Leng Aotian's words hit Gu Manman's heart word by word.
Gu Manman raised her eyes and looked at Li Jinze in front of her. For more than ten years, all she had been thinking about was the lost Bao'er and her children.
But she really forgot about Li Jinze, who was always by her side and taking care of her.
Now that all my eyes and attention are on him, I realize that Li Jinze is no longer as handsome as he was when he was young. In middle age, he still maintains a good figure. I wonder if he has the habit of exercising all year round.
.
So even when he is middle-aged, he does not have any fat or muscles on his body. Because exercise will not make you look older, he looks very young, but the white hair in his hair reveals his age.
He is already old.
At this time, Li Jinze no longer had the sharp, serious, and powerful aura he had before. Instead, he became more friendly, close, and gentle.
He really took off all the limelight, leaving only tenderness and care.
Gu Manman's eyes turned red. Over the past ten years, countless scenes of Li Jinze taking care of her, being nervous about her, cooking for her, making desserts, and feeding her appeared one after another in her mind.
Her eyes turned red quickly, and the tears in her eyes kept spinning in circles.
Her trembling lips slowly opened, "Husband..."
Gu Manman could no longer suppress her inner emotions, opened her arms, and hugged Li Jinze tightly in front of her.
Li Jinze hugged her back tightly, and the two hugged each other tightly, as if they had returned to the nostalgic past when everything was fine.
"I'm sorry, husband, for making you worry all these years. It's my fault. I have been suffering from the pain of losing my baby. It's my fault that I didn't notice you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Li Jinze gently covered her mouth: "Don't say sorry to me, you did nothing wrong. I said, no matter what you do, I will accompany you unconditionally and pamper you. I will pamper you until your hair turns gray."
Cang Cang, wait until you can't walk anymore. I know you are worried about your child, but we never give up."
"Life still has to go on, are you right?"
Gu Manman nodded her head lightly, and tears fell from her eyes unexpectedly: "Yeah."
Seeing the two people hugging each other, seemingly reconciled and loving, Leng Aotian couldn't help but have a comfortable smile on his face.
Ye Lan looked at Leng Aotian and couldn't help but smile and shake her head. Leng Shao was still as before, silently caring about Gu Manman, loving Gu Manman deeply, and even took the initiative to help the two of them adjust the atmosphere.
After that, Gu Manman had decided to start a new life again. It could no longer be like before, lifeless and without any vitality.
Leng Aotian sat on the sofa and drank almost a whole pot of tea: "I have good news and bad news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Li Jinze and Gu Manman said in unison: "Bad news."
Leng Aotian coughed dryly and put his fist on his mouth: "The bad news is that after more than ten years, we have searched all countries and traveled to all places, but we have not found my daughter. What follows is
The thing is, we have run out of money..."
"In other words, I, Leng Aotian, am now a pauper and I don't have a penny left."
After saying this, Li Jinze and Gu Manman were both stunned: "Old man Leng, are you kidding me? How can you become a pauper? This is even impossible when you think about it!"
Ye Lan silently held her forehead at the side: "Manman, actually when I think about it, I think it's impossible. But it's true. Over the years, Leng Shao has traveled to many places. He almost sees a place falling behind.
Donate money when you see a poor child."
"Donate money to build schools, welfare homes, nursing homes, and gardens... After more than ten years of charity, I have donated almost all my assets in my life, leaving nothing for myself."
Li Jinze paused, as if he couldn't understand what he was doing: "Old Leng, why did you do this?"
Leng Aotian exhaled and then smiled softly: "When I was young, I did a lot of wrong things and killed a lot of people. I created a lot of evil fate. At the beginning, many people wanted to
Kill me. Later, I actually found out that I had a daughter."
"But my sins are so heavy that I can't find my daughter and can't protect her properly, so I have no choice. I can only try my best to do good deeds and accumulate virtue for myself. I also hope that my daughter will be able to live well outside the home."
Better..."
He lowered his eyes. He had been alone for half his life, and now that he had a child, he wanted to give all the best to the daughter he had never met.
After hearing his words, Gu Manman seemed to be lost in thought, then she raised her hand, and started clapping again and again in an orderly manner. She suddenly clapped, which made Leng Aotian stunned.
"Old man Leng, you have done really well. Your affection for your daughter will definitely be known to your daughter in the future, and she will definitely be moved."
He shook his head: "I don't expect her to be moved. I only expect her to be safe and live a happy life."
She smiled and nodded, and then remembered the so-called good news before: "By the way, what good news are you talking about?"
When Leng Aotian mentioned this, the sadness on his face had been completely eliminated, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The good news is that I don't have a penny now. I can no longer go out and wander around.
It’s reached a point where I can’t afford to stay in a hotel or eat.”
"I've been looking for it for more than ten years, and now it's time to take a rest, so I plan to live in Li's house!"
As soon as his words came out, Gu Manman and Li Jinze were once again frozen in place.
"What did you say?!"
Leng Aotian paused, "Why, you don't welcome me?"
Li Jinze shook his head: "No, it's just, are you really going to give up looking for your daughter? If you are short of money, I can give you as much as you want, you just need to ask."
His words were full of determination, as if Leng Aotian could give it to him even if he asked for 100 million.
Leng Aotian shook his head, "Lao Li, I accept your request, but I'm tired. I've been searching for more than ten years, and I need to rest. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that I am getting old.
"
"We are all middle-aged now. When we get older, our health is indeed not as good as when we were young, and I don't want to run away. From now on, I, an old man, will have to make do with you old ladies and old men."
In fact, what he didn't say was that he had already searched almost all over the world.
There was no trace, so he came to Kyoto.
He vaguely felt that a consciousness from his father told him that his daughter was in this city.
Therefore, he wanted to stay, not only because of the loneliness of finding a girl alone, but also because of this intuition.
