If Gu Zhaoming hadn’t been holding Ruan Xueling’s hand, she would have jumped up in excitement.

She gazed at Gu Yang and the other two, her eyes glazed over as if she envisioned three shimmering “750” marks dancing before her. She couldn’t help but mutter, “Perfect scores for all three of them… Oh my goodness!”
She felt emboldened, believing that upon her return to Jin City, she would command respect at any affluent gathering or birthday banquet.
Gu Pei was equally stunned.
He had always known the trio were exceptional, but their scores surpassed even his lofty expectations.
After recovering from his shock, Gu Pei turned to Gu Shuxue, his tone tinged with pride. “Gu Shuxue, didn’t you feel that your performance was below par as well? If you’re considering repeating the exam, you should. There’s still plenty of room for improvement for you.”
“Unlike my sister and the others, who have already reached their peak, even in their worst performances.”
Gu Pei feigned a helpless sigh, but his eyes betrayed his smug satisfaction.
His sister, along with Gu Jin and Feng Jue, were truly remarkable!
In that moment, Gu Shuxue felt as though her painstaking efforts had been reduced to mere folly.
Initially, she had intended to leverage her cousins’ College Entrance Examination results to bolster her own fame. Yet, she found herself relegated to a supporting role.
Although her own score was commendable, it was instantly overshadowed by the three perfect scores.
Gu Pei’s words stung, leaving her seething with anger, but she found herself unable to retort.
Old Madam Gu had not anticipated such exceptional results from the eldest branch. The realization left her mind reeling and her face burning with embarrassment. Without thinking, she blurted out, “It’s too much of a coincidence for all three of them to score perfect marks. Could they have cheated together?”
Her words plunged the room into a stunned silence.
Nearby guests regarded Old Madam Gu with incredulous expressions.
Gu Hongwei’s expression darkened. Unable to contain his frustration, he raised his hand and delivered a sharp slap to Old Madam Gu’s face. “Ms. Feng!”
Why hadn’t he realized sooner that Ms. Feng was speaking without forethought?
Old Madam Gu winced from the force of the blow, her face smarting. Suddenly coming to her senses, she scrambled to rectify her blunder. “Old Master, that’s not what I meant. I-I was simply taken aback.”
She couldn’t comprehend what had come over her, but upon seeing Gu Yang and her siblings, she found herself unable to suppress the dark thoughts that had surfaced in her mind.
Gu Yang’s lips curled into a subtle smirk.
Wasn’t it a direct attack on her family? Well, she would help her father reclaim some interest first.
The principals, who had been vying for Gu Yang’s attention, frowned upon hearing Ms. Feng’s words.
“Old Madam Gu, while we understand your surprise, you must be mindful of your words.”
“The integrity of the Chinese College Entrance Examination is beyond reproach. Your insinuations are highly disrespectful to the officials involved!”
Political figures seated at the head table wore stern expressions.
“Old Madam Gu, choose your words wisely. Otherwise, you may find yourself held accountable for your remarks.”
Other guests murmured amongst themselves as they observed Old Madam Gu, shaking their heads in disapproval.
“No wonder the Gu family is on the decline. With such a foolish matriarch, it’s no surprise.”
“It’s said that a wife can affect three generations of descendants. This matriarch of the Gu family, tsk tsk.”
“It’s one thing to be biased, but why does her brain have to be biased too?”
Even the elders of the Gu family couldn’t help but furrow their brows upon witnessing Old Madam Gu’s behavior.
Old Madam Gu experienced a level of embarrassment she had never felt before. In that moment, she turned to Gu Shuxue by her side, unable to contain her frustration any longer.
