That night, his father and Tong Shuzhen returned home. His stepmother did not greet him with a smile like before, but his father, Tao Yong, also had a calm face.

Tao Zi felt that the atmosphere at home was not right. Since Tong Xiaomann still had not come back, that fat brother had also disappeared.

Taking advantage of the time while Tong Shuzhen was in the kitchen preparing dinner, Tao Zi secretly asked his father: ”What's wrong? ”Are you unhappy that I'm coming home?”

His father smiled bitterly. ”I'm happy, of course I'm happy.”

”Happy? ”Then why is your smile so ugly?” Tao Zi looked at her father's slightly aged face and asked curiously.

Dad shook his head and hesitated to speak.

At the dining table, Tong Shuzhen had revealed the answer to the riddle.

Originally, Tong Shuzhen's company investment had failed recently and she owed the bank a lot of money. Now, not only did the court seal the company, even this house was about to be auctioned off.

In the blink of an eye, Tong Shuzhen's splendor and wealth had turned into a dream that was about to vanish into thin air.

Originally, Tao Zi was somewhat rejoicing in her misfortune, but after hearing Tong Shuzhen speak, the only thing she could do now was to marry Tong Xiaomann into the Zhu Family's richest man, in order to free herself from this crisis.

Tao Zi was filled with righteous indignation once again. No matter how desperate she was, he couldn't do such a thing!

That young master from Zhu Family, Zhu Yuan, had once been Tong Xiaomann's classmate from a high school, and had always had this fantasy in his heart towards Tong Xiaomann.

Coincidentally, Tong Shuzhen's company was in a dire situation, so when Zhu Yuan heard about it, he immediately gave his conditions to Tong Shuzhen.

As long as Tong Xiaomann marries to him, he can help Tong Shuzhen's company out of their predicament, and she will even take out ten million as a betrothal gift.

Tong Shuzhen was used to being a rich woman, if she really became poverty-stricken, it would be even worse than letting her die. Right now, she only wanted to marry her daughter to a rich man to resolve this desperate situation.

Of course, Tong Xiaomann didn't want to marry that fat brother.

Who would have thought that after Tong Xiaomann found out about the truth, she would angrily return to the Dongyang and even call Tong Shuzhen saying that she wanted to sever their relationship.

That was why Tong Shuzhen and her father had such bitter expressions, as if it was the end of the world.

Tao Zi was just a popinjay. The rise and fall of this family had nothing to do with her, she was too lazy to worry about them, after eating dinner, she returned to her room with the cat.

Around ten o'clock, when Tao Zi was about to take off her clothes and go to sleep, she heard someone knocking on the door. She got off the bed and opened the door to see who it was.
