Xia Ningxing covered her mouth and chuckled, "Lu is just shy."
"But sister, I think what that kid said makes sense. Should we ask Xia to investigate his sister's best friend?" the eldest brother rubbed his chin, pondering aloud.
"Of course, I'll call Xia right now and talk to him about it," Xia Ningxing said as she rushed inside, fetched Mrs. Xia's cellphone, and called Xia Jiehao.
"Bao'er?"
Soon, a low and pleasant middle-aged man's voice came through from the other end.

Before her stepfather and mother got married, she would never have called Xia Shufang 'Aunt Xia'.
