"Doesn't seem like it, how could a foreigner speak such good Chinese?" Qi Mei laughed, and suddenly reached out to take her hand, "Young lady, shall I read your palm?"
Tong Ran felt a bit awkward, and withdrew her hand, "No need, thank you."
Qi Mei wasn't bothered by her indifference, and asked again, "Young lady, what's your last name?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"I think you look quite like a relative's daughter," Qi Mei's gaze never left her face, "I'm just asking."
"Then that relative of yours must be dead?" Tong Ran walked over to the flower railing and fiddled with it, "I have no parents, you've got the wrong person."
Qi Mei felt a pang in her heart, just hearing her say that felt painful, she walked over and lightly patted Tong Ran's shoulder, "My daughter too, she went missing when she was very young."
Hearing this, Tong Ran paused in her actions, "You never went looking for her?"
Qi Mei choked back her tears, "I did... but I couldn't find her."
