Qi Lei nodded and rushed past them to chase after Su Yue with no hesitation .
Xuxu nudged Yan Rusheng . “There is no need, Ah Sheng . Finding Su Yue is more important . I’m afraid that she might do something foolish . ”
She was anxious as she looked ahead . By then, she wasn’t able to catch sight of the tiny figure .
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find her,” reassured Yan Rusheng . He then sprinted away .
Mu Li caught up, and she stopped beside Xuxu . She tightly clenched on Xuxu’s arm . “Xuxu, let us go back first . ”
However, Xuxu was still worried as she stared into the distance . “Su Yue is different from us . ”
“I know, and it’s heart wrenching to hear those words from her . ”
Mu Li recounted what Qi Lei had said earlier on, and when she finished, Xuxu’s eyes were glistening .
Yueyue’s personality confined herself to her own world, and she refused to open up to others . Except for herself, she hadn’t seen Su Yue interacting with anyone else .
She was so afraid of First Aunt, and she didn’t even dare to be around her whenever First Aunt was in the house . And yet, the lady had the gall to say all those things to her .
Xuxu had no idea how hard Su Yue must have struggled before coming to the country . It must have taken her a tremendous amount of courage before coming to such a decision .
Xuxu’s heart ached for the little girl, but she felt that First Aunt wasn’t entirely wrong . Her husband had committed adultery, and he even had a pair of illegitimate children born out of it . And even though it was beyond anyone’s tolerance, he still had the gall to bring them into the family .
Her own son had committed a crime to seek revenge against his own father, and any mother would have turned hysterical .
Xuxu agreed that Jiang Qinglian was right—First Uncle was the main reason Second Brother had made such a mistake .
Mu Li interrupted her thoughts . “Third Yan is searching for her . Don’t worry so much . ”
Xuxu nodded and before she went back with Mu Li, she threw another worried glance at the road .
When they got back, Jiang Qinglian and Jin Qianqian weren’t in the living room anymore . Only Yan Weihong was there .
He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Xuxu . “Where is the girl?”
“Third Yan went after her . ” Mu Li continued, “Nothing will happen if he is around . ”
Xuxu nodded and stole a glance upstairs before her eyes landed casually on Grandmother’s portrait .
All the family members gathered together, yet everything had changed .
She helplessly sighed as Mu Li pulled her towards the couch .
“Su Yue, stop running!”
Su Yue dashed across the road and it scared the wits out of Qi Lei and Yan Rusheng . It was only when she safely crossed the road did they breathe easy once more .
Qi Lei swiftly crossed the road . He was an agile and athletic man, and he would naturally be faster than a young girl who was limping .
He caught up with Su Yue and held on to her tightly .
Yan Rusheng reached them shortly, and he grabbed Su Yue’s wrist . He looked at her as she bowed her head . Yan Rusheng couldn’t read her expression .
He hasn’t entirely gotten over his shock and he couldn’t help but give her a gentle lecture . “There were so many cars on the road, do you know how dangerous it was?”
Su Yue didn’t speak but Yan Rusheng saw tears leaking from her eyes .
It startled him . “Yueyue, don’t be sad . ”
He consoled her and hugged her tightly .
Yan Rusheng’s hug had surprised Su Yue, but rather than being apprehensive, she felt it was strange and unfamiliar .
