Yao Ran was delighted.
Yang Nian's silence was exactly what she had wanted.
She didn't need Yang Nian to stand up and defend her. The only thing she needed was for him to stay silent and refuse to speak up for Yao Tang.
This was the first step. Now that he'd come to know Yao Tang's true face, he'd naturally stay away from her. The corners of her lips twitched up into a smirk, but she hid it immediately.
"You think that I'm responsible for this?" Yao Tang finally looked up, raising her eyebrows.
"It's nothing." Yao Ran hurriedly shook her head, avoiding her gaze. "It really is my fault. I—I shouldn't have brought it up. I'm so sorry..."
From the way she had phrased her words, it was obvious that she was afraid—very afraid of the woman in front of her.
Upon hearing Yao Tang's line of question, Qin Man could only sigh helplessly. At this point, she had already given up trying to talk with this stubborn girl.
