Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon Chapter 1035: Absolutely Impossible

Chapter 1035: Absolutely Impossible

The words “provincial top scorer” hit Lin Miao like a bolt of lightning. Her gaze froze, her mind struggling to process the absurdity of it all.

How could this be? How could Gu Zi possibly be the provincial top scorer?

As far as Lin Miao knew, even the best school in the city, Guangwai Middle School, could only produce city-level top scorers. Gong Zhan had been the city’s top scorer back then.

Now that Gu Zi had enrolled at Renhe Middle School, how could she possibly have beco the provincial top scorer? It was impossible!

Just then, Zhang i and Gu Shan returned from their errands outside, striding confidently toward the private room. They were surprised to find Lin Miao standing there, looking dazed.

Zhang i hurried over, calling her na. “Miao Miao, I heard Gong Zhan was here earlier. Why aren’t you inside talking to him? Why are you just standing here like this?”

Gu Shan, equally puzzled, chid in, “Yes, you’re the host of today’s banquet! Even if you’re upset with Gong Zhan, this isn’t the ti to throw a tantrum. Go inside and talk to him properly. Maybe tonight you’ll move into the Gong family house. You two are already married; it doesn’t make sense to keep living apart like this.”

Lin Miao finally snapped out of her stupor.

At that mont, Jin Long and his crew began putting up banners outside. Lin Miao’s eyes were drawn to the huge, golden banner with the words “Congratulations to Provincial Top Scorer Gu Zi for Celebrating at Our Venue.”

Zhang i, following Lin Miao’s gaze, stood frozen, staring in disbelief. She blinked and looked again, unsure if she had misread it.

Gu Shan, noticing their strange reaction, followed their eyes and saw the banner. The gift in his hands dropped to the floor with a thud. He stamred, “Is—is it really Gu Zi? She’s the provincial top scorer? My god, this is double the good news for us!”

While this was a joyous revelation for Gu Shan, it was a devastating one for Lin Miao and Zhang i.

Zhang i quickly bent to pick up the gift from the floor, protesting, “Impossible! Maybe it’s just a case of soone with the sa na. Do you even know what being the provincial top scorer ans? She hasn’t even been attending classes at school, she’s been busy with the children—how could she have beco the top scorer? It’s absolutely impossible.”

Lin Miao, still reeling from the news, instinctively agreed with Zhang i’s words. “Yes, exactly. We should wait until we get all the facts before celebrating for her. It might just be a misunderstanding. Sothing this big, we couldn’t have been completely in the dark about it.”

The reality of the situation still didn’t seem to make sense to Lin Miao. How could Gu Zi have beco the provincial top scorer? She had no business being number one!

No wonder Gong Zhan had looked at her with such a strange expression earlier—he must have already known.

She had naively bragged about her own results in front of him, and now, looking back, every word felt like a slap to her face, each one stinging deeper than the last.

She almost wished Zhang i was right—that it was just a case of a na coincidence. But the crushing truth weighed heavily on her.

Inside the private room, the guests from the Gu family were beginning to stir, agitated by the news that the service staff had inford them to hurry up with their als because the room needed to be cleared soon. It made the guests feel insulted and ignored, as if their presence didn’t matter.

They had initially been impressed by the Gu family’s generosity in booking such a lavish room for the banquet, but now, it seed like the event was being rushed.

“Where did the Gu family go? The elders aren’t here, and the younger ones are missing too. They’ve left us all here—what does this an?”

“Exactly! So rude. I’ve never had such a humiliating al in my life. If no one from the Gu family shows up soon, I’m leaving!”

“Co on, calm down, everyone. The Gu family has been through a lot. They’re probably just overwheld now that Lin Miao has a future, getting into university. They’re probably busy handling everything. Let’s be patient.”

Finally, the mood in the private room softened a little, and the guests settled into a quieter frustration. Outside, Gu Shan and Zhang i were still unaware of the tension inside the room. They were too preoccupied with their own thoughts.

anwhile, Su Shen and Gu Zi had arrived at the hotel after wrapping up matters at Renhe. They had invited the principal and other school leaders for dinner, but had sent the children ho first, asking them to wait for the Lin family to join them later.

Su Shen and Gu Zi were taking care of the arrangents, as hosts are expected to, ensuring the guests would not be left waiting unnecessarily.

Before they even entered the room, Gu Zi looked at the massive banner hanging at the entrance and was taken aback. She turned to Su Shen and asked, “The banner is so huge, and it’s right at the entrance. Won’t it bother the other guests who’ve booked rooms?”

Su Shen loosened his tie, as the warm weather made it a bit uncomfortable. He replied casually, “It won’t bother anyone. The banquet hall is ours for the evening. Today’s your big day.”
