C4 One Slap!

The Zhou family members had already gathered at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau in J City, eagerly awaiting their arrival. Zhou Ruoxue nestled against Lu Xiaochuan, her voice dripping with charm, "Xiaochuan, once that loser shows up, I'll go with him to get our divorce papers. Then, we can immediately go in and get our marriage certificate."

Lee Xia, who once towered over Xiao Qiufeng with an air of superiority, was now beaming with joy. "That's right, Xiaochuan, you and our Ruoxue are truly a match made in heaven. Xiao Qiufeng is nothing but a good-for-nothing!"

Zhou Guohua chimed in, his face eager to please, "Xiaochuan, we're family now. You'll look after our Zhou clan, won't you?"

Lu Xiaochuan flashed a smug grin and replied coolly, "Of course!"

Zhou Ruoxue glanced at her watch, her impatience evident. "It's been nearly half an hour. Where is that deadbeat Xiao Qiufeng? Is he trying to pull some stunt?"

Lee Xia scoffed, "He's probably crawling here on a bus. Just a little longer, and after today, we'll be rid of that loser for good."

Just then, Zhou Ruoxue's brother, Zhou Xiaoqiang, pointed to an SUV rolling to a stop and exclaimed, "What kind of car is that? It looks incredible!"

Lu Xiaochuan caught sight of it, a flicker of envy in his eyes before he coolly remarked, "That's the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, the epitome of luxury SUVs. It's the top-of-the-line model, worth over eight million yuan. In two years, when I've fully taken over the family business, I'll get one too!"

Zhou Ruoxue's eyes lit up. "Really? Riding in such a luxury car would be a dream come true!"

Lee Xia's laughter was laced with scorn, "You truly are from a wealthy family, Xiaochuan. As for that waste of space, Xiao Qiufeng, he wouldn't even dream of seeing such a high-end vehicle, much less owning one!"

At that moment, the door of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan swung open, and out stepped Xiao Qiufeng!

When he received the inheritance, his body underwent a transformation, and his hearing became incredibly sharp. Just now, in the car, he had distinctly heard the Zhou family's conversation.

But that no longer mattered.

Getting upset over a woman who had betrayed him was pointless!

The Zhou family members were completely taken aback when they saw him step out of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. It was as if they had seen a ghost. Zhou Ruoxue couldn't contain herself and exclaimed, "Xiao Qiufeng, how come you're in this car?"

"Why shouldn't it be him?" Lau Qingmei's crisp and pleasant voice chimed in.

She approached Xiao Qiufeng with a smile and effortlessly linked her arm with his. Their closeness was unmistakable from her gestures and expression.

The sight left a profound impression on everyone there.

Even Xiao Qiufeng hadn't anticipated Lau Qingmei's bold move. He was utterly taken aback.

Zhou Ruoxue's displeasure grew. Despite her eagerness to divorce Xiao Qiufeng, seeing him with a new, stunningly beautiful and elegant partner so soon—and a wealthy one at that, with a Rolls-Royce Cullinan to boot—stirred complex emotions within her.

She bit back her frustration, "Really, Xiao Qiufeng, you jerk! We're not even divorced yet, and you've already found someone else? How can you be so utterly shameless?"

Xiao Qiufeng shot back, "As for being shameless, I certainly can't hold a candle to you. Weren't you all set to marry that adulterer today?"

Zhou Ruoxue seethed with anger at his response but found herself without a comeback. Turning to Lau Qingmei, she sneered, "Beauty, you've set your sights on the garbage I discarded. You must be blind!"

Lau Qingmei remained serene, a slight smile playing on her lips as she replied, "Garbage? You simply failed to recognize his worth. A superficial woman like you doesn't deserve Xiao Qiufeng."

Enraged by the retort, Zhou Ruoxue's face flushed a deep crimson. She stamped her foot in fury, at a loss for words. Eventually, she stormed off to seek support from Lu Xiaochuan, pleading, "Xiao Chuan! They're picking on me!"

The moment Lu Xiaochuan laid eyes on Lau Qingmei, it was as if he had lost half his soul.

If a woman like Zhou Ruoxue could enchant him, Lau Qingmei, a woman of unparalleled beauty, was in a league of her own. Her figure, looks, and aura far outshone Zhou Ruoxue's.

He paid no mind to Zhou Ruoxue, eagerly wiping his mouth before saying with a sycophantic grin, "Miss, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lu Xiaochuan. My family is in the real estate and financial investment business. Would you be interested in getting to know me?"

Lau Qingmei cut him off with a blunt, "I'm not interested!"

Lu Xiaochuan's smile stiffened. Usually, just dropping his family name was enough to win a girl over. He had never anticipated failure.

But he quickly sensed that his usual tactics wouldn't work here. The stunning woman before him was clearly from a rich lineage. His usual ploys were useless.

Quickly shifting gears, he flashed a smile and tried a different angle. "Miss, why reject me so quickly? Are you familiar with the Lau family from the capital?"

Lau Qingmei arched an eyebrow. "I'm aware of them," she responded.

Lu Xiaochuan, unable to contain his excitement, blurted out, "The Lau family is expanding into J City, and my Lu family is one of their partners. Miss, if you're looking to collaborate with the Lau family, I could facilitate that connection for you."

Lau Qingmei couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity.

Someone was actually attempting to use the Lau family name to woo her. What a farce!

She replied with a smile, "Oh, the Lu family, is it? Noted."

Believing his tactic had hit the mark, Lu Xiaochuan was ecstatic. He whipped out his phone and suggested, "How about you give me your number, and we can set up a time to discuss this further?"

Meanwhile, Zhou Ruoxue was seething with rage on the sidelines, unable to contain her fury any longer. Yet, she dared not lash out at Lu Xiaochuan. Instead, she turned her wrath on Xiao Qiufeng, bellowing, "You're useless! We're getting a divorce, now!"

Without waiting for a response, she dragged Xiao Qiufeng and Lu Xiaochuan straight into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The trio, simultaneously there for marriage and divorce certificates, instantly became the center of attention, drawing bewildered stares from all around. Most of which were directed at Xiao Qiufeng.

Clutching the divorce certificate tightly, Xiao Qiufeng seethed with anger, vowing silently, "Just you wait. I'll make sure you both regret your actions today! This humiliation will stay with me for the rest of my life!"

Zhou Ruoxue burst into triumphant laughter. "Idiot! The Lu family is on the verge of a partnership with the Lau family from the capital. We're going to be swimming in wealth and power. One day, I'll be the wife of a wealthy man! The biggest regret of my life was marrying you because I listened to my grandmother. You jerk! It's all clear to me now—you rented that Rolls-Royce Cullinan, didn't you? And that woman, you found her at a club, right? Well done! You've become quite the actor!"

Her voice grew shriller with each word, but she failed to notice Lau Qingmei entering the room behind her.

At the sound of Zhou Ruoxue's venomous words, Lau Qingmei's expression turned icy. With no hesitation, she delivered a resounding slap to Zhou Ruoxue, cutting her tirade short.

Lau Qingmei spoke with a chilling calm, "If I catch you bad-mouthing me again, rest assured, I won't be so lenient."

"You dare to slap me?" Zhou Ruoxue exclaimed, her hand flying to her cheek in shock.
