After the divorce, my ex’s brother became very possessive of me.

The woman still didn't speak. Who in this world would help her for free?

Who would be so good?

No...impossible. When she was brought to this prison, that man clearly told her that she would have to stay here for the rest of her life. If she lived for a long time, life would be worse than death. Time was short, but he did not have the courage to commit suicide.

She spends every day like a year, relying on missing her relatives outside to survive these painful days.

How could you not want to go out?

However, she had no chance. For the past five years, he would come to see her once a year and tell her some things she wanted to know. Although she had no trust in him at all, it was fine to deceive herself and others. Listening and thinking were the only thoughts that could keep her alive.

…………

However, he will never come again in the future, and she will die here of old age for the rest of her life...

"Get up! The time is up, everyone, get up and go back!"

As soon as the time in the prison was up, the alarm bell was sounded, and the prison guards waved their batons and began to maintain order and let the prisoners enter the prison obediently.

The two women squatting together also stood up. The one who had not spoken to each other from beginning to end still did not speak. She dropped the small wooden stick in her hand on the ground. Before leaving, she scribbled on the words she had just written. After stepping on the painting area a few times, the things on the ground instantly became even more blurry.

The woman who just shouted to help her couldn't help but look at her twice. Before being driven into the prison by the prison guards, she glanced at the ground again. It was a mess, and she didn't know what she was writing...

All people were monitored by prison guards and entered their cells.

The prisoners held here are all serious crimes, so they are basically all in separate rooms. The woman walked into her room, and the iron door was locked from the outside. There was a clang, and the prison guard who closed the door knocked hard on the iron door. She stood on the railing and yelled at her back fiercely: "Be more honest!"

"........."

The prison guard's departure gradually became farther and farther away. Only when he could no longer hear it did the woman turn around and find a yellowed photo from under her bed.

His dull eyes softened a lot the moment he saw the photo.

Her skinny fingers, trembling, slowly touched the photo - on the photo, there was a man, a woman, and a girl. The man looked about 40 years old. His facial features were not very three-dimensional and deep, but he looked... He seems very approachable, especially when he smiles, he always gives people a warm feeling. And the woman... this woman... she felt like she almost didn't recognize the woman in the photo. She was so beautiful back then, with delicate features, bright eyes and white teeth. When she smiled, her eyebrows were crescent...

The woman's fingers stroking the photo were shaking even more violently. In fact, it was nothing more than the past five years or so. But why, now, has she forgotten even what she once looked like?

She was really beautiful back then... What has she become like now?

…………

When her eyes fell on the girl's face, even her eyes trembled——

Her eyes are like the man in the photo, her nose is like the woman in the photo, and her mouth...it seems like both of them have been thought of.

Her hair was long, black, and extremely soft. At that time, she always liked to comb her hair into a ponytail.

It’s been 5 years, more than 5 years...

Is she okay?

Is he okay?

…………

Sometimes, she really doesn't even dare to look at the photos, because once she looks at them, she's afraid that she won't be able to help herself and wants to go out. If this idea grows crazy, she will be even more restless every day, but... …what to do?

Can't get out, can't get out anymore...

City C.

After Nian Zhi arrived at the company, he first approached Ji Yang and asked about Mu Chenchu's request for a day off. Who should he approach to approve it? She used to work in the human resources department, but now because of that project, her office has been moved to the 28th floor. So if she wants to ask someone for leave now, who should approve it?

Ji Yang smiled and said to her respectfully: "Miss Nian, please find Mr. Song. He has just arrived at the company and should be in the office now."

Nian Zhi looked troubled, not really wanting to face Song Wenjing.

Glancing at Ji Yang hesitantly, she begged in a low voice, "Assistant Ji, actually... it's a trivial matter for Mu Chenchu ​​to ask for leave. Otherwise, it's like this. You're going to see Mr. Song soon anyway, so just help me by the way." ,Ok?"

"Ms. Nian, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't go see Mr. Song right now." Ji Yang knows how to exercise discretion and advance and retreat in a measured manner, "Mr. Song just gave me a task, and I have to finish it right away. You I know that Mr. Song doesn’t like inefficient employees, and I’ve been with him for so many years, so I can’t make such a low-level mistake.”

"........."

Five minutes later, Nian Zhi stood at the door of the president's office and took a deep breath.

I hesitated several times and reached out to knock on the door, but... I finally pulled my hand back. What should I do?

She didn't dare to face him...

Nian Zhi, Nian Zhi!

She stamped her feet vigorously and cursed herself in her heart. She was really spineless. How big a deal could it be? Which of the things he had done to himself before was not more egregious than what he said to himself that day in Chenchen's apartment? Although I didn't really want to face him before, how come this feeling has changed from a true "don't want to face him" to the current "dare not face it"?

"Don't want to" and "dare not"——

The difference in changes can probably only be described by her current state of mind.

However, since he is in the same company and he is his immediate boss, he cannot avoid him all the time. If he doesn't see him today, he will see him tomorrow. Nian Zhi took a deep breath, reached out and pinched the bridge of her nose that was aching. She was going to knock on the door after all. She gritted her teeth and finally plucked up the courage to reach out. Suddenly she heard a muffled "bang" coming from inside the office. She was startled by the sound, and subconsciously held the doorknob with her hand, trying to push the door in, but the door was opened from the inside——
