Chapter 1: Please, God, let me be reborn once!
"Honey, is the water too hot? Am I pressing too hard?"
Chen Le suddenly woke up with a start, his eyes wide open!
Along with the sound of rushing water, he heard a woman breathing heavily with difficulty!
The woman's voice trembled, every syllable revealing fear and caution...
Chen Le rubbed his eyes in disbelief, still not quite coming to his senses.
What happened? He was in a meeting in the shopping mall just a second ago.
The next second, he found himself back in the old, dilapidated apartment building from twenty years ago!
Old walls, peeling cabinets.
The lights on the ceiling were dim and flickering.
This was his home 20 years ago!
The room was run-down, but very clean, and there were sheets on the bed.
It's a one-bedroom apartment with a small bathroom that can only fit one person.
On the dining table were a small dish of pickled vegetables and two steamed buns!
Everything was so old, but it looked so familiar to Chen Le!
Suddenly, Chen Le picked up the tattered cell phone and saw that the time displayed on the screen was twenty years ago.
He was completely stunned, his pupils wide open, as if he had seen a ghost!
He actually...
Reborn!
Chen Le looked up at the woman who was washing his feet and massaging the soles of his feet!
The woman looked to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with messy hair and a fair, oval face. In the internet age, even without filters, her figure and face would make her an instant sensation and a super internet celebrity!
That's his wife, Su Xi!
However, her face was pale and her body looked extremely weak.
His hair was disheveled and messy, and he had bruises on his face and around his eyes!
Every movement of her foot-massaging made her breath quicken.
Beside the woman stood a timid girl wearing a white tank top full of holes and with two small braids, looking very cute!
Especially her eyes, which were watery, clear, and full of life.
This is his daughter, Chen Xinxin!
this moment.
Chen Le finally realized that he had been reborn!
He excitedly reached out his hand, wanting to touch his daughter's face, which was so close to his!
"Xin Xin, Daddy misses you so much..."
However, just as Chen Le raised his hand...
Su Xi stopped what she was doing, hugged her daughter, and quickly stepped back.
The eyes that looked at Chen Le were filled with fear, hatred, disgust, and loathing!
Chen Xinxin was even more frightened, putting her little hands behind her back.
She stood sideways against the wall, her small body trembling!
All of this is because of the shadow that Chen Le cast on them.
For five whole years, the wife and daughter were shrouded in the torment and pain that Chen Le brought them!
He lost his job because of his promiscuous behavior with other women!
Drinking, gambling, domestic violence, beating his daughter!
Not only did he live off his parents-in-law's pension, but he also gambled away his wife Su Xi's salary, even tricking his parents-in-law into using their pension money!
Because Chen Le gambled everywhere, he accumulated a mountain of debt, and creditors would often come knocking on his door!
The wife and daughter were so frightened that they hugged each other tightly, trying to control their sobs!
What's most infuriating is that Chen Le's personality completely changes after every time he drinks!
They'll start fighting at the slightest provocation!
Every time he came home drunk after drinking, his wife and daughter would hide in the closet in fear, too scared to make a sound.
The worst time was when he knocked his wife, Su Xi, unconscious and then ignored her completely!
Chen Le ignored his daughter's fever that night, which frightened her.
After waking up, Su Xi covered the bleeding wound on her forehead and struggled to carry her daughter to the hospital.
Even the money for hospitalization was borrowed from the neighbors!
"Chen Le, I beg you, hit me, scold me, or torture me with your perverted marital lifestyle, anything is fine with me!"
"I beg you, I beg you... please spare our daughter..."
"She's still so young, you can't treat her like this..."
Su Xi knelt down on the ground with a thud.
My eyes instantly filled with tears.
Chen Le's brain exploded as if struck by lightning!
"No, that's not what I meant."
"I wanted to..."
Chen Le wanted to offer an explanation.
However, he hadn't finished speaking.
"boom……"
Su Xi knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely.
He banged his forehead until it bled, but he showed no sign of stopping!
"Chen Le, I've already seen that agreement, the cornea sales agreement."
"I'll pay off your gambling debts. I'll work three jobs. Please, don't sell our daughter's corneas. If you really won't agree, then sell mine, okay?"
"No matter what, Xin Xin is still your daughter, a member of the Chen family..."
Su Xi, her face streaked with tears, wept with heart-wrenching grief!
At that moment, Chen Le suddenly realized what was happening.
In his previous life, his creditors came knocking on his door, threatening to cut off his hand.
To save his hands, he chose to sell his daughter's corneas to loan sharks.
They secretly took their daughter to an unlicensed hospital!
The price is 10!
I sold my corneas!
The daughter, with her eyes covered by a white sheet, sat on the hospital bed, her face full of confusion!
Meanwhile, he was hiding in the bathroom, counting his money with a big smile on his face!
The blind daughter has no idea that darkness will shroud her life, robbing her of all color!
His wife from his previous life was also greatly affected by this incident and chose to divorce him.
After completely losing his mind, he actually jumped off a 20-story building while holding his daughter!
"I...I'm so sorry for you and your child..."
Chen Le's voice also choked up.
In his previous life, he was completely awakened by the death of his wife and daughter.
He began to work hard and strive for excellence.
Fight with your life and your blood!
It took him a full 18 years to climb up from the very bottom!
After working hard for the company, I can say my life is fulfilling, and my wealth is only...
But his life was incomplete!
It was the deaths of his wife and daughters that made everything he had.
It was also a regret he could never forgive himself for in his life.
He also deeply understood a truth: no amount of money could buy back the lives of his wife and daughter!
"Su Xi, get up quickly!"
"I promise you, I won't do that. Can you get up now?"
Chen Le quickly reached out and helped Su Xi up from the ground!
"I'm sorry, it was all my fault before, I'm a fucking animal!"
"Su Xi, I ruined all your hopes and dreams for marriage and life, but please believe me and give me another chance. I will definitely make it up to you and our child."
As he said this, Chen Le slapped himself across the face!
"No, you don't need to apologize to me..."
"Chen Le, all I want now is for you to give my daughter and me a way to survive!!"
"Let's get a divorce, okay..."
"I don't hate you. I just want to raise our daughter to adulthood and let her grow up healthy..."
Su Xi gradually calmed down and said in a pleading tone!
She had no other thoughts than to leave this devil.
Run far away.
This is a heinous, irredeemable scoundrel.
I absolutely cannot let my daughter stay by his side any longer!
He has lost all conscience; he's even started plotting to take his daughter's organs!
Upon hearing this, Chen Le sighed deeply.
He wanted to win his wife back, but he also knew deeply how grave his sins were.
I no longer deserve your trust!
However, it's not too late!
He was reborn; he could start all over again.
What is lost can be regained.
Mistakes can be made up for.
"I agree to the divorce!"
"Xin Xin can come with you too!"
"However, I have one condition!"
Chen Le endured the excruciating pain.
His voice was choked with emotion, and he said those words through gritted teeth, as if he had used up all his strength!
Upon hearing this, Su Xi's face showed an expression of disbelief.
I could barely contain my elation!
Finally, I can get rid of this devil!
She asked tentatively, but it took a great deal of courage.
Previously, every time the word "divorce" was mentioned, she would be beaten so badly that she couldn't take care of herself!
Unexpectedly, this time, Chen Le not only didn't hit her, but actually agreed!
"Tell me your conditions!"
Su Xi suppressed her inner turmoil and said softly.
In her heart, she made up her mind.
No matter the conditions, even if it means taking on all of Chen Le's debts.
She's willing too!
She'd do anything to get a divorce and escape this hell!
