Chapter 251 Knowing the Face but Not the Heart

mely surprised; however, the expression on Xie Yujia’s face confirmed that it was true."Since that’s the case, Ren will go with us. Principal Lu, you and your two ‘granddaughters’ can join us for dinn...Chapter 251: Knowing the Face but Not the Heart

"Yes, that's right," Xia Yuji said softly. Hao Ren smiled helplessly.

The school bus arrived at Lingzhao High School.

This was exactly when the students were dismissed from class, so the school gate was bustling with activity. A Rolls-Royce Phantom parked right at the entrance of the school, forcing the students coming out of the gates to detour around it.

Zeng Yitao, exuding an air of arrogance, walked through the crowd like a crane among chickens.

"Mm-hmm, that's Zeng Yitao’s. He’s really handsome."

“It’s said that he received many love letters and chocolates on his second day in school.”

Two junior high girls passed by Hao Ren and Xia Yuji, excitedly discussing as they went.

Xia Yuji turned to look at the girls and smiled. Girls whispering about handsome boys in their class or from neighboring classes was a typical scene in middle school that would be fondly remembered later on.

Just then, Zhao Huizi came out of the school.

The speculations started up again immediately.

"It’s said that the handsome senior who transferred to our school was actually after Zhao Huizi. They say their families have an engagement arranged."

“So it is.”

"You don't know. He went to the junior high section today to look for Zhao Yanzi, but was chased away by her. They must have had some kind of conflict. Anyway, I heard their families are betrothed."

"No way! Isn't Zhao Yanzi in Class 2 Students from that class are all pretty poor, right Look at Zeng Yitao; he's picked up and dropped off by a Rolls-Royce every day. How could they be matched"

"I don't know about that. It might be because their families knew each other before, and Zhao Yanzi is quite pretty. So Zeng Yitao set his sights on her, leading to the betrothal. Anyway, given how rich Zeng Yitao's family is, Zhao Yanzi’s family would definitely want to climb up the social ladder."

Hearing their idle chatter, Hao Ren was at a loss.

How could West Sea be richer than East Sea Apart from its specialty of West Sea Xuan Ice, West Sea couldn't compare with East Sea in other resources. In terms of wealth, West Sea wouldn’t even reach half of what East Sea has. "Azi, do you want me to give you a ride" As Zeng Yitao was about to get into the Rolls-Royce, he asked Zhao Yanzi who had just come out of the school gate.

Although his voice wasn’t loud, under the attention of everyone around him, such an invitation must have been seen by everyone.

Zhao Yanzi completely ignored him and went around the long hood of the Rolls-Royce, preparing to cross the road. If it hadn't rained, Zhao Guang or the elders would generally not come to pick her up; she usually took a car home herself.

"Azi!" Hao Ren, standing on the opposite side of the road, waved at the school gate.

Hearing Hao Ren's voice, Zhao Yanzi initially smiled happily, thinking that she could finally get rid of Zeng Yitao's harassment. However, upon suddenly seeing Xie Yujia beside Hao Ren, her face froze.

"Who is that person"

"I don't know. I've seen him come to the school gate several times to pick up Zhao Yanzi."

"No, he came to the school before too. He seems to be from North City No. 1 High School. People used to say that he was Zhao Yanzi's boyfriend."

"Oh! I remember now! It must have been last time when Zhao Yanzi hugged him in front of the teaching building, right Haha, this is going to get interesting. Zhao Yanzi is betrothed to Zeng Yitao, yet she found herself a boyfriend!"

"No wonder Ceng Yitao suddenly transferred from another city to Ling Zhao High School; it was because of this, right This guy is Hao Ren, right"

"That's correct. Zhao Yanzi herself tacitly admits that he's her boyfriend. However, my brother studies at Beibu No.1 High School and said there seems to be no such person in their sophomore year."

"Get your brother to find out more! Hehe, two high schools fighting over Zhao Yanzi, the show is about to begin! Speaking of which, Hao Ren's looks are still passable.

""Different. Ceng Yitao seems cool and a bit mischievous. As for that Hao Ren, his looks aren't bad, but he doesn't seem to have any personality."

The various conjectures instantly spread among the students through word of mouth.

Hao Ren's sharp hearing picked up all these scattered remarks in his ears.

Sigh. Personality… In the eyes of this heart-devouring little beauty, being cool and stylish is personality—these comments, mixed with their own imagination and guesses, twisted the truth into a pretzel. Hao Ren really admired these young girls' information synthesis skills; they managed to piece together several unrelated events like a coherent story.

Zhao Yanzi, wearing an unwilling expression on her face, slowly walked up to Hao Ren.

"She's going too" Zhao Yanzi asked with a very unfriendly gaze at Xie Yujia.

""Yes, she's going together," Hao Ren said. Xie Yujia sensed a strong hostility in the little girl's eyes; she had already ruled out Su Han as Hao Ren’s girlfriend but was still unsure whether Zhao Yanzi could be considered his "fiancée."

This term rarely used even by wealthy families, combined with Zhao Yanzi's age, seemed highly implausible.

The Rolls-Royce slowly approached them.

Students gathered at the school gate thought this would be a show worth watching and stared intently in Hao Ren’s direction, completely forgetting to move their feet.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Zeng Yitao's pale but arrogant face.

"Zi, I don't care about what happens in three years."

"But within these three years, you will be mine." He stared at Zhao Yanzi and spoke each word deliberately.

“Get lost!” Zhao Yanzi burst into anger and shouted.

“Tomorrow, I'll come to the school to find you,” Zeng Yitao maintained his expression and turned to speak to Hao Ren instead.

Just then, the bus arrived at the stop. Zhao Yanzi was too annoyed to deal with Zeng Yitao any longer; she boarded the bus noisily. Compared to competing with Xie Yujia, she was more eager to get rid of Zeng Yitao's detestable face.

Hao Ren and Xie Yujia also got on the bus.

All students, whether from junior or senior high school, were dumbfounded. Zhao Yanzi didn’t take a ride in Zeng Yitao’s Rolls-Royce but preferred to board the bus with her little boyfriend Hao Ren

Wow! Discussions exploded among the students once again.

In their eyes, this was the first time Hao Ren had won a direct confrontation. Hao Ren from No. 1 Middle School in City North emerged victorious!

Zeng Yitao’s face darkened; he gnashed his teeth and said to Wolf Driver who was driving, “Let's go!”

Originally, Zeng Yitao thought that with Xihai’s strong proposal, lively and pretty Zhao Yanzi would certainly be his. Yet unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared midway. Donghai Palace even gave the unreasonable reason of dragon pills to marry Zhao Yanzi to this ordinary person!

Seeing an almost-determined marriage flying away like a cooked duck, how could Zeng Yitao not be infuriated With Zhao Yanzi’s status as a princess from Donghai and her being such a disobedient little brat, the more she ignored him, the more he wanted to possess her!part from formulating plans with a few core elders, I also had to oversee the celebration ceremony, hence why I couldn't get back to you sooner," Zhao Guang said as he sat down on a sofa alone.Haoren...
