Original sin

What Liu Bai and Tao Min said was similar to what they said to Fu Hong and Huang Meng that day.

Liu Bai did not hide his dissatisfaction with Xie Changqing, especially when it came to music creation, he said that he admitted that Xie Changqing was a genius, but he was not down-to-earth, eager for quick success is Liu Bai's evaluation of Xie Changqing.

"Xiao Shen, you don't know, as an artist, when you push out a work that is not very mature, how uncomfortable you feel, just like a child who is pregnant in October, who is born in advance. How malnourished it is, and maybe even deformed, can such a work really be regarded as a work of art? A good work of art should not have too many flaws, it should be clean and pure."

When it comes to art, Liu Bai is very enthusiastic.

Tao Min smiled apologetically at Shen Shen and Wang Lu: "Old Liu is like this, he is obsessed with art, he does not seek fame or profit, sometimes I talk about him, want to open something, there is no such thing as pure art now , Most people are using the brand of art to make money."

Liu Bai interjected: "That's right, there are indeed a lot of people like this now, and the atmosphere of art is made to be spoiled by them. But I still prefer to believe that there are people who really understand art and are willing to dedicate themselves to art. Not everyone is Greed, right? Just take the teacher as an example, he has kept his ears to the outside world all these years, and devoted himself to his own learning."

The teacher he was talking about was naturally Wang Lu's uncle Wang Chunyi.

Shen Shen asked: "Mr. Liu, ask a question that shouldn't be asked. Everyone says you are a perfectionist. I can feel your pursuit of perfection in art. So do you also pursue perfection in life? Woolen cloth?"

Liu Bai smiled and said: "I don't think I'm pursuing perfection, I just hope to be the best. Of course it's the same with life. I believe everyone wants to live in the way they want, right?"

"You and Ms. Tao are living a happy life now, right?"

Liu Bai glanced at Tao Min affectionately in his eyes, and then nodded: "It can be said that she understands me very well, knows what I want to do, what I am thinking, what she does and what she says can touch my heart. Go up your heart."

Shen Chen smiled slightly: "Then what was it like when you were with Liang Lan before?"

Wang Lu glared at Shen Chen, from Shen Chen's first sentence, she knew that Shen Chen would be here waiting for Liu Bai, and Shen Chen was going around in circles to lure Liu Bai in.

Sure enough, upon hearing Shen Shen's question, Liu Bai's expression also changed slightly. He pondered for a while before replying: "I was with Liang Lan because of the pressure from the family at that time, and at that time I was young and didn't have much interest in marriage. As long as people are beautiful, they think it’s fine. But after we were really together, we realized that we are people from two worlds. What we pursue are fundamentally different, and the life she wants is something I cannot give. Of course , she can't fit into my life either. We just barely live together because of the constraints of marriage, and there are constant conflicts and problems."

Speaking of this, he changed his subject: "But don't think that I will do anything to her because of this. After all, she has paid more or less for that family after living together for these years. As the saying goes, even if she There is hard work without credit. Yes, our philosophies are different, and the three views are also different, but anyway, we used to be a family, and even in my heart, I have regarded her as a relative, but there is no distinction between men and women. It’s just the relationship between them. Like after the divorce, sometimes she asks me to help with something, as long as it’s not too principled, I don’t refuse.”

Shen Shen nodded, he had also read some magazines about Liu Bai's "Family Love Talk", many couples burn out their love in the end, and the only thing left is family love, and it is this family love that maintains a marriage in the end.Two people are like relatives, coupled with the blood bond of children.

Are there any couples who live their lives on love? There must be, but it is certainly not the majority.

Shen Shen looked at Tao Min: "You and Liang Lan are also very familiar, I mean before you and Liu Bai got married."

"The first person I met was Liang Lan. At that time, Liu Bai was just a name and a symbol to me. Although Liu Bai and Xie Changqing were partners, he was never willing to attend some social occasions, and Xie Changqing went there. Our music company has cooperated with their studio, but Xie Changqing has always been in charge of this matter, and I was connected with Xie Changqing. I also met Liang Lan through Xie Changqing. But I am not very familiar. How to say about her Well, I don't have much affection, forget it, let's not talk about it, she is Lao Liu's ex-wife, as Lao Liu's current wife, it is inappropriate to discuss her too much, let alone she is no longer alive, let me talk about her It’s not enough to say what’s not, right?”

But Wang Lu said: "Sister Tao, you can't say that. Liang Lan is dead. Everything we do now is to catch her murderer, and we came to you to learn about her situation. , so that we can bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible."

Liu Bai looked at Tao Min with encouraging eyes: "Since they asked you to say it, just say it, we all believe that you are not a gossip."

Tao Min sighed: "Well, since this is the case, I'll just say it straight. Liang Lan gives me the feeling that she is very vain and likes to compare with others. In fact, sometimes some things don't suit her, but she doesn't care, she just wants to I am happy to be able to have like others. Because I love vanity, I will naturally be greedy for money. When I divorced Lao Liu, it was originally agreed that the previous house would belong to her, and the savings would belong to her. In addition to a car that Lao Liu used to commute on weekdays, She almost left the house without leaving the house, but later she regretted it, thinking that Lao Liu owed her too much, and asked Lao Liu to take out 50 yuan. I thought to myself, if the 50 yuan can buy a clean ear, I will give it. Well, Lao Liu has no money, so I will give the money. But Lao Liu disagrees, he said that human desires are like ravines that cannot be leveled, and if he really wants to give it to her so easily, she must think that the money is easy to get, maybe he will I often have such thoughts. Moreover, Lao Liu said that this is his own business, and he is unwilling to let me pay the money, so it is like squeezing toothpaste, giving her what she earns, which makes her very upset. "

Liu Bai smiled wryly: "She said outside that I bought such a good house without her money. She clearly knew that I didn't buy this house. Before Xiao Min and I were together, Xiao Min had already bought it. For this house, from buying to decorating, to moving in, not only did I not pay a penny, I didn't even contribute a single cent. Thinking about it, I feel sorry for Xiao Min."

"Fool, what are we talking about?" Tao Min's eyes showed deep love.

Wang Lu coughed: "Okay, dog abuse, I said you guys showed your affection, haven't you heard of it? Show affection, die fast. Let's talk about business, don't mess with these nasty things."

The faces of Liu Bai and Tao Min she mentioned blushed, but Shen Shen seemed to be thinking about something.

"How much of the 50 has she gotten?"

"Sixty thousand." Liu Bai replied, and sighed again: "It's because of this that she feels dissatisfied. She thinks we have money now, but the money belongs to Xiao Min."

"You and Xie Changqing are partners, he can make so much money, you shouldn't be bad, right?"

"In fact, the business of the studio can't earn a lot of money, and when Xie Changqing was here, he often engaged in business receptions, and the expenses were not small. Although I am a partner, I am more responsible for the professional part. , that is, creation, we originally agreed on a [-]% to [-]% share ratio, I accounted for [-]% of the income, and he accounted for [-]%, and this income is in addition to the so-called operation and maintenance expenses he mentioned. Money, huh, Chang Qing has indeed earned money, such as holding training courses, being a judge for some competitions, but it is all earned by himself, and has nothing to do with the studio. So our studio said It’s a partnership, and it’s actually serving him. As for me, I don’t have a big heart, and I’m easy to be satisfied, as long as there are enough conditions for me to engage in creation.”

Liu Bai is a person obsessed with artistic creation, and he really doesn't value money and things very much. In Tao Min's words, although Liu Bai is a perfectionist, he is not so picky about his personal life. His perfection It is about things, not personal enjoyment, and he is not a hedonist.

"What about you, are you annoyed by Liang Lan's insatiable greed? At least she has disturbed your peaceful life. Since Mr. Liu is a perfectionist, he probably can't tolerate such imperfect things happening, right?" Shen Shen asked very directly, without even considering their feelings.

Tao Min pursed her lips: "She is indeed annoying, but thinking about it again, such a person is not very sad. Lao Liu is a treasure, at least I think so. He is talented and knows how to love others. And she doesn't have the male chauvinism of ordinary men. She turns a blind eye to these advantages and only pursues the immediate interests. If she doesn't separate from Lao Liu, there will be nothing for me. Should I thank her? Thinking about it this way, I There is no so-called annoyance as you said. On the contrary, sometimes I think she is very pitiful. When she needs Lao Liu's help, even if Lao Liu is a little emotional, I will persuade Lao Liu. Just help if you have to."

Liu Bai nodded: "Xiao Min is very reasonable on this point. As for the fact that I can't tolerate such imperfections, I was already imperfect when I was with her. Now it is much better than before. What can't be tolerated?"

"Then she and Xie Changqing are so close, does Mr. Liu never doubt the relationship between the two of them?"

Wang Lu felt a little anxious when she heard Shen Chen's question. Although she knew that this question was really important, she shouldn't ask it in such a direct way, right?As a man, this question is very embarrassing, if not, Liu Bai will turn his face on the spot, and even don't give himself, this little junior sister, any face at all.

Fortunately, Liu Bai didn't show too much displeasure, but said lightly: "It's not important, those are not important anymore, she has the right to pursue what she wants, just like I have the right to pursue what I want , at least, the current result is very good for me." While speaking, he gently hugged Tao Min again, and Tao Min's hand patted the back of his hand lightly.

Shen Chen smiled: "That's right, this result is really good for you. By the way, does she have any enemies? With her character, it should be easy to make enemies, right?"

Liu Bai shook his head: "When she was with me before, she probably didn't have any grudges with anyone. Although her mouth is sometimes broken, her heart is not bad. As for her being with those people after divorcing me It’s not like it’s the same as before, it’s hard to say, you also know, I can’t pay too much attention to her after divorce, although I still get along like friends, but it’s just an ordinary friend relationship.”

Shen Chen knew that this conversation should be over, so he stood up: "Mr. Liu, Ms. Tao, no, I should call you Mrs. Liu, thank you for your cooperation, if there is anything I need, I will chat with you two again, then we will leave gone."

After Shen Chen finished speaking, he looked at Wang Lu. Wang Lu also smiled and said goodbye to Liu Bai and his wife. Liu Bai said that we should have a light meal together. Shen Shen could tell that he was just being polite. It was embarrassing, so I naturally refused.

On the way back, Shen Shen asked Wang Lu what she thought about the matter of Liu Bai and his wife. Wang Lu said: "I know Liu Bai too well, so I don't know what to say, but I think it is impossible for Liu Bai and his wife to be murdered." Liang Lan's murderer, especially Liu Bai, said that he already regarded Liang Lan as a relative from the bottom of his heart. Also, although Tao Min's sentence seemed to be a joke, if it wasn't because of Liang Lan, she wouldn't have had the chance to have a relationship with Liu Bai. Together, this is an indisputable fact, she said that she is grateful to Liang Lan in her heart, and I think it should be true, based on such a mentality, I don't think they would do that."

Shen Shen said flatly: "Maybe there are other reasons that we don't know."
