It was probably past seven when dinner was ready.
It was apparent that Song Ran wasn't in the best of spirits; the dishes were simple, just two home-cooked ones: stir-fried greens and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and there wasn't even any soup.
"I'm sorry, Yun Lan, I didn't manage to go shopping for groceries. First thing tomorrow morning, I'll go to the market and buy you a fish to nourish your body a bit more."
"Okay, I know..."
Hai Yunlan didn't mind at all; from her perspective, the Song Ran in front of her wasn't her mother but a complete stranger. She was even slightly worried that there might be something wrong with the dishes, so she only dared to eat after Song Ran had started eating first.
In short, until Song Ran was willing to be honest with her and tell her the whole truth, she couldn't possibly trust this woman.
She dared not take Hai Yunlan's words seriously, not even a single sentence.
Therefore, she ate her meal with a distracted mind.
