She looked the boy up and down.
His clothes were made of fine fabric, indicating that his family was not poor; at the very least, he was the young master of a wealthy family.
How could a rich man's son be abandoned?
"Did your parents have a fight? Don't cry here. I'll have someone take you to the government office. Go there and wait for them to come find you."
Gu Jiangli stood up and reached out her hand, wanting to lead him away.
But the boy kept his head down and didn't respond to her.
