Ch 38 (Part 2): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

Although this logic seems flawed, the fact that Yan Tong’s mother is Zheng Yating made the stylist automatically ignore the strangeness.

Since it was Mr. Fang’s intention, he didn’t think it was appropriate for him to say anything. The grudges and entanglements of the wealthy families were not something a small person like him could get involved in.

As for Fang Ziyang, he was almost laughing inside when he heard Yan Tong’s words.

I knew it, I knew it… Yan Tong is my dad’s illegitimate child, not mine. Why should I care about what he does? Besides, my dad wrote me a guarantee that my share of the inheritance won’t be reduced by a single cent. Why should I bother with such an illegitimate child who can’t see the light of day?

Today’s occasion is not the same as the previous auction outside.

I wonder if Fang Yandong will be infuriated again when he sees Yan Tong appear later?

Fang Ziyang is in a very good mood.

Today, he has prepared many gifts for these people.

After choosing clothes and accessories, Yan Tong continued to work on his hairstyle.

Fang Ziyang dressed simply and quickly finished. He didn’t have the patience to wait for Yan Tong and went straight out of the dressing room to the banquet hall.

By now, many guests had already arrived in the banquet hall.

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

However, most of them were young people. People of Fang Yandong’s generation and status would usually arrive closer to the start of the event to demonstrate their status and save face.

Because the majority of attendees were young people, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was relatively casual.

When everyone saw Fang Ziyang come out, they immediately surrounded him.

Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu didn’t come today. Fang Ziyang specifically instructed them to handle the transfer of the suburban land and other matters to the Zhou family and Zhao family. Today’s banquet was originally a farce, so there was no need for them to waste their time coming.

So when Wang Jiaojiao approached and saw that only Fang Ziyang was alone, her attitude became even more arrogant.

Wang Jiaojiao covered her mouth and said, “Oh my, Fang Ziyang, I didn’t expect Yan Tong to be your father’s illegitimate child. You two are truly fated. I can’t believe you’re not causing a fuss. How did I not realize that you had such a big heart? Letting an illegitimate child enter the family so easily…”

The young masters and misses of the prominent families around smiled and didn’t interrupt. They wanted to hear what Wang Jiaojiao had to say, and they were waiting for the show.

Fang Ziyang had seen through the characters of these people in his previous life, so he didn’t care.

He lifted his champagne glass and sneered, “He’s my father’s illegitimate child, not mine. Why should I care about what he does? Besides, so what if he entered my house? My dad wrote me a guarantee that my shares won’t be reduced by a single cent in the future. Why should I care about someone who can’t be seen in the light?”

“But Jiaojiao, I heard that your mom gave birth to another sister for you. I wonder how much of your shares will be distributed to others? Instead of worrying about yourself, you’re concerned about me. It seems like your heart is even bigger…”

Although Wang Jiaojiao’s dad didn’t have affairs outside, he strongly favored male heirs. In order to have a son, Wang Jiaojiao’s mom was still giving birth at the age of forty.

Unfortunately, for some reason, the Wang family couldn’t produce a son. Wang Jiaojiao’s mom has been having daughters one after another.

As a result, Wang Jiaojiao now has four younger sisters, and her parents have no plans to stop.

Daughters also have the right to inherit the family’s wealth. As the eldest daughter, every additional sister or brother means that Wang Jiaojiao’s share of the inheritance in the future will be reduced. This is the biggest pain point for Wang Jiaojiao!

Wang Jiaojiao’s temper flared up almost instantly upon hearing such remarks.

She was like a startled wildcat with her tail stepped on, lashing out without restraint,

“Fang Ziyang, who do you think you are to make fun of me? Just you wait, Yan Tong can snatch your dad away, and he’ll soon snatch your fiancé as well. I saw it with my own eyes. Xiao Xie even had a public argument with you because of him. You’re about to be dumped by someone, yet you still have the audacity to mock me. I’ll be waiting for your misfortune!”

Wang Jiaojiao was angry and sarcastic.

But Fang Ziyang showed no reaction at all. He didn’t get immediately provoked like before. He remained calm and composed, and chuckled.

“Then you can wait for my misfortune. Speaking of Xiao Xie… Even if he doesn’t want me, he won’t spare a glance for you either. You, Wang Jiaojiao, can’t compare to me. You can’t even measure up to a commoner’s illegitimate child brought into the family. What qualifications do you have to mock me?”

“Now, you’re no longer my rival. Yet here you are, trying to pick a fight with me, Wang Jiaojiao. How did I not realize what a good person you are? Actually helping your rival resolve his issues? Are you stupid?”

“You… you…”

Wang Jiaojiao was speechless with anger, her face turning red.

It’s not like that! (She just wanted to vent her jealousy towards Fang Ziyang for so long! She wouldn’t be stupid enough to help her rival. It’s still uncertain whether Yan Tong and Xiao Xie will end up together. She doesn’t even consider Yan Tong, a nobody, worthy of her attention!)

But the people around them didn’t think the same way.

Although Fang Ziyang’s words were harsh, they made sense! Fang Ziyang was dumped by Xiao Xie, and Wang Jiaojiao was fixated on mocking Fang Ziyang, completely disregarding the newcomer rival Yan Tong. It seemed a bit foolish…

Some of the people who had a better relationship with Wang Jiaojiao quickly stepped in to mediate. “Alright, alright, today is supposed to be a joyful banquet. You two should stop arguing. You’re all friends in the same circle.”

“That’s right, come on, let’s have some champagne.”

The rest of the people joined in to persuade them. At least this was the Fang family’s event, and it wouldn’t look good if things escalated.

But Fang Ziyang didn’t give them face.

“Friends? Friends who stab you in the back? Can you honestly say that you didn’t come here today to see me break off the engagement? Aren’t you here to witness Xie Wenxu propose to Yan Tong in front of me? You all know your own intentions when my name was trending in those videos.”

“But if you want to see me embarrassed today, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. What’s Xie Wenxu worth? Do you really think I’m interested in him?”

“If it wasn’t for his desperate begging and sincerity, I wouldn’t have agreed to the engagement in the first place. Now, it’s not him dumping me; it’s me rejecting him. Just watch, see if I’ll feel sorry for him later. Someone is picking up this piece of junk, and I couldn’t be happier…”

With a contemptuous smile, Fang Ziyang lifted his champagne and walked away.

But the others were stunned by his words.

What? Xie Wenxu is coming to break off the engagement today? And then he’ll publicly propose to Yan Tong?

Is it true? How come they haven’t heard about it!

Suddenly, everyone started whispering among themselves.

“Hey, hey, hey, Fang Ziyang, did you just say that for real? Is Yan Tong really that amazing? Could he have dazzled Xie Wenxu like that?”

“It’s possible. I overheard my dad saying that Mr. Fang seems to have some major announcement today, so it might be related to this.”

“Damn, Yan Tong is really something. Xie Wenxu used to be so into Fang Ziyang, and now he’s being snatched away like this? Moreover, Yan Tong just entered the Fang family and has already gained Mr. Fang’s favor. He’s quite impressive…”

People started gossiping one after another.

Wang Jiaojiao’s expression became increasingly unpleasant as she listened.

She had just said that she didn’t consider Yan Tong worthy of her attention, and it was uncertain whether Yan Tong and Xie Wenxu would end up together. But now she was being told that Xie Wenxu was going to propose to Yan Tong and remarry him?

Then what was the point of her mocking Fang Ziyang, the abandoned one? While she was here trying to hinder Fang Ziyang, Yan Tong would easily become Xie Wenxu right in front of her?

Damn it, she indirectly helped someone put on a wedding dress!

Although she had always been jealous of Fang Ziyang, she could still console herself with the thought that Fang Ziyang had his merits. His family background was not worse than hers, and he looked better than her. Losing to Fang Ziyang wasn’t that embarrassing after all.
