Chapter 109: The Academic Prodigy's Dark Moonlight (20)

After a while, Chu Yanran realized that Liu Yayue hadn't paid the bill at all. She had deliberately chosen the most expensive coffee shop, and Liu Yayue had also ordered several desserts. Chu Yanran thought that Liu Yayue would pay the bill, so she also ordered quite a lot.

When it came time to pay, it cost nearly a thousand.

It hurts so much.

After paying the bill, Chu Yanran took out her phone, which had been recording audio the whole time.

Wen Wan, who had left the coffee shop, did not leave and witnessed Chu Yanran's outburst.

"Trying to rip me off? Dream on."

Even if it's just a cup of coffee, Chu Yanran won't be able to take advantage of me.

Are you sure she really recorded it?

System: [Of course, she will definitely hand the recording over to Gu Sheng. Host, you can go abroad now. In six months, the Liu family's business will run into problems and go bankrupt. Then you just wait a few years until the male lead becomes successful, and then you go and complete the face-slapping mission by paying him off. Finally, I'll find you a reason to fake your death. That should be enough for your role.]

"What about Gu Sheng?"

[Of course, it's about achieving success in both career and love.]

Wen Yan: "..."

This should be a happy thing, but Wen Wan just felt a little heartbroken.

...

Gu Sheng originally thought that Liu Yayue would contact him after returning, but she didn't.

If Gu Sheng were a teenager, he would take the initiative to go back to her, but Gu Sheng in his forties would not. He fills his entire life with work, and Mengxin Technology's new project has also begun, with a lot of things waiting for him every day.

Only in his spare time at night would Gu Sheng stare at his phone in deep thought.

Several times she pressed the dial button but the call didn't go through. Even Grandma Gu asked her several times why Liu Yayue didn't come to visit, and Gu Sheng could only answer that she was busy.

What are you busy with?

There wasn't even a message.

"Brother, it's my birthday in a few days. Can you call and ask my sister to come celebrate with me?" Gu Shuyun's birthday was coming up, and she hoped her sister could come too. But as soon as she ran up to her brother and said this, she saw him smile and say, "I'll call and ask."

Gu Shuyun: "???"

Why does it feel like her brother was just waiting for her to say that?

The call still didn't go through. Gu Shuyun asked, "Is my sister busy? Why don't we go to her house?"

When they arrived at the Liu family's house, Aunt Liu saw the two of them.

"Xiao Gu, is Xiao Shuyun here?"

"Aunt Liu, is my sister home?"

"No, Miss went abroad for a couple of days ago and probably won't be back for a while. Why didn't you tell Xiao Gu?" Liu Yu said. Miss and Xiao Gu are such good friends, how come she didn't even tell Xiao Gu that she went abroad?

"You went abroad for a trip? I was hoping to invite my sister to celebrate my birthday with me. What a pity." Xiao Shuyun sighed. She only celebrates her birthday once a year, and she even wanted to sleep with her sister.

"Let's go," Gu Sheng said coldly. How could he not understand now that this person was deliberately avoiding him? But why? Everything was fine before, so why did things suddenly change?

"Brother, do you miss sister too?"

"No."

“You have it, and you’re unhappy again.”

"No."

"..."

Soon it was time for the college entrance exam results to be released, but Liu Yayue still hadn't contacted Gu Sheng for no reason. Grandma Gu and Xiao Shuyun were both very nervous. "My dear child, we can see your score on this computer!"

"Um."

Gu Sheng entered her exam number. There were too many people checking their scores online, and the network was a bit slow, but after a few tries, she finally found her score.

713 points.

As he expected.

Grandma Gu and Xiao Shuyun were both very happy. Grandma Gu patted Gu Sheng's head and said, "My son is so amazing. This deserves to be celebrated. This definitely deserves to be celebrated."

"Brother is so great, brother is so great..."

At the same time, the homeroom teacher called, and Gu Sheng answered, "Gu Sheng, have you seen the grades?" The homeroom teacher sounded very happy.

"I saw it."

"Congratulations! You've become the top scorer in the province's college entrance examination. You've brought honor to our school and to me, your teacher."

"Thank you, teacher. I'd like to ask, do you know Liu Yayue's grades?"

"Ya Yue's grades, didn't she tell you? You two are so close. Let me see. Ya Yue did quite well on the exam this time, she should be able to get into a top-tier university. 521 points, that's great. What schools are you planning to apply to?"

"University A".

"That's great, you should definitely celebrate this time."

After the homeroom teacher hung up the phone, Grandma Gu and Xiao Shuyun were overjoyed, but Gu Sheng still felt uneasy. It was clearly Liu Yayue who abandoned him, so why did he still want to call and ask?

This sycophantic behavior must have been influenced by Gu Sheng, who was seventeen or eighteen years old.

"What score did the teacher say Xiaoyue got on the test?"

Gu Sheng answered her grandmother's question, and her grandmother smiled and said, "Xiaoyue also did well on the exam. Why don't we invite Xiaoyue over to celebrate together? Let's buy more of Xiaoyue's favorite dishes."

Gu Sheng: "She probably won't come."

Grandma Gu was puzzled. "Why? Did you two have a fight? Or did you make Xiaoyue angry?" Grandma Gu patted Gu Sheng's chest. "What did I tell you? Xiaoyue is our family's benefactor. I told you not to bully her or make her angry. Did you bully her?"

Gu Sheng: "I didn't."

Afterwards, Gu Sheng applied to the Computer Science Department of University A, and his admission was a sure thing. The No. 1 High School put up a big banner for him, gave him a bonus of 30,000 yuan, and even gave him a TV interview. Everything was developing according to Gu Sheng's expectations. In his life, he did not miss the college entrance examination and was admitted to the school he had always dreamed of.

However, Liu Yayue still did not appear.

It was only through the homeroom teacher that Gu Sheng learned that Liu Yayue had gone abroad to study.

When he didn't want to ask, the other party didn't want to contact him either. At this time, he also met Chu Yanran. Chu Yanran smiled at Gu Sheng and said, "Gu, you are the top scorer in the college entrance examination this time. You are really amazing. Maybe we will be alumni in the future."

She originally had good grades and got into University A, but she barely made it in, and it's unknown which major she'll be assigned to.

Gu Sheng nodded and was about to leave when Chu Yanran immediately said, "Gu, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

"I don't want to hear it."

Chu Yanran: "..."

As always, he was cold. Chu Yanran felt a little wronged. "Gu, I've always liked you. Why can't you be nicer to me?" Chu Yanran had never told anyone that she had confessed to Gu Sheng before. She really did like Gu Sheng, after all, he was handsome and had good grades.

She was rejected, and after that, she learned about Gu Sheng's family situation, so she comforted herself by thinking that Gu Sheng was not good enough for her. So, when she asked Liu Yayue to pursue Gu Sheng, she was also hoping to see a show.

Gu Sheng was extremely annoyed by this person; he didn't even want to listen to him speak.

"I don't like you, I have other things to do."

Chu Yanran grabbed Gu Sheng's sleeve, but Gu Sheng pushed her away. Chu Yanran frowned, thinking that Gu Sheng was really ungrateful. "What I want to tell you is about Liu Yayue. Don't you want to hear it?"

Gu Sheng looked at Chu Yanran with a cold expression, but did not leave.

Chu Yanran took out her phone and played the recording for Gu Sheng. After listening, Chu Yanran looked at Gu Sheng and said, "I feel very guilty. I have never told you the truth. In fact, Yueyue only pursued you because she lost a game with us. She didn't like you at all. I wanted to tell you, but I am her friend. I am really sorry."

Gu Sheng: "..."
