Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 894 - 425: Cruel Truth (Part 3)

Na Amo shouted fiercely, startling Gu Bichen, who trembled and looked up suddenly.

Na Amo took a deep breath, calming her emotions, "Your father and I are not feudal people, nor did we ever intend to arrange your marriage. We even considered that if you find a girl of ordinary background, as long as you like her, we will respect your wishes. But Yu Ruohuan, absolutely not."

Na Amo has always been the image of a tough and efficient woman outside, but at home she is a gentle and kind mother. However, at this moment, facing her suddenly rebellious son, she finally tore off her facade, revealing a forceful side.

"Your recent drop in grades is probably because you’re in a relationship, right, Bichen? Your father and I have always thought you are a self-disciplined and sensible child, so we never pushed you like other parents do, giving you complete freedom. But unexpectedly, during your most crucial learning phase, you are delaying your studies because of a relationship. You’re only sixteen, your thoughts aren’t mature yet. As long as you break up with her now and focus on studying, your father and I will forgive you."

Gu Chengzhao continued, "It’s alright to make mistakes. No one’s life is flawless, but as long as you acknowledge and correct them, you’ll still be a good child."

Gu Bichen looked at the three people before him, all of them forcing him, but he had no other choice.

"Ruohuan promised me, after being with me, she would change those bad habits and become a future daughter-in-law you would approve of."

Na Amo didn’t expect that after she had advised him so earnestly, he would still be so stubborn.

Feeling extremely agitated, "What kind of potion has she fed you? I’ll tell you, there is no other choice, you must break up with her. Uncle Gu, take him to the room and confiscate his phone and computer. Release him only when he has cleared his head."

The Gu family’s butler, Uncle Gu, stepped forward with two bodyguards, "Excuse me, young master."

Gu Bichen took one last deep look at Gu Chengzhao and Na Amo, said nothing more and did not resist, obediently went upstairs.

His behavior was so abnormal that Na Amo felt something was amiss. She said to her husband, "Why do you think Chenchen is doing this?"

Madam Gu snorted coldly, "For what else, all those low tricks of the Yu family have been used on my grandson. This time, I won’t spare them."

Na Amo analyzed, "Mother means Yu Ruohuan has plotted against Chenchen?"

"Do you think there could be another possibility? You know Chenchen’s character, but this child is still young, pretending he can handle everything alone, naive and foolish."

Madam Gu pointed at the two, mercilessly reprimanding them, "You two as parents, always busy with work, have you ever truly cared about Chenchen? If you paid more attention to him, would he distrust you? Would these things happen? Ultimately, it’s still you as parents who have failed."

Na Amo and Gu Chengzhao meekly accepted the criticism, not uttering a word in defense.

Mother was right; they were indeed preoccupied with work, neglecting their son.

Madam Gu spoke grimly, "For now, we can only lock him up and force him to break up with that girl, hoping he will figure it out himself."

Gu Chengzhao said, "This is nothing more than the Yu family’s desperate move, their evil plans must not succeed."

Anyone could see the calamity about to befall the Yu family, and now in desperation, they wanted to involve the Gu family; Sima Zhao’s intentions were clear to all.

Na Amo’s face was extremely grim, "Such a vicious scheme."

Madam Gu, seasoned and perceptive, instructed the two, "Do not give any hint of attention to the Yu family’s affairs. We just need to restrain Chenchen, the rest has nothing to do with us."

Uncle Gu removed all electronic devices from the room, advised Gu Bichen to rest well, and left, closing the door.

Gu Bichen sat dazedly on the bed, staring at the blue sky outside the window, lost in thought.

He could not refuse Yu Ruohuan, yet he couldn’t resist his parents.

So let it be; he had tried his best, and he had met his obligations to Yu Ruohuan. The rest was beyond his control.

Gu Bichen fell onto the bed, curling into a ball, allowing himself to sink into boundless darkness.

"Chenchen, you are the sole heir of the Gu family. You should cultivate the virtue of a gentleman, have a broad mind, inherit the Gu family’s aspirations, and carry forward its legacy...."

"Gu Bichen scored first again; truly worthy of the Gu family heir...."

"Gu Bichen, your grades have dropped too fast, have you forgotten your identity? You are the heir to the Gu family, do your grades live up to the family name...."

Gu Bichen suddenly opened his eyes, awakened from a nightmare.

The five words ’Gu family heir’ have been like a mountain pressing on his shoulders since he was conscious; he must study twice as hard to live up to the family name, honor his surname.

Thus he dared not relax for a moment, studying every night until midnight, pretending that his excellent results came effortlessly due to high talent.

He thought perhaps he had just not inherited his parents’ good genes, yet pretending as such was quite exhausting, but there was no choice; this was his responsibility as the Gu family heir.

The night was deep, and darkness enveloped the entire room.

The boy laughed bitterly; so, it turns out, the truth was so cruel.

His life had plunged into darkness the day he learned of his lineage.

In the pitch-blackness, the boy’s eyes ignited a flame, a fire of desire and ambition.

He could not passively endure; he must actively control his destiny, extinguishing all threats and dangers whilst still in their infancy.

Yu Ruohuan, you pulled me into this abyss of pain, so I will start with you.

The boy’s lips curved into a sinister smile, wicked as if from a devil in hell.
