Chu Mu's words shook the office into silence.

The rude Boss Chu stood up, smoked a cigarette and left the scene with a sneer.

Seeing that the situation was difficult to deal with, Sarah quickly chased her out.

Zhong Ying was about to follow, but was caught by Fan Chengyun.

His brows were full of worry, and he let go and patted Zhong Ying's shoulder.

"Although Chu Mu is a descendant of Mr. Chu, he grew up in Austria, and the customs and customs he accepted are completely different from ours. He is naturally unhappy when you suddenly say that the pipa is a Chinese cultural relic."

Chinese, Chinese, and Chinese are all similar in the eyes of foreigners. Fan Chengyun has traveled all over the world, but he understands the barriers.

Zhong Ying stood on the standpoint of China, and it was only natural to say those words, but to Chu Mu, it was another kind of provocation and offense against private property.

"In the final analysis, Mulan Pipa is indeed the property left by Mr. Chu and Ms. Zheng to their siblings."

Fan Chengyun sighed, "I know you are sad for Mr. Chu's death, and I want Chu Mu to understand Mr. Chu's feelings, but he is an Austrian after all."

After Zhong Ying finished listening, his heart was filled with melancholy and coldness.

"But Boss Chu knows poetry and pipa, so... I thought he also knew China."

The China that has gone through the flames of war, the China that has gone through pain relief, and the China that is independent from the world, always care about all the blood that has been left behind.

Whether it is a wanderer far away from her homeland or a musical instrument that has been robbed, it is her concern.

As long as Chu Mu understands China, he should understand——

It is not only the wish of the Yiyin Yashe, but also the wish of every Chinese, for the lost musical instruments and the lost old people to be able to go home and reunite in a peaceful and prosperous age.

Chu Mu's words and deeds did not have the demeanor of Chu Shuming and Zheng Wanqing back then.

Zhong Ying felt deeply regretful, but he couldn't give up just yet.

He said to his master, "I want to talk to Boss Chu again..."

"It's useless."

Fan Chengyun is familiar with Zhong Ying's stubbornness and sobriety.

My apprentice always uses music to judge a person's character.

However, he often forgets that most people will choose to hide their true selves and face outsiders with the appearance they want to show others.

"Boss Chu's heart knot is on Mulan Pipa, the more you talk to him, the more indifferent he will be."

When Chu Mu left the field, he was obviously full of resentment and anger.

Zhong Ying is so forthright and frank, it is inevitable to run into a setback.

Fan Chengyun knew that Zhong Ying was eager to find the pipa, not only for the sake of leaving Yin Yashe, but also for Chu Shuming, who died young.

However, he would rather do this matter slowly than to be angry with outsiders because of his cute and innocent apprentice.

"If we can't untie his knot, we can't untie his stubbornness. No matter how you understand his thoughts, he won't admit it."

He put his hands behind his back and sighed, "Let's find a way to find out about the situation from Chu Mu's sister."

Zhong Ying thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Master, do you feel that Chu Mu said that he wanted to burn the pipa, where did he hear it?"

Such ruthless words that piss off musicians to death are indeed very familiar.

Fan Chengyun's eyes lit up, "...Fliss?"

The big businessman who once used the threat of "I want to dismantle the pipa" to successfully appear on the Vienna Music Newspaper immediately laughed out loud when he received a call from Zhong Ying!

"Finally someone suffered the same torture as me."

"Yes, that's right, I learned from Chu Mu to threaten you with dismantling the pipa. It's quite effective, isn't it?"

"That's why I said, whether you want to see Chu Huai or Chu Mu, it's a waste of time!"

Ferris took the opportunity to prove his brilliance.

"One of them can't communicate, and the other is annoying!"

His complaints fell heavily on Chu Mu. Zhong Ying held the phone and felt Chu Mu's indifference in all directions.

After Fries discovered that the owner of Stamen Pipa could not communicate, he went straight to Chu Mu.

It was fine at first, but when he mentioned that the pistil lute on the wall was good and wanted to spend money to buy it, Chu Mu became joking and mocking.

"He actually said, you are a foreigner, what kind of pipa do you want to buy? You might as well buy a piece of rosewood to mend the gilt drawers in your house."

Fliss was so worried that he even used it freely to threaten the conversation between Zhong Ying and Fan Chengyun.

At this time, he didn't feel that he was going too far, he just focused on berating Chu Mu and looking for someone to judge.

"Did you say he is super annoying!"

"He does hate..."

Zhong Ying quickly agreed and took the opportunity to ask:

"Mr. Fliss, we want Chu Huai's address!"

Ferris managed to catch such a knowledgeable and interesting friend as Zhong Ying, but he was blocked by his sudden request and couldn't continue to sue Chu Mu.

I could only silently report the address.

Still unconvinced, he added: "Give up, you will only make a trip in vain!"

Even with the merchant's advice, Zhong Ying and Fan Chengyun still found the quiet and simple building early the next morning.

An old apartment located in the downtown area, with a long history.

They pressed the doorbell and waited quietly for the owner to open the door.

However, after waiting for a long time, all I could hear was the monotonous ringing of the doorbell.

"Should we call first..."

Before Zhong Ying finished speaking, the door clicked and opened.

"Xiaomu? Are you back?"

Gentle Chinese with sleepy surprises.

A woman with vicissitudes of life opened the door for them.

She was dressed in comfortable house clothes, with thinning hair and a pale face.

A pair of eyes are blank and dull, with a heavy sickness, and the skin is rough and dry.

She realized that the person knocking on the door was not the one she thought, and immediately switched to German, "Who are you?"

Before Zhong Ying could answer, hurried footsteps came from upstairs.

"Chu Huai, why are you up?"

Zhong Ying knew the man who ran down in a panic.

It was Godroy, who had a big fight with Chu Mu at the Chu Musical Instrument Shop, which impressed Zhong Ying deeply.

Godreau was unshaven and had troubled eyes.

He didn't seem used to getting up so early, he was in his pajamas and his hair was a mess.

But he didn't care much, he grabbed Chu Huai's shoulder anxiously, and really didn't have time to greet Zhong Ying and Fan Chengyun outside the door.

"Honey, do you have a headache? Let's take the medicine first."

Chu Huai's attention fell on him, and he said sadly: "I had a quarrel with Xiaomu last night, and he hasn't come back now, so he must still be angry with me."

Her voice was low, without the joy just now, her words became slow.

Godero squeezed out a smile and said easily: "Let him be angry, he is just a child. He will come back after running out to play for two days, and he has to go to school on Monday."

His words were perfunctory with sincerity, and he half-coaxed and half-forced Chu Huai to go upstairs.

Zhong Ying and Fan Chengyun outside the door looked at each other with similar confusion in their eyes.

Chu Munian was nearly thirty, and he didn't look like a child who needed to go to school.

However, Chu Huai did not refute such a strange answer, and Godroy took it for granted.

They waited outside the door for a long time before Godroy hurried out.

"who are you!"

He lowered his voice, lest he disturb his wife upstairs, "What are you doing knocking on the door early in the morning!"

Zhong Ying said directly, "Mr. Godello, we are here to visit Ms. Chu Huai."

He called his name directly, causing Godello to wake up instantly.

"You know me?" Godroy looked at him with a surprised expression, making sure he had never seen such black hair and black eyes.

Zhong Ying smiled politely, and replied ambiguously: "We are friends of Boss Chu Muchu."

Godroy stared happily, "Since you call them Chu Huai and Chu Mu, they are indeed their friends."

This slovenly Austrian is much more polite than Chu Mu.

Not only did he not get angry, but he warmly invited them in.

The home of Godroy and Chu Huai is neat and tidy.

In such a large apartment, it was neatly tidied up, and there were fresh bouquets in the entrance hall, unlike the warm appearance that a careless man like Godroy could arrange.

Zhong Ying and Master went to the living room and found the big TV that had been eliminated long ago.

Although this apartment is spacious, the furniture and carpets inside are too old and must have been used for many years.

Godero greeted them to sit down, and said, "It would be great if Chu Mu would like to have a good talk with us. Please sit down, and I will pour water for you."

He happily walked into the kitchen, looking for a water glass.

Zhong Ying looked at the old apartment curiously, and suddenly, he found the figure of Mulan Pipa in the photo frame next to the TV.

The stamen pipa was held in Chu Mu's arms horizontally, while the pistil pipa was played vertically by Chu Huai, very much like the postures of Chu Shuming and Zheng Wanqing back then.

Even the bright smiles on their faces reveal a joy that cannot be erased by still photos.

Looking at their status in this photo, we know that it was taken a long time ago.After all, Chu Huai and Chu Mu in the photo are too young.

Chu Huai and Chu Mu looked very similar when they were young.

The two siblings have the same deep eye sockets, high nose bridges, and the same parents. They even look and smile at each other in the photos, they are exactly the same.

It's a pity that now the siblings have turned against each other and do not want to see each other again.

"Master, look." Zhong Ying was about to take the photo and asked Master to take a look.

Fan Chengyun took the photo and carefully looked at the pipa in the hands of the two siblings.

Godello brought two glasses of water with a friendly and gentle smile.

"Sorry, Chu Huai has a headache when he wakes up. There is no other way but to take medicine and sleep."

His eyes and tone were full of anticipation, eager to chat with Zhong Ying and the others about serious matters.

"Are you here to see her for Chu Mu? To check if she is really as pitiful as the medical record?"

"Yes."

Fan Chengyun put down the photo, followed his inquiry, admitted in good faith, and did not intend to tell the truth.

Like a senior legal elite, he said rigidly: "Boss Chu wants to know more about Chu Huai's symptoms in order to consider withdrawing the court proceedings."

Zhong Ying translated the master's words. Godroy's eyes lit up when he heard the withdrawal of the lawsuit, as if he saw 1000 million euros immediately.

"No problem, I will tell you Chu Huai's condition in detail, and I hope you will tell Chu Mu in detail."

His tone was excited, "This bastard has never believed what I said, and he didn't dare to come and see it with his own eyes. He is so stupid!"

With a channel to confide, Godreau's narration becomes more detailed.

Chu Huai is 42 years old and her German name is Gretel.She used to be a music teacher at school, but she had a car accident three years ago.I thought I was cured, but I didn't expect that the old disease relapsed half a year ago, which not only affected my work, but also affected my normal life.

Because of her illness, it was in the brain.

The blood clot left by the car accident did not dissipate for a long time, and even a brain tumor was detected during the follow-up examination.

The illness Godroy described was mixed with professional German.

Zhong Ying hadn't learned related vocabulary, but fortunately, Fries gave them a detailed information about Chu Huai.

Judging from the diagnosis made by the doctor, Chu Huai is indeed in urgent need of treatment.

But problems in the brain have always been intractable diseases around the world. Because of the blood clots oppressing the nerves, she has intermittently suffered from memory loss and lethargy symptoms, and the brain tumor has made things worse.

The disease written in words, in Godreau's words, has become a tormented disaster.

Godreau said she thought she was 23 and had just married me.

Godello said that Chu Mu was not at home because they had a quarrel last night and were so angry that they ran away overnight.

Godello said that every day that Chu Huai spends is a weekend, because only on weekends, parents will leave home to enjoy the two-person world.

The bits and pieces in life pieced together the state of Chu Huai.

Memory confusion is accompanied by severe headaches.

Only after taking painkillers, Chu Huai could sleep peacefully for a while.

But when she wakes up, she will sit on the bed in a daze again, shed tears suddenly, and tell Godello: Mom has passed away.

The gentleman couldn't hide his sadness when he said this.

He said: "Actually, I would rather she live in her teens and twenties to relive our love and happiness."

"Instead of really waking up and finding out that I lost my mother, and even my younger brother has become a wolf!"

Zhong Ying's heart was cold when he heard that.

He asked worriedly: "Could it be that there is no way to cure her illness?"

"It's hard." Godroy looked painful, with calculations and hesitation hidden in his eyes, "If, I say if, I can raise enough money, maybe the doctors will come up with a better treatment for her."

When money was mentioned, the whole chat atmosphere became heavy and weird.

As soon as Zhong Ying met the master's eyes, he knew that there was something in Godello's words.

Sure enough, Godroy immediately wept and howled in pain, "I know Chu Mu doesn't like me, he thinks I'm not a good person, and he thinks I'm selling the pipa just for money. But..."

"I have known Chu Huai for almost 30 years. I love her more than life. I just want to heal her!"

He said it touchingly, from the heart.

But Zhong Ying understood what Fries said——

They couldn't get any desired information from Chu Huai.

Because the poor lady didn't know that the stamen pipa was sent to the auction house by her husband.

When she wakes up, she always wonders why Xiaomu hasn't come home yet. She only remembers that her parents like to go out on weekends.

She lives forever in family harmony at 23.

Zhong Ying stared at Godello.

From his every word, you can feel his love for Chu Huai.

If it weren't for love, no one would be willing to take care of such a troublesome patient, let alone give up the easy-to-talk German name "Gretel" and call his wife's awkward Chinese name "Chu Huai".

However, Zhong Ying still wants to ask one thing clearly.

"Mr. Godello, the first time I met you was at the door of Boss Chu's musical instrument shop."

He looked directly at Godroy, looking at how sincere this affectionate and righteous husband was.

"At that time, Boss Chu said that you liked to gamble and owed a lot of debt."

Godello's eyes were straightened, and his face was extremely ugly.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!"

"Okay, I won't listen to his nonsense."

Zhong Ying was cautious and persistent, a faint suspicion arose in his heart, "Then tell me honestly——"

"How much gambling debt do you owe?"
