Qin Man took out her phone and saw that she had an unopened message from her daughter. The timestamp was twelve minutes ago.
Yao Ran had probably sent it when they had first entered the restaurant.
The message alleviated Qin Man's doubts.
"I see. I had no idea."
Qin Man didn't mind that Yang Nian and his friends had witnessed the fiasco earlier, but if Yao Ran had somehow brought them here on purpose, then that would be a different story.
She glanced at Yang Nian, making sure that he heard what she was about to say.
"Your cousin was on a blind date, that's why I didn't have the time to check my phone."
"It's okay, Mom," Yao Ran chimed. "I know Sister Tang's matters are important to you."
"Yes, yes. My Ranran is so sensible, you really are the best!" After saying that, Qin Man turned to Yao Yan.
