In order not to alert the enemy, Tao Guoguo picked up the phone under the advice of Shen Sangning.

"Hey...husband."

"Where are you?" A man's slightly unhappy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I...I'm shopping with my bestie."

"It's already so late and you're still shopping. Don't you know to come back and cook? Are you going to let me eat air? Do you know that I'm exhausted after a day's work?"

Tao Guoguo took a deep breath and said, "I'm not a full-time nanny. I also have work every day. I get tired sometimes, okay? It's rare that I get off work early today. Why are you so resentful when I'm just going shopping?"

"I can't go back, just order takeout for yourself!"

After hanging up the phone, Tao Guoguo's heartbeat couldn't calm down for a long time, but she managed to get through it.

An hour later, she arrived in the next province.

I walked out of the high-speed rail station and took a taxi to where my husband was.

She looked around and found that the community was really old and looked very period-oriented.

Moreover, the surrounding environment is very poor, with debris and garbage piled up everywhere on the streets.

She was so glamorous standing here, but she seemed a little out of place.

People coming and going looked at her curiously.

Tao Guoguo adjusted her mood and came to the door of the unit according to the address.

The sun had just set, but the corridor was already pitch black.

No matter how she stamped her feet or coughed, the voice-activated lights in the corridor did not respond.

Tao Guoguo had to turn on the light on her cell phone. The unpleasant smell in the corridor made her frown.

"Master...is my husband really here?"

She couldn't believe it. Her husband was a very clean man, so how could he live here?

"It's on the fourth floor, let's go up." Shen Sangning didn't say much and curled up on the sofa and changed into a comfortable position.

Arriving at the fourth floor, Tao Guoguo stood at the door of 401.

She hesitated for a long time before raising her hand and knocking on the door.

"Who is it?" After a moment, a voice came from inside the door, and then the door was opened.

When the man saw the person outside the door, he froze in his tracks. But soon he seemed to remember something and acted as if he didn't know the person at all.

"Who are you?"

Tao Guoguo's eyes turned red, she bit her lower lip tightly with her pearly teeth, and said nothing.

As their eyes met, the man's eyes began to panic, and the hand hidden behind his back was also trembling slightly.

Tao Guoguo raised her eyes, which were filled with tears: "Now that I'm here, why don't you let me in?"

The man paused, then stepped aside to make way.

After Tao Guoguo entered, the man closed the door.

Tao Guoguo looked around the room. Although it was simple, it was very clean.

Then she turned to look at the man and opened her red lips: "Tao Jibin, tell me why?"

“How did you know?” The man stood there dejectedly, like a deflated ball.

"Heh..." Tao Guoguo thought she would go crazy and make a fuss, but now she was surprisingly calm and even felt a little ridiculous.

"How should I know? Can't I feel if it's my husband?"

"Tao Jibin, what's wrong with me? Or do you just not take me seriously?"

"Your own wife is being given away, what do you think?"

"Don't worry, I'm not here to quarrel with you today. I just want you to explain things clearly!"

"Am I sorry for you? Or am I sorry for my parents? Why do you treat me like this!"

Tao Jibin's lips curled up with a bitter smile: "Guoguo, I am sorry for you..."

"You've been very good to me, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law really treat me like their own son."

"It's all my fault, but I have no choice. Because he is my brother, the only family I have."

With a "slap", Tao Guoguo couldn't help raising her hand and slapped him, roaring, "He is your relative? Then am I not? Don't my parents regard you as a relative? How can you bear to treat me like this!!!"

"Tell me, why! Why!!!"

Tao Jibin lowered his head, his eyes sad as he said, "If it weren't for my brother, I would have died a long time ago."

"I will never be able to repay him for the rest of my life."

Tao Guoguo clenched his fists and trembled all over: "Then what am I?"

"Is it something you can give away as alms or hurt as you please?!!"

Tao Jibin looked up at her, then quickly looked away.

"My parents died early, and my brother raised me. He would steal and rob for my sake."

"At that time, all my classmates laughed at me and bullied me. He was the one who stood up for me..."

"I once swore in my heart that I would make sure my brother lived a good life in this life."

"So I studied very hard, because I knew that only study can change our destiny."

"But fate always likes to play tricks on me. When I was a senior in high school, something happened to my brother. He was sentenced to seven years in prison for robbery."

"Then I went to college and worked part-time to support myself. No one knew about my past, and I never told anyone, including you."

"I never planned on having a relationship, and someone like me is not qualified."

"My roommates play games online every day, and I go to the restaurant to wash dishes every day."

"My idea is very simple, I want to stand out! When my brother gets out, I will buy him a car and a house!"

"Then I met you. You are gentle, beautiful, and have a kind heart."

"Many people looked at me with either pity or ridicule, but you didn't. After a few encounters, I fell hopelessly in love with you."

"But I also know the gap between us. I am not worthy of it."

"Until that day you took the initiative to confess to me and said a lot of encouraging words to me."

"But after entering society, I learned a hard lesson. Ideals are full of hope, but reality is a blow to me."

"People like me may never be able to live the life we ​​want in our entire lives."

"I want to give you a home, and work hard with my own hands."

"But a similar house costs more than 200 million! I can't afford it even if I work hard for ten years! Not to mention I have to take care of my brother..."

"I've thought about breaking up with you, but I also know that I'll never meet a girl who treats me as well as you do."

"When you told me you wanted to get married, my brother happened to be released from prison."

"He's been in prison for seven years, and he seems to have changed a lot. His hostility has also become more and more serious."

"I advised him to find a job, but he couldn't do anything except manual labor."

"Then he worked one day at the construction site and got into a fight with someone."

"Then I tried several jobs and was fired every time."

"If he wants to go back to his old ways, I will naturally not allow it."

“We had a big fight over this.”

"He's right. Prisoners are looked down upon wherever they go. No one would be willing to use them..."

"And he's so pessimistic, so pessimistic that it scares me."

"He said that for people like him, they can only live one day at a time. That's how life will be anyway! They can't afford to buy a house, a car, or get married."

Tao Guoguo was filled with grief and indignation: "So you gave me to him?"
