Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 996 - 498: Discovering the Secret—Turns Out They’re Mother and Son

Rong Xianning and Na Amo sat under the window, their heads turned in conversation, leaving half of their profiles visible in the dim light.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Yan Lu’s mind, and a sentence slipped out before she could stop it.

"Professor Na, your profile looks so much like Xiao Rong’s, especially the nose; even the curve of the bump is identical. There’s such a mother-son resemblance."

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire room fell silent for a few seconds.

Gao Yuyue fiercely pinched Yan Lu’s thigh under the table.

What nonsense are you spouting, bringing up poorly-timed topics?

Yan Lu was reminded by the pain and realized that her previous words were indeed inappropriate.

Professor Na has a biological son, after all.

Na Amo was momentarily stunned, but she wasn’t upset; instead, she meticulously studied the young man’s features.

Her gaze was gentle and sincere, as if admiring a precious work of art. Rong Xianning felt no discomfort, only a sense of gentleness and peace as if bathed in moonlight.

Na Amo smiled: "There is indeed a resemblance in the eyes and eyebrows. No wonder I liked him so much at first sight; there’s a connection in fate. If only I had such an outstanding son as Xianning, but unfortunately, I’m not so blessed."

These words truly flattered Rong Xianning.

Ask the whole world, how many people want to become Na Amo’s child? Combined, they could probably circle the earth multiple times.

However, compared to Gu Bichen, Rong Xianning is indeed more outstanding, but unfortunately, defeated by his background.

The adage that life’s watershed is amniotic fluid is gaining credibility.

Rong Xianning isn’t easily moved, nor does he soften just because of a few kind words, yet the woman before him easily filled his eyes with tears.

He struggled to hold back the tears, determined not to cry in front of so many people, absolutely not.

Na Amo sensed the boy’s emotional turbulence and gently patted the back of his hand. She thought of the scene she witnessed not long ago at the TV station’s back entrance—the woman’s aggressive stance and the young man’s fragility and restraint softened her heart inadvertently.

"If you don’t mind, I can take you as my godson, and from now on, we’ll be family."

She genuinely liked the young man in front of her, sincerely liked him; meeting him felt exceptionally familiar.

Upon learning about his background, her affection turned into empathy, wanting to pull him out of the quagmire and support him as much as she could.

Though investing too much emotion in a stranger might not be rational, she just wanted to follow her heart, not doing anything she would regret later.

Moreover, this young man was worth it.

Rong Xianning was stunned, unable to believe what he heard.

The others in the room were equally surprised.

Yan Lu and Gao Yuyue exchanged glances, Yan Lu whispered: "Really, is Professor Na truly adopting Xiao Rong as her godson? Is it not a joke?"

Gao Yuyue rolled her eyes at her: "Do you think Professor Na is someone who jokes around?"

Yan Lu shook her head, "Professor Na means what she says."

Gao Yuyue murmured: "Rong Xianning has indeed met a benefactor."

Although Professor Na is kind, and Rong Xianning deserving, they underestimate human nature.

Rong Xianning’s troublesome and conniving parents will surely seize the opportunity to exploit him, draining every last drop of his resources, mercilessly.

And Professor Na will also be entangled by this couple, as her kindness and integrity become their leverage, pursued relentlessly until her end.

Never underestimate the vileness of human nature.

Not to mention Professor Na has a biological son, Gu Bichen, who isn’t easy to get along with. How could he tolerate someone of low origin sharing the same status?

These were all potential problems for the future.

In a brief moment, Gao Yuyue thought of so many things, and Rong Xianning, more astute, couldn’t possibly overlook them.

The wisest course of action...

To grasp the benefactor now, leveraging others’ sympathy and softness to achieve success in one bound, and, with a bit of ruthlessness, directly cut ties with those vampire parents.

The young man lowered his eyes in silence, and after a long pause, he looked up, his eyes as clear and pure as if washed by rain, in which Na Amo distinctly saw her reflection.

"Professor Na, I’m really grateful that you think highly of me; it’s my honor. Perhaps many years from now, when I look back at this moment, I will still feel happiness and gratitude, but..."

The boy’s tone changed, making Na Amo’s heart skip a beat.
