Chapter 270: Monster at ‘Spoiling the Market’

The Lei family members had no idea what serious matter could make an admissions officer of Capital University say such a thing.

Everyone acknowledged it in a blur.

It was then that Teacher Xu said, “I believe everyone here knows about the capital’s Lu family.”

Gu Yin furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. What did this have to do with the Lu family?

“Lu family had a young mistress named Lu Xiwei and she used to be Elder Yu’s direct disciple. For some unknown reasons, she made a mistake and was forced out by Elder Yu. Elder Yu is still looking for a disciple and many people are vying for it.”

Gu Yin’s eyes lit up. Did this mean that she stood a chance? This was good news to both the Lei family and Gu Yin.

“I can’t guarantee that you’ll become Elder Yu’s disciple. However, if you join Capital University, you have an opportunity to fight for it.” Several students, who scored above 700 points on the joint exam, wished to join the medical school and all were inquiring about Elder Yu.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Yin let out a smile. “No worries, as long as there is a chance, I will fight for it.”

Since Lu Xiwei had been driven out by Yu Zhongjing and the Lu family did not express their opinion, this illustrated the high status that Yu Zhongjing enjoyed in the capital. She ought to hold onto this opportunity tightly.

Regardless of the schemes she resorted to, she had to become Yu Zhongjing’s direct disciple.

Hearing her words, Teacher Xu knew that he did not waste his effort coming here. He laughed and said, “Sure, the admission letter will be sent to you as soon as possible. Let’s meet in September when school starts.”

Gu Yin bowed slightly. “Thank you, Teacher Xu.”

After seeing the admissions officers from Capital University out, the effect of Gu Mang’s success had diminished by quite a bit.

...

The Lu family residence.

Lu Yang sat on the sofa as though he had lost his soul. Despite thinking about it for a whole afternoon, he still could not wrap his mind around it. Everyone in Class Twenty was clearly a failed student but how did she suddenly become an academia god?

Perfect score when she was only seven-year-old!

Sister Mang was truly reminding him every minute and second that he was a failure who was on earth to only make up the numbers.

Lin Zhou looked at Lu Yi but did not say anything much regarding her results. She merely asked, “What do you think? Do you intend to continue with the university entrance exams or just choose a school now?”

Lu Yi gave it a thought and replied, “Dad and Mom, I think I’d better take the university entrance exams. My results now are a little embarrassing for Dad. I’ll do my best on the university entrance exams.”

Lu Shangjin’s relationship with Granny Lu turned sour because he wanted to marry Lin Zhou and he was driven out of the family as a result. He toiled away in politics for almost twenty years before getting to where he was now. Only Lu Chengzhou’s family out of the whole Lu family kept in contact with him.

Lu Shangjin felt heartened listening to Lu Yi’s words before rolling his eyes at his useless son as anger mounted in him. Both Lin Zhou and he held a Master’s degree from Capital University so why did they give birth to something like him?

If Lu Yang’s appearance did not bear resemblance to him in his younger days he was afraid that one day he would go to the hospital to get proof whether the boy was his biological son or not.

Lin Zhou hugged Lu Yi and said gently, “Don’t pressure yourself so much. We don’t need you to fight for glory at the Lu residence.”

“I got it.” Lu Yi smiled.

...

Gu Mang returned to school the next morning. The school atmosphere was no longer as intense as last afternoon. Gu Mang did not carry her school bag. She wore a cap which hid her beautiful eyes.

Putting her hands in her pocket, she walked lazily and her silhouette looked cool. From the entrance to the teaching building, all eyes were on her along the way. Some juniors were even whispering to each other.

“From now onwards, Senior Gu Mang is my goddess. I’m going to paste her photo on my bed to pray that my university entrance exams will glorify my family and ancestors!”

“He he, I wonder who said that Senior Gu Mang scored zeros for all subjects, and yet now you’re saying that she is your goddess.”

“Aye, I’m sorry. Who knew that Senior was a monster at ‘spoiling the market’ but it’s honestly suave!”

Lei Cong finally met Gu Mang as he ran to her side. “Sister Gu Mang!”
