"Mom, grandpa asked dad to sign the letter of guarantee to protect your interests. How can you give it to dad for safekeeping?"

Pei Yi's expression was slightly anxious, and her tone was full of helplessness.

She never expected that Pei Xuan would put such an important thing with Zhou Ruguang.

The daylight was dim and reflected layer upon layer through the windows, covering the empty piano room in the lonely sunset.

When Pei Xuan heard her daughter's words, her expression couldn't help but change.

After marrying Zhou Ruguang, the focus of her life gradually shifted to the family. She handed over the property that belonged to her to her husband for free control. Not only that, but also gave birth to two sons and a daughter for him.

Her husband has a successful career, her children are sensible and excellent, and her family is so happy, she doesn't think Zhou Ruguang has any reason to betray her.

In front of her daughter, she still chooses to maintain her husband's image.

"I trust your father, he won't do anything wrong to me."

"Why do you suddenly have such a big opinion of your father?"

"Did someone tell you something? Or did you see something?"

"Without substantive evidence, I won't doubt your father casually."

The relationship between husband and wife for many years is naturally not something that can be shaken by a few words from others.

Even if this person is her daughter.

Pei Yi couldn't tell about Ning Rou's affairs, and she didn't dare to be 100% sure that Ning Rou's mother was still alive, so after thinking about it, she had to find a reason to get by.

"I just think Dad is getting less and less fond of coming home."

"His work is busy. Isn't he so busy that he can't even take care of his family?"

"I have been in the piano room for so long, but he never came to see me once. Every time he contacts me, he only cares about the progress of my piano practice, and never asks about my physical condition."

"When he was abroad, he was obviously not like this."

It turned out that it was for this reason.

Pei Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her daughter had misunderstood her husband before she uttered the questioning words just now.

"Your father's project is about to come to fruition, so he's been busy recently."

"Don't blame him. He actually cares about you very much. He will go home for dinner tonight. You go back with your mother, okay?"

"Mom will tell him about your illness, and he won't blame you."

Pei Yi lowered her eyes, her eyes were slightly red, and there was a little grievance in her gray pupils.

"I do not want to go home."

"When I returned home this time, my father put a lot of pressure on me."

"The doctor said that this may be the reason why my hands are like this."

As soon as she finished speaking, she released her tightly clenched fist, revealing ten slender fingers as white as jade.

The beautiful and perfect pair of hands used to be able to play all kinds of difficult songs, but now they are trembling uncontrollably.

Pei Xuan looked sad.

She stretched out her hand and held her daughter's hand tightly until the trembling in her palm disappeared, then she sighed distressedly and solemnly gave a promise.

"Don't worry, I'll tell your father about the concert."

"Heal your illness with peace of mind first, and don't touch the piano for the next period of time."

"In my mother's heart, nothing is more important than your health."

Things developed exactly as expected.

Pei Yi couldn't bear to hurt Pei Xuan, but she had to guide Pei Xuan to tear off Zhou Ruguang's disguise bit by bit.

For the first performance in China, Zhou Ruguang invited six so-called 'friends' to participate.

And these six people, without exception, all came from the Haishi business district.

No matter how good Zhou Ruguang is, his job is still a doctor.

How could a doctor get involved with people in the business world?

The only explanation is that there are interests between the two parties.

Pei Yi knew in her heart that these six people were not so much Zhou Ruguang's 'friends' as Zhou Ruguang's objects to cling to.

Her recital, and even herself, were Zhou Ruguang's bargaining chips to curry favor with these people.

Cancellation of the concert means no appointment.

Can Zhou Ruguang accept it?

The answer is obviously no.

Pei Li stayed in the company to work overtime and did not go home for dinner.

At seven o'clock in the evening, there were only three people sitting at the Pei family's dinner table.

The atmosphere in the dining room was warm, and as soon as the dishes were served, Zhou Ruguang began to ask questions as usual.

"How's the repertoire for the recital going?"

"Have you chosen your dress yet?"

"If you don't choose well, stay at home tonight and let your mother choose for you."

Pei Yi froze when she heard the sound, the chopsticks in her hand loosened and fell directly to the ground.

There was a slight ding-dong sound in the air, and the atmosphere became inexplicably dignified.

Zhou Ruguang raised his head and reached out to support the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

In middle age, his face already has signs of aging left by the years, but the gentle temperament exuding from his eyebrows and eyes is still very attractive.

Such a gentle and respected man secretly used his ex-wife to experiment with drugs and imprisoned his own daughter for 24 years.

Pei Yi just glanced at her father, and a chill came out of her heart.

Her two hands trembled unconsciously.

Even the bowl can no longer be held.

With such an obvious abnormality, Zhou Ruguang immediately noticed something was wrong.

He put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, the gentleness on his face disappeared, and was quickly replaced by a faint gloomy color.

"What happened to the hand?"

Dissatisfaction could be vaguely heard in the stern tone.

Pei Xuan frowned, suddenly feeling uneasy.

Her husband has a mild temper. Why is his attitude towards his daughter so different this time from before?

"Don't be so cruel to her."

"She is sick, and she wants to tell you about it when she goes home tonight."

Pei Yi lowered her head, and immediately put her hands back on her knees.

She was showing weakness, showing weakness in front of Pei Xuan.

She wanted to use her illness to show Pei Xuan whether Zhou Ruguang was a good father or not.

In just a short moment between breathing, her eyes turned red.

When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with tears.

"Dad, I'm sorry."

"My hands have been unable to play the piano since ten days ago."

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, so I haven't dared to tell you."

A voice full of guilt, which parent would not be uncomfortable hearing it?

Pei Xuan's eyes were also red.

She turned her head and looked at her husband. Before she mentioned the cancellation of the concert, she saw a flash of anger in those deep gray eyes.

This was completely different from what she had imagined.

"what is the problem?"

Pei Yi blinked, and tears fell down.

She stood up, went back to the sofa, opened her bag, and took out the psychological evaluation book prepared in advance.

The document was of course forged, but thanks to Xu Xian's help, she successfully persuaded Qiu Yu to hide the real reason for her illness from Zhou Ruguang.

"The doctor said that it was because of too much pressure. I resisted everything related to the piano, and I couldn't control my hands."

high pressure?How big can it be?

Isn't it just a show?

Zhou Ruguang did not believe this argument.

He took the paper and read it again. The result of the evaluation was no different from what Pei Yi said.

Scanning the last line, he saw a familiar name—Qiu Yu.

In an instant, his face changed.

Qiu Yu is the director of the Psychology Department of Haida Medical College and a well-known psychiatrist in the country. If this report really came from her, it means that Pei Yi's words are true.

Of course, just a piece of paper cannot convince him.

But he didn't say anything.

He is still faking it.

"In this case, stay at home and rest, don't go to the piano room."

This response is much more normal.

Pei Xuan felt relieved.

"It's better to cancel the concert at the end of the month."

"The media, I'll go say hello."

Zhou Ruguang put away the evaluation book, and gave an ambiguous answer to his wife's request.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, I will arrange it."

Pei Xuan nodded and didn't think any more.

After dinner, Zhou Ruguang went to the study on the third floor alone.

Pei Xuan and Pei Yi sat on the sofa on the first floor and talked.

"Look, your father cares about you so much, how can he blame you?"

Pei Xuan could tell that there seemed to be some kind of grudge between her husband and daughter.

In order to maintain family harmony, she had to act as an intermediary to mend the relationship between father and daughter.

Pei Yi's eyelids drooped slightly, she was silent for a while before responding.

"Mom, I don't think Dad is going to cancel the recital."

Pei Xuan was stunned, wondering how her daughter came up with this guess.

But after thinking about it, when I said I would cancel the concert, my husband really didn't give a clear answer.

She wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Until lying on the bed, she was still confused by her daughter's words.

At eleven o'clock, Zhou Ruguang returned to the master bedroom from the third floor to sleep.

He took his pajamas and went to the bathroom, leaving his phone on the table.

Pei Xuan has always respected her husband's privacy and never had the habit of checking her phone, but this time for her daughter, she secretly unlocked the password lock of the screen while her husband was taking a bath.

The password to open the screen is her birthday.

Over the years, all of Zhou Ruguang's passwords are this string of numbers.

This relieved her heart a little.

She didn't check anything else, just looked at her husband's call log.

There are five calls after seven o'clock.

The first one was for Qiu Yu.

The next four are the other four names.

Pei Xuan took out her mobile phone and searched for the identities of the four people on the web. She didn't know if she didn't check, but she was shocked when she checked. These four people are also psychologists, and they are good at different directions.

She put her husband's cell phone back where it was, and panicked for no reason.

Zhou Ruguang called Qiu Yu, but she still understood, probably to understand Pei Yi's condition.

But why contact four other doctors?

Do you believe Qiu Yu?Still don't believe Pei Yi?

Or, do you want to heal Pei Yi's hand as soon as possible so that the concert can be held as scheduled?

Pei Xuan sat back on the bed again, clutching the phone tightly in her hand.

She didn't sleep well that night after all.

As she guessed, Zhou Ruguang took Pei Yi out early the next morning.

She wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zhou Ruguang.

They didn't go home until five o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhou Ruguang seemed to be in a good mood, and when he entered the door, he had a relaxed smile on his face.

As for Pei Yi, her cheeks looked a little pale.

"Today, I found a psychologist again. He has a way to help patients overcome psychological pressure."

"The concert can be held as scheduled."

That's a good thing to hear.

But it also coincided with Pei Yi's guess last night.

Pei Xuan pursed her lips, feeling more and more uneasy in her heart.

She looked at Pei Yi who had been silent all this time, and asked softly.

"Is that right?"

Pei Yi raised her eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but this smile was a bit forced no matter how you looked at it.

"Well, the doctor said you can continue to play the piano."

The father and daughter said the same thing, so it was not easy for Pei Xuan to ask more questions.

Zhou Ruguang didn't go to work all day because he took Pei Yi to see a doctor.

After dinner in the evening, he went to the hospital.

At home, only Pei Xuan and Pei Yi were left.

Pei Xuan always felt that something was wrong. She had read the report issued by Qiu Yu, and it clearly stated that she should not touch things that would cause stress in a short period of time, otherwise her condition would be aggravated.

How did one day pass, a different doctor, and a different rhetoric?

She couldn't figure it out, hesitated for a long time, and knocked on her daughter's door.

Pei Yi in the room was also waiting for her to come over.

With Zhou Ruguang away, he no longer has any scruples about speaking.

Pei Yi's face was very pale, with pain and entanglement hidden in her eyes.

Facing Pei Xuan's confusion, she didn't say anything, but played two recordings.

The first paragraph is a conversation between Zhou Ruguang and a psychiatrist; the other paragraph is a conversation between Zhou Ruguang and her.

It turns out that the so-called overcoming psychological pressure refers to going to the hospital for a psychological diagnosis and treatment the day before performing on stage, so that people are temporarily in a relaxed state, and then use the inertial memory of the repertoire with both hands to complete this task. a concert.

It's just that once the performance is over, it means falling into deeper pain.

Pei Xuan couldn't believe her ears. Before she recovered from the shock, Pei Yi turned on the second recording.

It was still Zhou Ruguang's voice.

What she said was also what she had heard countless times at home——

It's nothing more than praising Pei Yi's excellence since she was a child, and how much pride she has brought to herself. I hope Pei Yi can persevere this time and make the concert a success.

"In Dad's eyes, you have always been the best, don't let Dad down."

"By the way, don't tell your mother about this."

At this point, the recording stopped abruptly.

This is the true face of Zhou Ruguang's love for his daughter.

Pei Xuan couldn't believe it.

But the facts were before his eyes, the five phone calls Zhou Ruguang made in the study last night also proved the truth of what he said just now.

She couldn't help but believe it.

She felt that she was being cheated, but didn't know what the problem was.

Xu Shi couldn't bear the huge change of her husband. She didn't even dare to look at her daughter, so she turned around in a hurry and fled the room.

Pei Yi held the recording pen in her hand, and the corners of her lips moved slightly.

She looked at the direction in which Pei Xuan disappeared, struggled for a few seconds, and quickly chased after her.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Pei Xuan returned to the bedroom, feeling restless.

She is just a little woman who loves her husband and daughter. Her life goes smoothly and she rarely encounters setbacks.

She has never tasted the taste of being deceived, let alone being deceived by a close relative.

She didn't know how to deal with the current situation, should she speak up with her husband?Or pretend to be kept in the dark?

Just at the time of uneasiness, Pei Yi opened the door and walked in.

"Mom, are you okay?"

good?How can it be so good?

Pei Xuan didn't dare to face her daughter, and walked to the window, still keeping silent.

Pei Yi quietly followed.

"Perhaps, what Dad said is not wrong, and this matter should not be said."

These words made Pei Xuan blame herself.

"Don't tell me, do you really want to use that method to complete the concert?"

"If you do this, you will not only hurt yourself, but also make your mother feel bad."

"When your father comes back tonight, I will have a good talk with him."

Hearing these words, Pei Yi shook her head slightly.

"Mom, I'll tell Dad myself."

"Tell him, didn't he find that I told you about it against his will?"

"I'm afraid that my relationship with him will get worse by then."

Pei Xuan knew that Pei Yi's words were reasonable, but she still sighed heavily.

Before she could respond, her hands were firmly held by two trembling hands.

Immediately afterwards, what sounded in my ears was also a caring word.

"Mom, I don't want you to be wary of Dad, but I want you to think more about yourself."

"The family property is left to you by your grandfather. You have the responsibility to protect it and prevent it from falling into the hands of outsiders."

"That bond, you know where Dad keeps it, don't you?"

Guarantee--

Pei Xuan's heart tightened, her expression froze, and she recovered after half a second.

She does know.

This letter of guarantee was originally kept by her father, and after the old man passed away, it came into her hands.

At that time, she was pregnant with her first child, and her relationship with Zhou Ruguang was sweet. After being coaxed during the pregnancy, she handed over the letter of guarantee.

It's not like she didn't have any scheming.

Although the letter of guarantee was given to Zhou Ruguang, it had to be kept under her nose.

If I remember correctly, that piece of paper should be in the safe in the corner of the room.

The safe in the house is upgraded every three years.

Now this one, requires a fingerprint to unlock.

Otherwise, you can only ask professionals to pick the lock.

The next morning, Zhou Ruguang still went to work early.

An hour later, Pei Yi also went to the hospital.

At home, only Pei Xuan was left.

The employees of the unlocking company will be here soon.

Since it is the most advanced fingerprint lock on the market, the process of unlocking is much more cumbersome and complicated, and it takes a long time.

Pei Yi was afraid that Zhou Ruguang would come home suddenly, so when she knocked on the office door, her eyes were still red.

Unexpectedly, the person who opened the door was Xu Xian.

Pei Yi was stunned for a second, and quickly realized that she walked in without saying anything.

"Father, can you accompany me to see Dr. Xu again?"

"I don't think his approach will work."

It was about the concert, Zhou Ruguang dared not neglect it.

Without thinking too much, he nodded in agreement.

"There are some things to explain about the operation in the afternoon, you wait here for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he got up from his seat, and before going out, he handed the stack of documents on the table to Xu Xian.

"The teacher will come back at night, you don't have to go to the laboratory anymore."

In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the room.

Xu Xian looked at Pei Yi, staring at those flushed eyes, subconsciously, she took a step forward, and it wasn't until the two stood face to face that she mustered up her courage and carefully said a word of concern.

"Are you uncomfortable?"

"Why do you need to go to the doctor again?"

She was still wearing the familiar white coat, and her hair was tied into a ponytail hanging behind her shoulders. It was rare that she even put on light makeup and lipstick today.

Pei Yi's eyes swept across Xu Xian's face, but she didn't answer the other party's question.

"After work, do you have a date?"

"Next time you change the lipstick to bean paste color, it will suit you better."

Just a few words lightly made Xu Xian blush.

"No."

"I'm going to take work photos later, so I put on makeup."

It turned out to be to take pictures.

Only then did Pei Yi bend her lips.

Her acting was so good that even she herself didn't know if the smile was real or fake.

"That means it hasn't been filmed yet."

"Since it's not a date, there's no need to wait for the next time."

She lowered her head, opened her bag, picked out a light-colored lipstick from a pile of brand-name lipsticks, and stuffed it directly into Xu Xian's hand.

"Give it to you."

"Just thank you for taking me to Haida to find Dr. Qiu."

"However, it should not be used in the future."

"The concert cannot be cancelled, and my father introduced me to a new psychiatrist."

"I think, in the next period of time, I will still work hard to practice the piano."

Want to practice piano?

Xu Xian knew exactly how serious Pei Yi's condition was.

Surprised by Zhou Ruguang's decision, she even ignored the lipstick in her hand.

"Director Qiu said that you can no longer play the piano."

Her tone, surprised and puzzled, listened carefully, but also mixed with traces of worry.

Pei Yi could tell that she really cared about herself.

"It's not up to me to play the piano or not."

"I'll do what Dad needs me to do."

The calm and natural tone, the words spoken, but so pitiful.

Xu Xian couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

She wanted to do something, but couldn't.

Zhou Ruguang is her teacher, and Pei Yi and her are at most just friends.

She has no right to interfere in other people's family affairs.

For no reason, her heart fell into depression.

She looked at the woman in a white dress in front of her, and couldn't help but speak her mind.

"If you need my help, you can always find me."

Pei Yi pursed her lips, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, apparently she did not expect Xu Xian to say that.

She felt more and more that the other party was innocent.

He is a smart person completely different from Luozhen.

The corners of her lips were raised slightly, her tone was much gentler, and her words still made people feel pitiful.

"Thank you."

"My life is messed up by me."

"I think I'd be happy if you'd share some more good news with me."

good news?

Xu Xian opened her eyes. She remembers correctly, the last time she shared good news with Pei Yi was when the research on the pregnancy membrane made progress.

She lowered her head and looked at the stack of documents in her hand.

Among them, there are a total of [-] virtual simulation cases, which are simulated data generated by foreign institutions cooperated with the hospital based on the information of progesterone.

Pei Yi wants good news, and the biggest good news is the last item of the experiment——

Eliminate the effects of progesterone?

Without any hesitation, she nodded.

"it is good."

The author has something to say: Just call everyone a scumbag, other people are also deceived
