Cell phone charges apply to both incoming and outgoing calls, though they were all paid for with money provided by Baili Chengye. Still, Qi Xinrou felt the sting. Wouldn't it be better to save those funds for something else? And who would waste their money listening to an old woman go on and on, lecturing without end?
Anyway, the call she was making right now wasn't from her phone, so Qi Xinrou casually placed it back where it belonged.
The phone vibrated incessantly, its annoying ringing so penetrating that even burying her head under the covers didn't help. Finally, she gave in, reluctantly got up, half made-up, and then the thought struck her—if Baili Chengye's mother couldn't reach him, she might call her instead. Qi Xinrou quickly grabbed her phone and turned it off.
