268. Meet old acquaintances
Hong Limin is another granddaughter of Hong Xing. When Hong Limin was young, his father died, because his father left a huge amount of property, and her mother was very doting, so that she would not be wary of others at all, even if two years ago, the death of her dependent mother did not affect her character.
But that's no longer the case. Because now she knows to beware of others, although the purity on her face has not disappeared, but the purity in her heart has disappeared a lot.
The knots in my heart are caused by my husband's cheating behavior.
Hong Limin married Tajima three years ago, when Tajima was a new painter who attracted the attention of the art world and was a rising star in the art world. Although Tajima had no money at that time, he was young and had a bright future.
"I can't give you anything." Tajima said this when he courted her. "It's a big dream of mine to marry you, because I like you very much, and my dreams are all your shadows."
Although Tajima is not good at talking about love, saying sentimental words is like taking an oath, but Hong Limin thinks that this is a sincere performance, this kind of person is trustworthy, Hong Limin was also a literary girl at that time, writing some sentimental lyric poems, and the "genius painter" was very attractive to her.
At that time, my mother was still alive, and although I objected to her marriage to a poor painter, I finally agreed, not only agreed, but later praised Tajima's character, which may have been a reassuring relationship, and a year later, when my mother died, she died peacefully.
The married life is very happy and satisfying, because Tajima loves her wholeheartedly, Tajima's willful character, childishness, and even his impatient temper are the manifestations of a genius painter in Hong Limin's eyes.
A year after getting married, art dealers began to buy Tajima's paintings, which not only made Tajima famous in the art world, but also increased his income sharply, but the relationship between the two did not diminish, at least Hong Limin believed so.
The only regret between the two is that they don't have children, but this does not affect their relationship.
Not only Hong Limin himself thinks he is happy, but the people around him also think that they are a loving couple. As Tajima's fame grew, Hong Limin also became the subject of media coverage, and at that time she gave her husband a score of 100.
She believes in Tajima 100% from the bottom of her heart and cares for Tajima wholeheartedly.
When Hong Limin met with a friend from high school, she heard that her husband was untrustworthy and divorced...... When I talk about this kind of thing, I feel very incredible, thinking that this is a thing in a distant world, and I am sure that this kind of thing will not happen to me.
Although "love" is very sweet, it is also easy to break, but Hong Limin did not notice this.
Hong Limin's love and trust in her husband lasted until three years later, when she suddenly collapsed.
She learns by chance that her husband is having an affair, which devastates her as much as the love is, and the disappointment and pain are as great as the love.
She thought of going to Guan Lin to tell her about the resentment and pain in her heart. Guan Lin was her and a college classmate who once pursued her, and although they didn't succeed, they were still good friends.
Guan Lin, who hasn't seen each other for a long time, looks like he has changed, but he doesn't seem to have changed, his face is still the same as in the past, with a gentle smile, but the overall impression on Hong Limin is that he has become very mature and stable.
"Ahh What's going on? ”
"Let's find a place to talk slowly."
"It's been a long time since I've been here, but nothing has changed, not just the street scene, but even you—" Guan Lin said as he looked at Hong Limin.
"No, I've changed." Hong Limin sighed and said.
"You've become prettier than before and look blissful—"
“……”
"What's wrong? Am I saying the wrong thing? If yes, I apologize to you—"
"It's not." Hong Limin shook his head.
"If not, I'm relieved." Guan Lin said very politely. "Would you like to go for a coffee?"
"Okay."
"Where is better?"
"Anywhere, as long as it's quiet—"
"I see."
Seki Lin stopped and looked around at the nearby night scene.
"There's a café around here that I used to go to when I was studying."
"Okay, let's go to that café."
"Tajima also went with me. That's right! How is Tajima doing? ”
"Good." Hong Limin replied in a stiff tone.
Guan Lin didn't seem to notice that Hong Limin was a little wrong, and said with a smile: "Really? ”
They bent into the alley and entered a café called "House in the Woods", with a picture of a hut in the woods cut out of gold leaf on the glass door.
It seemed to be a place for the artists to rest, because when they sat down, they were surrounded by men with long hair and gold-rimmed glasses, and young women in fashionable clothes.
Perhaps three years ago, her husbands, Tajima and Sekibayashi, like these young men and women, came to this café to talk about the future.
After Hong Limin and Guan Lin each ordered a cup of hot coffee, Guan Lin asked Hong Limin, "Can I smoke?" After Hong Limin agreed, Guan Lin took out a cigarette.
"It's not quiet." Guan Lin said with trepidation. "The only good thing, though, is that our conversation won't be overheard."
"Yes."
Hong Limin nodded while looking around and saw a painting hanging on the pillar.
It was a small painting, and when Hong Limin saw that painting, she couldn't help but change her face, because the colorful picture of a woman with a bare ass was her husband's work.
And the woman with the smiling bare ass was none other than Kuwabara. Husband's lover.
"Let's go!" Hong Limin couldn't help but cry out.
"What the hell is going on?" As soon as he walked outside, Guan Lin asked in surprise.
The expression on Guan Lin's face was not angry, but surprised.
"I'm sorry......" Hong Limin whispered, feeling very embarrassed by the gaffe just now. Because she can't stand to talk to Guan Lin in front of Kuwabara's portrait, she will lose her temper so much, which is her cleanliness fetish, and it can also be said that her weakness.
"Are there any acquaintances in there?" Guan Lin asked. Guan Lin, who doesn't know the truth of the matter, probably can't imagine why she would be so out of shape!
After walking a few steps silently, Hong Limin suddenly stopped and said, "Take me to a place where you can drink, okay?" ”
Guan Lin widened his eyes and asked, "Drinking?" Miss Hong Limin wants to drink? ”
"Can't you?"
"It's not that it doesn't work......"
"Then take me."
"Aren't you afraid that Tajima will be angry?"
"Don't mention him......" Hong Limin said angrily.
Guan Lin seemed to sense something from her expression.
"Let's go!" Guan Lin led the way in front.
Guan Lin took Mr. Hong to a small bar in a nearby alley, where only two or three customers sat on high chairs in front of the bar to drink, quiet and soft music playing.
"What do you want to drink?" After Guan Lin and Hong Limin sat down face-to-face, they asked Hong Limin.
