Even if there was only a little hope, he was unwilling to give up. Moreover, he had people dig in the ruins again and again, but did not find the Xiao family, which meant that the Xiao family was not killed.
He just didn't know where they were going. The world was so big, as long as he didn't give up, he would always find them.
Now all the refugees have fled all the way to Jeju, and I believe the Xiao family is no exception, it’s just that his people happened not to meet them.
He also didn't want to miss the opportunity to meet Miss Xiao again.
The people under him could only follow the Second Young Master's instructions and send more people to look for him.
When Su Yanqing was the only one left in the room, he felt inexplicably irritated, so he stood up, walked to the window, opened it, and let the cold wind in.
The room is on the third floor with a great view, and you can see the hustle and bustle of the street below.
The cold wind blowing on his face made him feel a little more awake and his depressed mood was slightly relieved.
At this time, Jiang Sui and Xiao Lanlan happened to walk out side by side from a jewelry store across the street. They bought a few affordable small bead flowers and talked and laughed.
It was this unintentional glance that allowed Su Yanqing to recognize Xiao Lanlan at a glance.
Although she had changed her clothes, he would not mistake that figure.
For a moment, he was filled with joy and surprise. Without saying a word, he ran downstairs and pushed the door open suddenly, startling the two servants guarding outside.
They only saw that their second young master, who was usually as gentle as jade and as kind as the moon and breeze, lost his composure in public for the first time.
He ran so fast that his steps made a banging sound on the stairs. The guests who were dining and drinking tea downstairs all looked at him in confusion.
Su Yanqing didn't dare to stop or delay, so he didn't care what others thought of him. He just wanted to make sure whether he had admitted his mistake.
Fortunately, Jiang Sui and his sister-in-law Lan Lan were out shopping and were not in a hurry to go back, so they walked slowly. They were discussing where to go to eat something delicious to fill their stomachs.
The only thing left in Su Yanqing's eyes was the lavender figure. The closer he got to him, the more certain he became.
"Miss Xiao!" he called out from behind, but Xiao Lanlan seemed not to hear it because it was a bit noisy on the street.
So he shouted twice again without giving up. Xiao Lanlan thought she was hallucinating because she seemed to hear Su Yanqing calling her.
His voice was also familiar to her, and very special to her.
Jiang Sui had already turned around. She saw Su Yanqing behind her, so she reminded Xiao Lanlan beside her:
"Lanlan, it's the Second Young Master Su!"
When Xiao Lanlan heard this name, she turned around in disbelief, and Su Yanqing had already walked over.
Because he had been chasing for a distance, his chest was slightly heaving due to the urgency.
"Miss Xiao, Madam Jiang, is it really you?" He could hardly control the excitement in his tone.
Xiao Lanlan turned around and looked at him. She was also quite surprised, but didn't know what to say.
The two of them just stared at each other, and Jiang Sui felt that he was a little redundant, like a 200-watt light bulb.
Su Yanqing saw the hairpin in her hair. It was the one he gave her. Now she wore it on her head. Does that mean that she also has him in her heart?
Jiang Sui felt that the street was not a good place to talk, so he suggested:
"How about we find a place to sit and have some tea and chat slowly?"
Su Yanqing was reminded of this and finally reacted, and said quickly:
"Oh, by the way, I have booked a private room in the teahouse at the back. If Madam Jiang and Miss Xiao don't mind, please come with me to the teahouse and have some snacks and tea!"
Xiao Lanlan glanced at Jiang Sui, but she didn't dare to nod and agree without permission.
It might not be convenient for the two of them, one a married woman and the other an unmarried girl, to stay in the same room with a man.
Su Yanqing also realized this and quickly changed the subject:
"We can find a private seat in the lobby downstairs."
This is Su Yanqing's sense of propriety, which comes from his upbringing in a wealthy family since childhood, and he is polite and well-mannered.
This was feasible, so Jiang Sui agreed, and the two followed Su Yanqing back to the teahouse.
He found a relatively quiet seat in the lobby on the first floor and sat down, then ordered a pot of good tea and some exquisite snacks.
When the dim sum was served, the presentation was exquisite and beautiful. It only cost four pieces, but it was sold for dozens of coins per plate.
"Miss Xiao, Madam Jiang, please try them. These desserts are all specialties of Jeju Prefecture and they taste very good. Please take a look. There are bamboo sticks in the bamboo tube with the names of the desserts on them. If you like any of them, just order them."
"Second Master Su, thank you for your expense. This is enough. No need to be so polite." Jiang Sui declined with a smile.
Su Yanqing also understood, so he didn't say anything more.
Xiao Lanlan's heart has been beating irregularly since she saw Su Yanqing again. She couldn't tell whether she was panicking or nervous. Anyway, she didn't dare to look Su Yanqing in the eye, so she kept drinking water to cover up her unnaturalness.
And Su Yanqing also looked at her from time to time. She lowered her head, so he could only look at the hairpin on her head.
"After hearing about the earthquake in Baima Town, I immediately sent people to Baima Town to look for your family. However, when my people arrived, there was no trace of you. Then I searched along the official road to Jeju, but still couldn't find you. I also searched for you in the refugee camp outside the city for a few times, but still couldn't get any good news. But I didn't expect that your family had successfully entered Jeju Prefecture."
Su Yanqing ignored all the sadness of looking for someone and simply described it briefly. As long as they were fine, that would be the best outcome.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Sui briefly recounted what happened to her family after the earthquake.
"We were lucky. Because of the landslide on the mountain behind us, we moved out the night before and took our household registration documents and some important valuables with us. That's how we escaped. Our home was in such a state, and we had nowhere to go, so we were the first group to come to Jeju for refuge. Now we have found a place to live, and our life has temporarily stabilized. Today, I had some free time to go out for a walk, and I didn't expect to run into Mr. Su. What a coincidence."
"Yes, I was drinking tea upstairs. When I went to the window to get some fresh air, I happened to see you two coming out of the jewelry store opposite. I thought I had seen you wrongly, so I rashly followed you. Fortunately, I was not mistaken. Seeing that you are safe, I am relieved. By the way, can I find a day to visit you in person and ask about the well-being of Uncle Xiao, Aunt Xiao, and the brothers and sisters-in-law?"
He always remembered the Xiao family's life-saving grace to him, and he should repay the life-saving grace with gratitude. There was not much he could do, but the Xiao family had already arrived in Jeju, and he was a native of Jeju Prefecture, so he was considered the host and should pay them a visit.
