Chapter 024 The Twenty-Fourth Melon
"Xiao Gu, how was the party? Do rich people's parties have lots of food and lots of pretty girls and handsome guys?"
Gu Xicao was still a little dazed when she got home. It was only when Mrs. Lin came over to ask about it that she came to her senses and said, "Yes, there are a lot of things to eat. They even packed some food for me. If you don't mind, let's share it."
Secretary Lin was really thoughtful. Knowing that Gu Xicao had a younger brother, he asked someone to pack several dishes for her.
There are two large bags of packed vegetables, which we cannot finish.
Gu Xicao didn't have a refrigerator at home, so she simply took it out and shared it with everyone. She called Lin Yuan out to eat with them.
The landlord moved the table and the fan, and Mrs. Lin and others cleaned up the dishes and came out.
When the lunch boxes were opened, everyone could not help but salivate at the delicious dishes.
Lin Yuan pointed at a dish and asked curiously, "Sister, what is this? It looks so strange."
"Xiao Yuan, you haven't seen this before. This is lobster noodles. Wow, such a big lobster is really valuable. It's worth at least eight hundred, one thousand."
Mrs. Liang had tasted good food before, and she could tell at once that these dishes were not cheap. She couldn't help but compliment Gu Xicao: "Little Gu, you are really capable. Thanks to you, we can eat these expensive things."
"Landlord, please don't say that. If you hadn't taken us in, I wouldn't be where I am today. We are all neighbors, so please don't be polite."
While greeting the landlord, Gu Xicao quickly picked up a piece of lobster meat for Lin Yuan.
After the neighbors had eaten, they forgot to ask about what happened at the party. Gu Xicao was happy not to mention it. The photos taken by Wang Mingqiang were bought out by the Li family, and no newspaper dared to report Li Lixin's scandal.
Gu Xicao was not a person who liked to expose other people's shortcomings. This matter was over and done with. Anyway, Li Lixin would not let his uncle go.
The next day, Gu Xicao gave Wang Laoshi a red envelope when he went to work.
Wang Laoshi looked at the red envelope on the table, was stunned for a moment, took off his sunglasses and looked at Gu Xicao as if he had seen a ghost: "What do you mean?"
"Thank you for accompanying me to Gu's house before. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't be polite to me."
Gu Xicao said with a smile.
When Wang Laoshi heard the reason, he accepted the money and said, "Okay, I'll take it, but I heard that you had trouble with fortune-telling at the Cai family party yesterday?"
Gu Xicao looked at Wang Laoshi in surprise: "How did you know?"
"I know you're the one reported in Today's Times today."
Wang Laoshi said this with a sour tone. He finished gossiping and said, "By the way, who did you tell fortunes for? What did you figure out? Why didn't you dare to report it in the newspaper?"
Gu Xicao understood. It was probably the news written by Wang Mingqiang. Reporter Wang didn't dare to offend the Li family, but was reluctant to give up such a good topic, so he wrote it vaguely.
"You want to know?"
"Of course, who doesn't want to know? The newspapers are full of mystery."
Wang Laoshi patted the newspaper and said, "Reporter Wang is not a kind person. Either you tell the truth or you don't tell the truth. Why do you keep people in suspense?"
Gu Xicao smiled and said, "I am more honest than him."
"Oh, that's right." Wang Laoshi looked at Gu Xicao excitedly.
Gu Xicao smiled and said, "I won't tell you."
Wang Laoshi: “…”
He came back to his senses, snorted, and muttered, "What kind of person is this? Rare."
After chatting with Lao Wang for a while, Gu Xicao was about to do some business when he saw Zhou Minwen coming over with a female friend. Although she was wearing sunglasses, her figure and dress were different from those of ordinary people, and she attracted a lot of attention.
"Ms. Gu." Zhou Minwen walked to Gu Xicao's stall. She looked at the stall and showed surprise on her face. "Is this the table in your stall?"
"Yes." Gu Xicao finally felt a little embarrassed in front of the beautiful woman, "It's not convenient to talk here, why don't we go to a nearby coffee shop."
The agent breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that this Master Gu might have some quirks or principles that would require him to tell fortunes on the street. If it was fortune-telling, that would be fine, but she was afraid that the paparazzi would find out and cause a commotion.
Gu Xicao handed the stall to Wang Laoshi to help watch over it, and he and Zhou Minwen got up and left.
It was past nine in the morning and there were not many people in the coffee shop. The prices in this kind of petty-bourgeois coffee shop are not cheap, with a cup of coffee costing fifty or sixty yuan, which is unaffordable for most people.
Therefore, it was convenient for Gu Xicao and Zhou Minwen.
After the waiter served the coffee, Zhou Minwen took off her sunglasses and said, "I'm sorry, there are a lot of paparazzi following me recently, and I wore sunglasses because I was afraid of being photographed by them."
"I understand. Miss Zhou is very popular recently." Gu Xicao added two sugar cubes to the coffee and asked while stirring, "Miss Zhou, my fee is 188 per session. I'll charge you first and then tell you the fortune. I can tell you anything."
The price of 188 surprised both Zhou Minwen and her agent.
The agent whispered to Zhou Minwen, "Isn't this price too cheap? I heard that Shao Min and her friends in Taiwan hired someone to calculate it, and it costs tens of thousands of yuan each time."
Zhou Minwen whispered: "Master Gu is really capable, he doesn't need the money."
Gu Xicao really wanted to say that she was actually short of money.
But she doesn't want to just tell fortunes for rich people. Ordinary people can also afford the price of 188.
"What? Have you two thought about it?"
Gu Xicao thought about it and asked directly without saying anything.
Zhou Minwen readily paid four hundred yuan to Gu Xicao: "Master Gu, you don't have to change the extra money. I would like to ask you to help me calculate the career of me and my sister first."
"You want to count your sister?"
Gu Xicao was a little surprised.
Zhou Minwen nodded and said, "Yes, my sister graduated from preparatory course this year, but she doesn't want to go to university. I don't know what to arrange for her to do."
"Master, please help Minwen calculate her career and marriage first, and talk about her sister later." The agent interrupted, and when he mentioned the sister, his brows slightly frowned and the corners of his mouth curled up, obviously he didn't like the sister very much.
Zhou Minwen was somewhat helpless, "My business is not that important, Zhuzhu's business is what's worrying me now."
"She's not important at all. No matter how important she is, she's not as important as you," the agent said disapprovingly. "Sometimes it's not that I want to be nosy, it's that you shouldn't spoil her too much."
It seemed that the two were about to quarrel.
Gu Xicao coughed, "Have you discussed it? Who should be counted first?"
"Master, let's calculate Awen's marriage first!" The agent said quickly with a turn of his eyes.
Gu Xicao looked at Zhou Minwen.
Zhou Minwen obviously couldn't do anything to her agent, so she spread her hands and said, "Just listen to her. After all, she's my agent and my best friend."
The agent smiled and turned to Zhou Minwen and said, "Awen, it's not that I'm partial to you, I just want you to care more about yourself. Your sister isn't young anymore, she must be older than Master Gu. Master Gu can support herself, but she still relies on you for support, and..."
"Okay, okay." Zhou Minwen quickly covered her agent's mouth and showed an embarrassed look to Gu Xicao: "You calculated my marriage fate."
Zhou Minwen also intended to use this to test Gu Xicao's ability.
Gu Xicao smiled and said, "Ms. Zhou is dating Mr. Qian Lin now, right?"
Zhou Minwen and her agent were both shocked.
The agent widened his eyes and looked at Zhou Minwen: Have you told her?
Zhou Minwen shook her head. She said to Gu Xicao with admiration, "Ms. Gu, you can even figure this out. I am completely impressed by you. Yes, I have been dating A-Lin for half a year, but I was a little scared. A-Lin said he wanted to get married, and I was a little hesitant. My sister doesn't like A-Lin either."
"If you're going to get married, this person isn't the right one."
Gu Xicao said, "Mr. Qian has no future and is also a playboy. He will cheat in the future."
"Ah?!" Zhou Minwen was stunned, a little surprised but also felt it was expected.
The agent immediately became angry and said, "He actually dared to cheat and betray Awen. He is simply a bastard!"
"Oh, then you misunderstood. He didn't betray Miss Zhou, but someone else."
Gu Xicao interrupted her agent.
Zhou Minwen asked doubtfully, "Do you mean that Qian Lin and I will break up soon?"
"No." Gu Xicao shook her head: "Qian Lin didn't betray you, but if nothing unexpected happens, you will die in the middle of next month."
???
Gu Xicao's gentle words caused Zhou Minwen and her agent to change their expressions.
The agent was so shocked that he accidentally knocked over the coffee cup and was scalded by the coffee, but he didn't care and said in disbelief: "Ms. Gu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Awen is fine. She is in good health. How could she die?"
"That's right. I had a physical examination at the beginning of the year, and the doctor said that I was healthier than many people!" Zhou Minwen also felt that what Gu Xicao said was outrageous.
I am a living and healthy person, but suddenly I am told that I will die in the middle of next month. Who would dare to believe it? Who would be willing to believe it?
"Your body is very healthy, but I didn't say you would die because of illness."
Gu Xicao said meaningfully: "There are many times in this world when accidents happen. Some are real accidents, and some are man-made disasters."
"No way, that Qian Lin wants to kill Awen?!"
The agent was furious. "He's just a gigolo. He can only get roles thanks to Awen. Why did he harm Awen?"
Gu Xicao: “…”
She coughed: "Could it be someone else?"
"Others, Ah Wen's competitor He Fang? I have heard that she has a □□ boss as a backer, but everyone just fought for a few roles, there is no need to take lives, right?"
The agent was worried and uneasy. She scratched her hair and racked her brains to think about who Zhou Minwen had offended.
But after thinking about it, I couldn't imagine that although Zhou Minwen was famous, she was a very cautious and tactful person. She would not offend anyone unless it was necessary. She had a very good reputation in the circle, so no one would want to kill her.
Zhou Minwen became quiet at this time. After thinking for a while, her face gradually lost color and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Her lips trembled: "No, no, it can't be..."
