Rain Butterfly's Past.

"Dad, I've already told you, I don't like him. Don't you know what kind of person he is? How could you push me into a relationship with someone like that?"

In the spacious living room, there are only a few uniquely designed custom-made pieces of furniture, seemingly placed randomly around without any pattern.

A massive floor-to-ceiling window brings the entire sunset view into the home.

Bathed in the brilliant glow of the setting sun, the two figures appeared elongated.

“Yudie, this is just a formality. Dad’s project is very important. Once it is successfully launched, our company will be close to going public.”

A middle-aged man with a powerful aura spoke in an almost pleading voice.

"Is your boss more important than me? I'm your daughter!"

"The son of the boss of the project you're working on doesn't just frequent bars; he practically lives in them!"

"He brings several different women to hotels every day, it makes me sick just looking at him, and you actually want me to marry him?"

"Besides, your daughter is only seventeen years old this year, not even an adult yet. What are you thinking?!"

Cheng Yudie's face turned bright red with anger.

She never imagined that something like this would happen to her.

Although their family couldn't be called upper class, they were at least reasonably well-off.

The house we have now cost around six million, and the renovation cost over one million.

My dad drives a Range Rover.

The Lange watch he was wearing wasn't cheap either.

He also has a whole cabinet full of luxury items like these.

With a life like this, what is there to be dissatisfied with? Why insist on going public?

“My dad didn’t have any ambitions in his life. His biggest hope was that my company, which I started from scratch, could go public.”

"Besides, he's not as bad as you say. It's normal for young people to be a bit playful. He'll settle down after marriage."

"Don't worry, Yudie, Dad will never let you be bullied. If that kid does anything to wrong you, I will definitely not let him get away with it."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yudie felt a chill run down her spine.

Cheng Yudie stared at her father, her wide pupils trembling in her eye sockets, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

She suddenly felt that the father she once regarded as a hero was becoming more and more unfamiliar...

Where has her father gone, the one who loved her most, who cherished her and feared for her from any harm?

Who exactly is this man in front of me?

Why did it turn out like this?

"Dad...are you serious?" Cheng Yudie's eyes were filled with fear.

"Of course, Yudie, don't worry, when has Dad ever lied to you?"

As he spoke, it was as if he had seized an opportunity.

He quickly found paper and pen, and while writing, he said with a smile, "Dad is writing you a guarantee, from now on..."

Snap!

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Yudie flung the paper and pen away.

"Dad! I'm not a child anymore!"

Hearing Cheng Yudie's almost screaming voice, the father turned to look at Cheng Yudie in shock.

She was already in tears, her face filled with pain.

“Dad, I know it’s your wish to go public, I’ve always known that, but…”

"You can't sacrifice your daughter's entire life just because of your own wishes..."

"Besides, Dad, you're only forty-three. You're still young, at the peak of your career. There will be many more opportunities like this in the future..."

"Why did you..."

At this point, Cheng Yudie took a deep breath, choked back tears, and said, "Why were you in such a hurry and disregarded my feelings!"

"You said it yourself, he's still young, only seventeen or eighteen. Do you think it's possible for him to settle down after marriage? Is that realistic?"

"Besides, that's not what I hate. I hate it because it's dirty and disgusting. Do you understand?"

"You're going to give your daughter's virginity to such scum to fulfill your dream of going public? Don't you think that's absurd?!"

"I, Cheng Yudie, can honestly say that although my family has a lot of money, I have never squandered it."

"I have done most of what you said, and I haven't been throwing a tantrum. It's just that this shouldn't have been like this at all!"

"Dad! What are you thinking?!"

Cheng Yudie's last words were almost shouted out in a hoarse voice, which exhausted her last bit of strength.

She only hoped that her father would come to his senses and stop going on like this.

After listening to this, the father was stunned for a long time, and the light in his eyes gradually faded.

He remained silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something or making a decision.

"Sigh..." He lowered his head and let out a heavy sigh.

"You're right, and Dad knows it all too." His tone was somewhat desperate.

Cheng Yudie looked at her father with hopeful eyes, hoping that he would really take back his previous decision.

However……

With a soft "thump," the towering father suddenly appeared shorter.

"I've never asked you for anything in my life, but I'm asking you for this one thing..." he said.

In Cheng Yudie's heart, with that one kneel, her loving, warm, and heroic father had already died.

Died in the past, died in the memories.

Looking at her father kneeling before her, Cheng Yudie felt as if her heart was being torn apart, her grief was unbearable, and she was on the verge of collapse.

On one side is her father, the chairman of a conglomerate, a highly respected figure everywhere.

On one hand, there's her entire life at stake: she's about to give her virginity to a scumbag and marry him, plunging her life into darkness.

"Dad, you've disappointed me so much..."

After saying that, Cheng Yudie ran out without looking back, tears streaming down her face.

It felt as if a knife had been plunged into her heart, leaving her feeling icy cold.

She knew perfectly well that when relatives resorted to this kind of "emotional blackmail" and forced her into things, they no longer considered her family.

Parents who truly love their children would not use such extreme methods to force their children to do things they don't want to do.
