Sudden Cold Shoulder
Her mind flashed back to the scene in the hospital after she had died. Gu Youli found it hard to show affection towards her and pushed her away, subconsciously.
However, Yang Mengshan put her arms around her relentlessly. “Guess quickly, Sis!”
She pouted at Gu Youli and looked very cute.
“I don’t know!” Gu Youli smiled a little but the indifference in her eyes was as cold as frost.
Yang Mengshan could sense Gu Youli’s indifference and was a little bewildered.
Why was she not being like her usual self? She had been holding her hand and joking around with her last night.
She became anxious and asked her. “Sis, are you angry at me for not asking you to come along when I went out in the morning?”
Gu Youli’s smile was arrogant and cold. “No. I’m just tired from all the reading. I’m really tired. I want to take a little nap!”
She didn’t know if it was because she had been plain stupid or that Yang Mengshan did a really good job at concealing herself that she never sensed her evilness in the previous life.
Instead, she had been proud to have such a beautiful sister who finished her graduation.
She had cared for her with utmost sincerity, buying jackets for her during winter, fearing that she would feel cold and buying an air conditioner during summer to help her avoid too much heat in her dormitory.
She used to be afraid that Yang Mengshan would not have enough pocket money and she would lose face in front of her classmates so she scrimped and saved to give her more money to spend.
Yang Mengshan would always sing her praises and say that her sister had the purest heart in the entire world.
Gu Youli only realized now that it was not pure but foolish.
As her train of thoughts ran on, Gu Youli was filled with self-mockery, sorrow, and even more doubts.
Was the Yang Mengshan who was being affectionate to her right now, already scheming against her or did she change when she entered the workforce?
Also, did she find out the truth about them not being fraternal twins a year after she joined the workforce when she reunited with her grandmother, or did she already know about it at this point or even earlier?
Gu Youli really wanted to find out all these things but right now, she needed some quiet time, not to sleep, but to revise her work.
In her previous life, even though she missed the college entrance exam, she had taken a look at the questions after that.
Thankfully, she could still remember most of it. So, she needs to revise her work well.
Upon hearing Gu Youli say that she was tired and needed to rest, Gu Liangwei quickly said, “Sure, then Youli, take a nap. Mengshan, get yourself a bowl of iced green bean soup quickly and take a short nap, too. Your teachers gave you a break so that you can rest. Stop going out to play.”
Yang Mengshan glanced at Gu Youli with sorrow and pouted. She hesitated but then followed Gu Liangwei out pitifully.
Gu Youli’s gaze sharpened immediately. She watched her for a few seconds before flipping her textbook open.
Gu Youli slept very late that day. She revised the questions for the exam over and over again.
Even though she slept very late, she woke up very early and was feeling rejuvenated.
Because of the college entrance exam, the traffic police had restricted the traffic on the roads.
The Gu Household was quite far from the exam venue so Gu Liangwei got up very early and drove the two sisters to the place in his old delivery van.
It was coincidental that the two of them were taking the exam in the same school.
When he dropped them off, Gu Liangwei constantly reminded them, “Don’t be too nervous during the exam. Just do it as you normally would!”
He kept reminding his two daughters to not be nervous but his forehead was already full of perspiration.
Yang Mengshan wrapped her arms around Gu Liangwei’s arm and said in a cute manner, “Daddy, don’t worry. When have your daughters ever disappointed you?”
