Chapter 3
The Guo Family
The manor gates opened, and the car passed through rows of tall lilac trees before finally stopping in front of a three-story villa.
The setting sun dyed the entire villa with a rose-colored luster. The lotus flowers planted in the small fountain in front of the villa had just bloomed, and the entire courtyard was filled with a sweet fragrance.
This was the villa belonging to the wealthy Guo family in Haicheng.
Guo Lin waited for the butler to open the door, lifted her skirt, and elegantly got out of the car. She had been trained in all kinds of etiquette since she was a child, so she looked dignified and decent.
On the other hand, Guo Miao didn’t pay attention to her pretense. She opened the door and jumped down with her luggage.
She had already been to such a place once in her previous life. It was a place that screamed elegance but was rotten inside. She wanted no part of this place.
A delicious meal had already been prepared in the dining room. As soon as the door was opened, the aroma of the food hit their faces.
“Miaomiao, let’s eat first. I’ll ask the butler to escort you to your room later.”
Guo Miao placed her luggage at the door and looked at the food on the table coldly before sitting down calmly.
Sitting at the table, Guo Hu looked at his sister, who he had never met, and was a little confused.
It was said that this girl had grown up in the village, but despite seeing such the magnificent Guos’ villa, neither did she show any fear, nor did she reveal any envy or shock. This was beyond his expectations.
Moreover, although this sister was wearing glasses and crude clothes, one could still see her beauty. Even without makeup, she could still stand among the pampered daughters from rich families.
Of course, Guo Miao didn’t care about such a villa.
In her previous life, she had lived here for a few years. Later, she transmigrated a thousand years later and became the light of the Empire, living in a dormitory that the Empire’s government had specially built for her.
Although it was called a dormitory, it was, in fact, a fully intelligent high-end apartment. It was worth more than a hundred of the Guo family’s villas.
The family sat down. Guo Ming looked at his daughter and said, “Since you’re already home, there’s something I have to tell you.”
His eyes were cold as he sized up his uncouth daughter.
“Next month, we will announce that you are our other missing daughter, Lin’s twin sister. The Guo family is very prestigious in Haicheng, and Lin has been the first daughter in Haicheng all these years. We don’t want your appearance to affect our family’s reputation.”
Guo Miao snorted coldly in her heart.
Guo Ming left some words unsaid, which were “Don’t affect our Haicheng’s number one young miss in any way”.
After all, the first daughter of Haicheng was a considerable asset to the Guo family. Now, they could use this name to attract business partners. In the future, they could use this name to find a good marriage for Guo Lin. It would be best if it was a marriage in the capital. This way, the Guo family could rise to an even higher level.
Guo Miao had already experienced such a thing in her previous life, so she was not surprised.
“Sure.” She nodded slightly without any expression on her face.
“Also, you’ll be going to Haicheng High School tomorrow. I’ve already made the arrangements. Go to Class 10 of Year 1 first, and you won’t need to take the entrance test,” Guo Ming continued.
Guo Miao raised her eyebrows.
Haicheng University was one of the top universities in China, second only to Beijing University, Beijing Chinese University, and Yun University. The high school affiliated with Haicheng University was the best school in Haicheng.
There were ten classes in each grade in Haicheng High School. The students in Classes 1 and 2 were the top 100 students in the school.
In her previous life, Guo Miao did not take the entrance exam and used her connections to get into Class 10 of the first grade. This class was filled with ignorant and incompetent rich kids, which also foreshadowed her later school bullying.
Those rich children who grew up with gold and silver certainly couldn’t stand Guo Miao, who had just arrived. Coupled with Guo Lin’s instigation, Guo Miao’s life in Haicheng High School had been worse than death.
“No need, I can take the entrance test.” Guo Miao put her chopsticks down and looked straight at Guo Ming.
“It’s already good enough for you to get into the worst class in Haicheng High School. If you don’t do well, you’ll only embarrass the Guo family.” Guo Ming stared at Guo Miao with threatening eyes.
On the surface, Guo Miao seemed to compromise, but she already had other plans in her heart. She finished the glass of milk in one gulp and was prepared to return to her room.
Guo Lin was a little surprised that Guo Miao actually said she wanted to take the entrance test. She was really a country bumpkin who didn’t know her place.
