When Mei Feng realized it was Dad Xia, she became impatient.
Besides, the line was noisy and had static interferences, which was annoying to hear.
Mei Feng frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Dad Xia's voice came over the line again, asking, "Is Nuannuan at home?"
"No, she's not."
"Oh, it's okay if she's not. There is a long queue here to call our families to inform them that we're okay. I've tried reaching her on her cell phone, but I couldn't get through, hence I've called your home. May I trouble you to let Nuannuan know that her Mom and I are both fine? She does not need to worry."
Mei Feng gave a cold chortle and said, "Ok."
Without waiting to hear anything else from the other party, she hung up the phone with a firm click.
She continued to watch TV, holding a toothpick in one hand and eating the pieces of fruit that had been placed on the coffee table.
As she ate, she suddenly heard a car stopping at the driveway.
