Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 134 Ask for advice

One morning, the Gu family was in a private school.

Before the time for the formal class to start, Chen He took advantage of this gap to distribute the homework that had been corrected yesterday to the students.While he was reading the name, he also read out the rating, which made everyone's hearts beat like drums, and they were very nervous.

"Gu Yunji - You Shang; Gao Che - Liang Shang; Xue Yue - Liang Zhong; Gu Huaishhao - You Xia..."

The people whose names were read stepped forward one by one and took their homework from the podium, either excitedly or sadly, with different expressions and gestures.

"Cheng Yan—Your Highness." When it was Cheng Yan's turn, Chen He nodded with satisfaction, his eyes showing appreciation, "Your handwriting is very good."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Cheng Yan looked calm, without showing half a smug complacency because of Chen He's praise, after slightly nodding to him, he returned to his seat with his homework.

Half a moment later, almost everyone had received their homework, except for one person who hadn't waited for Chen He to read his name. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a prisoner about to go to the execution ground, suffering from heart to body.

Scanning the name of the last homework on the podium, Chen He's face darkened, his eyelids lifted slightly, and his sharp sword-like eyes instantly locked on someone sitting in the corner: "Gu Ming'an, I haven't heard my name for so long, Are you in no hurry?"

Gu Ming'an's body froze, and a bad premonition rose from the bottom of his heart. Hearing this, he could only bite the bullet and walk forward, and walked to the edge of the podium step by step, hesitatingly said: "...Mr. Chen, But what's wrong with my homework?"

"What's the problem? It's a big problem!" Chen He snorted coldly, and slammed Gu Ming'an's homework on the podium, "Look carefully for yourself, what kind of stuff are you writing, it doesn't make sense!"

"There are [-] students in the entire school, and you are the only one who is bad! The logic is confusing, confusing, and even typos, which are completely unreadable! I don't want to give you a rating, anyway, it's all bad, left and right It makes no difference!"

Chen He's reprimand came down like a thunderstorm. Looking at the circles and forks drawn by ink pens on the homework, Gu Mingan's face turned red and then white, white and red again, and he felt that everyone around him seemed to be looking at him What a joke, I wish I could find a crack in the ground and get in for a while.

"'On the Changes of My Household Tax', isn't this a difficult topic? Gu Ming'an, there are quite a few elders in your family who are officials. Your father, Gu Kaili, is also in charge of the civil affairs of the Songjiang Mansion. You have been in such an environment since you were a child. It stands to reason. I have some understanding of household tax, but I just answered like this!"

"I've read your previous articles, and your level is still there. You can hardly be regarded as a talent. Why is it that the closer you are to the township examination, the more you have regressed?" Chen He was so angry that he spit and stared, with a look of hatred on his face. Wu Chenggang, "I'm absent-minded and in a trance every day, I don't know if you are listening in class!"

This is not the first time that Gu Ming'an has been so perfunctory in his homework, and it is not the first time that Chen He has gotten angry because of this. Whenever he lectures and scolds, the other party keeps his head down and repents, but secretly he still does his own thing, not at all. No improvement.

Thinking of this, the anger in Chen He's chest rose up, his patience was exhausted, he threw his homework into Gu Ming'an's arms, and said angrily: "Forget it, I don't want to talk to you so much , It’s useless to talk about it! You go back and revise it yourself, and hand it over to me tomorrow!”

"I really don't know how to write it, so I went to ask Cheng Yan and Gu Yunji for advice, and see how they wrote it!"

It's Cheng Yan again!

Gu Mingan, who was about to turn around and go back, paused and clenched his fists tightly, with a look of resentment in his eyes.But then his eyes flashed, and his expression quickly returned to calm. Without letting anyone notice his gaffe, he silently returned to his seat with his eyes downcast.

During class break, Gu Mingan looked at Cheng Yan who was quietly reviewing his books while sitting on his seat, Gu Mingan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face changed from dark to bright for a few moments. As if he finally made up his mind, he walked up to him with his homework in his hands, and sneered at him maliciously. He said, "Young Master Cheng, are you serious?"

Sensing a shadow cast from above, Cheng Yan frowned imperceptibly, and asked without raising his head, "What do you want to do?"

"What can I do?" Hearing the defensiveness in Cheng Yan's words, Gu Ming'an raised his eyebrows, and said in a playful tone, "Mr. Follow the teacher's instructions, come to ask Mr. Cheng for advice, ask for advice?"

Gu Mingan bit the word "ask for advice" especially hard, and spoke in a strange way, not at all looking like he was sincerely asking for advice.

In view of Gu Mingan's previous behavior, Cheng Yan would not think that his purpose was really so pure. Hearing this, he didn't want to tangle with him, so he found a reason to decline: "I'm busy now, let's talk about it later."

"Mr. Chen hasn't assigned any new homework, so what can you do?" Gu Mingan persisted, taking advantage of Cheng Yan's inattention, and took away the book in his hand, ""The Songjiang Mansion's Township Examination Questions for the Past Ten Years" ...It turns out that it's a set of exam questions, it's the same anytime you look at it, so why don't you tell me about my homework first?"

Seeing that Cheng Yan still wanted to evade, Gu Mingan immediately raised his voice, and said loudly on purpose: "I watched others come to ask for advice, and you were very happy to answer. Why can't I do it when I get here? Is it because you are really busy and incapable of doing things? I can't spare this time; or is it because of the festival between you and me that day, so you hold grudges against me?"

The people around were immediately attracted by Gu Mingan's words, and after hearing the words, they all looked at Cheng Yan carefully, as if they were wondering whether he was really as narrow-minded as Gu Mingan said.

Cheng Yan's eyelids twitched, his chest was full of gloom, and he couldn't get angry at Gu Mingan in public, so he gritted his teeth and said, "If you really want to ask for advice, then I'll tell you right now!" The homework was spread out on the table and explained from the beginning.

After a while, Cheng Yan spoke dryly, but when he turned his head, he saw that Gu Mingan's eyes were wandering, and he didn't pay attention when he saw it, so he paused, holding back his breath, and said, "Do you understand?"

Gu Mingan shook his head very simply: "Not at all."

Afterwards, without waiting for Cheng Yan to answer, he sighed self-consciously, pretending to be regretful: "He said he wanted to explain to me, but in fact, he went around and said that he didn't talk about the main points, and he was completely fooling around. Me. Looks like you still have a grudge against me—"

Gu Yunji, who was on the side, was furious when he heard it, and couldn't help but said: "Cheng Yanzai told you carefully three times, but you didn't listen carefully, so why did he fool you? Who is holding a grudge against whom?"

"Forget it, I'll figure it out on my own." Gu Ming'an avoided Gu Yunji's question in a natural tone, his voice was pretending to be pitiful, and his teeth itch, "I'm stupid, I can't learn it no matter what, and now I have wasted Mr. Cheng For a long time, I really dare not delay your reading, but thank you for explaining the homework to me."

With that said, he picked up his homework and returned to his seat with a lonely face.

I have to say that Gu Mingan was very talented in acting when he fell down. Everyone was far away and couldn't hear exactly what Cheng Yan explained to him, but seeing his sighing expression and self-deprecating tone, with a sad and regretful look, it seemed that he was really single-minded. He asked for advice but was fooled and refused, and for a moment he unconsciously leaned towards him, so he inevitably had some opinions on Cheng Yan.

Seeing this, Cheng Yan sighed silently, and stopped Gu Yunji who wanted to ask for an explanation: "Forget it, let him say whatever, anyway, I won't lose a piece of meat."

Cheng Yan comforted himself like this, but he was still puzzled in his heart.

What did Gu Mingan want to do here today?Is it just to damage his image and make him appear narrow-minded and intolerant?
Really unable to figure it out, Cheng Yan stopped thinking about it, put aside the chaotic thoughts in his head, collected himself, and continued to read his book.
