“Results?” Gu Mang scoffed. “They’re quite bad. I always come last in my cohort.”

Her elbow was propped up on the table with a pair of chopsticks in her hand. Her wrist drooped down in a natural pose as she watched them with her pitch black eyes that were cold and wicked.

There was an awkward silence.

Upon hearing about Gu Mang’s results, Gu Yin’s face became less sour. She smiled and said, “Even though Sister always gets zeros on all her papers, she’s very popular in our school and is even Sheng Ting’s choreographer. She doesn’t need to rely on her results, unlike the rest of us.”

A few relatives forced out a smile, yet there was an unconcealed disdain in their eyes.

Being good at studying, obtaining good results at the university entrance exams, and getting into a recognized university was the best path to take. Gu Mang did not do proper things and squandered her life away with no purpose. How did Gu Yin, who was so good at studying, have a sister who always got zeros?

They thought that Gu Mang had finally grown up. They did not expect that she was still no match for Gu Yin. No wonder the Gu family was biased and left all their assets to Gu Yin.

However, why was Gu Mang not expelled despite scoring straight zeros? Why did Ming City High School accept a person with such poor academic abilities?

The uncle that asked said, “Gu Mang, how did you get into Ming City High School with your results? Could you arrange for your cousin Qiqi to get in too?”

The Lu and Qin families were such influential families. It would be easy to obtain a spot in a school if they simply asked for it. Every pair of eyes was on Gu Mang.

Lei Xiao and Gu Yin had also been curious about this. How did Gu Mang manage to bring Meng Jinyang into the school?

Gu Mang smiled lightly and cupped her face with a pretty, pale hand. She said carelessly, “Ah, I am impoverished and an orphan. I am a beneficiary of the country’s poverty aid. The government arranged it.”

The chopsticks in everyone’s hands shook slightly. Her words felt like a slap to their face, delivering a burning pain.

Previously, not one of their families wanted to take in Gu Mang and Gu Si, but they all fought to get Gu Yin. However, the old master and madam of the Lei family had put pressure on them. In the end, Gu Yin was taken by Lei Xiao, and the Gu family’s liquid assets, apart from the house, all went into Lei Xiao’s pockets.

If Gu Mang had not earned money to support herself, what kind of life would she be living now?

Now they all wanted Gu Mang to help them.

Gu Si looked around the dining table and restrained a smile from seeing the uncomfortable expressions on everyone’s faces.

…

After the meal.

Gu Mang stood languidly in front of the old master and madam of the Lei family with her hands in her pockets. “Grandpa, Grandma, I have stuff to attend to. I’ll be leaving now.”

The old master of the Lei family stood up. “Grandpa will send you off.”

They walked to the door.

The old master stopped and turned around to look at Gu Mang. He said unhurriedly, “Grandpa knows that you have some grievances, but you can’t blame your uncle. You and Gu Si have never been obedient since you were kids and your uncle was finally starting his career as an official after working so hard. He couldn’t risk taking you in.”

Gu Si was standing to the side with a phone in his hand, playing a game. He suddenly burst out laughing and said, “Sis, look at this stupid person banging into the wall while trying to dodge.”

Grandpa was speaking so sincerely that it could make him think that he and his sister were the unreasonable ones.

“Gu Si, study hard and don’t play with your phone so often. It’s bad for your eyes.” The old master looked benevolent and gentle. He then looked at Gu Mang and continued, “Since you know the Lu and Qin families, speak well of our uncle to them. If your uncle gets promoted, all of us will benefit from it.”

There was no expression on Gu Mang’s face. Her eyelids hung low and there seemed to be a wicked smirk on the edge of her lips. The old master didn’t know if she was listening to him and wanted to say more things.

Gu Mang’s phone rang.

She took it out of her pocket and answered. After pausing for a few seconds, she said in a low voice, “I will come out right now.”

She hung up right after.

The old master looked at her. “Your friend is picking you up?”
