Chapter 135: The Next Goal

Chapter 135

Over the next few days, online discussions about Ji Ruochu never stopped. But unexpectedly, Ji Mochen, who had always been ostentatious in showing off his daughter, was keeping an extremely low profile this time.

Even when fans and netizens flocked to leave messages under his account, he never responded, seemingly unwilling to let this matter continue fermenting.

To be honest, under normal circumstances, if he had reacted in such a low-key manner, netizens might have thought they recognized the wrong person and guessed that the gold medal winner was not Ji Ruochu.

But it was difficult to dispel this idea given that the official website had already routinely published basic information about several contestants, as per custom.

Her name, age, and school all matched up, so even if Ji Mochen were to now say it was all a misunderstanding, no one would believe him.

Of course, whether netizens believed him was one thing, and whether Ji Mochen really chose not to say anything was another matter entirely. His current silence inevitably led netizens to speculate.

【Speaking of which, when our daughter acted in that movie earlier, didn't this guy also keep a low profile?】

【No ah, I remember he also helped promote it. Didn't he even dress up as a woman? I saw marketing accounts just the other day saying he paved the way for his daughter's future acting career.】

【The one above, that was because he lost a game in a variety show. The one he promoted wasn't Ruoru's movie.】

【Oh well, I'm just amazed by marketing accounts nowadays, leading with one picture then just making things up as they go!】

【So does this mean...Ruoru's dad doesn't approve of our daughter mixing in showbiz in the future?】

【Shouldn't ba, didn't he post a video earlier saying his daughter will act in the future? If he didn't agree, he wouldn't have said it jokingly.】

【That was then, now she's grown up. And back then our daughter was only a few years old, how old is she now? Besides, back then our daughter didn't win a Math Olympiad gold medal! 】

【True. If I were Ji Mochen, with the child starting off on such a high note, what's the point in going into showbiz? Wouldn't it be better for her to shine in the scientific community?】

...

Not only so, but netizens also began to speculate wildly that the Ji family saw Ruoru's talent and was preparing to groom her to take over the company.

After all, Ji Mochen's two brothers had also trended when their award photos were posted earlier.

What's more, compared to her big uncle and little uncle, Ji Ruoru was not lacking in either looks or IQ.

In the end, it was Ji Mochen's hardcore fans who left comments dispelling the inheritor fantasies constructed by netizens.

【I feel Ji Mochen's reticence precisely shows that he unconditionally supports whatever choices Ruoru makes.

The only criteria for their selfies was that their daughter had to look her best! As for everything else...unimportant.

Thanks to the efforts of her parents, Ji Ruoru's lowered popularity rose once more.

In the study, looking at the screen where "Ji Mochen takes wife and daughter on trip" was trending on social media, Ji Ruoru helplessly facepalmed.

This couple was simply too ostentatious.

Still, while she thought this inside, she had no plans of stopping them, in the end...

Glancing at her notebook where all her competition goals had been accomplished, she felt that a celebration was indeed in order.

These were a series of goals she jotted down in her notebook as the memories from her past life grew vaguer in her mind.

First and foremost was her goal for the high school Math Olympiad competition.

Somehow, at the moment she obtained the international competition gold medal, the traces of competition scenes from her past life left in her mind vanished without a trace.

In their place, was the memory of full marks obtained in this most recent competition throughout the whole experience, a feeling of...

As if an invisible pen was rewriting her life trajectory guided by a mysterious hand.

And this pen could only be propelled by herself.

She was crystal clear that only by working hard and diligently, could she compose new chapters in her life.

Just as now, she could no longer clearly recall what she encountered and the results of competitions in her past life.

But it didn't matter, she was certain, her first regret had been remedied.

Thinking this, Ji Ruoru briskly flipped past the competition page.

The next second, the giant word "Academics" leaped into her vision, under which were several concise goals.

Seeing the contents above, Ji Ruoru's frown only grew deeper and deeper.

Obviously, with most of her past memories already forgotten, she could now not at all understand why she would have written these words.

But—

"Since it was past regret, it naturally must be remedied."
