Chapter 807: You B*stard
“You really hit the nail on the head. This woman and her husband employ such terrifying methods.” Zhu Qianliang understood his sister well. “If we disown Sister, it is a fate worse than death for her. Furthermore, we have to ask her to stay in a foreign country without any of our protection. It’s like asking her to be an ordinary Jane.”
How many daughters and granddaughters did the Zhu family have?
A daughter disowned by the Zhu family and even exiled from the country. How could Zhu Qianlan endure that kind of life abroad? That would be too unbearable!
She would have no money, no power, and some of the Zhu family members would even ridicule her. The Zhu family had disowned her—a descendant that had only brought losses to the family. Only her immediate family would feel sorry for her; who else would pity someone who had been exiled from their family?
“We cannot tell your grandfather about this for the time being.” Zhu s.h.i.+san knew how his father would choose. Between the eldest son, who could be placed in an important position by their family’s patriarch, and a granddaughter who was divorced and brought losses to the family—he would only give up on Zhu Qianlan in a heartbeat.
That was probably the most extensive and ugliest lesson that the Zhu family had learned in Ping City after such a long time. Their enemy had slapped the Zhu family in their face, but they did not even have the strength to retaliate.
It was a good thing that Nanjiang City was far away from Ping City. It did not seem like Jiang Yao and her husband were prepared to blow up the matter and embarra.s.sed the Zhu family further. So, their problem did not spread to Ping City, and the Zhu family had managed to keep their dignity there.
That was also why Zhu s.h.i.+san was enraged. The Zhu family’s patriarch could clearly see that their enemy had targeted Zhu Qianlan. It was obviously a retaliation from when his daughter disrespected them and even tried to kidnap them. It had nothing to do with the Zhu family; they only targeted Zhu Qianlan personally.
Therefore, the Zhu family’s patriarch would never trouble the whole Zhu family for a junior like Zhu Qianlan. He would also not feel as if the Zhu family’s prestige had excessively provoked until he could no longer stand it.
It was a beautiful autumn night in Nanjiang City. The withered yellow leaves by the roadside drifted with the gentle wind. In only one night, the roadside had been covered by a layer of gorgeous withered leaves carpet.
It was Lu Xingzhi’s last night stay in Nanjiang City. Even though he felt a little regretful that he did not do what he wanted to do during the day, he still used all his means to torture someone to death at night.
“Lu Xingzhi! Lu Xingzhi! That’s enough!” Jiang Yao felt as if she had just been pulled out of the water. The man on her body was also drenched in sweat, but there was still fire in his eyes.
After a few rounds of torture, her back already ached. When she realized that the man had not had enough, Jiang Yao gritted her teeth and pushed him away. She reached out and rubbed her waist. “Lu Xingzhi! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
“I will only get to see you again before the new year. So tonight, I have to take back the two months’ worth in one go.” Lu Xingzhi did not think that he was a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. He smiled as he stretched out his hand to ma.s.sage her and whisper in her ear.
A few seconds later, Jiang Yao’s expression changed, and she kicked him off the bed. “Don’t even think about it!” Then, she wrapped herself in the blanket and jumped off the bed to run to the bathroom.
