Xia Ning went silent for a while and picked up the call.
"Hello, Xiao Ke!" Shen Tianlang's voice came from the phone immediately.
"Yes," Xia Ning answered softly.
"Sorry."
Xia Ning leaned against the couch and asked, "Why are you apologizing to me?"
"I didn't expect someone to use my resignation to throw dirt at you."
"It's not your fault," Xia Ning said calmly. "So you don't have to take responsibility for others' mistakes."
"But…"
Xia Ning closed her eyes slightly and did not speak.
"My mother is missing. I can't find her anywhere," Shen Tianlang said suddenly.
"You think I hid her?" Xia Ning asked back.
"No, it's not like that." Shen Tianlang's voice on the phone sounded anxious as if he was afraid she would misunderstand. "Xiao Ke, my mother has been holding a grudge against the Shen Group getting stolen. That's why she went overboard. I hope you don't mind."
