Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Chen Dong opened his mouth, trying to organize his thoughts.

But he found that his throat was blocked by an invisible force.

All the words in my heart are trapped inside, difficult to utter.

In the end, it all turned into a heavy sigh, a sigh filled with helplessness and worry.

Chen Dong slowly got up and walked to the other side with slightly heavy steps.

He knew that Chu Mengran needed some alone time at this moment.

Perhaps only in this way could she calm down the turbulent emotions in her heart and regain her composure.

Chen Dong, sitting not far away, had a furrowed brow.

Like a wise man caught in a profound mystery, deep in thought.

Chen Dong's mind was like a movie playing, analyzing Chu Mengran's stepfather frame by frame.

They tried to find out exactly what excessive things he had done to Chu Mengran.

From Chu Mengran's increasingly severe depression to her mother's very obvious protective attitude when I visited Chu Mengran's home last time.

All of this was like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, gradually piecing together a heartbreaking picture in Chen Dong's mind.

Chen Dong felt that Chu Mengran's current situation was very likely due to serious harassment by her stepfather through words or actions.

However, under the protection of Chu Mengran's mother, there should be no actual action taken.

But if we don't stop it, things might get worse...

Thinking of this, Chen Dong felt a strong sense of urgency.

His fists clenched unconsciously, as if he were trying to concentrate all the strength in his body into those fists.

He was eager to do something immediately to help Chu Mengran escape her misery.

However, he felt extremely lost, like a ship lost at sea, not knowing where to begin.

After all, this is someone else's family matter, and he and Chu Mengran are not related by blood.

In this situation, it would be extremely difficult to intervene.

Unlike when I helped my eldest sister and third aunt, who were my relatives and family, I could directly intervene and provide assistance without any reservations.

Chu Mengran's situation was completely different, which filled Chen Dong with helplessness.

He could only ponder deeply in his heart: "What should I do? How can I truly help Mengran and get her out of this predicament?"

After a while, the PE teacher blew his clear and penetrating whistle.

The whistle echoed through the campus, summoning students from Class 6 and Class 8 to assemble.

Chen Dong was originally deeply worried about Chu Mengran's situation.

Upon hearing the whistle, his body reacted instinctively, and he subconsciously took steps toward the direction of the physical education teacher.

However, after only a few steps, Chu Mengran's lonely and sorrowful face appeared clearly in his mind, just like a scene from a movie.

The pain and despair on his face were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Chen Dong's heart.

Chen Dong's heart tightened suddenly, as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

So Chen Dong quickly turned around and hurried towards the spot where Chu Mengran had been standing.

But when Chen Dong was still some distance away from that spot, before he had actually walked over...

His eyes, like keen radar, were the first to detect the anomaly—the spot was empty; Chu Mengran was nowhere to be seen.

Chen Dong's body froze instantly, his facial muscles twitched slightly, revealing a look of panic.

His mind seemed to be running at high speed, and he frantically looked around, his eyes filled with anxiety and fear.

Like a lost fawn, it frantically searched every corner of the playground.

Chen Dong's gaze swept across every inch of the playground, every corner, and every possible hiding place.

However, Chu Mengran was still nowhere to be seen.

Chen Dong was completely panicked, as if a surging black tide had suddenly risen in his heart.

A strong, ominous suspicion gripped his heart like the claws of a demon.

Chen Dong's heart suddenly raced, its rhythm like an out-of-control war drum, pounding incessantly as if it were about to burst out of his throat.

In this extreme fear and worry, Chen Dong's body seemed to be injected with a powerful force, and he ran towards the rooftop of the teaching building.

"You absolutely must make it! You absolutely must make it!"

"Mengran, please don't commit suicide!"

"I could stop you in my past life, and I will never let you commit suicide in this life!"

Guo Miao noticed that Chen Dong didn't gather as usual, but instead ran off like a gust of wind.

Guo Miao's clever eyes darted around, as if countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

"Dong-ge is so cunning, he skipped PE class without even calling his brothers."

Soon, a sly smile appeared on Guo Miao's face, a smile that carried a hint of curiosity and mischief.

After chuckling, Guo Miao also took off running.

And coincidentally, Guo Miao was running in the direction of the teaching building.

At this very moment, the students from Class 6 and Class 8 were still leisurely gathering towards their physical education teacher.

Their faces were flushed from exercise, and they were still laughing and joking with each other, completely unaware of Chu Mengran's disappearance.

Little did they know that in some corner of the campus, a thrilling, life-or-death event was about to unfold.

On the rooftop, Chu Mengran stood alone at the edge, like a wounded lone goose.

At this time, students are either in the classroom or having physical education class on the playground.

The rooftop where Chu Mengran was located was on the other side of the playground.

This secluded corner seems to have been forgotten by the world, shrouded in an invisible barrier, and would not be easily noticed by anyone in the school.

Chu Mengran stared blankly at the street outside the school. Bicycles came and went like flowing water, and pedestrians hurried along, everyone busy with their own lives.

A complex mix of emotions welled up within her, like a surging tide that overwhelmed her.

Chu Mengran murmured softly, "Because I'm prettier, and since I'm not related to my stepfather by blood, he developed inappropriate thoughts about me, putting my mother in a difficult position."

“If this family didn’t have me, it wouldn’t be like this.”

"My mother won't argue with my stepfather for the past year just to protect me."

“My mother is not treated roughly by my stepfather sometimes because of me.”

"My existence is a mistake, even though I want to live, to continue seeing this still-beautiful world, and..."

Chen Dong's image involuntarily surfaced in Chu Mengran's mind.

A glimmer of hope appeared on that face that had been filled with despair.

But whenever she thinks about how her mother and stepfather would be very loving without her, she realizes that her mother is not around.
