Chapter 26

A Joke. Whose Is It?

Hence, she rubbed her tummy and told Gu Liangwei with a pout. “Daddy, I’m so hungry. I haven’t had dinner. Is there anything to eat at home?”

What an exaggerated performance! Anyone would know at first glance that she was just acting cute.

Gu Liangwei could not help but feel amused.

He did not continue speaking on that topic and smiled as he stroked his daughter’s head. “Alright, alright. Let’s forget it if you don’t want to admit to it. Dad’s going to heat up some food for you.”

Gu Youli smiled and watched Gu Liangwei walk into the kitchen.

She turned to look out of the window. The night was shimmering with lights of various households around.

Boyfriend? That was the one thing she didn’t need at all after her rebirth.

Although she was very curious about that man, she was merely interested in knowing his identity and also the reason as to why she would see him at the time of her death.

Had he happened to pass by? Had he known Yang Mengshan? Or was he the man that…

There were too many possibilities!

No matter the reason, Gu Youli could not like him, much less make him her boyfriend.

In this life, she only wanted to take revenge on that sl*t and the scumbag, and not let her talent go to waste. She wanted to become an internationally renowned designer, Picasso of the jewelry industry.

However, at night, Gu Youli had the same nightmare once again. She woke up with a startling cry and sat on her bed.

At this moment, her forehead was filled with beads of perspiration and her heart was thumping so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.

But tonight’s nightmare was not the same as the previous nights. She still dreamt of the scene right before her death but at the last moment, she did not hit her head on a nail. Instead, a man caught her.

This was the same man whom she had met in the cafe.

However, his sudden appearance in her dream was even scarier than the nightmare.

She sat still for a while and calmed herself down. She told herself that it was probably because he happened to have helped her today.

She should just think of it in a good way and treat him as her savior.

In any case, she won’t see him again. Now that she had thought things through, she calmed down. Everything was going to be fine.

In the subsequent days to come, although Gu Youli would still have the same nightmare, in her dreams, the man saved her every time, and she didn’t wake up with a start again.

Slowly, the nightmares started fading away.

Towards the end of July, Yang Mengshan returned home.

She was wearing a short yellow dress with a spaghetti strap that day. The dress had an elastic waist and the skirt was flowy, making her look young and charming.

Gu Youli glanced at her and then went back to watching the television.

Gu Liangwei was not at home so Yang Mengshan didn’t bother with the pretense. She scoffed coldly at Gu Youli and dragged her luggage back into her room.

Gu Youli knew why Yang Mengshan had chosen to return today.

Tomorrow, Jingcheng University would upload the list of the accepted applicants online.

She had come back to laugh at her!

However, she did not know who would turn into a joke tomorrow.

The next day, Gu Liangwei woke the two girls up early in the morning just like the day when they had checked their results.

They waited from 8 am to 10 am but the list was not out yet.

Gu Liangwei wasn’t very anxious, at first. After all, he thought that they would definitely be accepted based on their scores.

Actually, if nothing went wrong, that would be the most likely case.

However, Yang Mengshan told him, “Dad, although the scores are important, it doesn’t guarantee acceptance. The school would look at other aspects of a student when it comes to accepting applicants so it’s quite hard to say anything for sure!”
