"Foster father? I'm her biological father!"
"Sir, as far as I know, Ning Xi has broken off contact with her biological parents."
Ning Yaohua stormed away and spoke quietly, "You're her manager. How can you listen to that nonsense? Get Xiao Xi on the phone right now!"
"I'm sorry, Sir, everyone around her knows that Ning Xi won't take private calls when she's working."

Ning Yaohua was enraged when the line went dead.
Ning Xueluo saw a light of hope when she noticed the darkened expression on Ning Yaohua. "Father, what's wrong?"
"Nothing…" Ning Yaohua would never reveal how a little manager had just talked back to him over the phone. He changed the topic quickly. "Xiao Xi's not free to pick up my call right now."
Ning Xueluo acted like she understood. "Sister's really popular now. It's not odd that she's busy. It'd probably be difficult for her to join us…"
