As Jian Yiling left the room and walked up the stairs, Wen Nuan suddenly glanced at her from downstairs.

When their eyes met and Wen Nuan had an expression that was filled with warmth and sorrow. She appeared to have wanted to say something but instead, she hesitated.

Her daughter was cherished by her from a young age, however...

Wen Nuan started to cry in Jian Shuxing’s arms. She sobbed, “It’s all my fault, I spoiled Yiling too much...”

Although Jian Shuxing had been in the corporate world for many years and had been through various matters, large or small, he had never frowned and creased his brows. However, today’s event made his eyes red.

“No, it’s not all your fault, I’m also in the wrong. Fortunately, it’s not too late to educate her. If we start teaching her properly, Yiling can still fix her ways,” Jian Shuxing said whilst gently patting his wife’s back.

Jian Shuxing was not in a good frame of mind either. He had to admit that out of their four children, he and his wife spoiled their daughter a bit more as she was the youngest and the only girl.

However, this did not mean he didn’t love his other three children. When such a thing happened to his third son, he felt terrible.

The married couple looked at each other, their eyes filled with sadness, lament, responsibility, and reluctance.

The emotion that showed up in their eyes was foreign to Jian Yiling.

In her past life, when her parents had discovered her talents, they had signed a contract with an institute and left her there. In return, every year, the institute would send a large sum of money to her parents.

Jian Yiling rarely had a chance to interact with her parents. On the rare occasions where she got to meet her parents, their eyes were filled with coldness and indifference that made her feel that she was miles away from them. Even if there were words of care regarding her well-being, it was done in a manner that felt as though it was a memorized and prepared speech. There was never any warmth in that.

However, the couple looked at her in a manner that affected her greatly. It made no sense to her yet her emotions were running rampant.

Perhaps in this matter, they didn’t choose to believe in Jian Yiling. However, their love for Jian Yiling was real.

Wen Nuan suddenly left her husband’s embrace and ran up the stairs to come to Jian Yiling’s side.

The fifteen-year-old Jian Yiling looked quite petite and small compared to her peers as she had a premature birth.

She had a small doll-like face with delicate features. Even at the age of fifteen, she still had a bit of baby fat on her face that had not grown away.

At this moment, Jian Yiling’s silence made Wen Nuan feel even more terrible.

Wen Nuan lowered her voice and severely scolded Jian Yiling. “Yiling, you must admit your mistake this time. In a bit, your father and I will go to the hospital to see your third brother. You must come with me and go say sorry to him! You need to go ask for his forgiveness! If you don’t correct yourself, even your father and I won’t forgive you!”

Wen Nuan had never been so strict with Jian Yiling before.

Jian Yiling nodded.

She knew that there was no point in trying to explain herself at this moment.

If she kept trying to deny that she did it, she would follow the footsteps of Jian Yiling from the novel. That would push herself to a precarious position.

In the evening, Wen Nuan asked Aunt An to make some tonic soup and some dishes. After placing the food into a thermal mug, Wen Nuan dragged Jian Yiling with her to the hospital.

The Jian residence was in the middle of the mountains. This area was filled with villas that were owned by powerful and influential individuals of the Hengyuan City.

The hospital that Jian Yunnao was residing in was half an hour ride away from their house. It was the best private hospital in Hengyuan City.

When they arrived at the hospital ward, they saw their son’s arm hoisted to frame, his face pale and lifeless, their hearts filled with pain.

Jian Yunnao and Jian Yuncheng had similar facial features. They both were exquisite and sharp.

However, compared to the older brother, Jian Yunnao’s features were softer and more tender.

Yet right now, his tender features exhibited sorrow, and his eyes were filled with despair.

Jian Yunnao was only seventeen years old. Encountering such an experience affected him too much.

Jian Yuncheng sat next to Jian Yunnao in silence.

His face was shrouded with gloom.

“Yunnao, mummy asked Aunt An to make your favorite dishes. Would you eat a little?” Wen Nuan asked gently as she walked up.

Jian Yunnao immediately turned his head to the side.

Wen Nuan knew that her son was upset.

She continued to comfort him beside the bed and hoped that he could open up to her.

Jian Yuncheng told his mother that, “Mo Shiyun had visited a while ago. She brought some food and fed third brother.”

After hearing those words, Wen Nuan paused for a bit before replying, “That’s good. It’s good to have eaten. If you eat well, your hands will recover. Don’t worry, your dad has already contacted the best surgeon for you.”

Wen Nuan knew Mo Shiyun. She was the daughter of Aunt Mo who was a servant of her household.

Aunt Mo was a pitiful person. Her husband had passed away and she had to take care of her child by herself. Due to this reason, she had pleaded for her child to live with her as she served the Jian family.

Wen Nuan hadn’t refused. Aunt Mo was incredibly diligent with her work. An additional child only meant one extra mouth to feed. And a child didn’t eat a lot in the first place. The Jian family did not lack that amount of money.

Mo Shiyun and Jian Yunnao were of similar age and they got along well.

The quarrel between Jian Yunnao and Jian Yiling this time was due to Mo Shiyun. However, Wen Nuan knew that she couldn’t blame Mo Shiyun, as it was her daughter who was too petty. Regardless of how much her brother loved her, it was impossible for him to not have any other friends.

Jian Yunnao suddenly spoke, his voice low and lifeless, “Don’t lie to me. The nerves in my hands are broken. There is no way that it will become better. I will never be able to play music again! I’ll just be a handicapped person!”

“Don’t say that... Yunnao... Mummy knows that you feel awful... It’s mummy’s fault...” Wen Nuan cried as she apologized to her son.

“Why are you apologizing? Shouldn’t you get her to apologize to me?! She should compensate by one of her hands! Then I won’t argue with her anymore!”

“Yunnao, she’s your younger sister... And she’s still a child, I... I...” Wen Nuan didn’t know what to do anymore.

When Jian Shuxing saw his wife crying silently, he quickly told him to stop, ” Yunnao, don’t force your mother!”

“Yes, I’m forcing her! I’m the one who is forcing her. You all only know to protect Yiling. Only she is your child. And I’m not!” Jian Yunnao was furious. He usually would never be mad if they had spoiled his younger sister a bit more. However, now he had lost both his hands. His emotions had completely fallen apart.

Jian Yuncheng promptly prevented the argument from furthering. “Yunnao, although mother and father are in the wrong. However, if you ask our mother and father to go and break Yiling’s hands, that’s not realistic either. You need to calm down. Everyone is trying to think of ways to help your hands. And they will give Yiling the punishment she deserves. Brother promises you.”

Jian Yuncheng’s words made Jian Yunnao calm down quite a bit. He still listened to his elder brother quite a bit and he knew he couldn’t break his younger sisters’ hands.

Even if his younger sisters’ hands were broken, his hands wouldn’t get better.

At the door of the ward, Jian Yiling watched everything in the room. Her eyes fell on Jian Yunnao’s injured hand which was suspended by the frame.

There were many instruments nailed on his hands.

Jian Yiling knew from a glance that the nerves in Yunnao’s hands were injured. If he wanted his hand to recover completely, then he had to perform a surgical repair on the nerves,

It was a very difficult operation and currently, there were not many surgeons who could do so.

Otherwise, the financial power of the Jian family would have arranged an operation for Jian Yunnao already.

In the original novel, Jian Yunnao’s hands never completely recovered. And thus, his entire pianist career had been cut off. Due to this, Jian Yunnao became incredibly depressed and his world became incredibly gloomy.

And because his parents continued to care about Jian Yiling, the relationship between Jian Yunnao and his parents became incredibly poor.

And in his gloomy world, the heroine Mo Shiyun became his only source of light.

Jian Yiling looked down on her own hands. She was able to do this type of surgery. She had the technology and had experience in countless operations.

When Jian Yiling was at the research institute, she had focused on drug research. However, at the same time, she achieved outstanding successes in many surgical operations and became highly recognized domestically.

At that time, Jian Yiling’s operations were even auctioned by the institute.

However, her hands could not perform such a sophisticated operation right now. She needed the correct technology and she needed to train her hands to not shake during the operation.

And that required a period of training.

At this time, Jian Yuncheng noticed Jian Yiling at the door of the ward. He got up and quickly walked to the door.

Jian Yuncheng was more than 1.8metres tall. The fifteen-year-old Jian Yiling in front of him appeared to be especially small. The top of her head just reached his chest.

Jian Yiling wore a simple white sweater. Her face was white as well and she appeared to look like a fluffy little rabbit. However, that was only her appearance. Her heart was most likely all black.

“Go in and apologize.”

He spoke in a simple, yet commanding tone that demanded obedience.

“He will get angry.”

Jian Yiling’s voice sounded soft and immature. She didn’t want her words to sound like that. However, this body was only fifteen years old.

At the same time, Jian Yiling’s speech was very slow. It was almost as though she spoke word by word. Yet, the reason for this was because she was too unfamiliar talking with relatives.

“Now you know that he will get angry? Did you think about him getting angry before you did what you did? Getting angry is probably the least of it!” Jian Yuncheng said, his eyes red and his aura terrifying.

“No, I’m not scared of him being angry and blaming me,” Jian Yiling explained. “I just think that being angry will be bad for his hands.”

She intended to cure his hands. However, he couldn’t wreck his hands further. If he were to wreck his hands further, she wouldn’t be able to help him.

“When did you start stammering? Are you scared?” Jian Yuncheng asked.

Jian Yiling’s natural voice coupled with her slow and stumbling way of speaking made Jian Yuncheng mistaken that she was scared.

Jian Yiling didn’t explain. She wasn’t scared but rather, she wasn’t good at communicating with ‘family’. In her previous life, she met her parents once every year. And every time they met, they did not exchange more than ten sentences

Ever since she learned how to think, she had lived in the research institute. Most of her time was spent in the laboratory. She was familiar with work discussions and not everyday discussions.

Jian Yuncheng coldly warned Jian Yiling, “I don’t care whether you are afraid or you are genuinely worried about Yunnao’s emotions. In this matter, you must work hard to strive for his forgiveness. If Yunnao doesn’t forgive you, then I won’t forgive you either.”

Jian Yuncheng was someone who didn’t go back on his words. Since he said that, he would certainly follow through, even if Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan asked him not to.

Jian Yiling nodded.

“Go apologize now,” Jian Yuncheng said. He insisted that Jian Yiling should go and apologize to Jian Yunnao. “I’ll pay attention to his injured right hand.”

Hearing this, JianYiling entered the ward.

As soon as Jian Yunnao saw Jian Yiling enter, he became incredibly angry. If it was not for Jian Yuncheng who held him down, he would have jumped up already.

“Jian Yiling! Are you happy now?! I’m crippled! I won’t be able to play the piano for the rest of my life! My entire life is ruined! Are you happy now?!” Jian Yunnao yelled, his words filled with fury.

Jian Yiling didn’t run away. She stood there and accepted his anger.

Seeing Jian Yiling’s calm demeanor, Jian Yunnao’s anger did not lessen at all.

Losing his most important hands made Jian Yunnao’s heart become enveloped in a dark cloud.

His life, his pride, and his dreams were all ruined.

And the source of all this started from when Jian Yiling started arguing with him!

He was angry, he was sad and most importantly, he hated her!

Jian Yunnao violently picked up the lunch next to him with his uninjured left hand and threw it at Jian Yiling’s head.
