Chapter 422: Chapter 422: The Child Who Performs the Best Can Inherit This
Gu Shiyin’s words, "You’re very hopeful," indeed gave Gu Pinting confidence.
Maybe she is the one who achieved outstanding results?
If Nangong Meng were still around, perhaps there would be someone to compete with her, but it’s said that Nangong Meng didn’t even take the college entrance exam, so looking around the whole Imperial High School, there’s no one else to contend with her.
The college entrance exam results inquiry channels crashed, and it stayed down for an hour.
Because he was concerned about the children’s scores, Mr. Gu couldn’t enjoy his meal and kept asking Gu Xizhi and Gu Pingzhi to refresh the page and make phone calls from time to time.
Suddenly.
Gu Pingzhi stood up dramatically at the third table: "Dad, they announced the highest score of this year’s college entrance exam online! Ahhhh, this perfect score must be my daughter!"
Everyone was shocked: "A perfect score on the college entrance exam? Unprecedented. Is your Pinting really that good?"
Mr. Gu was very cautious: "Is it officially announced?"
Gu Pingzhi: "Ahem, it’s a hot search on Weibo, revealed by a reporter. But this reporter is impressive, the type that chases big news!"
Sun Jiao happily chimed in: "Dad, it must be Pinting, Pinting has always been number one in her school, and Imperial High School is the top school in the country, no one else could achieve such an impressive score—creak!"
Thinking about her daughter achieving such an impressive score, even a mouse’s squeak seemed pleasing to Sun Jiao.
Mr. Gu shook his head at this: "Weibo, that place filled with entertainment gossip, isn’t reliable."
Gu Shiyin softly interjected: "Dad, have you forgotten? The news about Big Brother acknowledging Zuzi as part of the Gu Family was first posted on Weibo. There are authoritative messages on Weibo too. Look, previously none of our siblings paid attention to Weibo and almost missed knowing about Zuzi, our niece."
She had just checked when Mr. Gu acknowledged Xi Zuzi, only to find out recently the news about the real and fake daughter of the Xi family made it to hot search.
Unfortunately, she was developing a new drug in the lab at the time and missed such explosive news related closely to their interests.
Gu Shiyin’s "well-meaning" reminder using the example of Xi Zuzi indeed successfully convinced Mr. Gu.
"Shiyin makes a good point. Weibo’s information doesn’t seem baseless," Mr. Gu pondered, "If a child from the Gu Family really achieved such an amazing score..."
He took out a cherished jade button from his pocket, his face showing kindness: "The jade button passed down in our Gu Family, will be given to her as a reward."
All the Gu family children held their breath.
Though the inheritance rights of the Gu Family weren’t necessarily tied to the jade button, it was something Mr. Gu kept close and seldom showed to others.
If someone could obtain this jade button, they’d have at least half a hold on the position of heir.
"Dad, there’s more news about the college entrance exam on the hot search! It says the reason for the delayed score announcement is an error found in a comprehensive question, and they’re recalculating the scores urgently!" Gu Pingzhi shouted while refreshing his phone.
Gu Pinting, full of confidence: "The comprehensive exams are my strong suit, it won’t be wrong for me!"
Xi Rubao was not to be outdone: "We aimed for a perfect score in the comprehensive exams, right, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Jingyan: "..." You guys didn’t tell me about the bet, how would I know?
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but glance at Xi Zuzi resentfully.
Xi Zuzi was busy playing with her smartwatch, ignoring them.
Bao Gucheng resent the screenshot of the corrected scores to her: "Miss Zuzi, is this right now?"
