Sheet music number 35
On the night of the concert, Tang Guangyao was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and soon the hospital entrance was surrounded by reporters who could not be driven away.
If Tang Guangyao had just fainted, he might not have attracted so many reporters, but the young man who shouted "Dad" during the live broadcast just now actually contributed millions of attention.
Everyone knows that Tang Guangyao’s wife is Yu Ji, and their only child is a girl named Tang Xi.
*
Jiang Shumo drove behind the ambulance. She certainly didn't care about Tang Guangyao's life or death. As for the matter of his illegitimate child, she had long felt that no matter how affectionate a man like him was, being exposed for cheating on her was within her expectations.
illegitimate child.
Haha, the four or five people outside her father thought they were hiding it well, but in fact, it was simply because they, mother and daughter, were too lazy to care, and they knew that everything was caused by their father's bad nature, so they pretended not to know.
She is not afraid of being blamed for angering musicians. She came here simply because pursuing the truth is her instinct. Sitting and waiting for others to give her the "truth" is not her style.
She and Tang Guangyao were not related, so she definitely could not wait outside the operating room. She could only stare blankly in the security passage on the operating floor, sending text messages on her phone, asking her friends in the hospital to think of a solution.
She pressed the send button and looked through the cracks in the window at the densely packed cameras downstairs. She couldn't help but sneer, "A bunch of idiots who don't care about the truth, they just want attention."
She had just held the cigarette between her fingers and was about to light it when she suddenly heard a quarrel between a man and a woman in the corridor above her head.
The woman's voice sounded familiar, but she didn't think her good friend would be here.
"Tang Yangzong, I came here because you are my biological son. Since you are not yet an adult, I can only give you money since you asked for it. But I will not go in. I have no relationship with him anymore."
Tang Yangzong...this name is very similar to Tang Guangyao.
The man, or more precisely, a teenager in his voice change period, bluntly accused his mother.
"Mom, he's my dad. It's okay for you to act unreasonable and say angry words occasionally, but why do you really want to sever ties with him? I'm telling you, don't be fooled by that bitch. Daddy truly loves you. If there's a rift between you and Daddy, Daddy will definitely snatch you away from her."
My goodness, she has seen parents making unreasonable demands on their children, but how could there be an older child who morally blackmailed his mother?
Could she sigh and say that he was indeed Tang Guangyao's biological son?
Jiang Shumo really couldn't hold back his laughter. His hand trembled as he laughed, and the lighter hanging at his side fell to the ground with a click. Then there were overlapping footsteps, one extremely hurried, the other not too fast or too slow.
The young man poked his head out from the armrest, squinted his eyes to identify it for a moment, and said viciously: "What are you doing here, you bitch who made my dad faint?"
Tang Yangzong narrowed his eyes, and after a second, he suddenly realized, "I know. You must have been sent by that money-hungry bitch Yu Ji. If it weren't for your father, she wouldn't have fainted. She wants to destroy it because she can't have it. How vicious!"
Jiang Shumo knew Yu Ji, but he didn't know what kind of person she was. However, Tang Yangzong's accusation...
She raised her hand and said with a smile, "If she is a money-grubbing bitch, she would definitely not be happy with the divorce, so you are a bastard. If you are not a bastard, then she is not a money-grubbing bitch. Do you think you are a bastard, or are you slandering others?"
"I'm not some illegitimate child. I'm written into the Tang family tree. I'm a legitimate heir of the Tang family."
Jiang Shumo pinched his nose and said disdainfully, "You think you're acting in a TV drama? Are you going to say you're the eldest son? If you study history, you'll know that in ancient times, you'd be a concubine's son at best."
Tang Yangzong's eyes were bloodshot. She was about to leave the noisy corridor when she heard the familiar female voice laughing again.
"I really want to see you and Yu Ji quarrel. I don't know who will win."
Tang Yangzong's mother, Lin Shuangxue, finally revealed her true face and walked slowly to her with her arms folded across her chest.
"Surprise~"
She successfully scared Jiang Shumo into a trance.
No wonder she felt the female voice sounded familiar, but she didn't dare to mistake her friend for the woman in front of her. The reason was simple: she could never imagine that Lin Shuangxue would actually be Tang Yangzong's biological mother.
They had known each other for several years because they both loved to publish at their own expense in a publishing house and had both been persuaded by their editors.
"With your writing and painting skills, if you're willing to change the subject matter, you're guaranteed to make a killing."
Her family has a mine, so she also assumed that Lin Shuangxue's family has a mine.
Now it seems... She doesn't think that someone who can draw a comic like "The Pianist" would be so stupid as to give birth to a child for Tang Guangyao, a scumbag.
etc.
In the story of the pianist, the heroine has an abusive father and a mentally ill mother. As a musical genius, she should have been on the rise in her career, but her high school boyfriend plagiarized her.
She wanted fairness and justice, but was forced to marry her due to oppression from her family.
She devoted herself to him every day, gave up her music career to bear children for him, but he not only cheated on her after marriage, but also brainwashed her own daughter to oppose her.
In pain, she saw the videotape her mother had taken that year, which was a video of herself in high school.
At the end, the pianist remembered his dream, talked it over with his daughter, and resumed his music career.
A strange, but very likely true, guess suddenly came to Jiang Shumo's mind: what the pianist was going to tell might be Yu Ji's story.
Before she could even ask, Lin Shuangxue smiled brightly at her. "From what I know about you, you probably don't care about being blamed. You're here to find the truth, right?"
Jiang Shumo didn't hesitate. She pursed her lips and asked bluntly, "Can you take me to meet the protagonist of "The Pianist"?"
Lin Shuangxue put one hand on her waist and said with a bright smile: "I have wanted you to meet her for a long time."
The two of them completely ignored Tang Yangzong's shouts of "Women's brains just don't work well" behind them, and drove Lin Shuangxue's car away from the hospital at full speed.

When Jiang Shumo met Yu Ji, he realized that love at first sight is real.
The three of them chatted for a whole night, and with the other party's permission, she told all the truth about Tang Guangyao that she had heard on the Internet.
Naturally, some people accused her of lying, but facts do not lie. People can not only get answers from the recording of the concert, but many reporters also got the truth from the doctor.
As to whether Tang Yangzong was an illegitimate child or a legitimate child, there was no need for Jiang Shumo to post anything on his blog. Tang Yangzong himself could not accept the fabrication and actually ran to reporters to "clarify".
Reporters are very good at asking questions, and soon his "eldest son" remarks were criticized by the entire Internet.
The reporter dug up all the information about Tang Yangzong and came to the door of the Tang family's old house, wanting to ask what the so-called "family tree" was and whether the two elders really thought that as long as they had a boy, it didn't matter if their own son cheated.
Before they saw Tang Guangyao's parents and elder brother, their attention was attracted by the middle-aged woman lying at the door.
She was Wang Lanhua, who came to ask for her salary. The Tang family was unwilling to let her in, so she simply slept at the door wrapped in a quilt.
Wang Lanhua finished her self-introduction. Although she had no intention of speaking up for Yu Ji and Lin Shuangxue, she was really angry because Tang Guangyao refused to pay. In order to continue to cause trouble for Tang Guangyao, she not only praised Yu Ji and Lin Shuangxue against her will, but also laughed grimly and revealed a shocking news.
"That bastard, calling himself a real musician all day long, but I've seen him a few times secretly flipping through Yu Ji's sheet music and then excitedly adding it to his own compositions!"
The reporters were shocked again. The focus of the news reports had shifted from infidelity to impotence, and now to plagiarism.
At the same time, the "mistress" Lin Shuangxue's guilt had not yet been confirmed, and a comic called "The Pianist" was dug out again.
The so-called "friends" of Yu Ji and Lin Shuangxue appeared like mushrooms after a rain, sometimes speaking out on the Internet, sometimes going to newspapers and radio stations to expose information.
Is the mistress disgusting to the original wife?
No, the author's love for the heroine is almost overflowing from the screen.
A cartoonist is a mistress?
No, no, no, she was a sentimental fool who was in love. Because she believed Tang Guangyao's promise of being together forever in high school, she waited for him for four years in college.
In addition to his tumultuous love life, more and more musicians are questioning, "Did Tang Guangyao really write 'Question'?"
A well-known violinist joined the fray at this point. She registered a blog that day and published a statement that shocked the music world.
'^-^The Pianist was written by Yu Ji.'
"If you want to know the truth, see you tonight at 8 o'clock on Channel XX."
She added the final fuel to Tang Guangyao's grave.
She was interviewed on a TV program as Yu Ji's best friend.
Jiang Shumo knew the methods of these big families very well. She was sitting face to face with Yu Ji and expressed her concerns frankly.
"Teacher Yu, it's not that I don't believe you wrote the song, but so much time has passed and there's no evidence. Even with a celebrity like Teacher Song as a guarantor, the Tang family could just spend money on a defamation lawsuit and all your efforts could be wasted."
It wasn't Yu Ji who answered her, but Lin Shuangxue. She put her arm around her shoulders and made a clicking sound: "Look at you, you said you'd read the Pianist comics, but you can't even remember such an important clue."
Jiang Shumo frowned and said, "What clues? There's no ending yet."
Lin Shuangxue half-closed her eyes and smiled, "Hehe, the ending is open-ended, but the clue is hidden at the beginning of the story. Do you remember the part where the heroine and her friend played?"
She had just recently finished reading the comic, and she still remembered the scene at the beginning of the story clearly.
The heroine and her best friend performed in front of the entire school, stunning everyone. Her mother - yes, her mother recorded the entire process and watched it repeatedly in the mental hospital as comfort.
In the story, the heroine once gave up music, but in the end it was her mother's videotape that successfully helped her find her original intention.
"I thought this part was artistically processed, but it turns out to be real?" Jiang Shumo asked in surprise.
Lin Shuangxue held her face in her hands and explained, "There's a lot of artistic processing involved. For example, the underlying logic of the heroine's psychological activities was provided by me, not Yu Ji's way of thinking. The prototype of the heroine is the product of my fusion with her. But - some things are indeed the truth, such as our obsession."
Lin Shuangxue paused for a moment and chuckled.
"No matter what difficulties she faced, she would never give up music, and I never gave up comics."
Jiang Shumo thought of the discarded manuscript she saw at Lin Shuangxue's house, and also of the old piano scores in Yu Jiqin's room.
She laughed too.
“Yes, they never gave up.”
They are all true dreamers, and their ideals are the driving force that keeps them alive.
She hadn't slept all night, but she had never been more awake than at that moment.
She looked at Lin Shuangxue, then at Yu Ji.
She bared her white teeth and said happily,
"You must come back."
Yu Ji raised his eyebrows slightly.
“I feel like I never left.”
She straightened her back, looked determined, and raised her hand to stroke the registration form on the coffee table. Even though it was wrinkled, it did not affect her determination at the moment.
'Piano Competition Youth Group Audition Registration Form'
Auditions?
With her abilities, she could have just stood at the highest point, so why did she still...
The moment Jiang Shumo met her eyes, he suddenly understood the reason.
The open ending of "The Pianist" is not the end for Yu Ji.
The Question belongs to her and also to the stage of the piano competition. Fifteen-year-old Yu Ji missed it, but at forty, she is still capable of making up for it.
Jiang Shumo liked this story.
