As soon as Mrs. Wang's voice fell, the noisy chatter in the courtyard seemed to be cut off by an invisible hand, leaving only the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves.
The smug satisfaction on Sister in law Qian and Li's faces had not yet fully unfolded before it froze at the corners of their mouths. The color drained from their faces, leaving expressions uglier than crying.
"Xiao Lin, this matter is settled, prepare well, and don't let me down!"
Mrs. Wang affectionately patted Lin Wan Yi's hand, her gaze swept over Sister in law Qian's pale face before she turned away contentedly, striding off with her characteristic gait.
As she left, the atmosphere forcibly suppressed in the courtyard immediately began to stir in another way.
"Oh my gosh, Mrs. Wang actually selected someone personally!"
"Lin Wan Yi is really different now!"
"Did you see Sister in law Qian's face? It's like she swallowed a green fly!"
