Chapter 1028: Lin Miao Gets Into University

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With a sense of growing anxiety, Zhang Mei took out the phone book and, her fingers trembling slightly, dialed the number of the homeroom teacher. fгeewebnovёl.com

“Hello, Teacher Gao, it’s me, Zhang Mei. I was hoping you could help me check Lin Miao’s exam results. I’d like to prepare myself, you know.”

On the other end of the line, Teacher Gao, exhausted and still furious from a sleepless night, answered with a sharp edge in her voice. She had received the news late last night and it had kept her up, seething.

When she heard Zhang Mei’s voice, she could barely contain her frustration. She regretted ever listening to Zhang Mei’s nonsense, which had led to Lin Miao taking the spot meant for Gu Zi.

“Why are you asking about a score that’s barely enough to get into university? You think your child is a top scorer or something? Just follow the rules and check the results at the school like everyone else. Honestly,” she snapped, before hanging up abruptly, not even giving Zhang Mei a chance to reply.

Teacher Gao’s anger was palpable; if it weren’t for Zhang Mei’s persistent interference, maybe they wouldn’t have had to settle for Lin Miao—a student with no remarkable talents—taking Gu Zi’s place. Now they were stuck with this disappointment. She could hardly speak without letting a curse slip.

On the other side, Zhang Mei, oblivious to the teacher’s rant, was fixated on one phrase: barely enough to get into university. Her heart skipped a beat. That meant Lin Miao had passed!

Zhang Mei, basking in her own joy, scowled as soon as she heard Gu Zi’s name. “Lin Miao, why do you always bring her up? Even if she did manage to get in, what’s so special about her? She’s been at home raising children and cooking meals; there’s no way she could have been studying seriously. Her scores are probably just enough for a junior university. She shouldn’t even have taken the exam.”

Zhang Mei knew full well that Gu Zi had been an exemplary student in the past, but that was only because of the superior education she had received at the Gu family’s expense. Now that Gu Zi was married, she was stuck at a lower-tier school, Renhe Middle School. Zhang Mei had heard that Gu Zi had used the spot at Renhe but hadn’t even attended classes, preferring to stay home and take care of the children. How could someone like her possibly outperform Lin Miao, who had worked hard and had extra tutoring?

Gu Shan, overhearing Zhang Mei’s biased comments, felt a pang of guilt. “Don’t talk like that about Gu Zi. If she hadn’t gotten married, it would have been Lin Miao staying home with the kids, and not studying.”

Zhang Mei, already irate from Gu Shan’s betrayal, flared up. Since Gu Shan had strayed, she’d been on a power trip, feeling entitled to speak freely. “Gu Zi had no choice but to get married. She owes us that much. Stop bringing her up. It’s a good day for Lin Miao, so let’s focus on that, shall we?”
