Soon, the dishes were served one by one. Gu Momo was just about to tell Ling'er and Tianbao to eat their meals and continue drawing later when an old man walked over to the table.
He was wearing a gray-white Zhongshan suit, his hair was gray, and although his face was covered with wrinkles, he was very healthy. He looked at the painting in Li Qingling's hand with a smile in his eyes.
"Child, did you draw all of these?" The old man pointed to her paintings with his hand covered in age spots.
Li Qingling looked up, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter. "Yes, Grandpa, can you paint too?"
"What a prodigy! Such artistic talent at such a young age! You two must nurture this child well!" This was said to Gu Momo and Li Zhanting.
The two exchanged a glance and quickly took Li Qingling's painting.
You won't believe it until you see it, and once you do, you'll be shocked. This painting is absolutely perfect in terms of composition, lines, and color matching. It even perfectly captures Gu Momo and Li Zhanting, making them look as lifelike as a photograph.
If Gu Momo hadn't seen her daughter draw it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that the painting came from a five-year-old child.
She instantly felt that she had failed as a mother, not even knowing that her daughter had such a talent for painting.
Li Zhanting, who was standing to the side, was equally shocked. How could he not know that Ling'er had such a high talent in painting!
Seeing the expressions on their faces, the old man guessed that they probably didn't know about the child's talent either. So he took the initiative to speak, "Gentlemen, although I don't know your parenting methods, I have always cherished talent and really don't want a genius like your daughter to be buried. If you don't mind, could I take this child as my apprentice?"
Li Zhanting and Gu Momo exchanged a glance. Neither of them knew the old man in front of them, but soon, the people at other tables were also drawn to the conversation.
Everyone was astonished the moment they saw the old man.
"My God, isn't that the master of traditional Chinese painting, Ling Chuchen?"
"Did I hear that right? Master Ling just said he wanted to take this little girl as his disciple?"
"Master Ling has never formally accepted any disciples over the years. Many people who have studied painting since childhood and looked up to him as their role model want to become his disciples. Because there are so many people who admire him, the master even gave an interview to his disciples a few years ago, saying that he only considers talent and chemistry when accepting disciples. I never thought it was really true!"
Gu Momo was shocked. This was Ling Chuchen, a master of traditional Chinese painting?!
