Chapter 277: Li Yuanxiang’s Problem 2
The woman who was talking looked very mean. And she was looking at Li Yuanxiang in a mocking way.
Gu Chaoyan followed the origin of the voice, and saw a properly-dressed woman with a few maids who kept their heads lowered. Gu Chaoyan suddenly thought of what Zhou Huaijin told her – this woman must have been Liu Hanxiang’s birth mother, the other legal wife of Liu Zongyuan.
She must be here to pick up Liu Hanxiang, and she just could not help but mock Li Yuanxiang at the sight of her.
Subconsciously, Gu Chaoyan took hold of Li Yuanxiang’s hand, offering her some consolation.
Li Yuanxiang was a soft-tempered person, and most of the time, she looked quite weak.
Gu Chaoyan was about to say something when Li Yuanxiang greeted that woman directly. “Madame Liu, what are you doing here?”
Madame Liu smiled briefly. “Nothing special, just here to pick up Hanxiang with the Old Master. Never expected to run into you here. I am just wondering how you are doing. I never knew that Mrs. Li allowed you to take this examination too. Did you pa.s.s the examination? If you failed, what about me turning to Old Master so he can offer you some help?”
At this moment, Liu Zongyuan walked out of the wagon. He must have gotten curious about what happened after hearing what Mrs. Liu said.
The moment he walked out of the wagon and saw Li Yuanxiang, his face sank directly and he refused to take one more look at her.
“I am sorry, but I have pa.s.sed the examination. I will study at the Medical Department after the Mid-Autumn Festival.” Li Yuanxiang said with a strong voice, looking full of pride.
She did not like any comparison, but she did dislike the way Mrs. Liu looked down at her.
Hearing that Li Yuanxiang pa.s.sed the examination, Mrs. Liu looked surprised. Even Liu Zongyuan could not help but take a look at Li Yuanxiang. He had a slightly better expression on his face, but he still said nothing.
The moment Liu Hanxiang walked out of the yard, she saw exactly what was going on and became displeased immediately!
Li Yuanxiang had been driven out of the home! Why were they still talking with her, especially her mother! What was she still talking with Li Yuanxiang for? What if her father changed his mind and decided to get Mrs. Li back because Li Yuanxiang achieved something great? Her mother was a fool!
She hurried up and said maliciously as she looked at Li Yuanxiang, “What are you doing here?”
Before Li Yuanxiang was able to say anything, Mrs. Liu asked with a loud voice, looking rather proud, “Hanxiang, you also completed the examination. Were you accepted?”
Mrs. Liu had a very straightforward idea – if someone like Li Yuanxiang was able to make it into the college, an excellent girl like her daughter would definitely succeed as well. She had just created an opportunity for Li Yuanxiang to show off, now it was her turn!
Liu Zongyuan also showed a brief smile. “Hanxiang, How did it go? You are pretty good at horse riding and zither playing, you should not have had any difficulty in entering Saint College!” Liu Zongyuan thought exactly like Mrs. Liu. That was why he asked her the question when everyone else was watching.
However, this question made Liu Hanxiang even more annoyed. She did not make it into college! Were they humiliating her by asking her right here?!
Mrs. Liu waited for a while and saw how Liu Hanxiang mumbled. Then she realized that something was wrong.
She thought for a while and said quickly, “We can talk about this at home!”
“Liu Hanxiang did not pa.s.s the examination.” Gu Chaoyan said straightforwardly. Mrs. Liu had humiliated Yuanxiang, so she did not mind paying the humiliation back to her in this way!
