Chapter 379: Chapter 379: The Mathematical Olympiad Champion of High School Years

Others found it rather amusing.

Chen Tonghua also thought Tan Yuheng was really impulsive; did he even make sure before claiming to be the champion?

Better not be too embarrassing when he gets proved wrong later.

Jiang Zhe nodded, "Congratulations. I’ll take you out for something tasty later!"

"Thank you, sister," Jiang Yunxuan said with a beaming smile.

Chen Tonghua asked with a smile, "Really? But there’s only one champion, and that’s Chen Yun. Where did this champion of yours come from?"

"Forgot to tell you, I didn’t participate in the elementary school Math Olympiad, I took part in the high school one," Jiang Yunxuan waved his phone.

"There’s a limit to lying!" Chen Tonghua became angry, "Look, this is what children from the orphanage are like..."

"Are children from the orphanage your father? Can’t you go a sentence without mentioning it? Does it bother you?" Jiang Zhe lashed out in return, "You think only what you say is true, and everything else must be a lie? If he is the champion, will you eat his phone?"

Jiang Zhe signaled with her eyes, "Yunxuan, show her your phone!"

Jiang Yunxuan thrust his phone right in Chen Tonghua’s face.

The onlookers also felt Chen Tonghua was going too far; these kids, even if they were from an orphanage, hadn’t done anything wrong.

It was no big deal to not hang out with them; why did she have to spout slanderous words at every turn, determined to trample them into the dust?

In doing so, Jiang Zhe made everyone feel vindicated.

The phone was pushed right into Chen Tonghua’s face. Without even needing to look, Chen Tonghua saw that Jiang Yunxuan’s name was at the top, clearly the high school Math Olympiad competition results.

She couldn’t even find an excuse to deny it; Jiang Yunxuan’s age was listed right after his name, the number ’10’ conspicuously visible.

"See it clearly?" Jiang Yunxuan asked.

Chen Tonghua’s face flushed red with embarrassment; it was the solid academic performance of Chen Yun, and the final scores from the elementary school Math Olympiad that counted, that she had used to recommend him to Feng Jiao for adoption.

However, faced with an achievement so overwhelming that left her speechless, Chen Yun’s accomplishment seemed entirely insignificant.

If Feng Jiao truly considered academic performance, Chen Yun had no chance at all.

She was plotting so hard to push these kids away from Feng Jiao’s side, to pose no threat to Chen Yun, but instead, everyone came to know that Jiang Yunxuan was a prodigy among prodigies, and that Chen Yun simply couldn’t compare to him.

"If you’ve seen it clearly, then eat my phone!" Jiang Yunxuan pretended to stuff his phone into Chen Tonghua’s mouth.

"Let me do it!" Tan Yuheng, who always loved to see trouble, seized the opportunity to grab Jiang Yunxuan’s phone and tried to shove it into Chen Tonghua’s mouth.

If Jiang Yunxuan did something like this, it would certainly cause great controversy.

But Tan Yuheng was a recognized troublemaker, well-known to many present, and everyone was aware of his temperament.

So when he took the opportunity to shove the phone toward Chen Tonghua’s mouth amidst the chaos, nobody was surprised, and for a moment, nobody thought to stop him.

Chen Tonghua spat twice and, not daring to offend Tan Yuheng, could only dodge left and right to avoid it.

"I’ve seen clearly; he is indeed the high school Math Olympiad champion, I’ve seen it, I really have," Chen Tonghua was compelled to acknowledge.

The onlookers hadn’t paid much attention before, but hearing this revelation, they truly realized that the kid was actually the champion of a high school Math Olympiad?

And yet he seemed to be just a bit over ten years old.

It was truly astonishing.

The looks they gave Jiang Yunxuan shifted, more or less.

No matter how much he came from an orphanage, no matter how much Chen Tonghua belittled him, it couldn’t hide the brilliance he was radiating at the moment.

It was only then that everyone seriously looked at these children in school uniforms and realized that they all carried themselves with a certain dignity, and each was more good-looking than the next.

They simply couldn’t associate these children with what Chen Tonghua had been saying.

Tan Yuheng finally let go, and Feng Jiao walked out from the crowd, saying to Jiang Yunxuan in a warm tone, "Congratulations, Yunxuan."

She lifted her head and looked at Chen Tonghua, "Chen Tonghua, I consider you a classmate, which is why I didn’t mind you coming on vacation with me, participating in activities, but I do mind how you treat my friends. These children have always been well-behaved and polite. On the contrary, it’s you who’s been picking faults. What does that show about your abilities?"

Chen Tonghua, seeing that Feng Jiao was truly angry, couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Chen Yun, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, "I’m sorry, Aunt Feng. It’s my cousin’s fault. She always wanted me to be a child you adopted, but I actually had no such intentions. All along, I’ve only wanted to live a good life with my grandparents. I apologize for the trouble."

Having said that, he turned and left.

Chen Tonghua immediately caught up, "Yun Yun! Why are you behaving like this..."

That’s when everyone realized that all of Chen Tonghua’s words and actions were motivated by fear that Feng Jiao would adopt other children.

She thought this would make Feng Jiao adopt her own nephew.

Such scheming made everyone feel a bit contemptuous.

An adult with less sense than a child.

Feng Jiao said to everyone, "Disperse, please. There’s nothing more to see."

Tan Yuheng spoke with a tinge of regret, "We didn’t even get her to eat her phone."

Jiang Zhe walked over leisurely and patted Jiang Yunxuan on the head.

In a soft voice, Feng Jiao said, "Don’t listen to that auntie’s nonsense. No matter where a child grows up, as long as they have self-respect and self-love, they are good children."

Mrs. Tan came over and called Tan Yuheng, "Yuheng, let’s go back!"

"I’m staying right here; I’m not going back." Tan Yuheng immediately hid behind Jiang Zhe.

Mrs. Tan’s gaze flickered a few times but this time she didn’t forcibly take Tan Yuheng away.

Jiang Yunxuan, the math Olympiad champion, had managed to change her perspective. Tan Yuheng’s grades were terrible, but by following Jiang Yunxuan, there might still be hope for improvement.

Tan Yuheng immediately chased after Jiang Yunxuan, asking for his help to boost his grades.

Feng Jiao took two bottles of drinks and handed one to Jiang Zhe and Xia Enci, apologizing, "I’m sorry about my classmate; she really went too far."

"It’s alright." Jiang Zhe took it from her.

Feng Jiao, wearing high heels, stumbled slightly, and Jiang Zhe instinctively reached out to steady her, grasping her wrist.

As he held her wrist, Jiang Zhe’s fingers twitched slightly, then he withdrew his hand discreetly.

Feng Jiao straightened up, "Thank you."

"Sister-in-law... Jiang Zhe, I didn’t know you were here," the voice of He Ling came through.

Jiang Zhe turned around and saw He Zizhou and He Ling approaching.

"He Zizhou, the younger master. Miss He," Feng Jiao greeted with a nod, "Jiang Zhe, you know them?"

"Classmates." He Ling said, "Jiang Zhe, if I had known you were coming to this event, I would have asked to meet up with you earlier. Xia Enci, you didn’t mention you were coming?"

"If I decide to come, I’d come. Do I need to tell you?" Xia Enci wasn’t surprised to see He Ling here.
