Shen Xian didn't linger in Jiangliu Restaurant for long. After several attempts, Liao Wan made a call to another mobile number that Qin Shi had given her.
"Xiao Shi says that she's now part of the management at the company, and she often gets busy with work. She can't always check her phone or might miss our messages when she's occupied. So, she got us a family plan number that we use to contact each other on regular days."
Liao Wan's smile was gentle, and the call was quickly connected.
"Hello, Xiao Shi, are you busy right now?"
Once the call connected, Liao Wan asked gently and affectionately on the other end of the line.
"Mama Bai, I'm a bit busy right now, what's up?" Qin Shi's tone was clearly puzzled as she had just left the restaurant not long ago. Usually, Mama Bai rarely reached out to her. She'd at most send a WeChat message and wait for her to call back or reply when she had time.
