After rebirth, my wealthy ex-husband pushed me against the wall and kissed me
Chapter 294 We Are Like Eloping
"I don't believe it." Shen Tingnuo said disdainfully, "That man is cheating on her. Any normal person would run away."
Gu Si also smiled and said nothing, deliberately slowing down his pace.
Shen Tingnuo listened to the two people arguing. He had to say that the sound insulation in the nearby houses was really poor. He could even hear the sounds of them smashing pots and bowls clearly. After the dull sound of the table falling to the ground, the woman's accusations and insults took a sharp turn.
"Wang Ming, tell me, who is prettier, me or that woman?"
Hearing this, Shen Tingnuo was puzzled.
"Of course you are good-looking!" The man's affectionate voice continued.
Shen Tingnuo got goosebumps all over his body. Why did she suddenly become feminine while arguing?
The woman was arguing in the wrong direction.
"So do you love me or that woman?" The woman's more explosive question rang out in the alley.
"Of course I love you!" the man answered without hesitation.
You can tell how pretentious a man is just by listening to the voice, but a woman who is deeply in the whirlpool of emotions can't hear it at all.
Then the quarreling stopped, and another kind of "quarrel" sound was heard "yayaya" deep in the alley.
This reversal was so unexpected that Shen Tingnuo was unable to react for a moment.
"Look, I was right. They reconciled."
The boy's muffled laughter rang in her ears, and Shen Tingnuo's cheeks became hot uncontrollably. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong with her whole body, especially the "yayaya" sounds that were getting louder and louder, almost enough to pierce the roof.
Don’t they know that the soundproofing in the neighboring houses is very poor?
How embarrassing it would be if the neighbors heard it!
"Hurry up!"
Unable to bear listening any longer, Shen Tingnuo urged the boy who was walking slowly in front of him.
"There's a ghost ahead, I'm scared." Gu Si also joked, but his pace was much faster than before.
Shen Tingnuo did not respond to him. In order to get away from the voice as quickly as possible, she kept walking with her head down. She did not notice the puddle under her feet and stepped into it. Her foot sprained and she fell uncontrollably towards the damp and moldy wall.
It was as if Gu Si had a pair of eyes behind him and he noticed Shen Tingnuo's abnormality at the first moment. He turned sideways, stretched out his long arms, and hugged the girl steadily, while his back rested against the wall.
Being hugged tightly by the boy, with his head resting on his chest, Shen Tingnuo could hear his strong heartbeat.
"Are you okay?" A nervous voice of concern came from above my head.
Shen Tingnuo raised her eyes, and in the dim light, she could vaguely see the obvious worry on Gu Siye's face.
"It's okay." She shook her head and looked at him intently.
Gu Si also lowered his eyes, staring at the girl with his dark eyes, "Why are you so careless?"
"I stepped into a puddle and sprained my ankle. It seems my shoes are wet." Shen Tingnuo felt his toes were a little cold.
"Let me carry you out." Gu Si also wanted to take her out of the alley.
This kind of place is not suitable for a young lady.
"Now that we're here, let's find the address first." Shen Tingnuo put his hands on his chest, trying to get out of his arms.
Gu Siye tightened his arms around her waist, his eyes deep and heavy, staring at the girl quietly.
His voice suddenly became a little hoarse, "Nono, from the beginning I have been thinking that this is a bit like eloping."
Shen Tingnuo was amused by his words, "Who would run away to such a dark and wet place? The environment is too bad. Even rats need to navigate."
The alleys in the West District are also dark and wet, but they are not as dirty and messy, and there are street lights.
However, the alleys in the southern district are not only dark and wet, there are not even any street lights, and there is a pile of garbage on the ground.
If she really eloped to a place like this, she would rather commit suicide for love.
Gu Si also smiled softly and looked at her seriously: "If we go somewhere else that is a hundred times better than here, are you willing to go with me?"
"Going somewhere else?" Shen Tingnuo murmured to himself.
"Yes, let's go to a place where there are only you and me, but you need to give up everything you have." Gu Si also wanted to take her away, but he was worried that she would not be able to let go of her family and friends.
"What about you?" Shen Tingnuo asked the boy, "If I asked you to give up everything you have and leave here with me, would you be willing? Including those friends you have known for many years, such as Zhang Dao and Su Sui."
If it really came to the point of leaving, Shen Tingnuo didn't want to go with Gu Si, after all, there were too many uncertain factors.
She was afraid that if their life was unhappy in the future, Gu Si would blame her for it.
She couldn't bear such a heavy burden, so she had to leave alone.
They shouldn't have been together in the first place.
Gu Si was silent for a moment. In just two seconds, he made a choice and said resolutely: "As long as I can be with you, I am willing to give up everything I have, including friends and career..."
Without waiting for the boy to finish, Shen Tingnuo covered his lips and smiled awkwardly, "Don't take it so seriously. I will take it seriously."
She knew in her heart that he couldn't do it.
She knew how much Gu Si cared about his friends, and Yu Ranran was the best example.
So if she was going to leave, she would leave alone. She would not take him with her, and she would not let him give up everything he had because of her and go to a strange place to start over.
Gu Si also took the little hand covering his lips, lowered his head and kissed her devoutly, "Nunuo, what I said is true, you can take it seriously."
I don't know when the "yayaya" sounds in my ears stopped, and the alley returned to its original noisy state.
"Okay, I know what you said is true. Let's go quickly. It stinks around here." Shen Tingnuo urged him, deliberately avoiding the topic.
Gu Si also saw that the girl could hardly hide her disgust for the surrounding environment on her face. He didn't know what to say and just kept walking forward.
Shen Tingnuo followed him from behind, his eyes always fixed on him, as if trying to remember his every feature.
Soon, the two came to a house. The house was dilapidated, and the outer walls were peeling off. Water was dripping from the eaves. It was because the residents on the second floor did not wring out their wet clothes, which made the surroundings a little damp.
Shen Tingnuo was sure that this was the address in front of her. She walked forward and raised her hand to knock on the iron door of the resident on the first floor.
There was a loud knock on the door, and they waited for a while, but no one came to open it.
Is no one home?
Shen Tingnuo was unwilling to give up, so he knocked on the door again, but still no one opened it.
When she wanted to knock on the door for the third time, Gu Si stopped her and said, "It looks like there is no one in the room. They may be at work at this time. How about I bring you here in the evening?"
"That's all." Even if Shen Tingnuo was unwilling, he had to leave first.
Just as they turned around, they heard a woman's laughter from inside the house.
"Someone is home!" Shen Tingnuo turned around and went back. This time she knocked on the iron gate hard, not as gently as the previous times.
Gu Si also accompanied her, and when necessary, he would knock on the door and ask loudly if anyone was home.
After about five minutes, the people in the room seemed to be annoyed by the noise, and a middle-aged man's cursing was heard.
"Knock knock knock, you're coming here in broad daylight to announce a death?!"
The iron gate was slammed open, revealing a shirtless middle-aged man full of impatience.
Gu Si also took a long step and stood in front of Shen Tingnuo, "Sorry to bother you, my girlfriend wants to talk to you about something."
"Who are you? I don't know you! Who is your girlfriend?" The middle-aged man breathed out through his nostrils, looking like he had a bad temper.
Shen Tingnuo poked his head out from behind Gu Siye and said, "I am his girlfriend."
The middle-aged man raised his eyes and looked over. With just one glance, the impatience on his face turned into astonishment, "Miss?!"
Although he hadn't seen her for many years, he recognized the outstanding-looking Miss Shen at the first sight. Her facial features had not changed, and she had grown almost proportionally.
"Do you know me?" Shen Tingnuo looked at the middle-aged man and had no impression of him in his mind.
"Miss, don't you remember me?" Thinking of something, the middle-aged man showed a sarcastic expression on his face.
"Sorry, I don't have any impression of you. Have you ever worked in my house? As a security guard or a driver?" Shen Tingnuo guessed that the middle-aged man must have been dismissed many years ago, otherwise she would not have no impression of him at all, or the middle-aged man's job was something she had no contact with in her daily life.
"Humph, it's normal that you don't have any impression of me, Miss. After all, you were still young when I was fired." The middle-aged man leaned aside and gestured, "Come in."
Shen Tingnuo glanced at the messy house. She hesitated for a moment. When she was about to enter the house, Gu Si also stepped in before her.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man suddenly blocked her way and waved his hand in disdain, "Get lost, get lost, I asked the young lady to come in, not you, a stinky boy, come in, wait outside!"
"Why don't you wait for me outside." Shen Tingnuo said to the young man with a sidelong glance.
Gu Si also frowned and disagreed, "No, I don't feel comfortable with you staying in a room alone with him."
Under such circumstances, he would not allow Shen Tingnuo to leave his sight and stay with an unknown middle-aged man.
"This..." Shen Tingnuo looked at the middle-aged man, hoping that he could be flexible and allow Gu Si to enter the house as well.
In fact, she was a little scared to go in alone and talk to the strange middle-aged man without Gu Si accompanying her.
The middle-aged man did not give in at all. "Either you come in by yourself, Miss, or both of you get out of here."
Although she calls her "Miss", it's actually full of sarcasm.
From the moment the middle-aged man recognized Shen Tingnuo, he looked at her with a very unfriendly gaze. Shen Tingnuo could even feel the malice coming from the middle-aged man.
When Shen Tingnuo was considering whether to leave, Gu Si suddenly stretched out his long arm, pinched the middle-aged man's neck with his big hand, and easily pressed him against the wall.
The boy's actions were so quick that no one was expecting them. The middle-aged man, who had reacted, uttered a series of ugly insults.
"Damn it, you bastard, you dare to attack me, do you believe I will kill you?"
The middle-aged man's facial features were distorted viciously as he tried to struggle against the shackles around his neck.
Gu Siye increased the strength of his hands, pinching the middle-aged man so hard that his face immediately turned red and his neck became thick.
"Watch your mouth and apologize, or I'll ask him to strangle you to death!" Shen Tingnuo threatened.
Gu Si also said nothing and tightened his grip again.
The middle-aged man saw that the two of them were not joking, so he immediately backed off, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'm mean, I shouldn't have cursed, please forgive me this time, Miss, for the fact that I've driven for the Shen family for more than ten years!"
Was he once the Shen family's driver?
Shen Tingnuo tilted his head and looked at the middle-aged man's face carefully, and found that he still had no impression of him.
Even without the girl's words, Gu Si did not let go.
The middle-aged man had difficulty breathing and his neck was in pain. His eyes gradually turned red and he glared at Shen Tingnuo angrily.
"Your Shen family has ruined the rest of my life. I have also hidden in a place like this, intending to quietly prolong the rest of my life. Even so, Miss still won't let me go?!"
Shen Tingnuo was increasingly confused by the middle-aged man's words, "Gu Siye, let him go."
Hearing the girl's instructions, Gu Si immediately let go.
"Cough cough cough--" Finally able to breathe smoothly, the middle-aged man covered his neck and coughed wildly.
Shen Tingnuo looked at the middle-aged man's embarrassed appearance and asked the question in his heart: "Is your last name Li?"
The middle-aged man was still coughing and did not answer Shen Tingnuo.
Gu Siye’s fists were clenched so tightly that they made a clattering sound, which was an obvious threat.
The middle-aged man suppressed the itch in his throat and nodded, "My last name is indeed Li, Miss, do you remember me?
When you were a kid, you always followed me around and kept calling me Uncle Li. Now that you've grown up, you've learned all of Mr. Shen's ruthlessness and harshness.
You two are indeed father and daughter. The way you look down on others is exactly the same."
There was no trace of reminiscing about the good old days in the middle-aged man's words, but they were full of malice.
Shen Tingnuo felt that Shen Cong must have done something bad to others, which led to her being ridiculed as well.
"What's your name?" Without paying attention to the middle-aged man's sarcasm, Shen Tingnuo asked his name.
"Li Guoqiang."
"Li Guoqiang?" Shen Tingnuo muttered the name to himself, but still couldn't remember anything.
She looked at Li Guoqiang. "More than a decade ago, when you were working as a driver for the Shen family, did you ever kill someone while driving under the influence one night?"
The old newspaper said that he was driving drunk and hit someone, one dead and one injured. The dead woman's surname was Fu. If nothing unexpected happened, the dead woman should have a close relationship with Fu Xiuyan.
"I wasn't driving under the influence! I didn't kill anyone! It wasn't me! It wasn't me!" Li Guoqiang suddenly went crazy and roared back.
Shen Tingnuo was frightened by Li Guoqiang's sudden roar, and she couldn't help but step back.
Gu Si also turned sideways, put one hand on the girl's shoulder, and protected her in a protective manner.
"You scared her," he said unhappily.
Li Guoqiang was breathing heavily, his eyes were wider than Tongling's, and he looked so angry that he wished he could pounce on the man and woman in front of him and tear them apart.
"I didn't kill anyone!"
He stared at Shen Tingnuo and spoke word by word, his whole body emitting a suppressed aura of grief, indignation, injustice, resentment, and injustice.
