Manman knew that if she called back, Jiang Mei wouldn't pick up the phone, and besides, Jiang Mei needed to talk with her own husband - this was something Manman couldn't get involved in at the moment.
Lin Jiajing, who had overheard their conversation, found it strange: "Sister Manman?"
"Jiajing, don't spread any word about what you've just heard," Manman instructed her.
Lin Jiajing nodded while puzzled.
After a couple of knocks at the door, someone pushed it open, revealing a tall, white figure, graceful like a fairy in white. Upon closer inspection, it was Master Yao.
