"Mom, I'm back."
Xia Zhiqiu heard the voice and came out. "Ah, it's Lulu…" She was holding a phone, her tone somewhat hesitant.
"Who is it?" Xia Lu made a gesture with her mouth, pointed at the phone, and asked quietly.
"Hold on," Xia Zhiqiu picked up the phone again, "Lulu is back, do you want to talk to her?" The person on the other side of the phone clearly agreed, and she handed the phone over.
Xia Lu glanced at the screen, which only displayed a number and no name, suggesting that it was a stranger.
"Hello, who's this?"
"Lulu, it's your dad."
In an elegant, upscale restaurant, Xia Lu and Xia Zhiqiu were shown into a private room.
"Please wait a moment." The waiter said and then left.
Xia Lu felt uncomfortable all over, and turning her head, she saw that her mother was actually wearing a long-treasured dress only worn on special occasions, which only added to her unease.
