"I've been a bit busy lately. Oh right, how's she doing?"
"Thanks for your concern, she's not dead yet."
Dongfang Ling said this as if she, Dongfang Ling, was the one hurt, and Xue Yu had nothing to do with it.
Bai Qingzhu laughed a little and explained, "I joined a design competition, so I've been busy with that lately."
Dongfang Ling looked surprised, "I heard about that competition. Did you enter for jewelry design?"
"No."
"No?"
Dongfang Ling's voice rose a few octaves.
She knew Bai Qingzhu had always liked jewelry, so how could she not design jewelry? This was really odd.
"So what did you design?"
"Cars."
"Cars?"
Dongfang Ling sounded like a repeating record.
"Yeah, when I was pregnant and at home, I had nothing to do, so I researched cars out of boredom. I didn't expect an opportunity like this to come along, so I designed a car. I'm planning to give it to Lijin, so I'm counting on you to keep your mouth shut. I don't want him to find out; I want to surprise him."
