Su Jiaojiao threatened Xie Minmin by pressing her hand on Minmin's lower back, signaling her not to make any rash moves.
"Think about your auntie at home."
Xie Minmin steadied her mind, trying to calm herself down.
"The ladyboss knows me, if I don't answer this call, she'd find it strange."
Su Jiaojiao figured Minmin couldn't cause any trouble under her watch, so she pushed her forward, indicating that she should quickly leave after taking the call.
Xie Minmin picked up the phone and said hello.
"Minmin, it's me, Anning. Did you receive my letter?"
Hearing Lin Anning's familiar voice, Xie Minmin's throat choked up, nearly breaking into tears.
Her fingers nervously coiled around the phone cord as she glanced at the ladyboss.
The ladyboss seemed not to understand the plea in Xie Minmin's eyes and went straight to the back to cook.
Just like that, the opportunity to seek help vanished.
Xie Minmin composed herself, then suddenly thought of something.
