Quickly wear in the small world while eating melons

The next day was the high school entrance exam. To avoid a repeat of the situation in her previous life, Gu Wanwan left home very early and took a taxi to school herself.

So when Gu Mingyue got up for breakfast and saw that Gu Wanwan wasn't there, she said, "Why isn't Wanwan up yet? Is something wrong? Let's go wake her up quickly, or she'll be late. She has her first exam today."

Her attempt to soothe him was very successful. Upon hearing this, Gu Min'an angrily retorted, "What kind of behavior is this? Knowing that there's an exam today, you still slept in. You don't care about your studies at all. Where is the demeanor of a young lady from a respectable family?"

Actually, before Gu Mingyue arrived, the rest of the Gu family had already forgotten about Gu Wanwan. They ate as usual.

The reason Gu Min'an said this was not only because he was genuinely angry, but also because he was trying to cover something up.

Gu Shaolin said, "Sis, just ignore her. It's better if she doesn't get up. She can just miss the exam and get last place."

Xu Yuexin scolded, "Shaolin, what are you saying? Wanwan is your older sister."

Gu Shaolin didn't verbally refute his mother, but inwardly he was disdainful. Who would want that country bumpkin as his sister?

Gu Mingyue said, "How about I go and wake my sister up? Otherwise, she'll miss the exam, which would be bad. She just got into Xinghai High School. And Dad went to great lengths to get her in. If she comes in last place, not only will she let Dad down, but he'll also lose face!"

These words made Gu Min'an frown deeply, and he felt even more dissatisfied with the daughter who had been found.

At the same time, she was even more satisfied with Gu Mingyue. As expected of the noble lady she had raised since childhood, she was sensible and different from Gu Wanwan, who was petty. Gu Wanwan was always targeting her, but she could still think of her.

Once again, I felt a pang of regret: why wasn't Mingyue my biological daughter?

Why is it that Gu Wanwan, who is utterly useless, is his own biological daughter?

If it weren't for the paternity test, I really wouldn't believe it!

Gu Shaoze, who had been eating by himself, spoke up directly: "Aunt Wang, go upstairs and wake Gu Wanwan up."

Aunt Wang is an elder in the Gu family. She watched the young masters and ladies grow up, especially Gu Mingyue, who was practically raised by her.

Moreover, because her daughter died in an accident when she was young, she developed empathy for Gu Mingyue, who was about the same age as her daughter, and regarded her as a way to express her feelings for her daughter. Over the years, she has treated Gu Mingyue as her own daughter.

In her previous life, she put in a lot of effort to suppress Gu Wanwan, and she was on par with Gu Shaolin.

Upon hearing the instructions, Aunt Wang immediately prepared to go upstairs. She had long been dissatisfied with the found real daughter.

How dare she, a mere country girl, steal Miss Mingyue's things! And even dare to target Miss Mingyue!

Yes, that's right, Aunt Wang also knows about what happened last night.

Miss Mingyue is simple and kind, so I won't hold it against her. But I can't tolerate any nonsense, so I must avenge Miss Mingyue and teach her a lesson.

Just as she was preparing to take revenge on Gu Wanwan, she was caught off guard and frozen in place by what she was about to say.

A maid who had been listening for a long time said weakly, "But...but, Miss Wanwan has already left."

Her voice was very soft; if the dining room hadn't been so quiet, probably no one would have been able to hear her.

Gu Mingyue said in disbelief, "What did you say? Say it again!"

Gu Mingyue's voice startled the maid. She didn't understand why the usually kind young lady would suddenly be so ferocious, but she still honestly said, "Miss Wanwan has already left."

This person was a new maid who had just started working. She was cleaning the living room when she happened to run into Gu Wanwan leaving.

Gu Mingyue realized she had made a mistake and quickly composed herself, asking, "Are you telling the truth?"

The maid nodded repeatedly and said, "It's true, I saw Miss Wanwan leave the house when I was cleaning the living room earlier."

Gu Mingyue couldn't believe it; how could Gu Wanwan have left so early?

She's just a country bumpkin who doesn't know anything, how dare she go out alone?

She would have left long ago, so her plan couldn't be carried out.

Although she thought Gu Wanwan, who came from the countryside, must not have good grades, she always preferred to play it safe. Just in case, she planned to make sure Gu Wanwan missed the exam.

Even if she is good at studying, she can forget about getting good grades.

Besides, there's a difference between having poor grades and being last. If she missed the exam, she might end up last, which would make the Gu family even more disappointed in her.

Now, the plan has completely fallen through.

Gu Min'an said angrily, "Then why didn't you say so just now?"

It made them lose face by talking to themselves.

The other members of the Gu family were also furious. Since Gu Wanwan had already left, it made them look like fools.

Although there was no one else in the hall, losing face in front of the servants still angered them, so they inevitably harbored some resentment towards Gu Mingyue for bringing it up.

If she hadn't mentioned Gu Wanwan, they wouldn't have even thought of her.

If Gu Mingyue knew what they were thinking, she would definitely scoff. It was clearly their own fault, but they insisted on blaming her. See? This is the selfish and self-serving Gu family.

They're only nice to her now because she can bring them more benefits. If her existence were to infringe upon their interests one day, they would abandon her without hesitation.

It was precisely because she understood the Gu family's nature that she spared no effort in trying to drive Gu Wanwan away.

Because she knew that if Gu Wanwan was better than her later on, they would choose Gu Wanwan without hesitation.

Or they don't need anything better. As long as Gu Wanwan has value, they won't drive her away and will do their best to cultivate her.

But if Gu Wanwan doesn't leave, there will always be a sword hanging over his head, reminding him that he is just a fake heiress!

The maid dared not utter a word when questioned by Gu Min'an, for fear of taking her anger out on her.

Unfortunately, even if she didn't say anything, she was still targeted with anger.

Gu Shaoze said, "Aunt Wang, settle her wages in a bit and let her go. We don't need someone so clueless."

After saying that, he got up and left.

The Gu family didn't care about the servant's departure or retention, and they all got up and left.
