Xiang Mingzhu's eyes reddened as she timidly said, "Uncle, I don't quite understand what you're saying."
Her body tensed up, her breathing accelerated.
Lu Bannong sneered, "I told your father to instruct you to eliminate Qiao Xi in the second round, why didn't you make a move?"
Xiang Mingzhu cried, "Uncle, I did make a move. Li Songwen was the one I bribed. His right hand was already injured, and he surely wouldn't have made it to the third round. It's better to make use of waste and have him eliminate Qiao Xi."
Slap!
Lu Bannong did not hold back just because Xiang Mingzhu was a girl.
A heavy slap left her cheek swollen and red.
"I told you to do it yourself, not to bribe someone else! Do you think I'm incapable of bribing people?" disdain filled Lu Bannong's eyes, "No one can be as reliable as our own! Do you understand?"
Xiang Mingzhu sobbed while covering her face, "Li Songwen… he won't betray me."
He had taken the money.
And harbored some affection for her.
"Foolish!"
