277 Top Scholar
“Manman, I know you’re kind, but you have to save some money for yourself. There’s no need to buy clothes for this brat.”
As he spoke, Huang Jun slapped Huang Jue resentfully. “You didn’t stop Manman from buying clothes. You’re enjoying it.”
Huang Jue gritted his teeth and covered his arm as he muttered unhappily, “I stopped her, but Sister didn’t listen. Dad, don’t worry. When I’m successful, I’ll let Sister spend the money I earn.”
“You’d better remember what you’re saying now. Don’t be a heartless person.”
Gu Man shook her head and did not say anything. She knew that she could not change Huang Jun’s mind within a short period of time. She might as well slowly condition him and take it slow.
Grandma watched Gu Man come out and asked curiously what had happened just now.
“Nothing. I just realized he was still asleep when I went upstairs, so I came down first.”
Gu Man blushed slightly and turned her head away, not daring to meet her grandmother’s gaze. Fortunately, her grandmother did not suspect anything and called her over to eat.
After cooking, Gu Man wanted to send it to Xiang Yin first. Now that she saw the dishes on the table, she felt hungry.
She pulled out the chair and sat down to eat.
Because of the police report, she had only bought a few clothes yesterday and had not bought a phone. Gu Man’s gaze landed on Huang Jue, who was eating happily. She said softly, “Huang Jue, we’re going out again today.”
“Huh?” Huang Jue looked up in confusion. A voice beside him rejected for him.
Huang Jun tried his best to persuade her. “Manman, I know you want to spend money on your cousin, but he’s a man. There’s no need to be so detailed. You should keep your money for yourself.”
“No, Uncle. I’m bringing Cousin out to tutor him.”
In order to avoid unnecessary entanglement, Gu Man still lied.
Gu Man blinked in Huang Jue’s direction and reminded him, “Didn’t you say that you have to look for Xiang Yin for questions you don’t know? Coincidentally, he’s free today. You can ask him any questions you don’t know.”
Huang Jue immediately became excited. He hurriedly stuffed the rice in his bowl into his mouth and wiped his mouth. In front of Gu Man, he said, “Sister, I’m done eating. Let’s go.”
“Look at how anxious you are.”
Grandma smiled at the two of them. The creases on her face seemed to deepen.
“Grandma, you don’t know that Brother Xiang is the top scorer of the college entrance examination. With him tutoring me, I’m not afraid of not being able to get into Han City First High School.”
Xiang Yin’s identity as the top scorer of the college entrance examination clearly surprised Grandma and Huang Jun. The two of them looked at each other, not expecting Xiang Yin to be the top scorer of the college entrance examination.
“Manman, aren’t you in the midst of preparing for the college entrance examination? If you have anything you don’t understand, ask Little Xiang.”
Her grandmother, who had wanted to stop the two of them from continuing their relationship, urged Gu Man to quickly look for Xiang Yin.
The top scorer of the college entrance examination was someone that could only be chanced upon by luck. It was fine even if the two of them fell in love. After all, Xiang Yin was the top scorer of the college entrance examination and was definitely different from ordinary people.
Moreover, Gu Man was so sensible. She would definitely not trip herself up for love.
The worry in Grandma’s heart instantly dissipated. She looked at Gu Man’s smile and waved her away.
Seeing her walk into the elevator, Grandma sighed.
“I originally wanted to stop the two of them from interacting, but I didn’t expect Little Xiang to be the top scorer of the college entrance examination. If Manman got along with him, Manman might be able to be a top scorer as well.”
Huang Jun had just recovered from his surprise and nodded in agreement.
“Actually, I’m also worried about Gu Man dating. Since Little Xiang is the top scorer of the college entrance examination, there’s nothing to worry about. He can even teach Huang Jue.”
“By the way, have you thought about finding a job recently? We can’t keep eating and living for free. Manman still has to focus on her studies now. We can’t let her be held back by family matters.”
Huang Jun hesitated for a moment before telling grandmother that he had gone to look for Gu Man to find a job. As he had expected, grandmother immediately scolded him. “Manman is already busy with her studies, yet you still make her worry for you.”
