One Day Before the University Entrance Exam

One Day Before the University Entrance Exam

One day before the university entrance exam, a young girl named Jessica came to my house.

She said she was the true daughter of my parents, that years ago, two babies had been swapped at the hospital.

I knew she had intentionally chosen this moment, just to confuse me and make me lose my composure so that I would fail the exam.

She was not an ordinary person; she was someone who had come back to life.

And me? I am Emily, who has crossed into a book.

As soon as I heard her story, my mother rushed to her without hesitation, embracing her while crying and trembling.

“My daughter, you don’t need any tests! Just by looking at you, I know you are my true daughter.”

The reason was that she looked so much like my mother when she was young, a resemblance that left no room for doubt.

The true heiress, Jessica, seemed a bit uncomfortable.

She looked at me and then suggested, “Why don’t we do a DNA test? What if I’m mistaken?”

My mother cried again, insisting that she couldn’t be wrong.

However, under Jessica’s humble insistence, the three of us went to the hospital to get the DNA test done.

When the medical staff finished taking the samples and were about to leave, the true heiress suddenly said, “Emily, you should get tested too.”

The atmosphere in the room became tense immediately.

I smiled, my voice calm: “It’s not necessary; you all can take the test.”

Jessica wouldn’t give up, insisting, “Just do it; what if I’m really mistaken?”

At that moment, my father, who had been silent, finally spoke coldly: “It’s not necessary; Emily already took the test with us before.”

I turned and smiled sweetly at the heiress who had returned from the dead.

She still didn’t know that she wasn’t the only one who knew the whole story.

I am Emily, who has crossed into a book; I know everything.

Not only do I know that she has come back to life, but I also know her next moves.

I know she would appear on this day, and her only goal is to make Megan fail the exam, making my false life pay the price.

Because, in principle, Megan is the top student in social sciences in the entire city, and the unexpected blow from the true heiress caused her to fail the university entrance exam in her previous life.

But I am not the original.

Before she arrived, I had already invented an excuse to tell my parents that I might not be their biological daughter.

I requested to take a DNA test.

The result, of course, showed that I was not the daughter of the Thompson family.

As soon as I received the report, I proposed to move out.

But my parents refused.

They said that even though I didn’t share their blood, 18 years of raising me was no joke.

They couldn’t ignore me like a stranger.

My mother, to help the true heiress feel less uncomfortable, even suggested changing her name.

So, even before we had the test results, her name was changed from Katherine to Jessica.

You are listening to the story on Xài Não Audio, where your intelligence is always respected.

I hope you enjoy the narration.

After returning home, Jessica said: “Sir, ma’am, before we have the DNA test results, I think I should return to the Khuong family.”

“My adoptive mother, of course, couldn’t bear that.”

She asked about the situation of the Khuong family.

When Jessica arrived at the Thompson family, she was wearing clothes that had been washed until they looked worn out.

“I know my adoptive mother, even if she doesn’t say it, thinks in her heart that Jessica doesn’t live well in the Khuong family and wants her to stay here.”

Jessica seemed to hesitate.

“Father Khuong is a doctor, and mother Khuong is a teacher; although they don’t earn much, the whole family crammed into a small house is still very happy.”

I mentally underlined the key points in Jessica’s words: “they don’t earn much,” “small house.”

My adoptive mother’s expression changed immediately.

She looked sadly at Jessica: “Jessica, don’t go back. Tomorrow is the university entrance exam; traveling is exhausting, and I fear it will affect your results.”

My adoptive father thought for a moment and finally gave his contact number to the Khuong family to talk to them.

My adoptive father went into the office to make the call, and none of us knew what he had said.

But not long after, my biological parents appeared at the gate of the Thompson family mansion.

The parents of both families stayed in the living room discussing, while Jessica and I were called back to the room.

Jessica arrived suddenly, so my adoptive mother could only temporarily accommodate her in the living room.

After returning to the room, I packed my personal belongings and what I needed to take for the exam tomorrow.

In reality, there wasn’t much to pack.

Since discovering that I had crossed into a book, I had already prepared.

After all, Jessica would surely come looking for me.

I didn’t plan to stay long in the Thompson family, so I prepared on my own; after all, it’s better than being kicked out.

But I didn’t know what they had said; my biological parents agreed to let me stay in the Thompson family before the university entrance exam began, and after that, they would go to take the DNA test.

When they left, I went out to see them off.

My biological mother took my hand and gently said, “Can I call you Miên Mê?”

I nodded: “Of course.”

She smiled and said, “Miên Miên, now there’s nothing more important than your university entrance exam. Whether crying or laughing, let’s talk after you finish, okay?”

She used gentle words to comfort me.

I knew she feared that this sudden event would affect me, but how could it?

In my previous life, I was also like Megan, the top student in social sciences in our city.

In contrast, Jessica, after coming back to life, only cared about plotting against Megan, almost not touching the study books at all, and in the end, she didn’t even pass the university.

She still doesn’t know.

In fact, both she and Megan are innocent characters serving the protagonist.

The university entrance exam took place as scheduled.

Jessica and I were not in the same exam room.

In the original story, Jessica pretended to be timid so that the Thompson parents would take her to the exam room.

While Megan, under the double blow of knowing she was not the biological daughter of the Thompson family and being ignored by her parents, had a disastrous exam.

The first exam was, without a doubt, extremely bad.

The university entrance exam is also like a driving test; if you make a mistake at the beginning, your psychology is affected, leading to the following parts being influenced as well.

Moreover, after that, Jessica also planned to make Megan eat spoiled food, which caused her acute gastritis and had to go to the exam sick.

Therefore, Megan, who was originally the top student in social sciences in the city, only managed to enter a technical university, missing a few points from entering a second-tier university.

While the protagonist of the story, who always ranked second, rose to the top, becoming the top student in social sciences in the city, and Jessica was even worse.

Before coming back to life, she had graduated for years and had been far away from studying, so she was completely unable to concentrate on reviewing.

In the end, she didn’t even pass a technical university, and Thompson had to spend money to place her in a school abroad.

I knew Jessica would do something, so during breakfast, I proposed that my adoptive parents take Jessica to the exam room.

I had already gone to test the route; I was quite familiar with it, so I could go alone.

It’s just a role of Tiểu Bạch Hoa, who doesn’t know how to do it?

My adoptive mother, upon hearing this, was very worried.

Jessica was unexpectedly hit by me, opening her mouth but still maintaining a fake smile.

She looked very ridiculous.

My adoptive father said: “Emily, what nonsense are you talking about? My mother will take you, and I will take you.”

In the original story, the Thompson parents had always treated Megan very well.

Even after Megan returned to the Khuong family, the Thompson parents still often visited her.

I smiled sweetly. Yes, of course.

The smile on Jessica’s face gradually faded.

After the university, the DNA test results were also available.

It was no surprise; Jessica was indeed the true heiress of the Thompson family.

At the moment she saw the DNA test result, Jessica first looked at me defiantly, and then hugged Thompson’s mother while crying.

Thompson’s father stood by silently, lighting a cigarette.

I went to Thompson’s father and said, “Father, we need to talk for a moment.”

Thompson’s father reflexively extinguished the cigarette in his hand.

He looked at Thompson’s mother and Jessica, who were crying, and said: “Let’s go to the office.”

I nodded and followed Thompson’s father into the office.

The isolation in the Thompson family house is very good.

As soon as I entered the office, the crying outside stopped.

I went straight to the point.

Father, now that we have the DNA test results, I’ve decided to move to the Khuong family.

Thompson’s father was stunned and said: “Emily, have you thought this through? The Thompson family doesn’t lack money; adding one more daughter is not a problem.”

In the original story, when Megan moved out, Thompson’s father also retained her as before.

People say that the grace of upbringing is greater than that of birth, and feelings cultivated over more than ten years, how can they be cut off by a simple piece of DNA test paper?

I smiled and said, “Father, since I found out that I am not your biological daughter, I have been thinking about this. If I stay, Jessica will definitely not be happy. At that time, between her and me, it will be difficult to avoid conflicts, and whoever is in each other’s heart will also feel wronged.”

In fact, I understand a little about Jessica’s situation.

She was robbed of 18 years of wealth; it is normal for her to have resentment in her heart.

But in this story, both she and Megan are innocent.

I said, “Moreover, my biological parents only have me as a daughter; if I stay in the Thompson family, what will happen to them?”

This is the responsibility that Megan must bear.

I have taken her identity, so I must take on this responsibility for her.

Thompson’s father was silent for a long time before speaking: “Emily, you’ve grown up. You think about things much more thoroughly than before.”

I smiled and said, “Everyone has to grow up.”

Thompson’s father’s expression was full of regret.

He took out a red notebook from the drawer.

“This was originally meant to be given to you when you entered university; take it with you to the Khuong family.”

I shook my head and didn’t accept it.

“Father, I just need to take the clothes my parents bought for me before and some personal items. The rest is fine.”

In the original story, because of this house, after that, Jessica would come to cause trouble in the Khuong family.

Listening to what I said, Thompson’s father felt a little embarrassed.

Tonight’s dinner, of course, could not be enjoyed.

Before leaving, Thompson’s father asked me to send him a recording and promised me that he would definitely give Jessica a lesson.

Education or not really didn’t matter anymore.

Jessica’s reputation in the Thompson family had been completely destroyed.

Jessica also had a brother studying abroad, who was capable, ambitious, and quite cold.

With Jessica’s current situation, her result in the entrance exam would likely remain the same.

If nothing unexpected happened, the fortune of the Thompson family would not have a part for her, and in the end, it would just be money to support her.

After returning to school for two days, I received a call from Thompson’s father.

He said: “I’ve made arrangements for Jessica to go abroad. Your brother asked your father to take her; he will take care of her education.”

“Now she has been taken away.”

I didn’t expect Thompson’s father’s efficiency to be so quick.

“Yes.”

Thompson’s father’s voice sounded a bit tired.

I’ve had people investigate.

After Jessica returned, she was actually two completely different people from when she was in the Khuong family.

If not corrected soon, I don’t know what state she would become.

Hearing this, I even felt a bit of compassion for Jessica.

The eldest son of this family, in the story, is famous for being cruel and ruthless, and is considered a fairly important supporting character who will compete with the protagonist for the male lead’s affection.

Thompson’s father not only brought people but also didn’t give her a penny.

After that, Jessica wanted to spend money, so she could only ask her brother.

For an adult who had enjoyed the feeling of spending money wildly, this could be more painful than killing her.

Moreover, this eldest brother of the Thompson family was really very cold.

Jessica fell into his hands, and her fate could be imagined.

After coming back to life, Jessica felt increasingly sad.

Mom, over time, got used to the life of the Thompson family, and her previous life became even more distant.

Jessica couldn’t go back home, and her life abroad became more difficult.

The Thompson family became increasingly distant, and Jessica’s life became darker.

In the story, Jessica only had an elder brother to take care of her.

After she left, the Thompson family became a place she could not return to.

Jessica’s life became more and more gloomy.

Finally, on her birthday, Jessica decided to return home.

But in the end, she couldn’t return.

Jessica’s fate became a sad story.

And I, as Emily, finally found my own path.
