Bai Yumiao quickly picked up her phone and, sure enough, she saw her father's image on the screen.
Bai Qingzhu was almost in tears, "Hearing such news all of a sudden, where would I have gone to check my phone? And Dad, Mom, Grandma—they didn't check either. Right, I need to call them."
"Don't bother, I've already called. They all know," he said.
Bai Qingzhu grew angrier, "If that's the case, why didn't you call me? Do you think I wouldn't worry about you?"
She kept pounding on his chest. Xiao Lijin hugged her tightly, "I just wanted to give you a surprise. I'm sorry, Qingzhu, maybe the joke went a bit too far."
Xiao Lijin held her, and Bai Qingzhu could no longer hold back her tears.
"Xiao Lijin, you are a bastard."
Bai Qingzhu never swore, but this time she was so agitated that she blurted out those words.
Bai Yumiao was still quietly giggling below.
Xiao Lijin, however, held her tightly, "You're right, I am a bastard. Go ahead, curse as much as you want."
