Chapter 96: Thrill-Seeking

Gu Yining waited impatiently, nearly dozing off in her car.

At long last, the person she had been anticipating emerged from the hotel.

Chen Huilan walked out, her cheeks flushed, clad in a revealing swimsuit, a silk scarf draped over her shoulders.

Her waist was wrapped snugly in the arms of a young man, and they were laughing and chatting as they made their way toward the pool area.

Gu Yining's jaw dropped in shock, almost hitting the floor.

It had only been a little over an hour since Chen Huilan had gone upstairs, and it was clear to anyone that something scandalous had occurred between her and the young man.

Without a moment to spare, Gu Yining pulled out her phone and began recording video footage of the couple's retreating figures.

Unfortunately, the distance made the footage unclear and shaky.

She had once believed Chen Huilan to be the epitome of loyalty, playing the role of a devoted wife at home. Instead, she was just a desperate woman, hungry for attention, brazenly engaging in affairs with younger men.

"Gu Tingyuan, you ruined my mother's life for a woman like this. Is she really worth it?" Gu Yining seethed, her teeth clenched tightly.

Determined to capture more evidence, she followed them, frustrated that her initial shot hadn't turned out well.

However, her pursuit ended abruptly at the entrance to the swimming pool area, where a vigilant attendant stopped her. "Miss, you can't go in here without a VIP membership. Plus, everyone inside must be in swimwear and no mobile phones are allowed," he informed her politely but firmly.

Gu Yining halted, contemplating whether it was worth the money to enter.

This hotel had excellent privacy measures, which explained why Chen Huilan had chosen this location for her illicit rendezvous.

It was clear that wealthy individuals could engage in their sordid activities in private, shielded from prying eyes.

After a moment of deliberation, she decided against going inside for now.

Putting her phone away, Gu Yining exited the hotel and left the area, her mind racing with thoughts of what she had just witnessed.

As evening approached and the rush hour loomed, Gu Yining waited in her car, anxiously scanning the hotel entrance.

Finally, she spotted Chen Huilan striding out, her demeanor radiating happiness as she slid into the driver's seat of her Porsche and drove away.

Not long after, the attractive young man emerged from the hotel, dressed in expensive, stylish attire. He proudly showcased a shiny Rolex on his wrist, seemingly a gift from Chen Huilan.

His swagger exuded confidence, clearly pleased with himself as he exited the hotel.

Gu Yining took a moment to assess her appearance in the rearview mirror.

She had removed the garish makeup from her face, opting instead for a bold, glamorous look that included cascading hair, dark sunglasses, and a striking red lipstick that accentuated her lips.

This new makeup gave her an aura of maturity, instantly aging her from twenty to around twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

Feeling ready to make her move, she positioned her Maserati close to the young man and rolled down the window. "Hey there, handsome! Want to join me for some fun?" she called out, her voice laced with playful seduction.

The young man turned to glance at her, and the moment their eyes met, he was utterly captivated by her stunning beauty.

This woman was not just attractive; she exuded a fresh, youthful energy that far surpassed Chen Huilan's aging allure.

Without hesitation, he opened the door to the passenger seat and hopped in.

"Hey there, beautiful! Where are we headed? A bar or a hotel? I'm up for anything," he said with a grin, extending his hand towards her, aiming to rest it on the back of her hand as she gripped the steering wheel.

Gu Yining's hand was slender and delicate, perfectly manicured, a sight that drew his admiration.

With a sly smile, Gu Yining slammed her foot down on the accelerator.

The sudden surge of speed caused the man's chin to bang against the window. "Damn! That hurt! Do you even know how to drive?" he exclaimed, wincing in pain.

"Buckle up, handsome! I like to keep things exciting when I drive. Haven't you ever tried something thrilling?" Gu Yining replied with a teasing wink.

The young man was momentarily taken aback, his annoyance dissipating in the face of her charm. His bravado faltered, and he quickly strapped in, eager to impress her. "Well, I've experienced all sorts of thrills, but I prefer the kind that happens in bed," he said, grinning mischievously.

Gu Yining laughed, feeling a rush of adrenaline coursing through her veins. The night was still young, and this unexpected encounter could lead to all sorts of adventures.

As they sped off into the bustling city, the tension between them began to simmer, igniting a spark that neither had anticipated.

With every sharp turn and every glance exchanged, the stakes of the night grew higher. Gu Yining was determined to turn this encounter into an opportunity—both to expose Chen Huilan's betrayal and to embrace the excitement that the night promised.
