Chapter 300: The Eve of the Exam

Chapter 300: Chapter 300: The Eve of the Exam


But Yang Yun also knew, it’s not that easy for something to go wrong there, right? She tapped her finger on the windowsill beside her, her gaze flickering. If there’s no trouble, I can make some trouble myself. At most, I’ll just get scolded.


But this little brat better not think she’s got it good.


She turned over, got out of bed, and went to find her grandfather.


Yang Xiong felt at ease only once he knew his granddaughter wouldn’t be coming over, so he returned home. He was playing chess with an old comrade when Yang Yun arrived. His heart felt uneasy: "You’re here again?"


Yang Yun was furious inside but kept a smile on her face: "I’m here to see Grandpa. How about I have dinner with you tonight, okay?"


"I’m playing chess with Grandpa Wang. You don’t like to watch anyway, so why don’t you just go home? I’ll only cook some noodles tonight. There’s nothing good to eat. I heard from your dad that you don’t eat meals without meat. I don’t have any here."


This was a blatant attempt to drive her away.


Yang Xiong was increasingly displeased with his eldest granddaughter. Even though she had moved out, she often asked the maid from this side to go over there and work or cook. Only after a good scolding from her father did it stop. Additionally, her monthly pocket money was at least a hundred yuan, more than the living expenses of the average three-person family.


She just knows how to indulge in eating and drinking without any sense of direction, impossible to manage.


Yang Xiong initially regretted not having a grandson, but now, thinking about it, he was glad he didn’t. Raising a granddaughter at most resulted in unfilial behavior; if he had a grandson, who knows what crimes he might have committed.


Old Wang saw the tension and knew it wasn’t good; he didn’t want to be involved in the family squabble, so he smiled and said goodbye.


Seeing the guest leave, Yang Xiong told Yang Yun: "You should head home too. It’ll be dark soon. My driver has business today and can’t give you a lift."


Yang Yun smiled, suppressing her anger, and continued smiling: "Actually, I was thinking since my sister is taking an exam tomorrow, why not lend her our family driver and car? With a dedicated ride, my sister is sure to do well on the test."


Yang Xiong was taken aback and glanced at Yang Yun. Since when did this granddaughter change her nature and show acceptance towards Sun Chan?


"Do you really think this way?"


"Of course, I’m only thinking of Grandpa. You haven’t seen her for so many days, she might think you dislike her. Why not send a car for her, and after the test, we can meet up for a meal? I know I was wrong before, my mom criticized me, and I realized my mistake." She lowered her head, showing a cute and obedient demeanor.


Yang Xiong was finally pleased, smiling: "If you truly understand then Grandpa is happy to see you sisters reconcile. I’ll promise you this."


Yang Yun smiled: "Then I’ll thank you on my sister’s behalf first. That’s wonderful!"


She hugged the old man’s arm sweetly. Yang Xiong had liked this granddaughter at first, so seeing her now being sensible, he smiled.


"I’ll have my dad call her to let her know she doesn’t need to leave early; it’s too hot for that. Just take the car."


"Sure. You have a good heart."


Yang Yun flattered her grandfather, arranged the car, and then left.


Before leaving, Yang Yun told the driver: "Tomorrow when you take my sister out, don’t go too early. There’s nowhere to stay if you arrive early. Just go on time, got it?"


The driver chuckled; the young lady indeed had a bad temper, talking as if giving orders to a servant.


Yang Yun glanced at him disdainfully, and arrogantly walked away.


As she approached the car, she chuckled to herself, "I’ll make sure you can’t catch the exam on time; let’s see what you do about it."


That night, Sun Chan prepared everything and prepared to rest.


Just then, Father Yang personally came by. Seeing him, Sun Chan was startled: "Why did you come?"


Father Yang smiled: "I’m here to tell you, tomorrow during the exam, our family driver will come to pick you up. Just wait at home, no need to worry."


Sun Chan was truly surprised: "How did you..."


"It’s alright, you’re our daughter, it’s our duty to take care of you. Here, take this for your exam tomorrow." It turned out to be a towel and a pencil case containing a few sharpened pencils.


Though surprised, Sun Chan accepted them with a smile: "Thank you." She actually felt awkward, unsure how to speak familiarly with her father.


"Don’t mention it. Anyway, tomorrow, I’ll send you." He waved goodbye to Sun Chan as he left.


Returning downstairs, meeting Yang Yun, Father Yang smiled. This daughter was really understanding.


Yang Yun smiled and asked: "You didn’t mention me just now, right?"


"No! I know you want to surprise your sister; how could I let your plan fail? Let’s go."


"Hmm, let’s go." Yang Yun cheerfully leaned against her father’s shoulder.


Zhao Jieyun knew about Yang Yun’s plan for tomorrow and was also glad she was finally being sensible.


The next morning, Sun Chan woke up early. Wang Shufen had prepared fried eggs with rice for her on the table.


"Eat this; keep it simple. After the exam, you can eat well."


Wang Shufen was worried Sun Chan might upset her stomach or drink too much water, and then needing the restroom too frequently during the exam would be troublesome.


Sun Chan understood her concern and smiled in thanks, eating heartily.


Then she reviewed her books a bit for a last-minute revision.


Gu Junming was by her side, not saying much, until seven-thirty when he frowned: "Why isn’t anyone here yet? The exam starts at eight-thirty, you need to enter the examination hall twenty minutes early. It’s getting late now."


"Maybe they think driving is quicker?" Wang Shufen suggested.


"That’s not good. You shouldn’t leave it to the last minute. Who knows what might happen, like traffic jams or other unexpected situations. We can’t wait any longer. I’ll take you there by bus." Gu Junming took up a bag.


Sun Chan hesitated: "But it’s rare for my father to want to help me; wouldn’t I be disrespecting him if I don’t wait and he ends up coming in vain..."


"Sun Chan, nothing’s more important than the exam. Even if your father finds out, he won’t be angry."


Sun Chan was still conflicted but seeing that it was already seven-forty and no one had come yet.


Gu Junming couldn’t sit still: "It’s not about not giving respect; it’s about running out of time."


He resolutely pulled Sun Chan out.


They planned to take a bus, but waiting at the bus stop, no bus came. Seeing so many people there, Sun Chan started to panic.


"Am I really going to be late?"


"That’s how buses are." Gu Junming was also in a rush; the Yang Family’s arrangements really were unreliable!


They tried hailing a taxi, but in those days taxis were already scarce, compounded with people rushing due to exams today, making it impossible to catch one. Sun Chan watched as the time ticked away on the wristwatch, sweating profusely in anxiety.
