Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 937 - 4: A Farce of Usurpation

The young man’s tone was filled with a sense of superiority and indifference.

Na Amo frowned at him.

"Bichen, what you said is incorrect. Modern genetics has long proven that genes only account for 50% of influencing factors; personal choices and experiences are the key variables. Everyone has equal development rights. Judging ability by heritage violates the foundation of modern civilization, which is the belief that all men are created equal. Differences in ability should stem from effort and choice, not bloodline."

Na Amo sternly educated Gu Bichen.

Gu Bichen lowered his head, looking as if he was being educated.

He regretted it deep down, realizing he had spoken thoughtlessly.

Gu Chengzhao was also disappointed in Gu Bichen’s earlier remarks: "Bichen, your statements were full of bias. I don’t know when you developed such extreme views. Essentially, you’re espousing a theory of lineage, equivalent to the feudal belief that ’nobles are forever noble.’ I’m surprised that a young person like you, supposedly accepting modern thoughts, would still believe in such things. If society believed that ’a rat’s offspring can only dig holes,’ it would deprive them of educational and employment opportunities, ultimately validating prejudice and forming a vicious cycle. This is systemic injustice."

Gu Chengzhao gazed deeply at Gu Bichen, making Gu Bichen feel guilty.

"According to your argument, if you achieve anything in the future, is it solely due to the Gu family’s blood in your veins, with your own efforts being unimportant?"

Gu Bichen suddenly froze, his face turning slightly pale.

Gu Chengzhao’s tone grew more severe: "Everyone is a unique individual. Genes are not the only determining factor. You underestimate the human will to overcome environmental limitations and overestimate your so-called noble lineage."

Gu Bichen lowered his head, "Mom and Dad, I know I was wrong."

Madam Gu wasn’t pleased seeing them sternly educating their son, wanting to say something but was stopped by Chen Feng, who shook her head.

Madam Gu pressed her lips together and could only remain silent.

She silently reminded herself not to be a grandmother who dotes on her grandchildren since doting only harms them.

Besides, Bichen’s words just now also made her uncomfortable.

That child Rong Xianning is so admirable. It wasn’t his fault to have a gambling father. He couldn’t choose his birth, and it’s already tragic enough. Why add discrimination on top of that?

Na Amo softened her tone: "Recognizing your mistake and correcting it makes you a good child. Did you and Rong Xianning participate in the show recording together?"

Gu Bichen nodded.

"The child’s life has been full of hardships, but he strives forward positively. I like him very much. When you interact with him, help him as much as you can. His eyes hold an indomitable spirit; the cage of class cannot confine a heart that wants to soar. He will have a bright future. Befriending such a person, you’ll learn a lot. Everyone’s starting point might be different, but the brush to paint one’s life remains in their own hands. I hope you’ll someday understand the painstaking efforts your father and I exert."

Gu Bichen internally scoffed. Befriend Rong Xianning? Dream on.

On the surface, he could only appear compliant and obedient.

But deep down, his resentment towards Rong Xianning grew. Does the whole world have to like him? Even his parents favor him—a child of a gambler—what right does he have?

"Alright, Mom and Dad, I understand. I’ll reflect deeply on my actions and keep your words in my heart."

Na Amo, seeing his seemingly obedient attitude, wasn’t pleased but rather concerned.

Gu Bichen returned to his room.

Only then did Madam Gu seize the chance to remark to the couple: "You two irresponsible parents, finally see the child once only to lecture him instantly. If I were Bichen, I’d feel terrible inside."

Gu Chengzhao said helplessly: "Mom, we’ve agreed before that you shouldn’t interfere with the child’s education. Your way of spoiling isn’t loving, it’s harming him. His thoughts are quite dangerous now. Without strict education, regret will come too late when it leads to trouble."

Madam Gu muttered: "Stop being alarmist, what kind of trouble could arise? I know my grandson better than anyone."

Na Amo commented: "Looks like we’ll need to come back often. We should’ve taken his education seriously after the incident with Yu Ruohuan. It’s never too late to mend the fold after a sheep is lost."

Gu Chengzhao nodded: "Exactly, this child can’t go astray. We, as parents, must take responsibility."

After Na Amo and her husband returned to their room, Madam Gu complained: "These two, acting all professor-like at home, squandering this rare meeting with their son just to scold him. The child must feel so wronged inside."

Chen Feng consoled: "Madam, the gentleman and lady were right. As the sole heir of the Gu family, character is most important. This has been the Gu family’s longstanding edict. The young master’s recent statements were quite dangerous, no wonder the gentleman and lady are angry. If it continues to develop..."

Chen Feng frowned: "It’s hard not to suspect that the young master has been influenced by the girl from the Yu family. After all, the Yu family flaunts what they lack, and the young master, being young, is easily influenced."

Madam Gu took this seriously: "You’re right. I’ve been narrow-minded; education must not be taken lightly."

Chen Feng sighed: "Moreover, look at that star named Rong—compared to him, the young master seems to live blissfully in a honey pot. The only hardship he might have faced is academic, though, as a Gu family member, he doesn’t even have to endure academic hardships. This detached lifestyle is what’s led to his prejudiced thinking."

Madam Gu nodded in agreement: "This child is extremely fortunate yet uses his sense of superiority to judge others’ lives. It’s inherently unfair and indicates a lack of education. I’ll stay out of it in the future and let his parents handle it. Fortunately, this couple seems attentive to their son."

The fates of people are truly worlds apart.

At that moment, Madam Gu felt a tinge of sentiment.

She thought of that young star, Rong Xianning: "Do you find that child very familiar-looking? I felt an immediate warmth upon seeing him. Is there more information about him? Show me."

Chen Feng laughed: "I also find that child familiar-looking. At first glance, there’s even some resemblance in the eyebrows and eyes with you, Madam. This means you are destined to be connected."

Madam Gu laughed heartily and said, "I want to be his grandmother fan."
