CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47: INSTANT FACE-SLAPPING 3

Nianyang noticed Gu Youlan’s eyes darting around suspiciously, and she could tell with her little toe what this white lotus was thinking.

It was nothing more than stepping on the original owner to elevate herself, just like she had been doing for over ten years.

Gu Youlan is only one year older than the original owner, so in theory, the original owner should be a grade lower.

But Wang Ying, to save a year of tuition, insisted on having both of them attend school together.

Although they were in different classes, everyone knew they were sisters, so whether it was classmates or teachers, they would unconsciously compare the two sisters.

In fact, Gu Youlan’s grades were average in her class, but compared to Nianyang, who failed every exam, she appeared to be an exemplary student in everyone’s eyes.

Moreover, Gu Youlan was quite the social butterfly, skilled in singing and dancing, with a sweet tongue, unlike the original owner who was dull and timid, winning her much favor among students and teachers.

Comparison leads to hurt, so the original owner was despised by the entire high school department. Every time the school published the red list exam results, everyone would praise Gu Youlan endlessly while looking down and mocking Gu Nianyang, a feeling Gu Youlan relished.

But today, Gu Youlan is destined to be disappointed!

"Yangyang, I need to go to the bathroom, you go check the red list yourself," at the school gate, Gu Youlan said sweetly to Nianyang.

"Sure, you go ahead." Nianyang nodded, watching Gu Youlan leave; she knew perfectly well this was just an excuse. Gu Youlan assumed she would fail the exam and didn’t want to be embarrassed by walking with her.

"Yangyang!"

Jiang Tian ran up from behind, affectionately hooking her arm around Nianyang’s.

"Sweet Jiang!" Nianyang smiled; Jiang Tian was in the same grade, just a different class.

"Wow, Yangyang, you’ve gotten so much fairer in just a few days!"

Nianyang touched her face without speaking, and Jiang Tian didn’t mind, furrowing her brow, "Yangyang, the sophomore students are all waiting at the red list for the results. If you go now, they’ll make fun of you again. How about I check for you, and then when everyone leaves, we can go get your notification letter together with the teacher?"

Jiang Tian’s concern warmed Nianyang’s heart, "It’s okay, Sweet Jiang, I don’t care what others think of me."

"But you can’t possibly pass; I’m worried you’ll be upset when you see the results." Jiang Tian was worried, given the Gu family’s favoritism, if Nianyang didn’t pass this time, they surely wouldn’t let her retake the year!

"Don’t worry, Sweet Jiang, I’m sure I’ll pass!"

"So confident? But you’ve never passed before!"

"Anyway, Sweet Jiang, trust me. I said I could pass, so I will. Just wait and see the good show!"

Jiang Tian wasn’t convinced, but looking at Nianyang’s calm demeanor, she seemed just like the bigwig character in dramas, everything under her control.

Jiang Tian suddenly felt a secret anticipation for the show Nianyang had promised.

★

When Nianyang and Jiang Tian reached the red list area, all 400 students from the 8 classes of the sophomore grade were already there.

Groups of students gathered, chatting animatedly.

Gu Youlan, with her best friend Yang Haiyan, was joking around with a bunch of male classmates under the red list.

Nianyang’s arrival made the hundreds of students pause for a moment, then erupt into waves of ruthless mockery.

"Oh, isn’t this the stupid pig student Gu Nianyang from class 2? Wow, she actually has the face to come see the red list?"

"Exactly, with her constant failing grades, it’s obvious she won’t make the cut, yet she comes to humiliate herself. Isn’t she afraid of embarrassment?"

"Must be thick-skinned. Look at her, from junior high to high school, when has she ever passed? Isn’t she happily scoring zeros all along? She’s used to it by now!"

"Tell me, how can they be so different when Gu Youlan and Gu Nianyang are born of the same mother? Gu Youlan is smart and beautiful, while Gu Nianyang is dark, clumsy, and dumb, not a single resemblance!"
