The bodyguard was filled with regret. She wished she hadn’t spoken out of turn about her distant relative’s affairs.

However, it was too late for regrets. Steeling herself, she said, “Yes, he’s my cousin. He’s been working at the Guangcheng Daily for many years, slowly climbing the ranks. Technically, Gu Zi doesn’t meet the hiring requirements for a full-time employee at the newspaper. She probably got in through connections.”

Hu Jie withdrew her gaze, falling silent for a while before speaking again. “If she got in through connections, then it should be thoroughly investigated. The Guangcheng Daily isn’t just any local newspaper. They can’t let just anyone in and risk damaging their reputation. When the time comes, arrange a meeting with your cousin for me…”

The next day, Gu Zi woke up early. However, when she came downstairs, she saw that Su Bing and Su Li were already dressed and ready. She realized that the two boys were even more eager than she was. Their attitudes were commendable, but then again, the entrance examination was a significant event for them. They had to take their affairs seriously.

Su Li got up from his chair and did a little twirl in front of Gu Zi, showing off his outfit for the day. He wore a neat little suit, paired with loose-fitting jeans that revealed a bit of his ankles. On his feet were a pair of white shoes. The mixed style surprisingly gave off a handsome vibe. Gu Zi praised him, “You look great today, very handsome. But won’t your ankles get cold like this?”

Su Li beamed, replying, “Of course not, Mom. I consulted with Gao Ming, our neighbor, about this outfit. He said that even though he can’t take the exam with us today, he’ll be cheering for us in his heart! I’m not cold at all. I want to go to school looking cool.”

Understanding his feelings, Gu Zi didn’t insist on him wearing long socks. It was only for a short while, and if he felt cold later, he could change into long socks when he got home.

Gao Ming had caught a severe cold just before the entrance exam and couldn’t attend as planned. However, when Gu Zi ran into Gao Ming’s grandmother the previous day, she mentioned that the school would send the exam papers to their home. Gu Zi was slightly surprised; the Gao family was indeed extraordinary.

Gao Ming’s grandmother even kindly offered to have the school send Su Bing and Su Li’s exam papers to their home as well, so all three children could take the exam at home and save the trouble of going to school. Gu Zi, however, declined. She wanted her sons to experience the exam atmosphere.

After breakfast, Gu Zi and the children set off for school. Little Su Le was still asleep, so Gu Zi carried her next door and asked Gao Ming’s grandmother to look after her for the morning.

Gao Ming’s grandmother loved children, especially the well-behaved Su Le. She offered to help look after the little girl, suggesting that she should sleep a little longer.

Inside the Gao family’s living room, Su Le slept peacefully in the rocking crib that Gao Ming had used as a child. Her sleeping face was sweet.

Gao Ming watched Su Le adoringly and said sincerely, “Grandma, Su Le looks so pretty. Is it because Aunt Gu Zi is beautiful, so Su Le is beautiful too? Will Su Le grow up to be as pretty as Aunt Gu Zi?”

Gao Ming’s grandmother pulled her sick grandson away from Su Le and tucked her in, mulling over her words. She knew some things.

Gu Zi’s husband was a divorcee, and the three children were not Gu Zi’s biological children. But wasn’t it said that children would resemble the person who raised them?

Holding onto this belief, Gao Ming’s grandmother confidently replied to her grandson, “Of course she will. Now, stay away so you don’t infect Su Le.”

At the school, Su Bing and Su Li were a little apprehensive as they stepped into the campus for the first time. They looked at the towering buildings, each with four or five floors, and the numerous classrooms on each floor. The sight of so many students and teachers coming and going was overwhelming.

Their mother had told them that the school practiced individualized teaching, with a maximum of twenty-five students per class. But with nearly a thousand students in the school, each grade level would have to be divided into many classes. No wonder there were so many classrooms; any fewer wouldn’t be enough.

Su Bing and Su Li separated on the second floor, each needing to find their examination room according to the number they had received. Su Bing assured his mother that he could find his way, and indeed, not long after parting with his younger brother, he entered his examination room, his mindset stable.

Gu Zi accompanied Su Li to find his examination room. With her help, Su Li quickly found his room. As he sat down at his desk, his shoulders trembled slightly. But when he looked up and saw his mother’s encouraging smile, he remembered her words.
