08 Portrait
Su Manning's daily routine is very regular. It's like after dinner, she will go to the studio for one to two hours before going back to the bedroom to take a shower and sleep. Repeating something over and over again is actually quite boring and tiring, but these days of taking a break from her busy schedule are something she has longed for.
Growing up in an orphanage, she was not very talkative and was often isolated. After work, in order to support herself, she often worked overtime until late at night and didn't even take a break on weekends, so she had no time to do what she liked.
Yes, Su Manning has liked painting since she was a child. Although she has not received professional training, she does have extraordinary talents in painting.
At this moment, Su Manning was sitting in front of the easel and carefully depicting a portrait. The middle-aged man in the painting sat upright on the single sofa, wearing a straight suit, with extraordinary momentum and faintly revealing the kingly demeanor. He was holding a red wine glass in his hand, with a small glass of wine flowing in it. In terms of composition, it was really good. It not only reflected the man's heroic posture, but also highlighted his noble identity. However, the man in the painting did not seem to love to laugh very much, with a solemn expression, which made people feel awe-inspiring and difficult to get close to.
Su Manning held a paintbrush and depicted the man's hair bit by bit, with a focused expression.
She has been painting this painting for a long time. She has painted every stroke with great care. If Gu Zhen comes in at this time, he will definitely recognize the man in the portrait - his father-in-law Su Nanfeng.
After shaping the last stroke, Su Manning slowly put the brush down. After staring at the portrait for a long time, Su Manning smiled with satisfaction.
"It took a week and finally finished..." Su Manning murmured softly.
Her fingertips streaked across the human cheek, leaving a shallow mark.
"I'm really looking forward to it..." Su Manning said such a stupid sentence, and smiled and stood up and left.

Su's house
Su Nanfeng was lying in the bathtub to take a bath. Somehow, his face suddenly felt like something was pricked on him, and it felt a faint pain.
He raised his hand and touched his face, but nothing unusual was true.
Could it be that he had hallucinations? Su Nanfeng frowned and tightened.
No, no!
How could his feeling go wrong?
So he got up from the bathtub, too lazy to wrap his bath towel, walked straight to the bathroom table, and looked left and right in front of the mirror. However, there was still no problem in the mirror.
His face is well maintained. He is nearly fifty years old, and his skin is still smooth and delicate, and he looks quite in his early forties.
Su Nanfeng touched his left cheek and murmured to himself. "Is it really an hallucination?"

The next day, Gu Zhen finished breakfast and went to the company as usual.
Su Manning looked at the calendar and found that it was fifteen again. On this day of the month, she would go to the ancestral home as usual. Thinking of the old and domineering old lady, Su Manning couldn't help but pinch her eyebrows.
She really hated this damn Gu Jiajia Rule!
Gu Youting didn't notice her expression, and his eyes kept aiming at the direction of the door, obviously waiting for Aunt Song to arrive.
Su Manning had no time to pay attention to him, and said to the butler, and left by car. When she came back from her ancestral home, it was already noon. As soon as she reached the door, she heard laughter and joy coming from the living room.
Su Manning was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
