At this moment, Shen Tingnuo felt deeply tired from the bottom of her heart, as if no one took her emotions and her words seriously.

Even if she went crazy, no one cared.

Even though she knew the result was not that bad, she still couldn't control herself.

Why bother? Saying so much will only add to the joke.

Pushing the man's hand away, Shen Tingnuo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Stop pretending here, you are with the two of them."

She turned and walked upstairs. The second promotion match was about to begin, and she didn't have time to waste with them.

I originally thought that everything would be fine as long as I got the music score back. But now it seems that I failed to get the music score back, and not only did I get very angry, but my wound also burst open.

"Shen Tingnuo, is that music score so important to you?" Fu Xiuyan didn't understand.

Shen Tingnuo did not respond, nor did she turn around. Since he was not on her side, why should she waste any more words on him?

Looking at the girl's back as she left, Fu Xiuyan tugged at his tie irritably.

"Brother Yan Mo, my ears hurt so much and are bleeding. Please take me to the hospital." Shen Zhili covered his ears, his facial features twisted in pain.

Yan Mo checked his ear and found it was just a small cut, not a big problem. He comforted him, "Mr. Shen, the wound is not big. You don't need to go to the hospital. Just apply some iodine."

"Then go get the medicine box quickly, I'm in so much pain!" Shen Zhili screamed in pain, "Ouch, ouch," as if he was seriously injured.

Yan Mo was slightly embarrassed and went to get the medicine box.

Fu Xiuyan frowned, his expression becoming even colder than before.

"You took her music sheet."

His words were a statement, not a suspicion.

Frightened by the man's expression, Shen Zhili immediately shook his head and denied, "No, no, I really didn't take her music score. Brother, don't listen to Shen Tingnuo's nonsense. She is the best liar..."

With every word he said, a thin layer of ice covered the man's face, and his voice became smaller and smaller until he shut up out of guilt.

He didn't know why he felt guilty, maybe because he had brought someone into the piano room.

But he really didn't touch Shen Tingnuo's music score, at most he just flipped through it.

Besides, he couldn't understand Shen Tingnuo's music score, so there was no point in him coming!

"Where is the piano room? Have you been in there?" Fu Xiuyan's voice was deep and it was hard to guess what he was thinking.

Shen Zhili swallowed and stammered, "No, no, I, I haven't been to the piano room..."

Perhaps because he was guilty, he didn't even have the courage to look the man in the eyes.

Before he could finish his answer, the man's icy voice sounded again: "Tell the truth."

These three simple words made Shen Zhili tremble all over. He really couldn't withstand the pressure from the man. He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

Said: "I was only in there for a short while, I really didn't take Shen Tingnuo's music score!"

"You've been in there, why didn't you tell me just now?" Thinking of the girl's crying, Fu Xiuyan became even more annoyed.

"Shen Tingnuo looked like he wanted to eat someone, how could I dare to say anything!" Shen Zhili said with lingering fear. If he admitted that he had entered the piano room just now, Shen Tingnuo would have eaten him alive on the spot!

"Then her music score..."

"I didn't take it!" Shen Zhili said hastily, "I really didn't take her music score, brother, I can swear!"

"You just said that you have never been to her piano room." Fu Xiuyan said, implying that he did not believe Shen Zhili's words.

Shen Zhili froze for a moment, and after a long while he found his voice to defend himself: "I really didn't take her music score. It's useless even if I took it! Yes, Shen Tingnuo and I do have some conflicts on weekdays, but she was the one who started it, and I was forced to fight back. But this time, I really didn't touch her music score!"

Fu Xiuyan said nothing, turned around and walked upstairs.

Seeing the man leave, Shen Zhili hurriedly chased him and explained: "Brother, I really didn't take her music score, you have to believe me!"

Fu Xiuyan still ignored him.

Shen Zhili was almost going crazy. At home, the person he feared the most was not his biological father Shen Cong, but this brother who had no blood relationship with him at all.

As for why he was so scared, he didn't know. Perhaps it was the fear of the truly strong.

"Brother, please say something. You are making me panic by not saying anything!"

He followed the man anxiously and couldn't help regretting entering the piano room without permission.

If he had known so many things would happen, he would never have set foot in the piano room!

It's Shen Tingnuo's fault too. He didn't take good care of his own things, and then he came to get mad at him after they were lost. He is simply a troublemaker.

Shen Zhili was somewhat resentful of Shen Tingnuo. After all, in his opinion, this incident was caused by Shen Tingnuo's failure to keep his things well.

"What do you want me to say?"

Fu Xiuyan stopped walking up the stairs, and his voice was calm as if nothing had happened, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Shen Zhili stopped immediately and stood two steps away from the man. Finally, he heard the man speak, and his panic was slightly relieved.

In order to extricate himself from the matter, he spoke out his speculations that only benefited himself.

"Brother, don't you think this is weird?"

Fu Xiuyan leaned against the railing, his face calm. He just raised his chin slightly to indicate to continue.

As if encouraged, Shen Zhili continued, "I suspect that what happened tonight was directed and acted out by Shen Tingnuo himself!"

"What's the purpose?" Fu Xiuyan asked calmly.

Shen Zhili pondered, "Of course the purpose is to attract all of our attention. Sister Yue Ni is recovering in the hospital, and she is the only woman left at home. She finally got the chance to become the family's favorite. How could a scheming person like Shen Tingnuo miss it!"

The more he talked, the more he felt that what he said made sense. He said excitedly, "Yes, that must be the case. Shen Tingnuo must have thought so! She is so shameless. In order to achieve her goal, she schemed so hard that she even took my brother into account!"

Fu Xiuyan's face gradually darkened.

Shen Zhili hadn't noticed yet, and used the most malicious thoughts to guess Shen Tingnuo, "Brother, you know Shen Tingnuo is the worst and most disgusting person since he was a child..."

Without waiting for Shen Zhili to finish his words, Fu Xiuyan showed impatience in his brows and turned his hand back.

The sound of "bang" echoed clearly in the stairwell.

Shen Zhili's chattering came to an abrupt halt. A burning pain came from his cheek. He was stunned and looked at Fu Xiuyan with dull eyes.

"Brother...you hit me? Why?"

He doesn't understand, he doesn't comprehend!

Fu Xiuyan raised his thin lips coldly, "After all, she is your biological sister, Shen Zhili, be respectful. I don't want to hear you say anything that belittles her anymore."

The man's words were full of protectiveness.

Shen Zhili was completely dumbfounded.

He doesn't understand at all!

He didn't understand at all!

Obviously the person who hates Shen Tingnuo the most is Fu Xiuyan, and now Fu Xiuyan is obviously protecting Shen Tingnuo. He really doesn't understand!

At this moment, Shen Zhili felt deeply stabbed in the back.

"Did you hear what I said? If I hear you belittling or slandering Shen Tingnuo again, it won't be as simple as a slap in the face like it is now."

The man's voice was flat, but his expression was full of warning, as if he would throw Shen Zhili down the stairs if he said anything else that was unfavorable to Shen Tingnuo.

The pain of being stabbed in the back and being slapped in the face were a big shock to Shen Zhili tonight. The man kept giving him a lot of cold warnings. He felt wronged and angry.

But he didn't dare to raise any objection, just nodded weakly and whispered: "I understand, I will never say bad things about Shen Tingnuo again..."

Seeing that the person was intimidated, Fu Xiuyan's irritability was finally driven away. He said nothing more and went straight upstairs.

There is another one that needs to be dealt with, and this one is much more difficult than Shen Zhili's.

Neither coaxing nor threatening works.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiuyan's restlessness, which had just been dispelled, doubled back again.

Shen Zhili did not follow. As he watched the man disappear around the corner of the stairs, he felt more and more aggrieved.

"Who are you? You're the one who said you didn't like Shen Tingnuo, but now you turn around and don't allow me to scold her. It's really a case of good intentions going unrewarded. If not..."

Suddenly he thought of something and his complaints stopped.

"Mr. Shen, why are you standing here? The medicine box is here. Come down and I will treat your wound." Yan Mo, who brought the medicine box, stood at the bottom of the stairs and called out.

Shen Zhili turned around, his eyes widened in horror, as if he had accidentally discovered something extremely terrifying.

Brother Yan, you don't like Shen Tingnuo, do you?!

If so, it's easy to understand why men's attitudes vary so much!

Oh my God!

He discovered something extraordinary!

"Mr. Shen, what's wrong with you?" Yan Mo frowned when he noticed something unusual about Shen Zhili.

"Impossible, no way, I must be wrong, how could I like her?! I can't possibly like her!" Shen Zhili stood there, muttering to himself in disbelief.

in the room.

As soon as she returned to the bedroom, Shen Tingnuo went straight to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water. The cold water droplets made her shiver.

The confused thoughts were briefly relieved, but only for a moment. When there was finally no one around me, all the grievances and grief surged into my heart in multiples, and tears filled my eyes again.

Having already suffered injustice, after calming down, the pent-up emotions completely erupted.

It’s too much, the three of them are too much!

The more I thought about Shen Tingnuo, the more uncomfortable I felt. Tears flowed down my face, wetting my cheeks in an instant.

Knowing that now was not the time to cry, she ruthlessly pinched the wound on the back of her hand, causing the already bleeding wound to bleed even more violently.

Under the stimulation of pain, Shen Tingnuo was not so painful mentally, and other complicated and stressful emotions were also relieved to a certain extent.

As if she had found a solution, she ruthlessly pressed the wound on the back of her hand again.

This time the pressure was quite strong, and she hissed in pain and could no longer cry.

This is exactly what she wants!

Calm down!

Shen Tingnuo washed her face again, roughly tore off the gauze soaked in water and blood, and replaced it with new clean gauze. Perhaps because the wound was torn, the scarlet blood stained the white gauze as soon as she put on the new gauze.

Shen Tingnuo no longer cared about so many things. As long as the blood stopped seeping out, she returned to her room and found the waste manuscripts in the garbage bag under the bed. Fortunately, she had not had time to dispose of these things.

In a pile of scraps, she found the latest scrap of music score according to the sorting numbers on the papers.

Smoothing out the wrinkled paper, Shen Tingnuo quickly read through the scrapped music score, found a pen and started to revise it, but no matter how he revised it, he could not achieve the song he wanted.

During the last revision of the score, she had a flash of inspiration and almost completely overturned the score she had made two days ago and created a new piece of music.

She only looked at the new music score three times and only remembered the general idea. It was impossible for her to write the new song completely now.

Unable to find the inspiration he had at that time and write the same music score as before, Shen Tingnuo was so angry that he threw down his pen and paper.

There were still ten minutes left before the game and she was really running out of time.

Are we really going to give up like this?

Shen Tingnuo pulled her long hair anxiously. The pain in her scalp reminded her that she should go to the piano room to prepare for the competition instead of wasting time here.

Picking up the paper and pen again, Shen Tingnuo opened the door and hurried to the piano room.

When she opened the door to the piano room and saw the tall figure standing in front of the music rack, she paused.

The next second, her brows furrowed deeply, and her anger level suddenly soared.

"What are you doing here?" She spoke in a bad tone, full of vigilance, and even suspected that the man had touched her cello without her knowledge.

Ignoring the dissatisfaction in the girl's words, Fu Xiuyan pointed to the wide open window and said, "It's a bit windy tonight, and the window of the piano room is not closed. Your music score may have been blown away by the wind. I have asked someone to search nearby, and I believe your music score will be found soon."

Shen Tingnuo didn't believe his lies and ordered him to leave: "Get out, my competition is about to start!"

"Shen Tingnuo, watch your attitude. Everything in the piano room was arranged by me." Fu Xiuyan reminded her. He gave her a way out and asked someone to help her find the music score.

She has done everything she should and shouldn’t do. What else does she want?

He allowed her to make a fuss and act up, but he could not accept her hostility towards him.

Shen Tingnuo's breathing stagnated slightly, and he suppressed his anger and nodded heavily, "Okay!"

Under the man's deep gaze, she took the cello she often used and said calmly, "This is what my mother left me. It doesn't belong to you. I'm taking it. I won't use this piano room anymore."

After she finished speaking, she turned and was about to leave.

She had been going in and out of the piano room for more than ten years, but now she just gave it up without any attachment.

"Shen Tingnuo, I don't mean to stop you from using the piano room." Fu Xiuyan grabbed her arm.

"Then what do you mean?" Shen Tingnuo shook off the man's hand.

"I..." Fu Xiuyan's thin lips opened and closed for five seconds before he spoke with difficulty, "Since I spent so much time decorating this piano room for you, can you at least be nicer to me?"

His words were humble enough, in stark contrast to his previous stubborn and tough character.
