At five past eleven, Dianzi appeared.Zhimei got up and waved at her, and Dianzi immediately spotted her and walked over. Noriko just called from Haneda Airport and said that she planned to come back today too.The two made an appointment to meet at the snack bar on the first floor of the hotel at eleven o'clock. "It's been a long time, how are you?" "That's it, I'm still working in that small publishing house." After the two talked about each other's current situation for a while, Dianzi started to talk about business: "Tomomi, you just said..."

"By the way, that matter." Tomomi put the letter and photo on the table together, and Dianzi opened her eyes wide after reading it. "How do you have these things?" "Didn't I tell you, you sent it." Tomomi went on and on about her misgivings about the letter and her experience of running around because she was worried about Noriko. "It's not from me," Dianzi shook his head, "I wrote the letter." "Huh? What's going on? Then who sent this letter?" "I think it's the guy." Dianzi turned her face sideways, shrugged at Tomomi with a look of disdain.

"No way, then your husband is really a daredevil, actually attaching irrelevant photos to the letter." "How do I know what he's thinking? I always don't understand the thoughts in his head." As she spoke, she bit her lip, her big eyes became moist and bloodshot. "Dianzi...what happened?" Tomomi asked.Dianzi picked up the photo with two fingers: "This woman is my husband's ex-girlfriend. No, no, they are still alive." "……what happened?" "This woman actually came to my house with this photo." What Dianzi said can be traced back to last Friday.That evening, it suddenly rained, and while listening to the sound of the rain, she wrote a letter to Zhimei, and even filled in the recipient's name and address.Just then, the woman came to the door.She called herself Horiuchi Akiyo, and said that she had been taken care of by Chang Zhang when she was a student, and she happened to come to the neighborhood for something and wanted to come to thank her.Dianzi was a little surprised, but invited her into the house anyway.At the beginning, Qiu Dai said some polite words, but then suddenly put the photo in front of Dianzi.

"The woman said that Changzhang wanted to marry her in the first place. She was forced to break up with her because she was afraid that refusing me would make him a bad man in the company. She also showed me the gold ring that Changzhang gave her. .” Dianzi flipped through the white smoke. "Why don't you marry him? It's not easy for him to be a man in the company?" "Probably because my dad is the manager. Are you kidding me? My dad is not the president. Besides, he was the one who proposed to me. That woman is really rude." "You told her that too?"

"Of course she did, but she just didn't believe it." That's absolutely impossible, Akiyo said.Changzhang still loves me up to now and just wants to break up with you.Dianzi was so angry that he was about to kick Qiudai out of the house when the phone rang.It was Chang Zhang who called, saying that it was raining, and asked Noriko to pick him up at Nomachi Station, about 1.5 kilometers away from home. "So I let the woman stay in the house, and I went to the station to pick up Changzhang. I wanted to hear what he had to say. As a result, when this guy heard that the woman came to the door, his face turned blue all of a sudden. "

Suppressing the desire to scold Changzhang as a "poor guy", Zhimei persuaded tactfully: "He is an honest man, and he won't lie. Tell me quickly, what happens next?" "Later, when we got home, the woman was gone." "Why is that?" "Probably go back." "Well... that's it." Zhimei was discouraged and felt weak all over. "But I can't stop there. I'll ask him what's going on with that woman. At first, this guy hesitated and tried to lie to me, but he finally told the truth. It turns out that the two of them used to date on the premise of marriage on."

"But did we break up in the end?" "That's what he said. But I carefully figured out what he meant. It seems that the two of them still meet often." "Wow, what a mean fellow!" "That's it, that's it!" Dianzi straightened up suddenly, clenched his fists, and slapped his chest loudly: "I was so angry that I ran away from home and returned to my mother's house on Friday night." "So that's the case. No wonder your phone is always unanswered. Ah, isn't your husband at home?" "He works overtime every day until midnight, and won't be back until twelve o'clock."

"Ah, that's it." Speaking of which, Dianzi did tell Tomomi in the letter that her husband is a workaholic. "But now that I think about it, he's not working overtime. He's probably dating that woman." Zhimei secretly agreed in her heart, but she couldn't say it out loud, so she asked again: "When did you go to Tokyo?" "Thursday, I want to change my mood. But the main purpose is to find a new job. I also quit the company here, and I am going to break up with that person. I don't want to live here anymore. I plan to Move back to Tokyo."

"Great, that's a good idea. We can live happily together again. Have you found a job you want?" "Hey, the conditions are always not right. It's not easy to find a job these days, so I want to talk to you, Tomomi." "Okay, I'll be there anytime. But we've got to figure this out first." Zhimei tapped some letters and photos with her fingertips: "We have to ask your husband why he did this." "Too……" Dianzi hesitated for a while, holding his chin, and finally pressed his hand on the table with a "snap": "Tomomi, let's go to my house together now. This time we must settle many things."

"Of course I went with you." Zhimei half cared about her friends, half wanted to watch the excitement, so she nodded her head in agreement.
