Ms. Qian's expression twitched, and she could only pull Xing'er away with her.
Shanzi watched them, his expression shifting as he clenched his fists.
Shanzimama spat on the ground beside her. "Pah! She should take a look at her own daughter before trying to climb that social ladder. In her dreams!"
Even after her mother pulled her back, Xing'er was still in a daze.
'What on earth was Mom doing?'
'Saying something about making his bed?'
'Even a young girl like me knows how inappropriate that sounds!'
Remembering how that young master hadn't even bothered to look up at them, a flash of shame and anger crossed Xing'er's face. She flung off her mother's hand and ran into the darkness.
Ms. Qian frowned but didn't go after her, turning instead to pack her things.
Shanzi watched Xing'er run into the darkness, then gritted his teeth and ran after her. Shanzimama yelled from behind, "Shanzi, where are you going? Stay out of the dark!"
