Chapter 394: Chapter 394

Gong Ruini helplessly followed Zhao Xuran, ready to leave, but when she reached the school gate, no one called them back, which infuriated Gong Ruini.

"Ugh, I regret it now, and I’m dumbfounded."

"If I had known this would happen, I really should have thick-skinned it once." But now, going back , Gong Ruini felt she couldn’t lose face like that.

"Hit a brick wall, didn’t you." Zhao Xuran actually wanted to persuade Gong Ruini not to be so haughty. After all, some situations are beyond their control.

Especially after he noticed that when Gong Ruini mentioned Cai Ming, those people seemed a bit wary.

Maybe they’ve regarded Cai Ming as their strongest opponent, so expecting them to step in is really impossible.

Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruini analyzed why they hadn’t shown up. Actually, Gong Ruini knew well that she was just taking a gamble and didn’t expect to lose, making her really lose face.

"Enough, let’s go back, really think without that practice book, our parents won’t pass the university entrance exam?" Gong Ruini was determined that those people would regret it.

"If they can’t get into university, I really don’t know who could," Zhao Xuran was absolutely supportive of Gong Tao and his group, as they had been working hard for days, waking up at six in the morning and not sleeping until midnight, constantly studying. It’s not something just anyone could match.

Earlier, when they went in, Zhao Xuran heard that not everything was about studying; some were chatting about topics unrelated to the exams. How could they get good grades with such study habits?

Cai Ming saw the two come back after a while, not surprised at all, "Back already."

Gong Ruini responded, "Back already, uncle, those people are really ungrateful."

"I said I’d copy the revision notes, and then Li Jing mocked me." Gong Ruini angrily recounted her grievances.

"Hmph, Li Jing doesn’t look magnanimous." That fool isn’t ordinary, Gong Ruini thought along the way; none of the others would want Cai Ming to copy such notes, but no one dared to step up as the sucker.

So Li Jing stood up, and the development of things aligned with what most people on the scene wanted, but Li Jing ended up taking the fall.

"So she’s just a silly woman," Cai Ming’s comment on Li Jing was kind enough, since the counterpart was a man, he couldn’t speak too harshly.

"Easily becomes others’ tool, but uncle, rest assured, you’ll definitely get into university. Those people won’t succeed even if they have the notes."

Cai Meina didn’t understand why her daughter had so many thoughts after going out for a short while, "How do you know they won’t get into university?"

"Just from their tendency to chat more over there."

This is why they won’t get into university? Cai Ming wanted to say Gong Ruini was oversimplifying things, "They do focus on revising at the educated youth point, and not all of them go there daily; some go for a few days, then take a few days off."

Those people have all sorts of guards up against Cai Ming and probe everywhere. Cai Ming isn’t dumb enough to fall for their tricks; of course he’ll investigate carefully, and upon close review, he uncovered issues.

Cai Ming doesn’t believe they’re genuinely revising at the educated youth point, "It’s all just an act."

Knowing his naive uncle wouldn’t so easily fall into others’ traps, see? He’s been observing these people for a while, or how else would he know everything so clearly?

Gong Ruini despises those people even more, "They’re all acting, but why focus on such small stakes?"

This is a national university entrance exam, not a selection for workers, farmers, and soldiers university from the commune, so what’s the point of all the mutual scheming? "Shouldn’t they be encouraging each other nonstop, raising their own scores too?"

Not to mention, just look at how Gong Tao and Zhao Gang’s families have been doing lately, their scores rising rapidly. The effect is obvious.

"That’s because there’s a rumor that each province, county, and commune has its own quotas for the university entrance exam." Watching Cai Ming’s embarrassment, Zhao Xuran naturally explained the reason they were acting the way they did.

Just one rumor drove this group mad, leaving Gong Ruini dumbfounded, "Do they have brains?"

"Can their brains handle university level work?" Gong Ruini was genuinely worried about their mental state, sighing, desperate to attend university, yet they wouldn’t properly scrutinize things.

"Wait, Brother Xu Ran, you’re not out and about every day, how do you know about this rumor?" Gong Ruini suddenly realized something seemed off, a detail she had missed.

Being home all day, it didn’t make sense that Zhao Xuran knew this and she didn’t. It baffled her.

Hmph, each person has their little alliances, their little smiles, but no one invites her, which infuriated Gong Ruini.

Gong Ruini angrily glared at Zhao Xuran, and that’s when Zhao Guangran burst out laughing, "Of course I know, because this rumor was spread by us."

Feeling pleased with himself after the deed, Zhao Guangran had been wanting to brag in front of Gong Ruini but hadn’t found the chance.

Zhao Guangran originally thought this topic wouldn’t come up and he’d have to wait for a future opportunity to show off to Gong Ruini, but would there be any fun in that, as it would be past relevance and Gong Ruini would have found a new interest?

Now finally seizing the chance to show off, Zhao Guangran naturally brought it up quickly.

Ah ah ah, no way, Gong Ruini was even more infuriated. How could they have done this, that really... "Why didn’t you let me participate in such a fun thing?"

Gong Ruini was seriously upset, didn’t she perform well enough? Even that dumb Zhao Guangran could join in, yet they didn’t want her, such a reliable young lady, to join, which was overly unfair.

Gong Ruini angrily glanced at Zhao Xuran; this must have been his idea.

Zhao Xuran gave Zhao Guangran a fierce glare; see, just knew that letting Gong Ruini know would lead to all sorts of dissatisfaction.

Not because she thought their actions were dishonorable, but because she’d be mad about not being included.

"It was just urgent when the idea came up." Gong Ruwen, the good-natured one, of course took this chance to explain.

Of course Gong Ruwen didn’t want Gong Ruini to be too upset, but he didn’t plan to save the Zhao Brothers from their predicament. At the time, he had suggested Ni Zi would be angry when she found out, but Zhao Guangran kept insisting she shouldn’t be involved, with many reasons.

As for why Zhao Xuran agreed to Zhao Guangran’s proposal, Gong Ruwen didn’t want to think too much.

Urgent, huh, go ahead, make excuses, really treating her like a fool.

Gong Ruini felt she couldn’t let it slide like that, or she’d really be treated as a fool; she must show her stance. This update ıs available on nοvelfire.net
