Zidi was stunned and speechless, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

After a long time, she finally spoke: "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Is it useful for me to tell you the truth? Is it useful?!" My father became excited. "We are just lower-class people, just businessmen of low blood. No matter how much resources we use, we will only be a black iron."

"No matter how much money I spend to hire strong people, even legendary ones! There will be no one to deal with the major forces in the empire for us."

"Wisteria Chamber of Commerce... Haha, although the wisteria has winding vines and grows luxuriantly, no matter how large and wide it is, without the support of a big tree, it will only lie on the ground and be trampled by others!"

"We must seek refuge with one of them, do you understand? My daughter."

Zidi frowned, feeling infinitely sad in her heart: "So, you want to sacrifice me? Let me marry a man older than you?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The father wanted to go up and hug Zidi.

But Zidi quickly retreated, and she shouted to her father firmly: "The people upstairs are definitely not my knights! My future is not like this."

She was crying when she said this.

"Zidi, my daughter..." the father called affectionately.

But at this time, the Lord of Garden City came from upstairs and urged: "President Ziteng, you'd better hurry up, my patience is limited."

The father's face changed, like a dark cloud. He anxiously shouted to Zidi: "Zidi, stop making trouble. Do you know how much I paid for this deal?"

"You know how much effort your father and I have put in and how many risks we have taken for the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce. You know how difficult it is for me!"

"I can't just watch it be taken away!"

"Help dad, ah, just think of it as repaying my kindness in raising you. Over the years, your food, clothing, and high tuition fees were all given by dad. No matter what you do with money, dad will try his best to satisfy you.

Yeah. Just like this rainbow cake, don’t you like it very much?”

Looking at her father like this, Zidi felt chilled to the bone.

"No, I don't like rainbow cake! Now it seems that it is just a means for you to realize your plan!"

"From now on, I will not spend a penny from you. I will pay you back whatever you have invested in me!"

Seeing Zidi being so determined, her father became even more angry: "That's enough. What nonsense are you talking about? You can't survive a day without me! How can you live the life of such a privileged young lady on your own? Listen to me dad.

If you marry the Lord of Garden City, you will have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life!!"

"No, never!!" Zidi yelled, lifted up her skirt, turned around and ran away.

Her father's call came from behind, telling her to stop, but Zidi ran faster instead.

She ran out of the building door and almost sprained her foot. She lost one of her beautiful pearl-white high-heeled shoes, and Zi Di simply kicked the other one away.

She ran into the garden, and her beautiful and fluffy princess dress was torn randomly among the trees, adding gaps and becoming dilapidated.

She cried, tears falling all the way.

Her father's words were still echoing in her ears. You can't survive a day without me! How can you live the life of such a privileged young lady on your own?

How hurtful, Zidi became more and more angry and sad. She tore off the diamond necklace on her chest, took off the valuable and exquisite bracelet, and then threw it on the roadside.

She finally ran to the gate of the manor, and the guards looked at today's protagonist strangely.

The princess who was originally dressed in fine clothes, the apple of the president's eye, was now in tattered clothes, panting, face stained with tears, and in a miserable state.

"Miss Zidi, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Open the door for me!"

"This is not allowed. The president has issued a strict order." The guards shook their heads repeatedly with a firm attitude.

"Zidi." A familiar voice came from behind.

Zidi turned around and saw Fat Tongue. Her body trembled and she burst into tears: "Are you here to persuade me too? Uncle Fat Tongue."

Fat Tongue slowly shook his head: "I don't agree with your father's approach. Let's go in my carriage. I will persuade your father."

After speaking, he ordered the guards: "Now, open the door."

"But……"

"I will explain to the president. If something happens, the responsibility will be on me and I won't hurt you." Fat Tongue's attitude was firm.

The guards had no choice but to obey.

Fat Tongue escorted Zidi all the way to his carriage.

"Uncle Fat Tongue, thank you!" Zidi stepped onto the carriage steps, she was extremely grateful to Fat Tongue.

Fat Tongue smiled bitterly: "I watched you grow up, kid. Don't blame your father. He has his own difficulties and was forced to do nothing."

"No, I will never forgive him!" Zidi gritted her teeth.

She took a deep look at the manor, which was her home for many years.

Then, she got into the car.

Inadvertently, the crystal crown on her head hit the lintel of the car door and fell off.

Zidi looked back at the crown on the ground, and then closed the carriage door without hesitation.
