I am a Good Man- Chapter 5
Arc 1: Childhood Sweethearts from Rich Households
Translated by ILoveToProcrastinate
Many people were waiting to see Zheng Jiayue"s joke, but they didn"t expect such a big reversal. Ning Wen and the others were also so angry that they bit their teeth when they watched this scene.
Zheng Jiayue was currently with Ji Yang. Her eyes were soft. She asked gently, "Do you want to go up and have a rest?”
The other party had been rushing back and forth at Zheng business"s bidding these two days, and she knew that he was very excellent. After leaving the Ji business, they could still live very well.
"Indeed, I"m a little sleepy," Ji Yang showed a bit of tiredness. “I haven"t slept much these days.”
"It"ll still take a while before the party is over. A Yang, go up to have a rest. It"ll be fine if I greet," she said as she reached out her hand to straighten out his tie for the other party. When she looked at his bloodshot eyes, her heart ached even more.
Before he could reply, Ning Wen came over slowly with a gla.s.s of red wine in her hand. She smiled and said, “Jiayue, today is your birthday. I haven"t had a drink with you yet.”
Zheng Jiayue smiled back and picked up the wine cup beside her, but Ji Yang took it. The other party held up the gla.s.s slightly towards Ning Wen. “Miss Ning, Jia Jia has a bad capacity for liquor, I"ll drink it for her.”
The words fell and a cup was all drank up.
Ning Wen did not expect his behavior and her expression became stiff for a bit. She also squeezed out a smile, “Ji Yang always really loves Jia Jia dearly."
She heard about the recent matter that Ji Yang had undoubtedly become promising and young with good prospects again. Even if his company was not successful, it would make great achievements.
Ji Yang lightly smiled as a greeting and didn"t say anything more.
Ji Yang was very close to Zheng Jiayue. Without waiting for a moment, he kissed her forehead and said softly, “I"ll go up and rest a bit first. I"ll come down in half an hour.”
Zheng Jiayue was always in love with him and she immediately said, "A Yang, you go to my room to rest."
"I"ll just go to the guest room. I"ve just come back. I"m dirty," Ji Yang said, walking over to one side. "Call me if something happens."
"I don"t ignore you," Zheng Jiayue restrained from smiling, her eyes full of happiness.
He was always like this, for fear of wronging her and causing her trouble.
"He already walked so far away. Still watching?" those several women from a moment ago also came over and ridiculed, “I didn"t expect that Ji Yang would be so willing and give you the original shares.”
Saying it like this, they were the only ones who knew how sour their hearts were.
They had just belittled Zheng Jiayue. In a flash, her fiancé gave her shares. Ji Yang, as the founder, was holding the original shares which were the most valuable.
Shares were likely to be something they wouldn"t be able to touch in their whole life. Unless they strived to have several sons after marriage, their father-in-law may attach importance to them and reward them a little.
Zheng Jiayue smiled but didn"t speak.
She and Ji Yang"s affairs with their parents were seldom talked about. She didn"t want to say more about this type of thing even more. Ji Yang put it away for her and she knew that the other party wanted to give her a sense of security.
Being around him had always been the happiest thing for her.
“Ji Yang was always like this to Jiayue," Ning Wen said with a smile. "All his properties are all under Jiayue"s name."
This was the thing that made her the most jealous. Ji Yang could be like this to Zheng Jiayue, and naturally could be like this to her. As long as you held this man, you could have everything.
Hearing this, several people were more jealous and their smiles were very phony. Seeing Zheng Jiayue"s expression sharpen, they thought that Zheng Jiayue was stupid, but it turned out that she wasn"t stupid.
If they had known earlier that Ji Yang was this easy to control, they would also go on. The properties and shares would be in their own hands. That would be skill!
"It"s just using a name," Zheng Jiayue frowned slightly, looking at Ning Wen who smiled innocuously and [Zheng Jiayue] answered lightly.
"Houses are getting more and more valuable these days," one of them laughed. "Where is the house? Isn"t a villa?"
The emotion between the words couldn"t be hidden.
"It"s a villa and it"s by the sea," Ning Wen then answered with envy, "It"s more than 800 square meters and it also has a back garden.”
She didn"t let Zheng Jiayue speak first, as if it was said without much thought.
Zheng Jiayue"s complexion became a bit cold. Especially those people who were inquiring about Ji Yang"s annual salary and indirectly asking about their house price. Her guard was on alert for her husband. She deeply regretted that Ning Wen had dug up the information before.
Her temper was usually gentle. Only she knew that most of her thoughts were actually about herself and Ji Yang. She was too lazy to pay attention to it [schemes]. So long as Ji Yang was involved, she would immediately raise her vigilance.
“That"s just the Ji business development project," Zheng Jiayue answered. "It"s not worth any money. It"s cheap there.”
Ning Wen sneered at the bottom of her heart. Now that land is extremely expensive in that area. Zheng Jiayue is also afraid of Ji Yang becoming hot? She [Zheng Jiayue] was not as good as she [Ning Wen] would have liked, pretending to ask, "Is it? Isn"t the villa over at Sanwan? The price has been continuously going up."
“No matter how much Sanwan grows, it"s not as fast as the increasing value in the city.” Zheng Jiayue continued. "A Yang said that that investment had a deficit and is about to be sold soon."
“Sanwan.”
"There are several ten thousand square feet there."
…
Several people talked, Ning Wen"s face became white and she didn"t speak any more. She tried to reduce the sense of her existence as much as possible and her face was embarra.s.sed.
Several ten thousand square feet was a huge number of her which was unattainable. When this group of people was talking, she only casually mentioned things and she almost didn"t say much just a while ago. Otherwise, she would have exposed herself.
During this time, Ning Wen"s mobile phone vibrated for a bit. Her eyes had irrepressible excitement. She walked away slowly and went upstairs.
She didn"t know if it was because of being too hot, that her heart beat faster and faster and her face became more and more red.
With Ji Wei"s promised life and Ji Yang who was liberal with money, she suddenly felt that she was at the peak of life.
Following the room number on her mobile phone, she pushed open the door and turned off the light inside. At a glance, she saw the man sleeping in the bed with a pleased smile on his lips.
Ji Yang looked good. To be able to sleep with Zheng Jiayue"s man, she was the winner in life.
What about deep feelings? She had the ability to take advantage step by step. She must let Zheng Jiayue taste what is pain!
When she got to the bedside, she only felt that her head was getting more and more dizzy, the room was fragrant, and saw that the man"s face was becoming more and more fuzzy. But, she could not care so much, took off her clothes, and felt more and more uncomfortable. Her consciousness became more and more fuzzy. Being unable to hold back, she threw herself to the man.
And the sleeping man also moved and acted in collusion with her.
Ji Yang wasn"t a good product. Ning Wen"s heart became even more proud of herself and more bold.
*
Two hours after Ning Wen was woken up by a noise, she thought of her recent action and her heart was greatly satisfied.
Seeing that no one was beside her already and the bedsheets were messy, it seemed like that Ji Yang was afraid and escaped.
But what about it? It still can"t change the fact that the two people have already been in bed.
If Zheng Jiayue knew it, perhaps she would be furious?
With a glance at the time, the party was also coming to an end. She hurried to tidy up and went downstairs.
“Ning Wen, where have you been?” Zheng Jiayue doubted.
“Ah? I was a little sleepy just now, then I went to the guest room and fell asleep accidentally," Ning Wen said shyly, secretly glancing at Ji Yang, who was beside Zheng Jiayue. He had already changed his clothes, which was really fast.
"Or you can sleep here tonight. There are many guest rooms," Zheng Jiayue spoke.
“How embarra.s.sing," Ning Wen lowered her head and bit her lips, and she slowly flushed red.
What if Ji Yang cames back in the middle of the night? After all, that man just said that she had a good figure. Just a moment ago, he was wrapped around her. It seemed like he was tired of Zheng Jiayue. Men were just like that. She thought that her ability in bed was much better than Zheng Jiayue.
Zheng Jiayue was baffled by her response, but she didn"t think much about it at this time. When she saw someone coming from the door, she immediately went up to welcome.
“Cousin.” (1)
Xu He, the niece of Mother Zheng"s family, has always been friends with Zheng Jiayue. She is a small celebrity with a good family background. She has two elder brothers who spoil her. Her temper is really not small.
Such as now, she just smiled and saw Ning Wen behind Zheng Jiayue and she instantly became indifferent. She glanced up and down at her, narrowed her eyes, and directly said, "Where did your clothes come from?"
Ning Wen was thinking about how to further hook up with Ji Yang. Being suddenly asked, she stared blankly in the same place.
“Where are the clothes from?" Xu He stood in front of her as if she was a little angry. "I asked you. Where are the clothes from?"
“Cousin?” Zheng Jiayue also hurriedly went to reconcile. "This is my roommate.”
“I know, that"s why I asked," Xu He looked at her with her eyelids lifted. “Where were these clothes customized?"
“Cousin, it"s not customized," Zheng Jiayue whispered and thought that Xu He couldn"t stand Ning Wen. Her temper was going to flare up again. It was not good to make noise now.
"Of course it"s customized. Customized for 150000 yuan, isn"t it?" Xu He looked at Ning Wen and raised her voice. “Unfortunately, ah, I also customized this dress for tomorrow"s evening party. Isn"t it unique? Why are you wearing it?"
Xu He"s first reaction was that Ning Wen used her relationships to steal her customized clothes and even wore them to the party. If word gets out, does she still want her reputation? Naturally, she was very angry.
Zheng Jiayue was stunned.
She thought Ning Wen had rented the dress and the other party had the money to customize it? And clothes for 150000 yuan? How is it possible?
Ning Wen"s face was deathly white and her dangling hands were slightly trembling.
It seemed that Xu He wouldn"t leave the matter at that. She really did go to customize it. The money Ji Wei gave was considered to be the fees for the hard work this time, but she couldn"t admit it. If she did, wouldn"t Zheng Jiayue know that she had money? How could she still cry to her in the future? How could she still get close to Zheng Jiayue? If she doesn"t admit it… she looked at the several young ladies that she just wanted to make friends with behind her, doesn"t she have to admit that she is a pauper?
