【014】 Gu Juan's counterattack
Gu Xiangfu and Liu Guofang were talking in low voices, as if they didn't notice anything unusual around them.
Gu Haojie never hid his dislike for Gu Juan. He used to dislike him because he was an orphan, always gloomy and like a ghost. Then, for some reason, Gu Juan suddenly became more confident and handsome, but this only made him dislike him even more. Why did this orphan get so much attention?
"Hey!" Liu Guang sneered as he stood next to Gu Juan, afraid that Gu Haojie wouldn't be able to tell that he was laughing at him. He squinted his eyes at Gu Haojie, and the corners of his mouth turned down in disdain. Liu Guang and Gu Juan had always had a good relationship. In March, Gu Juan gave him a cup of medicine made with a secret recipe every morning. He was full of energy every day, his memory gradually improved, and he became more confident in his studies. He often worked hard with Gu Juan and made great progress. In addition, Gu Juan actually guessed the Chinese composition topic correctly. He felt very good about this exam, and it was all thanks to Gu Juan. Therefore, Liu Guang protected Gu Juan even more, and when he saw Gu Haojie making things difficult for Gu Juan, he stood on his side without hesitation.
Gu Haojie looked down at Liu Guang with a sullen face, not disguising the sneer in his eyes. "What are you laughing at? Are you an elementary school student? How did you get in here?"
Although Liu Guang was shorter than Gu Haojie, he was no less imposing. He crossed his arms over his chest and spoke in a booming voice, "I know you are Juanzi's cousin, Gu Haojie. If I remember correctly, you were ranked at the bottom of the grade in several monthly exams. Are you sure your answers are reliable?"
The eyes of the candidates fell on Gu Haojie again, and some of them burst into laughter, looking at Gu Haojie with a hint of disapproval.
Gu Haojie's eyes were filled with sinister intent, his neck stiffened, and he sneered, "How dare you show off your cheated grades?"
The surrounding students looked at Gu Juan with suspicion and contempt, whispering to each other.
Liu Guang was furious, clenched his fists, and glared at Gu Haojie, "What did you say!"
Xi Lang saw the situation opposite clearly. His gaze slid towards the silent young man. Seeing the indifference in his eyes, a barely perceptible interest flashed in his pupils.
"Uncle, let me go over and take a look!" The tall and thin boy ran over excitedly to join in the fun.
"What? You have nothing to say?" Gu Haojie patted Gu Juan's shoulder and leaned close to his ear, his face showing concern, but his tone was full of sarcasm. "If I were you, I would have slipped away long ago when there were so many people around. Haha."
"You!" Liu Guang just wanted to punch him in the face.
Gu Juan held his shoulders and looked at Gu Haojie with emotionless eyes, his dark pupils like an icy pond, and then he glanced at Xi Lang.
Xi Lang couldn't help but wonder if the child was asking him for help, so he took a step forward with his right foot.
Gu Juan whispered something in Liu Guang's ear.
A light flashed in Liu Guang's eyes. While Gu Haojie was not paying attention, he squeezed out of the crowd and came in front of Xi Lang.
Gu Juan remained silent, and Gu Haojie assumed she was afraid. "Why would you bother? Even if you managed to get into the top three in the monthly exam, what good would that do? It would be so embarrassing if you couldn't even get into a third-rate university."
"You seem very confident. Are Imperial Capital University and Huaqing University your targets?" Gu Juan asked Gu Haojie calmly, a sharp glint gleaming in his cold eyes. Even clay figures have tempers. He'd been bullied by Gu Haojie before, but now that he had the confidence, Gu Juan wasn't going to tolerate him any longer. When dealing with an opponent, he either avoided it or confronted it head-on, aiming for a sure win.
Gu Juan didn't actually hold out much hope for Xi Lang to help him. He and Xi Lang had only met a few times, and their relationship wasn't particularly pleasant. However, even if Xi Lang wasn't willing to help, he had other ways to make Gu Haojie stumble.
"Of course!" Gu Haojie was very confident. "I'm not afraid to tell you, apart from the English and Chinese essays, there's only one big math question I'm unsure of."
Liu Guofang, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation, suddenly felt her heart pounding, thinking her son's words were too much. She quietly pulled Gu Haojie's arm, but he shook it off forcefully.
Gu Xiangfu didn't notice and nodded in agreement with Gu Haojie, his face flushed, as if Gu Haojie had already been admitted to a prestigious school, "Son, Dad believes in you!"
Gu Juan glanced at Gu Xiangfu with a smile in his eyes and asked uncertainly, "In other words, you are confident that you can score above 720 points..."
Gu Haojie could tell from his expression that he lacked confidence. In a fit of rage, he shouted, "Of course!" He paused and added, "Regardless of whether I can score above 720, I'll always do better than you. Gu Juan, you were always at the bottom of the class in your freshman and sophomore years, but your grades suddenly improved so much in the October monthly exam. Even Liu Xiang couldn't run faster than you. Only you know whether you cheated or not. Unless you have an extra brain and cerebellum, you do have a chance of getting above 700, hehe..."
Gu Juan frowned, with a patient expression, "You and I are not in the same class, so how do you know if I have worked hard? Gu Haojie, you are going too far. It's okay for you to insult me, but you shouldn't insult the invigilator of the monthly exam!"
Xi Lang kept looking at Gu Juan, as if thinking about something.
Gu Haojie was already getting carried away. "If they really had been invigilating seriously, you wouldn't have gotten such a good score. Come on, I don't want to waste any more words with you. Let's just wait for the results. If you get angry with Teacher Xie and he gets hurt, you'll be in big trouble."
Gu Juan frowned, with a hint of worry and nervousness in his eyes.
Gu Haojie became more and more proud and raised his head, "Dad, Mom, let's go."
Gu Juan looked at Liu Guang, and Liu Guang smiled and waved the phone in his hand at him.
The students who were watching gradually dispersed when they saw that there was nothing exciting to watch.
Gu Juan walked up to Xi Lang and said, "Xi Lang, thank you. I'd also like to ask you to send me the video."
Xi Lang always seemed to look at Gu Juan with disapproval in his eyes.
"You want to upload the video online? Leave some space for us so we can meet again in the future. You shouldn't—"
Gu Juan's chest suddenly erupted in anger, and he interrupted him coldly, "You like preaching so much, why don't you persuade him to leave me a way out?"
Liu Guang also said: "Yes. Brother Xi, Gu Haojie is Juanzi's cousin, but he often targets him..."
Gu Juan glanced at him, and he shrugged, wiping his fingers across his lips as if zipping up his pants.
Xi Lang was speechless for a moment, even he himself was puzzled as to why he always wanted to correct Gu Juan's words and actions. Logically speaking, they were not even acquaintances, at most they were just acquaintances.
He changed the subject, "I've helped you so much, shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"
Gu Juan was still annoyed by what he had said before. She stared at him for a few seconds, took two steps closer, raised her arm and hooked it around his shoulders, and whispered with a smile on her lips, "Have you explained the last incident clearly to your family?"
Xi Lang's expression and body froze at the same time.
Gu Juan suddenly felt that the way this person's expression changed was quite interesting. He was in a good mood, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his eyes, and the anger in his heart was extinguished.
The tall and thin boy stared at the intimate behavior of the two people, stunned.
Liu Guang didn't understand what Gu Juan and Xi Lang were talking about, so he didn't say anything.
Gu Juan released his arm and said, "Send the video to me as soon as possible. I'll treat you to a meal some other day."
