The door was not locked, it was just ajar. Du Xiyan stretched out her hand and knocked lightly on the wooden door a few times, asking: "Is anyone there?" When no one responded, she said again: "Is anyone inside?

?" The response was still silence. However, Xiao Ling knew that someone must be inside, so he reached out and pushed open the ajar door.

With a "squeak" sound, the old door was pushed open. Before the two of them could step in, a stale smell hit their faces, and there was also a smell of alcohol in the air. Du Xiyan choked.

, coughed a few times, and the pregnancy reaction almost broke out on the spot. Xiao Ling held her delicate hand and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Du Xiyan shook her head and smiled a little reluctantly.

"Why don't you wait for me outside? The smell here really doesn't smell good." Xiao Ling patted her shoulder considerately and pointed to the shade of the trees outside the door to signal her to wait for him there.

"No, I'm fine." Du Xiyan insisted on going with him and insisted with a smile.

"But you will feel uncomfortable. You are different now. I'm afraid this smell will affect you and the baby." Xiao Ling looked at her flat belly with deep care in his eyes.

"I know, you're so impatient. It's only been a month. You're not that delicate. I'll take care of myself." Du Xiyan smiled and shook her head angrily, but she didn't feel moved or warmed in her heart.

"If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me." Xiao Ling warned, holding her hand and walking into this simple bungalow. This bungalow was dilapidated and simple, with two simple rooms and one living room. In the middle of the hall, there were two

The bedrooms and a kitchen are separated to the left and right. The living room is not big either.

It was full of debris and had obviously not been cleaned for a long time. Moreover, there were several beer bottles scattered in the hall, and the corners were filled with beer bottles. There were at least hundreds of them in total. It can be seen that Shen Kuo

The level of alcoholism I have developed over the years is truly astonishing.

Du Xiyan's dark eyebrows furrowed slightly. What kind of blow could it cause a young man with moral integrity, ideals and ambitions to wander like this? How deep was the pain that he could not recover from after so many years?

Do you know you are middle-aged when you give up on yourself?

There was no one in the hall. Xiao Ling heard a heavy breathing in the room on the left, took Du Xiyan's hand and walked in.

Sure enough, there was a middle-aged man lying on the floor in an inelegant posture, holding a beer bottle in his hand. The remaining liquid in it poured out and soaked the ground. This middle-aged man was naturally Shen Kuo.

undoubtedly.

Shen Kuo seemed to be so drunk that he was unconscious and had no idea that anyone had come in. Not only Du Xiyan frowned, but Xiao Ling also frowned into the character "Chuan". She looked at the man on the ground and then raised her head.

He looked at the table where he fell. There was an old photo on it.

The photo is a black and white photo, very simple and elegant. In the whole room, only the table and the photo are clean and spotless. The photo shows a woman in her twenties, youthful and energetic, quite similar to Shen Xixi.

.It must be Shen Xixi’s biological mother, Luo Xiang, who died young.

Sure enough, there is love and infatuation in the world. Although Shen Kuo was willing to fall, his love for Luo Xiang had reached the point of madness. Even after twenty years, it was still unforgettable. So her photos were wiped spotless.

Du Xiyan looked at Xiao Ling with a wry smile: "It seems that he is very drunk."

"I really can't imagine how he got here all these years." Xiao Ling looked at the man in front of her with mixed emotions. Originally, Xiao Ling was dissatisfied and resentful towards him because of his wrong treatment of Shen Xixi. But now seeing him like this, Xiao Ling felt sympathy and pity again.

Du Xiyan sighed and said: "Ask what love is in this world, and it will tell you whether life and death are together. If Sister Haiwen hadn't woken up safely, you don't know whether you would have given up on yourself like him and lived in a dream."

Xiao Ling smiled and shook his head without comment. He knelt down and looked at Shen Kuo's side profile. This man had a filthy face and stubble, which was very different from his name. Xiao Ling didn't know how to call him, so he simply stopped calling him. He gently shook his shoulders and said, "Hey, wake up."

Shen Kuo murmured, turned over and was lying on the ground. He didn't open his eyes and still didn't wake up. Xiao Ling shook him and called him several times. Shen Kuo narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a daze: "Two Gouzi, the five hundred yuan I owe you will be exchanged for you another day. In two days, my stinky girl will send the money back. You can be accommodating for a few days. Also, tell Brother Yong that I will not go today. I’m at the casino and I have a severe headache. I’ll ask someone else to take over for me for the day.”

After Xiao Ling heard what he said, he wanted to slap him. This guy, Shen Xixi spent all the hard-earned money earned through hard work on gambling, and squandered it so comfortably. He really didn't deserve to be slapped.

"Wake up and see clearly, I'm not a bitch." Xiao Lingjia Dali shook his shoulder a little harder, trying to make him wake up.

"Huh?" Shen Kuo murmured in confusion. He opened his eyelids with difficulty to see clearly who was shaking him. However, his head was groggy and the faces reflected in his eyes were blurry. There were several A shadow. Moreover, he had no ability to think now, so he continued to say confusedly: "Brother Gui, it's you. You owe you the six... six hundred yuan. I will pay you back in a few days. My daughter will be paid in a few days." I just sent the money back, and you can be more accommodating... for a few days."

Xiao Ling was a little angry, and the urge to beat people was even more difficult to control. How many people did this guy owe? There was really no cure. Without heavy medicine, he really couldn't achieve the effect of enlightenment. It will probably be like this for the rest of my life.

He opened his hand and a bottle of mineral water appeared in it. Under Du Xiyan's surprised eyes, he unscrewed the cap and poured the whole bottle of cold water onto Shen Kuo's face.

"Ah you..." Du Xiyan was shocked by his move. This guy was so straightforward that he didn't hesitate at all. This was Xixi's father. It seemed that he was really angry.

"Ahem..." Shen Kuo coughed a few times as the mineral water entered his mouth. Stimulated by the coolness of the bottle of water, his whole body trembled and he became much more awake. He looked at Xiao Ling's unfamiliar face, half-conscious. After waking up and thinking for a while, he asked with confusion on his face: "Who are you? What do you want to do in my house?"

"You know this is your home? So you're awake, right?" Xiao Ling sneered at him.

"Who are you, and what do you want to do when you come to my house?" Shen Kuo frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Ling's answer was to directly lift him up by his collar and drag him out. Shen Kuo was resisting and yelling and asking who Xiao Ling was and what he wanted to do. Du Xiyan was also shouting, she We need to stop this guy from doing something excessive. No matter what, this man is Shen Xixi's father: "Ah Ling, don't be impulsive. He is Xixi's father. Have you forgotten what Sister Ran said?"

Xiao Ling turned a deaf ear and said to Shen Kuo, who was holding his hand and trying to push it away: "Follow me to meet someone. When you see her, you will know who I am." Ignoring Shen Kuo's shouts and resistance, he

Shen Kuo dragged him next to his BMW x6,

He let go and let him lie on the car, then opened the rear door, dragged Shen Kuo and pushed him to the car door, and said politely: "Look, let me see clearly, see who this is, you

Do you remember who she is? Do you still recognize her?"

Shen Kuo was confused by this man who suddenly appeared and was pushed to the car door so rudely and unceremoniously. His neck was still aching, his temper was rising in his throat, and his eyes were red with anger.

Xiao Ling shouted loudly: "Who the hell are you? I've never met you, what on earth do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything, I just want you to meet someone." Xiao Ling turned his head and asked him to look into the car. Du Xiyan came over to pull him and reminded him in a low voice: "A Ling, be careful and don't

That's too much, he is Xixi's father, give him some face."

Xiao Ling snorted and said, "Don't worry, I'm measured and I won't mess around."

Du Xiyan curled her lips in disapproval, "Do you think this is measured?" Lifting up the future father-in-law as if he were an enemy and dragging him from the house to here, is this called "measured"?

"You should wait for me under the shade of the tree over there, so as not to accidentally hurt you." Xiao Ling grinned at her, but the sinister look in his eyes was still strong.

Accidental injury? Is he really planning to fight? Du Xiyan couldn't help but worry: "Ah Ling, don't be impulsive, be careful...be careful when kneeling on the remote control."

Xiao Ling laughed and waved to her to hurry up. He knew that it was already embarrassing to kneel down once, and he didn't want to kneel down a second time. Du Xiyan looked at him uneasily and walked toward the shade of the tree.

Bian retreated, his eyes full of worry.

Shen Kuo was originally depressed and angry, but Xiao Ling pushed his head to the door of the car. When he saw the face of the man lying in the car clearly, he was stunned and forgot to be angry and angry.

Go and argue with Xiao Ling.

This face was almost exactly the same as the face that appeared in his dreams every midnight. How could he not recognize or remember it?

However, this face was the same as the face in the hospital twenty years ago, pale and bloodless. His heart suddenly throbbed, and his whole body trembled. He looked at the girl in the car dully, speechless.

Move: "She..."

"Do you recognize who she is? She is your daughter who you have never looked at directly, and you have never regarded her as your daughter. Her name is Shen Xixi." Xiao Ling grabbed his collar excitedly and said harshly.

"She...what's wrong with her?" Shen Kuo's voice trembled so much that he could hardly pronounce it correctly.

"She died because of your indifference and indifference. She couldn't bear the pressure of life. As you wished, she couldn't think about it and committed suicide. Are you satisfied?" Xiao Ling turned him over and said,

Then he pressed his whole body against the car, with an angry look on his face.

"Dead? Dead..." Shen Kuo seemed possessed, muttering in despair, his eyes becoming hollow.

"She is dead, you forced her to death, are you satisfied?" Xiao Ling stared into his empty eyes with sharp eyes, furious.

"Dead...dead..." Shen Kuo repeated these two words absentmindedly, unable to listen to Xiao Ling's words at all, and his whole body was like a piece of wood.

"Let me ask you, is this what you want?" Xiao Ling grabbed his collared hand and squeezed it tightly, as if he was about to strangle Shen Kuo to death.
