Chapter 346: 097: Bet, Superiority Complex_5

Bai Lu was once again left speechless by Grandma Lu’s rebuke.

After finishing the last can of cola, Grandma Lu turned and headed upstairs.

Bai Lu watched the old lady’s back and couldn’t help but shake her head somewhat helplessly.

Indeed, the old become like unreasonable children.

Grandma Lu returned to her room, closed the door, and then walked over to the cabinet to retrieve a box perched on top of it.

But the cabinet was too high; even on her tiptoes, she couldn’t reach the box. Reluctantly, Grandma Lu had to drag over a stool and, with its aid, she finally managed to get the box down successfully.

The box was made of rosewood.

It looked quite old as the paint was already peeling off.

Because Grandma Lu never allowed anyone to clean her room, aside from the peeling paint, the box also had a thick layer of dust on it.

Grandma Lu picked up a cloth and wiped the box carefully, taking a good long while before finally opening the lid.

Click.

The lid opened.

Inside, there was a photo and a necklace.

Even though the photograph was in color, years had passed, and it had begun to oxidize. Still, it had been well preserved, so one could clearly see the young woman in the photo.

The young woman, dressed in a pink dress, stood in the midst of a sea of flowers, more radiant than the blossoms of spring.

Grandma Lu just stared at the person in the photograph, her eyes gradually reddening.

This was her daughter.

Her only daughter.

"Tingting, have you been well over there these years?"

The young woman in the photo remained silent, only looking back at Grandma Lu with a smile on her face.

Thump.

A tear, cloudy with age, fell onto the photo.

"I miss you so much, Tingting..."

So very much...

She never spoke of her daughter in front of others.

Even Bai Lu seldom heard Grandma Lu mention her aunt.

But she was constantly missing her daughter.

In the time after her daughter’s accident, she had even thought about suicide, until the Su Family cast out Lu Ye and falsely accused her daughter of infidelity.

Since then, Grandma Lu swallowed her sorrow, took back Lu Ye, and raised him herself.

And she changed his name!

She was determined to prove to everyone, one day, that her daughter was not the kind of person they said she was!

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became stifling and oppressive.

Elsewhere.

Lin Guixiang came to the vehicle administration to take the practical driving test, part three.

Part three required driving on the road, and though there was a coach in the passenger seat, Lin Guixiang was still a bit nervous.

The coach handed her a bottle of water, saying, "Sister Lin, there’s really no need to be so nervous. Part three is very simple. Just stay calm and be cautious, and you’ll pass."

Lin Guixiang nodded in response.

The coach smiled again and said, "After the part three test, just take a look at part four, and then you can get your license. Have you thought about what car you’re going to buy?"

"I haven’t decided yet," Lin Guixiang replied: "But my daughter says a car is just a means of transportation, so when the time comes, we’ll just buy any old one."

Just then, Lin Guixiang’s name and test number flashed up on the screen in the test hall.

The coach reminded her, "It’s your turn, get in there quickly, don’t be nervous."

Lin Guixiang stood up and headed for the starting entrance.

As soon as she left, another coach from the same driving school approached, "Xiao He."

Xiao He turned and said with a smile, "Coach Jin."

Coach Jin handed Xiao He a cigarette, asking, "How did that student of yours pass the theory test, part one?"

"Which one?" Xiao He asked curiously.

Coach Jin responded, "The one that just went in for the test."

"You mean Lin Guixiang?"

Coach Jin nodded and lit a cigarette, continuing, "I checked her file, it said she was illiterate or semi-illiterate..."

Illiterate, meaning someone who can’t recognize a single character.

The theory test, part one, is not something an illiterate person can pass.

Just so happened Coach Jin had also recently taken on an older student, over sixty, who couldn’t read, and he wanted to get some advice from Coach Xiao He.

To ask how he helped Lin Guixiang pass the test.

Now they’re so strict, cheating alone isn’t enough to help the students pass part one.

Xiao He said with a smile, "Though the file says Lin Guixiang is illiterate, she’s not what you’d imagine. She not only knows characters but also speaks English."

Upon hearing this, Coach Jin’s eyes widened.

How could someone who had never set foot in a school know how to read, let alone understand English?

Absurd!

"Really?"

Xiao He nodded, "Really! Why would I lie to you?"

Still skeptical, Coach Jin pushed, "Xiao He, you see we get along so well, just tell me secretly how she really passed part one, will you? Our relationship is so good, would I ever let you down?"
