"See you again."
Xiangyang pretended not to hear anything, turned around and called the servants to clean up the broken porcelain shards at the entrance of the study.
...
On the street, when Shuisheng chased after her, Sui Sui had already disappeared without a trace.
"Uncle, do you see a big guy running with a child in his arms?"
"Auntie, have you seen a beggar carrying a three- or four-year-old child running past here?"
With tears streaming down his face, Shui Sheng, as if possessed, headed towards the direction where Sui Sui had disappeared, grabbing anyone he saw and asking them questions.
