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

Ma San was hit by a punch without any warning and staggered backward. It was only because of the support of his younger brother behind him that he did not fall to the ground.

Ma San wiped his bleeding nose, his eyes bigger than bells, "Gu Siye, you dare to hit me, do you want to die?!"

He wanted to fight back, but a younger brother quickly stopped him and whispered in his ear with great fear: "Third Master, forget it, the guy named Gu is just a scoundrel, it's not worth offending him for a woman!"

They say others are scoundrels, but in fact they are also well-known scoundrels in the West District.

Ma San thought calmly for a moment and felt that it was just as his younger brother said. It was really not worth fighting with Gu Si for such a woman.

But he was unwilling to let it go like this, so he glanced fiercely at Shen Tingnuo who was hiding behind Gu Siye.

"Bitch, we have a long way to go, you better pray that Gu can protect you forever!"

After leaving these harsh words, Ma San reluctantly left with his little brother.

Hearing Ma San's threat, Shen Tingnuo's legs went weak and she felt like God was going to kill her.

Just a few days after arriving in the West District, he offended someone who seemed to be a local boss.

In the past, she would have thought it was a waste of time to even look at such a small person, but now she even had trouble getting enough food to eat, and she had offended such a person. I'm afraid her life will be difficult in the future.

Gu Si also kindly reminded: "If you don't want to suffer, you'd better move out of the West District."

After saying this, he left. Helping her once was already the limit for him, and he didn't want to get into a bad relationship with someone like Ma San who would never let go of a grudge.

Shen Tingnuo stood there at a loss, watching Gu Si walk further and further away.

Biting her lower lip, she decided to quickly catch up with him.

There was a little tail following him, and Gu Si noticed it immediately, so he stopped.

While nonchalantly lighting a cigarette and holding it between his lips, he looked back and said unkindly: "Why are you following me?"

Shen Tingnuo shrank his neck timidly. "Can you help me make peace with that guy called Ma San? I can pay for his medical expenses, but I just ask him not to come to me again..."

She doesn't have much money now, but she will work to pay it back slowly. She hopes Ma San won't bother her again.

Gu Si also sneered, as if she had said something very ridiculous.

Shen Tingnuo was confused by his laughter. Although she didn't understand which words made him laugh, she could feel that he was laughing at her.

"What are you laughing at?" She didn't understand and asked aggrievedly.

Gu Si also took a deep breath of the cigarette between his fingers and skillfully blew out small circles one after another into the air.

Shen Tingnuo blinked and looked at the man who seemed to be performing magic with some surprise. She couldn't help but wonder, if he met a crying child on the street, would he also blow smoke rings to comfort the child like he was doing now?

"Ma San is not short of money. The women he targets will never be able to leave safely unless they are skinned alive. I still say that, move away from the West District. Only if you stay away from this place, Ma San will let you go."

After he finished speaking, without even looking at her again, he turned and left.

Shen Tingnuo's face turned pale, not sure if he was frightened by Gu Siye's words or by the cold wind.

She had just rented a house and had little money left. Where could she go if she left the West District?

Furthermore, what if she walked out of the West District and was caught by Lu Jiu and his gang?

She didn't want to accompany those men who looked as strong as bears, and Fu Xiuyan was unwilling to help her!

If she left the West District at this time, she would be dead.

Suppressing the sadness that was welling up in his heart, Shen Tingnuo raised his foot and followed the man closely.

Gu Si also heard the footsteps following closely. He turned around, frowning unhappily, "Don't follow me!"

Shen Tingnuo lowered his head, looking like a quail, and didn't dare to look the man in the eye at all.

She knew very well that following others like this was a very bad behavior and it felt like moral blackmail, but she had no other choice.

No one can help her except men.

Seeing that he couldn't drive her away, Gu Si quickened his pace and even started to jog.

Shen Tingnuo hurried to catch up, and while chasing after him, he choked and said intermittently: "I, I was forced to divorce, he, he kicked me out of the house and refused to give me a penny..."

"...My younger brother who grew up with me, he, he bought me to pay off his gambling debts... I, I came to the West District to avoid those creditors..."

She didn't know why she said all this to a stranger she had just met. Maybe she felt too wronged, or maybe she wanted to tell the man that she was pitiful and hoped that he would be kind enough to help her out because of her miserable situation.

Gu Si also suddenly stopped, turned around, and said unhappily: "It's none of my business. There are many people in this world who are more miserable than you. Who hurt you like this? Why are you looking for them? Why are you looking for me?"

The man's dark eyes were filled with anger. He glared at Shen Tingnuo sharply and said word by word, "Remember this, I, Gu Si, don't owe you anything. Stop blackmailing me morally here!"

His voice was quite loud, and soon passers-by stopped and pointed at the two of them.

This was the first time in Shen Tingnuo's life that someone said this to her in public. She felt embarrassed and awkward. She held the packing bag tightly in her hands, and tears kept falling like they were free. The words of apology were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

"Don't follow me anymore!" Ignoring her tears, Gu Si turned around and left quickly, fearing that he would be entangled.

This time, Shen Tingnuo did not follow him. She also had to save face, and the other person obviously did not want to help her. If she continued to pester him, she would be the one who would be embarrassed.

After wiping the moisture off her face, she turned and walked into a nearby convenience store. She spent the remaining three dollars and fifty cents on a bottle of beer, and walked along the street corner, drinking it while wiping her tears.

To be honest, this $3.50 beer didn't taste very good. It was much inferior to the red wine she had drunk before, but she only had this $3.50 left.

Just make do with it, she can't survive anyway.

Really tired.

Unconsciously, they arrived at the river. Looking at the dark water, Shen Tingnuo collapsed even more.

The river was so dirty that she could even see sanitary pads hanging on the bank.

Putting down the half-drunk beer, Shen Tingnuo took off the cashmere towel from around his neck, folded it and put it aside.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people around, she walked towards the river bank.

The river water is dirty, we will die anyway.

Standing on the shore, Shen Tingnuo wiped the tears from his face and exhaled heavily.

I closed my eyes, no longer attached to this world, and leaned towards the river. I could still faintly smell the stench of the river water at the tip of my nose.

However, before she touched a drop of the cold river water, her waist suddenly tightened and she was pulled back, surrounded by the faint scent of tobacco.

"Are you sick? You want to commit suicide by jumping into the river just because I said a few words to you!"

Gu Siye's angry roar rang in her ears. If he hadn't turned back, would she really have jumped into the river?

Shen Tingnuo opened his swollen eyes, looking desperate: "If you don't want to care about me, don't save me. I finally mustered up the courage. If you do this, I won't dare to jump a second time... This river is really dirty... Woo woo..."

She couldn't live, and she couldn't die either. She was really tired!

"Look at you, you are so useless and you are still imitating others to jump into the river." Gu Si was also annoyed.

Shen Tingnuo sat on the grass with weak legs, looked at the dark river surface, opened his mouth and continued to cry.

Cry about your own misfortune.

Crying about your own uselessness.

I cried and all my sincere efforts turned into a joke.

Whether it was Fu Xiuyan or Shen Zhili, none of them treated her sincerely.

She clearly wanted to open her heart to them, but in the end she couldn't get even a bit of their sincerity in return.

Gu Si didn't say anything. He sat beside her and took the cashmere scarf and wrapped it around his neck. It was quite cold by the river at night, especially in winter.

Knowing that the person next to him would not be able to stop for a while, he ignored the gazes of passers-by, took the food and leftover beer that Shen Tingnuo had just packed, and started to eat with relish while crying.

"Chew, chew, chew..."

"Chew, chew, chew..."

"Chew, chew, chew..."

Shen Tingnuo, who was crying with snot and tears all over her face, was unable to cry anymore because of the chewing sound made by the man next to her.

"Would you please stop eating?"

She held her forehead with her hand very sadly. She had cried so miserably, but he didn't say a word of comfort. He was still eating the cold food in big mouthfuls, and he ate it with great relish, as if her crying had helped him to gain appetite.

"I'm hungry. You continue crying. I won't disturb you." Gu Si also raised his head and drank the remaining beer and continued to eat the leftovers.

Shen Tingnuo sobbed, "But I can't cry anymore."

"If you can't cry anymore, then eat something together." Gu Si also picked up a piece of cold roast chicken and stuffed it into her mouth.

Shen Tingnuo had no appetite at all, but he didn't want to waste the roast chicken that was already in his mouth, so he could only gnaw on it silently.

After eating and drinking, Gu Si also scratched his black hair that was blown into a mess, and said, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Shen Tingnuo sat there without moving. Her hands and feet were cold from the river breeze and she felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't want to move at all.

"I'll take you home. Didn't you say you were lost? You live at No. 26 Yongmin Lane, right?" Gu Si also rubbed his blocked nose.

"It's No. 36." Shen Tingnuo corrected.

"Yes, No. 36 Yongmin Lane. Let's go. I'll take you there." Gu Si also rubbed his hands and looked like he was frozen.

Shen Tingnuo changed the refusal that was about to come out of her mouth into a "OK". She didn't really want to go back. She wanted to jump into the river again, but when she saw Gu Si was also frozen like a dog, she couldn't refuse anymore.

Under the guidance of the man, Shen Tingnuo quickly returned to the familiar streets.

"Why did your ex-husband divorce you?"

Before leaving, Gu Si suddenly asked a question.

Shen Tingnuo scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, "Can I not answer?"

"Did he cheat on his wife?" Gu Si asked to himself.

Shen Tingnuo thought he was a bit rude, but still said, "No."

"That means you cheated on your wife, that's why you were kicked out of the house." Gu Si also guessed.

Shen Tingnuo said angrily: "I didn't cheat!"

"Then why did you get divorced?" Gu Si kept asking, as if he was determined to get the truth.

Shen Tingnuo wanted to slap him twice, but then she remembered that he had invited her to dinner and saved her twice, so she puffed her cheeks to suppress her unhappiness.

"He doesn't love me. He has a favorite lover in his heart. He blamed me for his lover's death. That's why he divorced me and kicked me out..."

Even though it had only been a few days since she divorced Fu Xiuyan, she felt like it happened in her previous life.

To be honest, she knew that Fu Xiuyan had feelings for Yun Yuenni before they got married, but she still insisted on marrying Fu Xiuyan.

She is half responsible for the situation she is in today.

"It's not worth committing suicide for such a rubbish man. Your brother is not a good guy either. Stay away from him as much as possible."

Gu Si also let out a breath, took out a handful of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Shen Tingnuo's hand, then took off the cashmere scarf from around his neck and wrapped it around her neck twice.

He glanced at her still red and swollen eyes with a deep gaze and continued, "If Ma San comes to bother you again in the future, you can come to me. I'm usually in the underground boxing ring called "Yao". Also, you can come to me if you have no food to eat."

Holding the hundred-yuan, twenty-yuan and fifty-cent bills, Shen Tingnuo's eyes became moist again and his throat choked.

"...I...thank...thank you..."

She really didn't know how to thank him.

Gu Si also glanced at her with disdain as she was about to cry again, turned around and left, waving his hand without looking back, "Go back, don't cry anymore."

Looking at the man's back as he walked away, Shen Tingnuo took two steps forward with red eyes, holding back tears and said loudly: "Thank you, Gu Siye. I, my name is Shen Tingnuo, and I'm glad to meet you!"

Not knowing whether the man heard it or not, Shen Tingnuo watched him leave until she could no longer see his figure, then she slowly withdrew her gaze.

With the 761.5 yuan given by Gu Siye, Shen Tingnuo persevered for a while and finally found a catering job near her rented house. Although the salary was very low, she was already very satisfied as she had no academic qualifications.

During this period, even though she ate boiled potatoes every day, she never went to see Gu Siye once.

He has helped her many times, so she shouldn't bother him again.

The days passed one by one, and on the third day after Shen Tingnuo received her first salary, she met Gu Siye again.

It was an afternoon, she was washing dishes in the kitchen, Uncle Yu came in and called her, saying that a guest had arrived, she hurriedly wiped the water stains on her hands and walked out.

Uncle Yu is the owner of a snack bar. He has a sick daughter and is a miserable man.

Originally he didn't want to hire a waitress, but after seeing Shen Tingnuo going back and forth for several days without finding a job, he hired her.

After coming out of the kitchen, Shen Tingnuo was stunned when he saw the familiar figure sitting outside.

It is Gu Si.

As if he noticed her gaze, the man who was looking down at the menu raised his head, and when he saw Shen Tingnuo, he raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

"Hello, what would you like to eat?" Shen Tingnuo curved his eyes, showed a charming smile, and walked forward to ask.

Gu Si was also stunned, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Even though the lovely person in front of me is covered in dust from head to toe, it cannot conceal her aura and splendor.

When she smiled, the whole gloomy snack bar suddenly lit up, like new sprouts in winter, full of vitality.

"The old three."

Gu Si also tilted his head and looked at her secretly. He felt that she was thinner than when they first met, but she looked in good spirits, and her brows were no longer dull and lifeless.
