 Chapter 32: Whose Child Is That, Quite Interesting

Gu Zhao took the test paper and lowered his head to see the handwriting, which was so ugly that he couldn't bear to look at it.

Ignoring this, he carefully read through the test paper.

After a moment, he took a sharp breath and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

She actually got everything right.

Recalling her previous calmness and composure, Gu Zhao suddenly realized.

It turned out that she didn't treat the exam as a child's play, but rather as a sure victory. He had underestimated her.

"Third Young Master, it would be a pity if student Gu doesn't enter the S class with her grades. She insists on going to the class C. Can you persuade her?" Principal Zhang said.

Gu Zhao raised his head from the test paper and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Qingning wants to go to the C class?"

Principal Zhang nodded. "You also know that the S class is the top class in the third year. With her grades, she is guaranteed to enter A University."

Gu Zhao frowned, becoming even more confused.

What is Qingning up to? Giving up the S class to go to the C class, what is she thinking?

...

In the afternoon, the scattered golden rays carried a warm feeling.

After the peak lunchtime, several stalls on the street corner were deserted.

"Here it is, your spicy hot pot."

The stall owner was a middle-aged woman dressed modestly. She had a cheerful smile on her face, making people feel close to her.

Gu Qingning looked at the spicy hot pot placed on the table. It was a large bowl, filled with generous ingredients.

The surface was covered in a layer of chili oil, and it looked extremely spicy just by looking at it.

She thanked the woman and reached for the disposable chopsticks and spoon.

The woman stayed in place and asked in a friendly tone, "Little girl, you seem young. Shouldn't you be in school?"

Gu Qingning took a light sip of the soup, feeling a spicy sensation on her tongue.

It was fragrant and spicy, strangely addictive.

She nodded and said, without raising her head, "I had an exam today, so there's no afternoon class."

Upon hearing this, the woman smiled with relief. "So it was an exam. Take your time eating, and if you need anything, just let me know."

After speaking, the woman turned around to attend to other customers.

Basking in the sun, Gu Qingning leisurely enjoyed the spicy hot pot, feeling content and carefree.

After a while, she put down her chopsticks, leaving only a bit of soup in the bowl.

She took out two tissues and wiped her mouth, then got up to pay.

After paying, she turned around and walked to the roadside, and the car she had booked online happened to arrive.

She got into the car and raised her hand to push down her hat brim, stating the address, "Fumao Shopping Center."

"Okay." The driver started the car and drove off.

Fumao Shopping Center was the largest mall in City A, offering various amenities.

Even on weekdays, there was still a large flow of people here.

Gu Qingning stood in front of the floor guide board. With her poor sense of direction, she carefully checked the route.

She only had a backpack on her, without even a change of clothes. Before moving to the dormitory, she needed to do some major shopping.

The clothing section was on the third floor. Before heading up, she bought a suitcase downstairs.

Gu Qingning casually entered a clothing store, her exquisite appearance attracting many admiring glances as soon as she walked in.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" a saleswoman smiled and asked.

Gu Qingning nodded slightly and pushed the suitcase to her feet. "Could you please look after this for a few minutes?"

The saleswoman was caught off guard and by the time she reacted, Gu Qingning had already started picking clothes.

She picked clothes at a fast pace, and in less than ten minutes, she had already made her selection.

She placed the clothes on the checkout counter and took out her card from her pocket, glancing at the saleswoman. "These are the ones, please charge my card."

The saleswoman's smile widened, and she hurriedly brought the suitcase over.

These clothes were enough to cover her commission for over a month.

"Please wait a moment."

After completing the purchase, Gu Qingning took back her card and said, "Just put the clothes in the suitcase. I'll come and pick them up later."

The saleswoman was taken aback, but then smiled and said, "Okay."

After she escorted Gu Qingning away, the saleswomen started discussing excitedly.

"Did you see her? Her looks are too stunning. Oh my, her skin is flawless, it's simply unbelievable."

"The key is that she's not wearing any makeup. How can we, who take care of ourselves every day, compare?"

"She could make a living just based on her face. If she participates in a talent show, she's guaranteed to become the main attraction."

The more they talked, the more intense the discussion became, and some people became envious.

"Maybe she had plastic surgery, what's there to envy?"

"She does look like it. Who has such good looks naturally?"

Amidst the chatter, Gu Qingning returned. She held two black paper bags in her hands.

She didn't expect to come back so soon, and the saleswoman quickly folded the clothes.

"I'm really sorry, could you wait a little longer?"

Gu Qingning calmly said, "It's alright, I'll do it myself."

As she spoke, she reached out and picked up the remaining clothes, stuffing them all into the suitcase. She also threw the paper bags in.

With a zip sound, she finished her actions, leaving the saleswoman stunned.

"..."

When the saleswoman snapped out of her daze, Gu Qingning had already grabbed the suitcase and left.

She arrived on the second floor.

With her terrible sense of direction, she almost got lost and had to wander around before finding the department store.

She left the suitcase outside and pushed a shopping cart inside.

She didn't miss anything when it came to daily necessities, snacks, and fruits.

Suddenly, a small figure rushed out from the corner and clumsily bumped into her leg.

"Ouch."

A clear and melodious voice, childish and sweet.

Gu Qingning lowered her head and realized it was a little boy.

She bent down, reached out, and pulled him up.

"Did you get hurt?" Her cold voice softened a bit.

The little boy stood up, patted his bottom, and with a self-important tone, said, "Auntie, you..."

In an instant, the little boy's eyebrows relaxed, and he quickly changed his tone. "Beautiful sister, I'm fine. It's Hengheng who ran too fast and didn't look where he was going, so he bumped into the beautiful sister."

With a sweet milky voice, he repeatedly called her "beautiful sister," coupled with a brilliant smile, contrasting with his previous self-important attitude. It was like two completely different people.

His change of demeanor was too quick.

Gu Qingning chuckled. The little guy knew how to judge people quickly.
