I am a Good Man- Chapter 3 Part 3
Arc 1: Childhood Sweethearts from Rich Households
Translated by ILoveToProcrastinate
With one glance, it made people unable to look away. Just then, those people were stunned. Ji Yang didn"t look inferior to a celebrity, but they wouldn"t admit it. They could only look away embarra.s.sedly.
"A Yang," she knew that he would come. Zheng Jiayue still couldn"t help being joyous and walked quickly in his direction.
“Am I late?” Ji Yang took her hand and walked back. His movements were naturally not deliberate and he inclined his head to ask softly.
Zheng Jiayue shook her head, “The party hasn"t officially started yet. Dad just asked me when you would arrive.”
"Where is Uncle?" Ji Yang asked.
“On the second floor," Zheng Jiayue answered. "The party will begin soon, and he will come down.”
Ji Yang held her waist. As soon as they entered, they were watched by many people. Many business tyc.o.o.ns also took this opportunity to walk over to the two people.
"Manager Ji."
"I have already left Ji business," Ji Yang smiled and answered. He clinked gla.s.ses with the other party. "I heard that President w.a.n.g has taken on a big project. Congratulations.”
"Manager Ji, you flatter me. I still want to cooperate with you," that person had a face of pity. He knew about Ji Yang"s ability, but he [Ji Yang] lacked life experience and a platform.
"I will if I have a chance next time.”
…
However, after a few steps, they already met several people. All of them were heading for Ji Yang.
Zheng Jiayue had been exposed to such scenes since she was a child. At this time, she was nervous and proud to watch him talk with a.s.surance. In such a family, in fact, she knows very well that her A Yang has a deep sense of inferiority. He doesn"t like to interact with people and wants to work hard.
“Isn"t this Ji Yang?” Ji Wei raised his voice and attracted many people"s attention. They had an expression as if they were watching a good drama. It must be known that Ji Yang also came to Zheng Jiayue"s banquet before and was ridiculed by Ji Wei in public. He didn"t appear at the banquet for the next two years.
The confrontation between the illegitimate child and the legitimate child.
Ji Wei took his gla.s.s and went in front of Ji Yang. He looked at him up and down and smiled, "Our general manager of Ji business, oh, that"s not right, you aren"t now."
“What are you going to do?” Zheng Jiayue was alert and said. She was going to block Ji Wei in front of Ji Yang. She still remembered Ji Yang"s difficult situation that year and regretted that he came.
“Jia Jia," Ji Yang pulled her and led her to his side, with a light smile on his face. He casually asked, “I haven"t seen you for a long time. Is your body ok?”
Once he heard that, Ji Wei"s heart was overflowing with hatred. After he fought with Ji Yang, he laid on a bed for several days. Now, his hands and feet still hurt from time to time. He suspected that it was his muscles and bones. When he went to get checked, [the injury] still couldn"t be found. He was seething with anger and bit his teeth, "Very good!" (1)
Ji Yang nodded, "That"s good."
He had a very mild and calm expression as if he didn"t put him [Ji Wei] in his eyes. It made Ji Wei speechless, who had prepared to make him [Ji Yang] look embarra.s.sed.
“Jia Jia, don"t drink alcohol," he saw Zheng Jiayue take a gla.s.s of fruit wine. Ji Yang moved forward by two steps and took the gla.s.s in her hand. The two people walked to one side.
Ji Wei was elegantly ignored.
In the past, when he met Ji Yang, that guy would become like a hedgehog after being mocked a little. When he [Ji Wei] worked with him [Ji Yang], he [Ji Yang] would usually be stuck in a dilemma. Why was it so abnormal today?
However, thinking about the plan for a while, he looked at Ning Wen. The other party was shyly bowing her head. Seeing this, his mouth turned up and his eyes filled with complacency.
Ji Yang, this guy, had a good business mind. Naturally, he would make good use of it.

"Everyone, welcome to Jiayue"s birthday party. I am here to thank you. Everyone…” Father Zheng was gentle and cultivated. He made a speech on stage and invited Zheng Jiayue to come to the stage after he finished.
When Zheng Jiayue went up, Father Zheng said with a smile, "My daughter is twenty-two years old this year. I will transfer 15% of Zheng business shares to her name.”
Zheng Jiayue stared blankly. Her first reaction was to refuse, but she accepted with Father Zheng"s insistence.
She took the microphone, held it in both hands, and looked at the man in the audience. Her palms were sweating. She summoned up her courage and said, “Today is my birthday, and it"s also the fourth anniversary of being together with A Yang. I hope that we can be like this in the future, just like these four years…"
Her soft words continuously came through the microphone, echoing.
“The woman"s mind is not clear." Naturally, Yin Rong and Father Ji also came. Looking at Zheng Jiayue on the stage, they were disgusted. “Xiao Wei can"t compare with Ji Yang? The original marriage partner was Xiao Wei. Isn"t she embarra.s.sing us?"
