Chapter 300: The Engagement Party Back Then
[There’s no way! How could God Bai Qinghao’s actual fiancée be Fang Xinxin? I demand that he deny this immediately!]
Everyone was in a state of chaos. The school forum was similarly exploding with comments.
“Fang Manxue, you are our Jing Hua University’s blessing, our…” Ma Yongting had yet to realise the situation. He shouted into the microphone to borrow the lively atmosphere from the young students.
To his surprise, the audience booed at him incessantly. Some even shot ugly looks at the stage.
He turned around in confusion only to discover that the donation was not made in Fang Manxue’s name. Instead, the name printed was ‘Fang Xinxin’!
He leaned in for a closer look. “I… am I seeing things? The words here say, ‘Fang Xinxin’ and not ‘Fang Manxue, am I right?”
His response left the audience rolling in laughter.
Ma Yongting’s middle-aged, but still decent-looking complexion had turned red. He had really lost his face here!
Fang Manxue was about to be moved by Bai Qinghao’s generous donation when she noticed the name printed on the signboard. Her expression immediately turned poor.
Bai Qinghao spoke through the three microphones once more. “Dear students and teachers, Jing Hua University is an educational establishment, a place of learning. I, Bai Qinghao, will never make use of such a place to flaunt my personal relationships. The falsehoods Fang Manxue made up about enduring a hundred lifetimes are but meaningless and empty words. The person I’ve been engaged to since young has never been Fang Manxue. This woman passed herself off as my fiancée publicly. She has also been falsely accusing my actual fiancée of being a third party. The extent to which she has been shameless has truly renewed my understanding of the world. The only person I’ve ever been engaged to, till this day, is Fang Xinxin, from Year 2, Class 3!”
“What?” The students and teachers were in a state of chaos.
This time, they were not just confused. Their eyes had widened and their jaws were on the verge of falling off!
[My god, my god, Fang Manxue is actually an imitation good! Fang Xinxin is the actual, real deal!]
[How is this possible? Even Fang Manxue is quite a distance away from Bai Qinghao. Fang Xinxin is so ugly and so fat. Bai Qinghao and her are more than a hundred thousand miles apart, alright!]
[Could it be that God Bai Qinghao has been charmed by the third party and is intentionally trying to put her in the position of an original?]
[Spit, spit, spit, God Qinghao’s words are extremely powerful. He never, ever lies. Do you think he would do such a thing?]
Another thousand pages of comments appeared onto the chaotic school forum.
At the actual event, the screaming was endless. It was even more noisy than the whistle of a kettle when it was boiling.
What sort of person was Bai Qinghao? He had already expected everyone’s reactions. He continued talking into the microphone. “I know that it is inevitable for everyone to be suspicious. You may wonder if I am helping a third party. I, Bai Qinghao, am not someone like that. As everyone knows, my engagement was decided by my grandmother when she was still alive. There is evidence in the form of a video recording made more than ten years ago. May I direct everyone’s attention to the large screen…”
He gestured to the projector screen behind him. An old video clip began playing.
It was the scene of an engagement party held in the most luxurious hotel in the city centre, Huang Chao Hotel. The guest list included the best of the best, from famous politicians to business elites. Most of these figures could usually only be found on the television screen.
The camera was directed at the entrance of the engagement party. A large banner had eye-catching words written on it – ‘Congratulations to Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin on their engagement’.
