Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Once the matter regarding the Ouyang family and the other families was exposed, Chu Luo knew that she didn’t have to concern herself with it anymore.
On June 26, the exciting time for the college entrance examination candidates to check their scores finally arrived.
Chu Zhengyang asked the chauffeur to drive him over to wait for Chu Luo at six in the morning.
Chu Luo had just woken up when she heard this.
However, since she had said that she would return to the Wei residence today, she didn’t make things difficult for Chu Zhengyang. She packed some things, carried her backpack, and walked out.
What surprised her was that she didn’t see Li Yan on the way out.
As she walked towards the courtyard, someone suddenly came over and said to her, “Miss Chu, Master left at five because he had something to attend to.”
Chu Luo nodded and walked out.
When Chu Zhengyang saw Chu Luo walking out, he couldn’t believe his eyes.
He didn’t expect Chu Luo to have become so elegant in just ten days. Most importantly, she had clipped up her fringe with a small cherry clip, revealing her full and smooth forehead. She looked energetic like this.
“Luoluo, where’s the scar on your forehead?”
“I had it removed.” Chu Luo looked at him with her big, clear eyes and continued, “I’ve already grown up. Was I really supposed to live with that scar for the rest of my life?”
Chu Zhengyang was stunned by this question. After a while, he said, “Yes, yes… Uncle had planned to take you to remove the scar after your college entrance examination.”
Chu Luo glanced at him and got into the car without responding.
When the car arrived back at the Wei residence, it was seven o’clock.
Today, almost everyone from the Wei family was present. Even Wei Jianze and Wei Guangnian, who had been recuperating, were sitting in the living room. Wei Wei and Chu Ting weren’t out yet.
When the two of them entered, everyone’s eyes focused on Chu Luo’s face. At the same time, they revealed surprise and disbelief.
“Luoluo?” Wei Xueying exclaimed in surprise. “I didn’t expect you to become so beautiful after that scar is removed!”
After saying that, she subconsciously glanced in the direction that Chu Ting would emerge from. Seeing that no one was there yet, she smiled and said, “When Aunt and Tingting come, we’ll have breakfast. After we’re done, we’ll wait to check your college entrance examination scores.”
Chu Luo nodded and greeted the others before finding an armchair to sit down.
Everyone waited for two minutes before Wei Wei and Chu Ting came out. The moment Wei Wei came out, she glared at Chu Zhengyang, clearly unhappy with Chu Zhengyang for picking Chu Luo up early in the morning.
Just as Chu Ting was about to greet the Wei family’s elders, she saw Chu Luo sitting there and her expression changed. “You are here!”
Chu Luo looked at Chu Ting, who was even thinner than before, and smiled. “That’s right. Are you very surprised?”
“How is that possible!” Chu Ting’s chest suddenly burned with anger. She pointed at Chu Luo and roared like a demon, “Who gave you permission to remove the scar on your forehead? You should be an ugly freak for the rest of your life. You…”
“Tingting, that’s enough!”
“Daddy, why do you help Chu Luo every time? Is it like Mommy said? That actually, Chu Luo is your illegitimate daughter. You…”
“Enough! How unsightly!”
With Wei Yongchang’s berating, Chu Ting’s arrogance was instantly extinguished. However, she felt wronged and was indignant at the fact that Chu Luo was becoming more and more beautiful while she was becoming uglier and uglier.
At the thought of this, she started sobbing.
The veins on Wei Yongchang’s forehead popped.
First Madam was worried that Wei Yongchang would flare up. After all, Chu Ting was their biological niece and she was biased towards her. She hurriedly stood up and walked towards Chu Ting, using the handkerchief in her hand to wipe her tears.
“Tingting, be good. Let’s go have breakfast first. After we’re done, we’ll wait for the results of the college entrance examination. First Aunt has already prepared a congratulatory gift for you. Once you’ve checked the scores, I’ll give it to you.”
Chu Ting nodded at First Madam as she swallowed. “Thank you, First Aunt.”
She even gave Chu Luo a smug look.
Chu Luo didn’t even look at Chu Ting.
Everyone went to the dining room to eat.
While they were eating, Wei Yongchang suddenly said, “Luoluo, Master has been found. He will come over this afternoon to transfer the Gu worm away from your body.”
Chu Luo nodded at him and said, “Thank you.”
When she heard this, Chu Ting’s face contorted again. She hurriedly tugged at the clothes of Wei Wei, who was sitting beside her.
Wei Wei calmly gave her a reassuring look. She had already made arrangements.
Only then did Chu Ting feel relieved.
Chu Luo, who was sitting at the side, looked at their small actions and smiled.
At this moment, she said, “Actually, I don’t think I was poisoned by a Gu worm.”
“How is that possible!” Chu Ting and Wei Wei screamed at the same time.
Chu Luo didn’t look at the two of them. She said to Chu Zhengyang and the others, who also didn’t believe her, “I’ve been living well outside. I’ve never felt any pain. Also, I eat and sleep well. In fact, I’ve even gained four kilograms recently.”
Previously, she weighed only 40 kilograms.
Before the others could say anything, Chu Ting sneered, “Hmph! If you didn’t get agitated, the Gu worm definitely won’t have acted up.”
“Is that so?” Chu Luo nodded and said seriously, “Luckily, I’d moved out. If I’d kept living here, I would have been on tenterhooks all day long. It’s impossible for me not to have been agitated.”
These words were already very straightforward. The heads of the Wei family all looked at Wei Wei with unfriendly gazes.
Wei Wei was so angry that her face turned ashen. She gritted her teeth to suppress the urge to slap Chu Luo in the face.
Chu Ting wasn’t looking well either. There was that pain in her body again. She hurriedly took a deep breath, thinking that the results would be out soon. When her results were revealed to be better than Chu Luo’s, she would be able to ruthlessly trample on her.
Everyone had their own thoughts and didn’t say anything else.
After breakfast, everyone moved to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
The youngsters took their laptops over.
Wei Xueying said, “The Internet will surely be very jammed later. Let’s all check it. We’ll use the computer of whoever manages to log in.”
Chu Ting hurriedly said, “After logging in, check mine first.” After saying that, she sat down in the middle of the group.
Chu Luo sat in the armchair beside her. Chu Zhengyang also took out the laptop that he had bought for her last time and passed it to her.
Chu Luo looked at Chu Ting, who was purposely trying to get close to them so as to ostracize her, and coldly retracted her gaze. She then turned on her laptop and quickly typed in a code.
At 8 AM.
Throughout the country, students were trying to check their scores.
For a moment, the phone lines and the Internet were jammed.
Chu Luo had just keyed in an acceleration code. At this moment, she swiftly opened the webpage.
Chu Ting, who was sitting opposite them, urged them anxiously, “Cousin, Cousin, Cousin, hurry up. It’s been a minute. Why haven’t you opened the webpage?”
Wei Wei comforted her. “Tingting, don’t be anxious. There are so many people checking their scores right now. It’s normal for the Internet speed to be slower.”
Chu Zhengyang was also sitting with a laptop in his hand. The middle-aged people were staring at the screen.
The entire living room was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Chu Luo entered her admission ticket number and pulled up her score. Then, she smiled.
At this moment, Wei Xueying looked up casually and saw the smile on her face. She asked, “Luoluo, did you find out your score?”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo nodded and everyone looked at her.
“How many points did you score?”
Several voices had sounded at the same time.
Chu Luo looked at Chu Ting, who had the words “You must have scored averagely” written in her eyes, and deliberately said, “The results are just as I’d expected.”
They were about to ask more questions when Wei Zihan suddenly said, “I’m logged in.”
Chu Ting hurriedly retracted her gaze and said to him, “Cousin, hurry up and key in my admission ticket number.”
She proceeded to recite her admission ticket and got Wei Zihan to enter it.
A few seconds later, Wei Zihan hit the confirm button.
When Chu Ting saw her score, she immediately grabbed her clothes as though she was unable to breathe.
“Tingting, what’s wrong?”
“What’s Tingting’s score?”
Amid the other voices, Chu Ting wailed, “How is that possible? How is it possible that I only scored 625! Boohoo, this definitely isn’t my result…”
Wei Wei, who was about to stand up, fell back down.
She shouted with a livid expression, “How is that possible!”
She then stared at Wei Zihan. “Zihan, did you key in the wrong number and are looking at someone else’s result? Previously, Tingting’s form teacher and the teacher who’d tutored her said that she would definitely get into Imperial University.”
“Aunt, these are Tingting’s marks.”
Wei Zihan’s affirmative words were like a wake-up call. Wei Wei, who was used to being domineering, didn’t expect her daughter to have gotten such a score.
Chu Ting couldn’t accept it either. However, she was still thinking about comparing Chu Luo’s score to hers. It was fine as long as Chu Luo scored worse than her.
At this thought, she didn’t ask Chu Luo and said to Wei Zihan directly, “Cousin Zihan, quickly, check Chu Luo’s score. Hurry.”
After saying that, she suddenly jumped out of her seat and snatched the admission ticket that Chu Luo had deliberately left lying around.
Wei Zihan glanced at Chu Ting, who had a crazy look in her eyes, and then at Chu Luo, who had a calm expression. He entered Chu Luo’s admission ticket number.
Then…
Wei Xueying was the first to cover her mouth in surprise.
“How is that possible! How is that possible! Ooh… I’m in so much pain…”
Chu Ting’s face turned pale as she clutched her chest and curled up on the sofa. That pose was exactly the same as when the Gu poison flared up.
However, at this moment, no one believed her. They felt that she was pretending again. The heads of the Wei family even shook their heads in their hearts, thinking in disappointment how Tingting had become so jealous.
As Wei Wei had been dealt a blow by Chu Ting’s score, she had yet to recover from her shock and didn’t pay much attention to her daughter.
Chu Zhengyang walked over and hugged Chu Ting in his arms to appease her anger. At the same time, he couldn’t help but say in disappointment, “Tingting, you’re already grown up. Can you stop being so stubborn?”
When she heard these words, Chu Ting’s body trembled in anger.
At this moment, Wei Yongchang asked, “How many points did Luoluo score exactly?”
Wei Zihan looked at the calm Chu Luo with a complicated expression and said, “Full marks, 750 points.”
