For a moment, Lin Yuan also wanted to lean in and listen to what they were discussing, but considering her position as the Boss, she ultimately suppressed the urge and stayed away.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, except Uncle Wang, who kept his head down without any reaction. Only when Da Niu approached and said something did he nod and respond faintly.
Lin Yuan knew that this year would be a tough one for Uncle Wang's family. His eldest daughter met a sudden mishap, and his younger daughter had gone to the Li family for revenge, only able to return home for a couple days during the New Year. On top of that, his wife's health was deteriorating, and Uncle Wang was surely not taking it well internally.
Lin Yuan didn't know how to comfort him; all she could do now, it seemed, was help Panpan to the best of her abilities.
