Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 936: A Flock of Cuckoos in the Magpie’s Nest (Part 3)
What a pity, Gu Bichen has cut off her own path, so she can’t blame me for showing no mercy.
Recently, Yao Huia’s depression vanished without a trace, and she suddenly felt energized and eager to plan an action.
An earth-shattering drama of usurping the nest.
Gu Bichen, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being ruthless enough, just sealing lips but not silencing them.
Never underestimate the power of hatred; it can make someone reckless and destroy everything.

Meanwhile, at the Gu family.
Na Amo and Gu Chengzhao came back late tonight, and dinner went on until almost eight.
At the dinner table, Na Amo asked Gu Bichen about how the program recording went today.
Gu Bichen’s hand, holding the chopsticks, paused briefly, but he kept smiling as usual: "It’s okay. I was a bit nervous at first since I’ve never recorded a variety show, but I got used to it later."
"That’s good. This competition has a literary consultant who’s a former graduate student of mine. She told me that the questions this time are generally harder, especially as they progress, the difficulty increases significantly, covering an unimaginable range. It’s a great exercise for you, seize the opportunity."
"Okay, I’ll read after dinner."
Gu Chengzhao smiled gently: "You don’t have to push yourself too hard; when it comes to learning, it’s about balancing work and rest. Pushing too hard can often backfire."
Gu Bichen lowered his eyes, thinking that geniuses can afford to balance work and rest, but if he relaxes, he risks slipping downhill.
Indeed, Gu Chengzhao and his wife didn’t push him much since he was young, but the invisible pressure is the most fatal. Finding the right balance between tension and relaxation is the hardest.
Once, he got that balance, and the road became smoother, but unfortunately...
"Alright, alright, why talk about studying while eating, it’s off-putting."
Madam Gu interrupted.
Gu Bichen finished his meal tastelessly.
Madam Gu has the habit of watching the news at night; after dinner, she sat in front of the TV, with Gu Chengzhao and Na Amo beside her, while Gu Bichen was in the kitchen cutting fruit for dessert, acting as a filial grandson.
Chen Feng was searching for Madam Gu’s favorite news channel with the remote control. As she flicked past the entertainment channel, Na Amo suddenly said, "Wait a moment."
Chen Feng stopped pressing the remote and turned to look at Na Amo.
Na Amo’s eyes were fixed on the entertainment news report on TV. It was the news of Rong Xianning going to Australia.
Gu Chengzhao was never interested in entertainment news and didn’t know this little celebrity, so he curiously asked, "Do you know him?"
Na Amo frowned slightly. There was a young girl in her lab who was a fan, and during her breaks, she often mentioned her idol. So, she wasn’t unfamiliar with this star, Rong Xianning.
The last time the young girl talked about her idol, he had topped Jingzhou City’s middle school entrance exam, and she had explained Rong Xianning’s grueling schedule before the exam, retreating for less than two months.
She liked smart and hardworking kids, so under the young girl’s recommendation, she watched Rong Xianning’s stage and singing videos. This young boy was talented, diligent, and had flair, and she genuinely felt a sense of fondness and affection, and eventually, she started subconsciously following news about the child.
She just didn’t expect that this child would have such a tragic background—his father owed a gambling debt of one billion, and all the debt piled onto this child, with public opinion also being unfriendly to him.
This made Na Amo feel heartache.
How could there be such irresponsible parents in the world?
He’s only two years younger than her son Bichen, yet their lives are worlds apart. As a mother, Na Amo cannot help but feel heartache.
Madam Gu and Gu Chengzhao were both engrossed in the news, no longer paying attention to why Na Amo would be interested in a celebrity.
The news outlined the ins and outs of Rong Xianning’s gambling debt incident, and while the TV media remained objective without steering public criticism towards Rong Xianning, there was a hint of sympathy between the lines.
Madam Gu was furious: "What irresponsible parents, having a billion in gambling debt borne by a child, how absurd."
Gu Chengzhao sighed: "This child is unfortunate."
Being a celebrity is a double-edged sword for him. As a celebrity, he can earn more to repay the debt, but similarly, being in the spotlight subjects him to the torment of public opinion. This child is still a minor; if he can’t handle this pressure, tragedy will unfold.
Gu Bichen came over with a platter of sliced fruits, a slight smile on his lips: "We have an old saying in Hua Country, ’Dragons birth dragons, phoenixes birth phoenixes, the child of a mouse excels at digging holes.’ Genetic inheritance is quite mysterious; he might have inherited his father’s gambling gene, so there’s no need to sympathize with such a person."
