Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities

Chapter 747: The Three College Entrance Examination Students in My Family Are Indeed Underperforming

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Zhaoming and his family were dining peacefully when they suddenly paused, their chopsticks hovering mid-air as they glanced towards the main table.

“I wonder how my cousins fared,” pondered Gu Shuxue with genuine curiosity. However, realizing the potential discomfort her inquiry might cause, she hastily added, “I’m just concerned about my cousins. If it’s inconvenient for you to discuss, please disregard my question.”

The attention of the entire banquet shifted to Gu Zhaoming’s table.

The adults observed the scene with a hint of amusement in their eyes, choosing to remain silent and let the situation unfold.

Conversely, the children’s table exhibited less restraint.

“After the return of the Gu family’s first branch, the second branch seems to be directly challenging them.”

“The eldest branch has quite a large number of children. If none of them can rival Gu Shuxue, it might undermine the prestige of the first branch once they return to the main family.”

“Speaking of which, doesn’t the daughter of the eldest branch bear a striking resemblance to my little fairy, Yangyang? I wonder how she fared in the College Entrance Examination.”

Gu Hongwei cast a disapproving glance at Gu Shuxue, his brow furrowing slightly. He found her impulsive behavior uncharacteristic.

Gu Shuxue’s father, Gu Zhao’an, observed the disapproval in Gu Hongwei’s expression and promptly rose from his seat, addressing his daughter sternly. “Shuxue, while your concern for your Eldest Uncle’s family is commendable, it’s inappropriate to bring up their personal difficulties here.”

The mention of a “sad event” piqued the guests’ curiosity.

Gu Zhao’an sighed heavily. “In the past, your Eldest Aunt was involved in a car accident during the College Entrance Examination. It made headlines. How do you think your cousins could focus on their exams under such circumstances?”

Gu Shuxue’s expression shifted to one of surprise and guilt. She turned to her Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt, offering a sincere apology. “Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, and my dear cousins, I’m truly sorry. I wasn’t aware of the situation as I don’t often keep up with the news.”

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have mentioned your exam results.”

The sincerity in the father-daughter exchange resonated with many in attendance.

“Wasn’t there news about a car accident during the College Entrance Examination from the Gu family in Jin City?”

“So, the primary branch of the Gu family in the capital is actually the Gu family in Jin City!”

“It’s truly unfortunate that such an incident occurred,” remarked another guest, echoing the sentiment.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the room, the children buzzed with excitement.

“Wow, so the eldest branch is from the Gu family in Jin City! I knew it was her, my little fairy Yangyang! I must get a photo with her later.”

“The second branch is so despicable. They’re well aware of Gu Yang’s family situation, yet they still had the audacity to inquire about their exam results!”

“Gu Shuxue didn’t mean any harm. Let’s not be so harsh.”

Gu Yang observed the drama unfolding between the members of the second branch with amusement. While she couldn’t ascertain if the culprit came from this branch, Gu Shuxue’s claim of ignorance seemed dubious to her.

Gu Pei rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath, “I wonder what kind of trash bag she’s made of. So adept at concealing trash.”

In a hushed tone, Gu Pei addressed Gu Yang and the others, “Sister, Gu Jin, Feng Jue, let’s check our scores and put an end to this absurdity!”

Gu Jin looked puzzled. “She lost too much blood?”

Gu Pei responded matter-of-factly, “Well, with a name like that, it’s hard not to think so, isn’t it?”

He encouraged Gu Yang, Gu Jin, and Feng Jue to check their scores promptly.

Ruan Xueling, incensed by the comments from the second branch, abandoned her usual decorum and prepared to retort.

However, Gu Zhaoming intervened, rising from his seat with a sigh. “Given my wife’s condition, my three exam-taking children understandably struggled.”

Gu Hongwei motioned for him to remain seated. “Disasters, whether natural or otherwise, are unpredictable. There’s no need to dwell on this setback. Just focus on doing better next time.”

Gu Shuxue chimed in with reassurance. “Exactly. If you didn’t perform well this time, there’s always another chance. My cousins will surely excel.”

Old Madam Gu let out a cold laugh. “Then why settle for mediocrity and risk repeating a year? Even Shuxue admits when she hasn’t done her best. Why are Zhaoming’s children so timid?”

“Ms. Feng,” Gu Hongwei interjected, casting a warning glance at Old Madam Gu.

Gu Zhaoming’s expression clouded over, a mixture of frustration and resignation evident in his demeanor. “Mother is correct. Yangyang, Jin, Xiao Jue, follow your cousin’s example and share your scores.”

Gu Hongwei felt a pang of sympathy for his eldest son, witnessing him being pressured into compliance. His dissatisfaction with Old Madam Gu intensified.
