After hanging up the phone, there was an awkward silence in the dining room. Everyone was shocked after hearing the news, even Grandfather Gu since he wasn\'t expecting Xu Nuan to be the topper of the exam. 

She did tell him that she was planning to continue her studies and told him to not think about her expenses, however, he never thought that she was planning to continue her studies at Xin Lin university. 

Grandmother Gu pursed her lips and glanced at Lin Ran who was equally shocked. They were celebrating the news of Xingren getting the scholarship but Mr. Wen\'s phone call poured the chilled beer over their excitement. Who would have thought that Xingren not only got the second position but the first ranker was none other than Xu Nuan, the girl who barely passed the high-school exams? 

What was even more shocking was the way she was allowed to sit for the exam. Esports game? Xu Nuan? The girl who barely knows anything about technology has won the famous Esports competition of Xin Lin university?

Is it the same Xu Nuan?

Gu Zhang pursed his lips awkwardly and glanced at Xingren who was sitting there with dull and ashen expressions. She was humiliated this morning in front of all the board of directors and again, all because of Xu Nuan. 

He was feeling bad for her but the news of Xu Nuan excelling in the scholarship exam has left him stunned. He wasn\'t expecting anything from her due to her history but her achievement has made him think about her in a new light. 

" Xingren, don\'t think much about it. You have still secured the second position, it\'s nothing to be sad about. Also, it\'s good that the person who won is Xu Nuan, at least it\'s someone from the Gu Family. It\'s still a proud moment for us." He patted the back of her hand while trying to comfort her. 

With Xu Nuan getting the scholarship, now he will have something to brag about among his social circle about Xu Nuan, otherwise until now whenever he was asked about her, there is nothing that he can say. 

But now he has!

Grandfather Gu who was sitting there in a daze and was processing the news in his mind scoffed inwardly upon hearing his words. He was his son but he has to admit that he is quite selfish and a show-off. 

In the morning he was fighting with him about why he gave Xu Nuan so many shares and now he was telling Xingren to be happy about the result since the award is coming to their family? What a hypocrite!

The words that were meant to be a comfort, made Xingren even more annoyed. He wants her to be happy for Xu Nuan? Impossible. 

Xingren never thought that the person who beat her in the exam is Xu Nuan. Now thinking about the competition, she did feel that the girl\'s figure looked similar to Xu Nuan. But she never thought that it would be Xu Nuan since she has always acted in front of them for not knowing anything, what a bitch. 

She was pretending to be weak and slow in her studies all along. 

Or...did she use any other way? Didn\'t Han Zihao say that she is his girlfriend? It must be him, he must have used underhanded means to help her. There is no way she can top the exam herself after leaving the examination hall so early. 

-

" Ah, that was refreshing." Xu Nuan let out a satisfied sigh as she walked out of the bathroom and tightened the peach-colored bathrobe that she was wearing and made her way to the living room.

She turned on the television and sat on the couch while supporting her back with a cushion. After coming back from the office, she pampered herself with a moisturizing face mask and took a long-refreshing bath. 

It\'s been so long since she has done something for her. She was always busy doing something, either for work or now college. Work never gives her a break. 

However, now she will have some relaxing days. Today was the last day of promotions of The Knights for their debut single MV. In the past few weeks, they had appeared in many music shows and performed their debut song. 

On top of that, they had a long list of variety shows to appear on to promote their new song. Even though they are a new group, the response of the public is surprising and overwhelming. 

Even she never expected to do them this well with their debut song. Wang Meili did not only lose in the bet but was beaten by her pretty badly. That\'s why she isn\'t showing her face in front of her since then. 

Wang Meili didn\'t even fulfill her promise to apologize to her and the girls in front of everyone. She keeps running away from her, she never thought that Wang Meili could be so cowardly to not face her at all after being defeated by her this badly. 

She was looking for something to watch while waiting for her delivery of food when her phone rang. She picked up wondering if it was the delivery man but it turned out to be Grandfather Gu\'s call. 

Is it because of the meeting in the morning? She wondered before picking up the call. 

"Hello. Grandpa, you called so late at night, is there-

However, before she could say anything, he started scolding her, cutting her words in between.

" So you remember that I am your Grandfather. Then why didn\'t you tell me anything?" He demanded coldly. 

Xu Nuan was puzzled upon hearing his words. Was she supposed to tell him anything? When nothing was coming into her mind and asked in confusion, " Grandpa, I don\'t understand what you are talking about. What did I hide from you?"

Grandfather Gu pursed his lips and said, " I can\'t believe you\'re asking me this. About the scholarship exam of Xin Lin university. Why didn\'t tell me that you appeared for the exam? And not only that you topped the exam, did you see the results yet?" He asked coldly but Xu Nuan could feel the vibration in his voice that was showing his excitement. 

She raised her brows in confusion, wondering how he found out about it, and said, " Ah, that. It was nothing much. I was about to tell you once my term starts. And didn\'t I already tell you that I am planning to continue my studies? How can you say that I was hiding that from you?" she said, feeling wronged. 

She received the email in the afternoon from the university about her scorecard and the scholarship details. Maybe since she was the winner, she found out about it sooner than other students, even earlier than Xingren who got second place. 

Since she was busy, she didn\'t think about it. It\'s not that she was expecting otherwise in the result. After exiting the examination hall, she already expected this result. 

It\'s not a new thing for her to top in exams without much studying. She did the same while she was attending university while doing her showbiz activities. At that time, she was even busier than this, yet she managed to keep her rank first almost every time. 

That\'s why her Grandfather regretted a lot of her choosing the showbiz industry over the business. 

Grandfather Gu chuckled upon hearing her words. Here Xingren was bawling her eyes out because she didn\'t get the scholarship and here she was acting as if it\'s nothing important. 

She is truly unique. 

" But how did you find out about it?" 

" Ah, Mr. Wen called Gu Zhang to congratulate him about you winning the scholarship. The result caused quite a confusion here, you should have been present to see everyone\'s face when they found out that it was you who got the scholarship." he scoffed, upon remembering their funny expressions, especially Xingren who was on clouds noun earlier but fell from quite a height due to a misunderstanding. 

~Ding~

Xu Nuan listened to his words with interest and could imagine everyone\'s expressions. As she was talking to him, her doorbell rang.
