I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

Chapter 49

Chen Hao hung up on the phone and did not return to the dormitory. Instead, he headed straight to the north field.

Of course, Chen Hao was still holding onto the new clothes he bought for Su Tongxin in his arms.

The packaging was very exquisite.

Chen Hao was looking for an excuse to give the clothes to Su Tongxin later.

If he was upfront and said he fancied the person and gave the person a gift which would have worked perfectly for girls like Yang Xia or Zheng Qiangian.

However, that would not work for Su Tongxin.

Instead, it might ultimately be self- defeating.

Furthermore, Chen Hao was also curious as to what kind of friends Su Tongxin wanted to introduce to him.

Yet, when Chen Hao arrived outside the site, the scene he saw stunned him.

Su Tongxin was there. She was sitting on top of a stage outside the examination site with her back facing Chen Hao.

The thing that stunned Chen Hao was the guy who was sitting right beside Su Tongxin.

Both of Su Tongxin’s arms were wrapped around the guy’s arms intimately.

Both of them were leaning on each other and joking around.

Boom!

Chen Hao felt like he was struck by light.

The suffocating feeling struck him out of the blue.

Both his heart and mind were shaken!

Su Tongxin has a boyfriend?

Chen Hao’s heart went cold.

He had finally gathered up the courage to pursue a girl he liked, who was also kind hearted.

On his way here, Chen Hao even visualized the possible reactions of Su Tongxin when she saw the gift, wondering if she would be surprised or would she realize his intention and gracefully turn him down.

He also thought about the possible actions he could take if she really rejected him.

At the end of the day, Chen Hao concluded that it was more than likely Su Tongxin would accept the gift.

Chen Hao had never expected to encounter this.

“Hi! Chen Hao, over here!”

While Chen Hao was zoning out, Su Tongxin waved at Chen Hao.

“Chen Hao, why did you stay silent after you arrived? Were you daydreaming?” Chen Hao walked over and saw that Su Tongxin was still holding onto the guy’s hand. She smiled at Chen Hao.

“N-nothing!” Chen Hao looked awkward.

He looked at the guy next to Su Tongxin. He looked about the same age as Chen Hao. He was dressed up well and looked handsome.

He was also rather fair.

Chen Hao felt inferior just by standing next to the guy. He realized that his outfit was really plain.

It makes sense that Su Tongxin, such a beautiful girl, had people pursuing her.

“Chen Hao, let me introduce you to my cousin brother, Su Qi. Su Qi, this is Chen Hao, whom I have been telling you about!”

Su Tongxin held onto Su Qi’s hand and walked down from the stage.

Chen Hao was stunned yet again. Oh damn! So that was Su Tongxin’s cousin? Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Chen Hao felt a sense of relief. He went through an emotional rollercoaster ride.

“Oh! So you are Chen Hao? The one that my cousin has been telling me about?

Brother, you are quite lucky to have won the lottery!”

Su Qi casually smiled.

Yet, he could not hide the look of contempt within his eyes.

Any normal person would react this way too.

He was planning to discuss certain matters with his cousin but she wanted to introduce a friend to him.

Su Qi heard from Su Tongxin that Chen Hao was a decent person.

He also heard about Chen Hao winning a lottery.

In Su Qi’s mind, he did not mind getting to know someone who was rather rich as well.

However, he did not expect Chen Hao to be dressed up like this.

Damn! Don’t tell me this guy came out from the rural areas?

He does not look rich at all.

Su Qi was extremely disappointed. “Hello, I am Chen Hao!”

Chen Hao nodded and stretched out his arm, preparing to shake hands with Su Qi.

“Alright, cousin. I have seen your friend and now I have to get back to school first. So we shall proceed with the present that we agreed on for Grandma’s birthday next month. I will make a move first!”

Su Qi ignored Chen Hao and placed both his hands into his pockets. He gave a short reply to Su Tongxin and left.

His main purpose today was to discuss the present for their Grandma’s birthday next month.

“Su Qi, you cheeky brat!”

Su Tongxin had always been close with her cousin ever since they were young. Seeing him treat Chen Hao So rudely made her slightly angry as well.

“Chen Hao, I am sorry. My cousin acts like this all the time. I will reprimand him!”

Su Tongxin apologized.

Chen Hao awkwardly pulled back his outstretched hand and said, “It’s okay!”

To be honest, although he was ignored by Su Qi, Chen Hao only felt a little furious about it. The feeling was even negligible.

Why was that so?

That was due to the fact that Chen Hao had mistaken Su Qi as Su Tongxin’s boyfriend. He had felt depressed and lost all hope. But it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

This emotional rollercoaster had resulted in Chen Hao feeling a lot better now and he was not going to get angry because of such trivial matters.

“Oh, Chen Hao!”

Su Tongxin’s beautiful eyes turned and looked playfully at Chen Hao. She said,“I saw that you looked as if you were unwell just now. What happened?”

Even though Su Tongxin was introducing Su Qi, she was still able to notice the changes in Chen Hao’s emotions.

“I am fine. I just thought he was your boyfriend!” Chen Hao bitterly smiled.

“What! You mistook my cousin as my boyfriend? Haha!”

Su Tongxin burst into laughter.

“That’s not possible. Actually, I have never been in a relationship before. It could be that I have too high of an expectation for my boyfriend!”

Su Tongxin sat down by the stage.

This topic of conversation intrigued Chen Hao.

“So what are the standards for your boyfriend?”

Chen Hao probingly asked.

“In order to become my boyfriend, there are a few requirements. Firstly, he must be charming. It does not matter if he is rich or poor but he must be elegant! Secondly, he has to look decent and not too ugly.

Thirdly, he must be kind-hearted and loyal to his other half. As for the fourth point…”

“There’s still more to it?”

Chen Hao was having a headache.

He could only fulfill half out of the three criteria she had listed.

In terms of looks, Chen Hao was rather confident with himself.

As for charm and elegance, to be honest, Chen Hao also felt that he was quite a loser.

He had already turned into a rich second generation heir, yet he did not possess the confidence of other rich heirs.

This was the glaring shortcoming of Chen Hao!

It looks like I cannot continue lying low anymore!

Chen Hao thought.

Chen Hao had planned to give the present to her, but after some thought, he decided to put off the idea.

Su Tongxin sounded casual when she was listing her criteria. However, deep down in her heart, that truly was what she was looking for.

Chen Hao knew that he had not fulfilled all of the criteria yet. Thus, it would be a challenging task to pursue her.

Why not start off from being friends? What is the hurry?

Therefore, for the next few days of driving practice, Chen Hao treated Su Tongxin as a friend. He no longer had the notion 0 making her his girlfriend.

He treated her only as a friend.

They built a strong rapport and Su Tongxin could talk to Chen Hao about anything.

Chen Hao even suspected that Su Tongxin mentioned the criteria on purpose. Perhaps she wanted to hint at him that he should stop pursuing her and that it was better if they stayed friends!

Was that considered turning him down gracefully?

But today, something happened when the both of them attended the examination….

They had originally planned to return to school together after the exam.

Yet, after Chen Hao was done with the exam, he could not seem to locate Su Tongxin.

Chen Hao gave her a call but her cell phone was turned off!

There were two chances for the examination. Even if Su Tongxin retook the exam a second time, she should have been out after such a long while.

At this moment, Chen Hao just so happened to recognize a boy from the same group as Su Tongxin. The boy walked out with his head low and looked defeated.

As such, Chen Hao went over and questioned him.

“Oh! You are referring to the beautiful girl?

She did not attend the examination. Just as the examination was about to start, she received a phone call, then she left in a hurry!”

A beautiful girl like Su Tongxin was always going to be the centre of attention no matter where they went.

Chen Hao was not surprised that this guy also took notice of Su Tongxin.

Chen Hao wondered what could have happened to Su Tongxin. She did not say a word and left in a hurry. Her cell phone was also turned off.

Could something have happened to her?

Chen Hao thought deeply and ultimately decided to give Jiang Weiwei a call.

“Oh, Chen Hao. Why are you so concerned about Tong Xin? Did you really think you could pursue her after striking a lottery? Let me tell you, that is not going to happen! Don’t even think about it! She is out of your league!”

It was obvious that Jiang Weiwei held a grudge against him. She still could not let go of the fact that he humiliated her in Home cook Kitchen Restaurant.

She bombarded Chen Hao as soon as the phone was picked up.

“Do you know where Su Tongxin went? Tell me! I will repay you in the future. I will give you clothes from LV as a present!”

Chen Hao calmly replied. He dared not give Su Tongxin the clothes that Lin Yiyi gave him, so now was a good opportunity to give it to Jiang Weiwei instead.

The most important matter to Chen Hao was Su Tongxin’s sudden disappearance. He was really afraid that something had happened to her….

It was not to pursue her but as a friend, Chen Hao could not sit idly and not be concerned.

“Are you serious? Can you afford LV? The clothes over there cost more than 10,000!” Jiang Weiwei was surprised.

“Yes, yes! I will definitely give them to you in a while!”

“Alright. Seeing that you finally know how to honor me, I will let you know. Sigh… I also just found out about it. Something has happened to Tongxin’s family. Her family business failed and it looks like they are about to be bankrupt. Her family needed her to go back!”
