After rebirth, my wealthy ex-husband pushed me against the wall and kissed me

"You have a daughter?" Shen Tingnuo looked around the house secretly, but found no signs that a child had lived there.

As if noticing Shen Tingnuo's little move, Li Guoqiang curled his lips sarcastically, "In the first year when I was in jail for hitting someone to death, the child's mother took the child abroad. I don't blame her. It's not easy for a woman to make a living with a child. She should not wait for me when there are better options."

"Have you contacted them after you were released from prison?" Shen Tingnuo asked.

Li Guoqiang was stunned for a moment, "No."

"Why?" Shen Tingnuo asked casually.

Li Guoqiang, who was originally watching TV, suddenly turned his head to look at her. His eyes were bloodshot, with red blood vessels all over his eyeballs, making him look like a devil struggling in purgatory.

Shen Tingnuo felt her back tighten when she saw his eyes, and her hands clenched into fists nervously. She regretted letting Gu Si go out as well. She shouldn't have stayed alone.

When Shen Tingnuo thought that Li Guoqiang would go crazy and yell again, the middle-aged man burst into tears without any warning, and became extremely fragile in the blink of an eye.

"She... I heard... she's married, and her child is doing well... and calls someone else dad... I've been in jail, and I have a stain on my body, so I can't ruin their happy life..."

Li Guoqiang lowered his head and wiped his tears vigorously as he spoke.

A middle-aged man who had lived half his life was just sitting on a small sofa crying miserably.

Shen Tingnuo was touched, and she apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your sad story."

If he had not been in jail, his wife and daughter would still be by his side.

Li Guoqiang raised his head, tears soaking his weathered face, "Miss, you are not sorry for me. The one who is sorry for me is your father Shen Cong. He is the one who should say sorry to me! He ruined my originally happy life, and he ruined half of my life!"

The way he addressed her as "Miss" no longer had the sarcasm and malice that he had at the beginning.

Shen Tingnuo's eyes became wet, and he suddenly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

She asked with trembling lips: "What do you mean by that?"

She had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, but still didn't give up.

Li Guoqiang said angrily: "It was my daughter's birthday that night, and I took a special leave to go home and spend time with my child. I was not driving the car, but the police found me in the middle of the night and arrested me for hit-and-run.

Later, one of the women who was hit died on the way to the hospital, and I was arrested.

During the investigation, my wife came to the prison to find me and said that your father had come to see her and gave her a sum of money. As long as she could persuade me to plead guilty to the crime of hit-and-run, your father would give her the money and send her and her mother abroad!"

After hearing the truth with his own ears, Shen Tingnuo stood up angrily, "You agree?"

Li Guoqiang clenched his fists tightly, "I don't have the right to refuse, I don't even have the money to hire a lawyer!

Besides, I can't get out. If your father wants to do something to my wife and daughter, I can't stop him, let alone protect them. I have to agree even if I don't want to!"

Shen Tingnuo never thought that a trip to the South District would lead her to learn so many things that she didn't know in her previous life. Perhaps her father had done a lot of such things, but she was kept in the dark.

"I'm sorry!" She opened her lips and apologized weakly.

Li Guoqiang patted his heart again and again, unwillingly and sadly saying: "Miss, what did I do wrong? Why did your father treat me like this?

Apart from killing mosquitoes and cockroaches, I have never done anything harmful to others in my life. Why does God want to harm me like this?

Miss, my life is ruined. It was your father who ruined me!"

Facing Li Guoqiang's sadness and pain, Shen Tingnuo said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I didn't know he did such a terrible thing to you. If, if no one had given me a hint, I wouldn't have come here to find you today and made you think of the unhappy things in the past. I, I'm really sorry!"

Li Guoqiang originally had a happy family, but everything was ruined by her biological father.

At this moment, there was nothing she could do except say sorry.

Li Guoqiang fell to his knees on the ground, covering his face with his hands, sobbing all the time. He cried like a very aggrieved child.

After living for two lifetimes, this was the first time that Shen Tingnuo saw a middle-aged man crying like this. She could only keep saying sorry.

Perhaps he heard the crying in the room, and Gu Si called out worriedly from outside the door: "Nono, are you okay? Do you need me to come in?"

Shen Tingnuo wiped the tears from her face and swallowed the sobs. She tried to reply in a normal tone, "I'm fine. Don't come in. I'll be out soon."

"Okay, if anything happens, remember to call me." Gu Si was also a little reassured, as he could hear the cry in the girl's voice.

"Okay, I will." Shen Tingnuo wanted to leave this place that made her feel so guilty immediately, but the crying of the middle-aged man in her ears was like shackles, and she could not take a step to leave.

After struggling for a while, she came to Li Guoqiang, took out a handkerchief from her bag and handed it to him.

"Here, wipe it off. The ground is cold, don't kneel there. It's bad for your knees, especially at your age.

I'm sorry about what happened to my father, but there's nothing I can do to help you."

She is not valued in the Shen family and will sooner or later become a pawn in exchange for greater benefits. Even if she wants to sacrifice her own family for the sake of justice and help Li Guoqiang, she can't.

Perhaps because he heard her words, Li Guoqiang put down his hands, wiped his tears and snot with his arms, and did not take the handkerchief that looked very expensive.

"Miss, you are a good person, and the Madam is also a good person. I know that this is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame the culprit who caused all this!"

When he said the last four words, Li Guoqiang almost clenched his teeth to pronounce the syllables.

"Have you seen my mother?" Shen Tingnuo deliberately changed the subject, not wanting Li Guoqiang to be immersed in pain.

Li Guoqiang sat back on the sofa, his eyes were red and swollen, and recalled: "I met her several times. She was very beautiful and a very kind woman. Once she found out that the family of the maid who was responsible for cleaning the backyard had cancer, and she specially arranged for the family of the maid to be hospitalized and reimbursed all the medical expenses. Unfortunately, the person could not be saved."

Listening to the stories of his late mother, Shen Tingnuo felt a little relieved from the heavy guilt in his heart. "I haven't heard anyone mention this, and my mother hasn't mentioned it either."

"Madam... has she been doing well these years?" Li Guoqiang asked with concern. It was one thing for him to hate Shen Cong for destroying his family, but it was another thing for him to like that kind woman.

He couldn't understand how a bad guy like Shen Cong could marry such a kind wife and give birth to an equally kind daughter. This made it impossible for him to hate him completely.

Human nature is multifaceted and complex.

Li Guoqiang felt even more upset when he thought that the bad guy had a kind wife and a kind daughter.

"She has been dead for many years." Shen Tingnuo said sadly.

Li Guoqiang was stunned for a moment, then said with regret: "Good people usually don't live long."

Those who live longer are basically evil people!

Shen Tingnuo lowered his eyes and said nothing more.

Li Guoqiang thought of something, stood up, took out a photo from the cabinet and handed it over.

Shen Tingnuo took it subconsciously. It was an old photo. She looked at Li Guoqiang in confusion, "What is this?"

"After I got out of prison, I checked the two people who were hit that year. They were two women, a mother and daughter. The daughter died, and the mother also died not long after. It was said that she died of excessive grief." Li Guoqiang said, they were all pitiful people.

When poor people like them encounter such things, they have nowhere to seek justice and can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

Shen Tingnuo lowered his head. The two women in the photo looked 70% similar. The younger woman was tall and pretty, smiling very happily. The older woman was also smiling with gentle eyes. It was not difficult to tell what kind of mood they were in when taking the photo.

"Is the deceased daughter's surname Fu?" Shen Tingnuo asked the question in his mind.

"That's right." Li Guoqiang nodded, "She also has a son, also surnamed Fu. I heard he is an illegitimate child, so he takes his mother's surname."

Shen Tingnuo felt a chill on his back and broke out in a cold sweat. "Do you have her son's contact information now?"

"How could I have her son's contact information?" Li Guoqiang shook his head.

"How can I contact her son?" Shen Tingnuo asked anxiously, eager to know whether the woman's son was Fu Xiuyan.

If so, then the specific reason why Fu Xiuyan hated her in the previous life could be found.

In her previous life, she always thought that Fu Xiuyan hated her because she stopped him from being with Yun Yuenni, but now it seems that the real situation is not like that.

Li Guoqiang sighed, "I went to her hometown as soon as I got out of prison, but I couldn't find her son. I heard from people living nearby that the child was left alone and wandered around picking up food from trash cans."

Shen Tingnuo's breath stopped, and the image of a skinny boy wandering around appeared in his mind.

"What about his biological father? Doesn't he care about him either?" she asked.

"I heard that the woman was the mistress of a rich man, and the man didn't want them and their son." Li Guoqiang recalled as he lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly.

"Then why didn't anyone send him to an orphanage? He must have been very young at that time." Smelling the pungent smell of smoke, Shen Tingnuo frowned.

Noticing the girl's little action, Li Guoqiang put out his cigarette and said, "I don't know much about this matter. I only heard that the child was picked up by someone. The person who picked him up seemed to know his mother, so he must be a friend."

"Uncle Li, could you please give me the hometown address of the woman who was hit and killed?" Shen Tingnuo wanted to go there in person to see if everything was really as she guessed.

Li Guoqiang thought about it and said angrily, "It's been too long, and I've been driving long-distance trucks to make money in those years, so I didn't remember the woman's hometown address."

Shen Tingnuo felt sorry for not being able to get the woman's hometown address. He shook the old photo in his hand and asked, "Can I take this with me?"

"Take it if you want it." Li Guoqiang didn't care about the photo. He kept it to remind himself not to forget the grievances and injustices of the past.

When he saw Shen Tingnuo now, he felt as if he saw his grown-up daughter. Some things should be let go.

"Thank you." Shen Tingnuo thanked him, took out all the cash he had on him from his bag and put it on the table, and said embarrassedly, "I, I only have this much money on me. I'll go to the bank to withdraw some for you later..."

Li Guoqiang glanced at the red bills on the table and said, "Miss, I don't want your money."

"I just want to make it up to you!" Shen Tingnuo said hurriedly.

"It's not your fault. You don't need to feel guilty or compensate me. Don't come to this kind of place again. This place is not suitable for you." Li Guoqiang walked forward and stuffed the bills back into her bag.

Shen Tingnuo was in mixed emotions. She opened her mouth and wanted to apologize to him, but thinking that he probably didn't want to hear her apology, she finally swallowed the apology.

"By the way, you should be careful of the woman who came to me a few days ago and was wearing all branded clothes. She gave me some money and wanted me to exaggerate the car accident when she told you about it. I didn't take the money, and every word I said today was not exaggerated." Li Guoqiang said.

"I understand. Anyway, thank you very much for telling me the truth about the car accident." Shen Tingnuo was very grateful and bowed.

Li Guoqiang waved his hand and said, "Go away and don't come here again."

Shen Tingnuo took three steps back, and when she was about to open the door and leave, Li Guoqiang's voice, faint with a hint of sadness, sounded behind her.

"Miss, I am very happy to see you grow up safely."

He always remembered the time when the young eldest daughter was forced to be separated from her mistress and sent to Gu's house. The little girl couldn't stop crying.

Shen Tingnuo felt a lump in his throat. Without looking back, he opened the iron gate and walked out.

As soon as she came out, Gu Si immediately came over to greet her. Noticing that the girl's eyes were red, a look of hostility flashed across his brows.

"Did Li Guoqiang bully you?"

"No." Shen Tingnuo gave a very forced smile.

Gu Si also pressed her eyelids with his fingertips, "Did you cry?"

"Oh, stop guessing. It's just some sand in my eyes." Shen Tingnuo pretended nothing happened.

"Puchi" a sneer came between them.

Shen Tingnuo turned his head and looked at Wang Yin who was sitting in the stairwell.

Gu Si also turned the girl's face and asked her to look at him. "Don't pay attention to her. She's a middle-aged woman who has been heartbroken and can't get love."

Shen Tingnuo: “?”

Wang Yin couldn't stand being commented on like that. He stood up with a bang and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Fearing that he would get into trouble, Shen Tingnuo quickly grabbed Gu Siye's hand and walked out in a hurry, apologizing to Wang Yin: "I'm sorry, he didn't mean it, I'm really sorry!"

After dragging the boy for a while and making sure that Wang Yin had not caught up, Shen Tingnuo slowed down and glared at the boy in reproach.

"She was already unhappy about being kicked out, why are you saying that to her?"

"I'm not wrong. What are you afraid of her doing? With me here, she won't dare to do anything to you." Gu Si said fearlessly.

"It's not a question of being afraid or not. When you go out, it's best not to make enemies if possible." Still holding the photo in his hand, Shen Tingnuo was about to put it in his bag, but he didn't hold it firmly and accidentally dropped it on the ground.
