"..." The man remained silent.
As if struck by a thought, Eddie smiled.
“I was very lucky this time, I met the painter I had always wanted to meet. Uncle, do you remember the painting ‘Jasmine’ that you collected? I met her in H City, she happened to be there on vacation, and we became good friends.”
"Her name is Zhi Nan, Ji Zhi Nan."
"..." Eddie didn't see the man's face stiffen when he heard the name.
"When I met her, she was painting on the beach. She was painting the sea. She was a very friendly young woman, who looked to be in her early twenties. When she saw that I liked her work, she gave me the painting she had painted."
Eddie took out the painting he had carefully preserved and placed it on the table.
"Uncle, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
After finishing speaking, Eddie left the room and closed the door behind him.
"Bang……"
After a very long time, the man who had been standing there without saying a word finally moved.
He turned his head, his gaze falling on the table. His eyes weren't the deep blue of Eddie's, but black.
With his chestnut-brown short hair, he resembled an emperor in the darkness, his eyes sharp and cold.
Silently, I walked over and stopped at the table.
He looked down at the painting, his face expressionless.
It may not be as outstanding as the works of top masters, but it is exceptionally unique.
This style is just like hers, so much so...
It seemed to stir up the man's memories, and his handsome brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of pain on his face. It was clear that those memories were not pleasant for him.
He braced himself on the table with one hand and pressed the other tightly against his chest, his breathing slightly rapid.
Even though some things happened so many years ago, they still cause him immense pain every time he thinks about them.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the very neat handwriting in the corner.
south.
Then I remembered what Eddie had said earlier.
Her name is Zhi Nan, Ji Zhi Nan.
Zhi Nan... Ji...
…………
The old man was successfully brought back to Jiujin Platinum Palace.
The doctor gave the old man a thorough examination.
"Don't worry, Miss Ji, there's nothing serious. As long as you take good care of yourself, nothing will happen."
Hearing the doctor's words, Ji Zhinan finally felt relieved.
She nodded: "Thank you. I'll have to trouble you to take care of my grandfather from now on."
The doctor smiled and said, "You're too kind. Saving lives is our duty."
After confirming that the old man was alright, Ji Zhinan left with peace of mind.
Back in her room, she took out her phone and started scrolling through her contacts.
She hasn't paid attention to the company for several days since she and Gu Yibei went to H City.
I called Xing Minggao, and the phone was answered after only a few seconds of ringing.
"Nan Nan?"
"Uncle Xing."
Upon receiving Ji Zhinan's call, Xing Minggao was in a good mood: "You and Young Master Gu have fun outside. Uncle Xing is at the company, so there's no need to rush back."
"Uncle Xing, I'm back," Ji Zhinan said.
The person on the other end paused for a moment, then quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Mm." Ji Zhinan responded, "My grandfather had some trouble, so I came back."
“Uncle Xing,” Ji Zhinan said.
"I'm here." Xing Minggao immediately replied, "Just tell me if there's anything Uncle Xing can do."
