Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!

Chapter 457 - 185 Take back everything that belongs to me

The girl in purple is surnamed Yu, Yu Ruohuan, the eldest young lady of the Yu family in Jingzhou.

In the morning, Gao Yuyue learned this information from Cheng Xuyuan.

She simply didn’t expect that Yu Ruohuan and Gu Bichen were also old acquaintances.

Moreover, since Gu Bichen is from Jingzhou, it’s possible he belongs to the Gu family among the Yu, Wen, Gu, and Leng aristocratic families. None of these top scholars from outside have simple backgrounds.

It seems Gu Bichen is also very good at hiding himself.

Gu Bichen’s expression is gentle and courteous, neither overly familiar nor excessively distant, maintaining an excellent balance.

"Long time no see."

Jing Zhan observed him with a complex expression.

The Gu family has been deeply rooted in the field of scientific research for generations and is extremely low-key, never attending socialite banquets. Though they don’t fit in, no one dares to look down on them; even the Yu family must show them respect.

Because the Gu family holds the most cutting-edge core scientific talent and research results, both the Yu and Leng families have areas relying on the Gu family, so they naturally dare not offend them and must even treat them well.

The De Ren Middle School in Jingzhou was founded a century ago by the ancestors of the Gu family. Gu Bichen and Yu Ruohuan both entered De Ren Middle School in their junior high years, and so did Jing Zhan and Jing Huan.

The Gu family is a very large family, tracing their ancestors back a thousand years to the renowned scholar Gai Xuze, producing numerous notable scholars and even prime ministers over the centuries. The Gu family can truly be considered an aristocratic family with a legacy spanning a thousand years.

In modern times, the Gu family has made many contributions, and their status is unshakeable. Now, the Gu family has many branches, thriving and flourishing, yet Gu Bichen’s generation is the only direct lineage, and he is the only child of three generations. Thus, Gu Bichen’s preciousness is in no way inferior to that of Yu Ruohuan, the eldest lady of the Yu family.

For as long as Jing Zhan could remember, Gu Bichen had been the child other parents admired, winning some competition first prize today, earning a gold medal tomorrow, a figure of prominence since childhood, to the point where Jing Zhan’s ears were almost calloused from hearing about it.

In the matters of dealing with people and worldly affairs, there’s no flaw to be found in Gu Bichen.

Gu Bichen is such a perfect person, but being too perfect can seem a bit false.

Unlike Brother Runxi, who would rather not speak another word if he doesn’t like someone.

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t understand why Gu Bichen, with his own De Ren Middle School, would choose to study in a backwater like Qingzhou—is there something wrong with his mind?

Brother Runxi transferred to Qingzhou because of their father’s work, but at most, he’ll transfer back next year. Yet Gu Bichen, why did he do it?

"Is she your classmate?" Jing Zhan pointed at Gao Yuyue and said.

Gu Bichen nodded: "Correct."

"Did you hear what she just said? How dare she try to whitewash Sang Kunrou? I suspect she has the inclination for treason. Gu Bichen, you wouldn’t protect her, would you?"

This is a serious accusation being thrown around.

Gu Bichen frowned: "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Nonsense? Sister Yu and Miss Wen just heard it with their own ears, didn’t they? Surely there can be no mistake? Gu Bichen, did you forget the vile things Sang Kunrou did back then? I recall your Gu family suffered a lot because of him, didn’t it? You can’t be a traitor now."

"Enough," Yu Ruohuan interrupted Jing Zhan.

"Perhaps we misunderstood."

Yu Ruohuan looked at Gao Yuyue, lifting her chin slightly, "Classmate, for Bichen’s sake, I won’t hold it against you, but remember, Sang Kunrou’s treason is an indisputable fact. Don’t mislead others because of your subjective opinion."

Being lectured right to her face, how could Gao Yuyue tolerate it, "Who do you think you are? Why are you lecturing me? I believe Sang Kunrou is innocent, so what? If you dare, go ahead and report me to the police and have me arrested, why don’t you? My subjective opinion? Or maybe it’s a case fabricated by someone manipulating the law and making wrongful convictions."

"You... are you out of your mind?"

Yu Ruohuan remained calm, but Jing Zhan was the first to jump up.

"I have reason to suspect you of treasonous tendencies. Just wait, I’ll call the police now and have them investigate your ancestors for three generations."

Yan Lu tugged on Gao Yuyue’s sleeve to signal her to be quiet, then smiled and stepped forward: "Miss Jing, Miss Yu, this is all a misunderstanding. Please be magnanimous and not hold it against my friend; she just speaks without thinking, but she really doesn’t have any malicious intentions."

Jing Zhan paused her hand from dialing, looked up at her obliquely: "And who might you be?"
