Chapter 638: Chapter 638 It’s me_1 Chapter 638: Chapter 638 It’s me_1 Everyone in the courtyard instinctively turned to look at the entrance.
A hint of a smile appeared in Dai Jinhai’s eyes, great! It must be his student coming to his defense because she saw him being bullied.
Ah! It was so nice to have a student! A master with a student was as precious as a jewel, but an old man without a student was nothing more than a blade of grass.
Dai Jinhai looked at Mr. Mi with a sense of superiority and snorted contemptuously. Look! This is what a blade of grass really looks like.
Nan Fei walked casually out from the courtyard’s main entrance, her face expressionless as she turned to look at Li Guoying who had just spoken. “Ma’am, I ask you to show some respect when you speak to my teacher in the future!”
She was protective and hated it the most when someone bullied her family. Since she had accepted Dai Jinhai as her teacher, he was as good as family to her. She wouldn’t allow a junior to step on the head of an elder.
That’s why she stepped forward.
Actually, she had arrived a little earlier. Seeing that the door of her teacher’s house was unlocked and that no one was home, she guessed her teacher wouldn’t have gone far and was likely visiting neighbors, so she waited casually outside. She didn’t have to wait long before she heard the sounds of an argument next door.
Recognizing her teacher’s voice among them, she feared her teacher would end up at a disadvantage and decided to step in, despite her own apprehension.
To be honest, after figuring out what was going on, she was pretty angry. But it wasn’t surprising to her as she had already experienced something at the state guesthouse. She couldn’t be bothered to argue with Mi Yuezhen. Since she had been admitted to the academy before, then let it be.
She planned to go to the military academy anyway and didn’t want to deal with the messy politics of the art academy. Besides, Shi Xueyun from the art academy wasn’t easy to deal with. It would be best for them to fight among themselves.
The most unacceptable thing they did, however, was disrespecting her teacher.
At the sight of Nan Fei entering, Mi Yuezhen’s body shook with rage and humiliation from the previous insult. Her fists clenched tightly at her sides. If it weren’t for the lesson she learned last time, she would have rushed forward and slapped her.
Li Guoying was a minor leader at work and, with her father-in-law being a renowned painter and a professor at Nan Da University, she was usually treated with some respect. But now she was being scolded by a young girl. She almost fainted from the humiliation.
“Guoying, are you okay?” Mr. Mi’s son came up and asked with concern.
“I’m fine!” Li Guoying pushed him away and pointed at Nan Fei, shouting, “Who do you think you are? Do you even know where you are? Get out! You don’t have any say here.”
From the moment she saw this suddenly appearing girl, Li Guoying had determined she was no good, a sly fox! She wanted such a woman to stay far away from her family.
“I’m the artist who painted ‘Young Maiden,'” Nan Fei responded calmly to Li Guoying’s curse, with a sunny smile on her face that contrasted sharply with Li Guoying’s hideous expression.
Nan Fei had sparred verbally with He Jinlan many times. Each encounter was an exchange of veiled and overt insults. With so many rounds, even a fool would have learned something.
Speak of which, she should thank He Jinlan!
Not only had Nan Fei mastered the essence of winning a physical fight, but she had also grasped the essence of a verbal battle.
That is, the more lowly your enemy behaves, the more generous you need to appear. The aim is to kill them with kindness.
Li Guoying did not expect that the artist they had been searching for was right in front of her. She was dumbstruck and couldn’t find words to respond.
