Chapter 98: Chapter 098: Master (Extra Update)_1

However, Nan Fei had never imagined, just as she was utterly disappointed with painting, that divine providence would give her a huge surprise.

Tears rolled down her cheeks, but she was so engrossed, barely noticing her tears, her gaze was focused only on the portrait she was gently caressing.

Her eyes filled with pity and sadness.

Through the portrait, she lamented for herself.

She grieved for her own past stubbornness, obstinacy, and for the ungratefulness of her own sacrifices. All of the present circumstances mockingly laughed at who she was in her past life – so much so that she was a total failure.

She had thought that she was good at nothing but by hard work and diligence, even without talent, she achieved not so bad results.

...

But what exactly is this sudden talent?

What is it?

“What… what’s wrong with you? You’re freaking me out.” Mi Yuezhen felt her hair stand on end, especially since the portrait was not hers.

Those eyes, that nose – they were like her reflection in the mirror. Looking at the eyes of the person in the portrait, she actually felt a sense of guilt.

Nan Fei finally came to her senses and looked up to find people standing all around.

Her eyes were red, and because she was so immersed in past thoughts, there was a chilling stubborn madness that could be glimpsed in her eyes.

Mi Yuezhen was so scared that she took a step back.

“You’re not going crazy, are you!”

Without raising her head, Nan Fei rolled up the painting and handed it to Mi Yuezhen saying, “I’m giving this to you. I won’t take money for it but I hope you’ll take good care of it.”

“Haha…” Mi Yuezhen responded with false bravado, “Why would I take good care of something like you?”

Nan Fei, who was packing her things, suddenly looked up, gazed unblinkingly into Mi Yuezhen’s eyes and said earnestly, “Because it will be very valuable in the future.”

“Don’t be ridiculous!” Mi Yuezhen did not believe this at all. She had seen so many blowhards before. Plus, her grandfather was a famous master of traditional Chinese painting. Why would she need someone else’s painting if she wanted valuable artwork?

“Take your money, I don’t have the habit of taking advantage of others. You think everyone’s like you!” Mi Yuezhen seized the opportunity to ridicule her.

Nan Fei completely ignored her. Today, she was not in the mood to continue to do business, she simply packed up her things and left directly.

She shut herself in her room and began to paint aimlessly.

Following the coastal road lined with tall French plane trees, leading from the City Square Park, at the end is the most famous university in the province.

The century-old Nan Da University occupies a wide area and has students from all over the country, not to mention numerous industry-leading professors.

In particular, the Art Faculty of Nan Da University is virtually neck and neck with the Northern University Art Faculty in the capital city.

Within the campus is an area specially designated for faculty housing and residences for professors’ families.

Mi Yuezhen, holding the portrait, walked into the faculty residential area, watching her grandfather playing chess in the yard.

From a young age, she was never fond of painting. Her grandfather forced her to learn, and she finally took up chess instead.

“Oh! My cute granddaughter seems to be in a bad mood today!” Mr. Mi stole a fleeting glance at his granddaughter while playing chess.

“I met a lunatic today.” Mi Yuezhen handed over the rolled-up painting to Mr. Mi in exasperation, “Look, such an ugly portrait, and they even had the audacity to share it.”

Having his view blocked by the painting, Mr. Mi lost his temper instantly.

“You, this damned granddaughter, trying to pick a fight? Don’t interrupt my game. If I lose, it’s on you!”

Mi Yuezhen was so annoyed that her teeth itched. She was even embarrassed to tell people that her grandfather was a renowned professor of art and a master of traditional Chinese painting.

He loved to curse people out, enjoyed using profanity, and when he was extremely furious, he would even curse himself.

“Wait!” The old man was sitting across, perfectly able to see the partially opened portrait, he held Mr. Mi’s hand and pulled over the painting. He stared at it for a long time with shock in his eyes.

“Lass, who drew this for you? Was it an old man wearing a Tang suit? About the same age as your grandfather?”
