Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!

Chapter 1027 - 508: The Truth Revealed

Seeing Shen You’an hold back Yan Lu, who was about to jump out to defend her, Jing Zhan thought she’d found Shen You’an’s soft spot and got even more smug.

Facing someone of Shen You’an’s status, she never knew when to stop; she just had to press the advantage and kick someone when they were down.

"Everyone better watch out and stay away from her. Who knows when she’ll suddenly go crazy and bite you. Then you’ll have to go get a rabies shot—such a hassle..."

The way everyone looked at Jing Zhan carried clear disdain. So young, yet her face and mouth were this vicious. What she said was downright nasty. Where was even a shred of a proper young lady’s dignity and upbringing? How was she any different from those gossiping shrews at the village entrance?

Most people in this world are still normal. Some may look down on those from lower classes out of their own status, but at least they wouldn’t put their malice so sharply on display like Jing Zhan, openly ridiculing others. They couldn’t help feeling some sympathy for Shen You’an. Thinking of her being a martyr’s orphan, then pairing that with such a pleasing face, the balance in their hearts unconsciously tipped toward her.

A noblewoman couldn’t stand it anymore and opened her mouth to rebuke Jing Zhan: "Miss Jing, Miss Shen hasn’t offended you, has she? You were the one who rushed up and insulted her mother as mentally retarded. You’re a daughter yourself—don’t you think this is a bit immoral? You’re still so young, try to accumulate a little virtue in your words."

Jing Zhan slanted a glance at the noblewoman speaking: "Which part of what I said was wrong? Isn’t her mother mentally retarded? Ask her, does she dare refute me?"

Shen You’an’s eyes were icy, the corner of her lips even carrying a trace of pitying mockery as she spoke calmly: "I thought only lower life forms spew words purely on instinct without any filter. Turns out you’re the same. Your level of ignorance is honestly astonishing, to the point that I have no choice but to give you a little crash course in high school biology."

Everyone looked toward the girl speaking. She wasn’t angered by Jing Zhan’s vicious humiliation. Her speech was unhurried and composed, cool and steady, effortlessly drawing everyone’s attention to her words.

"My mother’s intellectual disability was caused by damage to the temporal lobe and hippocampus from a febrile convulsion. That’s organic brain damage, not a hereditary genetic defect. The difference between the two is like a book whose contents were stained by ink versus the printing plate used to print that book having errors to begin with—completely different things."

Shen You’an gave Jing Zhan a flat glance, her eyes full of a king’s contempt: "As for IQ, it’s a polygenic trait jointly influenced by thousands of gene loci. My gene sequence, during meiosis and recombination, perfectly avoided any impact from that accident, and randomly combined into the most advantageous expression. But you, clearly can’t even tell acquired from innate, phenotype from genotype, yet you’re here shooting your mouth off. By your logic, this level of stupid cognitive ability seems far more likely to be what gets inherited by your offspring."

Everyone listened in a daze. Though she used technical terms, they were all from elite backgrounds, not so uneducated that they couldn’t understand. Not only did they get it, they grasped it quite clearly.

This logical reasoning and verbal expression simply crushed Jing Zhan. The difference in level was obvious at a glance—a total stomp.

Yan Lu’s eyes rolled once, and she immediately jumped in to assist: "Our An’an’s genes are exceptional; that’s the only reason she could develop to her current level even in the limited environment her mother could provide. Maybe everyone doesn’t know yet—our An’an is a high-IQ genius who’s bagged countless domestic and international competition awards. She just took the overall championship in the recent Brainstorm contest. Amo Na, Professor Na—you must all have heard of her. Professor Na praised An’an in public as a once-in-a-century genius in physics and strongly invited An’an to join her lab."

Na Amo’s influence in the research community was known to everyone. Her lab was extremely hard to get into, but once you did, not only would your résumé be gilded, you’d benefit for life. Everyone understood the gold content of that.

Finding out that Na Amo had actually taken the initiative to invite Shen You’an into her lab made everyone’s gaze on Shen You’an change.

In this era of rigid class strata, it’s already very hard for people at the bottom to climb up. But there’s one exception: some people are born at the bottom yet win the genetic lottery. Their extraordinary intelligence becomes the core competitive edge that lets them break through class barriers in one leap. That is the fortunate side of being a genius.

And Shen You’an doesn’t just have a genius-level IQ, she also has stunning beauty. Judging by her words and demeanor, she’s not lacking in emotional intelligence or social skills either. If she really enters Professor Na’s lab, her future will be boundless. The value she’ll create will be higher than that of a thousand, ten thousand Jing Zhans.
