The sentence that captured my attention in the text is: "These were exactly the kind of walls that her father had loved to paint on the most."

This sentence is powerful because it provides insight into Lizhi's father's passion for painting and his connection to the house. It suggests that the walls of the house held a special significance for him, likely because they were his canvas for creating art.

The phrase that provoked my interest in the text is: "It was very grand but very old house."

This phrase caught my attention because it contrasts the grandeur and age of the house. It suggests that the house, despite its grand appearance, may have some hidden history or secrets due to its age.

I choose the word "complicated." This was used in the context of explaining the intricacies of selling Lizhi's late father's paintings, "These people wanted to buy her father's last paintings, but it was more complicated than just saying yes."

This word shows the complexity and challenges involved in dealing with the paintings and the potential buyers. It also foreshadows the complications that may arise as the story unfolds.
