Chen Feng thought for a moment, then directly typed a message asking: [I heard you and Lou Xiaojiao are coming to Xiu Zhou for a visit, is that true?]

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Yu Xiaohui replied: [Yes]

Chen Feng initially intended to talk to her about her husband contacting him, but after hesitating for a while, he decided against it.

The reason was simple, he didn't want to be involved in their marital disputes and emotional entanglements.

[Alright then, if you really come over, I can accompany you on a tour when the time comes]

After all, they were classmates, and they had just met recently, ate together, drank together, and even shared a room.

More importantly, even if he didn't offer, there was a high chance that she would ask him to be their guide, and refusing at that time would seem too uncaring.

Therefore, it was better for him to propose it himself rather than waiting for them to ask, which also showed he was considerate.

[How did you know we were going to Xiu Zhou? Who told you?]

Chen Feng thought it over and finally decided to tell the truth.

[Your husband told me]

Yu Xiaohui sent an expression of shock, then directly sent a voice message: [Are you kidding me? Ning Xiaorong would never contact you, let alone tell you that I'm going to Xiu Zhou.]

[I'm not lying to you.]

[Then why would he call you? Does he have your phone number?]

Chen Feng really didn't want to get involved in their issues, but since things had gone this far, it was hard to continue hiding from her.

[Let me tell you the truth, your husband wanted me to help him gather evidence of your infidelity and offered me a reward of 500,000, but I refused]

Shortly after Chen Feng sent this, Yu Xiaohui called him directly.

"Is what you're saying true? Did he really ask you to do such a thing?"

Once the call was connected, Yu Xiaohui asked angrily.

"Do you think I would joke about something like this?"

"That bastard! He himself is out there indulging and keeping mistresses. I know of at least two. One of them hasn't even reached twenty yet. Can you say that with him like this, I wouldn't want a divorce? Besides, we've been separated for almost two years. Even if I found another man, he has no right to control or blame me, and now he even wants to use such sordid means against me."

"His main reason is he doesn't want you to get much of the property."

Since things had been said, Chen Feng chose not to hold back, revealing Ning Xiaorong's intentions. Actually, Yu Xiaohui could have guessed this without his input.

"I was originally planning on settling for less money, but now that he's playing dirty, I must fight for half. I won't let this go."

Clearly, Yu Xiaohui was provoked, appearing very agitated.

Chen Feng really didn't want to interfere with her divorce case and family disputes, so he changed the subject and asked, "When are you guys coming to Xiu Zhou?"

"Either tomorrow or the day after. You should know about Zhang Ming's situation, right? His funeral has been handled, but Xiao Jiao has been in a bad mood, feeling guilty that she caused Zhang Ming's death. I've been comforting her, but it's not working much. Sigh, Xiao Jiao genuinely developed feelings for Zhang Ming."

Chen Feng felt speechless. Zhang Ming, if he were single, it would be a different matter, but he had a wife and child, and his relationship with her was more about money than affection. Lou Xiaojiao clearly misunderstood, thinking they were truly in love.

However, it's not wrong to say Zhang Ming was indirectly caused to die by Lou Xiaojiao. Her husband stabbing Zhang Ming was mainly due to her.

Therefore, internally Chen Feng wasn't very fond of Lou Xiaojiao, but they were all former classmates, and technically they were from his hometown, with elders still living back there.

If he were to be unsocial, his reputation in his hometown might suffer.

Although he didn't care much about it, there was no need to go that far.

"Just keep comforting her, and make sure she doesn't do anything foolish, especially considering she has two kids to take care of."

"Yes. It's mainly that since she has the kids, otherwise I think she would be in real trouble this time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng couldn't help but complain internally, thinking if she has two kids, shouldn't she stay home and take care of them rather than coming to Xiu Zhou for a getaway?

Of course, Lou Xiaojiao could afford to hire nannies, so it's likely her kids are looked after by them or by elders. She probably hasn't really raised the kids herself. But a mother like that isn't exactly exemplary.

"Let me know when you arrive, and I'll treat you to a meal."

"Alright, thank you then."

Yu Xiaohui agreed without hesitation.

"We'll leave it at that, contact me when you're here."

"Okay. Goodbye."

Both of them straightforwardly ended the call.

Chen Feng wasn't too focused on having to host them, it mostly just meant treating them to a meal and accompanying them for a day of sightseeing, fulfilling his duty as a classmate.

As for inviting them to stay at his home, that was definitely not going to happen.

Meanwhile, after finishing the call with Chen Feng, a smile appeared on Yu Xiaohui's face. She originally thought that after Chen Feng blocked her, they wouldn't have further interactions.

Unexpectedly, this time Chen Feng took the initiative to add her back and told her about Ning Xiaorong's attempt to bribe him.

This gesture from Chen Feng undoubtedly showed his concern for her, maybe even affection.

Otherwise, why would Chen Feng act in this way?

Ultimately, Chen Feng cared for and valued her, which certainly made her happy.

She immediately returned to the room and shared the incident with Lou Xiaojiao, especially about Ning Xiaorong's attempt to buy Chen Feng.

After hearing this, Lou Xiaojiao sighed, "Ning Xiaorong is indeed not one to be underestimated. I used to think he still had feelings for you, but now it seems, huh, he shows one face while doing another, truly sneaky. But it makes sense, if he weren't cunning, he wouldn't have gotten the Gold Store franchise in the first place. Now that you're having a divorce case with him, involving property division, he definitely won't want to split half of the assets with you, hence trying to buy Chen Feng. You need to be careful."

"Why should I be afraid of him?" Yu Xiaohui said confidently, "I know all his scandals and illegal acts; if I expose them, it'll be enough to put him behind bars."

"You better be cautious," Lou Xiaojiao advised again, "He's so devious, who knows he might do something bad to you. Also, remember, never do anything to provoke him. Otherwise... I am your cautionary tale. If I hadn't argued and rashly mentioned divorce, he might not have done this, and Ming might not have died. Sob."

As Lou Xiaojiao spoke, she couldn't help but become overwhelmed with sorrow, talking about her husband and Zhang Ming as she broke into tears.
