Chapter 9
Saving a Life
Guo Miao glanced at the bags that the mother and daughter were carrying and understood.
Chengxiang Restaurant was very close to the piano store but far from the electronic products store. She remembered that this was Guo Lin’s favorite restaurant.
However, the butler was the one who had bought the mobile phone and computer while the takeout was Guo Lin’s favorite food. This mother and daughter were really hypocritical.
Guo Miao sneered. She could not be bothered to play along with them, so she turned around and walked straight to the attic.
“Stop right there. We’re going to announce your identity to the public soon. You’re still acting like a wild child from the countryside.” Upon seeing Guo Miao’s attitude, Cheng Yu almost cursed.
Guo Miao didn’t seem to hear her and didn’t slow down her pace.
“Mom, don’t be angry. She didn’t do it on purpose,” Guo Lin consoled Cheng Yu. “Sister, what do you want to eat? I’ll ask the butler to prepare some for you. You must be hungry after being out for so long.”
Guo Miao waved her hand and said coldly, “No need. I’ll go upstairs first.”
Just as she was about to enter, she heard Guo Hu’s voice behind her.
“You can tell me if you have any problems. Don’t be so stubborn. Your family will be worried.”
Guo Miao glanced at Guo Hu.
Guo Hu’s expression was sincere. ‘Don’t come back so late in the future. Your family will be worried.’
Guo Miao nodded. “Alright.” Her voice was still emotionless.
Guo Hu felt that she was weird.
Guo Lin looked at Guo Hu’s back as he chased after her and secretly cursed Guo Miao.
‘Guo Miao only knows how to act. Does she think that by acting so cold, our family will care about her?
‘What a joke!’
The next day, Guo Miao went to school as usual.
In class, Chen Cheng did not announce the results of the quiz. The questions in this quiz were a little difficult, and many students did not even pass. In order not to dampen the students’ enthusiasm, she decided to let them review the next monthly test first.
Guo Miao didn’t care about the results. She came from a thousand years in the future, and her knowledge far surpassed that of the current generation. She didn’t intend to invest too much energy in this area.
At noon, she didn’t take a break. Instead, she went to the study lounge to look up some information and see if her registration was successful.
On the road next to the study lounge, a three-wheeled bike suddenly sped across the sidewalk and knocked down an old woman on a stroll.
The man on the three-wheeled bike only turned back to take a look and pedaled even faster.
The old woman was lying on the ground motionlessly. The passersby all stopped in their tracks, but no one dared to move forward.
“What’s wrong with her? Why don’t we call an ambulance for her?” someone suggested.
“That little three-wheeled bike ran away after hitting someone. If we go and help her now, who’s going to be responsible if something happens?” Some people had different opinions.
“That’s right. I think the three-wheeled bike just scraped her a little. She might be fine. This old lady is pretending to extort money.”
Guo Miao had already made a call to the hospital and rushed to the old lady’s side.
“Where do you feel uncomfortable?”
When she heard the woman’s cry, she furrowed her brows and felt as if all the bones in her body were broken.
“Child… my tailbone and knees hurt a lot.”
Seeing the old woman finally speak, Guo Miao heaved a sigh of relief. “Then, it should be a fracture. I’ve already called the ambulance. Please hold on a little longer and don’t move.”
The ambulance arrived very quickly. Seeing that the old woman had no family members with her, Guo Miao got into the ambulance and went to the hospital.
The old woman was wheeled in for surgery. Guo Miao was about to go back to class when the nurse stopped her. “Please pay the medical bill first. It’s 5,000 dollars.”
Guo Miao had a few thousand dollars with her thanks to Guo Fu, and it was almost all she had.
She didn’t hesitate. She took out her card and paid for the medical bill. She wrote a note for the old woman and then rushed back to school.
She had just sat down when she saw the English teacher entering the classroom with a teacher she had never seen before.
“I’m the form teacher of Class 1, Gu Ze. I’m also the group leader of the grade’s English team. Today, I’m here to mobilize the students for the English competition. The Chinese-English competition is about to begin. I hope that everyone will be enthusiastic about signing up and bringing glory to our school.”
Her eyes swept across the audience. “Is there any student who wants to sign up? Wang Meng, you must sign up.”
Wang Meng nodded, stood up, and took the registration form from Gu Ze’s hand. “I know that there is another student in our class who wants to sign up. I hope she can get good grades too. Isn’t that right, Guo Miao? ”
Gu Ze was startled.
Guo Miao? That trash from the countryside actually wanted to participate in an English competition?
Were village kids these days all so confident? What a joke!
