Chapter 099 The Ninety-Ninth Melon
Wang Qiaoli felt somewhat proud, but she also felt that Gu Xicao was a little strange. After all, Gu Xicao had clearly been against her just now, so why did she suddenly change her mind?
Gu Xicao propped up her chin and said, "Ms. Wang, then you must not mind that your friend Zhang Yang is having an affair with your current husband, right?"
Wang Qiaoli was stunned. She didn’t understand what Gu Xicao meant for a moment. “What did you say? Don’t joke around!”
Gu Xicao shook her head and said, "I'm not kidding. If you don't believe me, ask your friends if she is with that man."
Wang Qiaoli immediately looked at Zhang Yang. Although she still had a smile on her face, her tone was not gentle at all. "Zhang Yang, this Master Gu must be lying. You are my good friend. You can't do such a thing to let me down, right?"
Zhang Yang wanted to sneak away, but he didn't expect Gu Xicao to tell the truth so quickly. He was a little flustered for a moment and stopped a little distance away from Wang Qiaoli. "Yeah, of course not. She was joking with you."
Wang Qiaoli suddenly asked, "Why are you so far away from me?"
She took a few steps forward.
Zhang Yang stepped back repeatedly, with a forced smile: "Really? I didn't feel that way. Maybe your parents accidentally pushed me aside when they came up just now. Qiaoli, I think today's show is boring. I'd better leave first."
Zhang Yang is not as shameless as Wang Qiaoli, who can say such heartless words in front of so many TV viewers with a clear conscience.
She just wanted to hide as far away as possible to avoid being recognized by acquaintances.
But the more anxious Zhang Yang was to leave, the more Wang Qiaoli suspected that she was really hiding something. She stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Yang's hand, "Don't leave yet. You really didn't betray me!"
Zhang Yang was ashamed and angry, and shook off Wang Qiaoli's hand in pain, "Wang Qiaoli, what are you doing? I said no, and it's nothing. If you don't believe me, forget it. It's my bad luck to be friends with someone like you!"
Seeing that Zhang Yang seemed really aggrieved, Wang Qiaoli felt relieved. She said to Zhang Yang: "Zhang Yang, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so excited. You..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw the diamond earrings on Zhang Yang's ears.
His eyes immediately fixed on the pair of earrings.
Zhang Yang was waiting for her to apologize, but she suddenly stopped talking and stared at her ears. He subconsciously reached out to touch her ears. When he touched the earrings, his heart skipped a beat. Oh no, why did she forget to take them off?
"What's wrong with these earrings? My husband said there are only two pairs in Hong Kong. He gave me one pair, so how come the remaining pair is with you?"
Wang Qiaoli's expression changed quickly and she immediately reached towards Zhang Yang's ear.
Zhang Yang quickly dodged, covering his ears with some anger on his face.
When she saw that the truth had been revealed, her expression changed.
Gu Xicao said, "Isn't it obvious? There are only two pairs in Hong Kong, one for you and one for her. That man really doesn't want to spend any extra time on it. The gifts he gave you are all exactly the same. Miss Wang, didn't you notice that Miss Zhang's clothes and bags are similar to yours?"
Wang Qiaoli was stunned.
At this moment, she suddenly understood everything. She had always thought that Zhang Yang bought the same thing as her because he envied her, but it turned out that their "husband" was the same person!
"You've done me justice!"
Wang Qiaoli was so angry that all the blood rushed to her brain, and she threw the Chanel bag directly at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang was not someone to be bullied. While dodging, she picked up her high heels and threw them at Wang Qiaoli. "What? It's not certain who came first. Besides, your husband likes me more than you. You said it yourself. The one who is not loved is the mistress!"
The harsh words Wang Qiaoli had just uttered hit her in the face like a boomerang.
When she said this just now, she seemed so matter-of-fact, but now she was so angry and hateful.
Xu Yiyang quickly called on the staff to send this group of people away to prevent any fight from happening at the recording site.
The audience in the audience hasn't reacted yet.
"Hey, what's going on? Is that girl the mistress of the mistress just now?"
"What is a mistress? If it were you, I'd say it would be ranked somewhere. Those stinky men, relying on their little money, have kept countless women."
"Well, didn't she think she was right just now? Now let's see if she is still right."
Xu Yiyang couldn't help sweating on his forehead as he listened to the discussions in the audience. The citizens of Hong Kong were indeed well-informed.
After all, newspapers report scandals between rich people and female celebrities, as well as those in the rich people’s own families, every day, so people tend to accept this kind of news well.
But what is difficult for everyone to understand is how Wang Qiaoli can be so self-righteous?
That Zhang Yang is also weird. Regardless of who came first, her or Wang Qiaoli, it is really curious how these two became friends.
"Please welcome the next group of guests." After the people below talked for a while and calmed down a little, Xu Yiyang called the next group up.
The next group consisted of two men, also in their twenties.
Xu Yiyang saw them and joked with a smile: "You two are not love rivals, are you? No one is a mistress, right?"
"How is this possible?" Wen Ke said with disdain, "We men are not as cunning and scheming as you women, and we don't do such dirty and shameful things."
The smile on Xu Yiyang's face froze a little.
She planned to go back and check the almanac to see what day it was today and why all the guests were so talented.
You men are not scheming and dirty, so are the thousands or tens of thousands of prisoners in prisons transgender people?
"How about you introduce yourselves first, what do you do?"
As a host, Xu Yiyang is still very cultured. Although she thought the other party was an idiot, she still held back her greetings.
The boy who came up with Wen Ke had a wooden face and didn't say anything, but Wen Ke was like a peacock. When Xu Yiyang asked about this, he patted his chest and said calmly, "It's nothing. We are both college students. We are studying at the University of Hong Kong. We are juniors this year."
HKU?
He is a top student.
Xu Yiyang looked at the two of them and couldn't help wondering, "So what do you two want to do this time?"
Wen Ke pointed at Lin Tingnan and said, "This is my brother. He recently broke up with his girlfriend. Because of this, he hasn't slept well for the past month. I felt bad for him, so I took him out to relax. I didn't expect to run into your production crew, so I came to join in the fun."
Lin Tingnan looked a little haggard, with dark circles under his eyes. "This is just a coincidence. I think your master is quite spiritual. I want to ask if my girlfriend and I can get back together?"
Wen Ke put his arm around Lin Tingnan's shoulders and patted him: "Brother, in fact, I think a man will never have trouble finding a wife. Besides, we are not bad, and your girlfriend is not that great either. Why don't you ask the master to calculate your next romantic luck for you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yiyang couldn't help but look at Wen Ke again.
I have seen many men who are self-righteous, but it is rare for someone so young, so greasy and self-righteous.
Seeing Xu Yiyang kept looking at him, Wen Ke even flicked his hair. His self-righteous and charming look was really disgusting.
"I don't want it, I just like my girlfriend,"
Lin Tingnan was very determined. He said persistently, "I have been dating my girlfriend for four years, from Form 5 to now. We had planned to get married as soon as we graduated from university, but last month, for some reason, she suddenly broke up with me."
Xu Yiyang couldn't help but wonder, "We've been dating for four years, that's a long time, they wouldn't break up for no reason, what happened? Have you asked her?"
Lin Tingnan shook his head, his face full of bitterness. "I went to look for her, but she refused to see me. I called her, but she didn't answer. She just said that she would never be with me again in this life. I really don't understand. What did I do wrong?"
This is indeed puzzling.
Before Xu Yiyang asked, Wen Ke said, "If you ask me, it's over if we break up. It's just a woman, what's the big deal? You care so much about her, and you make yourself like this for her. It's really embarrassing for us men!"
Many male audience members echoed this.
Even some housewives felt that Lin Tingnan was such a handsome man, and it was really wrong for him to make himself so haggard for such a girlfriend.
"Listen, everyone is saying this. I think you should stop counting you and your girlfriend and count something else, so as not to waste our rare opportunity today."
Wen Ke's tone was inciting.
Lin Tingnan was very determined and shook his head: "No, I don't want anyone else, I just want to get back together with my girlfriend."
"Oh, you are such a person, it's really hard to describe."
Wen Ke couldn't help but shake his head, looking helpless and disdainful of Lin Tingnan.
Gu Xicao said: "It's not like there is no chance for you to get back together with your girlfriend."
Lin Tingnan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed to Gu Xicao, "Master Gu, how can I get back together with her? As long as you can help, I'm willing to pay you any amount of money."
This is just what he said to Gu Xicao, so he won't be taken advantage of. But if he said this to other fortune tellers, he would be lucky if they didn't take away tens of thousands of dollars from him.
"You don't have to give me money. What you need to do now is to ask your so-called good brother how much effort he has made to break up you and your girlfriend."
Gu Xicao pointed at Wen Ke, who had been jumping up and down since he came up, and said.
Lin Tingnan exclaimed, "Breaking up my girlfriend and me, that's impossible, right?"
He glanced at Wen Ke and said to Gu Xicao, "Wen Ke is my good brother. He treats me very well. He has been caring for me since I broke up with my girlfriend. He even spoke well of me to my girlfriend."
“There’s a saying that goes ‘overdo it, but never do it enough.’”
Gu Xicao said: "Some people who have done something wrong will be more active than the average person, and even take the initiative to help those they have cheated, so that others will not suspect them!"
Wen Ke's face flushed red, and he glared at Gu Xicao: "You're talking nonsense, don't wrongly accuse a good person, Tingnan and I are good brothers, we men don't have as many minds as you women!"
"Mr. Wen, I don't agree with what you said. Intrigues have to do with people, not gender!"
Xu Yiyang tolerated Wen Ke for a while, but when he saw him still saying this, he couldn't stand it anymore. "You said this, it makes people think you are guilty! Who said men are heartless!"
"You, okay, okay, I won't argue with you, you are in the same group!"
Wen Ke was furious and wanted to lose his temper, but he couldn't because it was a program recording. "Tingnan, don't believe them!"
"Lin Tingnan, think carefully, when you were having a quarrel with your girlfriend, was your so-called best friend fanning the flames?"
Gu Xicao patiently said, "Every time you two quarrel, he not only doesn't persuade you to properly resolve the conflict with your girlfriend, but he keeps telling you that your girlfriend has a bad temper and is unreasonable, and you should break up with your girlfriend?"
Lin Tingnan nodded repeatedly in astonishment, like a chicken pecking at rice, "Miss Gu, how do you know all this?"
"I know more than just that. I also know that you and Wen Ke were not friends at the beginning, right?"
Gu Xicao asked, "In the beginning, you two had a quarrel and almost fought."
Lin Tingnan was completely convinced by Gu Xicao.
If he didn't know that the two of them came to the show today on a whim, he would have suspected that Gu Xicao had inquired about him in advance.
He nodded and said, "Yes, we lived in the same dormitory, but our relationship was not good during our freshman and sophomore years. Wen Ke had a very bad temper, and I was not easy to talk to when I got angry, so we often quarreled. Once, we even had a fight over dormitory cleaning. Later, Wen Ke helped me out, and we became friends and good brothers."
"That's right, listen to me, Tingnan and I are good brothers, how could I do anything to break up him and his girlfriend!" Wen Ke raised his neck and said righteously.
"You make friends with him and treat him as a brother. Do you really treat him as a brother?"
Gu Xicao sneered and looked at Wen Ke with disgust. "It's obvious that you have a crush on his girlfriend, so you want to do something behind his back. On the surface, you are a good brother to Lin Tingnan, but secretly use this identity to contact Lin Tingnan's girlfriend and constantly stir up trouble between the two of them. When the two of them quarreled, you said bad things about his girlfriend next to Lin Tingnan, and then went to his girlfriend and said bad things about Lin Tingnan."
"You are simply the modern Ximen Qing. You have been very busy and even broke up the couple. And you still say that you men are simple-minded and don't scheme. Your mind is as briquettes as honeycomb!"
???
Everyone on and off the stage was stunned.
Especially those men who had agreed with Wen Ke just now, were now speechless and looked at Wen Ke in amazement.
"Student Wen, is what Master Gu said true?"
Xu Yiyang usually doesn't take advantage of others' misfortunes, unless he meets a weird guy, then he will be very angry and feel like he has wasted such a good opportunity.
Wen Ke's face turned red and his neck became thick. He stiffened his neck and said, "Slander, this is absolutely slander! I have never done such a thing, Lin Tingnan, you have to believe me! We are brothers!"
Lin Tingnan is not a fool.
Previously, he regarded Wen Ke as a real brother, so he didn't think much about it, because Wen Ke always spoke with contempt and disdain towards women. Every time Wen Ke said bad things about his girlfriend, he just thought he was just like that.
But now think about it carefully, if he is really a good brother, who would say bad things about his partner and persuade him to break up when he is arguing with his partner?
Isn't this obviously a case of having ulterior motives?
"I can trust you."
Lin Tingnan said.
Xu Yiyang was startled. Wen Ke smiled, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Lin Tingnan's casserole-like fist coming directly at his face.
This punch made Wen Ke's face look like a dyeing factory, with patches of red and black.
"What are you doing!"
It took Wen Ke a moment to realize that he had been beaten. He covered his face and glared at Lin Tingnan angrily.
"What are you doing? That's what I'm asking you!"
Lin Tingnan clenched his fists, veins on his face bulged, "How have I, Lin Tingnan, let you down? You bastard, why are you hurting me like this!"
Gu Xicao kindly helped to answer the doubts: "Lin Tingnan, he is not simply attracted to your girlfriend. To be precise, he is attracted to your girlfriend's family background. He knows that your girlfriend's family is well-off, her parents are university professors, and she is an only child, so he wants to eat her up. He first instigated a breakup between you, and then took advantage of the situation. Once he is with your girlfriend, he can use your girlfriend's family conditions to pave the way for himself."
When Lin Tingnan heard these words, his expression changed and he became even more angry. He gritted his teeth and asked Wen Ke, "Is what Master Gu said true?"
If it was because he liked his girlfriend, Lin Tingnan wouldn't be so disgusted, but if he was going there for his girlfriend's conditions, Lin Tingnan couldn't help but feel disgusted.
Wen Ke covered his face and spat blood foam on the ground. "Whether it is or not, what does it have to do with you? You two are not married. You are stupid. I just provoked you and you believed it. What does it have to do with me? If there is really no problem between you and your girlfriend, how can others provoke you? Will it be useful?"
This statement is clearly nonsense.
Ordinary people are not saints, so who can be truly problem-free? Even parents and children have many conflicts, and they cannot withstand provocation.
"Okay, you're great! Just wait for me!"
Lin Tingnan pointed at Wen Ke and said, "Since you are so confident, I will tell everyone in the school about what you have done. I want to see how others will look at you when they know about this!"
When Wen Ke heard this, his face changed.
No matter how righteous what he said just now was, it couldn't deny that he was actually in the wrong.
Although this is not illegal, it is immoral.
Once the news gets out, I'm afraid no one will dare to be friends with him anymore. Who would want to have someone around who is staring at them and plotting against them?
Lin Tingnan thanked Gu Xicao and then went downstairs, presumably to go find his girlfriend. As for Wen Ke, he hurriedly followed him and no one knew what he was going to do.
Today's program recording was really an eye-opener for Xu Yiyang.
When she drove Gu Xicao back home, she said, "This is the last episode of the year. I'm sure the ratings won't be low."
Gu Xicao smiled, "I don't know what happened today, neither of these two groups is normal."
"Don't think about it. There are all kinds of people in Hong Kong now." Xu Yiyang took out the gift he prepared in advance and handed it to Gu Xicao: "It's a New Year's gift prepared in advance. It's just a little bit of my appreciation. Don't be polite."
A few days after the program was recorded, Gu Xicao also gave Wang Laoshi a holiday and gave him a big red envelope as they needed to do a thorough cleaning at the end of the year.
Gu Xicao was too lazy to move, so she wanted to invite someone home.
However, Lin Yuan patted his chest and said that he could do the cleaning and there was no need to hire anyone. He also said that Gu Xicao had worked hard for a year, so he asked her to go out for a good stroll and give her a surprise when she came back. He also repeatedly told her not to secretly calculate what the surprise was.
This child was acting so mysterious that Gu Xicao couldn't help but wonder what the surprise was.
There was a big price reduction at the end of the year, so she bought some New Year's goods and a few sets of clothes for herself and Lin Yuan. She thought it was about time, so she took her things upstairs.
She went upstairs with her bags and saw Mrs. Lin sneaking around the door.
Gu Xicao carried the things over and patted Mrs. Lin on the shoulder.
Mrs. Lin was startled, turned around and saw that it was her, breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her chest: "Xiao Gu, you are going to scare me to death, why are you so quiet?"
"You are guilty of your crime. You didn't even hear my loud footsteps. What are you looking at?" Gu Xicao tried to look into her house through the slightly opened door, but could only vaguely see a few figures.
Mrs. Lin chuckled and was about to speak.
The person in the room seemed to have heard the sound and opened the door. The person who opened the door was Lin Qianshi. He was wearing a beige sweater and jeans. Because he was tall and had long legs, he looked noble even in such a casual outfit.
"You're back. There are so many things. Let me help you carry them."
Lin Qianshi took the bags from Gu Xicao with such a natural attitude as if it was a matter of course. Gu Xicao was stunned.
"Xiao Gu, you're back. We've almost finished cleaning."
Lin Jianyi also came out of the house.
He was also dressed casually, in a shirt and trousers, with his sleeves rolled up to reveal his muscular arms and spider webs on his shoulders.
Gu Xicao pointed and said, "There's dirt on your shoulder."
"Where?" Lin Jianyi looked down in confusion. Perhaps his shoulders were too broad, or perhaps his eyesight was poor, so he didn't see it.
Gu Xicao pointed at his left shoulder, and seeing that he really didn't see it, she went over and patted him, then looked around the room.
The house really looked brand new. Not only had it been thoroughly cleaned, but it was also decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The word "Fu" was pasted on the windows, balcony, and door. Gu Xicao even noticed that there seemed to be two more pots of lucky bamboo on the balcony.
"Ayuan said he can handle it, so does that mean he wants to invite you two?"
Gu Xicao smiled, "This kid is too rude. Why would I bother you with such a thing?"
Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Xiao Gu, this is where you are wrong. This kind of thing should trouble them more. They are capable men, so they should be allowed to do more."
When Gu Xicao was puzzled, Mrs. Lin looked at her and said, "Xiao Gu, we all agreed to celebrate New Year's Eve together. Do you want to join us?"
"Of course Xiaoyuan and I want it." Gu Xicao said.
Lin Jianyi said: "I don't need to say anything more. I have been alone every year. Of course, I have to spend this year with everyone to make it more lively."
"It seems to be very lively, can I join in the fun?" Lin Qianshi asked with a smile, holding a bag.
When Lin Jianyi looked at Lin Qian, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Young Master Lin, don't you need to go home to reunite with your family? Besides, a place like ours is not suitable for a young master like you."
"We can have a reunion anytime. Your public housing is more lively and fun than ours. What's wrong with coming? Xicao, what do you think?"
Lin Qianshi looked at Gu Xicao.
Gu Xicao cried out, and Mrs. Lin kindly helped: "Then come everyone, the more people the better, it will be more lively."
Since Mrs. Lin said so, Lin Jianyi didn’t know what to say.
