Wang Jianguo said from the other end of the line, "Wang Han, are you at the old house right now?"
"Yes, what's up?"
"You mentioned Zhao Dong was back? Is he home now?"
Wang Han looked puzzled and glanced at Zhao Dong. "Why are you asking?"
There was a moment of silence before Wang Jianguo said, "Wang Han, Dad needs you to do something. Please turn on the speakerphone. I need to talk to him."
Wang Han was stunned. "Dad, are you out of your mind?" she asked in disbelief. "What could you possibly have to say to him? No, I refuse! Our family should cut off all ties with his!"
"Shut up! Do as I say!" Wang Jianguo was clearly furious.
Wang Han's defiance vanished. Reluctantly, she turned on the speakerphone and said to Zhao Dong in a huff, "My dad wants to say a few words to you."
Zhao Dong replied coldly, "No need. Your family is too noble for the likes of us."
