Chapter 916: Mei Feng’s True Colors (5)

Xia Nuannuan was stunned for a moment. The voice was too familiar, even though it was through the internet and there could have been a slight distortion.

But Xia Nuannuan had spoken on the phone with Qiao Lian so many times, she could tell right away that it was Qiao Lian’s voice.

She spun around immediately and walked to the boy, asking, “Who’s that on the livestream you’re watching?”

“Lian—”

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Nuannuan’s cell phone rang and interrupted the boy.

She frowned and looked down at her cell phone, intending to further question the boy about Qiao Lian. However, after she saw the incoming call, she froze for a second.

Because the caller was none other than her uncle.

Her uncle rarely called her. Could it be that something had happened?

At this thought, she picked up the call. She immediately heard her uncle’s voice through the line, “Nuannuan, have your parents called to let you know they’re okay?”

Xia Nuannuan paused and asked, “What do you mean by letting me know they’re okay?”

“Oh, you didn’t know? There’s a typhoon! This year’s typhoon is worse than usual. Almost half of the buildings in XX city have fallen, and the trees and plants too. And it has killed many people who refused to evacuate! It seems like the death toll is above ten now. I’ve tried calling your parents, but I couldn’t get through! Sigh… When the typhoon alert came, I called them and asked them to come over to help them, but they wouldn’t listen…”

Xia Nuannuan could not hear what he said after this.

She felt as though thunder had crashed by her ears. “Uncle, you- what did you say?”

Their home was in XX city.

Besides, her parents lived by the beach, because Shen Zihao had bought a beachfront property.

That was the most dangerous spot!

“Nuannuan, if your parents call you, you must remember to inform me!”

“Ok.” Xia Nuannuan hung up hurriedly. With trembling hands, she dialed her parents’ number. But the call wouldn’t connect, implying the absence of a signal.

At once, she started to panic.

She picked up her cell phone, turned to Weibo and started to read news related to the typhoon.

This year’s typhoon had been worse than all of the other times.

And the most affected area had been the neighbourhood where Dad and Mom had been living.

The news said that a hundred-year-old tree in their district had even been uprooted. It had crashed against some houses and they did not know how many people had been killed!

Xia Nuannuan’s hands froze.

When Xia Yehua noticed how distraught she was, she asked the girl, “What happened?”

Xia Nuannuan lifted her head and looked blankly back at Xia Yehua. “Mom, what do I do? My Dad and Mom… what do I do?”

Xia Yehua frowned immediately and said, “Ask Zihao to come! Hurry up!”

Xia Nuannuan’s tears rolled down her cheeks as she said, “Zihao has gone on a business trip! He’s abroad. Right now, he should be on the plane!”

Xia Yehua looked at her anxiously and patted the back of her hand. “Don’t panic, although typhoons are destructive, in reality the death toll each year is not that high. Besides, the country has already taken the necessary preventive measures, so don’t panic.”

At this point, Xia Yehua said to her, “Hurry, go home. Go home and wait for your parents’ call!”

At the same time, in the Shen family residence.

Mei Feng was in the living room watching TV when the home phone suddenly rang.

She walked over and picked it up. From the other end, a loud and clear voice sounded amidst static noise. “Hello? Is that one of the in-laws on the phone?”
