"After graduating from university, I went back to my hometown to see my adoptive parents, hoping that they would tell me clues about my biological parents, and they were even more reluctant to tell me when they saw that I had the ability to make money on my own." Bao Shuai said.

"You don't seem to have been home when you were in Sichuan-Chongqing logistics." Li Xiaotong asked suspiciously.

"Because of some things, I got into a fight with them, and I sent them some money back every month and didn't contact them again." Bao Shuai replied.

"Then this time it's -------?"

"My adoptive father died, and my adoptive mother came to me and wanted to come here to relax." Bao Shuai said.

"Oh!"

After Li Xiaotong answered, she fell silent, about Bao Shuai's ex-wife and son, she wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to ask, after all, this was overheard by herself, and if she asked rashly, she confirmed her obscenity.

"What else are you hiding from me that you haven't told me?" Li Xiaotong asked thoughtfully.

"No------ nothing?" Bao Shuai's eyes dodged, and he replied very unconfidently.

"Really? Your adoptive mother is going to live with us for a while, and there are some things that she will say if you don't say it, do you want me to hear about you from her, or will you say it yourself?" Li Xiaotong asked very seriously.

"That---- that---- that I was married to and have an 8-year-old son at home." Bao Shuai said hesitantly.

Although Li Xiaotong had already been a little mentally prepared in her heart, when the news was confirmed from Bao Shuai's mouth, her heart shook violently, she regretted it, she felt that life would be better if she could go back to a day ago, but unfortunately she couldn't go back.

Li Xiaotong sat there in a daze, not spilling as Bao Shuai expected.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, mainly because you never asked me about it." Bao Shuai explained.

"You go home first, I'll find a hotel nearby tonight, I'll take care of this." Li Xiaotong said with a blushing face.

"Mom is still waiting at home, it's not good if you don't go back, let her feel like you dislike her." Bao Shuai said.

"You go back first, and tell her I'm on a business trip." Li Xiaotong said with a depressed breath in his heart.

Bao Shuai left, and Li Xiaotong stayed at one of the busiest express hotels nearby.

In the hotel, Li Xiaotong didn't sleep all night, and her tears never stopped, thinking about herself, thinking about Bao Shuai's children, thinking about his ex-wife, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the relationship between her and Bao Shuai should not be so unclear. But Li Xiaotong hasn't figured out what to do yet.

Early the next morning, Li Xiaotong asked Director Zhang for leave and began to wander the streets.

Sitting on the steps of the crowded square, looking at the hurried crowd, Li Xiaotong couldn't help but think: Are these people happy? How do they spend their normal lives? Will you quarrel and run into a bad mother-in-law?

Li Xiaotong sat on the steps for a long time, when a couple of resentful couples came and sat down and chatted in front of her like a transparent person.

The couple's conversation made Li Xiaotong suddenly realize.

"You have a wife at home?" The girl didn't seem to be very angry when she asked this.

"yes!"

The boy replied with a grin, not at all ashamed of being caught doing something wrong.

"You've never told me that we've been friends for so long!" The girl's face darkened.

The boy replied calmly, "You never asked me!" ”

The woman was speechless.

Their conversation reminded Li Xiaotong of himself: "It turns out that the excuses for men who have done something wrong are the same, can you not say it without asking?" Bao Shuai's ex-wife is still waiting for him, Bao Shuai has to make money to support his ex-wife, raise children, and have a rude adoptive mother, how should I live this life in the future. ”
