Ch 94 (Part 1): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

Fang Ziyang and the others were temporarily unaware of what was happening in the area of the base.

Tang Xun and Rick were enjoying their private time in the adjacent room.

Fang Ziyang, Xie Zheng, and the dejected Jin Yu were chatting and eating snacks together.

Jin Yu gritted her teeth as she bit into the snack in her hand. Her expression was one of sadness and complexity as she looked at Xie Zheng. She still couldn’t believe the reality she had just heard.

“Mr. Xie, you… Do you really like Fang Ziyang? You’ve liked him for a long time?”

What’s so special about this bastard Fang Ziyang, who is just slightly good-looking and slightly capable? Xie Zheng actually started liking Fang Ziyang a long time ago. It was a terrifying reality!

Xie Zheng wasn’t someone who enjoyed chatting with others, but he didn’t mind showing affection in this conversation.

When it came to his own love story, he was currently very willing to share it with others. Posting on social media was no longer enough for him. He was now very willing to answer Jin Yu’s curiosity.

“Well, I actually liked Ziyang before, but at that time, he had just broken off his engagement with Xie Wenxu. I was worried that he wouldn’t be able to accept anyone from the Xie family, so I never said anything…”

This statement wasn’t entirely made up.

He hadn’t understood his own feelings before, but now he had a realization. Looking back, when he found that Ziyang was different from what he had imagined, he might have started to develop feelings.

He had never expected that he would fall for someone like Ziyang, who was so unruly and flamboyant. Ziyang’s personality and his own preferences were clearly parallel lines, but he couldn’t help but be moved.

A rare smile appeared on Xie Zheng’s usually stern face.

Jin Yu had been paying attention to Xie Zheng for many years and knew how seldom he smiled or spoke casually.

Don’t even mention that Xie Zheng’s smiling face has never been seen in the news. Even during private gatherings, he rarely shows a smile. Describing him as an “icy high-cold flower” is already being very polite; he’s basically an iceberg.

But who made Xie Zheng so handsome! Not only is he handsome, but he’s also highly capable!

In their circle, Xie Zheng’s achievements at his age are few and far between. Even if he’s an iceberg, he can’t stop countless girls and boys from secretly admiring him. It’s just that such an outstanding and handsome guy wouldn’t be interested in someone unless they have a problem with their eyes.

Jin Yu is somewhat superficial when it comes to looks.

She does like Xie Zheng, that’s true, but most of her liking for him is because he’s good-looking and capable. She doesn’t think it’s to the point of being deeply in love.

So at this moment, although she feels a bit sad and regretful, it’s not that serious.

Especially when she looks at Xie Zheng’s expression, even if her emotional intelligence is low, she can tell that Xie Zheng probably has deep feelings for Fang Ziyang. She realizes that she doesn’t stand a chance.

But…

Jin Yu still can’t understand and is indignant.

“Mr. Xie, what do you see in Fang Ziyang? He’s just a bastard. You don’t know, he’s always arguing and bullying me in the base!”

Xie Zheng:…

This question is a bit difficult to answer. His wife always tells him how to handle this little girl, but obviously, the plan hasn’t been successful. Jin Yu’s emotional intelligence is in the negative range.

But Fang Ziyang is quite proud and says, “Of course, Brother Xie likes me because I’m good-looking and capable. I’ve already told you, but you don’t believe me.”

Jin Yu doesn’t believe it!

She looks at Xie Zheng, full of anticipation: Mr. Xie can’t be so shallow. Fang Ziyang must be making up stories.

However, her expectant gaze doesn’t work on Xie Zheng.

And Xie Zheng thinks that he fell for his wife partly because of his face. His wife is truly cute and capable, and he likes him a lot.

“Ziyang is mischievous, but he’s actually a good person. He just likes to argue with people, but he definitely doesn’t mean to bully you…”

Xie Zheng smiles apologetically but firmly stands on his wife’s side, without the modesty of being a host in front of guests.

And he’s particularly good at making things up, “This is his way of making friends. Don’t compare yourself to him. When Ziyang was still in the Fang family, he didn’t have a good life. Fang Qianhao often bullied him. It’s because of self-protection that he developed this prickly personality. Actually, he wants to be friends with you.”

Fang Ziyang nods in agreement, with a spoiled expression, “And I’m giving you some advice. If it wasn’t for me, everyone would have definitely isolated you.”

Jin Yu: She doesn’t want this kind of friendship. Thank you very much!

But…

Jin Yu is still not convinced and gets increasingly angry.

“Are you saying that everyone is isolating me? I’m the young miss of the Jin family. Everyone is trying to flatter me. Who dares to isolate me?”

“Because you’re both arrogant and domineering, and your brain doesn’t work well.”

Fang Ziyang doesn’t hold back and states the facts.

Jin Yu is once again infuriated, “Fang Ziyang, you won’t be content until you’ve annoyed me every day! Yes, I may be a bit arrogant and domineering, but my brain works just fine! I’m actually very smart! Even if I’m not as good as you, I can rank fourth in terms of personal and team abilities. How dare you say my brain doesn’t work!”

She does have some self-awareness. She knows that she can be arrogant and domineering, but she firmly denies that her brain doesn’t work. That’s a huge humiliation.

Fang Ziyang remains unfazed and shows a disdainful expression, “I say you’re stupid, but you refuse to admit it. You may be fine in terms of technical skills, but your emotional intelligence really needs to be tested. What’s the point of saying such things to provoke your anger? If you want to know whether people want to isolate you or not, just apply to check the surveillance footage. If you bring up your grandfather, they should let you see it…”

“You’ve been mentioned behind your back several times when you weren’t around. Of course, I’m a highly intelligent person with sharp eyes, so I don’t fully believe those things said behind your back.”

“What are they saying about me behind my back?”

This time, Jin Yu’s expression changes. She knows that Fang Ziyang wouldn’t tell such easily exposed lies.

Could it be that everyone is saying terrible things about her behind her back? She may be a bit arrogant, but it couldn’t be to the point where everyone wants to isolate her! She’s not the only one with a princess temperament.

“You’ll know when you check the surveillance. Anyway, if it wasn’t for me always bickering with you, people wouldn’t just think you’re childish and have low emotional intelligence.”

“Regardless, you’re still the young miss of the Jin family. You’ve learned social skills, right? I really don’t understand how you turned yourself into this. It’s only because I have a good heart that I’m giving you a hand. You’re still not grateful and you’re always slow to react…”

Fang Ziyang shrugs, displaying his spoiled side.

Jin Yu is infuriated by his spoiled and punchable appearance, but she’s not in the mood to argue with Fang Ziyang right now.

“I don’t believe it. I’m going to apply to view the surveillance footage right away!”

Jin Yu refuses to accept the reality and leaves behind those words before stomping away.

She can’t believe what Fang Ziyang said. How could everyone dislike her so much to the point of isolating her? It’s impossible!

She hasn’t been at the base for long. Apart from some friction and arguments with Fang Ziyang, she hasn’t done anything to anyone. Moreover, she gets along well with everyone and has even told a few of them to help her grandfather’s research team after the competition. It can’t be that bad, right?

Seeing Jin Yu’s unhappy departure, Fang Ziyang shakes his head and then looks at Xie Zheng with a helpless expression, “If I didn’t know that the Jin family truly cares for this little granddaughter, I can’t help but think that Jin Yu has become like me…”

The Jin family is truly talented in raising their granddaughter to be so silly. No matter how high Jin Yu’s talent is in research, her ability to handle relationships is just as poor. She’s been too well-protected by her family.

Xie Zheng rubs his wife’s hair, “Ziyang can be like this now.”

All the innocence and happiness come from someone who protects and cares for them from the front. If possible, he also hopes his wife can be innocent and sweet like that.

“Okay, I’ll start acting spoiled with you more often from now on!”

Fang Ziyang smiles and takes the initiative to hug Xie Zheng, feeling very happy in his heart.

Xie Zheng also reaches out to hold his beloved, resting his chin on the soft top of his head and enjoying the closeness of his lover greedily.
