Chapter 022 The 22nd Melon
Cai Yongcheng's health was obviously not very good. He had experienced great joy and great anger. Although he was safe and sound in the end, he was still a little exhausted. At the party, he introduced his son Cai Xiaowen, Secretary Lin, and Gu Xicao, then went downstairs to rest.
Cai Xiaowen had to take care of Mr. Cai, and Secretary Lin had to be responsible for greeting the guests. She said to Gu Xicao embarrassedly, "Master Gu, I'm so sorry. Please wait a moment. I'll come over to introduce you later."
Gu Xicao said considerately: "Don't bother. There are so many guests today. Just take care of them. I will take care of it myself."
"Then don't be shy. Tell the waiter what you want to eat. We have all kinds of dishes today."
Secretary Lin breathed a sigh of relief and felt more and more that Gu Xicao was an extraordinary person.
With such achievements at such a young age and such sensible thinking, he will definitely be a big man in the future.
Gu Xicao nodded and watched Secretary Lin go to entertain other guests. She picked up a glass of orange juice and sighed in her heart that life in a wealthy family is not easy. It is not easy for Secretary Lin to entertain so many people with ulterior motives.
However, this shows his ability.
"Are you Master Gu?"
Just as Gu Xicao was drinking orange juice and sighing at the deliciousness of freshly squeezed orange juice, someone asked a question behind her.
Gu Xicao looked back and saw that it was Li Lixin and his group who came. Each of them was wearing a decent suit or evening gown. As soon as this group of people came over, they attracted the attention of the people around them.
"Yes, you are?"
Gu Xicao raised his eyebrows and asked back in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
Li Lixin looked Gu Xicao up and down, then turned to his best friend and said, "Can you believe this is also a master?"
The best friends and others laughed and said, "There are many masters. There are masters on TV every day, but I have never seen those masters predict the winning numbers."
Miss Su echoed, "That's right. I think Uncle Cai must have been deceived, or maybe Uncle Cai hired someone to set up the trap and is treating us like fools. A little girl like this, who hasn't even graduated from college, dares to come out and play tricks."
Miss Su's voice was quite loud, causing everyone around to look over here.
Gu Xicao drank the juice and said lazily, "How can you know whether it is true or false if you don't try it yourself? If you say someone is fake without any evidence, then what's the difference between you and a fool?"
"Who are you calling a fool?!" Miss Su had a bad temper. When she heard this, she immediately became angry and glared at Gu Xicao with gritted teeth.
Gu Xicao blinked, "Whoever gets excited is a fool. I didn't say you were the only one."
She glanced at Li Lixin and his group. Her tone was not polite at all, and there was no intention of flattery or fawning on these second- and third-generation rich people.
These second- and third-generation rich people are used to being flattered wherever they go. Even high-ranking officials will give them some face because of their family background.
They never expected that Gu Xicao, a charlatan whom they looked down upon, would be so rude.
For a moment, not only Miss Su was furious, but Li Lixin and others also looked gloomy.
"You really think you're such a big shot!" Li Lixin's best friend was so angry that he pointed at Gu Xicao and said in a bad tone: "If it weren't for Uncle Cai's face, we wouldn't bother to pay attention to you!"
Li Lixin stopped his best friend.
He put one hand in his pocket, looking at Gu Xicao's nonchalant expression, feeling a little unsure. Li Lixin was not stupid, so he naturally knew that Cai Yongcheng had introduced Gu Xicao to everyone just now with the intention of helping Gu Xicao to introduce customers, but Gu Xicao's attitude towards them made Li Lixin unsure whether she had the ability or not.
Is it a game of hard work and deception?
Or is it that he really has the ability and the temper of a master?
Thinking of this, Li Lixin had an idea in his mind: "Master Gu, it's rare that we have such a good relationship today, why don't you calculate my marriage fate for me, how about it?"
He took off the gem brooch on his tie and said, "If you are right, this brooch will be my reward for the divination. If you are wrong, you have to apologize to us. For Uncle Cai's sake, we won't bother with you."
Li Lixin's words immediately excited those young masters and ladies.
Everyone clapped and said yes.
Gu Xicao glanced at the brooch and pursed her lips, "Are you sure you really want me to help you calculate it?"
She looked a little strange.
Miss Su thought she was afraid of being embarrassed, so she smiled smugly and said, "Why, are you afraid? Of course, in front of so many people, if you make a mistake in your calculation, it will be embarrassing. Who in this circle will ask you to tell fortunes in the future?"
Gu Xicao ignored Miss Su. She stared at Li Lixin and said, "I can count it, but what if you don't admit it? If I say you have a girlfriend and you deny it, I can't do anything about it."
"That's easy. Let's ask Secretary Lin to testify."
Li Lixin was full of confidence. "I will write down the details on a piece of paper and give it to Secretary Lin. We will check them one by one."
Secretary Lin never imagined that she was just socializing with some of Mr. Cai's friends and something bad would happen to Gu Xicao.
Hearing that Li Lixin wanted Gu Xicao to tell his fortune, Secretary Lin couldn't help but say helplessly: "Mr. Li, Master Gu is really capable. If you want to tell your fortune, you might as well wait until another time to find a master."
Secretary Lin is very cautious in his work, and Gu Xicao is very accurate in fortune-telling. If she predicts something bad and says it in public, Li Lixin will inevitably be embarrassed.
But Li Lixin and others were in high spirits and were not willing to listen to Secretary Lin.
Miss Su said in a sarcastic tone, "Secretary Lin, you are not afraid that she will reveal the truth. We are all curious about whether the calculation is accurate or not. Li Lixin is willing to calculate here, and everyone is just joking. Why are you taking it so seriously?"
Li Lixin quickly wrote a few words on a piece of paper, folded it and handed it to Secretary Lin, "Don't worry, Secretary Lin, if she is really capable, there is nothing I can't tell others about my affairs."
Secretary Lin did not take the paper, but looked at Gu Xicao first.
Gu Xicao sat on the velvet sofa, eating strawberry cake, and said leisurely: "Secretary Lin, since he said so, let's fulfill his wish."
Both sides had made the decision, and Secretary Lin didn't have much to say, so he just nodded in agreement.
A party is nothing more than dancing and socializing. It's a rare occasion when such an interesting thing happens, so everyone gathers together to watch the fun.
Zhou Minwen had just come back from the bathroom after putting on lipstick when she found that there were few people dancing in the hall, and no one was visible on the sofa. She was startled and saw her friend passing by, so she hurried over to grab her and said, "Azhi, where are the others? How come I went to the bathroom and came back and there was no one there?"
"Awen, you don't know yet, Master Gu is going to tell the fortune for the young master of the Li family. Everyone go to the study to watch the fun. Let's go there quickly. It would be a pity to miss such a good show."
Azhi pulled Zhou Minwen to the study.
Both of them are popular female stars. Although their purpose of coming to Cai's party today is to make friends with the powerful, they also don't want to miss the opportunity to watch the fun.
In the study.
Li Lixin crossed his arms and said, "Master Gu, you only need my name, not my birth date?"
Gu Xicao shook her head: "Having a name is enough, but, Mr. Li, I'll ask you one last time, do you really not regret it?"
"Regret, what do you regret? I have nothing to hide from others."
Li Lixin said confidently.
Azhi and Zhou Minwen just came over and heard these words.
Ah Zhi complained: "I heard that this Young Master Li is very romantic. Will his predictions about marriage reveal anything shameful?"
It is well known that young men play tricks on others. Many of them have multiple relationships and are bisexual. This is not considered a scandal. The only thing to worry about is that someone gets killed.
"Azhi!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at them, Zhou Minwen pulled Azhi's hand and signaled her not to talk nonsense.
Only then did Azhi realize that he had accidentally said what was in his heart. His face turned red and he quickly shrank his head.
Gu Xicao smiled and said, "That's wrong. Mr. Li is not a playboy. He is a very pure person. He is still a virgin."
ah? ? ?
Gu Xicao's words stunned everyone.
Zhou Minwen couldn't help but look at Li Lixin. He was wearing a white suit and had a slicked-back hair and powdered face. Anyone who saw him would think that this man must be a playboy and a romantic. But who would have thought that he was still a virgin.
His best friend laughed out loud without giving him face, slapping his thigh and saying, "Virgin, Li Xin, this master is really funny, how can you be a virgin? You clearly told us that you slept with a woman when you were sixteen."
Gu Xicao raised the corners of her lips, as if she was smiling: "Secretary Lin, what does it say on the paper?"
Secretary Lin exclaimed, and after looking at the note, Li Lixin's face flushed red. "I didn't write this, but, but what if I'm a virgin?"
Everyone: “…”
Not only were the best friends shocked, but Zhou Minwen and others also looked incredulous.
There are still virgins in their twenties in this circle? !
This is even more incredible than a meteor shower tonight.
"You, you really are? No, you must be kidding?" the best friend asked with eyes wide open.
Li Lixin was embarrassed: "I was just bragging before. You all said you were no longer women, so how could I say I was? But now it's different. I think men shouldn't mess around."
Secretary Lin had to admit that he was also surprised. Li Lixin's father was notoriously philandering. His brothers all had red flags flying at home and colorful flags fluttering outside their homes.
Everyone assumed that Li Lixin was a playboy, but who would have thought that he was so innocent?!
For a while, many rich girls and celebrities looked at Li Lixin with some favor in their eyes.
In this era, poor men in their teens all want to sleep with women. It is rare that Li Lixin, with such good conditions, can remain chaste.
"Let's not talk about this. Keep calculating. Keep calculating."
Seeing everyone's burning eyes, Li Lixin quickly changed the subject, "How did you meet the person I'm dating now? You're right. I really admire you."
Gu Xicao smiled and said, "Mr. Li and his current partner met through letters. You two are pen pals, right?"
Everyone became more shocked.
Secretary Lin looked at the note and said in surprise: "Yes, that's what it says on the note, pen pal!"
"Wow, there are still men like this in this era, who fall in love by writing letters. It's really rare!" Azhi couldn't help but sigh.
Others couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Li Lixin blushed: "You are right, then you can calculate what will happen between me and her in the future? Can we get married?"
Many beautiful, wealthy and female celebrities were heartbroken instantly.
I finally found someone who can keep himself clean, but I didn't expect that he is so innocent and even wants to get married.
Miss Su couldn't help but ask, "Li Lixin, whose daughter is your pen pal? Will your uncle and aunt agree to let you be with her? Don't let anyone cheat you!"
Li Lixin's face darkened. "Don't talk nonsense. Xiaoyun is different from others. Although her family is ordinary, she is a very hardworking and motivated girl. If my parents knew about this, they would definitely like her!"
Li Lixin's words made Miss Su very embarrassed and angry.
She has been eyeing Li Lixin for several years and has been persistent in expressing her affection for him, but Li Lixin has never responded. Miss Su used to think that he was picky or that the Li family had some arrangements for his marriage, but now she was ashamed and angry to hear that he actually liked a girl who was not as good as herself.
"You are just pen pals, how do you know who she is? I don't believe that uncle and auntie would be willing to let her marry you!"
"You!" Li Lixin was so angry that he was about to refute Miss Su, but when he saw Gu Xicao standing beside him, he suddenly realized that Gu Xicao had not answered him yet.
Instead of paying attention to the inexplicably crazy Miss Su, it would be better to ask the master about his relationship with Xiaoyun: "Master, you haven't answered the question I just asked."
