Grandma Shen was taken aback when the call abruptly ended with Secretary Tang. In the blink of an eye, the line went dead.
"Could it be? Did Secretary Tang just dismiss my call?" Grandma Shen's eyes ballooned in astonishment, her voice echoing her disbelief.
"It certainly appears so, Madam," Aunt Yao responded.
Feng Xi's tears, which stopped a few moments ago, started streaming down again. She felt anguished inside. "I've decided to leave this house," she said while wiping the tears from the back of her palm.
"Xiao Xi!" Grandma Shen called her name in disbelief. "You cannot leave this house when it's yours. Perhaps Yu Han is busy with some important work. Remember, it's a business trip for him. Secretary Tang hardly does that. I'll find out where Yu Han is!"
