Liu Runxi slamd the door to his room, his chest heaving rapidly.
What his mother just said about An’an’s background—was it true or false?
If it were true, An’an was Yu Yisen’s biological granddaughter...
No wonder Yu Ruohuan had always been so ruthless towards An’an.
His mother was full of sches regarding An’an’s identity; he absolutely could not let An’an be hurt again.

"What did you say?"
At the dinner table, Elder Mrs. Gu almost fainted in anger at sothing Gu Bichen said.
Gu Bichen held his chopsticks, head lowered, his whole being shrouded in a shadow.
"I like Yu Ruohuan and want to get engaged with her as soon as possible."
He repeated, his tone jumbled and unclear, revealing no emotion.
Elder Mrs. Gu clutched her chest, gasping for air, her old face alternating between pale and flushed.
Chen Feng quickly rushed forward to support the old lady, gently patting her back to calm her.
Once the old lady’s emotions had stabilized sowhat, Chen Feng looked at Gu Bichen in confusion.
"Young master, are you foolish? The Yu family is in deep trouble now. How dare you involve yourself? You’re sullying the century-old reputation of the Gu family."
Elder Mrs. Gu pointed at him with a trembling finger: "Yu family is desperate and always resorts to lowly ans. Tell your grandma, did that girl threaten you? Grandma will stand up for you."
She knew Gu Bichen’s temperant. At the ti, the traps set by the Yu family and Yao Huiya did not ensnare him, and he had publicly embarrassed Yu Ruohuan. It hadn’t been long, so how could he fall for Yu Ruohuan? And even be so eager to get engaged.
If not for so despicable ans of threat from Yu Ruohuan, she would write her surna backwards.
Gu Bichen paused, then said in a heavy tone, "She didn’t threaten ; I sincerely like her."
Elder Mrs. Gu was so angry she rolled her eyes: "Has your recent drop in grades been because of this?"
Gu Bichen remained silent.
Elder Mrs. Gu expressed bitter disappointnt: "Do you know the kind of vile nature the nest of snakes and rats in the Yu family have? Arrogant, ruthless, getting into a marriage alliance with such a family would ruin our Gu family’s century-old reputation. How could I face our ancestors after death?"
Elder Mrs. Gu’s words were sharp and commanding as she stood up, with Chen Feng’s assistance, and walked to Gu Bichen’s side. She softened her tone: "Bichen, if you have any grievances or thoughts, tell grandma. Grandma will help you solve them. Don’t keep it all bottled up inside. Grandma knows you’ve always been an obedient and sensible child. This ti, trust in grandma, okay?"
Gu Bichen looked up at the old woman before him, his eyes filled with complexity. Since he was young, his parents had strict demands on him, fearing he’d bring disgrace to the Gu family’s na. Only grandma genuinely loved and cared for him, worried if he was hungry, thirsty, mishandled relationships with classmates, or bullied outside...
For a mont, he really wanted to blurt out the secret kept deep in his heart.
But he couldn’t.
Once spoken, everything would be irretrievable and there would be no turning back.
He deeply suppressed the secret in his heart, forcing a smile on his lips, but the smile looked stiff.
"Grandma, I really like Ruohuan. She may be a bit domineering, but she promised she’d change."
Elder Mrs. Gu saw his stubbornness and sighed inwardly, fearing he indeed encountered sothing troubling. It seed impossible to extract anything from him.
"When your parents return, you should tell them yourself."
Elder Mrs. Gu instructed Chen Feng, "Call Chengzhao and ask them to co ho quickly."
When Gu Chengzhao and Na Amo hurried ho, they sensed the heavy atmosphere in the living room, exchanged glances, and intuitively felt sothing significant had happened.
Elder Mrs. Gu, after taking her blood pressure dication, had cald down. Seeing the two enter, she snorted coldly, "Let your precious son tell you himself."
Na Amo looked at the silent Gu Bichen sitting on the sofa, her delicate brows furrowed, "What happened?"
Elder Mrs. Gu, seeing Gu Bichen’s dense silence, was so angry she couldn’t help but blurt out, "He’s taken a liking to soone from the Yu family."
Gu Chengzhao and Na Amo were simultaneously shocked. Na Amo asked, "Is it that girl from the Yu family?"
Elder Mrs. Gu replied irritably, "Who else could it be besides her?"
Na Amo’s brows knitted tighter.
She had seen this girl at Old Mrs. Yu’s funeral—arrogant, harsh, lacking etiquette and upbringing. Moreover, her reputation outside was not good. Such a girl was never in her consideration for a daughter-in-law.
Na Amo looked at the silent Gu Bichen, speaking righteously, "Chenchen, I need you to tell personally, is it true?"
Gu Bichen nodded with his head lowered.
"Lift your head up and look at ."
