I am a Good Man- Chapter 4 Part 3

Arc 1: Childhood Sweethearts from Rich Households

Translated by ILoveToProcrastinate

"15% of the shares!"

Yin Rong's face ached, they made Ji Yang gather small advantages for nothing. In her opinion, Zheng Jiayue's brain is full of holes!

"Zheng family will look kindly upon someone who is utterly lacking?" Father Ji's eyes were mocking. "I've already frozen all his cards and won't give him a cent. It won't take long. Either he comes back or he breaks up with Zheng Jiayue!”

Once she heard it, Yin Rong's eyes brightened, "If they break up, won't Xiao Wei have a chance?"

Zheng family only has a daughter. In the future, doesn't that mean that everything will be her son's?

Father Ji seemed to have the same idea. Looking at Ji Yang, his eyes were full of disgust. This child was a roadblock.

Not only did the two people think so, but several girls beside Ning Wen also discussed.

"If I was together with Ji Yang, I would've lost all my face. Is there any shame?" the words were full of mocking.

"Aren't the shares the same as giving them to Ji Yang?" another one coldly snorted. "If I may say, don't subsidize a phoenix man." (1)

"Xiao Wen, is she pa.s.sionate about Ji Yang?"

Being suddenly called by name, Ning Wen reminded kindly, "You must not speak ill of Ji Yang in front of her, or she will be very angry.”

Saying it like this, the rest of them are even more disdainful. The thought that Zheng Jiayue was just like a r.e.t.a.r.d.

"She's stupid, the Zheng family is not stupid. Ji Yang's body looks like that, and deceived her." The one at the furthermost side continued with sharp words, "Who doesn't know that Ji Yang wants to climb up on her? This woman is pathetic and lamentable. If the Zheng family step in, she might abandon her parents for Ji Yang. That would make people laugh their heads off."

In fact, this circle is very fickle, holding up the ones up high and stepping on the ones down low.

Ji Yang looked good and he seemed to have some ability in business, but his ident.i.ty was too low. The girls in the circle couldn't look upon him highly and could play with him.

The audience's minds each thought they were looking at a joke. Zheng Jiayue said a few words on stage. Immediately after, Father Zheng also went on stage and his expression became serious.

When everyone looked, they sneered at the bottom of their hearts. When Zheng Jiayue said it like this, which wealthy family's son would still dare to marry her after she broke up with Ji Yang? If anyone married her, wouldn't they become a joke? Father Zheng was going to break up the affectionate couple. (2)

After picking up the microphone, Father Zheng's slightly low voice came through, “Ji Yang and my daughter are small-scale, and Jiayue graduated, both of them…”

Small-scale, does this mean that he doesn't acknowledge it?

Zheng Jiayue is also stunned. She looked at her father with wide eyes. She knew her parents didn't approve of her being with Ji Yang very much. What was he doing now?

Ning Wen slowly drank a sip of wine, her eyebrows raised, and listened attentively.

Zheng Jiayue, it wasn't me who destroyed your dream. Your father will destroy it first. Tut tut tut. That's funny. (3)

Father Zheng said, but the topic suddenly changed and he seriously said, "Their feelings are very stable, so I decided to let the two children get engaged first. Today is a good day. Xiao Yang is also a very good child.”

After this change, everyone was stunned.

Zheng Jiayue was also in a daze. Her mind was blank. On the stage, her father smiled lovingly. He looked at Ji Yang on the other side. The other party looked at her and his thin lips opened slightly, “I originally thought that I would give you another few years to fly freely, but Jia Jia, I want to build a family with you soon.”

Zheng Jiayue covered her mouth and her eyes were suddenly wet. Ji Yang embraced her in his arms and softly soothed her.

Next was Ji Yang's speech.

"Everyone, thank you for coming to Jia Jia's birthday party. I'm here to pledge to my uncle and aunt that I will do my best to protect and cherish Jia Jia. I'd also like to ask everyone to be a witness.”

“On this special day, and in order to show my sincerity, I will give half of my shares of my very successful company to my fiancee."

The man's words were clear, and his gestures were all dignified, which made people not dare to look down on him at all.

Zheng Jiayue didn't react for a while and signed her name on the doc.u.ment distractedly. Father Zheng's eyes were even more pleased and had originally thought that Ji Yang's temper was a little self-abased and that he couldn't go into public. He didn't expect that his aura would be very excessive. There was resolution! His pivotal vision was still very good, otherwise, how did he take a fancy to his daughter?

"Lao Zheng," some people came over and, looking at Father Zheng, asked curiously in a quiet voice, "When did Ji Yang set up his company? Didn't he just resign from the Ji business?”

Who didn't know that Ji Yang had been driven out by the Ji family? Now he has nothing. They were still waiting to see the jokes of the Zheng family. How could he set up a company in a twinkling of an eye?

Father Zheng replied, "It was just started. It is an Internet game company and young people like to play it. I also caught up with a wave of trends, and recently invested in it."

"It was like this, ah," that person's tone was somewhat doubtful. "You still don't know how it's going to turn out, and you already invested in it?"

This was just like sending money to Ji Yang. Everyone who heard it felt disdainful again.

“I think it's very promising," Father Zheng said with a little pride. "He also volunteered to come to the Zheng business to help me. Today, he helped me to bid, and he won the Cheng An project. As a matter of fact, he just rushed back from the airport.”

Everyone was surprised. Ji Yang had a good business ability and Ji business had developed a lot in his hands. The profit of the Cheng An's project was several hundred million yuan.

How could it be said that the Zheng family picked up a big advantage? It's no wonder that Father Zheng had changed his nature!

Father Ji was even more angry, spitting blood. Ji Yang wasn't here. His project had problems show up again and again. He had still thought to hold up until the other party returned to ask him for his help. Now, his development was beyond his expectations.

Translator's Note:

(1) 鳳凰男 refers to a man who grew up in the countryside and gained a foothold in the city through hard work. I used the term "phoenix man" to translate this since it's a shorter phrase.

(2) 鴛鴦 literally means mandarin ducks. It is a symbol of conjugal affection and fidelity. It figuratively means an affectionate couple.

(3) Tut tut tut refers to Ning Wen clicking her tongue. The Chinese is 嘖嘖嘖.
