Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School

Normally, step-parents wouldn’t treat their step-children very well.

“Very well, in fact…” Gu Ning said, and realized why Hu Jiarong asked that question. She wanted to explain something, but a woman’s voice interrupted her.

“Mrs. Tang!”

A rich lady greeted Gu Man, and came over with her two friends. They had been looking for a vacant table and noticed Gu Man by a glance, so they walked over to greet her.

“Nice to see you, Mrs. Tang!”

“Nice to see you too, Mrs. Qu, Mrs. Zhuang, and Mrs. Yu.” Gu Man stood up at once and smiled at them.

“Please seat yourself, Mrs. Tang. We all know that you’re pregnant,” Mrs. Qu said and helped Gu Man sit back down.

Mrs. Qu had a good relationship with Gu Man, and they sometimes gathered together, so it wasn’t a secret that Gu Man was carrying her second baby now.

Hu Jiarong didn’t know Mrs. Qu, but she recognized Mrs. Zhuang, who was a real super-rich lady.

Although Hu Jiarong recognized Mrs. Zhuang, Mrs. Zhuang didn’t know her, so she didn’t dare to greet Mrs. Zhuang.

Hu Jiarong’s family was rich with over a hundred million yuan in assets, but it was nothing compared with a real super-rich family. And even though Hu Jiarong was arrogant, she wasn’t dumb.

To her astonishment, Mrs. Zhuang was very polite towards Gu Man, which meant that Gu Man might be in the same circle with them.

Hu Jiarong couldn’t believe, nor accept it, because Gu Man would be in a much higher class than her if that was the case.

“Oh, hi, Miss Gu!” Mrs. Qu moved her sight to Gu Ning and politely greeted her too.

“Nice to see you, Mrs. Qu.” Gu Ning stood up. Mrs. Qu was older than her and she shouldn’t forget her manners even though there was a huge gap between Mrs. Qu’s family and the Tang family.

“I heard that Miss Gu is the highest scorer this year, congratulations!” Mrs. Qu complimented Gu Ning.

Hu Jiarong, however, was totally shocked when she heard it. She couldn’t believe that Gu Ning was the top scorer this year, because Gu Ning only told her that she could get into a good university.

Actually, it wasn’t a lie, because Gu Ning could indeed get into a good university, the best university in their country to be specific. She was just being modest, and it wasn’t her fault.

“Miss Gu is the most outstanding young girl I’ve ever seen before! I wish my son could be as diligent and smart as you,” Mrs. Zhuang said. “Mrs. Tang, we’re all envious of you.”

“Thanks, I’m flattered.” Gu Man smiled.

“Alright, we shouldn’t be bothering Mrs. Tang any longer. We can gather together again when we’re free,” Mrs. Yu said, because she noticed that Gu Man was here with her friend.

Mrs. Qu and Mrs. Zhuang excused themselves at once.

“Right, Mrs. Tang, see you,” Mrs. Qu said.

“See you around,” Gu Man said.

When they were gone, Hu Jiarong was still in shock.

Hu Jiarong’s daughter, instead, stared at Gu Ning curiously. “You’re the top scorer this year?”

“Yeah.” Gu Ning nodded. Hu Jiarong’s daughter was a nice girl, so Gu Ning didn’t mind being friendly to her. Even though Hu Jiarong was very unkind towards Gu Man, Gu Ning wouldn’t be mad at her daughter because of it.

“Wow, you’re awesome! You’re better than my older cousin. He only gets a total score of nearly 600 points,” Hu Jiarong’s daughter said and pouted. “I don’t like studying.”

She was very bold and funny.

Gu Ning was amused by her expression, but she understood that not everyone liked studying. Nevertheless, an academic certificate was prerequisite for work.

At this time, Hu Jiarong suddenly said in an acidic tone, “Gu Man, since you’re a friend of so many super-rich ladies, you must have married into a super-rich family as well.”

Gu Man frowned and felt displeased. It seemed that her old schoolmate wasn’t really a friend!

“Yeah.” Gu Man curbed her anger.

“Good for you! There is a super-rich man who doesn’t care about your history and your kid with another man,” Hu Jiarong said. She couldn’t hide her jealousy of Gu Man anymore.

Gu Man was annoyed by her tone, but remained silent.

Hu Jiarong continued, “Oh, is this your husband’s second marriage? Does he have any other kids? Will your daughter get some of his wealth?”

In Hu Jiarong’s eyes, no man was willing to marry a single mother at his first marriage. Actually, Hu Jiarong’s husband had married once before, and Hu Jiarong married him for his money. In addition, her husband didn’t have other kids, so her daughter could inherit his legacy. However, she still felt jealous of Gu Man because it turned out that Gu Man lived a better life than her.
