Chapter 746: Results for College Entrance Examination

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Shuxue stood affectionately by Old Madam Gu’s side, offering a warm smile. “Yes, Grandma.”

Old Madam Gu tenderly stroked the bridge of Gu Shuxue’s nose. “You know, dear, all the prestigious schools’ principals from the capital are attending tonight. You could discuss your results with them and seek their advice on which university suits you best.”

Gu Hongwei, recognizing his granddaughter’s exceptional talents, saw no reason to deter her from adding luster to his birthday celebration.

Observing the foundation Old Madam Gu had accidentally smudged with her nails, Gu Shuxue’s smile faltered. Desiring to fix her makeup, she hesitated, aware of the crowd around her. With a strained smile, she acquiesced, “Of course, Grandma.”

Gu Shuxue swiftly retrieved her phone and began checking her scores.

Meanwhile, at the main table, conversation revolved around the College Entrance Examination. Throughout the banquet hall, recent graduates eagerly awaited their results.

“It’s true. Today marks the release of the College Entrance Examination results. We can access them just after midnight.”

“It’s past midnight now. They say wealthy families’ ancestral homes, like the Gu’s, boast excellent feng shui. Let’s hope it brings us good fortune tonight.”

“I won’t be checking my scores in public. Gu Shuxue is the esteemed top student goddess of No.1 Middle School, known for her confidence in such matters. Let’s just enjoy the anticipation,” remarked one attendee.

“Those children from the Gu family’s eldest branch seem to be of similar age to Miss Shuxue. They must be taking the College Entrance Examination this year, right?” queried another.

“It seems we’re in for quite a spectacle,” agreed a third.

Privately, the younger generation of various families recognized that the banquet primarily catered to the elders. They congregated at the children’s table, relishing the entertainment.

Indeed, such grand gatherings among affluent families were always bustling affairs.

Meanwhile, at the main table, Gu Shuxue’s expression soured as she sighed.

Gu Zhaoye’s eyes sparked with curiosity. “What’s troubling you? Didn’t you perform admirably? What’s the score that warrants such a sigh?”

A discreet kick under the table from Gu Shuzhi and a whispered reprimand followed, “Father, restrain your enthusiasm. Don’t alienate others.”

Since Gu Shuxue had the audacity to check her scores publicly, surely she must have excelled. It was merely a tactic to heighten suspense and quell expectations.

“I didn’t do as well as I had hoped. I feel as though I underperformed,” admitted Gu Shuxue, a touch of melancholy coloring her otherwise posed countenance.

It was enough to tantalize everyone’s curiosity.

“How many points exactly?” inquired Gu Hongwei, turning his gaze to Gu Shuxue.

With a hint of playfulness in her tone, Gu Shuxue replied, “Grandpa, don’t hold it against me for what I’m about to say.”

Gu Hongwei, well acquainted with Gu Shuxue’s demeanor, simply nodded in understanding.

“710 points,” she disclosed.

The revelation sent shockwaves through the attentive listeners, igniting a flurry of reactions.

“Even on an off day, she still manages over 700! Miss Shuxue is truly exceptional!”

“The Gu family’s upbringing is remarkable. First, Young Master Shuzhi excels at Hua University, and now Miss Shuxue. Old Master Gu is indeed fortunate.”

The atmosphere at the children’s tables became animated.

“Seriously, calling this ‘underperforming’?”

“If only I could even dream of hitting 700.”

“Hasn’t Gu Shuxue surpassed 700 multiple times before? Why the self-deprecation?”

“Hey, you’re not Gu Shuxue. How can you presume to know her usual scores?”

Amidst the praise and banter, Gu Shuxue couldn’t help but smile faintly, basking in the admiration surrounding her.

Gu Hongwei’s satisfaction was evident, though he maintained a reserved demeanor. “Not bad,” he remarked.

The principal seated at the main table echoed his sentiment. “This score meets the requirements of any university.”

In truth, the score didn’t particularly astonish them. However, out of respect for the occasion, they refrained from overtly expressing their sentiments.

After all, regardless of their scores, acceptance into their desired universities remained uncertain.

“Thank you, principals,” Gu Shuxue acknowledged with genuine gratitude.

Her attention then shifted to Gu Zhaoming’s table, a smile playing on her lips. “I’ve heard that Eldest Uncle’s children are also sitting for the College Entrance Examination this year, isn’t that right?”
