Water Fairy looked down and grit her teeth; she actually didn't want things to turn out this way .
After training and taking care of her for 20 years, it seemed like she treated it like it was nothing . As such, it was impossible for the father not to get angry .
When she was two years old, she had begun her education . While other girls were still being pampered, she was studying . While other girls were playing, she was studying . While other girls were enjoying their youth, she was studying .
She had resisted the role of being the successor since she was young, and dreamed of getting rid of it .
However, if the day truly came where she would throw away what she had been trained for, it would feel like the first half of her life had been a waste .
"Husband, don't be like this . Your daughter is all grown up and is now looking for love . It's normal to have a few boyfriends before settling down," her stepmother softly reminded him .
"You're always defending her," Mr Shen coldly replied .
"I don't need her to; I will decide these things for myself . You keep eating dad," Water Fairy said as she stood up to leave .
"You…" Mr Shen's father had spent a lifetime in positions of authority, so few people dared to disobey him . Now that this daughter who he had raised like a son who was being rude to him, he just sighed and said, "My child, your father won't let you down . "
"Can you guarantee that? In front of Uncle Wang?" Water Fairy asked as she stopped in her tracks .
The so-called Uncle Wang was their family's lawyer . Water Fairy meant for him to establish his inheritance to her .

"Husband…" Her stepmother's face turned pale .
Pregnant women shouldn't be arguing with others, but once you were pregnant, even the softest-spoken women would become more abrasive .
Mr . Shen couldn't make such a guarantee . In his heart, he wanted to give his inheritance to his son . What if the son turned to be more promising than the daughter?
Water Fairy sneered, "I don't care about anything else, but everything I have in the gaming industry belongs to me . Don't inject yourself into my business . I don't want to move any of the money in my account and the thing my mum left behind…"
"Silence!" Mr . Shen's heart was angry and resentful when he heard his daughter start to talk about splitting up the family's assets .
When her mother gave birth to her, her body was already weak and was unable to have another child . Before her death, she forced her husband to swear that even if he remarried, he wouldn't have another child . Regardless of whether it was intention, he had broken that oath .
That, in addition to everything he had done over past twenty years, was the reason why Water Fairy was filled with resentment towards her father .
After leaving the house, Water Fairy returned to the Drizzle Court residence .
This place used to be a university, but it had since moved to another location . Mr . Shen had acquired the land, and Water Fairy had built it into a gaming city .
This was considered to be the place where famous guilds in the gaming circle gather . Drizzle Court, Peerless City, Blue Universe, Concealed Heavens, Misty Story and Double Dimension were some of the famous major guilds here, alongside the dozens of elite groups and small clubs .

The facilities here were excellent – there were cinemas, playgrounds, amusement parks, water parks and so on .
Most players went home during the New Year, but there were still some that were too lazy . The arrival of Water Fairy caused a bit of commotion .
It was normal for the boss to go home for the New Year; this was common knowledge . There must have been something wrong if she had returned in the middle of the night .
However, Water Fairy didn't pay attention to what the other players thought . After returning to her home, she went straight into the arena . She didn't even hide her identity; she just fought whoever to vent her anger .
After she had calmed down, she realized that it was past midnight, which meant that it was the New Year .
She just stayed in the game without doing anything, and received a few Happy New Year messages . When she opened her friend list, she saw that Lu Li was online .
"What are you doing?" Water Fairy asked .
"Training my Trade Skills – Goblin Jumper Cables . "
Lu Li was obviously busy and Water Fairy could hear the sound of machinery in the background .
"It's the New Year . Why aren't you spending time with Xin Xin?" Water Fairy felt a sense of peace when listening to the machines . She had finally calmed down, and wondered why her temper had flared up previously .
"She is already asleep, I prefer for her not to stay up," Lu Li said, then paused before continuing, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"You managed to get that just from my voice? And here I was thinking you were a blockhead when it came to these things . " Water Fairy was surprised . She hadn't deliberately concealed her feelings, but she didn't think Lu Li would notice it .
She had known Lu Li for so long, and had never seen anyone who was more insensitive than him .
Other men who spoke to her were always quite receptive . If she ever became uncomfortable, they would immediately try to flatter her . They didn't always have some motive and some of them were already famous, but none of them could bear to see her disappointment .
After all, good looking people had that advantage .
It was only Lu Li who allowed Water Fairy to feel like an ordinary girl . Because of this, she was very comfortable with him .
"Why are you upset?" he asked .
"I got into an argument with my dad . "
She had kept all this to herself for twenty years, but she suddenly had the desire to share . She told him everything that had happened at the New Year's Eve dinner .
Lu Li listened quietly and occasionally responded .
Then, he began to understand Water Fairy's family background, her upbringing, and her recent conflicts and experiences .
In fact, Lu Li couldn't help but feel for Water Fairy's dilemma . He didn't have any parents, and would give anything for them, even if his life would be worse . However, Water Fairy seemed like she had also grown up with her share of suffering .
"He is your father after all . I'm sure he would be sad if you left the house on a day like New Year's Eve," Lu Li's said . His position was a little biased towards Mr . Shen .
"But he betrayed his promise to my mother, and treats me like a joke," Water Fairy said angrily . Lu Li's accusation grieved her, because she thought that he wouldn't condemn her father too .
"He did something wrong, but it is not the worst . Your stepmother might not have a son, and even if she does, he might not be a good prospect . Even if he was a good prospect, you still wouldn't be given up . Moreover, weren't you planning to build a career within the gaming industry anyway?"
Lu Li was not good at comforting people, but he was good at directly addressing the heart of the issue .
"But… I'm still unwilling," Water Fairy said while muffling her voice .
"The game industry is growing rapidly once again . If you can get a foothold in it, it might be even better than taking a place in an industry in real life," Lu Li reiterated .
Only he knew what Dawn would truly being to the gaming industry .
For example, Ruling Sword was valued at 30 million . If they didn't fall downhill, they would become valued at greater than 100 million within half a year . Not long after that, they would soon reach a billion dollars . This was how quickly the companies were developing .
Drizzle Court was already a behemoth in the gaming circle, and Lu Li couldn't imagine an industry that was more promising than this .
