Chapter 524: Worried About the Examination
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Such emotions had always surrounded his heart, making him not confident in his results at all, causing him to look much more haggard in the past few days. He could not sleep well at night, and his dreams were filled with the disappointed expressions of his family after failing the exam.
At the thought of this, Huang Jue’s face turned even paler. He felt a lump in his throat and tears kept welling up in his eyes. His emotions broke at this moment, and his tears were like pearls that had broken strings. They fell to the ground uncontrollably. “Sister, I’m really worried that I won’t do well and won’t meet your expectations.”
Gu Man did not say anything. She just pulled Huang Jue into her arms and ma.s.saged his back. She specially pressed on his acupuncture points. In just a few seconds, Huang Jue felt that he was not as depressed as before.
He raised his head and blinked, holding back his tears. “1 don’t know what’s going on. 1 suddenly don’t want to cry.”
Gu Man’s lips curled into a confident smile. Of course, her technique was not a joke. “Alright, don’t think too much. It’s not too late to be sad after the results are out.”
Huang Jue, who had been comforted, choked on these words. The comfort in his heart instantly disappeared without a trace. “Sister, hurry up and sleep. It’s better not to be here. My heart aches when 1 see you.”
Huang Jue walked towards the bed with a depressed expression. Gu Man’s face was filled with questions, but she saw that he was in a much better mood than before. Gu Man did not stay in the room to disturb him and pulled open the door to leave.
When she went out, the lights in the living room had already been switched off. It seemed that her uncle and grandmother had already finished talking and returned to their rooms.
Gu Man also walked towards her room. It was a dreamless night.
Gu Yuan stared at the words “Mission Failed on the Dark Web” and clenched his fists indignantly.
How could it fail? That group of people was too useless. They couldn’t even capture a person and said that they were a professional team from the Dark Web. They were probably lying.
Gu Yuan’s face darkened in an instant. He held the mouse tightly, as if he wanted to crush it.
However, since the matter with the Gu family had been resolved, it proved that Gu Man was still very easy to control. As soon as Old Master Zhang made a move, she did not dare to do anything else.
There was no need to spend a lot of money to arrange for the people from the Dark Network for the next mission. His people could do it.
Gu Yuan canceled the mission on the dark web and rubbed the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows before standing up.
Qu Bei, who had just come out of the bathroom, took small steps and wrapped her arms around Gu Yuan’s waist. “Mom’s intentions are already very obvious today. Have you chosen a suitable candidate?”
Qu Bel’s fingertips gently drew circles on Gu Yuan’s chest, but her eyes were filled with calculation. Gu Man had made their family suffer so much, so how could she let her marry into a good family? It was already benevolent of her not to find a blind and crippled person.
Gu Yuan frowned when he heard Gu Man’s name. “Isn’t she related to that person from the Xiang Family?”
When Qu Bei heard this, she frowned and her face was filled with dissatisfaction. “It’s obvious that the Xiang Family is playing around. Do they really think he will choose Gu Man?”
“You can’t say that. If we really build a relationship with the Xiang Family, it will only benefit us.” A dark glint flashed across Gu Yuan’s eyes.
Qu Bei understood this logic, but she did not want to rely on Gu Man to win the power of the Xiang Family. Her eyes lit up in an instant. “Since Gu Man can seduce the Xiang Family, Rou’er can definitely do the same. Besides, Gu Man has already returned home. Isn’t it normal for the two of them to go out together?”
Gu Yuan nodded in agreement, but then he looked at Qu Bei coldly. “What do you mean by seduction? Rou’er is using her charisma to conquer him.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Qu Bei suddenly patted her head. “Look at what I’m saying. How can Rou’er seduce someone? She’s so charming herself. Which part of her isn’t better than Gu Man?”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. A plan had already formed in their hearts.
When Gu Man returned to school the next day, she went straight to the office. She naturally asked the teacher about the results..
