Chapter 044 The Forty-Fourth Melon
"Ms. Gu?"
Lin Qianshi had just come down from upstairs when he saw the tense and angry atmosphere in the private room. He didn't want to care about it at first, but when he found that Gu Xicao was among them, he walked over.
Gu Xicao didn't realize at first that he was calling her. It was only when Lin Qianshi came over that she realized, "Mr. Lin, what a coincidence?"
"Well, what are you doing..." Lin Qianshi glanced at the crowd. He was wearing a British-style twill suit, the jewel brooch on his tie was sparkling, and his rolled-up sleeves revealed the backs of his hands with bulging veins, giving him a dandy temperament.
"Brother Lin."
Wang Xueli quickly stood up and greeted Lin Qianshi with a slightly blushing cheek.
Li Yali and others also greeted her. Li Yali even asked directly, "Brother Qianshi, do you know her?"
"I know her. I've dealt with Miss Gu several times." Lin Qianshi's words clearly contained a protective tone. If it were an ordinary situation, Li Yali would naturally have to hold her nose and let Gu Xicao go.
But today, Gu Xicao slandered her boyfriend so much, how could she let her go?
"Brother Qianshi, you must have been bewitched by her. This woman is very unlucky. She doesn't like me and says that Ah Hong is a swindler and that she came here specifically to deceive me!"
Li Yali glared at Gu Xicao angrily.
When Chen Hong saw Lin Qianshi coming over, he was a little nervous, afraid that things would get out of hand. He swallowed his saliva, pulled Li Yali and said, "Yali, forget it. I won't bother with her anymore."
"But..." How could Li Yali be willing to do that? What Gu Xicao did today was not for Chen Hong's sake, but for her own.
If these rumors spread, both she and Chen Hong would be laughed at!
"Mr. Lin, you came at the right time. Can you help me with a high-level math problem?" Gu Xicao asked while looking at Lin Qian.
"Advanced mathematics?" Lin Qianshi was stunned, a hint of doubt flashed across his pupils.
"Yes, thank you for your help." Gu Xicao said, "I owe you a favor."
She took out a pen and paper from her bag and handed them to Lin Qianshi.
Lin Qianshi looked at the paper and pen, smiled, and thought it was a little funny. He took it and said, "No need to be so polite. It's just a question. How difficult should it be?"
"Just an ordinary one will do." Gu Xicao said, "Don't make it too difficult, or people will say I'm making things difficult for others."
Wang Xueli and the others all looked confused, but Gu Yue'e looked thoughtful, as if she understood something.
Lin Qianshi casually wrote a high-level math problem that required the use of Lagrange's theorem and handed it to Gu Xicao.
Gu Xicao took a look, then looked at Lin Qianshi.
She handed the paper to Chen Hong.
Chen Hong: "You, why are you giving me this?"
"You solve it." Gu Xicao said confidently, "You claim to have graduated from a prestigious university, so you should be able to solve that advanced math problem, right?"
Everyone then suddenly realized.
Cai Yuyan said: "Yes, we will know if you have real ability after one test."
Li Yali was full of confidence. "It's just a math problem. What's the big deal? Ah Hong, solve it and show her what you can do!"
The smile on Chen Hong's face was a little forced. He held the pen, the tip of which was shaking. His eyes fell on the math problem, but he couldn't understand the characters when they were put together.
Beads of sweat slid down his cheeks.
When everyone saw him like this, they all showed suspicion on their faces.
Gu Yue'e glanced at the question, her face strange, and said, "This question is very simple, even a university undergraduate can solve it. Mr. Chen, you can't be unable to answer it, right?"
"I, I..." Chen Hong slammed his pen on the table. He looked at Gu Xicao with a grim expression: "So what if I can't answer it? Do all college students know math?"
“College students may not all know math, but they don’t think of chemistry problems as math problems.”
Gu Xicao stretched out the last syllable, "No, not to mention college students, even Form 5 students can tell that there's something wrong with the question, Mr. Chen."
Chemistry question?!
Everyone rushed over to take a look, and when they saw the question on the paper, their mouths opened wide. This was just a chemistry question!
It's understandable if you can't solve advanced math problems, but if you can't even recognize what the questions are, you're definitely a liar!
Li Yali stared at Chen Hong with eyes wide open, her lips trembling, "No, it's impossible, you, you lied to me!"
"Yali, I lied about my academic qualifications, but I really love you. I, my feelings for you are real."
When Chen Hong saw the disgust in Li Yali's eyes, he suddenly panicked and stepped forward to hold Li Yali's hand.
Gu Xicao said quietly, "Really? I don't believe it."
"You bitch, shut up!"
Chen Hong became furious and seeing that Gu Xicao was getting more and more angry, he clenched his fist and punched Gu Xicao in the face.
Everyone screamed in fear.
Gu Xicao narrowed her eyes and was about to hit someone with her bag, but the person next to her was faster than her. He grabbed Chen Hong's fist and pressed him down on the table with his backhand.
This skillful grappling technique is so clean and neat that it can be used as a textbook.
"It's not manly to hit a girl." Lin Qianshi locked Chen Hong's arm and squeezed it hard, causing Chen Hong to scream in pain.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin." Gu Xicao looked at Lin Qianshi with some admiration. She didn't expect that this young master was actually quite skilled in martial arts.
"You're welcome." Lin Qianshi looked at Gu Xicao: "You haven't finished what you want to say yet, so say it now."
Wow, that's very thoughtful.
Gu Xicao felt sorry. It was a pity that Lin Qianshi was a young master. Otherwise, he could be hired as a bodyguard. She retracted her thoughts and looked at Li Yali, "Miss Li, aren't you curious about how he, a gangster from Taiwan, can know so much about your itinerary?"
Li Yali frowned, a look of doubt on her face, "You mean, there is someone around me who told him the news?"
"That's right."
Gu Xicao asked: "Do you want to know?"
"Nonsense, of course I thought about it!" Li Yali said unhappily.
Gu Xicao stretched out his hand, rubbed his thumb and index finger together, then tilted his head to look at Li Yali.
Li Yali didn't understand at first.
Lin Qianshi was also confused, not knowing what Gu Xicao meant by this action.
Gu Yue'e cleared her throat and said, "Miss Gu means that we have to pay."
Everyone: “…”
Li Yali's face darkened as she quickly signed a check and handed it to Gu Xicao: "30,000 yuan, okay? Tell me now!"
She felt a little sad. Although her parents loved her, they didn't give her much money.
The 30,000 yuan is her monthly pocket money.
"Thank you for your patronage. Come to me next time if you need anything."
Gu Xicao said that although Li Yali was annoying, money was not annoying. She did not keep it a secret and pointed at Li Yali's sister Li Yuxin beside her, "She is the one who betrayed you."
When Li Yuxin heard Gu Xicao speak, her heart almost jumped into her throat. When Gu Xicao pointed at her, her heart beat like a drum.
She licked her lips and said dryly, "Ms. Gu, you are kidding us. How could I betray my fourth sister?"
"You two are not born from the same mother."
Gu Xicao's words were so direct that everyone wanted to cover their faces. "Li Yali was loved by your father. She got a villa at the age of 18. You are one year younger than her, but you only got a gem bracelet. Things like this must have happened all the time since you were a child. How can you not be jealous?"
"It's you, really you?"
Li Yali breathed rapidly and looked at Li Yuxin in disbelief.
Li Yuxin was more honest than Chen Hong. Seeing that the truth was revealed, she simply stopped pretending. "So what if it was me? I just told him a few words. He cheated you for money. It's also your own stupidity. You took a man's tricks as your true love. I tell you, seeing you being so affectionate with a liar, I almost died of laughter. I never thought that you, Miss Li Si, would be so stupid and so foolish!"
"You!!! I'm going to fight you!"
Li Yali obviously didn't expect Li Yuxin to be so shameless. She rushed over and wrestled with Li Yuxin.
Li Yuxin is not someone who can be bullied easily. She used to give in to Li Yali in order to gain an advantage over her. Now that the truth has been exposed, it would be strange if Li Yali doesn't hate her to death in the future. If she doesn't vent her anger now, when will she wait?
In the end, it was Gu Yue'e and Cai Yuyan who went up and tore the two apart.
Gu Yue'e was somewhat helpless. After sending the Li sisters away, she personally sent Gu Xicao back: "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect them to come today."
"It's nothing. I didn't lose anything anyway. But Miss Gu, this matter won't affect your business, right?"
Gu Xicao leaned against the car window, feeling the wind, and turned his head to ask Gu Yue'e.
Gu Yue'e shook her head and smiled: "Not really, but after today, I'm sure no one in the circle will doubt your ability, but they probably won't dare to tell fortunes in public."
Gu Xicao thought about it and found that she really couldn't deny it.
Gu Yue'e looked at her profile. The little girl had red lips and white teeth, and was as pretty as a lotus emerging from water. "Miss Gu, are you close to Young Master Lin?"
"No, why do you ask this question?" Gu Xicao asked puzzledly.
Gu Yue'e asked, "Do you still remember Wang Xueli?"
Why don’t you remember?
Gu Xicao was not a goldfish, and Wang Xueli had left a deep impression on her. She wore a Chanel suit, looked at people with her chin, and seemed somewhat hostile to her for some reason.
"Wang Xueli is the only granddaughter of Mrs. Wang and the future heir of the Wang family. She has liked Lin Qianshi since she was a child. At the end of this month, the Lin family will invite many famous ladies to attend the banquet. In fact, they are going to arrange a blind date for Young Master Lin."
Gu Yue'e explained while driving: "Wang Xueli returned to Hong Kong because of this. She is a very vicious person. Anyone who competes with her for something will be retaliated by her. Several rich girls have been 'persuaded' by her to refuse the invitation."
"This person is too domineering,"
Gu Xicao was speechless for a while and shook her head, "Thank you for reminding me, but I don't think I will have many opportunities to interact with her."
"That's a good thing, it's troublesome to deal with people like her."
Gu Yue'e nodded, stopped the car, and watched Gu Xicao go upstairs before leaving.
