She felt a chill in her heart, instantly realizing that if she really called elder Mr. Gu's landline, Lu Zhanbei would get upset.
What should she do?
After pondering for a bit, she finally had a clever idea and proactively looked at him asking, "Lu Zhanbei, can I borrow your phone to make a call?"
"Of course!"
It felt like he had been waiting for her to say those words. Almost immediately, his black business phone was pulled out...
She carefully took the phone and with a blush, she thanked him before turning around and running away with the phone.

"Sorry, Mom! I should have called you earlier..."
"Yes! I'm doing really well here."
"Uncle Gu Baichuan is very nice and treats me well."
"I know, I won't cause too much trouble..."
"Okay, I understand, I won't worry you anymore!"
She spoke on the phone for a long time, mostly saying things to reassure her mother, but she always avoided directly responding to her mother's urge for her to come home quickly.
