I am terminally ill, but I am healing the world with my songs

Rain Butterfly: Past Events.

“Dad, I’ve told you, I don’t like him. Do you even know what kind of person he is? How could you push me towards someone like that?”

In the spacious living room, only a few uniquely designed custom-made furniture pieces were scattered around seemingly without any order.

An enormous floor-to-ceiling panoramic window brought all the colors of the sunset outside into the house.

Under the brilliant glow of the setting sun, two figures were stretched long.

“Yu Die, this is just a formality. Dad’s project is very important. Once it successfully lands, our company will be one step closer to going public.”

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

“Is the company more important than me? I’m your daughter!”

“The son of the CEO who's collaborating with you on this project, he practically lives in bars, not to mention frequents them!”

“He takes different women to hotels every day. It disgusts me just thinking about it, and you actually want me to marry him?”

“Besides, I’m only seventeen this year, not even an adult yet. What are you thinking?!”

Cheng Yu Die’s face flushed red with anger.

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

Although her family couldn't be considered upper class, they were at least well-off.

Just this house alone is worth around six million, and the renovation cost over a million.

Her dad’s car is a Land Rover Range Rover.

The Lange watch he wears on his wrist isn't cheap either.

He has a whole cabinet full of such luxury goods.

With such a life, what's there to be dissatisfied with? Why is he so insistent on going public?

“Dad has no other pursuits in this life. His greatest hope is that the company he built from scratch can go public.”

“And he’s not as bad as you say. Young people are energetic and playful; it’s normal. He’ll settle down after marriage.”

“Yu Die, don’t worry. Dad will never let you be bullied. If that kid does anything to wrong you, I definitely won’t spare him.”

Hearing this, Cheng Yu Die’s heart sank.

Cheng Yu Die stared at her father, her wide eyes trembling in their sockets, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

She suddenly felt that the father she once regarded as a hero was becoming increasingly unfamiliar…

Where did the father who loved her most, held her in the palm of his hand, and feared she would suffer the slightest harm go?

Who exactly is this man in front of her?

Why has he become like this?

“Dad… are you serious?” Cheng Yu Die’s eyes were even filled with fear.

“Of course, Yu Die, don’t worry. When has Dad ever lied to you?”

As he spoke, he seemed to seize an opportunity.

He quickly found paper and pen, and while writing, he said with a smile, “Dad will write you a guarantee, that in the future…”

Smack!

Before he could finish speaking, the paper and pen were flung away by Cheng Yu Die.

“Dad! I’m not a child anymore!”

Hearing Cheng Yu Die’s almost roaring voice, her father turned to look at her in shock.

He saw that she was already in tears, her face full of pain.

“Dad, I know that going public is your wish, I’ve always known, but…”

“You can’t sacrifice your daughter’s life for your wish…”

“And Dad, you’re only forty-three years old. You’re still young, you’re at the peak of your career. There will be many, many more opportunities like this in the future…”

“Why…”

At this point, Cheng Yu Die took a deep breath, choked with tears, and said, “Why are you in such a hurry, disregarding my feelings!”

“You said it yourself, he’s still young, only seventeen or eighteen years old. You expect him to settle down after marriage? Do you think that’s possible? Is that realistic?”

“Besides, what I hate isn’t just that. I despise him for being dirty, I despise him for being disgusting, can you understand?”

“You want to give your daughter’s first time to such a scumbag to fulfill your dream of going public, don’t you think that’s absurd!?”

“I, Cheng Yu Die, can honestly say that although my family has a lot of money, I’ve never squandered it.”

“I’ve done most of what you’ve asked of me, and I haven’t been acting out, but this matter shouldn’t be like this in the first place!”

“Dad! What are you thinking?!”

Cheng Yu Die’s last sentence was almost roared out in a hoarse voice, and it exhausted her last bit of strength.

She only hoped that her father could wake up and not continue down this path.

Her father listened to all of this in shock. He was stunned for a long time, and the light in his eyes gradually faded.

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

“Sigh…” He lowered his head and sighed heavily.

“You’re right, Dad knows it all.” His tone was somewhat desperate.

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

However…

With a soft "thump," the tall father suddenly seemed to shrink in stature.

“Dad has never asked you for anything in this life, I only ask you this once…” he said.

In Cheng Yu Die’s heart, with this kneel, that kind, warm, and heroic father was already dead.

Dead in the past, dead in the memories.

Looking at the father kneeling in front of her, Cheng Yu Die’s heart was torn apart, her inner grief was overwhelming, and she was about to collapse.

On one side was her father, the chairman of a group company, a figure who was respected everywhere.

On the other side was her own life. Her first time would be given to a scumbag, and she would marry this person, and her life would be plunged into darkness.

“Dad, you’ve disappointed me too much…”

After saying this, Cheng Yu Die ran out in tears without looking back.

Her heart felt as if it had been stabbed hard, and she felt cold to the bone.

She knew very well that when relatives use such “emotional blackmail” to force you, they no longer treat you as family.

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