"Yao Tang, do you not understand how crucial this is for our family? Do you think listing you under some distant relative was easy? It's to keep Yao Ran's position in this society. She's so smart and talented–for her to be wasted like this..."
Qin Man didn't hear Yao Tang's comment at first. However, when she realized what the country bumpkin had said, she froze. Her face paled and stiffened, looking as if she had been struck by lightning.
Even Yao Ran had also stiffened at the words.
Tears trickled down her face, and her hands trembled at her sides.
"So it really is my fault," she whispered. Tears continuously ran down her cheeks as she regarded her sister with both pity and vulnerability. "Fine, I'll leave. Just don't be angry with Mom, please."
