Xu Qianli couldn't be bothered with that bitch Xu Shuman and outright rejected her calls.
But that only made Xu Shuman call several more times.
Unable to take it any longer, Xu Qianli finally answered, "Hello, what do you want?"
"Dear, why are you so angry?"
"My mom said you haven't been home for days and insists you come home for dinner tonight, no matter what. She's gone to the trouble of preparing a whole table of delicious food."
"We've been together for three years, and my parents have long regarded you as a son-in-law. Please, for goodness' sake, come home for dinner tonight."
"Dear, I miss you too. Let me take good care of you tonight, I promise to make you happy, to satisfy you."
"Even the things I used to shy away from, I might agree to tonight."
Xu Shuman's pleasing voice came through, cooing gently, her voice couldn't have been more sickeningly sweet, as if little hands were scratching at Xu Qianli's heart.
