleared her throat. "We're in a café. Don't say that here."

Ye Qiao pointed at a coffee on the menu. "Two of these, thank you."

When Ye Qiao looked up, she met Shen Qingling's beautiful eyes. She froze for a moment. Such pretty eyes...

Shen Qingling acknowledged her order and walked away.

Ye Qiao nudged Ruan Mingyi's hand. "Hey, did you notice that waiter just now?"

"A waiter? What about him?"

"My intuition tells me he's a really handsome guy."

"Stop it, Qiao Qiao. I've completely given up on men. I, Ruan Mingyi, will never fall for another man for the rest of my life!"

Ye Qiao curled her lips. How could she not know her best friend's habits? Ruan Mingyi fell for every handsome man she met, but her tongue was simply too vicious. No man could stand it, and she had yet to have a proper relationship.

"When have you ever liked a man for more than a month?"

"That's not my problem. It's because they can't keep me interested."

"...Yes, yes, you're always right."

At that moment, Ye Qiao's phone lit up. It was a call from her boyfriend, and her eyes immediately brightened.

"Mingyi, Qi He is calling me. I'm going outside to answer it. Sober up in here, okay?"

"Got it, lovesick fool."

Ye Qiao giggled, picked up her phone, and went outside.

However, Ruan Mingyi did not obediently sober up as Ye Qiao had told her to. Instead, she took out the unfinished bottle of Red Wine from her bag and continued drinking.

Two men at the neighboring table had been watching Ruan Mingyi for a long time. Seeing her drinking alone to drown her sorrows, they could not resist approaching her.

"Beautiful, why are you drinking alone? Are you in a bad mood? Want us to drink with you?"

Ruan Mingyi gave the two men a bleary look, then curled her lips into a mocking smile.

She had already been in a bad mood today. Seeing ugly men try to hit on her only made her even more annoyed.

"Didn't you look in a mirror before leaving home? How did you dare come flirt with me?"

The man's smile stiffened. The man beside him stepped forward and said, "Miss, that's a bit too much. Isn't my friend handsome enough?"

Ruan Mingyi raised an eyebrow. "Handsome? I think you're even more handsome."

The man was happy for less than three seconds before Ruan Mingyi lazily took another sip of wine and continued, "I think you have that bad-boy handsome look, especially your eyes. They look like bad eyes."

The two men trying to flirt with her were speechless.

The other man still refused to give up. A fiery beauty with this kind of personality was exactly what made things interesting. He put on another smile and said, "We only wanted to be friends with you, Miss."

Ruan Mingyi frowned. Her attitude was already this clear. Why was he still clinging to her?

"You want to be friends with me? When your paycheck comes in, you probably think Pinduoduo refunded some junk you bought."

"There's no need to joke around. I drive a Rolls-Royce Phantom."

"Your vibe is more like a Rolls-Royce Phantom that got rained on all night and corroded into an Aima Electric Car."

"You! Just because you've never seen one doesn't mean I don't have one!"

"Enough showing off in front of me. The only thing you can show off now is your underwear. A Rolls-Royce Phantom? You're the one seeing phantoms."

Shen Qingling finally understood why the system had labeled Ruan Mingyi's personality as absurd and sharp-tongued.

The two men were still saying something to Ruan Mingyi when Shen Qingling walked over, intending to persuade them to leave. Unexpectedly, Ruan Mingyi splashed glass after glass of wine at them.

The Red Wine that should have hit the two men in the face was blocked by Shen Qingling instead.

Ruan Mingyi realized she had splashed the wrong person. She swayed to her feet, intending to say something to Shen Qingling, but when she raised her hand, she knocked over the Red Wine beside her. It spilled all over her, and fury surged in her chest.

Why was she so unlucky today?!

She looked up, about to curse at the two men, only to see Shen Qingling take off his mask.
