The call came from Xu Jiamu's mother, Han Ruchu.
After Qiao Anhao and Lu Jinnian got married, Han Ruchu rarely called her, but when she did, she needed Lu Jinnian to pretend to be Xu Jiamu.
Qiao Anhao grabbed her phone and walked towards the balcony. She opened the windows. The breezy night wind blew in. She casually picked up the phone, and said, "Aunt Xu."
Even though to outsiders it looked like she was already married to Xu Jiamu and should call Han Ruchu "Mom", as Xu Jiamu's wife, but they knew it was really an agreement. And so, when she was not acting, Qiao Anhao would always call Han Ruchu "Aunt Xu".
Han Ruchu's voice sounded dignified and contrived. At first, she showed Qiao Anhao some care, "Qiao Qiao, have you eaten dinner?"
"Yes, I have," Qiao Anhao answered politely. She also politely asked in reply, "Aunt Xu, and you?"
