A smile popped up on her face, and her fingers trembled with excitement.
Sure enough, she was still Qin Man's favorite. Her mother had probably realized how poorly she had treated Yao Ran earlier, and sent a message to comfort her beloved daughter.
Yao Ran quickly opened the chat box.
However, as soon as she read the words on her screen, she felt as though a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head.
Her mother had not texted to comfort her, after all.
Just when she thought she still had a foothold in her parents' hearts, Qin Man crushed her hopes and plunged her even deeper into the shadows.
Yao Ran's upper lip curled into a sneer. That was, until her mother's message fully sank in.
Then her palms began to sweat, and her heart quickened its pace.
Yao Ran hastily sent a reply.
"Why are you asking me this, Mom? Is my invitation card missing?"
