Lin Xi's face flushed a deep crimson.
Xue Yang took the phone and appeared on the screen.
"Mom, weren't you looking for me?"
Zhong Hailan said bluntly, "I was, but not anymore. Scoot over. I want to talk to my daughter-in-law."
"?"
Lin Xi pushed Xue Yang away. Her beautiful, smiling face appeared on the screen. "Auntie, did you need something?"
"Oh, right, what's your name?"
"Auntie, my name is Lin Xi. You can call me Xiao Xi."
"Xiao Xi, have you eaten the salt-baked chicken Auntie cooked for you?"
"Not yet."
"What? Did that stinky boy eat it all himself? Point the camera at him; Auntie will teach him a lesson for you."
Zhong Hailan rolled up her sleeves, looking for all the world like she was sharpening a knife, ready to give Xue Yang a piece of her mind if he were standing in front of her.
Startled, Xue Yang quickly explained from the side, "Mom, we were just about to eat when your call came through! We haven't had a chance yet."
