Very quickly, the line was connected and Qiao Yi's voice answered, "Sis, what's up?"
She suddenly started to cry again at the sound of his familiar voice.
She could not figure out this tangle of emotions herself, but the moment she opened her mouth to speak, she sobbed, "Xiao Yi."
The voice on the other end of the line sounded immediately anxious and asked, "Sis, what's the matter? Did someone give you a hard time? Or have you run out of pocket money? Calm down and tell me. I have money and I can wire funds to you—"
Before he could finish what he was saying, Qiao Lian interrupted.
She quickly said, "No, it's not that. Qiao Yi, Dad and Mom, their names have been cleared."
The line was silent for a moment after she said this. The next moment, Qiao Yi's excited voice said, "Sis, is that true?"
"It's true."
"Sis."
"Yes?"
"Just cry and let it out. I'm here, I hear you."
