Eighty-nine. Old

"What a sharp question! Speaking of which, you did do your homework before you came here. If you don't mention it, I'll almost forget it. Chen Jianye's expression was a little surprised, but it quickly flashed, and he nodded solemnly at us and said, "Of course I still remember that woman, she looks ...... At that time, although she was a few years older than our mother, she looked very foreign, and even now, she is very fashionable. Wearing a skirt, I make my body smell fragrant all day long, eldest sister...... I'm talking about my sister, who settled in England, and she was only about ten years old at the time, and she was against that woman at every turn, and she repeatedly reminded us that we must not pay attention to her, let alone be bought by her, and she said that the woman was not a good person. In fact, she was nice to us and often bought us something to eat. But we didn't like her very much. Whoever let us have such a father, even if we were not satisfied, she stayed, and the nanny who took care of us hated her. ”

"She was there when the fire broke out, right? Do you remember the details of that time? I asked again, and sure enough, just like we had guessed before, if we wanted to find out the truth of the matter, we had to start with the people of the Chen family first.

"Looks like she's there too, right? It's been so long, I don't remember it very well. Chen Jianye said a little vaguely, "It's a pity that the people who stayed in our house at that time have left one after another, otherwise, you can still inquire from those people." But I'm pretty sure that after that fire. It's called ...... Jiang Mei's woman never appeared again, because our family has become my mother's world, and everyone has to do what she says......"

Chen Jianye was obviously reluctant to mention the name Jiang Mei, even if I mentioned it again and again, he always found a random topic and diverted from it. This aroused our curiosity to find out the true face of that woman. In fact, even I am curious whether this so-called Jiang Mei is really the woman who stayed abroad and married a mysterious rich man. It is said that her later life is legendary. Even their own children. It seems that they all took that opportunity to become extremely influential figures. What makes me feel even more strange is that if she really chooses to return to China at that time, why can she accept being in the same room with Ling Feng?

"What about the painting? I think it's impossible not to have a slight impression of that painting called "Sunflowers", right? "I asked the question again with curiosity. Chen Jianye's expression changed subtly again. He didn't seem angry, though. Instead, I was completely caught up in the memories. I continued: "There is now a saying that the woman in the painting is the woman the painter loved the most. And there is a huge secret hidden in her. Tell me, could that woman be Jiang Mei? ”

"The most beloved woman? These three words are not appropriate for anyone. How could someone like my father have the most beloved woman in this life? He used his own actions to teach us a lesson, telling us that marriage is unreliable and love is unreliable. Chen Jianye's face showed a sad expression, "My distrust of marriage is what I saw from my father. In my opinion, he is just a son-in-law, and he has never thought of being responsible for the woman he loves. So, I don't think the woman in the painting is his favorite, but who he loves...... Maybe he loves himself the most, right? He's too selfish, so I don't think he's capable of loving others, let alone that Jiang Mei. My mother saw it better than anyone else, so she became friends with Jiang Mei later, right? Can I say...... Did it surprise me that things turned out later? Because she had a good relationship with my mother. ”

Lin Zi and I looked at each other, never expecting him to say such a thing, and what I didn't expect was that he seemed to be planning to end the conversation with us, "Actually, I think you can go through my father's notebook first, I think there are some things in it that may be useful to you." Then again, it's a book that completely treats my father as an idol, and it's just a perfect person. I don't think he deserves that kind of compliment. It's like their adoration of their mother before. ”

Chen Jianye didn't ask anything about Lan Nina from beginning to end, as if everything was expected by him. Now seems to be a good time to discuss those issues, so I can let him go later.

"Haven't you thought that it's possible that you're simplifying all the problems yourself? Aren't you afraid of what he might do if you go to the appointment so recklessly? Before we came to our senses, Liu Yu didn't know where to come out. He sat down across from us generously, with a slightly reproachful look on his face, "You're really too bold. How can you come here with him? Are you really not afraid of his bad intentions? ”

"I think he's supposed to be worried, right?" I glared at him, shook my head slowly, and said, "But I'm more interested in the person named Jiang Mei, you won't have no information about her, right?" ”

"In fact...... As you should guess, in the era before she went abroad, the household registration materials were very messy, so most of the information was incomplete. Liu Yu looked at us, but when he said these words, he was a little excited, and after a while he continued: "But fortunately, Chen Chong and they have not been idle, so they still found something useful for us." For example, I applied for study abroad at about the same time as the painter, and then we found a woman named ROSE in English. Judging from the above information, it may be the Jiang Mei you mentioned, according to the above information, she should be more than eighty years old now, and she seems to be alive and well, but it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to get close to her. ”

Speaking of which, Liu Yu took out a photo, which showed a graceful and luxurious old lady with a serious expression, with thin lips tightly pursed, which seemed to show her meanness, and it could be seen that she was quite a stubborn person. But there is no doubt about one thing, it was a woman who was almost 1.7 meters tall, which was relatively rare among people in that era. However, the photo was also apparently taken from a distance, and the woman in the photo is looking intently into the distance. (To be continued.) )
