Chapter 67 The Fool's True Self is the Demon Lord
Shen Zhi was overjoyed, and Yin Nan asked with a gloomy face to sleep in a separate bed from Shen Zhi.
"I won't sleep on the floor anymore," Shen Zhi stated his attitude firmly.
Yin Nan was forced to sleep on the floor.
Shen Zhi went to the field humming a song in a good mood and met Qi Wenyan on the way.
Qi Wenyan was accompanied by someone who was dressed neatly and formally and did not look like an ordinary person.
Shen Zhi took one look at the man and felt he looked familiar. He was about to leave without giving it any careful thought, but Qi Wenyan suddenly called him.
"Xiao Zhi, go to the fields," Qi Wenyan looked at Shen Zhi's miserable appearance, and remembered that before he was the one working in the fields while Shen Zhi was lying at home doing nothing. Now, everything has been reversed.
Qi Wenyan let out a long sigh and felt much better.
Shen Zhi nodded indifferently, and then he heard Qi Wenyan say to the person beside him: "Mr. Lu, this is my sister-in-law, she is an educated youth from the city."
Qi Wenyan smiled, but his words sounded sarcastic.
The man called Mr. Lu has a handsome appearance. He is not outstanding in looks, but he gives people a sense of calmness and reliability. This time he wants to buy Qi Wenyan's secret recipe for brewing wine and offers 50,000 for it.
Qi Wenyan was not satisfied with the price and asked for two hundred thousand. Lu Cong prepared to go back with Qi Wenyan to see if Qi Wenyan's wine was worth the price.
Unexpectedly, he ran into Young Master Shen. Lu Cong recognized Shen Zhi, the young master of Shen's Department Store. Young Master Shen's mother was the only daughter of a master of traditional Chinese painting. Now Young Master Shen's mother died of illness and his grandfather was sent to the countryside.
Miss Shen, whose whereabouts are unknown, has now married into the village. It really makes people sigh at her ill-fated fate.
"Young Master Shen," Lu Cong greeted Shen Zhi. Young Master and the like are products of the upper class, but Lu Cong was raised as a servant of the Lu family since he was a child, so calling him that made Shen Zhi feel more familiar.
Shen Zhi looked at Lu Cong carefully for a while and asked hesitantly, "Is he from the Lu family?"
Lu Cong nodded. The Lu family knew Shen Zhi’s maternal grandfather, and the two families had been neighbors before. Shen Zhi had met Lu Cong.
Qi Wenyan felt ignored and felt resentful. The big shot he had finally found turned out to be from Shen Zhi's previous social circle. God was so unfair. Why did all the good things belong to Shen Zhi?
How could Shen Zhi get all these so easily, while I worked so hard but couldn't even touch Shen Zhi's feet.
"Host, don't be angry. His current situation is far worse than yours," the system said comfortingly, immediately soothing the pain in Qi Wenyan's heart.
No matter how good Shen Zhi's life was before, what difference does it make? Now he still works in the fields under the scorching sun, living the same life as before.
Qi Wenyan raised his chin, as if to send Shen Zhi away, "Xiao Zhi, go to the fields quickly. It's hard to work at noon. It'll make you dizzy from the heat."
Shen Zhi ignored Qi Wenyan and did not leave. He walked to Lu Cong. There was something he really wanted to ask. Lu Cong was the most capable person in the Lu family and he knew a lot about all the big and small things in the business world.
Shen Zhi pursed his lips, "Is my grandfather being sent to the countryside related to Zhou Meiling and Shen Siyi?"
Lu Cong was silent for a while, thinking that the young master in his family who was not lost was probably about the same age as Shen Zhi. Those who loved their children lost their children, while those who did not lose their children were treated harshly. It was right to say that things in this world are unpredictable.
Lu Cong couldn't bear to deceive, but he couldn't say anything.
Shen Zhi knew the truth from Lu Cong's attitude, "I'm leaving first," Shen Zhi turned his head and said goodbye first.
Shen Zhi arrived at the field and weeded dejectedly. The sun was shining brightly and made him dizzy, but he did not stop, as if he wanted to numb himself with this simple, repetitive action.
How dare Shen Siyi and Zhou Meiling? Shen Siyi used his grandfather's resources and connections to reach this height, and Zhou Meiling enjoyed the treatment of Mrs. Shen after her mother's death. Now she wants to bite back and kill him.
Shen Zhi didn't stop until he was exhausted, his heart filled with hatred, and he would never let them go.
The sun was at its highest point in the sky, and gradually shrank into a point of light in Shen Zhi's eyes, making him almost dizzy.
Shen Zhi lay on the ground, allowing himself to be exposed to the strong sunlight. Shen Zhi's fragile skin felt the pain. He should have been sitting in the studio sketching the human body, not repeating this boring work day after day.
But Shen Zhi was no longer qualified to choose anything. All he had were the drawing board and paints that Jiang Dongsheng bought for him. Those were his own possessions that he could temporarily avoid.
Shen Zhi thought of Jiang Dongsheng again, before and after he lost his memory. He thought he liked him because Jiang Dongsheng took care of everything like a servant who only listened to him.
Later, when Shen Zhi heard that Jiang Dongsheng got into trouble because of his grandfather, he suddenly realized that it seemed to be that reason but also more than that reason. Since his mother passed away, he had no place in the Shen family. Shen Zhi had long forgotten the feeling of being held in someone's heart.
After Jiang Dongsheng lost his memory, he took over Jiang Dongsheng's previous job. He was very tired and hard-working, but it didn't matter. He just wanted to prove that he didn't like Jiang Dongsheng just because he was an obedient fool.
He's not that bad.
Shen Zhi closed his eyes and thought, let's just sleep like this, maybe everything will return to normal after waking up.
The chirping of cicadas in the dense trees did not bring any coolness, but the hoarse and eerie calls of birds added a hint of chill.
Gu Diao Chong reported to Yin Nan, "Qi Wenyan has returned with a man, and he wants to buy his secret recipe for brewing wine."
Yin Nan propped up his legs, put one hand on his chin, and frowned, "If Qi Wenyan's business grows bigger, he will have to pay a higher price. By then, another energy in Qi Wenyan's body will take the lead, and we may not be able to obtain the Chongming Mirror."
Yin Nan's words of analyzing the pros and cons also caused Gu Diao to think deeply.
"Timing is indeed important. Those who are close to the water will get the moon first. For example, that big rooster came only a few months earlier than me, and my Ah Hua has laid countless eggs for him. This bastard who is inconsiderate to the hen should disappear," Gu Diao jumped up and tried to persuade Yin Nan, "Haha, master, stew it to save Ah Hua."
Yin Nan: ...
"Who named it Ahua?" If Yin Nan guessed correctly, the villagers would not name a hen that was raised for laying eggs.
Soon, Yin Nan saw the shyness on Gu Diao's face. Gu Diao tried to cover it up with its extremely unpleasant voice, "Master, don't you think it looks like a flower?"
"Get lost!" Yin Nan was scolded maliciously by Gu Diao.
He had never heard anyone compare a hen to a flower. No, neither had he heard anyone compare a bird to a flower. Could it be that the aesthetic taste of birds was so different from that of humans?
If we have to talk about flowers, Yin Nan dreamed last night that Shen Zhi, whose body was covered with pink and relaxed, was more like a flower, budding and about to bloom, releasing himself layer by layer from the inside out, and his crystal clear sweat beads were extremely sweet.
Yin Nan's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and his ears reddened when he thought of what Shen Zhi had done to him in the morning. How could there be a person like Shen Zhi who enjoys teasing others?
It's so boring.
Yin Nan frowned and looked at the Gu Diao who had not yet left, and said in a bad tone: "Why don't you get out?"
Gu Diao was very angry that Yin Nan did not agree with his praise of Ah Hua. He was not going to let Yin Nan off easily either, and said ambiguously: "Shen Zhi, your wife, is with Jiang Nian now."
Gu Diao looked at Yin Nan's indifferent face and continued, "You may not know this, but Shen Zhi married you after she broke up with Jiang Nian. They are probably renewing their past relationship now."
The bird's words were as unpleasant to the ears as Yin Nan's. This is probably what it means when a pet follows its owner.
The Gu Diao learned all of Yin Nan's arrogance and pride. Before the unidentified object thrown by Yin Nan reached it, it flapped its wings lightly and flew away, avoiding the attack of the ruthless Demon Lord.
Yin Nan got off the bed in a rage. He wanted to see how Shen Zhi, this cunning, lazy and cunning man, could cheat on him.
Yin Nan packed up and went out, just in time to meet Qi Wenyan taking the man mentioned by Gu Diao out.
Qi Wenyan shuddered when he met Yin Nan's cold eyes. He still remembered how he almost vomited his stomach the last time he ate an egg from Yin Nan.
Qi Wenyan didn't want to experience that feeling worse than death again. Although he didn't know whether it was Jiang Dongsheng who did it, Jiang Dongsheng who had returned to normal still frightened him.
Qi Wenyan's feet were fixed in place, and the system slowly spoke, "Host, most of Jiang Dongsheng's memories have been transferred. Now you just need to bring Lu Cong to the Son of the World. It will be a good thing for you if the Son of the World is found by the Lu family."
"He will thank you in the future," the system's last sentence barely calmed Qi Wenyan down.
Lu Cong beside him stared at Jiang Dongsheng closely and asked Qi Wenyan who this was.
Qi Wenyan did not hide it, and Lu Cong almost couldn't wait to step forward.
"Hello, I'm the Lu family's housekeeper, my name is Lu Cong." Lu Cong stretched out his hand and secretly sighed in his heart, they looked so much like Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu, they looked exactly the same.
It was hard for him not to suspect that this was the young master who was abducted. If it was really done by the Jiang family, the Lu family would definitely make them pay the price they deserved.
Yin Nan didn't know Lu Cong. When he saw Lu Cong's slightly excited expression, he stopped.
"Jiang Dongsheng," Yin Nan said in an icy voice, neither humble nor arrogant.
Lu Cong did not panic. He handed his business card to Yin Nan and left in a hurry. He wanted to report to Mr. Lu.
Yin Nan glanced at Qi Wenyan's forehead, and the previous red light disappeared and was replaced by a faint black gas.
Someone is going to be in trouble, but it has nothing to do with him. While the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, he is the one who will ultimately reap the fruits of victory.
Yin Nan arrived at the field along the route he remembered. The wheat was lush and green but not even as tall as his calves. Yin Nan looked around but didn't see anyone.
An ambiguous sound came from behind the big tree. If Yin Nan was not too familiar with Shen Zhi, he would not have been able to tell at the first moment that the soft and seductive breathing came from Shen Zhi's mouth.
Exactly the same as last night.
Yin Nan's face was as gloomy as water, and there was a dark light in his eyes. In their eyes, if a brother-in-law had an affair with his sister-in-law, he would be punished by being buried in the pond.
Why not let Jiang Nian learn from it first?
As Yin Nan walked over, Shen Zhi's breathing became louder and louder. Yin Nan's expression was so ugly that it could not be described.
"Shen..." Before Yin Nan could say anything, he saw Shen Zhi leaning against a tree with his eyes closed, while Jiang Nian beside him was fanning him.
Jiang Nian was startled when he saw him, then made way for him and explained, "Xiao Zhi fainted from heatstroke while working."
Shen Zhi slowly opened his eyes when he heard the movement, his chest rising and falling, and he looked at Yin Nan with misty eyes. Seeing a familiar person, he suddenly felt aggrieved. He stretched out his hand to Yin Nan softly and said with a pout, "Jiang Dongsheng!"
Yin Nan's heart made a dull sound as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer. His eyes swept across his sweaty temples and flushed cheeks, and he felt a little regretful.
He regretted treating Shen Zhi like this.
Yin Nan walked over and held him in his arms, secretly urging his strength to make Shen Zhi feel more comfortable. When Shen Zhi closed his eyes again, Yin Nan stroked his cheek and whispered, "There won't be a next time."
He is not Jiang Dongsheng, so don't call him that.
