Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 568 - Chapter 568 Chapter 568_1

Chapter 568: Chapter 568_1 Chapter 568: Chapter 568_1 “When your grandpa was young, he too had a girl he liked. We were born in a time of war. I was a scholar, having returned from studying overseas. But, I fell in love with a dancer of humble origins. As expected, my family was against us. We promised each other, vowed to run away together.”

“And then?” For some reason, Nan Fei’s hands clenched into fists from nervousness.

“She died, engulfed in fire caused by a plane’s bombing. The words I wanted to say, the promises I wished to fulfill for her, they can never be accomplished in this lifetime.”

Tears welled up in Dai Jinhai’s eyes, “Remember, girl, when faced with life and death, love seems trivial, but after a person dies, love appears magnificent.”

“The weight of life is heavier than Mount Tai. The magnitude of love exceeds the vast ocean.” He had seen from her narration just now. Despite her anger, she still held affection. The youngsters nowadays are spirited, yet they can also be impulsive and willful.

They may not take into account the consequences now, but as time passes, they’ll regret their decisions more and more.”

Nan Fei’s face turned pale, the shock reverberating in her mind for a long time.

‘The weight of life is heavier than Mount Tai. The magnitude of love exceeds the vast ocean.’ This sentence echoed over and over in her mind, like a VCD tape replaying incessantly.

Suddenly, she brought her knees up to her chest, buried her head in her knees, and cried silently.

Dai Jinhai gently patted her shoulder, “Have you figured it out?”

“Yes,” Nan Fei nodded, “I know what I have to do.”

“Good to know.” Dai Jinhai thought for a moment, “But from your account, it seems the other party isn’t simple, so you need to get stronger as soon as possible too.”

Having experienced the bitterness of being in a relationship with someone of different social status, he understood the barrier brought by class very well.

Nan Fei lifted her head, wiping the tears off her face. Her eyes sparkled brightly after being cleansed by tears, like the mesmerizing stars in a summer night sky. “I know, I will definitely become very strong, so strong that he will beg to me.”

“Hahaha! That’s the spirit.” He was now reassured.

“By the way! Why haven’t you gone back home so late, Grandpa Dai?”

“I’ve been pondering over something.” Ever since Dai Jinhai began searching for the artist of ‘Young Maiden’, he had adopted a habit of strolling around the public square whenever he was free.

After Nan Fei figured things out, she felt as if a weight had been lifted off, and she had a relaxed smile on her face. “You just gave me some guidance, I think I may be able to help you now.”

“Haha! You are interesting, girl.” It was not something he couldn’t share, “The Imperial City Academy of Fine Arts has invited me back to lecture. I’m considering whether I should return.”

“At the place where Professor Yu Jingyi is?” Nan Fei was taken aback. She remembered that in her previous life Dai Jinhai had always been at Nan Da Fine Arts College.

“You know him too?”

“He’s a famous master of traditional Chinese painting. Anyone who paints knows him.” Nan Fei shyly said, “The ‘Young Maiden’ painting at your university was painted by me.”

She pointed to the chair she was sitting on, and said with a smile, “Back then, I sat on this chair and painted Mi Yuezhen. I even charged her ten yuan! I never expected it would be sent to be displayed in an exhibition.”

Dai Jinhai was suddenly struck by a massive surprise; he had been searching for so long, and today due to a momentary compassion, he found her.

“You you you… you you you…” Dai Jinhai was ecstatic, it took him a while to calm down and regain his ability to speak. “I didn’t expect, not only are you the province’s top scorer, but also a painting prodigy. Could you actually be the incarnation of the God of Literature and Art?”
