Chapter 069 The Sixty-Ninth Melon
"Miss Gu, we meet again."
When Xu Yiyang and his assistant pushed open the door, he smiled at Gu Xicao.
Gu Xicao looked up from the TV and felt a little helpless when she saw her: "Ms. Xu, why do you have to work so hard on me? I think your TV station is so famous, there must be a lot of people willing to be on the show."
"But those people are not you, Miss Gu." Xu Yiyang put down the egg tarts he bought on the way, "I heard that this egg tart is very delicious, so I queued up to buy it for you."
Wang Laoshi took a look at the bag and exclaimed, "Isn't this the Meixing egg tarts where the queue is at least two hours?"
"That's the one. The egg tarts there are the best in Hong Kong." Xu Yiyang smiled at Gu Xicao and said, "Miss Gu, don't be polite with me. Freshly baked ones won't taste as good if they're left for too long."
Gu Xicao looked at Xu Yiyang helplessly.
She took out the money and said, "How much is it? I'll pay you."
"No need. Aren't we friends? How can we be so calculating among friends?" Xu Yiyang waved his hand and said generously, "If you like it, I'll buy it for you next time."
Seeing her say that, Gu Xicao didn't hesitate anymore.
Of course, she wouldn't go on the show.
She took an egg tart, which was really good. The crust was crispy, and the egg tart inside was soft and full of milk flavor, with a hint of coffee aroma.
If it was something else and Xu Yiyang asked her for help, Gu Xicao might really agree.
After all, people are soft-hearted.
Gu Xicao ate while looking at Xu Yiyang: "Miss Xu, do you need my help with anything else? In addition to the show, I will help you once for free for the sake of the egg tarts."
Xu Yiyang was a little excited at first, but when he heard the last sentence, he felt helpless. He sat back, thought for a while, and said, "Yes, it's my best friend. Her name is Chen Miaoling. She is getting a divorce from her husband recently. Can you help me calculate whether her divorce from her husband can go smoothly?"
This is much easier.
Gu Xicao asked the system while eating.
The system said faintly, "They are still getting divorced. The couple is very loving now. Her best friend told her husband all the bad things Xu Yiyang said about her husband, and now she is here to cause trouble for her."
"What's going on? What did the master figure out?"
Xu Yiyang looked at Gu Xicao with anticipation and curiosity.
She had come to harass Gu Xicao quite often in the past few days, so she naturally knew that Gu Xicao's fortune-telling was different from others. Other fortune-telling masters had to count on their fingers, look at the face, palm, and horoscope, and some even had to touch the bones, but Gu Xicao didn't need anything, and she only needed to know a name or appearance.
Gu Xicao put down the egg tart and wiped her mouth with a tissue, "Ms. Xu, have you told your best friend a lot of bad things about her husband?"
Xu Yiyang's eyes widened, and he leaned forward, surprised and said, "Yes, you can calculate this, but I'm not saying anything bad about her husband. Her husband is not a human being. He has cheated my best friend badly. You don't even know that man is a scumbag. He owed more than 300,000 yuan in loan sharks from gambling outside, and he even wanted to steal her dowry of several sets of gold to pay off the debt. Do you think he is still a human being?"
"He is definitely not a human being. Gambling is wrong in itself, and he even owes usury. Loan sharking can cost lives, and it's not something that ordinary people can afford to touch." Wang Laoshi looked serious.
"That's right. Any normal person would advise them to get a divorce if they heard this."
Xu Yiyang clapped his hands and said in deep agreement, "When they were dating before, I advised my bestie to break up. Not only did the man have a low education, but he was also always flirting with other girls outside. Unfortunately, my bestie got pregnant accidentally, so we had no choice but to get married. But now it's like this, if we don't divorce, won't we have to die together?"
Gu Xicao expressed deep sympathy for Xu Yiyang.
As someone who has seen many scumbag men and slutty women in the 21st century, Gu Xicao can say responsibly that a woman who knows that a man is wrong from the beginning of the relationship but refuses to break up doesn't care at all how bad the man is.
Or maybe, this is what they like.
"Ms. Xu, I have a suggestion for you. You should hide right now and we will call the police right now." Gu Xicao said kindly, "Your friend and her husband have no intention of divorcing. On the contrary, her husband knows that you are instigating her to divorce, and he has already taken a taxi to come and beat you up."
"What?!"
Xu Yiyang was startled and stood up quickly.
The assistant followed suit half-assed, but also stood up in a panic.
Wang Laoshi was eating an egg tart and was startled when he heard this. He choked and helped to look outside. He saw a taxi stopped at the door. Wang Laoshi quickly swallowed the egg tart in his mouth and said, "Miss Xu, you guys go in quickly. We will handle this."
"Oh, oh, okay, okay."
Xu Yiyang had never encountered such a thing in her life. In the entertainment industry, she was used to seeing women beating cheating men and wives beating mistresses. She never thought that one day she would encounter her best friend's husband beating her.
At that moment, she pulled her assistant and hurriedly hid in the office.
"Husband, calm down." Chen Miaoling hurriedly paid the taxi fare, caught up with Wu Gengqing, and tried to hold him back: "Don't mess around, hitting someone is against the law."
"It's against the law, so what? The worst that can happen is that I go to jail!" Wu Gengqing opened the door of the Divine Calculation Office, his tattooed arms gleaming, holding a steel pipe in his hand. As soon as he came in, his eyes swept across the entire hall like a venomous snake, "Xu Yiyang, Xu Yiyang, you bitch, get out here!"
When Wang Laoshi saw that the man was holding a steel pipe, he knew something was wrong. He said to Gu Xicao, "Call the police immediately. I'll go over and stop them."
He walked towards Wu Gengqing and his wife and said, "Sir, you have come to the wrong place. We are a fortune teller. If you want to have your fortune told, we have a discount today."
"Just shut up, you old man. Stop pretending. My wife told me a long time ago that bitch told her she would come here today. Look, these egg tarts are all here. Someone must have been here!"
When Wu Gengqing saw the egg tarts on the table, he immediately went over, grabbed them and threw them on the ground as if he had found some evidence.
Not only was the good egg tarts wasted by being thrown away like this, but it also made the place dirty.
Gu Xicao had already called the police and stood up: "Sir, we don't know what you are talking about. You'd better leave quickly, otherwise the police will come and treat you rudely."
"Blow it, police, am I still afraid of the police?"
Wu Gengqing held the steel pipe and pointed it at Gu Xicao little by little. He glanced towards the office and suddenly reacted. Before Gu Xicao could stop him, he rushed over and kicked open the office door.
"ah!!"
An assistant screamed from the office.
"Hey, you said he wasn't here, but he's right here!" Wu Gengqing pointed at Xu Yiyang, "You bitch, you're the one who asked my wife to divorce me, and you even said you were going to sue me!"
Xu Yiyang protected the assistant behind her and walked out with her. Even though she already knew that her best friend had betrayed her, she still felt a little pain in her heart when she heard these words. "I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't tell her anything."
"Yiyang, how can you say that?"
Chen Miaoling covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Xu Yiyang with a hurt face, "It was you who told me to divorce my husband and said that you had to collect information about my husband's gambling and debts so that you could get custody of our son."
"Look, you all heard it, this bitch is a badass. People say it's better to destroy ten temples than to break up a family, but she's so good. We are a loving family of three, but she's a gossipy bitch. No man wants her, so she wants to break up our family, and she's happy."
Wu Gengqing spit on the ground: "Bah, you just think about it, you don't know how much A Ling loves me, A Ling is pregnant with my second son, how could she bear to leave me!"
Xu Yiyang looked at Chen Miaoling in surprise.
Chen Miaoling dodged her gaze and lowered her head to touch her belly, "Yi Yang, don't blame me, it's your own fault. You don't have a man who wants you, but you actually want me to divorce you. In fact, I know that you have always been jealous that I live a better life than you, right?"
Even Wang Laoshi, a man, suspected that there was water in his ears after hearing what Chen Miaoling said.
What does it mean to be jealous that you have a good life and that there are men who want you?
A compulsive gambler who also owes loan sharks. This kind of man doesn't even want a discount and even thinks he's unlucky.
She actually thinks that others are jealous of her? !
"You miss me so much?!" Xu Yiyang looked as if he had eaten a fly alive, "Have you been missing me like this since you started dating him?"
"Of course." Wu Gengqing put his arm around Chen Miaoling's waist and said to Xu Yiyang with disdain, "A Ling told me a long time ago that you always say bad things about me. Moreover, she also said that you are annoying. You always tell her to be independent and make her own money. You also always say that men are unreliable and you have to rely on yourself. If you hadn't been pestering her all the time, she would have cut off her friendship with you a long time ago."
Hearing the heartfelt words he had said to Chen Miaoling in the past coming out of a man's mouth, Xu Yiyang felt his stomach churning.
She looked at Chen Miaoling and suddenly realized that she was really blind. How could she not realize that a woman who liked a bad man could not be good at all.
"Okay, since we're going to break up, then let's do it now. Chen Miaoling, don't come to me again. What happened between you and your husband has nothing to do with me."
Xu Yiyang gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word.
Chen Miaoling was a little flustered, but in front of everyone, she insisted: "If we don't want to be friends, then we don't want to be friends. Do you think I don't know? You have always been very self-righteous. You are friends with me just to use me to set off yourself. Yes, you study better than me, look prettier than me, and work better than me, but you are so capable, so what? Do you have a man who wants you? Look at yourself, you are in your thirties and still alone. A woman like you can only be a stepmother in the future. I am not as stupid as you. I found my husband a long time ago, and now I have a second son. You can't even envy me!"
Wang Laoshi opened his mouth, not knowing what to complain about.
Xu Yiyang was able to become a TV program producer in his thirties. He was truly an exceptional talent with a bright future ahead of him.
Does it matter to others whether you are married or not, or whether you have a son or not?
"I now know that these are your true thoughts."
Xu Yiyang stared at Chen Miaoling with a complicated expression, "All the words you said to support me were false, right?"
"That's right. I hate it the most when you keep talking about those things. You said that there was a rich second-generation kid chasing you, and that your boss valued you. I feel so annoyed when I hear that. Why should I listen to you bragging about yourself?"
Chen Miaoling said sarcastically.
Xu Yiyang's eyes went dark. That so-called rich second generation was chasing her. It was obvious that that rich second generation was harassing her and wanted her to be his lover.
As a result, she even felt that this was showing off.
"Wife, why are you telling her this?"
Wu Gengqing hugged Chen Miaoling's waist affectionately and said to Xu Yiyang: "Mr. Xu, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Since you used to be my wife's best friend, you have to pay 50,000 yuan. This time, your attempts to sow discord between us will end here. Otherwise, haha..."
"What else do you want?"
Gu Xicao asked.
She crossed her arms, glanced outside, then looked back at Chen Miaoling, "Ms. Chen, do you condone your husband's current behavior? He is blackmailing Miss Xu. Isn't she your friend for many years?"
Chen Miaoling's face darkened. "Friends, what friends? We were just classmates. Besides, she is so rich anyway. What's the harm in giving us 50,000 yuan?"
yes.
Fifty thousand yuan might be a large sum of money for others, but for Xu Yiyang, who wears designer clothes and eats only branded goods, it is just the money to buy a bag.
But why did Xu Yiyang take out this money? She was so angry that she sneered, "I think you two are really a good match. I was wrong before. You are both shameless and shameless! You want money, I tell you, no way!"
"No way, right? You're fucking forcing me. Wait until I blow your head off, and then you'll know whether it's possible or not!"
Wu Gengqing suddenly became furious and raised the steel pipe in his hand and hit Xu Yiyang on the head.
Peng——
There was a loud noise and everyone was so scared that they quickly covered their ears and closed their eyes.
"Put your things down, put your head in your hands, and squat on the ground!"
Lin Jianyi rushed in with Sun Zhaogan.
Wu Gengqing put down the steel pipe with a thud, reached out to touch his ear, and his hand was covered in blood.
"Ah, husband, your ears are bleeding!"
Chen Miaoling looked at Wu Gengqing's ears and screamed.
"F-F--" Before Wu Gengqing could finish his curse, Lin Jianyi pointed a gun at his head and said, "Hold your head, squat down, and I'll count to 1, 2, 3!"
No matter how daring Wu Gengqing was, he didn't dare to act like that under the gunpoint of the police. He was so scared that his face turned pale, and he squatted down with his head in his hands, trembling, "Police, I didn't do anything, you, you don't wrongly accuse us."
"I didn't do anything. Do you two think we are blind? When we were outside, we saw you holding a steel pipe and trying to hit someone. We also heard that you wanted to extort 50,000 yuan from someone. You are really powerful and have a big appetite."
Lin Jianyi patted Wu Gengqing on the head and looked at Gu Xicao: "Are you okay?"
Gu Xicao shook her head. "I'm fine, but Miss Xu was frightened."
"Yi Yang, Yi Yang, we were just joking with you, you wouldn't take it seriously, would you?"
When Chen Miaoling saw the police coming and knew what had just happened, she panicked and didn't know what to do. She looked at Xu Yiyang for help, just like she did every time she encountered difficulties.
Xu Yiyang looked at Chen Miaoling's pale face, feeling extremely complicated. She opened her lips and said, "That's not what you said just now."
"Yi Yang, yes, I was wrong. I am narrow-minded. I have been jealous of you for so many years. But think about it. We have been together for so many years. You don't want to see my husband go to jail. My two sons can't be without a father."
Chen Miaoling looked at Xu Yiyang pleadingly, with her hands clasped together.
Xu Yiyang was still hesitant at first, but when he heard about his two sons, his expression changed slightly. "I'm sorry, just like I said, we are no longer friends. What happened to your sons and your husband has nothing to do with me. I want to sue the two policemen for attempting to injure someone with a weapon and extortion."
"Yes, we can all testify to that."
Gu Xicao and Wang Laoshi raised their hands.
Chen Miaoling was furious. She glared at Xu Yiyang with red eyes, and kept shouting at her husband to catch up with the police car while angrily scolding Xu Yiyang: "You have no conscience. Just wait for retribution. No man will want you in this life."
I have to say.
Hearing these words, Gu Xicao could hardly hold back her laughter.
Xu Yiyang and his assistant looked at Gu Xicao in confusion.
Gu Xicao waved her hands: "Nothing, Miss Xu, I just think this person is very interesting. In her eyes, not having a man is actually a curse."
Xu Yiyang showed a helpless expression.
Perhaps she had neglected to pay attention to Chen Miaoling since the past. Chen Miaoling was different from her. From childhood to adulthood, she had always cared about male classmates. It was just that when they were studying in the past, everyone was busy with their studies, so she was embarrassed to show it.
"I'm so sorry to have to trouble you to accompany us to take the statement today." Xu Yiyang said apologetically.
Gu Xicao said: "What's the big deal? It's just a pity for these egg tarts. Such good things are wasted like this."
She squatted down, picked up all the egg tarts and threw them into the trash can.
"I'll buy it for you next time. Consider it my compensation." Xu Yiyang was a little surprised. She felt more and more special about Gu Xicao.
She had a hunch that as long as Gu Xicao could be on the show, their metaphysics show would definitely become a big hit in Hong Kong!
"No, it's enough to eat delicious food once."
Gu Xicao was very open-minded, but on the other hand, she could not stand Xu Yiyang's nagging. This woman was really determined.
"Xiao Gu, you're finally back. Good news, great news!"
After getting off work and returning home, Gu Xicao saw a group of neighbors gathered at the elevator door and whispering.
Seeing Gu Xicao coming back, Mrs. Lin came over to greet her warmly.
Lin Yuan also squeezed through the crowd and took Gu Xicao's hand: "Sister, we are moving."
"Moving, where to?" Gu Xicao asked.
Mrs. Lin took out the document and pointed to the address on it. "Look, it's right here. It's very close to our building, and everyone can choose where to live."
"So good?" Gu Xicao looked at the address on the document and it was indeed nearby.
"Yes, Xiao Gu, which house do you want to live in? I think you should live next door to our house, so that I can help you take care of Ayuan." Ever since Gu Xicao helped her niece last time, Mrs. Lin has become more and more enthusiastic towards Gu Xicao, treating her like one of her own.
Gu Xicao thought about it. Her work was sometimes busy and sometimes not busy. There was no fixed schedule. Sometimes she came home late from get off work and A Yuan was waiting for her with an empty stomach. "If this is possible, that would be great. But I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you often in the future."
"It's no trouble. If there is any trouble, I can cook more."
Mrs. Lin said cheerfully.
Mrs. Liang came over and heard this. She cried out, slapped her thigh and said, "Xiao Gu, have you agreed to be Mrs. Lin's neighbor?"
"Yeah, what are you doing?" Gu Xicao said with a smile, "I robbed your good neighbor."
"It's true that I robbed you."
Mrs. Liang rolled her eyes at Mrs. Lin in annoyance and said, "You are smart and run fast."
Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Landlord, it doesn't matter who you are neighbors with. Besides, when you move in, everyone will just rent your house and we will still be neighbors."
That's true.
Speaking of this, it is rare that everyone on Ziwei Road is happy about moving. Although they are reluctant to see the building demolished, they can still live together after the demolition, and after the house is built, they will have the opportunity to continue to be neighbors.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for everyone who has been neighbors for decades.
We were given five days to move.
Gu Xicao originally wanted to take a few days off to pack up, but Mrs. Lin and others took over the job directly.
"Xiao Gu, just go and take care of your business. We'll help you move the things at home over there, and you can just clean up after yourself later."
Both Mrs. Lam and Mrs. Leung said so.
Gu Xicao said, "How can I feel so embarrassed? You are so old, and I ask you to do such heavy work."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? We plan to hire a team of workers to help us move it over. It's easy, just keep an eye on it." Mrs. Liang waved her hand, "You thought we were going to move it ourselves? That's ridiculous. We are old and can't do this kind of work."
It turns out they wanted to hire a work team, which was still acceptable.
Gu Xicao didn't dare to think about what a wonderful scene it would be to let these old neighbors move house. She was afraid that at the end of the day, many of them would suffer from lumbar disc herniation.
Gu Xicao did not want to take advantage of others. She asked everyone how much they wanted to contribute and then contributed her own share. She packed her own clothes in the package, and there was nothing else to pack in the room.
Lin Yuan was very excited because Gu Xicao planned to rent a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment when they moved there. This way, Lin Yuan and Gu Xicao could both have their own rooms.
Neither of them wanted to live in a Western-style house. Although it was luxurious, it was not popular after all. It would be better to live with neighbors who had more human touch.
