Old Zhou's continuous nagging lasted for over an hour, until Xiang Qichen swiped the card and came in.
Zhou Huaiyi, who had been sitting listlessly by the bed listening to Old Zhou's lecture, straightened her back upon seeing Xiang Qichen return. She quickly gestured towards the phone call and mouthed the words "My dad!"
Xiang Qichen raised an eyebrow, and instead of heading to the bathroom as he intended, he walked over to her.
"Uh... Dad, Dad," Zhou Huaiyi interrupted, "Qichen is back. Do you want to say a few words to him?"
Upon hearing this, Old Zhou paused and suddenly lowered his voice, saying, "Let him come talk."
Zhou Huaiyi handed the phone over, and Xiang Qichen calmly took it, "Hello, Uncle."
Old Zhou cleared his throat, put on an authoritative tone, and asked skeptically, "You're that celebrity?"
Xiang Qichen gave a humble smile, "It's just a job to make a living."
There was a brief silence before he asked, "You're not a scammer, are you?"
