Chapter 289: The Illusory Film Building
Duan Shaohong sat in the middle of the Lu Family estate howling and crying loudly, "Little Sister! Please!! I am begging you! Let me take Huaiyi away! If this goes on, I will die here!"
Lu Maoxian had not shown the Zhang Family the slightest bit of mercy. Zhang Bochu, who was Zhang Huaiyi's father by name, had been beaten up so badly that he looked more dead than alive.
At first, Duan Shaohong had acted terribly tough and stubborn.
"Go on then!" she had shouted at Lu Maoxian's men. "Beat us however you like! Our family will never yield!"
Naturally, she did not care in the slightest if Zhang Bochu got thrashed. She felt absolutely no sympathy for the man. However, she did not expect that Lu Maoxian's men would beat her too. When the fists and sticks came crashing down on her own body, the pain suddenly became a very real thing indeed.
Not only had the husband and wife been beaten, but their house had also been burned to ashes. Every bit of their family property had been seized, and even the old master of the Duan Family had been dragged into the mess.
Only then did Duan Shaohong finally understand what sort of monster she had provoked. All this time, she had only seen the Lu Family's wealth. Yet she had never once considered how ruthless a family had to be to hold onto such wealth.
It had been easy to hand the boy over, but taking him back would be difficult as the current Zhang Huaiyi was no longer her actual son.
Duan Shaoxia comforted, "Elder Sister, at times like this, we absolutely cannot lower our heads. We must show the backbone of the Duan Family!"
