Chapter 1027: Mom Is Super Awesome
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Yes, Mr. Zhou, I won’t be attending tomorrow’s seminar. My wife’s university entrance exam results are out–she scored 688 points, making her the top scorer in our province.”

…

The next morning, Gu Zi woke up early. She had planned to eat breakfast before heading upstairs to get ready–apply her makeup, change clothes, and spritz on the expensive perfume Su Shen had gifted her. With all this, she would be glowing when she stepped out!

She didn’t need to worry about breakfast, though. When she woke up, Su Shen was nowhere to be seen, and she immediately knew he must be handling her breakfast. Sure enough, when she entered the dining room, she was greeted by the sight of a steaming breakfast spread.

In the center of the table was a beautifully crafted cake, with the words “Congratulations on Your Academic Success” written in bright red fruit jam.

Gu Zi smiled. The older man’s attention to detail was undeniable; it was a thoughtful gesture, and she felt a swell of emotion. She almost wanted to give him a hug.

She looked around and spotted his tall figure by the phone. She walked over, greeting him cheerfully, “Good morning, darling. Who are you on the phone with?”

Su Shen glanced at her, then replied, “Your parents. The line just connected. You’re in time–come and share the good news with them, Gu Zi.”

Gu Zi, still groggy from sleep, hadn’t thought about these details yet, but Su Shen had already taken care of them. She took the phone with a smile. “Mom, Dad, yes, my results are out. I scored 688 points, first in the province. There’s no doubt I’ll get into Imperial Capital University. If you have time, you should come visit us, and we can celebrate together.”

There was a pause on the other end of the line, followed by a stunned silence. Then, her mother, An Yun, couldn’t contain her excitement. “688 points? My daughter, I knew you were smart, but I didn’t realize you were this smart! Oh my God, this is incredible! We’re packing now and will take a taxi over as soon as we can.”

Gu Zi chatted with An Yun for a few more moments before hanging up. Just as she was about to sit down to breakfast, her phone rang again. It was Principal Zhang from Renhe. “Gu Zi, do you need me to send a car to pick you up? Today’s your day to shine, don’t be late!”

Gu Zi quickly declined, replying politely, “Thank you, but my husband has some free time today and will drive me to school. I appreciate your concern, Principal.”

She hung up, but no sooner had she done so than her phone rang again. The constant stream of calls was relentless, and her hunger was starting to catch up with her.

Sensing her frustration, Su Shen smoothly removed the phone’s receiver, silencing the interruptions, and gently guided Gu Zi to the table. “Let’s eat first. Don’t worry about those calls.”

As they sat down to breakfast, the kids trickled in one by one, and Gao Ming, who often came over to eat, joined them. The family settled in for a lively, familiar meal. The little cake didn’t entice anyone–why would they settle for something store-bought when Gu Zi’s cooking was so much better?

After a few bites, Gu Zi cleared her throat and announced, “Kids, I have some exciting news to share with you. See this cake? It’s a gift from your father to me, celebrating my high score on the university entrance exam. I scored 688 points.”

She couldn’t help but feel a little smug–her kids were already so impressive, but now she had a score to match. Surely, she deserved a moment to shine, too.

The kids, of course, weren’t clueless. They understood what the score meant, and their reactions ranged from surprise to admiration. Su Li, ever the earnest one, was particularly impressed. “Mom, you’re even better than Brother! He didn’t score 688!”

Su Li, unaware that the total points for elementary school and the university exam weren’t the same, was astonished. To him, it seemed like his mom was the smartest in the family. Su Bing, on the other hand, knew better but still couldn’t help but praise her. “Mom, you’re our role model!”

Gao Ming, clearly impressed, chimed in, “Auntie, I heard from my dad that this year’s exam was particularly difficult, but you still managed to score so high. You’re amazing–truly the best!”

Su Le, holding her spoon, looked slightly confused but joined in with a simple, heartfelt, “Mom is super awesome. Lele loves Mom!”

…

The family enjoyed the cake, celebrating the good news. Once Gu Zi was dressed and ready, she felt there was no harm in arriving early–better to be early than late. The whole family set off for the school together.

Gao Ming even ran back home to ask his grandmother for permission to accompany Gu Zi. Naturally, he got the go-ahead, and the Gao family was equally overjoyed at the news.

Meanwhile, across town, the Gu family had already made a call to Lin Miao’s class advisor. Zhang Mei was feeling anxious–she’d heard that the exam had been especially tough this year, and if Lin Miao didn’t do well, it would be embarrassing. She was planning to check the score with the advisor first. If it didn’t meet the college admission requirements, she wouldn’t even let Lin Miao go to school.
