Chapter 023 The Twenty-Third Melon
"Well," Gu Xicao knocked on the table, "Mr. Li, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Li Lixin was a little dissatisfied and leaned forward, "Of course it's the truth!"
"Then I'll tell you the truth. You and that person won't be together, and you'll soon have a falling out and a fight."
Gu Xicao took a sip of juice and said this slowly. Then she saw Li Lixin's face turn black and blue.
Li Lixin sneered, "Miss Gu, what you said is ridiculous. Let's not talk about whether we will be together or not, but a fight is absolutely impossible. There is no such thing as beating women in my Li family!"
Secretary Lin reminded: "Yes, Master Gu, you are wrong, Mr. Li has a good upbringing, it is impossible for him to do such a thing."
Gu Xicao blinked and said, "I didn't make a mistake."
"So you mean I will hit women?!" Li Lixin stared at Gu Xicao with dissatisfaction.
Gu Xicao tilted his head and said seriously: "I just said that you would fight with Xiaoyun, I didn't say you would hit a woman."
When Li Lixin heard this, he was furious and stood up. "Don't you mean the same thing?"
"etc, "
Li Lixin's best friend reacted faster. He quickly realized the difference between the two and said hesitantly, "Are you saying that Lixin's partner is not a woman?"
Gu Xicao smiled and crossed her arms: "Finally you guys understood."
Everyone was suddenly in an uproar.
"The young master of the Li family is dating a guy?!"
"I've never heard of anyone in their family liking men."
"No wonder he's a virgin, turns out he's a gay."
Discussions broke out everywhere.
Li Lixin was so angry that he was shaking. "Bullshit, how could Xiaoyun be a man? I've seen her photo and even called her!"
“But you haven’t seen the person.”
Gu Xicao reminded him softly, "Master Li, you've been dating that Xiaoyun for so long, have you ever thought about actually meeting her? Hong Kong isn't that big, it shouldn't be that difficult to meet her."
Li Lixin opened his mouth, and he recalled that he had mentioned meeting Xiaoyun several times before, but Xiaoyun had refused.
At that time, Li Lixin had no doubts and just thought that Xiaoyun was shy and too busy. But now that Gu Xicao had said it, this matter clearly became a suspicious point.
"I, we have never met, but we have talked. The girl on the other end of the phone is Xiaoyun!"
Li Lixin was clearly shaken, but he still refused to believe it.
"Just because there's a girl on the other end of the phone doesn't mean she's your girlfriend." Secretary Lin cleared his throat and said, "You can always ask someone for help with this kind of thing. Master Li, Master Gu wouldn't lie without any evidence. There must be a reason. I think you should be careful about this matter. You didn't suffer any loss, did you?"
The best friend was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something: "Lixin, when you borrowed 150,000 from me before, did you give it to him/her?"
Li Lixin nodded hesitantly: "She said her father had a car accident, and her family was being hunted by loan sharks. The loan sharks wanted to capture him and sell him off, so I borrowed 300,000 yuan. There's no way she could have lied to me."
Everyone was silent.
A man was speechless and said, "Xiao Li, these are things women in the entertainment industry often say. How can you believe them? How can it be such a coincidence that my father got into a car accident and the loan sharks came to chase him?"
"How did you give me the money? Is it too late to get it back now?!"
My best friend was extremely anxious.
Even though these young men seem to be generous, they actually don't have a formal job yet and have limited money at their disposal.
These 150,000 yuan are his New Year’s money over the years!
"I still don't believe it!"
Li Lixin shook his head like a rattle.
He clenched his fists, veins popping out on his neck, "Xiao Yun knows me very well, she is very smart and kind, she would never lie to me! We are close friends!"
Gu Xicao coughed and cleared his throat: "Mr. Li, have you ever thought about how a stranger can know you so well?"
"What you mean is that the person who cheated him was an acquaintance?!" In order to get his money back, the best friend's brain worked so fast for the first time.
Gu Xicao nodded: "This person is not only an acquaintance of Mr. Li, but also his relative."
Wow? !
Everyone was simply shocked.
What kind of shocking gossip is this? Could it be a fight among the Li family? !
"My relatives, how could my relatives..." Li Lixin felt more and more ridiculous as he listened. Most of the relatives of the Li family were rich people. Who would be so idle and bored as to cheat him of his feelings and money? Wait...
A figure suddenly appeared in Li Lixin's mind.
His expression suddenly turned green, "My, my mother's brother?!"
Li Lixin's mother was the third wife. She was born in the slum area - Kowloon Walled City. But because she was born well and was open-minded, she successfully seduced Li Lixin's father when she was a nurse.
Her family thought they could get rich with their daughter, but they didn't expect that their daughter was clear-headed and didn't want to be Voldemort. Apart from buying a house for her family to live in, they only gave them a little money to spend during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.
Therefore, Li Lixin's grandfather's family was very poor, and his uncle came to ask for money several times, but was turned away.
"If the person you are talking about is called Sun Yaoyang, then yes, it is him."
Gu Xicao looked at Li Lixin with sympathy.
Li Lixin's mind was buzzing. He and his mother had always despised their relatives on his grandfather's side for being useless. Therefore, apart from the Li family, outsiders didn't know the names of their relatives.
"Sir, you accidentally took the wrong item. Please take it out."
From behind the study, the waiter's polite voice came.
Everyone looked over in the direction of the sound and through the window saw a waiter stopping a man wearing an outdated and ill-fitting suit.
The man looked okay, but he looked vulgar and his words were even more annoying: "You took the wrong thing? No way, who do you think you are talking to? I am Mrs. Li's brother. Do you know how much money my sister and nephew have? Do I need to take your things?!"
The waiter was spitted all over his face, feeling disgusted but still having to be patient: "So it's Mrs. Li's brother. I'm sorry, but one of us saw you taking a wallet. The wallet was pink, so I don't think it could be yours."
"Meh, who says men can't use pink wallets? I prefer pink, what can you do to me?" Seeing that the waiter was polite, Sun Yaoyang became more and more arrogant and kept poking the waiter's chest with his fingers.
The waiter felt pained and a little angry, and looked at Sun Yaoyang with an unfriendly look.
Seeing this, Sun Yaoyang took out his wallet in an even more arrogant manner. When he took out his wallet, he accidentally took out a pearl bracelet from his pocket.
The pearl bracelet was shining brightly, but it made Li Lixin's face turn pale.
He stood up, his body shaking: "That bracelet was given to Xiaoyun by me before..."
Everyone was stunned.
Secretary Lin was surprised and asked, "Could that person be your uncle, Mr. Li?"
Before she could finish her words, Li Lixin had already rushed out and the crowd quickly made way for him.
In the corridor, Sun Yaoyang was scolding the waiter. When he saw Li Lixin coming out of the study, he immediately said with joy, "Lixin, you came at the right time. This bastard is so arrogant that he thinks your uncle is a thief!"
When the waiter saw Li Lixin, his eyes changed slightly and he began to feel nervous. Young Master Li's family was not ordinary, and if he offended him, he would lose his job.
The waiter was thinking about swallowing his anger and apologizing, but he saw Li Lixin swinging his fist and hitting Sun Yaoyang in the eye.
With a bang.
Sun Yaoyang's eyes suddenly became red and swollen. He felt stars flashing in front of his eyes. He staggered and fell to the ground. He thought to himself, is Li Lixin crazy? Shouldn't he hit the waiter?
Why are you hitting me!
"You are Xiaoyun, right? Did you cheat me of my money and my feelings?"
Li Lixin sat directly on Sun Yaoyang's waist, punching left and right with his fists like he was boxing.
Everyone ran out to watch. The men clapped and cheered, while the women covered their faces and watched the gossip through the gaps between their fingers.
Sun Yaoyang didn't dare to resist when he was beaten at first, and he felt even more guilty after hearing what Li Lixin said. However, he couldn't stand Li Lixin's beating him to death, so he immediately stopped and wrestled with Li Lixin: "Yes, so what if I cheated you of your money? I'm your uncle, what's wrong with you showing respect to your uncle..."
“Huh!”
Everyone was shocked, their faces filled with excitement and gossip.
Wang Mingqiang, who was specially invited, couldn't help but take several photos with his camera. Damn, it's quite explosive. Everyone knows that the circle of wealthy families is chaotic, but the news that an uncle pretends to be a woman and falls in love with his nephew to cheat him of money is simply unheard of. Even Qiong Yao wouldn't dare to make up such a story!
In the end, it was Li Lixin’s best friend who was afraid that someone would be killed, so he brought a few men to help pull the fight apart.
Li Lixin's face was filled with grief and indignation, and the look in his eyes about Sun Yaoyang seemed as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"Li Xin, you should be more open-minded. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back." His best friend kindly comforted him.
Li Lixin gnashed his teeth and said, "Let it go, how can I let it go? Fuck his ancestors, this is my first love, ugh..."
When Li Lixin thought that the person he wrote those sweet words and love poems to was his uncle, he really wanted to become a monk.
Everyone felt sympathy but couldn't help but find it funny.
After this incident, everyone believed that Gu Xicao was really effective, at least those present today believed it.
After all, it is impossible for Li Lixin to use his personal affairs to support Gu Xicao.
"Ms. Gu," Secretary Lin gave the brooch to Gu Xicao and arranged for a driver to take Gu Xicao back. When Gu Xicao was about to get in the car, she saw a woman in a one-shoulder black satin dress walking quickly down the stairs.
The driver whispered, "Master Gu, that's Zhou Minwen, a female star."
Gu Xicao recognized her without the driver's introduction. After all, this female star was really beautiful and very popular. "Miss Zhou, what can I do for you?"
Zhou Minwen smiled and said, "Miss Gu, today I have seen your ability. I would like to make an appointment with you to help me calculate my fortune. When is a convenient time and how much would you charge?"
"Tomorrow, if you need it."
Gu Xicao felt that today's shock was a bit too much for her, and she needed to take a break. "I'm over at Temple Street, you can come over whenever you are free."
"Well, I'll come to see you tomorrow." Zhou Minwen nodded.
Her smile is bright and charming, like the morning sun in spring.
After Gu Xicao got in the car, she was still sighing to the gossip system in her mind: "It's strange, such a beautiful female star, why is there no news in the future."
The gossip system said: "It's very simple, she died early."
Gu Xicao: Huh?!
