Ch 38 (Part 1): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

Fang Yandong sent out a lot of invitations for the recognition banquet prepared for Yan Tong.

On the evening of the banquet, many guests responded to the invitation. They came not only to give face to the Fang family but also to see this illegitimate child of the Fang family.

After all, due to the trending video and Fang Ziyang’s previous scandal of “catching an affair” at the club, Yan Tong’s name had recently gained some recognition in high society. Everyone was curious to see what kind of person could make Xie Wenxu, who had been devoted to him, change his affections.

Now that Xie Wenxu has cheated and Fang Ziyang has caught them in the act, the engagement between the Xie and Fang families is on the verge of collapse. This news has already spread.

There’s no way to hide what happened when Fang Ziyang caused a scene in public. Now that Yan Tong has become the illegitimate child of the Fang family, the situation has become even more complicated and delicate…

If in the future Xie Wenxu is determined to choose Yan Tong, considering Yan Tong’s current status, it’s not impossible for him to become a son-in-law of the Xie family. At that time, Fang Ziyang, who was once envied and jealous by all the young masters and ladies of Jiang City, would become a laughingstock.

Therefore, today’s banquet at the Fang family is highly anticipated by all the young masters and ladies of the affluent families in Jiang City.

Wang Jiaojiao is particularly eager to attend.

When Xie Wenxu pursued Fang Ziyang for engagement with such fanfare in the past, it made her extremely jealous. Now that Fang Ziyang might be dumped, how could she not come to witness the spectacle?

She had already suspected it when they were at the club last time, but this time Xie Wenxu seems to be serious. He seems to have genuinely fallen in love with Yan Tong. It’s not like before when it was just jealousy between lovers. Otherwise, Xie Wenxu wouldn’t have defended Yan Tong in public and disregarded his fiancé’s face.

Although Wang Jiaojiao is envious, jealous, and hateful towards Yan Tong as well, the truth is that it’s still uncertain whether Yan Tong can be together with Xie Wenxu. Even though Yan Tong has become the young master of the Fang family now, it’s still not certain if the Xie family will accept a bastard child.

So, instead of envying Yan Tong, Wang Jiaojiao would rather see Fang Ziyang’s misfortune. She arrived at the Fang family’s residence early.

At that time, Fang Ziyang and Yan Tong were getting ready with the help of stylists.

Today’s banquet is not for himself, so Fang Ziyang didn’t take it too seriously. He simply chose a simple and elegant shirt and trousers, and let the stylist work on his hair before adding a matching watch. He didn’t pay much attention to other details.

His previous extravagant appearance at the auction was to provoke Fang Yandong, but he actually has normal taste and doesn’t like overly complicated outfits.

On the other hand, Yan Tong’s attire for today is more formal and intricate.

Yesterday, Fang Yandong threw away the customized suit that Yan Tong was supposed to wear to the banquet. Although Fang Yandong was not pleased when he returned, he didn’t dare to get angry at Fang Ziyang because of his unpredictable temper. After all, he still had his eyes on Fang Ziyang’s share of the inheritance.

So, in the end, Yan Tong had to endure it, which made him almost suffocated with anger.

After calming down, he could analyze Fang Yandong’s attitude. It was all because of Fang Ziyang’s shares, inheritance, and the engagement with the Xie family. Fang Yandong couldn’t control the shares and inheritance, but he had a way to control the engagement with the Xie family.

Originally, Yan Tong didn’t intend to be with Xie Wenxu, but now he has changed his mind. He is determined to make Xie Wenxu his boyfriend. The Xie family has a good background, and Xie Wenxu is handsome. If their personalities don’t match, he can train Xie Wenxu. Accepting Xie Wenxu is not impossible. Besides, Xie Wenxu is someone Fang Ziyang likes, and by taking Xie Wenxu away, Fang Ziyang will definitely be in pain!

Although Yan Tong hadn’t finished reading the novel before he transmigrated, before Fang Ziyang officially became the dominant character, Xie Wenxu had the most scenes. After all, he was the devoted supporting character and the former fiancé. Until encountering the dominant character, Fang Ziyang liked Xie Wenxu…

Yan Tong had made up his mind.

For now, he would let Xie Wenxu be his boyfriend. If their personalities clash in the future, they can break up. He must make Xie Wenxu publicly announce the dissolution of the engagement with Fang Ziyang at tonight’s banquet and propose to him. He wants everyone to know that Fang Ziyang is no match for him! He wants Fang Ziyang to leave in tears in front of everyone’s eyes!

So, it’s necessary to dress up well.

Fang Yandong also didn’t want Yan Tong to embarrass him. Although the customized suit was gone, it could be compensated from elsewhere. He took out several valuable jewelry pieces from the safe, worth at least five million each, and had the stylist match them for Yan Tong.

Each item was worth at least five million, and Yan Tong’s heart trembled when he saw them. Especially the watch worth tens of millions.

Despite often claiming that he didn’t care about the small family business of the Fang family, he couldn’t help but feel excited when faced with such a wealthy family. His eyes sparkled with bright lights.

Yan Tong didn’t understand much about luxury accessories pairing, so he simply chose the watch worth tens of millions. In addition, there was a pair of sapphire earrings and antique cufflinks.

He didn’t have many options, but it was basically the standard dressing for a formal banquet. However, without exception, all the selected pieces were the most expensive ones.

The stylist looked at them but didn’t say anything.

Yan Tong didn’t understand and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem with these items?” He had done some research in advance and didn’t want to choose too much to avoid attracting attention. He had selected the standard matching accessories.

The stylist smiled awkwardly and was about to speak.

Fang Ziyang took over the conversation and smirked, “Is there a problem? If there is, it’s a big problem. You chose the latest design Rolex watch worth tens of millions, with a trendy style. And then, you picked those antique cufflinks, which don’t match at all. Are you trying to embarrass Dad?”

Although Yan Tong had done some research in advance, his taste was shallow, and he was greedy. He didn’t consider whether the items matched; he simply saw the price. He probably thought that the most expensive items were the best. Taking all those multi-million accessories would only make a scene…

Fang Ziyang knew it would be like this but didn’t expose it.

He picked a different watch and a pair of cufflinks from the pile of accessories, which better matched his previous comment.

With a mocking expression and an impolite tone, Fang Ziyang continued, “Alright, today I’m in a good mood, so I’ll give you a little advice. If you don’t want to embarrass yourself today, then change either the watch or the cufflinks. Expensive things may be good, but having too many of them is just a joke…”

Although he didn’t genuinely intend to help the other person, his selection was indeed the most suitable now.

After speaking, Fang Ziyang looked at the stylist next to him with a somewhat stern expression and said, “Tell him if I’m right or not.”

It was a normal statement, but with that expression, it seemed like a threat.

The stylist had witnessed Fang Ziyang’s fierce temper before, so when Fang Ziyang looked at him with that expression, he thought Fang Ziyang was trying to force him to say the opposite and deliberately mock the illegitimate child. Feeling a bit uneasy, he ignored the strange logic and automatically dismissed the thought of Fang Yandong not liking the illegitimate child for some special reason.

Since it was Fang Yandong’s intention, he couldn’t say much. After hesitating for a moment, he suggested to Yan Tong, “Young Master Tong, this watch and cufflinks are indeed good. You can change one of them.”

The stylist had good intentions.

But Yan Tong didn’t accept it and his expression changed.

He had already suspected that Fang Ziyang’s “helpful advice” had a hidden motive. When Fang Ziyang looked at the stylist threateningly and the stylist hesitated with a morally conflicted expression, it “proved” his suspicion.

He was afraid that his original choice was the correct one, and now Fang Ziyang was deliberately trying to trick him by making him change the accessories!

Fang Ziyang knew Yan Tong would be like this, but he didn’t expose it.

He chose a pair of sapphire earrings and the antique cufflinks again, and then he put on a restrained expression but an arrogant tone.

“But Dad said to me that I must wear these…” Yan Tong said pitifully, trying to show off while appearing vulnerable.

Hmph, Fang Ziyang knew that Yan Tong’s mind was shallow and that he was overly clever. The current Fang Ziyang was just a fool.

The stylist’s expression became somewhat stiff after hearing that. He thought to himself:

Mr. Fang specifically instructed… Could it be that Mr. Fang also dislikes this illegitimate child, but for some special reason, he brought him back? And now, he is trying to sabotage him in this place?
