Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 891 - 424: No Regrets in Life (Part 3)

Such quarrels play out every day.

The Yu family is in crisis, the case of Sang Kunrou has been reopened for investigation, and the Helian family, which once "betrayed" Sang Kunrou, is also passively dragged into the scrutiny.

Father is upright and incorruptible, drawing a clear line with the Yue family.

Mother is relentless, accusing Father of being cold and heartless, ungrateful and unjust.

"Foolish woman, you’re still blind to the situation at this point. You’re simply beyond reason, hopeless. I won’t stand by and watch you drag the Liu family into the abyss. Give up on this idea."

After saying this, he snorted coldly, unwilling to tangle with her, grabbed the coat on the sofa, and turned to leave.

Liu Qingfeng turned around and saw Liu Runxi, his face showing some embarrassment.

"Try to talk some sense into your mother, tell her not to be so stubborn."

With that, he hurried away, claiming he had matters to attend to at the office.

Helian Yu gritted her teeth in silent resentment: "Liu Qingfeng, the high position you enjoy today is a gift from my family. You ungrateful bastard, the thing I regret most is marrying you, you useless coward." Helian Yu screamed hysterically, no longer resembling the elegant noblewoman of the past, but akin to a shrew cursing on the street.

"How many benefits has the Helian family gained by relying on Father?"

Liu Runxi’s cold words silenced Helian Yu, her gaze falling on him.

"Even you...?"

Liu Runxi didn’t give her a chance to speak, suppressing her interruption: "Back then, the so-called evidence against Sang Kunrou was provided by Helian Hu, his trusted confidant. Now that Sang Kunrou’s old case is being reopened, the Helian family can no longer remain unscathed. Everyone has to pay for their actions."

"What do you know? Your granduncle was turning over a new leaf and selflessly just. Ultimately, he will clear the Helian family’s name."

"Using fabricated evidence as a pledge to attach to the Yu family, now that the tree has fallen and the monkeys have scattered, instead of threatening Father here, it would be better to tell the Helian family to confess early and strive for leniency."

"What nonsense are you spouting, child? The Yu family will not fall, and my Helian family will ultimately be vindicated."

Liu Runxi let out a cold laugh: "Summer insects cannot discuss ice."

Hopeless.

He shook his head in disappointment, turning to go upstairs.

At the moment he turned around, the once hysterical Helian Yu suddenly calmed down, her lips curling into a strange smile.

"Having a great time dating Shen You’an, aren’t you?"

Liu Runxi paused his steps, sharply turned to look at her, alert.

"I knew it, my good son would eventually be captivated by that woman."

Helian Yu sighed: "I know you are resolute; once you’ve made up your mind, not even eight oxen could drag you back. I’m tired too. Someday, invite her over for dinner at home, formally introduce her to us."

When something is abnormal, it’s usually a sign of trouble. Liu Runxi didn’t think Helian Yu had "mended her ways"; on the contrary, he felt a surge of unease, suspecting Helian Yu was plotting something malevolent.

Helian Yu spoke earnestly: "I initially wanted to set you up with Yu Ruohuan, but it’s unfortunate that you two have no fate. Since that’s how it is, I won’t force it. As long as you are happy."

Liu Runxi questioned coldly: "What are you really up to?"

Helian Yu’s calm pupils concealed an overwhelming and frenzied undercurrent, like the agitation before a mountain storm.

"I’ll tell you a big secret about Shen You’an’s background."

Liu Runxi stared at her without blinking.

Helian Yu walked over to him, lowered her voice, and said, "She is Yu Yisen’s granddaughter."

Liu Runxi’s pupils contracted, his breath caught for a moment.

"Do you know what you’re saying?"

Helian Yu laughed: "Even you are shocked, aren’t you? So I say, bring her home; best to keep a firm grip on her. By that time, the Helian family can advance or retreat, ensuring its invincibility." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

This was her cleverly devised strategy to remove the firewood under the cauldron, and the more she thought about it, the more ingenious it seemed.

Liu Runxi shook his head: "Absolutely impossible."

Helian Yu, exasperated, raised her hand to slap him, but seeing her son’s icy face, reluctantly held back.

"Your father and I were just bickering. I’m not foolish; ever since the old lady of the Yu family passed, their fortune has dwindled rapidly, like grasshoppers in autumn that won’t last long. Sang Kunrou’s case has been reopened, and the black hand behind all of this wants to thoroughly destroy the Yu family with it. If Sang Kunrou is truly exonerated, he won’t be a traitor or criminal, and Sang Ziming’s lineage will still maintain the most noble bloodline. Additionally, the four armies of Green Dragon, White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Vermilion Bird will renew their loyalty to the Sang family. And with Sang family blood running through Shen You’an, she will become highly coveted. Seize her heart and use her to completely control the four armies, then clearing the Helian family’s name will just be a matter of her word."

Helian Yu had long planned a way out, even feeling smug about her brilliant idea.

By then, the Liu family could replace the Yu family as the most powerful family in Jingzhou.

The Helian family’s crisis would naturally be resolved.

Her son would also marry the woman he loves, achieving three goals with one stone.
