No one picked up the call. She hung up and dialed again, repeating the process numerous times before Li Manman finally gave up.
She squatted down on the villa's doorstep, tears dripping down as her emotions felt like a roller coaster. She had only been out for a few hours, so how could she not get back inside?
Li Manman, tearful and blurry-eyed, dialed Fu Bin's number on her phone. It rang for quite some time before someone picked up.
"Manman, what made you think of calling me?"
Fu Bin stepped out of the noisy private room, took out his lighter, and lit the cigarette hanging at the corner of his mouth.
Li Manman's voice was heavy with nasal sobs: "Did you say you'd help me pursue Feng Yi?"
Fu Bin smiled slyly and glanced back at the room: "Rejected again?"
Li Manman recounted the situation to Fu Bin, feeling wronged, and asked him for advice.
