"Di Tao, do you have anything else to say?"

The angry voices filled the room, making it very gloomy. The temperature suddenly dropped to the lowest point. Everyone inside felt like they were in an ice cellar, freezing cold.

Di Tao fell to his knees, his eyes blank and his mind confused. "Father, I..."

Di Guanwei said nothing, waiting quietly for him to come up with an excuse.

Di Tao felt like he was being roasted on fire, unable to defend himself. Finally, he lowered his proud head and expressed regret.

"I'm sorry, father. I deserve to die. I shouldn't have done such a treasonous thing in the Di clan ancestral hall out of jealousy."

"But I... really want my father to acknowledge that I'm a member of the Di family. Do you know how much I envy Mo Lan and my elder brother, because they have Di blood flowing in their bodies. But precisely because of this envy, my heart gradually became twisted and unbalanced."

"I feel unbalanced that no matter how much I do, I can't attract your attention. I feel unbalanced that I am restricted in every way because I don't have Di family blood in my body. I feel unbalanced that you know that my abilities are superior to Mo Lan and Big Brother's, yet you never even bother to look at me."

"But father, none of this is my fault. If I had a choice, I would also wish to be a descendant of the Di family. I hope that the blood of the Di family flowing in my body will impress you."

"I'm sorry, father. I know that nothing I say now can undo the huge mistake I made in the Di Clan Ancestral Hall, so whether you dismiss me or expel me from the Di Clan, I have no complaints.

But father, whether you believe it or not, ever since you took me back to the Di family when I was fifteen, I have truly regarded this place as my home and you as my closest relative."

Lu Mian: Tsk tsk tsk, you’re even playing the emotional card?

After hearing his heartfelt speech, Di Guanwei raised his thick eyebrows and said, "I won't expel you from the Di family. After all, I brought you up. If I deny you, I'll be slapping myself in the face.

However, disrespecting the ancestors of the Di family is unforgivable. So, from today on, you will resign from all your positions at the Di family and reflect on your actions at home. Do you have any objections?"

Di Tao almost kowtowed three times upon hearing this, "Thank you, father. I have no objection."

"Well, everyone, go away." Di Guanwei drove them away coldly.

Although Di Tao was not a member of the Di family, his actions this time chilled his heart. Also, his words just now: "I hope I am a descendant of the Di family, I hope I have Di family blood flowing in my body" made him think of Di He for no reason.

It's quite funny to say that Di Tao dreams of being a member of the Di family, but Di He is the opposite. I still remember he once said: If he had a choice, he would rather not be born in the Di family.

Hehe, he throws away the identity that others are trying so hard to get. Should we say he is stupid or noble and arrogant?

Damn it, I can’t think about that rebellious son. The moment I think about him, my anger becomes uncontrollable and rises to the top of my head.

As for Di Tao, putting aside the incident in the ancestral hall, he is much better than that rebellious son. He has ambition, ideas and abilities. Such a person is undoubtedly the best leader of the Di family.

But... after all, he is not of the Di family bloodline, so he cannot be entrusted with important tasks.

"Uncle Lu, I didn't realize you were such a good hand."

After leaving the study, Di Tao looked at Lu Mian sinisterly and said, "Although there was a smile on his lips, it made people shudder."

Lu Mian was not afraid of his gaze and laughed, "Second Young Master, stop teasing me. I've never even touched a card in my life, so how can I say I'm good at it?"

These words made Di Tao feel like he was punching cotton. His breathing became heavy and his fingertips clenched.

Gao stepped closer to Lu Mian, his eyes as gloomy as ice, and lowered his voice, "Uncle Lu, I just want you to give me something frank."

Lu Mian was used to playing dumb, his raised eyebrows and eyes looking very innocent. "Frankly speaking? I don't understand what the Second Young Master means."

"Still pretending? Is that fun?" Di Tao was so angry that his teeth were itching. For the first time, he had the urge to deal with this old guy.

"How did you tamper with the apple?" Di Tao knew the answer clearly, but he was unwilling to lose to a butler and insisted on getting an answer.
