Chapter 408 Stamp Collection
Of course, Brigitte Lin is not that stupid. No matter how close she is to Hu Yinmeng, she would not tell all her secrets to others.
What's more, although her marriage with Qin Xianglin has had some bumps, she has not yet thought about divorce, so naturally she doesn't want outsiders to know about her infidelity.
Even without considering these, she still has a sense of shame, and even in front of her best friends, she wants to retain the most basic self-esteem.
I can only say that the 28-year-old Brigitte Lin is not as dirty as those old ladies in their forties and fifties, and she still has her own bottom line.
So no matter how much Hu Yinmeng questioned and hinted at her, Brigitte Lin refused to admit it.
Even though she was not good at lying and disguising, and even though the other party had probably guessed it, as long as she didn't admit it, she could still wear the mask of a "good woman".
Actually, Hu Yinmeng didn't have any bad intentions, she was just gossiping and curious.
In her opinion, although her best friend Brigitte Lin looks weak on the outside, she is actually very strong-willed and has her own standards and requirements for choosing men.
As far as she knew, there were many rich young men pursuing Lin Qingxia, but she looked down on those playboys and dandy boys.
At the beginning, Brigitte Lin fell in love with a married man who already had a wife. In Hu Yinmeng's opinion, was this a big deal?
She has always scoffed at the criticism and attacks from her best friend on the island.
Moreover, Lin Qingxia's approach of fighting against secular concepts made Hu Yinmeng feel that she was a like-minded person.
Although Brigitte Lin later took the initiative to withdraw from the triangle relationship, it was not because she did not insist, but because Qin Han, the scumbag, was irresponsible.
As for marrying Qin Xianglin, a playboy, Hu Yinmeng was not optimistic about it at first, but she did not deliberately persuade her best friend to give up.
In Hu Yinmeng's outlook on life, trying, experiencing, or playing with life is more important than whether the results are right or wrong.
In a word, Hu Yinmeng was very interested in the third party who made a beautiful woman like Lin Qingxia who insisted on her own ideas fall in love again and cheat on her.
Seeing that she couldn't get her best friend to talk no matter what she did, Hu Yinmeng was increasingly fed up with curiosity and gossip.
So she decided to adopt a roundabout strategy.
Since the other party was determined not to tell her, Hu Yinmeng simply changed the subject.
Instead, she chatted with Brigitte Lin about some good and rewarding books she had read recently, or some good cosmetics brands she had discovered, and even gossip about other friends was told by her in vivid detail.
The more they talked, the more excited they became, and as they got more excited, they drank more and more.
They drank in the bar from around seven in the evening until almost ten. Many customers had left, but the two of them were still sitting in the corner chatting.
As mentioned earlier, Brigitte Lin’s alcohol tolerance is actually quite good, but compared to Hu Yinmeng, who often frequents bars and nightclubs, she is still a few levels lower.
When Miss Lin's fair skin full of collagen had turned red, her speech was incoherent, and her beautiful eyes were dazed, Hu Yinmeng was still wide awake.
She paid the bill, asked the bar waiter to help call a taxi, and then with the help of the waiter, she helped Brigitte Lin get into the car and found a hotel nearby.
The next step was simple. The best friends checked into a hotel together, and then Hu Yinmeng extracted the truth from the half-asleep, half-awake Lin Qingxia in bed.
Although she had long guessed that the man who won over her best friend might not be an ordinary person, she really never thought that the other party would be Hong Kong's richest man, Fang Hexuan.
Hu Yinmeng certainly knew about this person. Although the official media of the island considered it politically correct to smear him, some opposition parties on the island would also describe Fang Hexuan positively on underground radio stations and some non-public magazines and newspapers.
At least, it is true that he became famous at a young age, is handsome and rich, and is keen on charity. As for other claims that he has close ties with social organizations and the mainland, Hu Yinmeng automatically ignores them. Some female writers or editors on the island even call Fang Hexuan "the pride of the Chinese" or "the most handsome man in the Chinese world."
Of course, Hu Yinmeng scoffed at these exaggerated and shameless flattery, but she had to admit that Fang Hexuan, who suddenly appeared, was indeed very outstanding and full of masculine charm.
For a moment, she suddenly felt envious and jealous of her best friend's situation.
Let’s not talk about how good Fang Hexuan is in bed. At the very least, he is 22 years old, tall, good-looking and wealthy. You, Brigitte Lin, a married woman six years older than him, slept with him. It’s obvious that you are taking advantage of him.
With these messy thoughts occupying her mind, she turned her head to see Brigitte Lin on the other bed snoring softly. She rolled her eyes, and there seemed to be an inexplicable feeling of resentment gathering in her chest.
The next morning, Brigitte Lin woke up from her sleep feeling a tightness in her throat and her head was still a little dizzy. She looked around and found Hu Yinmeng in the other bed, and she felt relieved.
I got out of bed quietly and poured myself a full glass of water. Only after drinking it did I feel a little relieved from my thirst and discomfort.
She looked at her watch. It was almost eight o'clock. She had to go to the crew as usual today, so she had to leave her best friend alone in the hotel.
Leaving a note on the table, Brigitte Lin picked up her bag and left the room.
The moment the door closed, Hu Yinmeng, who had been sleeping soundly, immediately opened her eyes, with a sly smile on the corner of her mouth.

A little after nine in the morning, Global Building.
Fang Hexuan held the financial report in his hand and said to his assistant as he read it:
"Go and urge the Pokémon down there to submit the October data as soon as possible."
The pretty and delicately dressed female assistant responded in a professional manner:
"Okay, Mr. Fang."
Before Fang Hexuan could say anything else, the phone on the table rang. Fang Hexuan picked it up, listened for a few seconds, and then said:
"Please come in and bring a cup of coffee."
After hanging up the phone, he looked up and nodded to the female assistant at the desk:
"Okay, that's all, go get busy."
As soon as the female assistant walked out of the office, another female assistant came in with a very bright and beautiful woman.
Fang Hexuan stood up, stroked his suit, then walked around the desk to the reception area and said to the visitor with a smile:
"Ms. Hu Yinmeng, please take a seat!"
Hu Yinmeng was not nervous at all. On the contrary, she boldly observed Fang Hexuan. The look in her eyes made the latter feel a little puzzled.
After looking at him for more than a minute, Hu Yinmeng smiled and stretched out her hand and replied:
"Hello, Mr. Fang, I'm Hu Yinmeng, nice to meet you."
Fang Hexuan was stunned when he saw the other party's outstretched white hand, then he came to his senses and shook hands with her:
"It's my first time meeting Miss Hu. I'm also very happy. Please take a seat."
