Such news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the parents.
Madam Bai broke down in tears while the servants around her were at a loss for what to do.
Father Bai remained silent, standing by his wife's side, able only to offer silent comfort.
At this moment, Uncle Liu slowly approached, holding Bai Yuejie's cellphone with a grave expression, saying, "Mr., Madam, the last call the young miss made lasted five minutes. It was with Mr. Shi."
Mr. Bai's face had turned ashen. He turned and took the cellphone from Uncle Liu's hand. Sure enough, it was Shi Lingyan's number.
Five minutes—an ample time where anything could have been said.
Mr. Bai also knew of his daughter's infatuation with Shi Lingyan. Considering her recent attentiveness to Shi Lingyan and her actions of rushing to the Shi Family whenever she had free time, Mr. Bai speculated that she might have said something she shouldn't have, receiving not only an unwanted response but also hearing some unbearable words.
