After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 1206 633: Promiscuous Men and Women

Gambling ruins lives, no matter if you're a man or a woman. Once you're addicted, there's no good outcome.However, usually, it's more common for men to become addicted to gambling than women.

Chen Feng, after all, isn't part of the underworld; he'd never really encountered a female gambler until today.

When men gamble, in ancient times they'd sell their children, wives, or even themselves. Nowadays, selling cars and houses is inevitable.

If a woman gambles, her moral compass may loosen, just like You Hairong, who even though married, is at a couple's restaurant having late-night snacks with a married man.

Gambling's harm isn't just rhetoric. Recently, Chen Feng encountered two living examples. One is You Hairong, whom he just met. The way she's acting, it's only a matter of time before she meets a bad end.

The other is his elementary school classmate, Chen Guoxiang, who accrued two million in gambling debts. He and his wife had to flee out of town to avoid the debt collectors. Even if Chen Feng lent them a million, they wouldn't escape selling their car and house.

Moreover, after such an ordeal, Chen Feng doubts Ni Yuhua will maintain any harmony with Chen Guoxiang. Their marital bond is sure to suffer.

Also, losing their house and owing Chen Feng a million will undoubtedly make the coming days much harder for them.

"Let's not talk about those two anymore. Come, let me show you some old items over there."

Guo Mengyao pulled Chen Feng to a spot near the wall to look at various old items from the last century, like an old sewing machine, kettle, clock, enamel cup, and badges, etc.

Guo Mengyao couldn't help but take out her phone and take a bunch of photos. She explained that the old items on display here are regularly updated and added to, providing a delightful surprise for regular patrons.

After admiring for a while and Mengyao snapping some photos, the dishes they ordered started to arrive.

They returned to the table and began eating. The portions here were indeed small, but each dish was beautifully presented and quite tasty.

The appealing presentation is crucial, and it's a key reason many women come here to check in, take photos, and share on social media.

Chen Feng ordered minced meat sea cucumber, which was just one thumb-sized piece, barely enough to taste.

And the garlic roasted oysters, only eight on a plate, looked full, but in truth, each oyster didn't have much meat. After finishing these two dishes, Chen Feng still felt nothing in his stomach.

Rice is more filling, and Chen Feng ate two bowls of it. Adding about two-thirds of the dishes, he was just barely half full.

Of course, you shouldn't eat too much for a late-night snack.

After they finished eating, they didn't leave immediately but instead sipped on complimentary lemon water from the restaurant, chatting idly.

...

Pu Fangye took You Hairong downstairs, mainly to prevent any conflict between her and Guo Mengyao from escalating.

He wasn't worried about his wife finding out about his affairs but was concerned about Hairong's husband discovering it and causing trouble. Her husband, after all, is a civil servant, and it's best not to let him find out about the affair.

Moreover, Pu Fangye still harbors feelings for Guo Mengyao and doesn't want Hairong to damage his reputation further in her eyes.

Of course, he knows he doesn't hold a good image in Mengyao's mind, but anything to prevent it from worsening is good.

Except, the unexpected appearance of Chen Feng made him feel quite uncomfortable.

Not to mention their unresolved issues from high school, seeing the obvious chemistry between Guo Mengyao and Chen Feng only added fuel to his jealousy.

"That Guo Mengyao is such a pretender! Acting so pure, but looking at her and Chen Feng's behavior, who knows, they might go get a room after dinner, or perhaps they've already done it, just like us..."

As the two came downstairs and found a vacant table, You Hairong started ranting. Nearly saying "just like us," she caught herself in time. Saying it aloud would be akin to slapping her own face, admitting her impurity.

In truth, she's far from pure. Every time she lost a significant amount in gambling, she'd secretly hook up with various wealthy men. With her allure and effort, she often received substantial financial rewards afterward.

Most of these wealthy men were clients from her real estate job. Many male clients would eventually sign the purchasing agreement with her after she sincerely catered to them.

Because of this, she earned substantial commissions each month, earning over a hundred thousand in her best month, with her commissions making up the majority.

Sadly, after receiving such a hefty salary, it took just a few days to lose it all.

Regardless, her status as a star real estate agent is genuine. The company values and accommodates her greatly as she's very passionate about her work, sometimes even working late into the night, discussing business with potential clients in hotel rooms.

So, her working hours are flexible, not restricted by the company's attendance policy; she can work whenever she wants.

Tonight is also considered overtime because Pu Fangye is her potential client now.

Although they were high school classmates, they weren't particularly close then. It wasn't until this time that Pu Fangye reached out to her, a real estate sales specialist classmate, to buy a house.

Meeting around three in the afternoon, You Hairong earnestly took him to see several houses, all villas.

Then, Pu Fangye expressed interest in one of the villas, priced at over three million. If sold, she could earn a commission of over ten thousand.

Although not a vast amount, it's very important to her now as she recently lost over two hundred thousand gambling. Later, she managed to gather and repay a little over ten thousand through various means, but still owed tens of thousands, a high-interest loan.

If not repaid timely, the interest compounds, and eventually becomes insurmountable.

Besides, she always intended to keep this hidden from her family, especially her husband.

If it were exposed, her husband would certainly not forgive her, likely resulting in divorce. Previously, her husband had given her several chances, practically bankrupting himself to clear her gambling debts, with her promising to leave with nothing if she gambled again.

To this end, she wrote a guarantee letter to her husband.

So, she's desperate to clear those tens of thousands in gambling debt.

However, the local real estate market isn't thriving; the sales situation is bleak, and her commission earnings haven't been great these past few months.

As for borrowing money, relatives and friends already know about her gambling. Even those she could borrow from have been exhausted, and she still owes many of them money.

Finding a wealthy man to rely on is also tough due to the sluggish real estate business.

The few wealthy patrons she worked hard for still keep in touch but can't offer much anymore.

Under these circumstances, recently, she approached several wealthy old classmates across elementary, middle, high school, and college. After the rounds, even approaching Guo Mengyao yielded nothing.
