She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement

1043 Untitled

For a moment, only Lin Jiansheng and Mr. Zhang were left in the room.

Lin Jiansheng sat on the chair without saying a word. He was thinking about how to ask Mr. Zhang for custody of Ah Kong.

Before he could finish organizing his words, Mr. Zhang went straight to the point and said, “Are you prepared to acknowledge Ah Kong as your child?” When Lin Jiansheng said those words to Ah Kong in the morning, Mr. Zhang was actually standing outside the door, so he had heard everything.

He even suspected that Lin Jiansheng had deliberately said those words to Ah Kong after hearing his return to the base.

In fact, Lin Jiansheng did say it on purpose.

As a Purifying Spirit God, Lin Jiansheng’s psychic tentacles had already extended to the entire Ascension Town. When Mr. Zhang approached the entrance of the base, Lin Jiansheng sensed it. Ah Kong, who had been sleeping soundly, was also woken up by Lin Jiansheng on purpose.

He didn’t know how to ask Mr. Zhang for custody of Ah Kong in person, so he acted out what happened in the morning.

Since Mr. Zhang had taken the initiative to mention this matter, Lin Jiansheng no longer hid it.

Nodding his head, Lin Jiansheng said, “Mr. Zhang, I’m fated with Ah Kong. In my previous life, he was my adopted son. He sacrificed himself to help me achieve my current cultivation level. I…” Lin Jiansheng looked up at Mr. Zhang and said with determination,” I want to register his name on my identity card and make him my legal son. ”

“Mr. Zhang, I have to be thick-skinned and ask you for custody of Ah Kong.”

Lin Jiansheng was determined to get Ah Kong.

He felt that his meeting Ah Kong in Ascension Town was God’s arrangement.

In his previous life, Kong Qing had suffered too much, so in this life, Lin Jiansheng wanted to dote on him and let him grow up healthy in a loving atmosphere.

In this life, Lin Jiansheng had to give Ah Kong everything he lacked and regretted in his previous life.

Mr. Zhang could naturally tell that Lin Jiansheng was sincere to Ah Kong.

But…

Mr. Zhang shook his head and said, “If you had asked me for custody of Ah Kong yesterday afternoon, I might have agreed. But after knowing Ah Kong’s identity and knowing that he wasn’t proof of Qingya’s betrayal of me, I’ve come to accept this child from the bottom of my heart.”

“He’s the only bloodline Qingya left in the world. Forgive me for not letting you take him away.” Mr. Zhang rejected him firmly.

Seeing that Mr. Zhang wasn’t easy to deal with, Lin Jiansheng was momentarily speechless.

Mr. Zhang stared at Lin Jiansheng’s fierce and terrifying face for a moment before suddenly asking with a frown, “Did you recognize Ah Kong right from the first time you saw him?”

“Of course.” A Purifying Spirit Master was most familiar with a person’s soul. Ah Kong’s soul was the same as Kong Qing’s. When Lin Jiansheng first saw Ah Kong at the beef noodle restaurant, he immediately recognized him.

Mr. Zhang couldn’t help but reveal a puzzled expression.

Mr. Zhang said in confusion, “There’s something I’ve been wondering about.”

Lin Jiansheng nodded and said, “Please speak.”

Mr. Zhang said, “Mr. Lin, since you’ve long decided to acknowledge Ah Kong as your child, why did you tell me the truth about Ah Kong’s identity last night? If you didn’t say it, I would have treated him as a stain. Under those circumstances, if you asked me for custody of him, I might have given him to you after some hesitation.”

“You knew that after I found out that Ah Kong wasn’t a child born from Qingya’s affair, I would lose my prejudice against him and even love this child more because of Qingya’s death. Why did you choose to tell me the truth instead of hiding it?”

Mr. Zhang couldn’t figure it out.

He felt that Lin Jiansheng’s actions were contradictory.

If Lin Jiansheng wanted to acknowledge Ah Kong as his child, what he said last night was unnecessary.

“Why?” Lin Jiansheng smiled. Then, he stared at Mr. Zhang with a meaningful gaze as he said in a low voice, “Because I love that child, I don’t want you to treat him as a stain. Regardless of whether I can obtain custody in the end, I want you to love him.”

“It’s true that I want to obtain custody of Ah Kong, but I care about Ah Kong’s happiness even more. If Ah Kong chose to be with you, I would force myself to let go. However, Ah Kong chose me.” Lin Jiansheng’s tiger eyes were filled with determination and persistence as he said, “Mr. Zhang, Ah Kong chose me.”

Lin Jiansheng was telling Mr. Zhang that Ah Kong was a person, not an object.

Items didn’t have autonomy and could be left to anyone.

But humans were different.

Ah Kong had his own thoughts, so they should respect Ah Kong’s decision, instead of restraining Ah Kong’s freedom and selfishly keeping him by his side.

Mr. Zhang’s gaze gradually turned cold. He pointed at the door and said, “It’s dawn, so it’s time for my base to open for work. Mr. Lin, forgive me for being busy with work and not having time to entertain you any longer.”

He was asking Lin Jiansheng to leave.

Lin Jiansheng knew that it wouldn’t be easy to get custody of Ah Kong from Mr. Zhang, so he was prepared to pester Mr. Zhang till the end.

After standing up, Lin Jiansheng said, “Thank you for taking me in last night, Mr. Zhang. I’ll take my leave now.”

After Lin Jiansheng left, Mr. Zhang bit his cigarette as he sat in the dining room alone for a long time. He didn’t even know when Sheng Xiao left after washing the dishes.

The plant cultivation base was diagonally opposite the cotton shop. It wasn’t clear what the owner’s name was, The owner was very dark. His skin and hair were black, so his white teeth left a deep impression on people.

Everyone called him the black-hearted boss.

When He Zhiqiu arrived, the base had been open for a long time already. The ascendants who had come to participate in the assessment had already opened their reports and gone to their respective plantation bases.

Seeing He Zhiqiu, the black-hearted boss rolled his eyes as usual and said to He Zhiqiu, “It’s been ten years, two months, and eight days. He Zhiqiu, the age spots on your face have increased from one to seven…” The black-hearted boss said, “Don’t die of old age in my base.”

The black-hearted boss wasn’t cursing He Zhiqiu, but he was fed up with seeing He Zhiqiu’s face everyday.

He sincerely hoped that He Zhiqiu would leave Ascension Town as soon as possible.

He Zhiqiu leaned on his walking stick as he walked and his back was hunched. He indeed looked like he didn’t have long to live.

He Zhiqiu was used to hearing such words and knew that the black-hearted boss had no ill intentions, so he didn’t care. He turned around and pointed at Yu Huang as he said to the black-hearted boss, “Can I bring my friend to the base to take a look?”

The black-hearted boss looked at Yu Huang.

“You’re Yu Huang from the Holy Spirit Continent?”

Yu Huang didn’t expect the black-hearted boss to know her. She was somewhat shocked, but she didn’t show it on her face. She nodded calmly and revealed a puzzled expression at the black-hearted boss.

The black-hearted boss said, “What did Baldy say to you that day?” The scene of Zhou Yue walking into the cotton shop to strike up a conversation with Yu Huang that day was seen by many people. Now, many people were spreading rumors that Zhou Yue had taken a fancy to this little girl who had ascended from the Holy Spirit Continent.
