Chapter 368
Li Man was frustrated with Huang Duo Duo's stubbornness. She earnestly said, "Duo Duo, haven't I told you before? Your father made a mistake, broke the law, and he must face the consequences. We can't protect him like this; it's illegal, you know?"
Pausing for a moment, she continued, "Besides, his crime isn't punishable by death. He'll only be in there for a few years, and then he'll be out. By shielding him like this, do you want him to live a life in hiding, always avoiding others?"
Huang Duo Duo cried and said, "I don't care! I won't allow you to report my father to the police!"
Seeing that her daughter wouldn't listen no matter what she said, Li Man was so angry that she wanted to scold her. But she managed to control herself. She didn't want to waste her breath trying to reason with her daughter because she wouldn't listen anyway. Instead, she said, "Where is your phone? Give it to me!" Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
"No, I won't! You're not allowed to take my phone! My dad bought it for me!" Huang Duo Duo protested.
With that, Huang Duo Duo quickly ran back to her room, protecting her phone tightly behind her.
Li Man approached with a stern expression and said, "Hand over the phone!"
"I won't, I won't! I won't give it!" Huang Duo Duo stubbornly replied.
Zhang Yan couldn't believe that Huang Duo Duo had just gone out to meet Huang De Han. Was she deceived when she wanted to eat candied haws? Did Huang Duo Duo deliberately distract her so she could go out and meet Huang De Han?
"Mom, move aside! Don't stop me. Watch me today, I won't let her off!" Li Man reached out to hit Huang Duo Duo again, but Zhang Yan held onto her tightly, keeping her away from Huang Duo Duo.
Seeing the situation, Huang Duo Duo grabbed her phone and ran out of the room.
"Stop right there! Where are you going?" Li Man yelled.
Huang Duo Duo opened the front door and ran out. At that moment, she didn't care about wearing a coat or even shoes. She ran out in her slippers.
As she rushed out the door, someone happened to come out of the elevator. She darted into the elevator with a swift step and frantically pressed the button for the first floor. She desperately kept pressing the close door button.
By the time Li Man and Zhang Yan rushed out, the elevator doors had just closed.
Li Man hurriedly approached and pressed the open door button, but it was too late. The elevator had already descended.
She quickly went back to her room, put on her coat, slipped into her short boots, and grabbed her daughter's coat and shoes before leaving.
Zhang Yan was extremely anxious and scolded, "Look at you, forcing the child like this. You ran out without even putting on shoes and a coat. It's so cold outside..."
