Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: A Surprise Encounter.

Seeing how upset I was, Gu Xiaofei chuckled again and said, "Oh dear, I've really rarely seen such a devoted and good man like you. It's such a shame you've been messed up like this by Lu Wan. I feel sorry for you."

"Shut your mouth!" I suddenly roared, cutting her off.

Gu Xiaofei didn't care though, and she continued, "Since Lu Wan can have a taste of something new, then you can too, right? Everyone plays their own game, no one owes anyone."

I really didn't expect Gu Xiaofei to be this open.

"No way, I can't do that to my wife." At this point, I firmly rejected Gu Xiaofei's seduction.

"Alright, alright, I was just kidding with you. Now let me show you some real stuff." After saying that, Gu Xiaofei took some photos out of a drawer and threw them in front of me.

Feeling a bit strange, I picked up a photo and looked at it closely.

The first photo I saw was actually a picture of my wife and Zhang Zhiyuan together.

In that photo, my wife's face looked very young and innocent, like she was only sixteen or seventeen.

Zhang Zhiyuan looked relatively young back then too, with a handsome and charming air about him.

I looked at Gu Xiaofei, but in my heart, I was asking, "What does this prove?"

Gu Xiaofei smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, keep looking!"

When I got to the second photo, I was stunned.

In this picture, Zhang Zhiyuan was lying there shirtless, and my wife was in his arms, with her hand resting on his chest.

Seeing all this, my face turned pale.

Gu Xiaofei continued, "Zhao Jian, you should believe me now, right? What I said wasn't baseless. Your wife and Zhang Zhiyuan were together when she was very young."

Even though I knew Zhang Zhiyuan was a womanizer, I didn't think he could be this much of a beast.

My eyes were fixed on these photos, trying to figure out if they were fake.

But then, a thought flashed through my mind, and I immediately dismissed all my doubts.

Because the wife in the photos was very young, and I still vividly remembered the clothes she was wearing.

Back then, my wife's family was poor and couldn't afford many clothes, so she often only wore one outfit for a long time.

All of this clearly indicated that these photos couldn't be fake.

Seeing all this, maybe I was too angry, and I suddenly slammed the photos hard on the ground.

When Gu Xiaofei saw this, she felt very pleased. This woman had finally hit my weak spot.

"How about that? I wasn't wrong, was I? Lu Wan really does have something going on with Zhang Zhiyuan."

I stared into Gu Xiaofei's eyes. At this moment, all that was showing in this woman's eyes was a seductive expression.

Usually at times like this, men are most vulnerable and easily attracted by such expressions from women.

Maybe I loved my wife too much, and I muttered to myself, "This is impossible."

Gu Xiaofei sneered at me again and said, "Are you still unwilling to accept reality?"

Maybe it was Gu Xiaofei's words that annoyed me, and I said, "Even if my wife and President Zhang really did have something going on, that was all in the past. Now I believe my wife is innocent."

Gu Xiaofei said, "Zhao Jian, I'm really touched by your devotion. It's a pity I'm not Lu Wan. If you want to know the truth, I can go with you to catch them in the act."

Hearing Gu Xiaofei say such a thing, I felt very surprised because she was much more capable than I had imagined.

I felt very curious and asked, "You know my wife is going to have a secret meeting with someone?"

Gu Xiaofei said, "Of course I do. If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have asked you to come."

I understood that Gu Xiaofei meant to make me give up hope, while I wanted to know if my wife had betrayed me.

Chatting with Gu Xiaofei, before I knew it, it was already three in the afternoon.

Gu Xiaofei suddenly said to me, "Zhao Jian, we still have a lot to do tonight. Why don't we fill our stomachs first?"

Actually, I didn't want to eat anything, and I couldn't eat at all.

But since Gu Xiaofei had said so, of course I couldn't have any objections.

Gu Xiaofei took me to a themed tea bar with a romantic atmosphere!

Generally speaking, this was a place for wealthy people to relax. I figured that in Gu Xiaofei's lonely state, she must come here often!

The reality was as I expected. Gu Xiaofei was very familiar with this place. Many of the staff greeted her, calling her Miss Gu.

What was even more striking was that the dress Gu Xiaofei was wearing today attracted the attention of all the men.

A woman as charming and alluring as Gu Xiaofei was the center of attention wherever she went.

We found a secluded corner to sit down.

Gu Xiaofei opened the menu and ordered a steak and a cup of tea.

When I saw the prices on the menu here, they were shockingly expensive.

One steak actually cost over four hundred.

Even though Zhang Zhiyuan was a well-known boss in the area, I knew in my heart that his financial situation hadn't been very good recently.

The main reason was the poor overall economic climate, so the construction business was also difficult.

And Gu Xiaofei's spending was clearly disproportionate to her income.

When it was my turn to order, I suddenly found myself in a difficult situation.

Since I had given my brother-in-law over three thousand yuan last time, I actually didn't have a single penny in my pocket.

If Gu Xiaofei wanted to split the bill with me, I would be very embarrassed.

I thought for a moment, closed the menu, and said, "I'm not in the mood to eat. You go ahead."

Under such circumstances, my reaction was understandable.

Gu Xiaofei didn't say anything. She handed the menu to the waiter, signaling to bring the food.

The service at this tea bar was quite attentive. Before long, a large steak appeared in front of me.

Actually, at this point, I was quite awkward because watching Gu Xiaofei eat would make anyone feel strange.

Actually, I knew in my heart that a poor person has no confidence anywhere.

I was just about to make an excuse to go to the restroom so I could sneak out and hide for a bit.

But when I turned around, I saw two people I really didn't want to see.

I saw two young men and women walk into the tea bar. They looked quite intimate.

Damn it, wasn't that Zhao Hu and Fang Min? What were they doing here?

I had only introduced them a few days ago. I didn't expect things to have progressed so quickly.

The first thought that popped into my head was whether Zhao Hu had slept with Fang Min.

You had to know that in today's society, people value speed. It's very normal to sleep with someone after knowing them for two or three days.

Since they could appear here, how could I explain my being here with Gu Xiaofei?

You had to know that in Zhao Hu's eyes, I was a well-behaved guy.

To be honest, Zhao Hu's attitude towards me was secondary. At least he wouldn't tell my wife about my business.

What I was more worried about was Fang Min.

As my wife's best friend, I couldn't stop Fang Min's big mouth.

My wife was already suspicious that something was going on between me and Gu Xiaofei. With Fang Min's appearance, what could I possibly explain to my wife?

If I told my wife that I didn't have any designs on Gu Xiaofei, probably even heaven wouldn't believe me.

So, I immediately turned my head to avoid them seeing me.

When you're unlucky, even drinking cold water can get stuck in your teeth. That's how I felt right now.

At this moment, Zhao Hu and Fang Min suddenly walked towards our corner.

Clearly, I felt that Zhao Hu was doing it on purpose because Gu Xiaofei was just too eye-catching.

Zhao Hu had once told me that he liked mature and charming women, and I thought Gu Xiaofei belonged to that type.

At this point, there was no way to hide anymore. I could only face it head-on.

To put myself in a more advantageous position, I suddenly walked over to Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu had obviously already seen me. He widened his eyes and looked at me with a strange expression.

"Zhao Jian, what are you doing here?" Zhao Hu suddenly asked.

I smiled and said, "I'm having a meal with a colleague."

Zhao Hu was a smart guy. He immediately realized that the colleague I was talking about was Gu Xiaofei.

However, he still couldn't believe that such a beautiful young woman could be my colleague.

And in this kind of environment, wearing such revealing clothes, she didn't look like a normal office worker at all.

At this moment, Fang Min also saw Gu Xiaofei, and her interest was immediately piqued.

It was as if they had come here today to catch someone in the act.

Damn it, I originally wanted to find evidence of my wife's cheating, but I unexpectedly got caught red-handed first. How was I going to explain this to my wife when I got back?

Fang Min then said, "Zhao Hu, why don't we sit together? We can have a good chat!"

They didn't even wait for Gu Xiaofei to agree and directly sat down opposite her.

At this time, Gu Xiaofei was extremely calm. She didn't seem to mind Fang Min and the others' arrival at all.

She didn't even offer a polite greeting.

Zhao Hu's gaze was fixed straight on Gu Xiaofei. He couldn't believe Gu Xiaofei was my colleague.

After everyone had sat down, Zhao Hu immediately asked me, "Zhao Jian, you're really something! When did you get such a beautiful chick?"

I originally thought Gu Xiaofei would be angry when she heard this, but who knew she just smiled at Zhao Hu.

That smile was truly charming and captivating, and Zhao Hu was instantly mesmerized.

I suddenly got anxious and said to Zhao Hu, "Don't talk nonsense! She really is my colleague."

Zhao Hu's expression was extremely strange. He said, "I understand, you're just colleagues."

His look clearly showed that he didn't believe me.

Fang Min also wanted to know Gu Xiaofei's background. She asked, "Hello, sister. Nice to meet you."

Normally, when someone makes such a friendly gesture, Gu Xiaofei should at least respond. But Gu Xiaofei threw the steak fork onto the table and said, "How boring."

I immediately understood that Zhao Hu and Fang Min had ruined our romantic mood.

Seeing that the situation wasn't right, Fang Min immediately stood up and said to me, "Zhao Jian, you guys take your time eating. We have something else to do."

After saying that, she tugged at Zhao Hu.

Although Zhao Hu really wanted to get to know this beautiful woman, with Fang Min there, he couldn't say anything.

After they left, Fang Min looked at the time. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Usually at this time, my wife would have already gotten off work.

Gu Xiaofei said to me, "Zhao Jian, you can call your wife now and see if she's going home."

I don't know why, but when I picked up the phone, I felt like it was particularly heavy, as if I couldn't even lift it.

I was really worried that what Gu Xiaofei had said was true.
