The elderly really do become more confused as they age.
"Of course it’s Xiao Wu! What makes you think it’s Zhang Xianxian?" Grandma Lu took out her phone, "Shall I call Mother Xiao Wu to ask?"
Although she had Lin Guixiang and Zhao Cuinong on WeChat, Grandma Lu hadn’t started checking her friends’ circles yet today.
Besides.
Checking friends’ circles is not as fast as making a phone call.
The call connected quickly, and Grandma Lu couldn’t wait to ask, "Guixiang, have Xiao Wu’s results come out yet?"
"They kind of have," Lin Guixiang replied.
Kind of have?
What kind of answer is that?
Grandma Lu’s phone was on speaker, and upon hearing this, Bai Lu squinted her eyes.
She thought Lin Wu definitely didn’t perform well.
Otherwise, Lin Guixiang’s answer wouldn’t be like this.
As those words fell, Lin Guixiang continued, "Xiao Wu’s grades were blocked."
Blocked!
So, the girl mentioned online whose grades were blocked was actually Lin Wu!
Upon hearing this news, Grandma Lu got incredibly excited, "Guixiang, can you send me a screenshot?"
"I can."
After hanging up the phone, Grandma Lu received the screenshot sent by Lin Guixiang.
Seeing the screenshot, Grandma Lu was jumping around excitedly, "Lulu, did you see? The person whose grades were blocked is Xiao Wu! It’s hilarious, Zhang Xianxian has the nerve to claim someone else’s grades online."
Bai Lu was also slightly stunned; clearly, she hadn’t expected Lin Wu’s grades to be blocked as well.
Although it was unbelievable, since college entrance examination grades are the fairest and least likely to be copied, Bai Lu could only accept reality.
However, she didn’t agree with what Grandma Lu said.
"Mom, what do you mean Xianxian is claiming someone else’s grades? It must be that both her and Lin Wu’s grades were blocked."
Zhang Xianxian is not that kind of person who would claim someone else’s grades.
So.
The only explanation is that Zhang Xianxian’s grades were blocked too.
Thinking of this, Bai Lu continued, "Mom, I heard that the top ten scores in the entire province are blocked. Although Lin Wu’s grades were blocked, her rank definitely isn’t as good as Xianxian’s! So, you are surely losing this bet."
"Just wait to go with me to apologize to Xianxian!"
This was her bet with her mother-in-law.
If Zhang Xianxian ended up being the top scholar in the college entrance exam, Grandma Lu would go with her to apologize to Zhang Xianxian and admit her mistake.
"Do you have some misunderstanding about Zhang Xianxian?" Grandma Lu continued, "Besides, didn’t you see what was written on the trending searches? Xiao Wu is the only student in Qing City this year with blocked results."
After thinking it over, Bai Lu continued, "Maybe the trending search got it wrong! Anyway, Xianxian’s score would definitely not be outside the top ten in the province!"
A person who scored 748 in a mock examination, how bad could he possibly be?
Anyway, Grandma Lu is surely losing this one.
Grandma Lu continued checking the trending searches.
Just then, several new trending topics appeared.

#AnotherCandidateHadScoresBlocked#
#LinWu#
Grandma Lu first clicked on the trending search term ’Lin Wu.’
The post was from a blogger claiming to be a colleague of Lin Wu’s uncle, and included screenshots from Lin Bingqiang’s friends’ circles.
Xiao Wang going to work hard today: "It seems everyone is mistaken, the real person whose results were blocked is our colleague Lin’s grand-niece, proof in picture [screenshot.jpg] [screenshot.jpg]."
[What? Who is Lin Wu? Even more impressive than Qing City’s top scholar?]
[So envious, does Mr. Lin still need uncles?]
[What are you talking about upstairs, should ask if Uncle Lin is still short of grand-nieces.]
[So, what’s the actual score of the top scholar?]
Immediately after, Grandma Lu clicked into the first trending search #FirstScholarlyGeniusImageCrumbles#
Beautiful Fairy: "Laughing to death, everyone says Zhang Xianxian is the top scholar of Nanhai Province, so let’s see how much the ’top scholar’ you all talk about scored in her college entrance exam [screenshot.jpg]. My uncle works at the school, this was secretly taken by him while other teachers were checking scores, guaranteed authentic!"
[106?]
[The lowest score is only 6 points? Did the top scholar not bring her brain?]
[Good to be rich, package yourself however you want.]
[Even my good friend scored more than 106 in each subject.]
[Cheaters will eventually be punished.]
[No wonder everyone says the college entrance exam is fair, it seems it really is fair; even the powerful Zhang Family couldn’t help Zhang Xianxian cheat in the exam.]
Grandma Lu read each comment one by one.
She liked every comment that insulted Zhang Xianxian.
Bai Lu didn’t look at the trending searches anymore but walked in front of the rose garden, smiling, "Mom, your roses are really beautiful. I was just thinking about celebrating with Xianxian at the Zhang’s house, could I pick some of your roses to give to her?"
"Hold on." Just as Bai Lu’s scissors touched the rose branches, Grandma Lu suddenly spoke.
"What’s the matter?" Bai Lu turned around.
Zhang Xianxian did score the top marks in the province, isn’t Grandma Lu willing to spare even a bunch of roses?
That would be too stingy.
"These roses are all saved for Xiao Wu."
"Lin Mu didn’t score the top marks in the province." Bai Lu was quite dissatisfied.
Grandma Lu directly pulled up the screenshot of Zhang Xianxian’s score, looking amused, "Lulu, can you now score 106 points and still be the top college entrance exam scholar?"
