Han Jin's call ended right there, utterly decisive and merciless.
The other people in the private room only heard the rushed voice and didn't catch much of the content.
Bai Shuren held his phone, bewildered.
When Sheng Zijin saw that he had finished the call, she got up with the teapot in hand to refill Bai Shuren's cup and asked, "What's wrong with Uncle Han Jin?"
"He said something important came up, so he won't be coming."
Sheng Zijin paused while pouring the tea, mustering a gracious smile, "What kind of urgent matter? Do you need help?"
"He didn't say, but it must be quite important. He's always rather busy…"
Bai Shuren shook his head politely after speaking to Sheng Zijin, and then he looked toward Lu Xi, Lu Xingtang, and Pei Jinlan with a not-so-pleased expression, almost as if he was ready to sever ties.
"Brother Lu, it seems that the Lu Family has made up its mind to protect Lu Mian?"
