From the surface, there is really no way to tell that Ni Yuhua is this kind of person.

In contrast, when the three of them had dinner together before, through Chen Guoxiang's account, Ni Yuhua was undoubtedly a praiseworthy virtuous wife and good mother.

Back then, she didn't mind that Chen Guoxiang was short, fat, and didn't have much money, ultimately ending up with him, getting pregnant before marriage, and marrying due to the child.

Ever since she married Chen Guoxiang, she has been wholeheartedly assisting him with his business. Their hardware store is doing increasingly well, and at least half of the credit belongs to her.

The couple worked diligently together, earning some money over the years, which allowed them to make a down payment on a house in Lu City's downtown area. Their six-year-old son has been raised and educated well by her; he can now recite dozens of Tang poems and even perform mental arithmetic.

According to Chen Guoxiang, Ni Yuhua is undoubtedly a very qualified wife and mother.

It just goes to show that you can't judge someone by appearances alone.

Chen Feng didn't know whether her seduction this time, attempting to cheat on her husband, was her first time or if she had done it numerous times before.

He could only kindly and sympathetically believe that it was Ni Yuhua's first attempt, and it had failed.

He hopes she can learn from this failed attempt and not do it again in the future.

This was something Chen Feng couldn't tell Chen Guoxiang, so he had to keep it to himself, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Chen Guoxiang was just a regular elementary school classmate and they hadn't seen each other in over ten years, so they weren't close friends anyway. Chen Feng could only feel sympathy for him without feeling heartache.

As for telling him to warn him, Chen Feng certainly wouldn't foolishly do that.

This kind of thing is thankless. The previous incident with Guo Mengyao's cheap brother and sister-in-law was a good precedent.

Doing a thankless task once was enough for Chen Feng, and he didn't want to do it a second time.

Chen Feng could only silently express sympathy for Chen Guoxiang in his heart, and then he couldn't be bothered to deal with it.

What is certain is that with a wife like Ni Yuhua, it's hard for Chen Guoxiang to keep her.

As Chen Feng thought about these things, he took the elevator downstairs without looking back.

After the elevator door closed, Ni Yuhua shook her head and went back to the room.

She closed the door, walked straight to the bed, and pulled off the blanket covering Chen Guoxiang, then slapped his butt hard.

With a loud smack, Chen Guoxiang cried out in pain.

"What's wrong?" Chen Guoxiang opened his eyes, shook his head, and asked, "Did he leave? Didn't book a room?"

Ni Yuhua asked coldly, "Do you hope he booked a room?"

Chen Guoxiang awkwardly reached out to rub his butt, smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm conflicted and in pain, but there's no choice. We owe two million, and if we don't pay it back in time, our home will be ruined."

"If I slept with him, would our home not be ruined?" Ni Yuhua still wore a cold face.

"There's no other way. Although I'm in pain, I definitely wouldn't blame you or despise you."

"Ha, do you even have the right to despise me?" Ni Yuhua said disdainfully, "If you hadn't tricked me into bed and got me pregnant, I wouldn't have married you. Later, if you hadn't always coaxed me and been so kind, I wouldn't have stayed with you until now. Did you think I was really willing to stay with you willingly?"

Chen Guoxiang looked forlorn and said nothing.

That's how it was. Back then, he used tricks, intentionally got her drunk, took her body, and fortunately got her pregnant.

That's how he stood out among several competitors and ultimately won the beauty.

Clearly, what he previously told Chen Feng about Yuhua not minding his looks or lack of money and finally choosing him because of love was pure nonsense and bragging.

As for tonight's plan to have Yuhua seduce Chen Feng, that was also his idea. The purpose was to have Yuhua ask Chen Feng to borrow money to pay off the debt afterward.

Half a month ago, a friend took him to an underground casino to have a look. He planned to just see what it was like, but he couldn't resist sitting at the gambling table. At first, he was incredibly lucky and won nearly a million, but later he slowly lost nearly two million and was forced to write an IOU.

Afterward, he realized he'd been conned in a setup, but there was nothing he could do—the IOU was already written. The people from the underground casino weren't ones he could offend, so he had no choice but to accept his loss.

A few days ago, those people came to his house to collect the debt. Chen Guoxiang bargained and gave them 200,000 as interest, then asked for a week's extension to gather the money.

Then, the couple sent their son to his grandparents in the countryside and planned to hide from the debt collectors together, considering it a vacation of sorts.

Their first stop was in Xiu Zhou. Chen Guoxiang had some savings and a secret stash, which he planned to use to please Yuhua generously, spending without concern.

After learning that Chayun Tea House was a popular spot for internet celebrities, he took Yuhua there, which was how they bumped into Chen Feng.

After that, Guoxiang targeted Chen Feng, this old classmate, to borrow money to pay off his debt, even willing to temporarily sacrifice his own wife.

One could say that poverty limits one's resolve; without sacrificing his wife, he couldn't borrow two million.

"Your classmate is very upright. I tested him several times, and he stuck to the rules. When I made my final attempt just now, he seemed very angry, left without a word. Your classmate's character is impeccable. If you could become real friends with him, it would be great."

In her words, Yuhua still admired Chen Feng. Just like she had said in the car previously, comparisons can be harmful. Compared to Chen Feng, her husband was far inferior.

Chen Guoxiang felt uncomfortable hearing his wife praise Chen Feng so much. He couldn't help but say, "You call that character? I think he's just afraid of being set up, or worried you'd entangle him later, which is why he held back. Otherwise, I don't believe he wouldn't be tempted by you. Unless he's not a man."

Yuhua thought for a moment and nodded, "You're right, he probably has concerns. So, what should we do now? If we can't borrow the money, we can't pay off your gambling debt. Are we going to keep wandering to evade the debt? And are you comfortable leaving our child with my parents for so long?"

Faced with his wife's questions, Chen Guoxiang suddenly lost any desire to sleep, rubbed his hair vigorously, feeling both frustrated and helpless and said, "Who would have thought you're so beautiful, with such a great figure, and yet Chen Feng showed no interest? Originally, if you just... we could have easily borrowed two million. Now I don't have any other plan."

Yuhua pondered and said, "Why don't you directly ask him to borrow it? Maybe he'll lend it to you."

Guoxiang shook his head, "We're just elementary school classmates with a very regular relationship. We haven't seen each other in over ten years, and now that we've just met again, I'd be asking him to borrow two million. If you were him, would you lend me the money?"

Yuhua was silent for a while before finally saying, "You should at least try. What if he lends it to you?"

Guoxiang was left speechless, merely shaking his head.
