Yang Ruqin refused to give up. She called her brother again, but he didn't pick up. She frowned and attempted to do it again, but before she could, her mother called her first. Her face became visibly pale upon seeing the picture of her mother flash on her phone. She swallowed the lump in her throat and nervously looked at Zhao Lifei.
"M-my mom is calling…" She whispered as if she was scared of getting caught for doing something bad.
"Pick it up then." Zhao Lifei said, knowing the more Ruqin made her mother wait, the more Madam Yang would be infuriated.
Yang Ruqin looked at her nervously. "Can you pick it up for me—" The phone stopped ringing. She let out a sigh of relief, only to panic again when her father's contact flashed.
"Oh my god, its my dad!" She yelped, nearly tossing the phone to the other side of the room.
"Just pick it up Ruqin, they'll continue to call if you don't." Zhao Lifei said.
