Chapter 199 Procrastination

"Qingzhou, you were born perfect, with piles of gold and jade, and people always provide you with food, drink and entertainment. You don't understand why people like us are obsessed with fame and fortune."

"But I'm different. I was born in the swamp mud and I've spent my whole life just trying to live a better life."

"You said you regretted helping me. You're right. You're too kind. Your help pulled me out of trouble and allowed me to see a brighter future."

"But human desires are endless. I always want to become stronger so that I won't be suppressed by others."

"As long as there is someone over my head, I will feel insecure and I will be worried all the time."

"I'm afraid that someday the people above me will dislike me and pull me out like straw and throw me into the wilderness."

"You don't understand this feeling. You only know that I was wrong and I deceived you. How can you not reach higher peaks with me?"

"You are mine, living or dead, you must be mine."

"You gave me the opportunity to climb up, how can you just give up on me?"

Xu Shiming didn't even look at Ruan Qingzhou, and he spoke to the empty window.

It seemed as if the several grown men standing in the room were just decorations, and he was confessing his feelings to Ruan Qingzhou, who had turned into a ghost.

But Ruan Qingzhou was disgusted, and he finally realized that talking to Xu Shiming was like talking to a cow.

"Xu Yansheng, quickly order him. Damn it, I should have known that this guy was hopeless. Why did I say all these nonsense to him?"

Xu Yansheng didn't pay much attention to what they were talking about. He seemed to be in a daze. Qiu Tingxu tapped his forehead.

His forehead turned slightly red, and Xu Yansheng, who had come back to his senses, looked at Qiu Tingxu in confusion.

Qiu Tingxu asked him, "Master Yan, what are you still daydreaming about at this time?"

Xu Yansheng said seriously, "I was wondering why they talk so much. They are so long-winded."

Ruan Qingzhou: "...Who are you calling long-winded?"

Xu Yansheng glanced at him, not giving him any face at all, and replied indifferently: "You and Xu Shiming are both very long-winded."

Then, no matter how angry Ruan Qingzhou was, he stared at Xu Shiming and began to cast a spell.

"Xu Shiming, arrange a press conference immediately to explain that I am the orphan of Xu Shijun and his wife, and return the Xu family to me."

Even though Xu Shiming was unwilling from the bottom of his heart, he knew very well that Xu Yansheng's words and magic could not be violated. It was just a matter of time.

The effect of Xu Yansheng's words and spirit arts now is obviously much stronger than when he was a child, which made him say that Xu's group would be the richest group in Nan'an City, and it took a long time for them to gradually gain a firm foothold.

But now, after Xu Yansheng proposed the request to return the Xu family, Xu Shiming clearly felt the force of coercion forcing him to express his agreement.

And let him implement it.

"good."

But this process doesn't stop him from doing other things, right?

"But you also know that with my current physical condition, attending the press conference will only arouse their suspicion. Why not..."

He wanted to make a condition that they would restore him to his youthful appearance, but he overestimated himself.

Xu Yansheng looked at him coldly, "Do you think you still have room for negotiation?"

Nie Jianxi also heard what he was thinking, so he gently advised: "Mr. Xu, I have said before that the backlash is irreversible. We are already going against the will of heaven by being able to save your life. Don't be greedy."

Xu Shiming was silent for a moment, then asked, "Can you let my wife in? This is such a big matter, I need to discuss it with my family."

Ruan Qingzhou sneered: "It's funny, you still need to discuss with others before doing something? Don't dilly-dally, hurry up and finish it as soon as possible!"

Xu Shiming looked at him sadly: "Qingzhou, since I lost you, I realized how luxurious it is to have someone who understands me. I have already lost you, and I don't want to lose my wife who has been with me for twenty years."

Otherwise, how can people say that Xu Shiming knows how to hurt people's hearts? When he speaks to Ruan Qingzhou, he uses both soft and hard knives to stab people with all his might.

Even though Ruan Qingzhou had known for a long time that Xu Shiming was a disgusting bastard, he still couldn't help but be disgusted by this man again.

He couldn't stand this man anymore, "Fuck! Nie Jianxi, where's your bead? I really can't stand this bastard. When I see him now, I just want to kill him with a knife. Quick, quick, put me in the bead. It's better for me to fight with Qin Lang, that idiot, than to face this disgusting thing!"

Nie Jianxi felt that he was quite pitiful, but at the same time there was also a bit of humor in him.

But he also felt that he shouldn't laugh at Ruan Qingzhou at this time, so he pursed his lips and put Ruan Qingzhou into the bead, allowing the two clouds, one black and one white, to start fighting back and forth.

Qiu Tingxu was not as reserved as him, he just laughed out loud.

Pointing at Xu Shiming's nose, he said, "Good fellow, you are really strong. It is a skill to be able to disgust people like this."

"Even I, who is not involved in the incident, am disgusted. Turtle, I have never seen someone as shameless as you in my life."

"Hurry up and finish your business and leave. If I look at someone like you for one more second, I'll feel my body and mind are polluted."

Xu Shiming realized that it was no use just sitting there and waiting to die, so he admitted defeat and stood up. After looking around, he found that his slippers were not by the bed.

He frowned, "Where are my slippers?"

Nie Jianxi suddenly opened the door, "Qingfeng and the others are here."

In fact, Qiu Tingxu and the others didn't care whether the door was opened or not. It was just that Madam Xu was quite noisy and they didn't want to hear her chattering.

Qiu Tingxu heard Xu Shiming's question and insulted him: "Do you understand what your situation is now? If you don't have slippers, can't you find them yourself? You just ask for them?"

Mrs. Xu, who was outside the door, was very unhappy when she saw two more young men coming in and wanted to kick them out. However, the door that had been impregnable just now suddenly opened.

She didn't care about the person who had just come in. She rushed into the room with her eyes lighting up, and just happened to hear Qiu Tingxu's words.

He was also overjoyed to see that although Xu Shiming had become a little older, his physical condition had obviously improved.

"Honey, are you ready? Do you want some slippers? There are new ones in the shoe cabinet. I'll get them for you!"

After saying that, she hurriedly went to search the shoe cabinet in the master bedroom. Although she did live a good life after marrying Xu Shiming.

But in order to keep Xu Shiming by his side, he did many things himself.

So she took good care of Xu Shiming's life after he returned home.

Even though Xu Shiming didn't love her, he was dependent on her.

Besides that, she's also a very good knife to use.
