Wong Qifu's unreasonable behavior deeply shocked everyone present. It was their first time experiencing what it meant to be truly domineering.

Li Jun, who had been so arrogant and self-satisfied before Wong Qifu's arrival, could now only tuck his tail between his legs. His face was full of resentment, but he didn't dare say a word.

How could the great Wang Family Empress possibly resort to violence just because she was displeased with someone? There must be a conspiracy behind this. If I resist, she might use it as an excuse to escalate things, potentially implicating my entire family.

Li Jun suppressed the violent impulse in his heart.

A scion of a noble family must know when to bend and when to stand tall! I must endure this humiliation and wait for my chance! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west—the wheel of fortune is always turning...

Li Jun kept trying to convince himself, but his shaking legs betrayed him.

Ultimately, he was just afraid of being beaten up again.

Wong Qifu remained expressionless.

What's so difficult about teaching someone a lesson for Xu Ke?

She was a top figure in Tianhai City who could command the wind and rain. Even if the Li Family came demanding an explanation, she could give any excuse, and they would have to shut up.

Truth only exists within the range of a cannon.

Wong Qifu possessed the power to crush the Li Family. Therefore, her words were the truth. In this society, the weak do not deserve a voice.

Blood trickled down Li Jun's cheek as he lowered his gaze submissively. "President Wang, are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied?" Wong Qifu scoffed. "Not that easy."

Li Jun's complexion changed drastically.

Wang Wu bowed. "Miss, it's about time."

Wong Qifu's brow furrowed slightly. "Fine. But don't let me see you in Tianhai again."

Li Jun's face fell. "President Wang, this..."

He wanted to protest, but a cold glare from Wang Wu made him stammer, "Okay... I understand."

Wong Qifu left.

For a long time afterward, no one in the bar dared to speak. Li Jun was grinding his teeth, a clear sign that a volcano was about to erupt. How could anyone dare to speak now?

Siao Jia moved closer to Li Jun, her voice filled with concern. "Are you okay?"

Yet, a flash of venom glinted in her eyes. Li Jun's act of shoving her aside in front of everyone had left her feeling utterly humiliated and resentful.

But if I don't show concern now, how can I prove I'm his official girlfriend?

Then, unexpectedly, Li Jun spun around and fiercely slapped Siao Jia across the face.

SLAP.

The sharp sting on her cheek was followed by disbelief. "Why... why?"

"Get lost!" Li Jun erupted like a volcano. "If it weren't for you, you jinx, making me humiliate Xu Ke, would I have even come to this bar to celebrate? Would I have ended up on Wong Qifu's radar? This is all your fucking fault!"

Siao Jia was astounded.

Wong Qifu hit him, and he's blaming it all on me? Using such a ridiculous excuse? I never had to suffer this kind of humiliation when I was with Xu Ke!

Her blood boiling, Siao Jia shrieked, "Li Jun, are you crazy? That bitch is the one who hit you..."

SLAP.

Another slap landed across her face, sending her to the ground, powerless to resist.

Li Jun was both shocked and furious.

That idiot! How dare she curse Wong Qifu? It's one thing for her to court death, but does she have to drag me down with her? If Wong Qifu's people hear this, aren't I going to get slapped again?

"Shut the hell up and get out! I don't fucking want to see you ever again!" Li Jun roared viciously.

The bar fell deadly silent, though gloating looks flickered in some people's eyes.

「Half past eleven at night, by the riverside.」

"He actually dared to dump me! I've been pregnant for a month, that bastard! He promised he would never let me down this time, but just because some woman slapped him, he takes it all out on me!" Siao Jia cried to Yang Qing, clutching a wine bottle.

Yang Qing had originally wanted to complain to Siao Jia about losing her job, but seeing her friend's state, she could only comfort her first. "Just forget it," she said. "Wong Teng told me the Li Family still doesn't know what kind of trouble Li Jun got himself into. Their backers aren't planning to help, so the family doesn't dare say anything to Wong Qifu. They've just grounded Li Jun, forcing him to swallow his pride. Now, the entire circle of rich heirs in Tianhai is laughing at him. The scumbag got what he deserved."

"But all he lost was face and a bit of freedom! I've lost my future!" Siao Jia sobbed uncontrollably.

Li Jun dumped me. Where am I going to get money now?!

Yang Qing's eyes glinted. "You could go find Xu Ke. Apologize to him, and I'm sure he'll take you back in a heartbeat."

"Xu Ke?" Siao Jia murmured, then burst out angrily, "You want me to apologize to him? Impossible. Besides, he's just a pauper. He's not worthy of me."

Even after being dumped by Li Jun, Siao Jia maintained her overwhelming sense of superiority.

Xu Ke wants to be my rebound? Impossible. Wishful thinking!

Yang Qing snorted. "Who said he has no money? He has over ten million in the bank."

"What?" Siao Jia's eyes widened. "Impossible! I checked his balance before I broke up with him—he was broke! How could he possibly have ten million?"

The house we bought isn't even worth that much!

"He must have kept it from you. This afternoon..." Yang Qing recounted the day's events, her eyes filled with deep loathing as she mentioned her own ordeal.

Siao Jia's expression shifted erratically. "So you're saying... he really has ten million?"

"Yes," Yang Qing said indignantly, as if Xu Ke had committed a terrible crime. "He must have betrayed you, secretly hiding ten million. That's why he had the guts to not come back begging for your forgiveness."

Siao Jia gritted her teeth. "That damned bastard! If he'd shown me that ten million earlier, would I have ever needed to leave him?"

"Exactly!" Yang Qing agreed. "So, you must get back that ten million that belongs to you."

Siao Jia furrowed her brow. "But... how am I supposed to get him to just hand over ten million willingly?"

"If he won't give it, can't you just take it?" Yang Qing pointed to the stack of photos beside Siao Jia, giving her a meaningful look.

Siao Jia looked at the photos, momentarily dazed.

"Then, not only can you get the ten million, but you can also get back the other half of the house. All you have to do is..." Yang Qing lowered her voice, laying out her plan.

Siao Jia's eyes gradually lit up.
