Chapter 087 The Eighty-Seventh Melon
Lin Yuan learned about this after he returned home from school.
After knowing this, he hesitated for a moment, then showed his white teeth happily, "Sister, that's great, it turns out you have relatives here too."
Gu Xicao touched his head and said, "Don't laugh if you don't want to. In my eyes, that so-called relative is not as close as you. Don't worry, no matter what, you are still my brother."
Lin Yuan laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. "Really? You still recognize me as your brother?"
"Stop talking nonsense and do your homework." Gu Xicao flicked Lin Yuan's head.
She didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. When she went to record the show the next day, not only Wang Laoshi knew it, but Xu Yiyang also knew it.
Xu Yiyang was a little surprised. "I said that Miss Gu looked extraordinary at first glance. She really has some background. So you won't be doing our show anymore, right?"
Gu Xicao was putting on makeup. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Ms. Xu, stop joking. It doesn't matter if you recognize him as your grandfather. You still have to make money."
"That's true."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said, "No one is as rich as me."
She didn't know yet that the Wang family planned to transfer half of their assets to Gu Xicao. If she knew, she would definitely not say this.
There were so many more people coming to the show today than before.
In order to reduce the burden on Gu Xicao, Xu Yiyang only selected two groups of people.
The first group is two families. Just by looking at the situations of the two families, one can guess that they are probably in-laws.
A young couple, the man is called Cheng Xianfeng and the woman is called Du Yu.
When this group of people were chosen, they all had stunned expressions on their faces, as if they wanted to resist.
But for some reason, they didn't dare to say no, so when they went on stage one by one, they not only showed no joy, but also looked embarrassed.
Xu Yiyang saw this and felt it was strange. He stepped forward with the microphone and asked, "Are you all a family?"
Cheng Xianfeng glanced at Du Yu and said with a smile: "No, they are my girlfriend's parents. They came with us."
Mr. and Mrs. Du nodded and smiled awkwardly at Gu Xicao.
Xu Yiyang said, "Are you here to calculate the wedding date, or something else?"
"Actually, we don't have to calculate anything," Du Yu looked back at Cheng Xianfeng, "Xianfeng, what do you think? Why not give this opportunity to someone else?"
Cheng Xianfeng also said hurriedly: "Yes, in fact, I was thinking just now, we have everything we need, there is no need to join in the fun, I'm really sorry, let's give this opportunity to others."
Xu Yiyang and Wang Laoshi who was watching from the audience were both surprised.
Ever since the program started recording, Gu Xicao's side has been very busy, with people scrambling for spots, but she has never been despised like today.
If you didn't want to come up, why did you draw lots just now?
Xu Yiyang had a keen intuition and immediately realized that there was something wrong between this couple.
She said, and stepped forward to stop the couple with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, since you are here, just take what you have, isn't this fate?"
Du Yu's forehead was covered with sweat. She looked at Cheng Xianfeng hesitantly, "Do you want it?"
She asked Cheng Xianfeng, "Ah Feng, you were the one who said you wanted to come to this show to have fun. Do you think we should take this spot?"
Cheng Xianfeng looked at his girlfriend, then at her parents, feeling a little hesitant.
Xu Yiyang was a straightforward person, and he directly pulled the two of them to sit down, "Since we are here, just ask if you have anything to ask. Don't be afraid, the master never speaks nonsense, he always means what he says!"
Du Yu and Cheng Xianfeng thought to themselves that they were just afraid that Gu Xicao would really say whatever she wanted to say!
"You two are so young, are you going to get married or are you already married?"
Xu Yiyang looked at Du's father.
Father Du groaned, and waited for Xu Yiyang to repeat the question before he said, "We are getting married. We got engaged yesterday."
After saying that, he tugged at Du's mother's sleeve.
"Yes, we are very busy." Mother Du came to her senses. "We usually do business abroad. If Ayu was not getting engaged, we would not rush here. However, we are very satisfied with Xianfeng. Xianfeng is a young man with great potential. He bought two houses in Hong Kong very early."
"Two houses? This good boy is quite capable."
The uncles and aunts below started talking.
"I can't believe this young man can afford to buy two houses at such a young age. My grandson is still saving for the down payment."
The discussions below were heard above.
Du Yu and Cheng Xianfeng both had proud looks on their faces.
Du Yu leaned on Xianfeng's shoulder shyly, "Actually, I don't value Afeng's money. I like that he is ambitious. Although he is an orphan, he has worked hard to buy two houses. This kind of ambition is not possessed by many boys nowadays."
Many men of the same age in the audience looked almost cuckolded.
Especially for those who brought their girlfriends or wives here, they would feel uneasy when faced with their girlfriends' disdainful looks.
Cheng Xianfeng also said: "Ayu, I am the same. Others say that I like you because your family is rich, but I really only like you as a person."
"Mr. Cheng, are you serious?"
Gu Xicao propped up her chin and looked at Cheng Xianfeng with interest.
Cheng Xianfeng met Gu Xicao's eyes, and for some reason, he felt guilty for a moment, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "Of course it's true. In front of so many viewers, I declare to everyone that I, Cheng Xianfeng, love Du Yu! And it won't change because of anything!"
"Look at him, he's young and promising but still very affectionate!"
After hearing this, a girlfriend couldn't help but step on her boyfriend.
The boyfriend grimaced in pain and argued, "Of course he said that on TV. I don't believe that man has no other intentions!"
Wang Laoshi shrank his neck and watched the fun, laughing secretly.
Gu Xicao stretched out her hand. Cheng Xianfeng was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand and shook hands with Gu Xicao.
Gu Xicao looked at Cheng Xianfeng sincerely, "Mr. Cheng, congratulations. Now I have a chance to test your sincerity. Miss Du is not a rich person. I was worried that telling this would affect your relationship, but I didn't expect that you are not a materialistic, profit-seeking man. I underestimated you."
The smile on Du Yu's face seemed to be frozen by a layer of wax.
Cheng Xianfeng was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He smiled very reluctantly, "What did you say? Are you kidding me, Ayu? Are you teaming up with this Master Gu to play a prank on me?"
He turned his head and tried to signal his girlfriend with his eyes to refute the other party, but when he saw his girlfriend's awkward and stiff smile, Cheng Xianfeng had a bad feeling.
"Ayu, please tell me, she was joking, wasn't she?"
"Ah Feng, I, I..."
Du Yu swallowed hard and tried to deny it.
But just as she opened her mouth, Gu Xicao said, "Ms. Du, there are many people who try to lie on our show, but they all get slapped in the face in the end. I advise you to just tell the truth. To be honest, it's not a big deal if your boyfriend breaks up with you."
Du Yu forced a smile and pulled the corners of his lips, "I don't know what you are talking about, please don't talk nonsense!"
She pulled Cheng Xianfeng and was about to leave.
Cheng Xianfeng was unwilling to leave, so he sat down and looked at Gu Xicao, "Miss Gu, what do you mean by this? Did A Yu really lie to me?"
His tone was controllable at first, but he became more and more excited as he spoke.
Du Yu bit her lips, her palms full of cold sweat.
Gu Xicao glanced at Du Yu and nodded simply, "Yes, she lied to you. She is not a rich person."
"Impossible, she obviously lives in a thousand square feet mansion, and her parents are also wealthy people in the United States!" Cheng Xianfeng was so excited that his face turned red and his neck was thick.
Gu Xicao said: "A mansion can be rented or not. As long as you have the key and can get in, you can pretend it's yours. As for Miss Du's parents, they are not even her biological parents. The two of them..."
She looked at Mr. and Mrs. Du, "You two are just hired to play Miss Du's parents. There's no need to pretend to be this way."
The expressions of Du's father and mother changed slightly, and they looked at Du Yu helplessly.
"Ms. Du, we..."
Miss Du?
When Xu Yiyang and other bystanders heard this name, they were all confused.
What kind of parents in the world would call their daughter like this?
Cheng Xianfeng was completely stunned. He stared at Du Yu with dull eyes and pointed at him. "You, you really lied to me?"
Du Yu felt anxious and aggrieved, her eyes reddened, "Ah Feng, yes, I did embellish some things about me. Our family is poor, but I really love you. As long as we are together, do these material things matter?"
There was an uproar below.
No one expected the reversal to come so quickly.
Just now everyone was envious of this couple because they were both talented and beautiful, and both were rich. But it turned out that the girl was a liar, and even her parents were not real.
This is really an eye-opener for the audience!
After all, no one expected that there would be such a cool operation.
"You liar, you still have the nerve to say you love me, you are obviously just after my money and my house!"
Cheng Xianfeng was furious, his face flushed red, like an angry bull. He pointed at Du Yu and said, "Break up, I want to break up with you, we're done!"
"Afeng, don't be like this. Yes, I lied to you, but we have been in a relationship for three years. Don't you have any feelings for me at all?" Du Yu was anxious. She hugged Cheng Xianfeng's arm and begged bitterly.
Du Yu is good-looking, and although she is a pretty girl, when she cries her tears are so tender that one can't help but feel sorry for her.
Cheng Xianfeng looked at Du Yu, his lips trembling, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
The men below couldn't help but curse.
"This woman is a big liar. Man, if you're a real man, break up with her. We have two houses, and we can have any woman we want. There are plenty of beautiful 18-year-old girls. Why would you marry such a liar?"
"That's right. This kind of woman only dared to admit it now. I don't know how many things she has been hiding from you in private. You can't marry her. What if she has been married before and has children?"
When men encounter such a kind of people being deceived by women, they are extremely excited and their tone is full of indignation. If it weren't a new era now, they would probably want Du Yu to be drowned in a pond.
When the women heard these words, although they knew that their scolding was justified, they couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
Gu Xicao said: "If you ask me, Miss Du, I would advise you to break up with him."
"Break up? What are you thinking?"
Du Yu was so angry at the scolding from the man below that she couldn't help but get angry when she saw Gu Xicao trying to persuade them to break up. "Afeng and I were originally in a good relationship, but it's all your fault for talking too much. Oh, I get it, are you trying to take advantage of the situation and seduce my husband?"
Gu Xicao rolled her eyes and wanted to tell her that not everyone loves Kappa.
She said, "Ms. Du, my advice to you is not for his good, but for your own good. If you stay with him, you will die sooner or later."
"Stop talking nonsense. Ah Feng and I are a perfect match. We are simply a perfect match. Stop cursing us!"
Du Yu became excited and pointed at Gu Xicao's nose and cursed.
Xu Yiyang was afraid that Du Yu would get excited and hit someone, so he stepped forward to stop her, "Ms. Du, please don't get excited. If you have something to say, please speak slowly."
"If you have something to say, please take your time. How can I explain this? This woman cursed me and my husband!"
Du Yu was throwing a tantrum, and his saliva was almost flying onto Xu Yiyang's face.
"Why do you invite people like this to your show?"
"Ms. Du, do you have any misunderstanding? I said you would die, I didn't say he would die." Gu Xicao pulled Xu Yiyang behind her and went straight to him. She pointed at Cheng Xianfeng and said, "This man, you think you know him well, right? He has two houses, fully paid for, in good locations, but have you ever thought about how he, an ordinary person with average education, average looks, and average abilities, could have these two houses at such a young age?"
Du Yu was stunned, a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
Cheng Xianfeng's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling. He said to Du Yu in a hurry, "Ayu, let's talk about it when we get back. Don't listen to other people's nonsense here."
He was anxious, so he pulled Du Yu and dragged her a few steps.
Gu Xicao's voice was very clear, "Mr. Cheng, are you afraid that your murder of your wife to defraud insurance will be exposed, so you are in such a hurry to leave?"
Killing wife to get insurance?
Du Yu's mind buzzed. Without saying a word, she shook off Cheng Xianfeng's hand and turned to look at Gu Xicao with sparkling eyes. "What are you talking about? How could my husband kill his wife to get insurance?"
"If you don't believe me, why not ask him where he got the money for the house."
Gu Xicao crossed her arms across her chest, her slender figure wrapped in a sports suit, with a high ponytail, and clear and lively eyes.
Du Yu immediately looked at Cheng Xianfeng and pressed him, "Ah Feng, is what she said true? How did you get the house?"
The audience below was stunned.
Especially those men who were indignant and excited just now, now they have calmed down and are sitting there quietly, as if nothing had happened just now.
Cheng Xianfeng stepped back subconsciously, avoiding Du Yu's sight. "Ayu, don't ask anymore. It's not true. How could I do such a thing? It's illegal!"
He clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged out like coiled tree roots.
Du Yu couldn't help but be shocked. He covered his mouth and took a few steps back: "You, you are really lying, you really killed someone, my God!"
Cheng Xianfeng was stunned and angrily scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you just tell me to trust you? Why don't you trust me?"
"That's because I know you too well. Once you lie, I will unconsciously clench my fists." Du Yu's voice was trembling. She pointed at Cheng Xianfeng and said, "You, don't come over here, you murderer. I am just a liar and a liar. What you did is not something a human can do. Call the police, call the police right away!"
When Cheng Xianfeng heard the word "call the police", he turned pale with fright. He quickly pushed away the people around him and ran off the stage in a hurry.
Du Yu fell to the ground, in great pain.
Gu Xicao walked over and stretched out his hand.
Du Yu looked up and saw that it was her, and the expression on his face was particularly wonderful for a moment.
"Aren't you going to stand up? The ground is not clean." Gu Xicao asked.
Du Yu looked embarrassed and stood up as Gu Xicao extended her hand. "Thank you, thank you."
Her face flushed red. On the one hand, she felt ashamed for being caught lying, and on the other hand, she felt grateful for being saved.
Now think about it carefully.
It was obvious that Cheng Xianfeng was very upset at first because of her lying, but later his tone changed. I'm afraid he was thinking of killing his wife to get the insurance money at that time.
If I hadn't come to this show today, I would have become Cheng Xianfeng's third or fourth home.
"You're welcome,"
Gu Xicao asked the staff to send Du Yu down, and casually said, "Don't lie to others in the future. A paper-made illusion can't be concealed for long after all."
Du Yu's face turned pale and blue, his lips moved, and it was unknown what he said.
After Xu Yiyang gave instructions to the staff, he came up and said to the commotion in the audience, "Please don't panic. Our program has called the police. They will arrest Cheng Xianfeng based on the photo we provided. Our program team will never let a bad guy go!"
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
Everyone was half excited and half nervous.
Who would dare to think about being on a show these days, when there are such exciting shows to watch.
The couple in the first group can be described as a perfect match. One lied to the man, telling him that her family was rich, but it turned out that her parents were rented. The other one was even more terrifying, as he directly killed his wife to get insurance money. It was obvious that he made his fortune by killing his wife.
Many couples who came to participate in the program were feeling unhappy at this moment. They suddenly became more wary of their other half and planned to go back and check what was going on with them.
Gu Xicao didn't know yet that the incident she had caused had made the couples below more alert.
The second group to come on stage was a family of three.
The old couple looked more haggard than the other, and it was obvious that they were quite old. When the old lady came on stage, she started crying after just a few words.
Xu Yiyang hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the old lady's tears and asked, "Mrs. Bai, what happened? Don't cry first. Tell me. The master is here and we can discuss everything."
Mrs. Bai sobbed, said a few words and waved her hands.
Mrs. Bai's daughter couldn't help herself. She said, "Ms. Xu, let me tell you. We have watched your show and know that Master Gu helped someone find a daughter who ran away from home before, so we came to the show to ask for your help."
Xu Yiyang was surprised and asked, "Oh, so someone in your family is missing?"
"Yes, I don't know if he got lost or ran away from home. Anyway, my brother hasn't returned home three days ago. We have looked everywhere at home, including the school, the steel ball room, the billiard hall, and even his friends' homes. We called the police, but we can't find him anywhere." Bai Wenhui frowned when she talked about these things. "My parents are old, and they have been crying every day these days. If you can help, we will definitely not reduce your reward."
"There's no need to ask for compensation. Our program is free."
Gu Xicao waved her hand and said, "Your brother's name is Bai Wenju, right?"
"Yes, yes!" Father Bai was so excited that he showed a hint of expectation on his old face and nodded his head frequently. "My son's name is Bai Wenju, he is fifteen years old this year. Although he is a little naughty, he has never been away from home for such a long time. He is young and looks good. We are really worried that he has been abducted or kidnapped."
When Bai Wenhui heard these words, the corners of her mouth curled up subconsciously.
Xu Yiyang saw it and took notice.
She guessed in her heart that the younger brother named Bai Wenjuan might not have a good relationship with his older sister Bai Wenhui.
"You can all rest assured that your son has not been abducted."
Gu Xicao asked the system for information. Her expression was a little strange, and she hesitated to speak. "Besides, he is fine now. Nothing has happened to him."
"Nothing happened, so why doesn't he go home?!"
Mrs. Bai was extremely anxious and hurriedly grabbed Gu Xicao's hand, "Master, please don't comfort us. Tell us directly how he is now. We can bear it!"
"Mom, don't be so excited. Let the master explain it to you."
Seeing Gu Xicao frowning, Bai Wenhui hurried over to stop her mother.
Mrs. Bai came to her senses and awkwardly let go of her hand, "Okay, okay, Master, you go ahead, you go ahead."
"Well, that's not very direct."
Gu Xicao looked at Xu Yiyang and said, "Ms. Xu, why don't we just be nice and send Mrs. Bai and the others to find their son?"
Of course Xu Yiyang was eager to do so.
Finding someone is the most important thing.
Moreover, more importantly, Xu Yiyang was also curious. Gu Xicao said that Bai Wenju was fine and not injured. So what happened that made a fifteen-year-old boy stay away from home for several days in a row?
This has been reported to the police.
On the way, the assistant brought Gu Xicao a bottle of water.
After Gu Xicao thanked him, the assistant smiled and leaned over to the passenger seat, "Ms. Gu, what exactly is going on with Bai Wenju? Please tell us a little bit."
All the staff on the bus, including Wang Laoshi, pricked up their ears silently.
Xu Yiyang secretly gave his assistant a thumbs up in his heart.
Good question!
This matter made them feel itchy. Although they would know what was going on soon, who could sit still along the way now?
Gu Xicao took a sip of water, raised the corners of his lips, and looked at his assistant, "Do you want to know?"
“Yes!”
The assistant nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Gu Xicao smiled maliciously and said, "You'll know in a moment. Just be patient."
The assistant showed a helpless and speechless expression and looked at Gu Xicao accusingly.
Xu Yiyang couldn't help but said, "Miss Gu, we are just one family, so please just tell us and don't keep us in suspense."
Gu Xicao still smiled and shook her head.
If you want to know what's going on, there's no way. Just wait and see for yourself.
