"You make it sound so magical. You can make calls on the road? Even while walking? I find that hard to believe. Let me try."
Lin Shuying found it incredible. She saw the numbers on the black brick and quickly began to press them, dialing the Sun Family's home number.
"It's not ringing. There isn't even a sound, and I can't hear anyone talking. It doesn't work. Did I break it when I dropped it?"
Lin Shuying held the phone, unable to hear anything, her face etched with anxiety. This thing cost over twenty thousand yuan! If she had really broken it, the thought alone was enough to kill her.
Gu'er and Zheng Changsheng both laughed.
