An An, your situation is special, do you have any taboos?"

When I came out of the prison, it was almost dinner time.

Tao Xuexin took Zhao Anyue to a clean tea restaurant and politely handed her the menu.

Originally, Zhao Anyue wanted to go home early, but Tao Xue had the heart to keep her, and it was obvious that she should have something to say to her alone.

Zhao Anyue said that it doesn't matter, just be light.

"That's good. ”

Calling the waiter, Tao Xuexin simply ordered two meats, two vegetables and one soup.

"You see you're so thin, you should still eat more to supplement your nutrition. ”

"Thank you, Aunt San, I can't grow meat no matter how I eat. ”

To be honest, if there is still one person left in the Shen family, Zhao Anyue has some good feelings and desire to communicate and get along. Then it is definitely Tao Xuexin, although they have known each other for a short time, they have only seen three or two sides together. But Zhao Anyue couldn't understand why, she just had an inexplicably cordial affection for Tao Xuexin.

Especially when I heard my brother say that they had known each other more than a year ago.

At that time, Zhao Anyu had not yet come to Qike to work as a security guard, but was doing food delivery work. One day when it was raining and the road was slippery, he was in a hurry to catch the order, but he accidentally fell. And the battery car he was riding accidentally scratched Tao Xuexin's car parked on the side of the road because of this.

At that time, Zhao Anyu was frightened, he didn't say anything, and he knew that Tao Xuexin's car was worth a lot of money at a glance. I'm afraid that I won't be able to afford a month's salary. However, Tao Xuexin not only did not ask him to pay, but also took the initiative to pay to help him repair the car and sent him to the hospital.

After confirming that there were no major injuries, I left.

Zhao Anyu later mentioned this matter to Zhao Anyue, and she didn't take it to heart at that time, but she still sighed in her heart that there are still such enthusiastic people in today's society, which is really rare. It's just that she didn't dare to think that this woman would be Shen Xingye's third aunt.

Later, Tao Xuexin and Zhao Anyu knew each other, and she invited him to dinner twice halfway, and suggested that although food delivery seemed to make more money, it was hard and dangerous, and it took up a lot of time. At his age, the first thing to consider is to have more skills and support.

Zhao Anyu said embarrassedly that he was not a student material, and his sister Zhao Anyue was too hard to support the family alone, and he just wanted to help his sister share some of it.

So Tao Xuexin suggested again, saying that he should find a stable job and have more freedom and free time. Even if you can't study, you should learn some skills and crafts.

Zhao Anyu probably considered Tao Xuexin's suggestion for some things, so it happened that Qi Ke was recruiting security guards here, so he asked Zhao Anyue to help him recommend it internally.

"It's a pity that something like that happened to Xiaoyu. Tao Xuexin said to Zhao Anyue, "Don't worry, it's been so long, and Hoshino's relationship with you is getting better and better." I'll also help you persuade Hoshino to help Xiaoyu get a commutation of his sentence when I find a time. ”

"Third aunt, forget it. My brother was negligent in his duties, and as an adult, he should be responsible. Zhao Anyue looked at the dishes in front of her, to be honest, her appetite was not good, but it was difficult to dine with Tao Xuexin, it was really not good to ruin people's interest.

"It's hard for you, An An. Over the years, he has been closer to Xiaoyu than his younger brother. A girl like you should have someone to love. ”

"Third aunt?" Zhao Anyue was suddenly stunned, as if she didn't understand Tao Xuexin's words-what does it mean to be closer to Xiaoyu than her own brother?

"Xiaoyu, he is my own brother. ”

Zhao Anyue looked at Tao Xuexin, her deep eyes were full of doubts.

In her memory, when she was six years old, her mother sent her and her newborn brother to her aunt's house. He was never heard from again.

For the next two years, the siblings were kicked around by relatives and walked back and forth in the orphanage, but they were never separated.

Zhao Anyue even burned a scar on her younger brother's immature feet with incense, she knew that the children in the orphanage were involuntarily, and she didn't know when a certain one would be adopted by a certain family.

She was afraid that she would be separated from her brother one day, so she left a mark so that she could recognize her relatives in the future.

But fortunately, my brother has never been separated from him. It wasn't until more than half a year ago that the results of his trial came down......

Sometimes Zhao Anyue even blames herself, will it be because she is too doting on Xiaoyu that he can achieve nothing at such an age.

Now that I have made a big mistake, I don't know how difficult it will be to return to society in the future.

"An An, I know you are very kind. takes care of Grandma Liang as his own grandmother, and loves Xiaoyu as his own brother. ”

Tao Xuexin continued to talk to herself, and the atmosphere made Zhao Anyue feel inexplicable and weird.

She finally couldn't help but interrupt Tao Xuexin's words again: "Third aunt, did you misunderstand something? I am really Xiaoyu's sister." ”

Tao Xuexin's eyes finally began to look strange.

She looked Zhao Anyue up and down, and finally, stretched out her hand to gently hold Zhao Anyue's hand: "An'an, I understand, you don't want Xiao Yu to know that his own sister is no longer there." At that time, Xiao Yu was still very young, maybe he didn't even have the slightest memory. But now he's grown up......"

"Third aunt...... What did you hear?"

Zhao Anyue gasped. She never thought that if Zhao Anyu was not even her own brother, then ...... behind this

At this time, the waiter came over to serve the soup, accidentally crooked the strength on his arm, and poured a few drops of hot soup, which happened to pour on Tao Xuexin's cuffs.

In the face of the waiter's sincere attitude of apologizing again and again, Tao Xuexin, like her elegant and gentle temperament, only shook her hand and did not embarrass her.

Instead, he walked to the bathroom with his bag in his handbag.

Zhao Anyue asked her if she wanted to accompany her by herself.

"No, you can rest and don't move. ”

After Tao Xuexin left, Zhao Anyue did not stop the doubts in her heart for a moment.

Tao Xuexin's words didn't look like she was joking? How could she feel that she was taking Zhao Anyu with her, just like taking care of Grandma Liang?

How could she think that Zhao Anyu was not Zhao Anyue's younger brother?

At this time, Tao Xuexin was standing by the washbasin in the bathroom. Looking at himself in the mirror, his face was pale, his breath was short, and his spirit was tense and the green tendons in his temples were jumping.

He grabbed a handful of cold water in both hands and threw it on his face.

She simply didn't know if she could help herself achieve true calm in this way.

Zhao Anyue didn't admit it, she was just taking care of Zhao Anyu as a younger brother?

Her expression is also not like a joke, nor is it like deliberately concealing or deliberately vigilant?!

Could it all be that this is all wrong?

Tao Xuexin only felt a chill rushing up her spine. She waited almost twenty years just for that thing......

If all this is wrong, what the hell should she do?

Thinking of this, she looked up firmly. In any case, it is important to get things out of the way first.

"Third aunt, are you okay?" Zhao Anyue waited until Tao Xuexin came back, only to find that her eyes were red, and the expression on her face was a little forced smile.

"Nothing, it's just a little allergic. ”

"Oh," Zhao Anyue looked at the mess of chopsticks on the table, thinking that Tao Xuexin should not have much appetite to continue eating.

It's been a while since I came out, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid that Shen Xingye will kill me again.

But it's strange today, it's dark, and Shen Xingye didn't even make a phone call to himself.

"But Aunt San, I still want to ask you a question. ”

remembered what Zhao Anyu said later when he was visiting in prison just now, which made Zhao Anyue feel strange in his heart.

"Huh? You say ......."

On the day of the accident, Xiao Yu fell asleep during duty because he drank alcohol. Failure to discover the danger of the warehouse in time was a big mistake. ”

Zhao Anyue looked at Tao Xuexin's eyes and said softly, "Third aunt, but I know Xiaoyu." He doesn't drink heavily, and he doesn't drink much. It is only possible to drink a little when eating with acquaintances. After the accident, the police came to make a record, and Xiaoyu's testimony was inconsistent, and in the end, he didn't make it clear who he was going out to dinner with. I even thought that he had a girlfriend behind my back. ”

Zhao Anyue didn't say any more, she looked at Tao Xuexin's eyes, and seemed to have the intention to stop the second half of the words in her mouth, which was self-evident.

"Yes, An'an, when I had dinner with Xiaoyu before, I usually told him not to drink too much. ”

Tao Xuexin didn't answer the question, but Zhao Anyue had already heard it very clearly.

Tao Xuexin did not admit that on the day of the accident, the person who had eaten with Zhao Anyu outside was herself.

"Third aunt, actually what I mean-"

"That, I'm sorry An'an, I still have something to do at night. Why don't you do it today?"

Tao Xuexin looked at the watch on her wrist, stood up and called someone to pay.

"Oh yes, An An, I want to tell you, next prenatal checkup, you ask me to accompany you. ”

"Oh, not really...... No, I can do it myself. ”

"Hehe, don't be polite to me. Hoshino is usually so busy, and he can't see with his eyes, so it's still very difficult to take care of you. Everyone is a family, I told his third uncle. He agrees, too. Tao Xuexin's insistence made Zhao Anyue feel that if she resigned, would it seem a bit hypocritical.

So she nodded and said, next time it's this Friday, are you free?

"Well, of course. I'll pick you up then. ”

Sitting in the taxi home, Zhao Anyue's heart was unspeakable.

Zhao Anyu and Tao Xuexin have known each other for a long time, which really makes her unable to sort out the rhythm from it.

Because no matter from which motive it is, Tao Xuexin's behavior of approaching Zhao Anyu is definitely intentional.

And behind the intention, people's distorted judgment is often amplified.

A wealthy lady who has no worries about food and clothing, and an ignorant and simple takeaway boy.

Zhao Anyue felt that she couldn't think about it anymore, and if she continued to think like this, she was afraid that her three views would be ruined.

Unless...... My own thinking was wrong from the beginning.

But in any case, Zhao Anyue felt that today's visit to the prison seemed to make her very thoughtful and terrifying suspicions about something - that is, the fire more than half a year ago, Bai Luoya was buried in it.

Is it an accidental natural disaster, or a conspiracy or a man-made disaster?

Uncle Huang's death, what he said to Zhao Anyu before leaving, what else did he have to hide......
