Chapter 074 The Seventy-Fourth Melon

Sister Liu's face turned green. She quickly stepped back and said with an awkward smile, "Xiao Hu, stop joking. This is not funny. I wasn't pregnant in the first place. And how could I have messed around with your father-in-law? Don't wrongly accuse a good person!"

“That’s right!”

When An Fugui saw Hu Xiaomi walking towards Sister Liu, he was so scared that his hair stood up. After hearing what Sister Liu said, he reacted and showed an angry look, "I know you all side with your mother, but why do you wrongly accuse Xiao Liu? Is it easy for her to come to our house as a nanny? Why are you spreading rumors that she is having an affair with me!"

After An Fugui said this, the people watching started whispering and talking.

"What this man said does make sense. Being a nanny is hard enough, and it's not very kind of him to doubt her."

"But what the master said was so accurate, maybe there really was an affair. There are so many cases of men having affairs with your nanny. My uncle next door, who is in his seventies, had an affair with a young nanny in her twenties. He even wanted to give his property to the young nanny because of a divorce..."

There was constant discussion.

But Hu Xiaomi is indeed in trouble right now.

An Fugui used moral blackmail on her, and Hu Xiaomi was too embarrassed to check Xiao Liu's pulse.

She was inevitably a little embarrassed for a moment.

"No need to take her pulse."

Su Jialin, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up, "I knew they were together a long time ago."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" An Fugui has always been used to his wife being submissive. For decades, he has been used to being the emperor at home. Suddenly, his wife became dishonest, and the fire in his heart suddenly burned up.

"I'm not talking nonsense. There are photos of you and Xiao Liu in your wallet. Do you think I don't know that? I just don't want to tell you."

Su Jialin's face had a tired and relieved look.

An Fugui's face was filled with panic, anger, and suspicion. "You, you wronged me. I know it's you who was fooling around with other men outside, so you slandered me!"

No one present could bear to watch it anymore.

A grown man cheated on his wife with his young nanny and even had the nerve to slander his own wife!

"You little idiot, shut up!"

The masses were angry.

Some people threw drink bottles at An Fugui, while others picked up garbage from the ground and threw them away. For a moment, An Fugui was hated by everyone just like the legendary Chen Shimei.

Xu Yiyang was excited. This was a good shot.

She immediately urged the cameraman to quickly film the scene, "This show is going to be a hit!"

The assistants and others were also excited. Who wouldn’t be happy to make money while enjoying the show?

Hu Xiaomi and her husband ignored An Fugui who was hit, and supported her mother-in-law to come over and thank Gu Xicao.

"Thank you for helping my mother-in-law clarify things. My wife has worked so hard for this family for so many years and has suffered so much. I never thought my father-in-law would be so cruel. He believed people who said my mother-in-law was a jinx."

"You're welcome, and there's no need to feel sad for such a person."

Gu Xicao comforted him, "It's a good thing to see through people as soon as possible."

The son gritted his teeth and said, "I will support my mother in divorcing him. This kind of man is not worthy of being a father, let alone a husband. Since he is having an affair with that nanny, let them be together."

Su Jialin also nodded silently.

After doing his best, Gu Xicao was about to leave. Xu Yiyang hurriedly gave his assistant a few instructions and chased after him in his high heels, "Master Gu, Master Gu!"

Gu Xicao stopped and looked back at Xu Yiyang, "Miss Xu, you still haven't given up?"

Xu Yiyang's face was full of smiles, without any embarrassment, "Master Gu is such a capable person, it is worth my three visits to him."

"Sister, who is this sister?"

Lin Yuan pulled Gu Xicao's sleeve in confusion and asked.

Just as Gu Xicao was about to introduce herself, Xu Yiyang smiled and said, "I am Xu Yiyang, the producer of TCB TV. I would like to invite your sister to be a guest on our show. Little brother, do you usually watch our TCB?"

Lin Yuan was shy, but nodded with sparkling eyes, "Look, the programs on your TV station are so funny and good to watch."

"Then why don't you persuade your sister to come to our TV station? Then you can come and visit. The kids will definitely envy you." Xu Yiyang persuaded him patiently, trying to take a different approach and start with Lin Yuan.

But it was beyond her expectation.

Lin Yuan thought about it, but shook his head: "No, my sister has her own reasons for not going. I can't be greedy for a little profit and let my sister down."

Xu Yiyang was stunned. She looked at Lin Yuan, then at Gu Xicao, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "It seems that I have been a villain in vain."

"Ms. Xu, I will think about this matter again. If I want to go, I will call you to inform you." Gu Xicao unexpectedly relaxed.

If someone else said this, Xu Yiyang would definitely tell the other person to get as far away from him as possible.

As a program producer, Xu Yiyang actually has a high status.

I don’t know how many people, including celebrities, wish that this Iron Lady would let them appear on her show.

But when these words came out of Gu Xicao's mouth, Xu Yiyang's eyes lit up, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

Gu Xicao nodded to Xu Yiyang, then left with Lin Yuan.

On the way, Lin Yuan was a little puzzled: "Sister, didn't you want to go? Why did you change your mind?"

Gu Xicao smiled and said nothing.

What came to her mind was Su Jialin, who had just been found to be unlucky in marriage and who had suffered injustice but was unable to defend herself.

There is no telling how many scammers there are in the fortune-telling business, and there are also no telling how many people have been wronged because of these scammers.

For example, saying that one has a hard life, is unlucky in marriage, and has bad luck with both parents.

Those liars almost ruin other people's lives with just a few words.

Even though Gu Xicao didn't want to be too prominent, she couldn't bear it.

"Director Lin, you must help me this time."

In Lin Guancheng's office, Huang Linxiang put two bags of gifts on the table and said to Lin Guancheng.

Lin Guancheng looked at the good wine in the bag, and his frown relaxed a little. "Master Huang, I have always been reluctant to help you, but after the show was broadcast the night before yesterday, many people called and scolded you for being a charlatan. I pushed you to participate in this show, which is very risky."

Huang Linxiang became furious when this matter was mentioned.

He had predicted the fortune well before and the man had taken the bait, but who knew that Cheng Yaojin and Gu Xicao would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

He was slapped in the face as soon as he came. What's more, that man surnamed An was not a good person either. Now everyone is scolding him for being blind and a charlatan.

"Director Lin, how could I be a charlatan? I predicted the fortunes of the first few people a few days ago very accurately, and you saw it." Huang Linxiang persuaded, "That day I spent too much effort on the fortunes of the first few people, so the last one was not accurate."

"Is that so?"

Lin Guancheng hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'll go find Xu Yiyang, but I have to be frank with you. Xu Yiyang may not agree."

"I understand, Director Lin, you have done your best. I won't blame you."

Huang Linxiang said tactfully.

Unexpected.

After learning about Lin Guancheng's purpose, Xu Yiyang agreed immediately.

Lin Guancheng was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xu Yiyang and said, "Producer Xu, are you kidding me?"

"You must be joking. What's so funny about this?" Xu Yiyang spread his hands. "Anyway, the program team also wants to add one or two guests. Mr. Huang is pretty accurate, so let him come."

Lin Guancheng smiled sincerely, "I said that Miss Xu you are a smart person, and I was right."

Lin Guancheng left as he wished. The assistant poured Xu Yiyang a cup of coffee and asked in confusion, "Sister Xu, why did you let Huang come?"

"We just happened to be short of people, so we should look for him instead of looking for someone else. Besides," Xu Yiyang took a sip of coffee and said meaningfully, "Don't you think red flowers need green leaves to set them off?"

The assistant's eyes lit up: "You mean Master Gu agreed?"

Xu Yiyang nodded: "Yes, she agreed. Finally, our efforts were not in vain."

November 9th was the first episode recorded for TCB TV’s “Masters Help You” program.

Huang Meiqi dragged her father out early in the morning, "Dad, hurry up and don't waste time."

Huang Zhongwen was somewhat helpless. He took off his apron and came out of the kitchen. "Why did you ask me to go with you? Why didn't you ask your mom?"

"My mother is sleeping in the morning, who dares to wake her up?"

Huang Meiqi shrank her neck and showed a flattering smile: "Dad, come with me, it's very interesting. Today is a fortune-telling program. Maybe we will be selected and go on stage to be invited by those masters to tell our fortunes!"

"Which of those masters has real ability?" Huang Zhongwen is a doctor and never believes in these weird and supernatural things.

But he couldn't resist his daughter's insistence and had to follow her, locking the door before leaving.

"This is the backstage of the TV station. I never thought it would be like this."

Wang Laoshi and Lin Yuan accompanied Gu Xicao to the recording. They looked around and were very curious.

"Master Gu, this is your dressing room." Xu Yiyang waved at Gu Xicao, and a neatly dressed woman stood next to him.

"Morning, Miss Xu."

Gu Xicao nodded and greeted Xu Yiyang.

Xu Yiyang smiled and nodded, and introduced each other: "This is Master Gu, and this is Aqi from the dressing room. Aqi is responsible for helping the master with his hairstyle. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Master Gu's skin is so good. How old are you this year?" Aqi invited Gu Xicao to come in and sit down, and asked while styling her hair.

Gu Xicao said: "My birthday was at the beginning of the month, so I am 19 years old."

"19 years old, that's really young. I see that among today's guests, you are the youngest. Master Huang is 49 this year." Aqi sighed.

"Master Gu, what a fate."

Someone knocked on the dressing room door, and when it was opened, it was Huang Linxiang with a few apprentices.

Gu Xicao looked at him from the reflection in the mirror, "It's you."

She was not surprised that Huang Linxiang appeared here, as Xu Yiyang had told her about it before.

"If not me, then who else could it be? It seems the production team has given us a difficult problem today. I'm waiting to see how you perform, Master."

Huang Linxiang said something harsh, turned around and left, slamming the door.

Wang Laoshi's eyes widened. "Who are these people? A master?!"

Ah Qi reminded quietly: "That Master Huang Linxiang seems to have some connections, Master Gu, I think you should be careful."

"Thanks for the reminder, I will."

Gu Xicao smiled.

She has never been afraid after being in the industry for so long.

It would be better if Huang Linxiang really has some skills.

"Hello, everyone. I am the host of this program, Xu Yiyang,"

In order to support the program, Xu Yiyang also served as the host. She greeted the audience on the stage and then introduced the guests. "Today, for the first episode of our program, we have specially invited four masters, Zhou Yilin, Master Miaokong, Master Huang Linxiang, and Master Gu Xicao."

The camera was focused on Gu Xicao and the other three.

In particular, a close-up was given to Gu Xicao.

The audience on stage were all surprised.

Huang Meiqi tugged at Huang Zhongwen's sleeve: "Dad, that master is so young and looks so beautiful."

Huang Zhongwen said seriously: "I think the TV station must have let that little girl play the role of the master in order to promote their star."

Although the audience seats are some distance away from the stage, the sound can be heard clearly because the recording site is closed.

Gu Xicao and others could hear the discussions from the audience.

Huang Linxiang joked: "People say that a man with a straight face is not reliable. Master Gu, it seems that no one trusts you."

"If someone has hair on his face, he may not be reliable in doing things. If the older he is, the more capable he is," Gu Xicao smiled slightly, "then the production team should go to the nursing home to hire someone. There may be centenarians there."

Zhou Yilin, Master Miaokong and others were all amused.

Xu Yiyang couldn't help laughing. Seeing Huang Linxiang's angry face, he smiled and tried to smooth things over: "You are all right, but let me tell you, words are not enough, we still have to look at the real ability. Although the masters have different focuses, like Master Zhou and Master Miaokong are better at Feng Shui, Master Huang and Master Gu are better at fortune-telling, but for the sake of intuition, we have prepared a test question for you today."

"really!"

Wang Laoshi slapped his thigh in the audience, "Huang Linxiang was right. He really was right."

Lin Yuan was a little nervous as he was watching, "Uncle Wang, my sister will definitely win, right?"

"Of course. Uncle Wang has been in this business for so many years, and I've never seen anyone like your sister. I even wonder if she has some magical powers."

Wang Laoshi touched his chin and said with emotion.

"Today, all the audience can go on stage and randomly find a fortune teller to help them tell fortunes, but each fortune teller can only tell fortunes for five people. After telling fortunes, each person will give a one-star to five-star rating. The one who receives the highest rating will receive a bonus of 10,000 yuan for this period."

Xu Yiyang’s introduction was very concise and to the point.

After she said this, the audience below became excited.

"Who do you want to ask for fortune-telling?"

"Of course it's Master Huang. Master Huang is famous for his accuracy."

"What a joke! It was broadcast on a show a few days ago that she miscalculated someone's fortune. I've seen Master Gu appear in the newspapers many times. She's the most accurate."

"I think Master Zhou is the best. He has been famous for so many years. Previously, I couldn't get an appointment with him to do Feng Shui."

"Master Miaokong is still accurate. His interpretations of divinations are so accurate!"

Several housewives and uncles were arguing excitedly about which one of the above was the most accurate.

Huang Meiqi originally came here to join in the fun, but now that there is such an opportunity, she can't help but become interested, "Dad, let's try it too, let the master tell our fortunes!"

Huang Zhongwen said: "What's the big deal? Our family is stable. If you put more effort into studying, your mother and I will be satisfied."

Huang Meiqi stuck out her tongue and said, "Then we should ask the master to help us calculate whether I can be admitted to university."

She quickly raised her hand to sign up.

Huang Zhongwen hesitated for a moment and was actually quite tempted.

Both the husband and wife have a stable job with a good income, so they have no worries about food and clothing. However, their only worry is that their daughter Huang Meiqi is too playful.

"Who do you want to have your fortune told?" The staff came over to register.

Huang Zhongwen was about to mention Huang Linxiang, but Huang Meiqi raised her hand and said decisively, "Master Gu."

"Are you stupid?" After the staff left, Huang Zhongwen frowned at Huang Meiqi and said, "Since we want to calculate, of course we should find someone more reliable. Why do you find this?"

"Dad," Huang Meiqi said seriously, "Didn't you hear what the housewives said just now? Master Gu has been in the newspapers several times."

After the program team received the registration list, they quickly came up to set up, placing four tables and chairs, and separating them with screens, so that they would not interfere with each other.

Huang Linxiang glanced at Gu Xicao, feeling resentful.

Just wait and see, he will definitely get first place this time!

He had received the news long ago, so he sent someone to inquire about the backgrounds of the audience coming today.

It would be easy for those people to give him high stars.

The program team arranged Huang Linxiang and Gu Xicao to be in the east and west, respectively. They were quite far apart, so it was difficult for them to know each other's movements.

"Hello." Gu Xicao soon met the person she wanted to have her fortune told.

But among the five groups, except for two groups that were more excited, the other groups looked unhappy, as if they were arranged here because they could not choose anyone else.

One couple even pulled the staff over and asked, "We don't want this little girl to tell our fortunes for us, we want Master Huang!"

The staff member said helplessly: "Sorry, you signed up too late. If you don't want it, we can arrange for someone else to come up."

The young couple pursed their lips and stopped talking, but their unhappy expressions were clearly visible on their faces.

"Hello, Master Gu."

Huang Meiqi pulled her father over excitedly and ran over first, "Can we be the first to tell your fortune?"

"Of course, please take a seat." Gu Xicao greeted.

She turned a deaf ear to what the young couple next to her said.

"My name is Huang Meiqi, and he is my father Huang Zhongwen," Huang Meiqi introduced enthusiastically, and then asked: "Master, do you need our birth date, or do you want to read our face and palm?"

"No need for that. Just tell me what you want to ask."

Gu Xicao had a smile on her face.

When Huang Zhongwen heard this, he felt that Gu Xicao must really be a little star arranged by the TV station to perform on the show.

There is no fortune teller who doesn't use these.

He was kindhearted and worried that the other party would be embarrassed, so he kindly asked, "Why don't you tell me what information you can find out about us?"

He thought to himself, let's forget about it considering his daughter's academic performance, and when the master says something later, he will just give him some face and agree with him.

Gu Xicao looked at Huang Zhongwen carefully, "Mr. Huang, you are a dentist, right?"

Huang Zhongwen was stunned for a moment, but before he could answer, his daughter was so excited that she nodded her head like crazy, "Yes, my dad is indeed a dentist. Master, how did you know that?"

"Of course I guess."

The young couple seemed to be really angry, so they took it out on Gu Xicao.

Gu Xicao glanced at them with a cold look. The young couple felt guilty and became annoyed: "What? You got angry because we said it right? If you have the guts, why don't you say something that others can't guess?!"

"Don't interrupt me, my father and I are telling fortunes here, what does it have to do with you?"

Huang Zhongwen frowned, somewhat displeased.

He is of high quality, so naturally he looks down on people who interrupt and lose their temper.

"Mr. Huang, don't bother with them." Gu Xicao retracted her gaze and looked at Huang Zhongwen. She said, "You and your wife both have good jobs. You are a dentist and your wife is a lawyer. You two have been childhood sweethearts for ten years and got married right after graduating from college. So far, you only have one daughter, right?"

Huang Zhongwen was really shocked. It was obvious that he could guess that he was a dentist, but his wife and their relationship couldn't be guessed.

He hesitated, then nodded: "You are right. Did you calculate all this?"

"Yes, I can see that you love your daughter very much and have treated her like a treasure since she was a child. That's why you are very worried about your daughter, as she is very naughty and playful."

Gu Xicao said this and looked at Huang Meiqi with a smile on her face.

Huang Meiqi blushed and said embarrassedly: "I'm not that playful."

"No, the game hidden in your bedroom--"

Before Gu Xicao finished speaking, Huang Meiqi became anxious and said quickly: "Master, there is no need to talk about this kind of thing. I admit that I was a little playful, but I didn't delay my studies."

"Don't be nervous. Your parents already knew that you had hidden game cartridges in your room." Gu Xicao smiled with a teasing look.

Huang Meiqi was extremely embarrassed. She touched her nose and looked at Huang Zhongwen, "Dad, did you guys know this a long time ago?"

"Do you think your dad and mom are blind? How could they not know about such a big bag of stuff?" Huang Zhongwen crossed his arms and said speechlessly, "Besides, I was the one who cleaned your room for you. Not only did he have an extra cassette, but he also had an extra cockroach. Your dad knew about it."

"Haha, hehehe."

Huang Meiqi smiled while touching the back of her head embarrassedly.

Gu Xicao had a smile on her face, but suddenly she frowned. She stood up and said to Huang Zhongwen and his daughter, "There is a gas leak in your house, and your wife is still in the house. You must call the police to save people!"

What? !

Huang Zhongwen and his daughter didn't react at first, but after hearing what she said, they felt stunned and absurd.

"There's a gas leak. No way. The kitchen was closed when I left."

Huang Zhongwen's subconscious reaction was to think it was impossible.

Gu Xicao said: "There is a problem with the pipeline. There is no time to waste now!"

"You must call the police immediately!"
