84 Dare to Act and Take Responsibility

The Guos of Haicheng had been living a peaceful life recently.

Guo Lin had improved a lot in the recent school test, and her parents were also very pleased. Although she couldn’t be compared to Guo Miao in terms of knowledge, she was much more sensible and obedient.

Today, the dishes on the table of the Guo family were quite decadent, and they were all Guo Lin’s favorite dishes.

Guo Hu looked at the dishes on the table and his parents’ attitude toward Guo Lin. He felt that the family had returned to the past, back to the calm before Guo Miao came.

But he didn’t know what Guo Miao was doing right now. Where was that stubborn and arrogant girl now?

Thinking of this, Guo Hu’s heart ached a little. He still liked his biological sister very much. Although she was cold and distant, he sometimes felt that he could understand her emotions, probably because they were related by blood. Unfortunately, they probably couldn’t be like ordinary siblings.

Thinking of this, Guo Hu sighed deeply.

“Brother, why are you sighing?” Guo Miao was indulging in the delicious food and was a little puzzled by Guo Hu’s sudden low mood.

“It’s nothing. I just thought of some unhappy things. I didn’t do well enough in the exam this time. The college entrance examination is coming up soon, so I’m a little stressed.” Guo Hu made up an excuse.

“It’s okay, don’t be nervous. I will support you no matter which school you go to.” Cheng Yu patted Guo Hu’s shoulder.

In fact, with Guo Hu’s academic performance, he would have no problem getting into Huaqing or Beijing University, but it would be a little difficult if he wanted to enrol in a good major like finance or medicine.

While looking at Cheng Yu, Guo Hu also had mixed feelings. If he really failed the college entrance examination, Cheng Yu would definitely think that he was an embarrassing child and would not comfort him.

If Guo Miao was here, what would she do?

Thinking of this, Guo Hu felt a kind of sadness surging from the bottom of his heart. He felt as if he had seen many sides of Guo Miao that his parents couldn’t stand. The shortcomings that he could cover up before were all exposed now.

“Dad, Mom, I’m done eating. I’ll go upstairs to study first.” Guo Lin went upstairs after saying that.

As Guo Lin walked, she kept typing on her phone.

[Still haven’t finished your business? Can’t you even execute such a simple task?]

[Zhang Tian, why aren’t you replying to my message?]

[Zhang Tian, don’t you want your reward?]

No matter how many messages she sent, these two people didn’t reply. Frustration rose from the bottom of her heart. What was going on with them?

Just as Guo Lin was about to call Zhang Tian, an unknown number called her cell phone.

When she picked up the phone, it was a cold female voice. “Guo Lin, don’t go overboard.”

The voice was so cold that Guo Lin shivered. It was as if the ice on a glacier had not melted all year round.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. Also, what did I do to make you think I went too far?” asked Guo Lin.

Guo Miao said, “Zhang Tian and Li Ju are currently in the guardhouse. Their parents are looking for lawyers to save them from a heavy sentence. You’d better take care of yourself. They’re covering up for you now. If you dare to do anything, it’s hard to say what will happen.”

“Well, I didn’t do it. I told them to put the laxatives…” Guo Lin said. She regretted it before she could finish her sentence. It was no different from confessing.

Guo Miao sneered. “Guo Lin, you and your two accomplices have so many things in common. How could you be so stubborn and let it slip? Be careful. If I want to keep an eye on you, I can do it at any time.” Her voice was very calm as if she had already decided on something.

“I’d like to see how you’re going to keep an eye on me,” Guo Lin sneered and looked up at the window. She was so surprised that she almost threw her phone out.

A dragonfly-shaped drone was parked in front of her window, and a laxative wrapping paper was hanging on the leg of the drone.

“You’re trespassing on private property, Guo Miao!” Guo Lin shouted.

Guo Miao didn’t take it to heart. “You’re deliberately saying that, Guo Lin. Let me remind you, your house is not a no-fly zone. I’m just teaching you a small lesson.”

Looking at the drone by the window, Guo Lin shuddered. “What do you want to do?”

Guo Miao hung up the phone without saying a word.

Guo Lin opened the window and tried to catch the drone, but it had already flown far away. Guo Lin stood in place and clenched her fists.

‘Guo Miao! What was that?’
