Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yang had scarcely stepped beyond the school’s threshold when she found herself encircled by a cluster of reporters eagerly awaiting outside the exam venue.
“Looks like we’ve got our first post-exam interviewee. Are you Gu Yang?” exclaimed one of them.
Originally tasked with interviews on the college entrance examination, the reporters were taken aback to discover Gu Yang among them.
Their initial surprise soon morphed into fervor as they thrust their microphones towards her, jostling for position amidst the growing crowd.
“Gu Yang, did you abandon the final test by leaving early?”
“Gu Yang, was your departure related to Madam Gu’s car accident?”
“Your academic record has been stellar, but will this last exam impact your prospects? Are you considering a retake next year?”
As the barrage of inquiries assaulted her, Gu Yang’s brow furrowed. Even her typically placid demeanor couldn’t stave off the rising irritation.
Her eyes swept over the throng, a chill creeping into her gaze. “Step aside, please. Thank you.”
Though the reporters persisted with their questioning, they found themselves yielding ground in the face of Gu Yang’s unwavering gaze, granting her the space she sought.
Gu Jin and Feng Jue, just arriving at the school gate, were greeted by the unexpected sight unfolding before them.
Gu Jin’s expression darkened. “Sister’s influence is becoming more pronounced…”
Feng Jue tightened his lips. “It’s a double-edged sword.”
Hurrying to Gu Yang’s side, they intervened amidst the flurry of reporters.
The journalists were taken aback by the revelation of an early exit from the examination hall.
“Isn’t that Gu Jin, the legitimate daughter of the Gu family?”
“Gu Jin, Madam Gu’s accident was in an attempt to save you. What are your thoughts on…”
“Back off,” Gu Jin’s tone sliced through the air like ice.
Gu Yang echoed her sister’s sentiment. “Show some respect. We all have mothers.”
With their departure, the hashtag #The Gu family’s daughters forfeited the college entrance examination# swiftly gained traction.
At the forefront of trending topics was #The Gu Group’s Chairman’s Wife Car Accident#.
Surveillance footage of the incident inundated the internet, sparking widespread discourse.
Despite the occasional scrutiny typical of affluent families in Jin City, the Gu family’s reputation remained relatively unscathed. Online commentary predominantly sympathized with them:
[How tragic. To have a car accident during the final leg of the college entrance exams…]
[I hope Madam Gu pulls through. Gu Yang and her sister must be devastated.]
[Wuwuwu, the situation is dire! I used to believe that affluent families lacked genuine emotions. Their displays of affection for their daughters, their seemingly close sisterly bonds—merely facades for the public eye. But witnessing Gu Jin’s protective gesture towards Gu Yang and Madam Gu’s instinctive reaction towards Gu Jin, I was profoundly moved.]
Yet, amidst the empathy, there were those who reveled in schadenfreude—
[Tsk tsk, those who sow discord will reap their own ruin. The Gu family’s downfall serves as poetic justice for their past misdeeds, doesn’t it?]
[This is precisely why humility is key. Excessive pride only invites divine retribution.]
Such remarks were swiftly countered by other netizens.
[Do you still possess any shred of compassion?]
[The Wang family’s financial woes were of their own making. Their rivalry with the Gu family was merely business as usual. If the Wangs lost and faced acquisition, whom should they blame but themselves?]
[Is it possible the Wang family orchestrated the accident?]
[Considering their history of causing harm, it wouldn’t be surprising. Even with the eldest daughter and chairman behind bars, who’s to say the rest of the Wangs wouldn’t resort to such tactics?]
[I can’t shake the feeling that there’s more to this than meets the eye. In affluent circles, car accidents like this are often anything but accidental.]
While the police investigation remained pending, cyberspace buzzed with endless speculations and conspiracy theories surrounding the incident.
