Ning Xi stared at the paintings and was stunned.

One of the paintings is a woman standing in front of the easel, holding a pen in one hand and holding a drawing board in the other hand, and drawing the man opposite.

The man leaned lazily on the chair, tilting his head, but he couldn't hide his elegance.

She had never looked at this painting carefully before, but now she looked at the women's eyebrows and eyes in this painting...

"She looks very similar to you, right?" A old and familiar male voice suddenly came from behind.

Ning Xi turned his head and saw Ning Kai walking in his suit and tie.

He swept over the painting, his eyes sank: "I burned all the photos of Nuannuan for her to bury, and only this one is left, because she painted it by herself. Later, I found that the court auctioned the painting and kept looking for it."

Ning Xi couldn't help but want to reach out to touch the woman in the painting.

This painting has been hanging in Ning Kai's study for many years. Ning Kai never mentioned the source of the painting. She only thought it was a masterpiece of a master, but she never knew that she was her mother!

After all, her eyebrows and eyes were not so similar to the women in the painting.

The person who just works as a model for his mother does not seem to be Ning Kai. Although the man looked sideways, his facial features are different.

"Who is this person?" Ning Xi pointed to the man in the painting. Did he hurt his mother?

Ning Kai looked at her calmly: "I asked Nuannuan, and he said that she would never want to mention this person again in her life. Maybe she was the unfaithful man."

Ning Xi clenched his hands little by little. If it weren't for this man, his mother and grandmother wouldn't have been separated for so many years...

Ning Kai suddenly said again: "Have you had a bad relationship with Zhan Hanjue recently? I heard that you ordered the bodyguard not to enter the manor again."

"There is no smooth sailing between husband and wife. This does not affect our relationship. I still love him very much. Dad, don't worry."

I knew that my father was not just here to reminisce about the past with her.

"How can I ignore it? You are my daughter, I will be responsible for you. Anyway, you and Zhan Hanjue's children are gone. Don't be obsessed with it anymore. Stay away from him to be safe. You must believe that your father will definitely find someone who loves you more than him. You are destined to be unable to reach the end."

This sentence is like a needle piercing Ning Xi's heart, and the most sensitive nerve suddenly tense.

Her body was suddenly covered with spikes...

Even if there were many conflicts between her and Zhan Hanjue, even if she was angry that he wanted to secretly abort their child, she never thought of leaving him.

"Dad, what are you talking about? What do you mean to stay away from him to be safe? What makes us unable to reach the end? As soon as you come back, I feel that you have changed a lot!"

"I have never changed. It's the current situation. You don't know that there is a virus in Zhan Hanjue's body. He won't live long!"

"If you are worried about the virus, there is no need at all. He has an entire medical team under his command and will sooner or later develop an antidote."

"Sixi..."

"I don't want to argue with you anymore. You said you were the ones you want to give me, right? I'll go find the manager to take a picture of it." Ning Xi bit her lower lip and fled in a hurry.

She didn't know what Ning Kai would say if she stayed there, but she had a strong premonition.

Dad and Zhan Hanjue, one day, she will be in a dilemma.

On the way Ning Xi went to find the gallery manager, she saw Xia Qingning who had just walked in: "Xi Xi, why are you here?"

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied as usual, greeting her with a smile.

Xia Qingning followed Ning Xi's figure and looked back, and happened to see Ning Kai's back as he turned around and left, and his eyebrows suddenly twisted.

This back looks familiar.

"Auntie, are you here to see the art exhibition?" Ning Xi's inquiry brought back Xia Qingning's thoughts.

Xia Qingning had a faint smile on her lips, and she didn't continue to delve further. She held Ning Xi's arm and said intimately: "Yes, I heard that a batch of new paintings came to the gallery, so I'll come over to choose a few. Where are you?"

"I'm about the same. My father said that a painting was exhibited, which happened to be my mother's posthumous work, so we planned to take it down."

"The man you just had with you was your dad?"

"yes."

Xia Qingning couldn't help but look at the direction where Ning Kai disappeared again, and her doubts became even more serious, so she suggested that Ning Xi take her to see Mu Zhinuan's paintings.

She and Mu Zhinuan are of the same generation, but Mu Zhinuan seems to live in the words of parents as "other people's children". She has a good personality and excellent academic performance, and has a wide range of knowledge. She is not only vocal music, but also has strong attainments in painting.

It should have been a coincidence that they were studying in the same school.

However, the Zhan family and the Mu family have always been in disagreement, so Xia Qingning deliberately avoided getting along with Mu Zhinuan, but the school said it was not big and there was always a chance to meet.

Of course Ning Xi would not refuse, so he took Xia Qingning to see the paintings left by Mu Zhinuan.

A stunning flashed in Xia Qingning's eyes, but then there was deep surprise. She asked Ning Xi: "Is this man your mother wrote your father?"

"Well, probably not. This painting is much older than me. It should be my mother's previous boyfriend, but it's a pity that I can't see the face clearly."

The more Xia Qingning looked at it, the more she felt that the man in the painting looked familiar. She must have seen it somewhere, and Ning Kai’s back...

"I seem to have seen this man."

"... Have you really seen it?" Ning Xi suddenly became a little excited and grabbed her hand nervously: "Where did you see it? Do you know who he is?"

Xia Qingning was surprised.

Ning Xi hurriedly let go of Xia Qingning's hand and said awkwardly: "Mom had a quarrel with her grandmother for this man, but her grandmother didn't even see her for the last time."

"You mean this man betrayed your mother?"

"Well, but fortunately my mother met Dad again later."

Xia Qingning racked her brains to think for a while, and although she became more and more familiar with her, she still couldn't remember the man's appearance for a while.

Instead, I have a headache if I think too much...

Xia Qingning rubbed her swollen temples and smiled guiltily: "I really can't remember..."

"It's okay, in fact, so many years have passed. It's not easy for you to remember seeing him." Ning Xi comforted, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and it was fake to say that she was not lost.

Even if she couldn't seek revenge on this unfaithful man, she wanted to see how he had been in the past few years and whether she had ever thought about apologizing to her mother...

Xia Qingning said helplessly: "I will remember to call you again the next day."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Xia Qingning moved her lips, but she still didn't tell Ning Xi about what she seemed to have seen Ning Kai.

Because in her memory, the men in Ning Kai and Mu Zhinuan's paintings seemed to appear at the same time, but she really couldn't remember the more specific scenes.

After all, she took a quick glance at what happened more than 20 years ago, but where did she really care about it?

...

Xia Qingning left after buying the painting. Ning Xi was shocked when she saw Qiao Xin'an hadn't come out of the bathroom yet. She was so shocked. Could this girl be asleep in the bathroom?

In the corridor outside the bathroom, Ning Xi was about to go in to find Qiao Xin'an, and a staff member walked over with a smile on his face.
