Lu Bannong handled affairs with subtlety and had been pretending to be a smiling tiger for decades.
Everyone who spoke to him always left some wiggle room; they'd never met someone as direct and headstrong as Qiao Xi.
Speaking so bluntly.
He showed a perfectly timed smile, looking very kind and cordial at Qiao Xi: "Vice President Qiao, I understand you have just gone through the pain of your master's passing. But this is the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and I hope you can be mindful of your words."
Qiao Xi's tone was calm: "I just find it quite odd. I have presented evidence to prove my relationship with Mrs. Cheng. Everything follows the procedures, and according to the regulations, I should be able to take her away. Why won't President Lu relent? Who truly has a personal agenda, is it me or you?"
She never showed a good face to any Lu Family member.
