At the Shi family mansion, that night Shi Ruolan kept socializing with everyone smiling and laughing. As the hostess and belle of the party, she received various compliments from her classmates and seniors whom she had invited but she paid no interest towards them. Niu Ming noticed her restless temperament and asked her. "What's wrong, Roulan? Are you dissatisfied with the party?"
Shi Ruolan shook her head. "I wonder why Tian Kuo hasn't come yet? Even that countryside girl didn't attend the party, do you think she rejected my invitation?!"
Niu Ming nearly shut her ears when her friend's voice went a little bit too high pitched at the end of her words due to agitation but she endured it. A thought passed her mind that made her give a nasty smirk. "Perphaps, she didn't have a dress for the party and felt that she couldn't attend. Her family must really be suffering, isn't that not why they are making her work hard at her at her studies?"
