Chapter 8, Comparable to Cancer Cells

In the living room, Mu Zhenyang was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, while Ke Wanjing was watching television. Mu Rulan smiled gently and called out, "Dad, Mom, I am back"

Mu Rulan couldn't help but break into a warm and gentle smile, waving her hand at him to be careful not to jump around near the railing, and then she walked inside

Oh my! Please do tell us how you have educated such a child. My own child is truly too disobedient and mischievous. If I could have even one-tenth of Mu Rulan's qualities, I would be so happy that I wouldn't be able to sleep.

In this manner, the vanity of Ke Wanqing and Mu Zhenyang reached an unparalleled level of satisfaction, at least in K City, G Province, where few are unaware of Mu Rulan. Therefore, the public's understanding and reputation of Mu Rulan stem primarily from her achievements, which are significant enough to attract the attention of the national leadership. For eleven consecutive years, even though elementary school achievements may not garner much attention, the subsequent middle and high school accomplishments cannot be overlooked. With such results, the college entrance examination is still a semester away, yet numerous principals from prestigious institutions have already personally visited the Mu family. Even top-tier institutions like Harvard and other Ivy League schools have extended olive branches to Mu Rulan. Throughout all this, Mu Rulan has not mentioned a word to the outside world, while Ke Wanqing and Mu Zhenyang have already spread the news far and wide.

Mu Rulan blinked her eyes, her smile carrying a hint of mischief, "Then let the uncles and grandpas increase the scholarship a bit, as I have been growing up and my grades have been improving year by year. However, their scholarship is still rather meager, just a little bit. There should be rewards and punishments, right, Mom? Don't you think?"

The two raised their heads, their eyes revealing a shared smile. Ke Wanqing stood up and walked over to take the book from her hands, her eyes filled with pride. "I will talk to those old fellows another day. How can they not manage their own school and make my precious daughter work overtime every day? What kind of talk is that!"

Ah, is that the Mu Rulan who has achieved the national first place in the major examinations for eleven consecutive years at Liusilan Academy? Mu Rulan has attended Liusilan Academy from elementary school through middle school to high school, maintaining a record from the first grade of elementary school until now, for eleven years, without any drop in performance. Not everyone can accomplish this.

Mu Rulan took the opportunity to embrace Ke Wanqing's waist. Ke Wanqing, wearing high heels, stood over 1.7 meters tall, and Mu Rulan rested her head against her bosom. "Mom, make sure to tell them about the salary, it should be paid monthly."

As soon as the car door opened, Mu Rulan got out and heard Mu Rusen on the third-floor balcony, waving at her excitedly with a cute smile revealing his little tiger teeth. "Sister! Sister!" He raised his phone, pointing excitedly with one hand and whispered, "Phone number! I got Zhou Yayao's phone number from someone else!" He had an adorable expression as if to say, 'Aren't I impressive? Sister, please praise me.'

... ... ''

To be able to raise such a perfect and outstanding child, you must also be exceptionally excellent. You will surely be able to complete this project perfectly. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation. Occasionally, her reputation can also bring about such a beneficial chain reaction.

Mu Rulan smiled with her eyes curved, incredibly beautiful. Sure enough, the next moment, she heard Ke Wanqing ask: "After the school anniversary, it will be the midterm exam, right? We should still focus on our studies and not let the student council affairs interfere with your learning. Staying up late at night makes your mother worry."

Every time she turns in from here, Mu Rulan cannot help but slightly lean her head to look at that piece of land, as if she sees her past self lying on the road with her head tilted, ignored by everyone. The smile at the corners of her mouth deepens, appearing even warmer. It's alright, we will provide warmth for ourselves, and moreover, I will let some people go down to accompany you. We will not be alone, alright

Hearing these words made Mu Zhenyang and Ke Wanqing feel extremely pleased. Their daughter had been their pride from childhood to adulthood, leaving others with nothing but envy and jealousy. Every time they chatted with others, as soon as they mentioned Mu Rulan's name, it would immediately elicit a chorus of exclamations and admiration.

I never expected that it was your child, truly impressive, your education must be absolutely perfect!" There are always out-of-province or foreign socialites and aristocrats who do not know Ke Wanqing and Mu Zhenyang but are familiar with Mu Rulan who would come and say such a thing.

Um... She estimates that they chose the former, so she continues to indulge.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhenyang immediately felt amused, "I have never heard of a school that grants power and also pays a salary."

Mu Rulan nodded with a smile, "I understand, Mom. If I feel tired, I will find someone to take my place."

The car turned into a bend, entered a private road, and then drove into a large villa

The greater the fame, the more attention it attracts. For several years now, people—especially those in the education sector—have been continuously observing, attempting to see whether Mu Rulan, a genius national champion who has not been brought down for eleven years and is as relentless as a cancer cell, will continue to shine or finally face a Waterloo. However, even if she does encounter setbacks, her brilliance has already been established, has it not? That is eleven consecutive years! Over the span of eleven years, with various mid-term exams, final exams, international mathematics competitions, and so on, if you calculate, there have been at least hundreds of examinations!

Ke Wanqing smiled radiantly, as if she were blooming like a flower. She gently rubbed Mu Rulan's head and said, "Yes, yes, my dear, you have worked hard and deserve more scholarship; your allowance must also increase! But don’t overexert yourself, understand? If it comes to it, we can give up the president position; it’s fine if we don’t hold that title, do you understand?"

However, Ke Wanqing was greedy; she adored the way people eagerly watched and occasionally inquired with a mix of admiration and a hint of anxiety after each exam. She wanted Mu Rulan to keep winning, not just one match or two, but to win thoroughly. If she became the national champion in the college entrance examination, then this legend would remain unbroken for at least thirty years. Everyone would remember Mu Rulan, and everyone would remember that Mu Rulan was the daughter of Ke Wanqing and Mu Zhenyang.

Mu Rulan's life has been twisted and perverted due to matters from her previous life, and consequently, everything she does has become a matter of course. However, if Ke Wanqing and Mu Zhenyang were to realize that her gentle satisfaction of all their vanity and desires for glory is merely a means to repay them for bringing her into this world once again, and that once she reaches her predetermined limit of repayment, she will turn them into puppets, what would they think? Would they prefer to continue endlessly absorbing the superficial brilliance she emits until they enter their coffins, or would they rather endure the humiliation she inflicts upon them and struggle to survive? Her current gentle satisfaction of all their vanity and desires for glory is simply a way to repay them for bringing her into this world once again, and once she reaches her predetermined limit of repayment, she will turn them into puppets. What would they think? Would they prefer to continue endlessly absorbing the superficial brilliance she emits until they enter their coffins, or would they rather endure the humiliation she inflicts upon them and struggle to survive?
