Qiao Xi walked closer, gaining a clearer view.
It really was Xiang Mingzhu.
Beside her was a woman with an elegant demeanor, constantly soothing her in a gentle voice.
The two drew nearer and nearer.
Qiao Xi began to hear their voices.
"Mingzhu, don't be afraid. Mommy won't abandon you. We're just here to see the doctor, and once you're treated, we'll leave the Imperial Capital," Lu Yutong said softly, holding Xiang Mingzhu's hand.
Xiang Mingzhu seemed to deliberately defy her, flinging her hand away.
She bolted.
"Mingzhu! Wait for Mommy! Don't run around!" Lu Yutong followed desperately behind, panting.
Qiao Xi saw Xiang Mingzhu running in her direction and called out, "Old Chen."
Old Chen understood her meaning and reached out to block Xiang Mingzhu's path.
"Let go of me, villain! Let go…" Xiang Mingzhu, devoid of her former arrogance, tried to bite Old Chen's hand. But handling a frail young socialite was no difficulty for Old Chen, as he effortlessly subdued her.
