Chapter 756 The Clue To V16 Has Finally Been Found!!

Philip was of mixed descent.

Although he looked like a westerner, if one observed him closely, one would see that his facial features were rather exotic.

His gaze made people feel that he was a very affectionate and loving man.

But Iris knew just how cold-blooded he really was.

With a calm look on her face, she stayed silent.

Philip didn’t speak either. A complex look flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly asked, “I remember you once said that the rich and the poor can be distinguished from their temperament. So back then, what you liked was not me but my money, right?! You actually knew from the very beginning that I was rich, right?”

Iris actually found it a little ludicrous to hear him ask such a question again when more than twenty years had already passed.

She lowered her gaze, too lazy to bother explaining all of that. She said, “You can think of it however you want to.”

As soon as she said that, Philip took a big step forward and held her shoulders.

The two of them hadn’t met for over twentyin fact, close to thirty-years. They were each other’s first love, yet despite being reunited, the atmosphere actually didn’t feel that awkward.

It was as if everything was still the same as it was back then.

Philip narrowed his eyes. “I heard it with my own ears at the party back then. Are you still going to use such sophistry on me?” He had heard it?

Iris was taken aback.

The man was standing very close to her. Iris could see that he was tall and lean and his complexion was fair. In her trance, she even felt like she had gone back over twenty years in time.

Back then, he actually was not very eye-catching in school.

He wore ordinary clothes and kept a low profile.

It was not because of his chase of her that Iris had noticed him; rather, it was because when she was in college, she noticed that he had been studying in the library ever since he enrolled in the school.

He had a lot of self-restraint.

Most people who had just started college after their SATs would relax for a while, but he hadn’t. Ever since he became a freshman, he had been diligent and working hard.

Once, Iris had noticed that she couldn’t understand the books he read.

At that moment, Philip suddenly became tall and mysterious to her.

After that, despite many chasing after her, she didn’t take a fancy to any of them.

It wasn’t that they weren’t hardworking enough; rather, it was because none of them was as hardworking as Philip!

The way he behaved as though there was no tomorrow, as if he wished he could break time into pieces and absorb knowledge as much as he could.

Therefore, when he started to chase Iris, she couldn’t even imagine a man like him would have time to date someone?

She had agreed.

At that time, she didn’t yet know that being curious about someone and slowly paying attention to them was the beginning of love.

She only knew that every time she saw Philip studying hard whenever he was not with her, yet never felt that he was wasting time when he was with her; she would feel a sense of accomplishment and contentment.

At that time, she was a talented girl from the Evanses and also a well-known figure in the school.

Once, at a party, someone next to her couldn’t resist asking her, “Iris, what on earth do you like about Philip? Surely it can’t be because he is handsome, right?!”
