I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

Chapter 725

Everyone was dumbfounded when those words came out from Chen Hao’s mouth.

His speech might or might not have been romantic, but it caused a huge uproar within the class in an instant.

There were even students who whipped out their phones to document what was going on.

Su Tongxin’s face had turned as red as a ripe apple.

However, Chen Hao simply turned away and left the classroom after his little declaration of love.

As she watched him leave, Su Tongxin felt an indescribable emotion, but she did not know what triggered it.

Naturally, news of the incident quickly spread across the whole school as soon as the class ended.

After all, the scene of a dirt-poor kid chasing after a charming girl only existed in movies.

This had also boosted the confidence of all the boys that had a crush on Su Tongxin. There were so many of them who wanted to give Su Tongxin their love letters that it almost formed a queue.

“Hmph, what is there to brag about, Su Tongxin? I really don’t get why all these boys are treating you like you’re some sort of goddess. They must be blind!”

Su Tongxin could not stand being in class any longer, and had planned to go out with her good friends after the lesson.

At this moment, a classmate of hers glanced at Su Tongxin indignantly before muttering under her breath. Granted, she herself was quite good-looking.

She was Xu Meimei, a well-known student in the Broadcasting Department.

Evidently, the more popular the girl, the more jealousy she had. This was because she had been so used to having the spotlight all to herself. Thus, when everyone started paying attention to someone else, she could not help but feel upset about it.

“What’s wrong with the boys treating Su Tongxin like a goddess, Xu Meimei? Unlike her, no boys are attracted to you.”

All this while, Xu Meimei had always treated Su Tongxin harshly. It was only natural for Su Tongxin’s friends to be on bad terms with her as well.

“Who says no boys like me? Hahaha, what a joke! Let me tell you, the number of boys chasing after me is absurd. Moreover, these boys are rich and reputable, unlike Su Tongxin, who only attracts poverty-stricken boys like Chen Hao. I couldn’t care less about a boy like that!” said Xu Meimei.

“I know you, Xu Meimei. You’re just jealous that Su Tongxin is the hottest topic of the school right now. If you are jealous, just admit it! Why bother putting on such a show?” said another friend.

“Hot topic? It will be the school’s 50th anniversary in three days’ time. I will be the emcee while Su Tongxin is only a substitute. Hmph, we’ll see who is the beauty queen after that. Everything will be clear soon, just wait and see!”

It looked like a quarrel was about to break out, but Su Tongxin pulled her friends away, leaving the scene hurriedly.

She did not want to waste her saliva on trivial things like this.

“Just you wait, Su Tongxin!”

Xu Meimei glared viciously at Su Tongxin as they left her sight. She took out her phone, searched for her godfather’s number, and immediately rang him up!

Meanwhile, Chen Hao had gone to a branded boutique to buy himself a new outfit after leaving the Broadcasting Department.

He did not want to be mocked as a poor kid anymore.

It was already a pleasant surprise to be able to reunite with Tongxin this time, even if it was only for a brief moment.

His utmost priority now was to awaken the Way of Heaven once again.

Other than visiting Tongxin briefly when he had spare time, Chen Hao spent most of his time waiting at the Cloud Hill Mansion.

Even though his transformation had raised a lot of questions from his schoolmates, it no longer mattered toward Chen Hao, because he had revealed himself as a wealthy second generation—one at the very top level.

This had caused a huge commotion in the school; countless girls had begun approaching him after hearing about his reputation.

However, Chen Hao rejected every single one of them.

Apart from that, there was another thing that bothered Chen Hao.

Chen Hao was constantly aware of his surroundings. Even when he was resting in his hostel at night, he was still in a half-alert mode.

Just like what his Uncle Chen had told him before, apart from Uncle Chen himself, there was another person secretly watching him, and Chen Hao could clearly feel his presence.

In the beginning, he had only secretly approached Chen Hao at random times of the day. However, it has been three days since Chen Hao revealed his identity.

Chen Hao noticed that the person had started to spy on him more and more frequently.

As Chen Hao walked around the school grounds, he unleashed his spiritual sense, immediately feeling the presence of two people who had been trailing behind him for quite some time.

One of them was the mysterious man, while the other person was Uncle Chen.

“Is he the person who destroyed my Foundation? It must be him, for he is the closest person I have been in contact with!” he said to himself.

But who was the person exactly?

This was the best chance for him to find out who the person was.

However, Chen Hao was worried that he would be no match for the mysterious man.

I hope that you’ll still follow me after I have awakened my Foundation. I will figure out who you are! Chen Hao thought to himself.

It was the school’s anniversary today.

Chen Hao still remembered how Tongxin was one of the emcees of the celebration back then. However, Chen Hao only thought that she was mesmerizing at the time, and had never expected her to become his girlfriend in the future.

Then, he made his way to the celebration venue.

There was already a huge crowd at the venue, but the organizers were delighted to have their hands tied up with work.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Tongxin, there is something I must tell you!”

One of the middle-aged directors called Su Tongxin to the side, who was busy memorizing her script.

“What is it, Director Yang?” she asked curiously.

“I’m afraid you won’t be going on stage today!” replied Director Yang.

“Huh, why not?”

Su Tongxin was astonished.

“I’m sure you know all about the discussion surrounding you and the boy who confessed to you in the last two days. The school is afraid that if they allow you to go on stage, it will leave a bad impression on us. I hope you understand where this is coming from!”

“B-But I…”

Su Tongxin was really disappointed.

“There are no but’s. You have quite the audacity to be here after a boy like that confessed to you. Are you trying to embarrass the school and drag us down as well?”

At this moment, Xu Meimei walked up to them, talking in a sarcastic tone.

Her eyes gleamed with pleasure. This was obviously Xu Meimei’s doing. Her godfather was a reputable figure in the business industry. Here, he was like the ultimate boss.

It would not be a big deal for him to handle such matters if Xu Meimei simply asked him to do so.

Even more so, he had personally visited the school to see her today.

With the help of her godfather, it was only natural for Xu Meimei to become the star of the day.

“Xu Meimei, I know you are the one behind this. You’re despicable!” Su Tongxin yelled out furiously.

“Don’t put the blame on me. Too bad I have a great godfather, whereas you have nothing!”

Xu Meimei felt delighted when she saw the look of disappointment on Su Tongxin’s face.

“My stepfather will be supporting me from the crowd. I shall not waste my breath talking to you. Bye, just go down and be a good audience member!”

As soon as she finished talking, Xu Meimei turned to walk away.

Although Xu Tongxin was infuriated, there was nothing she could do to change the situation.

She tossed her script aside before walking out the back.

However, what unfolded next shocked Xu Meimei and Su Tongxin to the core…
