"I've taken her calls before. She's…" Yang Liu'er was beginning to enjoy her studies and had grown quite fond of the night school. She was in the middle of an enthusiastic conversation with Bai Qingyue when the sudden question threw her. She didn't switch gears fast enough, and by the time she realized her mistake, she had already blurted out half an answer. It was too late.
"Who is she?" Bai Qingyue smiled, her gaze encouraging. Steeling herself, Yang Liu'er continued, "She said her last name was Wu… Last time… she called then, too, but Second Uncle Bai wasn't home!"
In this life, this was actually the first time Tang Yaxuan's mother had called. Since Yang Liu'er had claimed to have taken her call before, she had no choice but to invent a "last time."
That was all Bai Qingyue needed. She didn't press for details or even look at Yang Liu'er again, simply standing up and walking toward Bai Lihua's study.
