So, this person knows her. It's possible he's a friend of one of her elders. Manman hesitated, "May I ask who you are——"
"It's not important what my surname is or what I'm called. You can call me Grandpa." The elder spoke in a firm manner, his tone was very self-assured, and one could tell he was someone accustomed to giving orders. He said, "I knew your grandfather and was even considered an acquaintance of your maternal grandmother."
The few words from the elder were quite intriguing, given his noble status. Manman and Jiang Yan dared not speak casually, quietly sitting in their places. The elder sat cross-legged opposite them, still speaking to Manman, and carefully sizing her up with his deep-set eyes, "Hmm, they all say the Lu Family's daughter carries herself with grace and is a great artist. I have seen your paintings. Beneath their simplicity, they hold a restrained and profound quality. Today, seeing you, it's as if the person and the painting are one."
