Chapter 94 Ji Chengmian

"Find an opportunity to show your paintings to your father. They are more valuable than anything else."

Nan Zhiyan gently brushed the corner of Nan Xin's eyes, wiped away the tear, and reminded her.

"Sister, what do you mean?"

Nan Xin looked a little confused and didn't quite understand what Nan Zhiyan meant.

"Sander is your teacher, right? You may not know that his paintings are extremely popular among the nobles and are worth a fortune."

"How do you know he is my teacher?"

Nan Xin suddenly opened her eyes wide, somewhat unable to believe it.

Sander was indeed Nanxin's teacher, but later he left Berlinlink. However, the teacher-student relationship was not severed.

But Sander warned her not to let any third person know about their relationship.

At the same time, he also told Nan Xin that she could not display her paintings in any public place until she graduated from Berlanlin.

However, her personality was dull and unpleasant to begin with, and she didn't have many friends in public school, so she wasn't worried about anyone knowing about this.

Nan Zhiyan had seen Sander's paintings. He became famous very early, but what really made him famous and highly sought after among the nobles was a painting he painted two years ago called "Starfield".

The eerie style of painting is so depressing that it can make people fall into despair at first glance, which is very different from his previous style.

But this also made him a genius in the imperial art world.

Subsequent paintings in this style were auctioned off by aristocrats and the prices were driven up to sky-high levels.

Nan Zhiyan is not very interested in art. He noticed Sander because his paintings looked familiar.

It was not until she saw Nan Xin's paintings that she had a vague guess in her heart.

Looking at Nan Xin's reaction now, it is likely that it is pretty close to what I guessed.

"His paintings are very similar to yours."

Nan Zhiyan's words were relatively tactful, but Nan Xin still understood them.

She was neither angry nor disappointed, as if she had expected it.

Indeed, Nan Xin vaguely knew that Sander had been plagiarizing her paintings, but because he was her mentor who saved her from danger, she acquiesced to this behavior.

What she didn't know was that the other party plagiarized her work and sold it to nobles.

Just like Sander didn't know that she was Nan Wenqi's illegitimate child.

"I see. Thank you, sis."

Nan Zhiyan didn't say anything else. Just as he turned around and was about to leave, Nan Xin grabbed his clothes again.

"Sister, I mean it when I say I want to help you."

Nan Xin had a determined expression. Although she didn't understand what Nan Zhiyan was trying to do, she could see that Nan Zhiyan didn't like this family, and even less so, Nan Wenqi.

Nan Zhiyan turned around, looked at the man for a while, and shook his head.

"Take care of your business first. I won't be polite to you when necessary."

After saying this, Nan Zhiyan turned and left the garden.

But as luck would have it, as soon as I entered the door, I ran into Sui Yu, who had come back at some point in time.

"Miss, I heard you were injured."

The moment they passed each other, Sui Yu was the first to speak.

"I'm sorry I didn't have time to take care of you..."

"The butler seems to be very busy."

Nan Zhiyan interrupted Sui Yu and took a few steps closer.

Obviously, he didn't expect Nan Zhiyan to suddenly come close to him, and Sui Yu's formal and decent smile froze on his face.

In front of him was Nan Zhiyan's beautiful eyebrows and eyes which suddenly widened, and those beautiful eyes were looking straight at him.

This realization made Sui Yu feel a little more happy, and he didn't even notice the quick look of understanding that flashed across Nan Zhiyan's eyes.

It seems that she was not wrong last time. It was indeed the smell of disinfectant.

But this time, there seemed to be another smell mixed in, and it smelled somewhat familiar, as if she had smelled it there before.

Perhaps because he came back in a hurry, Sui Yu didn't have time to cover up, and the smell this time was much stronger than last time.

"It's true that I've been a bit busy lately, but taking care of the young lady is the most important thing to me."

After just a moment's pause, Sui Yu quickly reacted and replied calmly.

"Thank you, but I don't need your care at the moment."

Nan Zhiyan took a few steps back, his tone became colder, and after he finished speaking, he quickly walked up the stairs.

I returned to the bedroom and looked at the empty reagent on the table. Before I had time to think about it, the terminal rang.

"Ayan, do you have time to come to my house? My mother...she wants to see you."

It was a message from Ji Xun, a voice message. Even through the screen, one could sense the guilty tone in the other party's voice.

Before Nan Zhiyan could reply, Ji Xun's message came again.

"It's okay if you don't want to come. Just don't come. I'll talk to mother."

Marquis Xi Suo wants to see her?

Maybe it was because of the bidding, but Nan Zhiyan knew that Marquis Xi Suo would not be the kind of person who would blame others for his son’s failure.

Of course Nan Zhiyan had to go, no matter what the other party's reason was.

She asked Ji Xun to pass the message to her because she didn't want anyone else to know about this, including Nan Wenqi.

So after changing his clothes, Nan Zhiyan went out.

When they arrived at the gate of Xisuo's house, Nan Zhiyan saw Ji Xun standing at the door in a daze from a distance.

It wasn't until he got off the car that Ji Xun came to his senses.

But this time, Ji Xun was not as happy to see me as usual.

There was even a hint of evasiveness in his gaze, as if he had done something wrong.

"Ayan, you don't have to come."

Ji Xun felt a little more anxious. She was not sure whether her mother asked Nan Zhiyan to come because she had noticed her feelings.

She was afraid that her mother would say something to Nan Zhiyan. Thinking that they might drift apart in the future, Ji Xun felt as if a stone was pressing down on her heart, and she felt depressed and uneasy.

"As a junior, I certainly cannot refuse the invitation of the Marquis."

Besides, she also had something she wanted to discuss with Marquis Xi Suo.

"Ms. Taran, welcome. This way please."

As the two were talking, Hisoka's housekeeper came over.

She was a woman who looked capable yet gentle. Nan Zhiyan nodded at her.

I followed the direction the other party pointed and walked over.

Ji Xun stayed where she was because her mother wanted to meet Nan Zhiyan alone.

Ji Xun looked at Nan Zhiyan's back with concern and became even more anxious.

No matter what, she would never let her mother hurt A Yan.

Unlike what Ji Xun expected, the atmosphere in the study was quite peaceful.

"Long time no see, Ah Yan, how are you doing recently?"

"Thanks to you, everything is fine."

Nan Zhiyan bowed and saluted the bright and beautiful woman on the sofa, then stood up and sat opposite her.

"That's true. You really owe it to me this time."

Ji Chengmian was also smoking, but when he saw Nan Zhiyan come in, he simply put out the cigarette in the ashtray on the table.

The hand with the blood-red ruby attracted special attention, but Nan Zhiyan's eyes fell on the ashtray on the table.

"After all, I didn't expect that you would compete with Ji Lan, but it's not too embarrassing for Ji Lan to lose to you."
