Serves You Right
Gu Liangweiâs heart raced. âWhat you mean to say is that they might not accept you and your sister?â
Yang Mengshan smiled slightly but she had a snicker hidden on her face. âWhat is there for my sister to be afraid of? Her score is so high already.â
Gu Youli had been staying mum. She knew very well why Yang Mengshan would say all that.
However, she said it very well. Yang Mengshan had already helped her come up with a reason so she didnât have to think of it herself.
After waiting for around another hour, at around 11 am, the list of names was finally up on the internet.
Gu Youliâs name was on the top of the list.
Gu Liangwei could not help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw that.
After that, he searched for Yang Mengshanâs name but he could feel that Yang Mengshanâs hand on his shoulder had started trembling slightly.
Yang Mengshanâs gaze was filled with shock and disbelief as she said, âHow is this possible? Why am I not in?â
Gu Youli glanced at her. Yang Mengshan was looking so shocked so she reminded her kindly, âYour name isnât there if youâre not accepted!â
Yang Mengshanâs face turned ghastly pale.
She wanted to mock Gu Youli initially but she could no longer gloat and said angrily, âHow is that possible?â
Gu Youli looked at Yang Mengshanâs frown and explained kindly, âHow is it not possible? Didnât you say so yourself just now? Although the scores are important, nothing is guaranteed. Maybe the school was looking at other aspects when it comes to accepting students so it is really hard to say!â
Being checkmated by her own words gave Yang Mengshan a huge blow.
Yang Mengshanâs eyes welled up with hot tears as she screamed, âItâs you! You deleted my choice, right?â
Now it was Gu Liangweiâs turn to be shocked. âMengshan, what are you talking about?â
Yang Mengshan clenched her fists tightly and told Gu Liangwei angrily, âIt was Sis, she deleted my choice. Thatâs why my name isnât on the list.â
Gu Youli glanced at her and explained in frustration. âMengshan, that day after we filled in our choices, I didnât step out of my room. You were the one using the computer in the study. I wanted to play on the computer for a while at night but before I could even switch the computer on, there was a blackout. Tell me, when was I supposed to delete your choice?â
Yang Mengshan broke down and started crying. She said through clenched teeth, âIf you didnât delete it, why isnât my name on the list?â
âHow would I know? You should ask the school about that.â Gu Youli had a helpless expression on her face. She continued speaking in a sunken voice. âI can forgive you for spouting nonsense since youâre in a bad mood after not being accepted but I really canât be bothered to go on about it with you.â
As she said that, Gu Youli looked at Gu Liangwei and said, âDad, itâs almost 12 pm. Iâll go cook the rice and wash the vegetables.â
Gu Liangwei nodded and she left the study. After she closed the door, she could still hear Yang Mengshanâs conversation with Gu Liangwei.
âAlright, Mengshan. Stop maligning your sister. Didnât you say this yourself that itâs very hard to predict the schoolâs acceptance list?â
âDad, mine is an unpopular course. They would rather hope that I take the course.â
...
Gu Youliâs lips curled up coldly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Serves you right! Having your plans backfire must have felt terrible.
In the afternoon, when Gu Liangwei went out to work, the sisters were alone at home and Gu Youli was prepared to take a nap for a while.
