The perfect score for the college entrance examination is 750.
What does it mean for Zhang Xianxian to score 748?
Bai Lu actually went and checked.
Last year’s provincial top scorer only got 736 points.
Zhang Xianxian was a full 12 points higher than him.
She didn’t just beat him; she left him several streets behind.
It’s just that Zhang Xianxian is low-key; if it were someone else, they would’ve been showing off by now.
"748?" Grandma Lu slightly furrowed her brows, "Who did you say scored 748?"
"Xianxian," Bai Lu responded.
"Zhang Xianxian?!" Disbelief plastered all over Grandma Lu’s face.
Bai Lu nodded, "Who else could it be? Mom, please stop having issues with Xianxian, she really is an outstanding child that’s hard to come by."
In fact, Bai Lu never understood why her mother-in-law just didn’t like Zhang Xianxian. freewebnovel-cσ๓
Could there really be some kind of curse in this world?
Grandma Lu shook her head, "Impossible, how could Zhang Xianxian possibly score so high?"
She had looked into it as well.
In last month’s mock exam, Zhang Xianxian didn’t even score a total of 200.
Whereas Lin Wu could always score above 730 in every mock exam.
This was also why Grandma Lu was so convinced of Lin Wu’s abilities.
"How is it impossible?" Bai Lu said somewhat speechlessly, "Xianxian is truly a top scholar! Not like those who cheat."
For the top scholar to become the provincial top scorer was expected by everyone.
It was only natural.
Not everyone can compare with Zhang Xianxian.
"Who are you saying cheated?" Grandma Lu looked at Bai Lu.
Bai Lu said with a smile, "You know who I’m talking about. After all, the whole Qingzhong School is buzzing with it."
Grandma Lu, of course, also knew about the rumors of Lin Wu’s plagiarism, and she frowned, "Those are just rumors spread by people who are jealous of Xiao Wu, trying to smear her!"
Lin Wu simply scorned the idea of plagiarism.
"So just because you say it’s smearing, it is?" Bai Lu chuckled, "Then why doesn’t anyone try to smear Xianxian?"
It’s because there’s something inherently wrong with them.
After all, flies don’t pester seamless eggs.
It was sheer sophistry.
Pure sophistry.
Grandma Lu’s hands on her hips!
So infuriating!
What to do?
Having finally won a round against her mother-in-law, Bai Lu was in high spirits and continued, "Mom, although you can rely on cheats and tricks in usual exams, the college entrance exam is no joke. Just wait and see, Lin Wu’s true colors will be revealed under the exam’s demon-revealing mirror."
Thinking about the day after the college entrance examination, Bai Lu felt extremely relieved.
Then, Grandma Lu would realize just how wrong she was.
Grandma Lu gave a ’heh’ and instantly stopped feeling angry, "Lulu, you’re right, the college entrance exam is indeed the mirror that reveals one’s true nature. We’ll soon see if one’s human or a ghost."
With that, Grandma Lu, carrying the lychees, turned and walked away.
"Mom, wait a minute." Bai Lu caught up to Grandma Lu’s steps.
"What now?" Grandma Lu turned with impatience.
Bai Lu raised a smile, "Mom, share some of these lychees with me."
The lychees Grandma Lu bought were not ordinary lychees.
They were the first batch of lychees picked from a 300-year-old Gui Green Lychee tree from the southern islands.
These fruits were not only much larger than ordinary lychees, but they also had no pits, were full of juice, and rather than being sold by the pound, they were auctioned off individually.
The highest bidder would win.
Grandma Lu had bid on 3000 lychees and spent a six-figure sum.
Out of these 300 lychees, half were consumed by the old lady herself, while the other half were packed into gift boxes to be sent to Lin Wu.
In Bai Lu’s eyes, giving so many lychees to Lin Wu was a waste.
After all, even Zhang Xianxian hadn’t enjoyed such a benefit.
"Not sharing." Grandma Lu’s attitude was very firm, "You think you can use my lychees to curry favor? Impossible!"
Giving them to Zhang Xianxian was even more out of the question.
"Mom!" Bai Lu tugged at Grandma Lu’s sleeve, starting to act coquettishly.
"Acting coquettish won’t work." Grandma Lu pulled back her sleeve.
Bai Lu was taken aback.
Her relationship with Grandma Lu had always been very good, and before, whenever she acted coquettishly, her mother-in-law would always satisfy all her requests.
But now, acting coquettishly suddenly didn’t work.
She knew Lin Wu held a very high place in her mother-in-law’s heart.
But she never thought that Lin Wu’s place in her mother-in-law’s heart would be so high.
Bai Lu slightly furrowed her brows.

Capital City.
Mu Baicheng stood in the yard smoking.
Beneath his feet were littered cigarette butts.
Three months had passed.
These three months, he had completely lost contact with Lin Guixiang.
Thinking back to the sweetness of three months ago, Mu Baicheng’s face grew even more somber.
"Dad."
Just then, Mu Xiaodong’s voice pierced the air.
Mu Baicheng turned around.
Mu Xiaodong had been abroad for a while and had just returned to the country today.
Seeing his father again.
