Chapter 527: Just Heard Her Own Name_1
As soon as he mentioned Nathalie’s name, the atmosphere became even stranger than before; no one spoke, all observing Ghania’s reaction.
Ghania looked down on the tea here and was unwilling to drink it.
Now, she picked up her cup and took a sip as if to cover up, tucking her hair behind her ear. Her expression seemed calm, as if he had only mentioned a name of no significance.
Olivia reacted the fastest, snapping back to reality. She immediately snorted, "Ferdinand, why are you bringing her up? It’s such a downer. We were all happily welcoming Ghania back, and you have to mention a name that makes us all unhappy."
The boy called Ferdinand was also from Class B, known as the class clown with average grades. He had pursued Ghania at the beginning of school and had always been smitten with her, still liking her to this day.
He leaned back carelessly in his chair, resting his hand on the top, and said, "I’m not doing anything, just thought I’d ask."
His gaze swept through the group, landing on a girl in the corner wearing thick glasses, his voice laced with mockery, "Wenny, aren’t you from Class A? Tell us, how did Nathalie do? She took leave to go to Tsinghua University for the exams, did she get in?"
Today was Class B’s reunion, but Ghania had invited Wenny over.
Supposedly for a meal.
Wenny didn’t expect to encounter so many from Class B here; she thought Ghania had only invited her. She wanted to leave, but when she arrived, Ghania had greeted her warmly, and she couldn’t find an opportunity to do so.
At this moment, seeing everyone looking at her, waiting for her response, she straightened her tensed back, pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose, and answered uneasily, "Well... I heard she didn’t get in."
Her voice was as low as a mosquito’s, requiring one to prick up their ears to hear her clearly.
She said in a low voice, "Ghania and I were waiting for the interview in the large classroom when I didn’t see her, usually those who don’t pass the written test can’t attend the second round, so..."
Nathalie had just stepped into the Japanese restaurant mentioned by Clerent and her friends when she heard someone mention her name quite loudly.
"Ah, saying it so tactfully, you beat around the bush so much, but actually, you mean Nathalie didn’t get in, right?"
Her jawline was cold, and she pushed down the brim of her hat, the corners of her eyes lifted.
Hmm.
Didn’t get into what?
Wenny didn’t spell it out, speaking very subtly, but her meaning was crystal clear, "Probably. If she had gotten into the class, someone would have spoken up, most likely she didn’t get into Tsinghua."
"Getting into Tsinghua isn’t easy; it’s full of top students. This year from McKinney, it seems only Ghania got in, I got filtered out in the second round."
Her test results weren’t good but not bad either, exactly 500 points, barely making it into the second interview round. Her aim was the physics department, and she couldn’t answer several questions raised by the professors during the interview, naturally getting filtered out in the end.
She wasn’t surprised by the results; she had expected not to get into Tsinghua before going but still wanted to give it a try despite her reluctance.
After she didn’t pass the interview, she didn’t hurry away. She waited in the large classroom for a while and overheard other examinees who went in after her saying that Ghania had gotten in. They even said that Professor Derliand from the finance department took note of Ghania and personally invited her to minor in finance...
Wenny couldn’t put her feelings into words; it was a mix of envy and admiration. In her eyes, Ghania was the kind of person every girl dreams of becoming.
Beautiful, from a good family, with great academic performance, and to top it all, a gentle and kind personality...
