Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 576 - Chapter 576 Chapter 576 Delivering Food to the Door_1

Chapter 576: Chapter 576 Delivering Food to the Door_1 Chapter 576: Chapter 576 Delivering Food to the Door_1 Dai Yifan knew of his grandfather’s pickiness. Although he had taught countless talents in all those years, he had never taken a single disciple. Now, not only does he have a disciple, but he also personally cooks delicious food for his disciple?

Does such doting on a disciple even exist?

He suddenly became full of curiosity about his grandfather’s disciple.

Knowing his grandfather’s discerning eye, the disciple chosen by him must undoubtedly be one in a million.

“Gramps, can you introduce me to this amazing disciple of yours?” Dai Yifan sat across from him, holding chopsticks but lost his appetite.

Mentioning his disciple, Dai Jinhai’s suppressed excitement bubbled up again, making him want to show off his disciple subconsciously.

“Do you know ‘Young Maiden’?”

“Of course, I do!” He not only knew about ‘Young Maiden’ but was also aware that Yu Jingyi was looking for the painter. Moreover, because this painting’s entry by Mr. Mi and his grandfather had outshone Yu Jingyi’s most valued disciple and infuriated him no end.

Dai Yifan looked at his grandfather’s joyful face and his eyes lit up, “Could it be the owner of ‘Young Maiden’? But I heard that the owner of ‘Young Maiden’ is Mr. Mi’s granddaughter, and it’s her self-portrait.”

“Nonsense! Who is spreading such falsehoods?” Dai Jinhai was livid. “No disrespect to Mr. Mi, but even if his granddaughter painted for a thousand years, she could never capture half of ‘Young Maiden’s’ quality and spirit.”

“I didn’t believe it either.” He had heard of Mi Yuezhen during his previous visits to his grandfather, and knew vaguely that she was disinterested in painting. She took it up under her grandfather’s insistence.

“‘Young Maiden’ was painted by my disciple!” Dai Jinhai declared with pride: “My disciple is superb. The words ‘phenomenally gifted’ don’t even begin to do her justice.”

“Congratulations, Gramps, on finally finding a disciple to your liking.” Dai Yifan feigned congratulation. Seizing the moment of his grandpa’s good mood, he tentatively asked, “So, are you not going back to the Imperial City then?”

Weighed down by the arrival of a disciple, he surely wouldn’t want to leave.

“Wrong! I’m going…absolutely! I will reply to the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts tomorrow and also inform those at Nan Da University.” He needed to arrange a grand initiation ceremony for his disciple!

Being his last disciple, the girl surely deserved the best.

“?????” The unexpected news left Dai Yifan shocked and speechless for a moment.

“Alright! Eat quickly and help me deliver the food to your aunt once you’re done.”

“Aunt?”

“Isn’t my disciple your aunt? She’s a generation older than you!”

Dai Yifan initially thought his grandpa wouldn’t accept an older disciple, figuring they’d have developed their style and habits. But upon remembering the painter of ‘Young Maiden’, he accepted that the artist must indeed be of a certain age.

“Alright then! What’s my aunt’s name? I don’t know her, so I need to know her name at least, right?”

“Jiang Nanfei! Such a lovely name.”

Dai Yifan’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. Why did he suddenly feel like his grandfather was the disciple, and that this person was the actual master?

In the small hotel, Ning Di and Lu Jin had already left. They had other matters to attend to. Only Huo Beijiang remained behind and was staying in the same room as before.

The entire hotel atmosphere became tense owing to Huo Beijiang’s stay.

Chen Cuihua had a lot to say to Nanfei, but the presence of such a character made her decide to retreat. To be safe, she informed her accountant not to take in any more guests.

Anyway, she ran the small hotel for fun not to make money, and if she did make any, it wasn’t much.
