The caller was her university classmate, from the same dorm room. Generally, girls from the same dorm tend to be close friends, confiding everything to each other. However, there is always an exception, and the current caller, Li Qian, was precisely that exception.
Every time she received a call from her, it was never good news. Subconsciously, Ling Chuxia did not want to answer it, but since Li Qian's husband was a local tycoon and had a slight familial connection with the Shi Family, and Li Qian's mother-in-law and Mrs. Shi were card-playing buddies who met from time to time, maintaining a surface calm was compulsory even though she was reluctant to interact with Li Qian.
Ling Chuxia took a deep breath, cleared her throat, picked up her cell phone, pressed the answer button, and put it to her ear, greeting the caller with a soft "Hello."
Her voice was a bit husky and nasal from crying, and although she tried to disguise it, Li Qian still sensed something was off.
