Mrs. Xu caressed her new manicure and smiled at Ruan Xueling. “It’s rare for Mrs. Gu to ask us out. Ms. Caroline has already left Jin City for more than ten days. Mrs. Gu, have you finally given up on your fantasies and come to admit defeat to me?”
Mrs. Qi took a sip of tea and smiled. “Back then, so many of us were present to testify. I even recorded it. Mrs. Gu, you can’t go back on your word. Since you’ve admitted defeat, hand Xue Yao Jewelry over to Mrs. Xu.”
“Who told you that I’m admitting defeat?” Ruan Xueling had just received a message from Ms. Caroline saying that she would arrive later. She felt confident and straightened her back in front of Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Qi. “Mrs. Xu, you should think about how to bid farewell to the top designers of your company.”
Mrs. Xu sneered. “How arrogant. Who doesn’t know how to brag? I heard that Ms. Caroline has returned to France. I want to know how Mrs. Gu could have gotten your hands on the Angel series.”
Ruan Xueling was confident and couldn’t be bothered to argue with Mrs. Xu. She waited for Ms. Caroline to come.
However, her hesitation to speak was seen by Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Qi as guilty conscience. The two of them sneered and thought that Ruan Xueling could only talk glibly now, but wouldn’t she have to admit defeat like before?
“Is this the real daughter of the Gu family, Gu Jin? I heard that the marriage partner between the Gu family and the Xue family has changed from Gu Yang to Gu Jin?” Mrs. Qi’s gaze lingered on Gu Yang and Gu Jin, a smile on her face.
Ruan Xueling asked, “Where did you hear the rumors? The Xue family broke off the engagement with our family, so there’s naturally no engagement. What do you mean the brides got swapped? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”
Mrs. Qi was stunned, but she quickly thought of the Xue family and smiled again. “That’s true. Things are different now. After yesterday’s incident, I’m afraid it’s the Xue family’s turn to beg the Gu family to arrange a marriage.”
She did not think that the Gu family would really cancel the engagement with the Xue family. After all, the two clans were long-time friends. She only thought that the Gu family was trying to pretend it didn’t matter.
“I heard that the Gu family sent Gu Jin to First High School to be in the same class as Gu Yang.” Mrs. Qi seemed to be very interested in Gu Yang and Gu Jin, the real and fake daughters.
Ruan Xueling looked at her watch and waited for Caroline to come. She replied perfunctorily, “Yes.”
Mrs. Qi asked with concern, “Yangyang is in the top class, right? That’s the best class in the school. Every year, the average score for the college entrance examination is 985. Yangyang can handle the top class with ease, but Gu Jin used to study in a high school in the countryside. Can she keep up?
Gu Yang took a deep breath. It was one thing for cannon fodder to court death, but using her to make Gu Jin look bad was unbearable!
She smiled gently at Mrs. Qi and said, “My sister has always been first in the cohort since she was young. She can still keep up with the progress of the elite
class.”
Gu Jin’s hand that was playing with her phone paused, and her cold and clear eyes looked straight at Gu Yang.
Ruan Xueling was also stunned. She had gotten someone to investigate Gu Jin since she was young, and she knew that Little Jin’s grades were alright. She had always been number one in her grade in the countryside high school.
But how did Yangyang know?
As if sensing Ruan Xueling’s puzzled gaze, Gu Yang turned to her and smiled.
“Mom, you still have Big Sister’s report card from when she was young, right?” Ruan Xueling realized that Yangyang had accidentally seen the report card sent to her by the private detective.
Gu Jin’s eyes darkened.
Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Xu were a little surprised, but they quickly remembered that even if Gu Jin was first, she was still from a rural high school. “A rural high school can’t compare to First High School. Even if you came in first, you’re only good enough to be at the bottom of the class now.”
Gu Yang smiled slightly, her tone still gentle. “Even if my sister is at the bottom, she’s still better than Qi Yan who can’t enter the top class..”
