Chapter 033 The Thirty-Third Melon
"Celina, won't you introduce me?"
The client waited until Gu Xicao and Zhou Xiufang had exchanged greetings before he spoke with a smile.
Zhou Xiufang came back to her senses, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly introduced: "Ms. Wang, this is Master Gu, who is very accurate in fortune-telling. Master Gu, this is Ms. Wang, the boss lady of Xihaha Food Company."
Hee Ha Ha Food Company?
That's a very famous food company. Gu Xicao stretched out her hand and shook hands with Miss Wang. "No wonder you look so wealthy, you really are very wealthy."
"No, no, it's just luck."
Ms. Wang smiled politely. She looked around and said hesitantly, "We do fortune-telling right here?"
Zhou Xiufang looked at Gu Xicao and said, "Master Gu, can we find a secluded place? Ms. Wang is not short of money."
"That's no problem. There's a coffee shop nearby. Let's go over there."
Gu Xicao said considerately that after all, not everyone is willing to have their fortune told on the roadside, and in order to respect customer needs, the environment can certainly be changed.
Gu Xicao looked at Wang Laoshi.
Wang Laoshi rolled his eyes and shook the newspaper: "Go ahead, I'll help you watch it."
"Thank you very much, Uncle Wang." Gu Xicao smiled and bowed to Wang Laoshi, then left with Ms. Wang and Zhou Xiufang.
Wang Laoshi put down the newspaper, his eyes filled with envy.
He had been there for more than two hours but no one came.
Xiao Gu is really awesome. As soon as he arrives, there are customers.
However, he was just envious. After all, Xiao Gu's abilities were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Ms. Wang, Ms. Zhou, please take a seat. What kind of coffee would you like?"
Gu Xicao called the waiter to ask for a menu.
Ms. Wang said, "Just order any cup. I heard that you are very accurate in fortune-telling, so I want you to help me predict my marriage and career."
When the waiter heard this after placing the order, he couldn't help but look at Gu Xicao curiously before leaving.
Gu Xicao smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just lucky."
Wang Rongyan looked at Gu Xicao, the corners of her lips curled up, and she took out a piece of paper from her bag, "Here are my boyfriend and I's names and birth dates. Please take a look. If you want to calculate the gold, it's easy. If you can calculate it accurately, I'll be willing to give it thousands or tens of thousands."
"That's not necessary."
Gu Xicao took the note and said calmly, "My charge here is 188 per person. If you are willing to pay more, it's fine. You can also just pay 188."
"Isn't that a bit too cheap? The most accurate price in the industry would be at least several thousand." Wang Rongyan said with a hint of doubt in her tone.
To be honest, if Zhou Xiufang hadn't been on good terms with her, and if Wang Rongyan hadn't recently read in the newspaper that Gu Xicao was very accurate in fortune-telling, when she saw the small stall on Temple Street and Gu Xicao's young appearance, Wang Rongyan simply wanted to turn around and leave.
"They are them, and I am me." Gu Xicao said, "Expensive doesn't mean good. For example, a lunch that costs 10,000 yuan may not be as delicious as one that costs 100 yuan. Don't you think so?"
"Yeah, that's what I think. A meal at those big restaurants costs tens of thousands, but it's better to go downstairs and have a bowl of wonton noodles, which is both filling and delicious."
Zhou Xiufang spoke on behalf of Gu Xicao.
Wang Rongyan raised her eyebrows and leaned back. "Well, Master, please do the fortune-telling. To be honest, if I hadn't planned to get married, I would have some concerns and I really wouldn't have thought of asking someone to tell my fortune."
"Ms. Wang, you are so wealthy that it is not cost-effective for you to get married, but I believe you and that gentleman have feelings for each other." Zhou Xiufang said with a smile.
Wang Rongyan sighed, "You're right. I don't know why, but when I see my boyfriend, I feel close to him. I never thought about getting married, but it was because of him that I changed my mind."
"Cough cough cough." Gu Xicao suddenly coughed.
Wang Rongyan and Zhou Xiufang looked at Gu Xicao in confusion: "Master Gu, what's the matter?"
"Let me ask you a few questions first, Miss Wang." Gu Xicao whispered, "How far have you and your boyfriend developed? I mean physically."
Wang Rongyan frowned, a little unhappy: "Is this question important? Can I not answer it?"
"It's very important." Gu Xicao said directly: "It concerns your marriage and your reputation."
Zhou Xiufang was stunned. She looked at Wang Rongyan, whose face was gloomy, and explained in a low voice: "Miss Wang, Master Gu always speaks with substance and will not ask questions casually. Just answer them. We will not talk nonsense outside."
Wang Rongyan looked at Gu Xicao for a moment, then answered reluctantly: "He and I are just initially attracted to each other, and we haven't confirmed our identities yet, let alone any physical contact."
In fact, that little boyfriend just joined the secretarial department of Xihaha Company this year.
Seeing that he was young and capable, Wang Rongyan transferred him to be her secretary. It was also because of their daily contact and deep feelings that Wang Rongyan began to think about marrying him.
Gu Xicao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, there's still time. Excuse me for being blunt, but you can't be with him."
Wang Rongyan frowned: "Why? Because he is a dozen years younger than me? Or..."
She suddenly thought of a possibility and gritted her teeth and said, "Could he be an undercover sent by my cheap son?!"
Zhou Xiufang's eyes widened. She had known Wang Rongyan for some time and knew something about their company's situation.
Although Wang Rongyan is the chairman of the Xihaha Food Company, the food company is not owned by her alone. Instead, she, her husband, son and several other shareholders hold shares together.
Wang Rongyan is tough and capable, so when her husband passed away and the company faced a food safety crisis, she stepped forward to stabilize the company. As a result, she successfully became the chairman of the company. However, her husband's son Wu Qiangzhi was dissatisfied and even believed that Wang Rongyan had deceived his father and occupied the family property. He has always wanted to take back the shares and drive Wang Rongyan away.
But Wang Rongyan had been out in society since she was a teenager, so she was not so easy to deal with. Therefore, although Wu Qiangzhi hated this stepmother, he had no way to deal with her.
"It's not him." Gu Xicao shook her head and said, "But he is also happy to see this happen. The man you are planning to marry is not a bad person. He is very hardworking and filial."
"That's good, what else is the problem?"
Wang Rongyan asked back impatiently.
"Yes, if that's all, then your marriage is quite suitable."
Gu Xicao coughed lightly, "But he is related to you by blood, so this is not appropriate."
ah? !
Wang Rongyan's head buzzed and for a moment she wondered if there was something wrong with her ears. Did she hear it wrongly?
What does it mean to be related by blood?
"That's impossible. His last name is Yuan, and none of our relatives has the last name Yuan."
Wang Rongyan looked at Gu Xicao suspiciously. She thought that Master Gu might be crazy.
Gu Xicao was about to speak, but she shut up when she saw the waiter brought the coffee. She waited until the waiter put down the coffee and left before she looked at Wang Rongyan.
"Ms. Wang, there is something that I'm afraid you haven't heard of. When you were fifteen, you were deceived by a man and accidentally got pregnant. Since you had no money, you had no choice but to give birth to the child, right?"
Wang Rongyan's expression changed instantly.
Her lips trembled, and she stood up suddenly, pointing at Gu Xicao: "You, how do you know this?! No one has known about this for a long time!"
"Ms. Wang, please calm down, otherwise everyone will come over to look at you." Zhou Xiufang was surprised and quickly pulled Wang Rongyan to sit down.
Wang Rongyan glanced at the stunned waiters at the front desk and bit her lip. Although she was embarrassed and annoyed, she knew that this matter might not be that simple. She took a deep breath and sat back down: "What else do you know? Did someone tell you?"
"No one told me," Gu Xicao took a sip of coffee, "You don't have to be too nervous. Who hasn't been cheated when they were young? We are all women. Do you think I would dislike you?"
"That's right, Miss Wang,"
Zhou Xiufang comforted Wang Rongyan: "Don't mention you, even I was almost deceived by my ex-boyfriend. Fortunately, I met Master Gu and saw his true face. You were so young at that time. No one wants this to happen."
Wang Rongyan's face looked pale.
She didn't say anything, but lit a cigarette. She took a deep puff of the cigarette with her scarlet lips and exhaled slowly. "You don't need to comfort me. I know I was stupid at that time. I thought that a man loved me if he slept with me. If I hadn't fallen like this, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get to where I am today."
When Zhou Xiufang heard this, she felt very uncomfortable.
Such self-deprecating words are just to comfort myself.
From giving birth to a child in her teens to becoming a wealthy woman now, she must have endured so much hardship and suffering during this period.
"Are you trying to say that A Tai is my son?" Wang Rongyan calmed down, pulled the corners of her lips, and said with a smile: "That's impossible. My mother said that the child died at birth."
"She lied to you."
Gu Xicao said bluntly: "You and your daughter had a hard time supporting yourselves at that time. How were you going to raise a child? Her choice was to give the child to someone else and then tell you that the child was dead, so that you wouldn't make a fuss."
Wang Rongyan stared at Gu Xicao blankly, her throat dry: "You lied to me?"
"Yes." Gu Xicao nodded. "If you don't believe it, you can ask Yuan Tai's grandmother. His grandmother must remember what your mother looks like."
"But the date of birth is wrong, and Artest's age doesn't match either!" Wang Rongyan couldn't believe what she heard.
Gu Xicao knocked on the table and said, "Age and date of birth can be manipulated. For this, you can just ask Mr. Yuan how old he is this year."
Hearing this, Wang Rongyan immediately stood up and walked to the front desk to borrow a phone.
Zhou Xiufang looked at her from behind and whispered to Gu Xicao, "Master Gu, your words are really scary. I was afraid that Miss Wang was going to hit you just now."
Gu Xicao was helpless: "This kind of thing is scary no matter how I talk about it. I can't do anything about it."
Zhou Xiufang thought about it and agreed.
Who would have thought that the person I was dating was actually the son I gave birth to when I was young.
This is simply a ghost story.
Fortunately, their relationship didn't develop too quickly, otherwise they would be too embarrassed to see anyone now.
