Chapter 98 The Ninety-Eighth Melon
Lin Xi thought she had concealed it well, but she didn't know that at a time like this, the more she avoided talking about it, the more people would doubt the truthfulness of her words.
Judge Liu stared at Lin Xi, frowned and thought for a moment, then pulled her daughter to her side, "Ah Zhi, Miss Gu just said that you and Ah Xi have a secret, what is it?"
Liu Zhi looked at Lin Xi. Lin Xi didn't dare to wink at this time, but she also hoped that Liu Zhi would keep silent. However, Liu Zhi was not an ignorant child after all. She whispered: "Mommy, Ah Xi actually asked me to go to her house to see the dog. I shouldn't have lied to you. I was wrong."
"Why lie if you were just going to her house?"
Mrs. Molly asked, resting her chin on her hand and frowning in confusion.
Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Lin Xi again.
Judge Liu could see at this time that her daughter was being played around by someone. She suppressed her fear and asked her daughter, "Was it her suggestion to go to her house, or was it you?"
"Aunt Liu, it's me. I was just joking with Azhi. It's nothing."
Lin Xi's heart was beating like a drum, and he quickly interrupted Judge Liu's question, "At worst, Azhi won't go."
When she said this, she bit her lip, her eyes turned red, and she stamped her feet and said, "I think you are just looking down on me. Yes, my family is not as rich and powerful as yours, so do I deserve to be interrogated by you like a criminal? Liu Zhi, I finally see what kind of person you are!"
After saying this, Lin Xi turned around and was about to leave angrily.
Liu Zhi was shocked to see Lin Xi like this. He couldn't help but feel guilty. He chased after Lin Xi and grabbed his hand: "A Xi, I didn't mean that. I..."
"Let go!" Lin Xi pulled his face and shook off Liu Zhi's hand, "You didn't mean that, but I think you really meant that. I guess I misjudged you!"
Liu Zhi was so anxious that he almost cried, "I really don't have it!"
"Lin Xi, if you really feel wronged, why don't you tell me who your father is from just now until now?"
Gu Xicao asked, "You know, once Ms. Liu knows your father's name, she will think of him."
Lin Xi's body froze, as if she had been hit by a fatal blow.
Gu Xicao stood up and folded his arms. "In April, a doctor from Hong Kong was accused of sexually assaulting a minor. Judge Liu was in charge of the case and sentenced him to the maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and 360,000 yuan in compensation to the victim's family."
"That Hong Kong doctor is called Lin Zhizhong. Lin Xi, this man is your father."
"You are Lin Zhizhong's daughter?!"
Judge Liu stood up from his chair almost immediately, walked over a few steps, pulled his daughter behind him, and stared at Lin Xi vigilantly.
Molly also quickly covered Amy's ears and looked at Lin Xi in surprise and suspicion.
Lin Xi bit her lip and turned around.
Her expression at this moment showed no guilt or regret. Instead, her eyes were filled with hatred. "Yes, Lin Zhizhong is my daddy. So what? My daddy is innocent!"
"You, are you really Lin Zhizhong's daughter?"
Judge Liu broke out in a cold sweat. Although she had handled many cases, Lin Zhizhong left a particularly deep impression on her. Lin Zhizhong was 40 years old this year, very self-disciplined, and kept in good shape. He looked elegant and knowledgeable, full of masculine charm, and had a very good reputation in the hospital and among patients.
But this man is a beast. He has repeatedly used his position to attack girls and boys as young as fifteen or sixteen years old, and even brainwashed them to protect him!
When Judge Liu saw the file, he felt so nauseous that he couldn't eat for several days.
In order to give justice to the victim's family, she did her best and sentenced the beast to twenty years in prison.
When she was checking the files, she saw that Lin Zhizhong had children, but she didn't expect that his daughter would be Lin Xi!
"Yes, I am Lin Zhizhong's daughter! You, the judge, don't understand the law at all. My dad and those people were clearly in a free love relationship. Why did you sentence my dad to jail?"
Lin Xi was so excited that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He pointed at Judge Liu with hatred in his eyes, "I wanted to take your daughter back to my house and teach her a lesson with my brother. I didn't expect your daughter to be so lucky that this charlatan came to help her!"
"Your family is simply insane!"
Judge Liu's pupils contracted and his vision almost went dark!
"Those little girls and boys were clearly raped by your dad. You are a child, and you have studied for so many years, but you don't understand the truth at all!"
Lin Xi sneered and crossed his arms, "I understand, of course I don't understand, I saw it in the law book, I'm only fourteen years old now, a minor, according to Hong Kong law, juvenile crimes are not illegal, the worst that can happen is that you go to the juvenile detention center for a few days. You're lucky this time, someone helped you, your daughter was able to escape, but I want to see if she can be so lucky next time!"
Even in broad daylight with the sun shining brightly, Molly and the others in the garden still felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave when they heard what Lin Xi said.
If you hadn't heard it with your own ears, who would have dared to believe that a minor could be so vicious.
What’s even more frightening is that they are fully aware of the protection of the law and therefore act with impunity.
"Mommy!" Liu Zhi was so scared that his face turned blue and he hid in Judge Liu's arms.
She felt cold all over, and she could not imagine that her friend came with malicious intentions.
"As a human being, don't be so arrogant when you speak."
Gu Xicao took a sip of coffee. "You and your brother are minors, so what a big deal! Yes, it is not illegal for you minors to kill someone. At most, you will be sent to a juvenile detention center. However, it is not illegal for other minors to kill you."
Gu Xicao crossed his legs and said, "There are many minors who are in need of money. You are so arrogant now, but you might as well think about it. If someone offers 10,000 yuan to kill you and your siblings, how many people do you think would be tempted?"
The arrogance on Lin Xi's face seemed to freeze suddenly.
"You, you're scaring me. Let me tell you, I'm not scared of anything. Do you have the guts to do something like this?"
"Why not?!"
Judge Liu stared at Lin Xi with gritted teeth, "Your father has done so many evil things, I think it's a pity that he didn't get sentenced to death. If you dare to retaliate against my daughter, I will never let you off easily!"
Lin Xi's eyelids twitched in disbelief. "You are a judge, and you said such a thing? Aren't you afraid that I will tell others!"
"I'm a judge, so I will definitely turn myself in after you die." Judge Liu sneered, "According to previous cases, hiring a killer is excusable. The maximum sentence is ten years in prison. I will use my ten years in prison to exchange your brother and sister's lives and my daughter's safety for the rest of her life. I think it's a good deal!"
Crazy.
This is simply crazy.
This is not what a righteous judge should say!
In Lin Xi's opinion, the plan he and his brother had made could completely take advantage of Judge Liu. They both made plans for the worst, which was to stay in a juvenile detention center for a few days and come out with a clean record.
Judge Liu, however, will have to endure the pain of losing his daughter for the rest of his life.
This deal is simply a steal.
She couldn't imagine that just as they, the siblings, were cruel, others could be just as cruel.
Threatening a daughter's life in front of her mother is undoubtedly seeking death.
"I know the Governor of Hong Kong. He is a good friend of my uncle. I will ask him to speak for me. If I let everyone in Hong Kong know about the good things your family has done, I believe many people will be willing to help me."
Molly stared at Lin Xi with a common hatred, "Michelle won't even have to go to jail!"
“You, you guys…”
Lin Xi stepped back step by step, looking at Judge Liu and others, his eyes filled with hatred and helplessness.
"Now, you can get out of my house," Judge Liu said unceremoniously. "I will tell the school to transfer your enrollment. From today on, if I see you and your sister around us, I will definitely not be polite to you. And your father, although I never want to abuse my power, if you push me too far, your father will not have an easy time in prison!"
Lin Xi's face became paler and paler, and a look of panic gradually appeared in his eyes.
She bit her lip and left angrily.
After she left, Judge Liu's tense nerves finally relaxed. Liu Zhi was so scared that she couldn't help crying. Judge Liu reached out and touched her head: "Azhi, don't be afraid, Mommy will protect you."
"Mommy!" Liu Zhi threw himself into his mother's arms, terrified.
Molly said to Judge Liu, "Michelle, I think I should find some bodyguards to pick up your daughter from school. Your job is really dangerous, and you are too upright. Fortunately, Miss Gu happened to be here this time and saw through the brother and sister's plan. What if Miss Gu is not here next time?"
"I'll listen to you, Molly, thank you."
Judge Liu said to Molly gratefully, then thanked Gu Xicao, and asked Gu Xicao for a business card, saying that he would go back and promote the product to his colleagues.
When Gu Xicao and Lin Yuan were about to leave, Judge Liu asked the nanny to pack a bunch of snacks for them.
"Ms. Gu."
Xu Yiyang brought the coffee over and gave it to Gu Xicao, "It's freezing today, and you still have to record the show. You've worked so hard."
Gu Xicao took the coffee. The warm coffee was indeed a great comfort in this winter. She smiled and said, "It's okay. It's not that hard if we don't go out on location."
Xu Yiyang couldn't help laughing, "That's right, it's really not easy for Master Zhou and his team to go out on location, we are better off."
The recording of this program is divided into studio scenes and outdoor scenes.
Because people heard that Gu Xicao was going to help people tell fortunes, the filming site was packed with people.
As soon as Gu Xicao and Xu Yiyang stepped onto the stage together, there was loud cheering from the audience.
Xu Yiyang smiled and said, "Welcome to "Master Helps You Watch". Today we will continue as usual..."
She drew two groups of guests.
Those two groups were also a coincidence, one was a pair of best friends and the other was a pair of brothers.
The two best friends looked very young, beautiful and fashionable, probably in their early twenties.
He was jumping up and down when he came up.
"Master Gu, Miss Xu, hello." The speaker was Wang Qiaoli. She was dressed very fashionably and it was obvious that her clothes and bags were all branded.
Xu Yiyang greeted with a smile, "Hello to you guys too, are you friends?"
Wang Qiaoli glanced at her bestie Zhang Yang and smiled, "Yes, we are friends who have just met, but I didn't expect that we would get along so well as soon as we met. We can talk about many things. But this time, not only my friend and I came, but my parents came with us as well."
Wang Qiaoli pointed to the audience. Her parents looked very embarrassed and nodded reluctantly at the camera.
"Hello, uncle and aunt, Miss Wang, what do you want to do this time?" Xu Yiyang naturally got to the point.
Wang Qiaoli pursed her lips and looked at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang said: "She wants to calculate when she can get married with her boyfriend?"
Xu Yiyang looked at Wang Qiaoli's overly youthful face and was a little surprised. "Ms. Wang looks like she's only in her early twenties. Are you getting married at such a young age?"
Wang Qiaoli's youthful and beautiful face was filled with pride. "Of course, my husband treats me so well. He buys me brand-name clothes and bags, and gives me 30,000 yuan in pocket money every month. If I don't marry such a good man while I'm still young, should I wait until I'm old and find a poor man?"
She looked at Xu Yiyang and said, "Miss Xu, you are not married yet, right? I heard that you are already over 30. I advise you to hurry up and find a rich man before you are 40. This way, you won't have to work hard in the future."
After Wang Qiaoli said this, Xu Yiyang was stunned. She had worked at the TV station for more than ten years, but this was the first time she heard such words from a young girl.
Usually, these kinds of words are said by self-righteous old men.
There was also a lot of discussion in the audience.
"Although what this girl said was harsh, it did make sense. Nowadays, young girls are in no hurry to get married. It's really too anxious. If they don't find a man to marry while they are still young and pretty, they will only be stepmothers after they turn 30."
"That's what she said, but what the girl said wasn't very nice either. And why did she keep referring to men as poor? Why is she so materialistic when it comes to finding a partner?"
"Ahem."
After seeing the staff's prompt, Xu Yiyang came back to his senses and said to Wang Qiaoli, "Ms. Wang seems to have her own opinions. Miss Gu, I'll have to trouble you to help her calculate this."
Wang Qiaoli said proudly, "I always think I'm very smart. I mean, many people my age are still confused and go out with poor men. How much money can those poor guys give? If you marry a poor man and give birth to children for him, your life will be over. You will have to worry about water and electricity bills and children's tuition every day."
Her parents were in the audience, looking somewhat embarrassed and ugly.
Gu Xicao said, "Ms. Wang, it's better for you not to say these things. It's not appropriate to say these things on a TV show."
She doesn't think girls should date poor men, but she also doesn't approve of those who are obsessed with dating rich men.
Wang Qiaoli glanced at Gu Xicao and said, "Master Gu, do you think I am too materialistic and money-worshiping? You look young, so I advise you to listen to me and find a rich partner as soon as possible. If you are willing, I can introduce you to a rich man, but he is a little older."
Xu Yiyang was standing nearby, feeling helpless.
Who is this person I drew today?
This guy keeps talking a lot, and everything he says is very clever. He must have tasted the sweetness of this and has become very inflated.
Gu Xicao said, "No need, let's be straightforward. If you want to calculate your marriage fate with your current partner, I will simply tell you that you can't be together."
Sometimes fortune telling involves meeting all kinds of strange people, but this one today was really talkative and self-righteous.
"It won't work?!"
Wang Qiaoli immediately looked at Gu Xicao with anger on her face: "Why can't it be successful? I have consulted other fortune tellers before, and everyone said that my husband and I are a match made in heaven. I think you are not saying this on purpose to irritate me."
"Qiao Li, don't be so aggressive when you speak."
Zhang Yang pulled Wang Qiaoli's sleeve and persuaded her softly.
Gu Xicao looked at Wang Qiaoli and turned the pen in her hand. "Don't you know why you can't succeed? Your husband is a married man with three children. How can you succeed with him? Which fortune teller told you that you and he are a match made in heaven? You can go find him now and smash his business."
? ?
There was an uproar in the audience.
"Her husband has a family, so isn't she a mistress?"
"They already have three children. That boy must be quite old, right?"
"Oh, she just wanted to introduce an older man to Master Gu. It turns out her own man is not young either!"
Wang Qiaoli's parents couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly ran up from downstairs, pulling Wang Qiaoli, "Stop fooling around, come with us, and go home!"
"I don't!"
Wang Qiaoli shook off her parents' hands. She patted her fur in disdain and said to her parents, "I told you a long time ago that I will not go home with you. Our home is so poor. It's only three or four hundred feet. I don't even have room to turn around. I don't want to go back with you to live a hard life!"
Wang Qiaoli turned her head and said to Gu Xicao, "I've known for a long time that he has a family. He told me that he wants to divorce that yellow-faced woman at home and be with me. I know you all think that I have a bad character and am a mistress, but he and his wife have no feelings for each other for a long time. He has always wanted to divorce, but his wife won't let him! The person he loves in his heart is me. If we talk about feelings, his wife is the third party!"
When Wang Qiaoli said this, her face was full of confidence.
It can be seen that she really doesn't think that she has interfered with other people's marital relationship, and she doesn't think of herself as a mistress at all.
I even feel a little aggrieved.
Xu Yiyang is well-informed in the entertainment industry. To be honest, there are so many handsome men and beautiful women in this circle that it is really difficult to be faithful to one person. Most of them are fleeting relationships. Especially for female stars, it is common for them to be mistresses of rich men and be kept by them.
But she had never seen a mistress or a third party so self-righteous, and even called the original wife a mistress.
For a moment, there was an uproar on and off the stage.
"That's enough. Don't you feel ashamed when you say these things?!"
The Queen Mother stamped her feet in anger, tears streaming down her face. "How have your father and I ever wronged you since you were little? We have given you everything you wanted. How did you become like this?"
The Queen Mother listened to the discussions below and saw them pointing and gossiping. She wished there was a crack in the ground so she could crawl into it.
Wang Qiaoli snorted, with disdain on her face, "Mom, Dad, you are the ones making trouble. How much money have you two worked hard all your lives to earn? How much benefit and inheritance can you give me? I'm telling you not to give birth to me if you don't have money. From childhood to adulthood, I saw other people's parents driving BMWs and their daughters wearing princess dresses. I envied them so much. They were rich and could buy houses and cars for their children. What did you buy for me? It was just those cheap things. People laughed at me and said I was poor."
"Now I don't rely on you, I rely on myself, I have a house and a car, you should be happy!"
Wang's father was so angry that veins popped out of his forehead. "Okay, okay, according to what you mean, we are the ones who have let you down? We are poor and incompetent, and we are not as rich as others. Shouldn't we have given birth to you?!"
"That's what I mean. Now that I've finally found a rich man, you should be happy and proud."
Wang Qiaoli looked at her parents in confusion, brushed off the dust on her shoulders, and picked up her bag. "With a son-in-law like this, you won't have to worry about breaking your legs for the rest of your life. You don't help me, but you come to make trouble! If I had known, I wouldn't have invited you to come here today."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she started to cry. "How did you become like this? They are a happy couple, why do you want to be a mistress?!"
Wang Qiaoli frowned and looked at her mother crying with impatience, "I've already said, I'm not the mistress, that first wife is the mistress!"
"Ms. Wang, according to what you mean, the one who is not liked is the mistress?" Gu Xicao asked, supporting his chin with his head tilted.
Wang Qiaoli was confident and righteous, not showing any embarrassment or shame at all, "That's right, whoever the man likes is the principal wife. If the first wife wants to blame someone, she should blame herself for being old and ugly and unable to capture the man's heart! I am more sensible and pleasing than her. The man likes me, can you blame me?"
Gu Xicao was considered to have gained some experience.
She had never understood why someone would be so shameless as to become a mistress.
Now that I've heard the mistress's thoughts, I finally understand their logic.
She said, "If your husband has a mistress besides you, would you voluntarily give up your position?"
Hearing Gu Xicao's words, Wang Qiaoli sneered and said with a confident smile: "Impossible, my husband will never change his mind about me. What other woman can compare to me?"
Zhang Yang next to her had an awkward look on his face, curled up his fingers, and quietly stepped back.
Gu Xicao said: "Just tell me, if your husband has a mistress, what are you going to do?"
Wang Qiaoli thought for a moment and said, "If this is true, then I will give up my position. I will never be like that first wife, who is shameless and refuses to divorce even though she knows that the man doesn't like her anymore! I really like my husband. If you really love someone, you should help him and make him happy!"
Gu Xicao clapped her hands and cheered, "Ms. Wang, you are so clear-headed and aware. I support you in sticking to your own ideas."
Xu Yiyang and others looked at Gu Xicao in surprise and confusion.
The audience was even more confused.
"Master Gu, what's wrong? How can you support such a person saying such things?"
"That's right. People like this are such a disgrace to us women. They are so shameless that they become the mistress of an old man. And they still have the nerve to talk about love or not. It's all for money!"
