Counterattack, Giving Yourself Away

Yang Mengshan was elated on the inside.

She immediately put on a sorrowful and helpless look like Gu Liangwei. “Sis, how can you be so careless? Dad was worried sick for this college entrance exam. Look at how much you’ve angered him.”

There was no doubt that she was trying to add fuel to the fire and make Gu Liangwei even angrier.

He almost couldn’t breathe and swayed slightly, as though he was about to faint.

Gu Youli’s pupils shrunk a little. She rushed ahead to support Gu Liangwei and said in a voice as refreshing as spring water, “Dad, I managed to apply for a temporary exam admission ticket.”

When he heard that, Gu Liangwei held his breath and stared wide-eyed at her.

There was happiness in his eyes along with surprise. “Youli, do you mean to say that you managed to take the college entrance exam?”

“What? Y… you applied for a temporary exam admission ticket?” Yang Mengshan stared at her in shock.

How is that possible? She had taken Gu Youli to the canteen deliberately to waste time.

Post that, it was too late to apply for the temporary exam admission ticket. It was impossible for her to have gotten it.

No, Gu Youli must be lying.

She must have said so because she was afraid that Daddy would hit her.

Yang Mengshan looked at Gu Youli with anger and spoke in a disappointed voice, “Sis, this isn’t nice. If you didn’t take the college entrance exam, and won’t make it to the university, you can still do something else but it’s horribly wrong to lie to Daddy.”

Gu Youli captured every change in her sister’s facial expressions.

She walked towards Yang Mengshan and asked her softly. “Why are you so certain that I am lying?”

For some unknown reason, Yang Mengshan’s heart started to gallop, uncomfortably.

Something seemed to be amiss. Did Gu Youli really apply for the temporary exam admission ticket?

Yang Mengshan smiled but it was a weak smile. “Sis, I just thought…”

Gu Youli’s lips curled up into a mirthless smile, “You thought that I was chased out of the exam venue by the invigilator and wasn’t allowed to take the exam.”

Yang Mengshan felt a chill down her spine and because of her guilt, she subconsciously raised her voice, “Sis, how can you say that?”

Gu Youli looked straight into her eyes, calmly but her gaze was exceptionally sharp and cold. “You should know better than anyone else why I said that, right?”

“Sis, what’s wrong with you? Forget the fact that you’ve suddenly become so cold towards me, you are now even maligning me.” Yang Mengshan pouted pitifully as she retorted.

At the same time, tears welled up in her eyes. The glistening tears made her look frail and pathetic.

The three of them had already attracted quite a lot of gazes around them because of what happened just now.

Now that Yang Mengshan looked so upset, she invited even more sympathetic gazes from countless men.

However, to Gu Youli, the whole episode was laughable.

What a white lotus, crying even before she said anything.

In this situation, no matter what she said, Gu Liangwei and everyone else would think that she was bullying Yang Mengshan for no reason.

She wants to get away with this act but I won’t let her.

Gu Youli blinked innocently and asked in confusion, “Malign you? When did I do that? What kind of scene are you trying to create by crying like this?”

Now that Gu Youli said it, even if Yang Mengshan wanted to continue crying, she would have to suck the tears back in again.

Her face was pale and she said in a grieving tone, “You accused me of throwing your exam admission ticket away!”

The corners of Gu Youli’s mouth curled up coldly and she scoffed. “I never said that I lost my exam ticket and I didn’t say that you were the one who threw it away. I just said that you know very clearly what you did and immediately, you said that I’m maligning you. This is called giving yourself away.”
