"As long as you understand. Some things really can't be helped." Su Mei suppressed the anger she felt toward Su Qing and heaved a theatrical sigh. Then she turned to Wu Tao with a smile and said, "Let's go. We can look around somewhere else."
'As for Su Qing's situation, I'll ask Mom and Dad when I get home,' Su Mei decided. 'Something must have happened at the old residence. How could Su Qing just suddenly split from the family? Would Grandma even allow that?'
"Let me buy you some candy." Wu Tao was interested in Su Mei, so he was being quite generous.
"Oh, I couldn't possibly." Su Mei put on an embarrassed expression.
"It's nothing." Wu Tao chuckled and bought a pound of fruit drops, and even got Su Mei half a pound of White Rabbit candies.
After Su Mei and Wu Tao left, the sales clerk watched them go, pursed her lips, and quietly started gossiping with a coworker about what had just happened.
