The near-silence was abruptly broken by a dog's bark, drawing the attention of everyone present.
Old Madam Fu and Mu Luzhu turned their heads simultaneously to look.
Mu Qingli's expression was indifferent as she handed the phone to Mu Luzhu, reminding her, "Fourth Sister, your phone is ringing."
Mu Luzhu snapped back to reality and smilingly said, "Thank you, Fifth Sister." As she took the phone, her tone was gentle, "Hello, good morning."
There was no response from the other end of the phone.
The barking of the dog grew fainter.
Mu Luzhu looked at the pitch-black phone screen, puzzled, "Fifth Sister, did you make a mistake? The phone isn't in a call..."
Hearing this, Old Madam Fu turned her head towards Mu Qingli with a complicated expression.
"Hmm?" Mu Qingli slightly raised her eyebrows, a hint of confusion flashing through her delicate eyes.
