No sooner had they sat down than BAM, three dark figures were right in front of me.
With the lights flickering, I could see tattoos on all three of their arms, looked like they were from the streets.
I've always thought of myself as a good guy, never messed with anyone.
Seeing this setup, I immediately started getting scared.
My eyes locked on the guy leading them.
He was only about twenty-three or four, with dyed yellow hair, and actually kind of good-looking.
This guy's eyes went straight to Gu Xiaofei.
I could tell he seemed interested in Gu Xiaofei, all smiles and trying to please her.
"Sis Xiaofei, long time no see," the yellow-haired guy said to Gu Xiaofei with a smirk.
"Did you get that thing done I asked you about?" she replied.
"Don't worry, Sis Xiaofei, it's taken care of."
The yellow-haired guy said, handing Gu Xiaofei a piece of paper.
Gu Xiaofei looked at the paper, and a happy look spread across her face.
I had a feeling this whole thing was shady.
Then, I saw Gu Xiaofei open her LV bag, take out a stack of cash, and hand it to the yellow-haired guy.
I'd known Gu Xiaofei for a while, and I'd never seen the boss this generous with her.
That thick stack of bills had to be at least ten thousand yuan.
I had no idea when Gu Xiaofei had become so generous.
"Here, take this and treat the brothers to some tea."
With a flick of her wrist, all the money landed in the yellow-haired guy's hands.
Actually, small-time thugs like them probably didn't have much money at all. The yellow-haired guy's eyes lit up when he saw the cash.
"Thanks, Sis Xiaofei! If you ever need anything, just call us brothers. We'll do anything for you!"
After saying that, the thugs swaggered off.
My eyes were glued to the piece of paper in Gu Xiaofei's hand.
I still couldn't really figure out what kind of news could be worth ten thousand yuan.
And Gu Xiaofei seemed really excited when she got that piece of paper.
Anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was on something.
"Zhao Jian, I told you, I would definitely prove to you that I was right," Gu Xiaofei suddenly said to me.
The two women next to her looked at Gu Xiaofei, completely surprised.
"Xiaofei, what's with you today?" Because it was so strange, the other woman asked.
At this point, Gu Xiaofei's eyes were really bright. She said, "Sister Juan, Sister Hong, today I'm taking you to see something good."
Maybe the two women were just bored, but as soon as they heard Gu Xiaofei say that, they suddenly perked up.
"What exactly is this good thing?" the woman called Sister Juan asked. She looked to be around thirty and was dressed very seductively.
Gu Xiaofei stood up and said, "Just follow me."
After saying that, she glanced at me and said, "Zhao Jian, you just stick close to me, don't get lost."
I suddenly had a really bad feeling. The content of that piece of paper was aimed at me.
But even I didn't understand what secret I had that Gu Xiaofei could reveal.
Gu Xiaofei led me out of the performance hall and into the private room area.
This was the most chaotic part of the nightclub. Nobody knew what went on in those rooms.
Every time we passed a room, I could almost hear the sounds of debauchery coming from inside.
I frowned as I walked, wondering what Gu Xiaofei was bringing me here for.
Then, Gu Xiaofei suddenly stopped in front of one of the private rooms.
I saw that the room number on the door was "Wealth and Fortune."
Sister Juan and Sister Hong, who were following behind Gu Xiaofei, were also very surprised, wondering what Gu Xiaofei had brought them here for.
"Zhao Jian, you should be the one to open this door," Gu Xiaofei suddenly said to me.
I was really puzzled, not knowing why Gu Xiaofei wanted me to do that.
Seeing me hesitate, Gu Xiaofei asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid to open it?"
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Sis Xiaofei, this is someone else's private room. It might not be appropriate for us to just barge in like this."
"I told you to open it, so open it! What's with all the fuss? If anything happens, I'll take care of it."
At this point, I really felt Gu Xiaofei's powerful aura.
Helpless, I had no choice but to open the door.
In that instant, everyone in the private room looked towards me.
Although the lighting was a bit dim, I still caught sight of that person.
It was the person who haunted my dreams.
So much so that when I saw her, I froze.
Because I absolutely couldn't believe it was real.
Lu Wan, my gentle and refined wife, was actually here.
My wife looked incredibly beautiful today, still wearing that red cloak, but she had put on makeup.
Seeing all this, my anger flared up instantly.
"Lu Wan, what are you doing here?"
Actually, my wife was a bit surprised when she first saw me, but that surprise quickly disappeared.
"You can come, so why can't I?" my wife suddenly said to me.
What she said left me speechless.
Yeah, if I could be standing here, why couldn't my wife be standing here? Was our meeting today just a coincidence?
I turned back to look at Gu Xiaofei.
Gu Xiaofei had a smug smile on her face, as if this was her greatest masterpiece.
I immediately realized that this was another one of Gu Xiaofei's schemes.
It seemed like she wouldn't be satisfied until she broke up our family.
Could it be that my wife was also in a bad mood, just like me, and came here to relax?
If that was really the case, I thought I could still forgive her.
After all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
I knew that at this moment, I absolutely couldn't let Gu Xiaofei see me make a fool of myself.
So I rushed over without thinking and suddenly hugged my wife.
At this moment, my heart was actually bleeding, it hurt so much.
But no matter what happened, I had to protect my wife. I had made that vow when we got married.
To consider Lu Wan's feelings, I suddenly said, "I'm sorry, honey. This is my fault."
I originally thought my wife would be moved, because that's the kind of person she was.
But her reaction suddenly shocked me, because at this point, she suddenly pushed me away.
At this point, I had a gut feeling that my wife had really changed.
Only someone whose heart had completely changed would give me such a cruel blow when I made such a touching gesture.
I stared at my wife with wide eyes, not saying a word.
Instantly, the scene became silent.
At this point, I was still holding onto hope, waiting for my wife's explanation.
My wife's eyes looked behind her.
Following my wife's gaze, I saw someone I didn't expect.
He was the class bully when we were kids, a good-for-nothing. Now that he'd been out in society for a few years, I heard he wasn't doing so well.
Even a loser like me looked down on someone like that.
"White Face, what are you doing here?"
After asking that question, I immediately realized that this was the guy who brought my wife here.
My wife especially hated this guy when we were in school. Now I couldn't understand why my wife would be hanging out with White Face.
White Face still had that thug look. He said, "Zhao Jian, you can come, so why can't I?"
I stared at White Face again and again. Although his nickname was White Face, he was actually small and skinny. No matter how I thought about it, there was no way my wife would be into someone like him.
I asked White Face again, "Did you bring Lu Wan here?"
Maybe she was afraid of my questioning, but at this point, my wife stepped forward and said, "Zhao Jian, let's go outside for a bit. I have something to tell you."
My wife and I walked out of the Emperor Nightclub, walking one after the other on the street, neither of us speaking.
I suddenly realized with surprise, when did my relationship with my wife become so distant? This was something I never would have imagined.
The night breeze blew, and I only felt a chill all over my body.
At this point, my wife suddenly turned around and said to me, "Zhao Jian, I know you've been really good to me this past year or so."
They say it's not easy being a man. At this moment, I really felt it. Ever since I married Lu Wan, I'd worked my butt off to protect this family, it hadn't been easy at all.
They say men like to fool around. Over the years, I'd definitely thought about it, but from beginning to end, I had never wronged Lu Wan.
So I could hold my head high. I was an honest and upright person.
Hearing Lu Wan say that, I actually couldn't help but want to cry, but I still held back my tears.
Because as long as Lu Wan was by my side, no matter how hard or tiring things were, I still felt happy.
I looked at my wife, and just like when we first got married a year ago, she was still so beautiful.
My wife continued, "Zhao Jian, actually, I've been very happy spending this past year or so with you."
I could feel that these words came from my wife's heart, so they resonated strongly within me.
I was very happy that my wife could say such a thing. It showed that there was still room to save my marriage with my wife.
But soon, these happy dreams were shattered, because at this point, Lu Wan said the most heartless words in the world.
"Zhao Jian, I've thought about it for a long time. Let's get a divorce!"
My smile instantly froze on my face, as if I still couldn't believe what my wife had said.
"Honey, what did you just say?" I asked, a bit disbelieving.
"Zhao Jian, I've decided. Let's get a divorce!"
Suddenly, those words were like a sharp knife, stabbing fiercely into my heart.
