Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!

Chapter 1050 - 522: Accumulating Virtue

Gu Chengzhao and Na Amo hurriedly rushed home, and Na Amo couldn’t wait to ask, "Bichen, is An’an really the daughter of Yu Fuli? What’s going on?"

Gu Bichen patiently explained everything to Gu Chengzhao and Na Amo.

Na Amo and Gu Chengzhao looked at each other, speechless for a while.

"No wonder when I first saw An’an, I felt she looked familiar, but I never connected her to Professor Yu’s family. It turns out she is the daughter of Yu Fuli and the real granddaughter of Uncle Yu and Aunt Qiu."

Na Amo laughed, "Her talent in physics must be hereditary, fabulous."

Gu Chengzhao also sighed, "Indeed, that’s so unexpected."

Madam Gu said, "I was just telling Bichen earlier to bring An’an home for a meal when he’s free. With her, our family’s agreement with Yisen back then would finally be honored."

Gu Bichen looked expectantly at Na Amo.

Na Amo knew Madam Gu was referring to the verbal marriage agreement between Yisen and his wife from earlier years.

Na Amo thought for a moment and said, "Mom, everything should depend on the children’s own wishes. We can’t force them. Let them be friends for now. If An’an shows interest in the future, then it’s a happy ending. But if she always sees Bichen as a friend, we can’t act like feudal parents arranging marriages. I believe Uncle Yu and Aunt Qiu’s original intention with the marriage agreement was for the children’s happiness. If we disregard their wishes, it goes against the original intent and is unfair to both kids."

Na Amo glanced at Gu Bichen, "Besides, Bichen’s heart is set on someone else, which is unfair to An’an, so let’s leave it be."

Gu Bichen opened his mouth to explain something but eventually fell silent, lowering his eyes in gloom, his hands clenching into fists at his sides.

Madam Gu frowned, eventually letting out a wistful sigh, "Forget it, let the children find their own happiness. Times have certainly changed since then, do as you see fit, I can’t meddle."

In truth, she understood Na Amo’s point; it wasn’t that they looked down on An’an—on the contrary, An’an was too good, and Bichen wasn’t a match for her.

After all, Bichen’s behavior lately has been utterly reckless, making waves with Yu Ruohuan, which no girl would like.

Suddenly, Gu Bichen got up and walked out.

Madam Gu called after him, "Where are you going?"

Gu Bichen replied dully, "I’m going to visit Yu Ruohuan at the hospital."

Na Amo glanced at him but didn’t say anything.

Though Yu Ruohuan didn’t meet her standards for a daughter-in-law, love is unreasonable. As long as Gu Bichen likes her and continues down this path, she won’t say much.

The concern was if this child would be dubious, knowing Shen You’an is his rightful fiancée, he might get distracted and leave Yu Ruohuan for Shen You’an.

If that happens, there would truly be a question about this child’s character.

Madam Gu watched Gu Bichen leave the house and said to Na Amo, "Are you just going to let this child ruin himself? Who knows what sort of spell that girl from the Yu family has put on him. It’s infuriating!"

Na Amo withdrew her gaze, "I respect the children’s wishes."

"As a mother, you’re taking no responsibility, just watching your son walk into the fire?"

"When someone is stubbornly set in their ways, they won’t listen to reason. Sometimes they have to hit a wall and learn their lesson. As parents, all we can do is be there to support them."

Madam Gu sighed deeply, complaining of a headache, and had Chen Feng help her back to her room.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Gu Bichen took a taxi to the hospital.

Yu Ruohuan was hospitalized and given a critical notice, remaining in the ICU with a dire outlook.

But Wei Zhuhua had money; she approached Leng Shan, willing to pay a fortune for the Nine Revitalizing Soul Pills.

Leng Shan naturally declined her offer, for though he had gathered the materials, the process was not simple and would take years. Besides, even if he successfully concocted them, the pills were meant for Amos, not for outsiders.

Leng Shan, however, understanding her maternal compassion, offered his own life-saving pills, although they were not as potent as the Nine Revitalizing Soul Pills, there was hope for Yu Ruohuan to pull through.

"May the heavens take pity on your devoted love for your daughter and grant a miracle."

With Yu Ruohuan at Mingren Hospital, Leng Shan was well aware of her condition, offering comforting words to Wei Zhuhua.

This woman truly had it tough; her fearless stand against Yu Fusheng at the banquet earned her respect.

Perhaps by divine intervention, whether the pills worked or Wei Zhuhua’s sincere prayers to Buddha did, Yu Ruohuan emerged from danger, stabilizing.

Wei Zhuhua promptly went to the Buddha, kneeling fervently, and donated a large sum of incense money to the temple. She promised to help enhance the statue of Buddha at Xiangguo Temple after Yu Ruohuan was discharged.

Wei Zhuhua also made a substantial donation through Yan Xue’s charity, firmly believing that her persistent good deeds would bring blessing to her daughter and that Huanhuan’s illness would heal.

Yu Ruohuan was moved to a private room for observation, yet needed ongoing support with a ventilator, heart monitor, and intravenous therapy.

When Gu Bichen arrived at the ward, there were only two bodyguards like door guardians at the entrance and a young nurse replacing Yu Ruohuan’s IV drips; no one else was present.

The bodyguards recognized Gu Bichen and let him through since he was the young lady’s boyfriend.

Gu Bichen entered the room, and the nurse, thinking he was a family member, advised him, "The patient may experience electrolyte imbalance during this period. Family members should monitor her reactions and contact the nurse station if anything seems amiss."

Gu Bichen squinted slightly, nodding in agreement.

The nurse left with her tray, and the room returned to quiet, save for the occasional sound from the heart monitor indicating its operation.

Gu Bichen stood by the bed, quietly observing Yu Ruohuan’s peaceful sleeping face.

Only at this moment did Yu Ruohuan shed her usual arrogance, revealing extreme vulnerability.

Though death had practically laid its scythe on her neck, how did she manage to escape from death’s grip?

Gu Bichen clenched his fists hard at his sides.

She had a mother willing to do anything for her, even praying so fervently her forehead became swollen.

But why!

The thought of Yu Ruohuan holding leverage over his past, coercing him into vile deeds, even urging him to kill Shen You’an, made his resentment grow rampant like weeds.

He wished fervently that Yu Ruohuan would simply die peacefully, never to open her eyes again. Then his secret would remain hidden forever, with no one left to threaten him.

Gu Bichen’s gaze darkened as he stared at the unconscious Yu Ruohuan, torn between inner conflicts.

Involuntarily, he thought of Shen You’an, his heart skipping a beat.

The young man’s lips curled subtly, cruelly and coldly.

Anyone who obstructs his path to the light should perish!
