72 Looking Down on 10 Points
After Captain Wang and his colleagues from the Ministry of Education left, the principal said in relief, “This season’s celebrity school and class will be in Han City First High.”
“The Ministry of Education said that?” Zhou Yuan could not believe it.
The celebrity schools and celebrity classes in Han City were a big deal in the education world of Han City. If they got the title, the funding and rewards for many projects would become extremely rich, so the schools paid special attention to this matter.
“That’s right. He’s a repeat offender who they had been tracking for eight years. Now that the case is finally settled, Gu Man has contributed a lot. She has brought honor to this class.”
After walking out of the principal’s office, Zhou Yuan was still faintly excited. If he was not wrong, his class would be a celebrity class.
He was also happy for Gu Man. “Your college entrance examination score has gone up another level.”
“Isn’t it just 10 points?” Gu Man felt that these 10 points were nothing to her.
When Zhou Yuan heard this, he wished he could slap Gu Man awake. “Do you know how precious 10 points are in the college entrance examination? These 10 points are equivalent to squeezing out the 100,000 candidates. The college entrance examination is like a battlefield. You have to fight for every single point, understand? Don’t be proud when you’re taking your exam!”
“Oh.”
Why didn’t she realize that Teacher Zhou Yuan was so naggy before?
When Gu Man returned to the Gu residence, she realized that it was especially lively today.
Two strangers were sitting beside Old Madam Gu.
Gu Man wanted to pretend not to see it, but Gu Yuan shouted, “Come here, Gu Man.”
Gu Yuan had recently realized that if he did not call Gu Man by name, she would dare to ignore him. When he scolded her until his blood boiled, she would widen her eyes and ask, “Are you talking to me? I didn’t hear you call my name.”
Often at this time, Gu Yuan wished he could give up his status as a philanthropist and kick Gu Man out.
However, when he thought about how the Gu family could only gradually get rid of being new money and become a noble family with this identity, he endured it.
Gu Man had grasped his weakness, which was why she was especially fearless.
Gu Man stood there reluctantly. Gu Yuan said angrily, “Come and meet your aunt and your cousin, Zhong Yao.”
Gu Yuan’s sister, Gu Zhi, had just come from the countryside.
Gu Zhi quickly said enthusiastically, “So this is Gu Man. I haven’t seen her for more than ten years and she’s already grown up to be such a big girl!”
“Cousin,” Zhong Yao called out softly.
Gu Man did not know the other party and called out dryly, “Auntie, Cousin.”
Then, she did not say anything else.
Seeing Gu Man’s cold expression, Old Madam Gu immediately felt that Gu Man had offended her daughter. She was furious. “Gu Man, who are you pulling a long face for?”
“Mom, don’t be fierce to Gu Man. She’s already addressed me.”
Gu Zhi had yet to figure out the situation. She did not want to offend anyone from the Gu family.
“Aunt, Cousin, don’t mind her. Gu Man just has a cold personality,” Gu Rou explained.
Her gentle voice made one want to get close to her.
Gu Rou went forward and held Zhong Yao’s hand. “Cousin, you don’t have to be reserved. Just treat this as your home.”
Old Madam Gu smiled brightly. “That’s my granddaughter. She’s the most sensible. I didn’t dote on her in vain.”
Gu Zhi praised her again, “Not only is Gu Rou so sensible, but she also looks like a fairy from the sky. The pictures of celebrities that Zhong Yao pasted on the wall at home are not as good-looking as Gu Rou.”
Gu Zhi rarely came to Han City. She had thought that Gu Man was the real daughter of the Gu family and should be doted on in every way. Now that she looked at it, Gu Rou, this stepdaughter, was much more doted on.
However, on second thought, it was no wonder. Gu Man looked cold and unwilling to talk to others, making it difficult for others to get close to her. However, Gu Rou was considerate. No matter who it was, they would like Gu Rou a little more.
“Aunt, stop praising me. Cousin Zhong Yao is also a little beauty.”
Gu Rou was secretly pleased and praised Zhong Yao generously.
When Zhong Yao heard Gu Rou say that she was a little beauty, she felt a little upset.
She knew her appearance very well. In her hometown, she might be able to be looked at, but now, compared to Gu Rou and Gu Man, she was like an ugly duckling.
Gu Man looked at Zhong Yao. Her facial features were flat, and her eyebrows were thin. She was far from being a beauty.
She couldn’t help but snort in her heart. Gu Rou’s ability to lie through her teeth was getting better and better.
Zhong Yao looked at Gu Man’s tall and thin figure. Even her ordinary school uniform could not hide her beauty. Then, she looked at Gu Rou in front of her. Her skin was tender and fair. She wore the trendiest clothes, she was a fair, rich, and beautiful woman.
Zhong Yao thought that it must be because the Gu family had the money to buy them the best skincare products and the best clothes.
She secretly made up her mind that she would be like this one day!
