The list of spices Gu Yang held had been compiled by Feng Jue, who had previous business dealings with the Bass family and thus possessed extensive knowledge about their spice production.

Although she appreciated the spices gifted by others, Gu Yang felt a twinge of guilt for not reciprocating due to her preoccupation with her older sister.

To ease her conscience regarding the spices at Ruan Meng’s home, Gu Yang meticulously organized a comprehensive set of foreign language study materials for her. Moreover, she subtly employed psychological cues to aid Ruan Meng in maintaining self-discipline in her studies.

Additionally, the perfume she was crafting for Ruan Meng served a dual purpose: not only would it awaken individuals from a hypnotic state, but it was primarily intended to thwart any revenge attempts from Tally.

With Ruan Meng delving into the study materials, her focus on foreign languages became unwavering. She abandoned her gaming addiction and dedicated nearly all her free time to studying, astonishing her entire family.

Ruan Zhiying’s heart ached witnessing her daughter’s newfound vigor. She gently advised, “Darling, there’s no need to rush for the exams. Now that your mother has ascended to the position of family heir and is affiliated with the Bass family, no one would dare to ridicule you. Take your time and relax.”

However, Cross interjected, “Ying, it’s beneficial for her to be this motivated. Let’s not spoil her.”

Ruan Bin chimed in, “But she’s already lagging far behind in her progress.”

Frustration welled up inside Ruan Meng, tears threatening to spill. “Dad, I don’t want this either, but I can’t help it. That villain Gu Yang actually hypnotized me before leaving!”

Ruan Zhiying was taken aback. “What?”

Ruan Meng fixed her gaze on the document, her fists clenched with determination. “I sensed something was amiss. Upon confronting her on WeChat, she revealed that the hypnosis would persist until I completed reading and mastering the contents of these six documents!”

Ruan Zhiying spread her hands helplessly, conveying her inability to intervene.

Ruan Bin raised an intrigued eyebrow, suddenly warming up to the idea of Gu Yang. “Is hypnosis capable of such things?”

Meanwhile, Cross pondered deeply, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. “So hypnosis can be utilized in this manner…”

Ruan Meng’s muscles tensed as she caught her mother’s half-smile, an ominous feeling creeping over her.

Reluctantly, Ruan Meng dedicated a month to reading through the six documents provided by Gu Yang. Yet, she couldn’t deny the invaluable content Gu Yang had compiled; the techniques were incredibly useful, surpassing the effectiveness of her foreign language tutoring.

Furthermore, Gu Yang’s subtle psychological cues kept her focused, significantly boosting her efficiency. She achieved twice the results with half the effort.

In the end, Ruan Meng found herself begrudgingly admitting defeat. Unable to resist Gu Yang’s hypnosis, she resigned herself to accepting it.

As late spring approached in May, Jin City was adorned with blossoms in full bloom.

Under the collaborative efforts of Gu Jin and Feng Jue, Gu Yang achieved an impressive score of 745 points, securing the top spot overall.

However, it was important to note that this was achieved with Gu Jin and Feng Jue deliberately holding back.

Neither of them was concerned with claiming the first position; their sole objective was to assist Gu Yang in improving her results.

Gu Yang felt somewhat helpless about the situation. She knew that Gu Jin and Feng Jue weren’t taking the exam seriously and feared their nonchalant attitudes might prevail during the college entrance examination. Thus, she addressed them with earnestness,

“Sister, Ah Jue, please don’t take it easy on us during the college entrance examination. I believe we’re all capable of achieving the best results.”

“Mm,” Gu Jin responded softly, her commitment evident.

Then she had to tackle another task: writing an additional essay for the college entrance examination.

Throughout this period, her Chinese teacher incessantly reminded her after every class about the importance of composing an essay for the exam. Ruan Meng grew weary of hearing it.

Feng Jue, on the other hand, nodded obediently, pledging, “I’ll follow Sister’s instructions. I’ll strive to earn as many marks as Sister deems necessary.”
