Serves You Right
Gu Liangwei’s heart raced. “What you mean to say is that they might not accept you and your sister?”
Yang Mengshan smiled slightly but she had a snicker hidden on her face. “What is there for my sister to be afraid of? Her score is so high already.”
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 didn’t 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 Youli’s 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 Mengshan’s name but he could feel that Yang Mengshan’s hand on his shoulder had started trembling slightly.
Yang Mengshan’s gaze was filled with shock and disbelief as she said, “How is this possible? Why am I not in?”
Gu Youli glanced at her. Yang Mengshan was looking so shocked so she reminded her kindly, “Your name isn’t there if you’re not accepted!”
Yang Mengshan’s face turned ghastly pale.
She wanted to mock Gu Youli initially but she could no longer gloat and said angrily, “How is that possible?”
Gu Youli looked at Yang Mengshan’s frown and explained kindly, “How is it not possible? Didn’t 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!”
Being checkmated by her own words gave Yang Mengshan a huge blow.
Yang Mengshan’s eyes welled up with hot tears as she screamed, “It’s you! You deleted my choice, right?”
Now it was Gu Liangwei’s turn to be shocked. “Mengshan, what are you talking about?”
Yang Mengshan clenched her fists tightly and told Gu Liangwei angrily, “It was Sis, she deleted my choice. That’s why my name isn’t on the list.”
Gu Youli glanced at her and explained in frustration. “Mengshan, that day after we filled in our choices, I didn’t 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?”
Yang Mengshan broke down and started crying. She said through clenched teeth, “If you didn’t delete it, why isn’t my name on the list?”
“How would I know? You should ask the school about that.” Gu Youli had a helpless expression on her face. She continued speaking in a sunken voice. “I can forgive you for spouting nonsense since you’re in a bad mood after not being accepted but I really can’t be bothered to go on about it with you.”
As she said that, Gu Youli looked at Gu Liangwei and said, “Dad, it’s almost 12 pm. I’ll go cook the rice and wash the vegetables.”
Gu Liangwei nodded and she left the study. After she closed the door, she could still hear Yang Mengshan’s conversation with Gu Liangwei.
“Alright, Mengshan. Stop maligning your sister. Didn’t you say this yourself that it’s very hard to predict the school’s acceptance list?”
“Dad, mine is an unpopular course. They would rather hope that I take the course.”
…
Gu Youli’s lips curled up coldly.
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.
