Chapter 749: Best Birthday Gift

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yang’s excitement bubbled over, and she grinned. “To elicit such excitement from the principals, I could only anticipate the best.”

It was no surprise to her that Big Shot Sister and Little Blood Bank would achieve perfect scores. After all, they were both academic prodigies. For them, the College Entrance Examination was like child’s play.

Leading up to the exam, Big Shot Sister and Little Blood Bank had helped her identify any weaknesses while she worked diligently to improve. Her goal was nothing short of perfection.

Following the exam, she had a good sense of her performance, with the only uncertainty lying in her Chinese essay score.

She had never achieved a perfect score in her Chinese essays before. However, this time, she felt optimistic.

The essay topic revolved around Chinese literature and ancient poetry, which, upon examination, revealed a theme of patriotism.

Principal Huang regarded Gu Yang and her siblings with admiration. “Indeed, all three of you scored a perfect 750 on the College Entrance Examination. While there have been individuals who achieved full marks in Chinese history, having three simultaneously accomplish this feat is unprecedented!”

Principal Li couldn’t help but sigh in amazement. “What’s truly remarkable is that all three perfect scores come from the same family.”

When they learned about the Gu family in Jin City, the principals at the table reacted swiftly, realizing that the target they sought to recruit was present at the banquet. Tension gradually permeated the atmosphere.

However, the second branch of the Gu family and Old Madam Gu continued their conversation. They couldn’t afford to appear overly eager at someone else’s celebration.

But with the principals of Capital University and Hua University mobilized, they cared little for decorum.

Three perfect scores—such an achievement was unprecedented!

The revelation sent shockwaves through the banquet hall. Both the adult and children’s tables erupted into chatter.

“Am I hearing things? Three perfect scores?!”

“Did I just witness history at a birthday banquet?”

“Wait, didn’t they say they didn’t do well? How can they score 750 if they didn’t perform well?”

“Maybe the Study Goddess only scored 750 because that was the maximum possible score?”

“I was too full of myself. I couldn’t even reach 600 points, and now I feel like Gu Shuxue, who scored 710 points, has been instantly overshadowed.”

For a moment, the Gu family’s main table stole the spotlight, becoming the center of attention.

At the head table, Old Master Gu, Gu Hongwei, displayed visible surprise, not displeasure, at the turn of events.

Other VIPs at the main table extended their congratulations to Gu Hongwei.

“Old Master Gu’s grandchildren are truly remarkable!”

“Old Master Gu is truly blessed!”

Gu Hongwei rose from his seat, thanking everyone for their well wishes. His face radiated joy. “Excellent, excellent! Hahaha, the achievements of these three grandchildren are the best birthday present I could have asked for today.”

In that moment, Gu Hongwei didn’t concern himself with whether Gu Yang and Feng Jue were blood relatives of the Gu family. In his eldest son’s household registry, they were all Gu family members, his grandchildren!

The fact that his three grandsons achieved perfect scores in the College Entrance Examination promised to elevate the reputation of the Gu family. It signified a bright future for the younger generation of the Gu family!

The fifth elder was also pleasantly surprised, on the verge of tears from excitement. He patted Gu Zhaoming’s shoulder affectionately. “Well done, Zhaoming. Your children are truly diligent!”

In this moment, Gu Zhaoming himself was left dumbfounded.

Three perfect scores?! It was beyond anything he could have imagined!

He had anticipated that his children would achieve commendable results, possibly even surpassing 740 points despite any perceived shortcomings. However, to discover that they all had scored a resounding 750?

In that moment, Gu Zhaoming regarded his three offspring with a complex mix of emotions.
