expression stiffened when caught the woman’s smiling eyes.

That was because Madam Gao had indeed harbored the same intentions to get on friendly terms with Madam Li and her daughter.

Now that she had heard what the woman had to say, she felt chills through her body.

“You shouldn’t feel so nervous about this.
