As the setting sun approached dusk, Meng Zhenyu squeezed out of the bus with his tired body, and walked slowly towards the old residential buildings on the side of the road.

The facilities here are outdated and the surrounding environment is messy. The most frustrating thing for him is that there is no elevator in the residential building. Every day he has to climb six flights of stairs to get home after get off work.

For Meng Zhenyu who just wanted to go home and lie down and rest after get off work, it was no less than a bitter thing.

The stairwell smelled of corruption, and the space was dark. From time to time, someone could hear voices and scolding from someone in the corridor.

Frowning, Meng Zhenyu patiently climbed up to the sixth floor, and he let out a sigh of relief when he reached the door of his rented room.

No matter how long he lived here, he couldn't get used to such an environment.

He secretly thought, after completing this project and paying the bonus, he will find a clean place to live again, and bear with it for now.

Taking out the key and opening the door, Meng Zhenyu stepped in, and what he saw was a dim room, with a figure sitting vaguely on the sofa in the middle, facing the door directly.

Meng Zhenyu was startled, and hurriedly turned on the light next to him.

Under the miserable incandescent light, Lan Xiuxiu with her hair disheveled, looked at him expressionlessly.

While Meng Zhenyu breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help being a little angry.

He threw his carry-on bag aside and scolded: "What are you doing sitting here without turning on the light? I don't know how scary people are."

Loosening the neckline between his throat, Meng Zhenyu took off his coat, lay down on the sofa exhaustedly, and sighed contentedly.

It's nice to sit and rest like this!

"What about the rice, is it ready to eat?" He closed his eyes and asked, "I said yesterday that I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, have you done it?"

During this period, he didn't even look at Lan Xiuxiu.

At the very beginning, when his love was the deepest, he wished he could hold Lan Xiuxiu in his palm, don't want her to do anything, give her everything he had, and didn't want to let others suffer.

They were full of love and drinking water. At that time, they were the most loving couple in the world.

However, no matter how deep the love is, it will fade with time. Gradually, they will quarrel, blame each other, and even discover more intolerable shortcomings in each other.

Conflicts are piling up, just like most couples in the world who are tormenting each other, the tenderness and sweetness of life and death have become numb and indifferent in the daily necessities.

Lan Xiuxiu shed tears sadly, but her tears used to make people feel distressed, but now they are so cheap that they don't get any attention.

"You just know how to eat and eat, and you don't care what happened to me at home?" Lan Xiuxiu accused.

Meng Zhenyu closed his eyes: "You are fine at home every day, what can happen? Is the air conditioner broken again, or the gas is gone?"

There was indescribable boredom in his tone.

Lan Xiuxiu's heart skipped a beat. She blinked, bit her lips and said, "Zhenyu, do you know? The debt collectors came to the house next door today. They not only splashed paint, but also chopped people up. Don't youKnow how scared I was."

The general economic conditions for renting and living here are not very good. There are all kinds of residents in the building, including those who borrow money and cannot repay.

Meng Zhenyu finally opened his eyes, and said disgustedly: "No wonder I smell something. Okay, don't worry about other people's affairs, can we eat?"

Lan Xiuxiu finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Do you know how to eat? If there is no food, I didn't cook it. Are you satisfied!"

Meng Zhenyu said impatiently: "Why are you losing your temper? I have been working for a day, so am I still hungry when I go home?"

Lan Xiuxiu pounced on him, grabbed his arm tightly, and looked up at him with tears in her eyes: "Zhenyu, let's move, I don't want to live here anymore. You don't know how scary those people are, I love youAfraid that they will come again, they are inhuman, what if we don't let them go?"

Meng Zhenyu glanced at her face, and said coldly: "Where do you want to move, do you know how hard it is to find a suitable house?"

Where can find a house that is so cheap and close to work?And he doesn't have the time and energy.

Lan Xiuxiu showed a look of expectation on her face, and said in a low voice: "We don't rent, I'm tired of renting a house and living without my own home. Zhenyu, let's buy a house, a house of our own, and thenThere is no need to look at the face of the landlord."

Meng Zhenyu glanced at her in surprise, speechless: "Buy a house? Don't you know how much money we have? Can that money buy a toilet here? Stop dreaming."

Doesn't he want to own his own house, but his salary is basically spent every month, isn't it fantastic to buy a house with these paltry money?

Lan Xiuxiu said eagerly: "If you don't have money, then find a way. Zhenyu, have you forgotten your own identity? You have parents, they are rich, have a lot of money, and you are their only son.”

She said aggrievedly: "I know they were unwilling to forgive you at the beginning, but after so long, no matter how big the anger is, it should disappear. Zhenyu, we are not greedy for their money, but let them help you, at leastSupport some money to buy us a house, even if there is a down payment."

At the beginning, they agreed to give each other time to calm down, but almost two years later, the other party did not contact them at all, and Meng Zhenyu didn't know what medicine he had taken, so he was so stupid that he didn't take the initiative to contact them.

When Lan Xiuxiu wanted to come, no matter how reluctant the Meng family couple was, Meng Zhenyu divorced his ex-wife after all. Could it be that he ignored his son for the rest of his life?

As long as Meng Zhenyu lowers his figure, please call and say more good things, will they still have to live a miserable life?

Meng Zhenyu looked at Lan Xiuxiu with some compassion, she actually expected money from the Meng family?

That's right, she didn't know that he severed ties with the Meng family and signed an agreement to renounce all property.

She didn't even know that the only prerequisite for the Meng family to give him money was that he had already left Lan Xiuxiu.

Moreover, he thought embarrassingly, he might have tried to call the Meng family's parents, but they were all rejected mercilessly.

The only way to get rid of the current life is to leave Lan Xiuxiu.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't know that there is something wrong with the relationship between himself and Lan Xiuxiu. He doesn't seem to love each other as much as before, and sometimes staying together is just because of habit.

The reason why they are still together is like self-esteem is at work, as if they are separated, it will prove that their previous choices are wrong and stupid, and his self-righteous insistence is wrong.

He shook his head and said, "Don't think about it, they won't give us a penny."

Lan Xiuxiu was anxious: "Why, you are their son?"

Meng Zhenyu said impatiently: "But they have grandchildren. This is also the condition of the divorce. I gave up everything before you can leave the police station. Do you understand?"

"What does it mean to give up everything?" Lan Xiuxiu's eyes widened in disbelief, "Then you really have nothing, don't they want you to go home?"

Meng Zhenyu smiled wryly, puncturing her delusion: "They have a grandson, so I'm naturally dispensable, so don't think about getting help from the Meng family."

They can only rely on themselves.

Lan Xiuxiu let him go, and slumped on the ground helplessly, with a dazed expression.

She murmured: "How could this be?"

Lan Xiuxiu is a little confused, don't people in the world value their sons very much?Why did the couple of Meng's family give up their only son so easily and don't want him anymore.

Then what will they do in the future, just continue to live in the dark days?

She thought blankly, this is different from what she expected!

Therefore, no matter how long she waited, it was useless.

Meng Zhenyu touched Kong Kong's stomach and pushed her: "Okay, let's cook!"

Lan Xiuxiu was hit a bit hard, she stood up blankly in the face of the man's urging, but the destination was not the kitchen, but their bedroom.

As soon as the door was closed, Lan Xiuxiu's cry came from inside, it was the cry of hope shattered.

Meng Zhenyu was taken aback, sighed, and finally decided to spend extravagantly tonight—let's order a takeaway!.

After talking about it that day, Lan Xiuxiu has been silent a lot, and her eyes have also darkened a lot, making it hard to see through.

Meng Zhenyu only thought that she was disappointed and hadn't accepted the reality, and went to and from get off work as usual, living his life mechanically.

One day, Meng Zhenyu felt dizzy and uncomfortable after arriving at the company, so he guessed it was heatstroke.

He didn't hold on, and asked for leave from his boss, wanting to go home and lie down.

When he arrived downstairs in the community, he was already sweating coldly and was weak.

I wanted to make a call to ask Lan Xiuxiu to go downstairs to pick him up, but the phone rang for a long time and no one answered.

Cursing angrily, Meng Zhenyu supported his limp body and walked up the stairs step by step while holding onto the railing.

When he got to the sixth floor, he was already dizzy and almost couldn't stand up.

Trembling, he took out the key and opened the door, he staggered in, and immediately wanted to go to the kitchen to pour a glass of cold water.

Passing by the door of the bedroom, he vaguely heard movement inside, and thought Lan Xiuxiu was inside.

At first he thought she wasn't there when she was out, but when he thought she was home but didn't answer the phone, Meng Zhenyu was so angry that he kicked the door with his foot.

He cursed, "Come out, I'm back."

There was a scream from inside the door, followed by a loud noise, as if something fell down.

Meng Zhenyu was stunned, he frowned, not wanting to understand.Feeling more and more uncomfortable in his body, he turned his head and walked towards the kitchen.

After walking a few steps, his body froze, and his whole portrait was frozen.

Suddenly, he strode towards the bedroom door suddenly, raised his fist and knocked hard on the door.

"Come out, Lan Xiuxiu, come out for me!" His eyeballs were so red that they were about to bleed, and his whole face turned purple.

The sound, the sound just now, made Meng Zhenyu feel like vomiting for a moment.

"Open the door, fucking open the door for me!" He kicked the door like crazy, breathing heavily.

In the voice just now, Lan Xiuxiu was mixed with charm, but there was another subtle voice, rough and unfamiliar.

A terrible conjecture flashed in Meng Zhenyu's mind, making him cold from head to toe.

Now he just wants to break through that door and see who is hiding inside?
