Chapter 459: Chapter 458: Xiaomama sees her playing the piano

Shao Yunxuan grew more and more terrified as she watched, her anxiety mounting with each moment.

The only thought in her mind was that if Chu Kong saw this video, she could forget about ever becoming his disciple in this lifetime.

Even more so, she might be blacklisted and never step into the piano circle again.

The recently elated Shao Yunxuan, who thought she had been hit by a stroke of luck, now could only think of one thing: to keep lying.

She had to cover this up, to lie until the very end!

As long as she could last until Chu Kong died, all of this would be over…

Desperation breeds courage.

After a minute of struggle and panic, Shao Yunxuan calmed down and directly sent the video to herself.

Then she meticulously deleted the message containing the video from Chu Kuo to Chu Kong.

There were no chat records in their conversation anyway, so it didn’t matter if she deleted it.

However…

To make Chu Kong give up all hope, she went all in and sneakily selected a video from her phone and sent it to Chu Kong.

It was a video she had recorded of another student playing the piano at school, where she had deliberately chosen a piece played quite ordinarily, at least worse than her own skills.

Only after doing all of this did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, she erased all the remaining suspicious traces from Chu Kong’s phone.

Only then did she allow herself a slight smile, finally at ease.

Chu Kong didn’t have much time left, and he wasn’t in the state of mind to scrutinize others.

She could continue his musical dreams in the guise of being Chu Kong’s disciple, there was no difference!

From this point on, Shao Yunxuan carried herself with more confidence.

——

After Chu Kong had finished his check-up, he returned to his ward looking even paler than before, listless and feeble.

Shao Yunxuan acted as if nothing had happened and brought the phone over to him.

“Mr.

Chu, you left your phone in the ward.

I saw that Mr.

Chu Kuo sent you a video, and thinking it might be inconvenient for you, I went ahead and downloaded it,” she said respectfully as she handed the phone to him.

This gesture, indeed, made Chu Kong feel a bit guilty.

“But Mr.

Chu, your phone was very laggy and showed that the memory was full, so I cleared the cache for you.

Can you check if you can watch the video now?”

Chu Kong knew his phone often lagged and ran out of memory, so he didn’t find anything unusual.

He was somewhat eager to see the video that Chu Kuo had sent.

It was, after all, recommended by his brother, so there was no harm in taking a look.

However, after opening the video, it took less than half a minute for him to appear utterly exhausted.

His brother’s recommendation…

was far from meeting his standards, this performance was even worse than Shao Yunxuan’s.

Chu Kong’s brows furrowed, his fingers trembling as he dialed a phone number.

Shao Yunxuan’s heart immediately leaped into her throat.

But soon the message that the other party’s phone was switched off came through, and Chu Kong understood that his brother was busy with performances lately.

He looked increasingly tired and waved her away.

Shao Yunxuan, watching his expression, heaved a long sigh of relief.

That was a close call, but she had managed to bluff her way through!

With the video now in her hands, she just needed to practice to match it.

As long as she could make it through the concert after the New Year, all her problems could be solved.

——

Qi Zhen had been feeling uneasy lately and, after delivering meals to Xiao Qimo several times, he finally couldn’t hold back and made a move.

That day, she wrapped herself up tightly, didn’t ask the family driver to take her, and took a taxi directly to Yangfan Hotel.

Before getting out of the car, she checked herself in the mirror to make sure she wouldn’t be recognized, then got out of the taxi with caution.

She wanted to see who her son was associating with.

If it’s really someone from the Shadow Hunting Team…

Then don’t blame her for tearing apart a couple with her own hands.

After arriving at the hotel, Qi Zhen first went to the main building to check in.

As she held the pen to sign her name, she paused slightly, her interest piqued by the melodious piano music drifting through the air.

She often went to concerts with the father of her child, and especially loved the performances by the Starlight Symphony Orchestra, never missing a single one.

Now, upon hearing a beautiful piece, she couldn’t help but inquire about it.

“Who is playing the piano?” Qi Zhen asked the receptionist as she pushed the registration form forward.

This time the receptionist wasn’t as guarded, and explained respectfully, “It’s the piano tuner tuning the piano, probably testing the sound.”

Because the performer today wasn’t a master, their management wasn’t as strict.

Qi Zhen uttered an “Oh,” “Can I go have a look?”

“Please feel free.”

Qi Zhen didn’t mind the trouble and followed the sound of the piano music all the way to the piano room, finally finding the source of the piano piece.

She stood at the doorway, adjusting her shoulder bag, and paused to listen quietly.

Not disturbing was a form of respect for the performer.

What kind of performer was it, then?

It appeared to be a girl in her early twenties, sitting quietly in front of the piano, eyes slightly closed, playing the keys with concentrated intoxication.

Like blossoming flowers, her fingertips released brilliant and beautiful notes with every touch.

Beside the girl stood a man in his early thirties, dressed as a piano tuner by his attire.

As the piece ended, Qi Zhen opened her eyes contentedly, quietly clapped her hands, and silently left.

——

Lu Mian and Fu Yu were unaware that Qi Zhen had been there.

After Fu Yu finished tuning the piano, he let Lu Mian do a sound test.

Lu Mian casually played a segment.

It was the same piece she had played in the teaching building before.

After the sound test, she gave Fu Yu a thumbs-up and suddenly remembered that her little uncle couldn’t see clearly, so she said with a smile, “It’s great, perfect.”

Fu Yu responded with a shy smile, “Then I can report back to the company.”

Fu Yu started packing up, and Lu Mian helped him.

“Mianmian, I remember you played the electronic keyboard well when you were young; I never thought you’d learn piano too.

You know, back then I lived in darkness, had no confidence in the future, and didn’t even know what I could do…”

In his near-blind state, he wasn’t much different from a blind person.

Others considered what they wanted to do; he could only consider what he was capable of doing.

Lu Mian squeezed his hand.

Fu Yu also patted her hand back after a slight delay.

“But later, your second sister brought you to me, and that became a turning point in my life.

If it wasn’t for you redeeming me with music, I probably would have never found myself…” Fu Yao said these words with sincerity.

Lu Mian pursed her lips, slightly lowered her head, and spoke in a calm voice.

“Little uncle, there is no redemption between us.

I’m not that good; back then, I was just a person who wasn’t liked, even abandoned.

But you, you never despised me.”

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

If we’re talking about redemption, it was probably mutual redemption.

Fu Yu couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re still the same as before, not used to being praised.

Have you considered going into the piano industry after university?”

Lu Mian finished packing his things for him, zipped up the bag, and casually handed Fu Yu his cane.

“I don’t know.

Just do whatever I want to do, life doesn’t have so many ‘musts’.”

This time, Fu Yao gave her a thumbs-up, “You really know how to live life.”

Lu Mian gave a bittersweet smile, hiding a trace of desolation.
