Chapter 525 - Mother Ji comes knocking at the door!
Early in the morning of the next day, Pei Ge was woken up from her slumber by the ringing of her phone.
“Who is it?” She sleepily mumbled this as she rubbed her head. With her eyes still shut tightly, she proceeded to pat around from under her blanket for her phone.
Finally managing to get a hold of her phone, she opened her blurry eyes to look at its screen. She then answered the call while she was still out of it.
“Hello, Qitong. Why are you calling me this early in the morning?”
The girl’s lively voice had a ready answer.
“Hello, Sister Pei Ge! I just wanted to remind you of our plan to go shopping this afternoon!”
“Hah…” She yawned and nodded dreamily. “Okay. I won’t forget it.”
She had to be quick! If she were a little slower, the two women downstairs might really come knocking at her door!
Thinking up to this point, she quickened her movements even more.
Getting ready in a matter of a few minutes, she grabbed her handbag on her way out of the bedroom.
Her mother, who was still at the dining table, was shocked when she saw her daughter heading toward the door in formal clothes.
“Ge Ge, you—”
She did not wait for her mother to finish her question and just quickly answered it.
“Yes, Mom. An emergency cropped up, so I have to leave for a bit.” She nodded hurriedly as she made her way to the door.
“Huh? What emergency? You haven’t had your lunch yet!” Her mother was perplexed to see her move to leave.
“It’s fine; I’ll just grab something to eat on the way. Mom, let’s talk when I get back!”
By the time she finished speaking, she was already done putting on her outdoor shoes and exited the house in a flash.
Left behind by herself, Zhang Manhua was extremely confused.
What exactly happened for that lass to be so flustered?
