My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 196 - Tick-Tock-Tick



\'So it\'s in a week. Hmm…\' she tapped fingers on the desk as she wondered that she now not only needed to work but also needed to spare some time for study as well. Otherwise, how she gonna compete with students who are studying day and night where it\'s been a long time since she has touched the books. 

\'Ah, Jiang Yue, it\'s gonna be a hard life ahead.\' she sighed tiredly.

A week later, 

On the day of the exam, Xu Nuan was sitting in her seat in the examination hall and was waiting for the test to start. The students who were almost licking their books earlier to memorize every bit of it entered the hall one by one and took their seats. 

It was the most prestigious and crucial exam of Xin Lin university where almost every student appears to get the most desired top place. Although everyone was thriving for the top position and the pride which comes along with it, she was doing all this to get admission to the college and scholarship. 

Who has this much money to pay for its tuition fees just to repeat the same thing that she has done in the last life? She would rather buy more food for herself.

….

Xingren walks into the examination hall accompanied by her two friends and was in a great mood since she finally got her cards and car for a day because of her exam. In the last week, Gu Zhang didn\'t talk to her and as he has said, her cards and car were taken away from her.

However, Lin Ran and grandmother Gu gave her pocket money to use secretly and she has insisted Yuhan pick her up from the college every day.  Even though she was banned from a luxury life, she didn\'t have to face many hurdles because of the people around her. 

Also, Lin Ran has affirmed that she will talk to Gu Zhang and make him remove this ban after she clears this exam. 

She can\'t understand why her father is overreacting so much. Anyway, if Lin Ran and Grandmother Gu are on her side, no one can make her leave Gu Mansion, not even Grandfather Gu himself. 

Her thought was interrupted by her friend when she heard her say, " Xingren, who do you think gonna get the scholarship?" 

Xingren pursed her lips and was about to answer her when her other friend said," What kind of question is that? Of course, It will be Xingren. She is the pride of our business department. She is not only beautiful but has brains along with it. She is our campus-belle for a reason." The girl said while holding onto Xingren\'s arm affectionately. 

Upon hearing this buttery-compliment, Xingren\'s lips curled up in a smug smile. That\'s right. She might be defeated by Xu Nuan at home as she has won over Grandfather Gu but no one can beat her in the college. 

She has not only passed her school with top-ranking but also made it into Xin Lin with flying colors. She was preparing for this test since the moment she stepped into Xin Lin, she will get the top-rank again and prove to Grandfather Gu that she is the only one who deserves to succeed in the company and not Xu Nuan who couldn\'t even continue her studies. 

She shakes her head and says politely, with a humble smile, " Don\'t say that. It\'s not that only I am the capable one to top this exam, everyone has worked hard."

" Oh, Xingren, how can you be so nice and beautiful at the same time? It\'s so unfair." Xingren couldn\'t help but chuckle at this comment of her friend and tucked her hair behind her ear with a shy smile. 

Xu Nuan who was sitting in her seat and was watching Xingren smiling and laughing and couldn\'t help but smirk at her bad luck. 

" Everyone, please take your seats and prepare for the exam." The examiner entered the hall and announced while standing behind the desk. 

Xingren looked at her friends and waved at them before walking towards her seat, however, her eyes stopped on the strangely dressed person who was wearing the grey hoodie and black maks and was sitting on the very last bench of the room. 

Upon squinting her eyes, she realized that she was the same woman who beat Aurora, the ace of Xin Lin the other day at the E-competition. Recalling her excellent performance, her hands turned sweaty. 

\' Why is she here? Isn\'t this exam for students of Xin Lin university only? Then why is this outsider doing here?\'

-

After Xu Nuan was done with her exam, she pursed her lips and looked around only to realize that everyone is still writing. When she checked the time on the clock that was hung on the wall, she realized that there are one and a half hours still remaining. Even she was surprised that she was done so early. 

She was worried that she might not be able to complete the test on time and well since it\'s been years since she was done with her hellish studies, but seems like professors used to praise her for a reason. She smiled gleefully and stood up from her seat picking up her paper along with her.

It was a set of objective questions but the question paper set was extremely difficult and the negative markings make it difficult for them to mark on anything. 

That\'s the genius problem. How can she complete the exam in half time? That\'s smartly ridiculous. 

Xingren was rubbing her temple due to stress as this year\'s question paper was harder than any other exam in the previous years. However, she frowned when a person passed by her seat and walked towards the desk of the examiner who was looking at everyone attentively. 

Xu Nuan handed her paper to the examiner and took permission to leave. The examiner was flustered and looked at Xu Nuan\'s face in confusion. 

Xingren\'s mouth widened in shock seeing the mysterious girl submitting her paper so early. How can she?

Even the examiner looked troubled but took her paper anyway. 

Xu Nuan turned around and glanced at Xingren who was looking in her direction with her puzzled gaze. Her lips curled in a smirk as she repeated to herself, \' Xingren, your bad time starts now. Tick tock, tick tock!!\'
