It was still the address given by Gao Yi, still the same place, but only separated by a wall. Cao Rui was knocking on the door of an old Shanghai residence, but next door was a hidden courtyard.

Pushing the door and walking in, you will see a large courtyard with lush trees. The house is not in a modern and fashionable style, but in the layout of a simple and elegant Western-style mansion. This is a very historical house.

Gao Yi took the key and opened the door. After entering, Cao Rui was surprised to find that the decoration inside was very luxurious. Compared with the inconspicuous appearance, the inside was really beautiful, just like a foreign palace.

The space leading into the living room may have a ceiling height of more than ten meters, with a huge crystal chandelier hanging on it. When the lights were turned on, the huge living room was illuminated with splendor. Gao Yi threw the suitcase randomly and sat on the sofa.

"This is it, the address given to you is here! How about it? Isn't this a beautiful place that meets the dreams of many people!" Gao Yi said.

Cao Rui stood stunned on the spot, what else could he say? The building next door just now has the same number as this one. I don't know how the house was built in the first place. It is an old-fashioned residence outside and there is a mansion hidden next to it.

Such a big place, let alone a place like Shanghai where every inch of land is at a premium, even if it is placed in a small third- and fourth-tier city like Wude, it is a place that ordinary people cannot even imagine.

This cannot be said to be in line with many people's dreams, because many people would never dream of such a house. People's exposure to the world is limited, and their dreams cannot reach this level.

However, Cao Rui was not very interested in these, he was not interested.

Gao Yi spread his hands and said: "You are not very interested in such a beautiful and perfect place, or even have no interest at all. Why?"

Cao Rui sat on another single sofa and stroked the armrests of the sofa with his hands. What he felt was the softness and nobility of the leather. Cao Rui had never sat on such a comfortable or luxurious sofa, but he did not feel happy at all.

Gao Yi's words did not receive a response, so she continued: "The reason for your unhappiness is because of people! You are obsessed with the person you can't let go of, and you haven't seen it. No matter how beautiful the external objects are, you are not interested, are you?"

Cao Rui said: "Why did you give me a fake address?"

Gao Yi said: "Is this a fake address? This is a real address, and I brought you here..."

"but……"

"I know what you are going to say. You want to say that there is no Liu Xiaojing here! I can only tell you that she is such a big living person. It is not strange for her to go anywhere. I can't decide her fate!

Not to mention her fate, I can't even control my own fate! Look at me, there are houses everywhere, cars everywhere, endless money to spend, and endless prosperity and wealth to enjoy...

I can be inactive all my life, and I can still live a privileged life that is the envy of the common people! "

"But... is that useful? It's no use. I don't even have a man, I don't even have a family! Other women are married, raising husbands and raising children, and I... have been living like this all my life and waiting to die. This is One can see the end of life at a glance..."

When Gao Yi said this, she suddenly became excited. She suddenly stood up, walked to Cao Rui, and stared at Cao Rui:

"You are unhappy, am I happy? Your lover is gone and lost, but she is also my friend. I have no friends, just this one, but what can I do? We can't decide.

Is the banker very powerful? Do they decide their own destiny? I can’t decide either…”

Gao Yi's eyes turned red and tears rolled in his eyes: "It's not just bookmakers. Sometimes when I read too much, I wonder what a human being is? What's the meaning of a human being? What is our so-called civilization?"

Everything is fake, everything is empty, we are all wretches, and the things we think are most precious cannot be obtained. And what we get, we don’t think is precious..."

Cao Rui stared at Gao Yi. His inner feelings were indescribable. Various emotions were intertwined. He was originally very angry, but now he couldn't be angry anymore. He only felt uncomfortable. The kind of discomfort burst out from his bones, no, from the depths of his soul. It bursts out everywhere.

He asked: "I came to Shanghai for nothing, what are you doing here? Just to let me take a look at your luxurious house?"

Gao Yi said: "You ran to Shanghai, didn't you just want to break free from all the shackles of life, remove all the shackles, and then vigorously pursue the life you want?

I gave you the address a long time ago, but you never came. I thought you didn't have the courage at all. I didn't expect you to come suddenly at this time. And you are still so angry. In fact, if the time was right, you would have been able to see Liu Xiaojing, but it is a pity that the time was wrong. If you came now, you could only see this empty house..."

Gao Yi stood up with his hands on the sofa and said:

"But it doesn't matter. If you are really determined, you can leave now! Let's buy air tickets to the United States and fly there directly. Then we can put down everything we have now and start life again..."

Gao Yi pointed to the suitcase and said: "I have thought about it. I can put everything down, including Lao Gao! If you have thought about it too, let's buy air tickets now. We will fly to Southeast Asia first, and then fly to the United States. Don't think about it. Passport issues, I can get through all these joints..."

What the hell!

Cao Rui is crazy, really crazy!

No, Cao Rui felt that the woman in front of him was crazy. Oh my God, she wanted to sneak away to the United States. What kind of nature was she running away with her identity? Is this betrayal of the country?

Also, she was born here, grew up here, everything is here, how could she just let it go completely? This is ridiculous, Cao Rui felt that it was completely beyond the scope of his thinking.

"What's wrong? Don't you dare to decide? Can't you let go? Don't you care about Xiaojing so much? You still can't let go of everything for her, can you?"

Cao Rui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he felt even more uncomfortable. His eyes were red, and he felt a surge of blood rushing to his head. But no matter how excited he was, he couldn't say that he would give up everything and go to the United States.

He is not a madman. He lives in reality. He cannot give up everything he has now. Putting aside his work, he cannot give up his parents or his daughter. That is impossible...

Can Gao Yi give up? She can give up everything, she wants to be free, she wants to remove all the constraints on her body...

Cao Rui suddenly felt that this woman was actually pitiful. She had endless money, an unfathomable background, and a broad and unlimited future. In the eyes of ordinary people, she had everything, but so what? She lives in depression every day, and she is unhappy. She is just a human being, and those who are really bad are all bitches.
