C68 Bewilderment
Mu Qingqing sneered coldly. Mu Xiaoyou had truly been taught well by Su Cuiyun. She refused to admit it no matter what. Alright, since she had changed into someone else's clothes, she might as well see how long Mu Xiaoyou can keep it up for.
"Since that's not the case, then you should stay in the office. When the ceremony is over, I will come with dad to pick you up." Mu Qingqing's cold voice echoed in the locker room.
"I'm not what you think." Mu Xiaoyou bit her lips. At this moment, she was filled with rage, but she didn't dare to get angry at Mu Qingqing.
"Alright, I'll come over with dad later to pick you up." Mu Qingqing slammed the door and left Mu Xiaoyou alone, dawdling in the locker room.
All the students in the classroom had already taken their seats. When Mu Qingqing walked to the window, she found that she was the only one in the class who had not arrived yet.
The board on the blackboard had changed, from counting down to 100 days, to returning to zero.
She had just reached the doorway when thunderous applause began to rise from the classroom.
"Our classmate Mu Qingqing is the top scholar in the entire A City." "The homeroom teacher took the lead in clapping. His excitement was palpable." This is the honor of our class, the honor of our school, and the honor of the entire city.
Mu Anren stood on the other side of the stage, grinning from ear to ear. When he entered the classroom, the head teacher refused to let him leave, and asked him to make a speech at the ceremony later.
"Student Mu Qingqing, please come up to the stage to express your thoughts." The homeroom teacher stood to the side, her eyes seemed to glow, eagerly anticipating Mu Qingqing to come up and express her thoughts.
"Alright, I'll say a few words." Mu Qingqing did not decline. Since she had already become a top scholar, there was nothing to decline.
Walking up to the podium, the class stopped applauding. Mu Qingqing surveyed her classmates. She wasn't unfamiliar with some of these faces. Some of them had been around for years, but she didn't interact much with her classmates. Because she was very busy, very humble.
Su Cuiyun had a lot of work to do for her. In the past, she didn't even have the time to finish her homework. Furthermore, due to the fact that she was unable to hand in her homework, she was punished by her teacher and slapped on the palm of her hand with bamboo sticks.
Today, she had won first place in A City, and it was undeniable that her memory after her rebirth had been of the greatest help to her.
"Being the top scorer is something I never thought of. I have gone from being a crane in class to being a leader in the city. I am very grateful for the help you students give me, and also very grateful for the untiring teachings of my teachers. And my father, they brought me to this world, and gave me the chance to see the vast world, the chance to be the top scholar. " Mu Qingqing's voice resounded in the corner of the classroom. It was clear and cold, without the slightest hint of arrogance.
"My three years of schoolmates allowed me to get to know you, and I cherish the days of studying under the same roof as you. Now that we are all about to graduate, I hope to meet you in the future. We are still good friends. " Mu Qingqing was at a loss for words. In one breath, she said all these provocative words, and a trace of sadness appeared in her heart.
"Mu Qingqing, share your learning methods."
Among the students, there were people who tried to coax her to share her studying methods. Mu Qingqing glanced at them and coughed dryly.
"My method of learning is very simple. I have to diligently study and persevere in this field."
Seeing that she was unable to continue, the homeroom teacher took the initiative to step up onto the podium.
"Alright, let's not talk too much. Everyone stand and gather." The bell outside the classroom had already rang. The students from all classes had already rushed to the sports field.
Mu Anren went with the homeroom teacher. Today, he didn't even go to the company.
"Hey, Mu Qingqing, why are you so amazing? You're already in the top scholar category." From time to time, a student would whisper a question to her.
Ann Linyan's gaze never left her body as she endured her emotions without uttering a single word.
Mu Qingqing took two steps back, walked to Ann Linyan's side, and gently pulled her hand. Ann Linyan looked up in surprise, then smiled bitterly.
She really didn't get into the top three because she had handed in the blank papers and now received a completely different treatment from Mu Qingqing. Her teacher, who had originally held high hopes for her, couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at her. Even the students who had always held her in high regard sighed when they saw her results. Some people even suspected that Mu Qingqing and Ann Linyan had changed their papers and written the wrong names so that they could trade among the top students.
"Are you okay?" Mu Qingqing was worried that Ann Linyan wouldn't be able to pass the test in her heart. She was a pretty good person and was still young. The thing he was most afraid of was that Ann Linyan wouldn't be able to bear the feeling of falling from an outstanding student to a poor student.
Ann Linyan shook her head, her brows still furrowed.
"Thank you for comforting me last time."
"How are your parents?" Mu Qingqing whispered into her ear, her tone full of worry.
"I... I'm working hard, and I don't know if it will work. " Hearing Mu Qingqing's words, Ann Linyan went home to learn how to cook and how to do housework. However, her parents had been alone at home for the past few days, and the other person was not at home.
"After today's graduation ceremony, you have a lot of time. Don't worry, you've already worked hard." Mu Qingqing whispered.
The sky was still clear. The wind blew across the field and the students below stood up straight.
Mu Qingqing looked up at the five-star red flag fluttering in the sky, an indescribable pride in her heart.
After the principal had spoken, he once again invited Mu Qingqing to address him. Mu Qingqing steadied her mind and felt helpless. This was the legend that many people had their fair share of popularity. It was true that she had become the top scholar in A city, but she never expected that so many people would step up to speak.
After a few short sentences, Mu Qingqing backed off to the side and the principal invited Mu Anren to give a speech.
Mu Anren stood on the stage with the microphone in his hand and looked back at Mu Qingqing.
"As my daughter, she had a hard time. In our family, children have to grow up on their own, and I'm not a good father. I'm not even home when she looks at her homework. I missed her life, missed her studies. As a father, I failed. "
Mu Qingqing's heart was slightly moved. She never thought that one day, Mu Anren, who always loved face, would admit his failure in front of so many people.
"She got the top scholar for A City today. To be honest, as her father, I only found out about this news after sending her to school. It can be said that I am the last person in A City to know of this news. " Mu Anren's tone was sonorous and a hint of red appeared in his eyes. However, no one could see the restraint in his eyes.
"My daughter is very ambitious. She relies on herself and doesn't need her parents to worry about her. Today, I bless her, ten years of hard reading cold windows, finally get plum blossom fragrance. But, daughter, father wants you, in the future life, study hard, live diligently, tread well every step of the future. "We must do what we can to win, defeat, and keep a low profile."
Mu Qingqing nodded her head and applauded Mu Anren first. Her father was indeed a man of his word. It was no different from his usual job as the company's leader when he said those words.
The applause from below the stage was thunderous. Mu Anren turned around and walked towards her.
The two of them were about to walk off the stage, but were stopped by the principal.
"Today, we offered a bouquet of flowers to A-City's top scholar to thank her for bringing honor to our school." The headmaster himself brought her a bouquet of fragrant flowers.
Mu Qingqing nodded with a smile as she felt shy.
"Qingqing, did father say anything good? It's the first time I've spoken so much in front of so many people, and I'm a little nervous. " Mu Anren patted Mu Qingqing's head as if he was relieved.
Mu Qingqing turned around, amused. "Dad, don't you often give meetings to employees in the company?"
"The staff are all employees, that's all. There are thousands of people in your school." Mu Anren glanced at the audience with lingering fear. The dense crowd of heads made his scalp tingle.
Mu Qingqing walked down the stage with the fresh flowers in her arms and nodded with a smile. "Yes, it's different. There's a lot of people on the field."
"..."
After the ceremony ended, they returned to the classroom. Mu Qingqing had come back with great honors, and her name had been mentioned eighteen times during the ceremony.
The class organized a dinner party tonight, and the class teacher offered to take them to Karaoke to sing. Mu Qingqing reckoned that the title of A-City's top scholar would give out a lot of bonuses to the teachers and teachers.
Mu Anren suddenly remembered that other than his eldest daughter, Mu Qingqing, there was also his second daughter, Mu Xiaoyou, who was missing for a long time. He suddenly stood up and walked out of the classroom. Seeing this, Mu Qingqing also thought of Mu Xiaoyou in the locker room.
As soon as they left the classroom, the homeroom teacher hurried over. However, his jacket was missing, so Mu Qingqing didn't think too deeply into it.
"Mu Qingqing, is your sister called Mu Xiaoyou?" The homeroom teacher asked anxiously.
"Yes, what happened?" Mu Qingqing and Mu Anren looked at the teacher in confusion.
"To the locker room. Your sister fought with them." The homeroom teacher's tone was somewhat helpless. He thought that this was probably the result of extreme joy and sadness …
Fighting? Mu Xiaoyou had been sick all day. How could she have fought with others? Mu Anren ran in the direction the teacher in charge pointed to.
Mu Qingqing followed closely behind, feeling a little depressed in her heart. She had just won the A-list position, and Mu Xiaoyou had already started to stir up trouble?
When they walked to the door of the locker room, Mu Qingqing was the first to hear Mu Xiaoyou's crying voice. She turned around and looked inside, only to find pieces of the floor littering the floor.1
What was going on?
Mu Qingqing couldn't figure it out. Mu Xiaoyou had clearly changed into a proper set of clothes, but why did the clothes still rot?
"Xiaoyou!" Mu Anren also felt sorry for his family's child and strode inside.
Mu Xiaoyou was wearing her homeroom teacher's coat and was sobbing. Her tears had already made her crying worse. It seemed that there were still a few scratches on her face.
Standing beside Mu Xiaoyou was a female student who was about the same height as Mu Qingqing. She was currently glaring fiercely at Mu Xiaoyou. If there wasn't a teacher and a parent standing next to her, she would probably rush up to fight with Mu Xiaoyou.
"What's going on?" Mu Anren looked at the scar on Mu Xiaoyou's face and asked seriously.
