Chapter 18
Blackout. Youli’s Shock
Yang Mengshan choked on her tears as she told Gu Liangwei, “I also like jewelry designing like Sis. I plan to take the worst course right now and then change it later to Jewelry Design!”
Gu Youli leaned lazily in her chair without bothering to hear what else she had to say.
However, Yang Mengshan did not say anything more. Instead, she started crying quietly with her head down.
Her look of grievance swayed Gu Liangwei. He looked at Yang Mengshan with guilt and tenderness.
Indeed, he did dote on Gu Youli a little more. But that was because she was the child whom he had created with his lover.
While Yang Mengshan was a mistake he had made. Her existence constantly reminded him about it.
Because of this mistake, he pushed his wife to her death.
He knew that the child was innocent but was still unable to treat both of them equally.
That day after Yang Mengshan erupted and dashed out, he reflected on himself and wondered if he really had treated her so poorly to make her feel that way.
Since she wants to attend Jingcheng University, he would just let her attend it.
No matter what happens in the future, it would be her own decision so she wouldn’t be able to push the blame on him.
During dinner, Yang Mengshan told Gu Liangwei that she was going to Jingcheng to play with some of her friends and while they were at it, they would take a look around the school.
Gu Liangwei agreed and even told her to come to his room later so that he could give her some money.
Gu Youli was eating quietly without saying a word.
She had gone on this trip with Yang Mengshan in her previous life. On the trip, other than Yang Mengshan, there had been Gu Huijun and her brother, Gu Hongfei.
These two were the children of the boss of a coal company. Their family was a newly rich family in the little county.
Gu Huijun, Yang Mengshan, and she had been pretty close as classmates.
Gu Hongfei was a freshman in a band two university in Jingcheng. He had always liked Yang Mengshan and was the one who got Gu Huijun to suggest this trip.
After this trip, Yang Mengshan and Gu Hongfei would get together. However, in the second semester of her freshman year, Yang Mengshan would ditch Gu Hongfei.
Other than appearing to be a white lotus, Yang Mengshan had the abilities of a green tea b*tch ( A hypocritical woman who pretends to be a refreshing breath of fresh air but is actually scheming). She was extremely materialistic and would never reject any of the rich and powerful men who came her way.
Of course, when she found an even richer and more powerful man, she would kick the previous one aside without any hesitation.
It seemed that in this life, Yang Mengshan would not ask her to join them on the trip. Even if she did, Gu Youli wouldn’t have joined them.
At around 9 pm, Gu Youli who was about to go to the study room to surf the web, switched on the computer when there was a sudden blackout at home.
When she went to the living room, she realized that both Gu Mengshan and Yang Mengshan had come out as well.
Gu Liangwei said that he would go out and check the reason.
However, Yang Mengshan told him not to. She said that it was too dark outside and since it was already quite late, they should just sleep early and check it tomorrow morning.
There was nothing wrong with what she said.
The main circuit was located on the rooftop. It was already very dark outside so they should just turn in and wait until tomorrow.
Gu Youli returned to her room and laid on her bed. But she kept looking at the lights outside the window.
For some reason, she kept feeling that there was something amiss but could not put her finger to it. It was just a feeling. An inexplicable sense of uneasiness.
At around 11 pm, Gu Liangwei and Yang Mengshan had already drifted off to sleep. Gu Youli stayed awake for a long time and then suddenly, a thought flashed in her mind making her jump out of her bed.
Today was the last day to fill in their choices for their preferred universities. At 12 am, the computer system would lock everyone’s choices.
