CHAPTER 206
Just as they were speaking, Ding Jiaying's phone began to ring. Instinctively, she did not bother to check the caller and just answered the call. All her mind, body and soul was focused on her daughter and nothing else.
"Hello?"
"Honey, how are you?"
"What!" Ding Jiaying paused as her brain processed what she heard. It was then that she pulled the phone from her ears to check the caller. "Oh my!"
"Mum, what is it?" Li Xiu asked when she saw the puzzled look on her mother's face.
"It is your father."
"Father! Whe…"
Ding Jiaying signaled for her daughter to keep quiet and she responded to her husband after taking in a deep breath.
"Li, where have you been? You have forgotten you have a wife and a daughter right?" Her voice held all the sarcasm and quarrel she felt. She did not bother to want to sweet tongue things and just went straight to the point.
