"Oh dear, I'm so sorry!" Aunt Cen continued her act, "Look at this old woman of mine, I'm useless now! I can't even hold a phone properly, this..."
"It's alright, Aunt Cen," Huo Zhixin said, trying to smooth things over. "Actually, Shaoqing's phone really isn't working very well, and I was just about to buy him a new one..."
