HOMEWRECKER

Hu Lei did not leave home right away after Zhong Feng left for work. She spent a couple of hours going through the feedback from Bo Qian and editing the manuscript for her new book. She was relieved to find that her editor liked her new story.

Once she completed the work, she prepared to leave the house and meet up with the in-laws.

As she was finishing dressing up, she received a call from an unknown number. She frowned at the phone before picking the call with caution. Her feelings of foreboding had returned, so she did not speak immediately after accepting.

"Hu Lei, it's Zhong Mian." A female voice came through.

Hu Lei sighed in relief.

Perhaps Ah-Feng was right. She needed to relax. They had faced so many challenges along the way, and they were almost free of the burden of looking over their shoulders. She could not always be so nervous and cautious.

"Oh, hi. I was just about to head out to the old house." She responded.
