Chapter 98 - Wearing Matching Attire (2/2)

Hearing what the old man just said fueled the rage in the old man and father. Since they weren't allowed to voice out since the woman was glaring at them like she was pointing a gun right in front of their head. They vented their frustration within them instead.

'How dare you steal my granddaughter? I am her one and only Grandpa...'

'Declaring yourself as my daughter grandfather when I have not even agreed to anything. It seems you have a death wish old man... I don't care if your grandson helped my daughter.'

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Madam Yun approached the girl and greeted her. ”I'm so happy that you're here tonight, I must thank you for your surprise present last time…”

”Madam Yun, it's my way of thanking you for helping me last time as well.” She smiled.

Yun Shen, who was standing behind them ponder as he listened to the girl's voice. He thought for a second it was the same person that he was thinking of. But their voices are totally different, maybe because Li Zi was being compared to Lady Zhao he thought it was the same person.

Elizabeth noticed that Yun Shen seems to have not recognized her at all. The fact that she changed her voice using the voice changer hidden under her ribbon neck collar. She then faces the man and bowed to him, ”Young Master Yun forgive me for my attitude last time, also thank you for helping me.”

”It's alright.” Yun Shen replied a bit disappointed seeing he got the wrong person.

Lord Knightley could no longer take the sight of her daughter acting cute and adorable in front of the young man as he grabbed a hold of her hands. ”Come now, we shouldn't keep the guest wait.”

Lady Zhao wishes to burst out laughing but couldn't when her husband raised his brow at her. She giggled softly and thought.

'Don't worry darling, I'll love you no matter what. I know you adore our daughter more than you adore me. Well, I do too, but I won't do what you just did. To think you'll steal your daughter away from the young man.'

Elizabeth went along with her father, leaving the young man to watch her face the two-faced crowded who are eager to gain a connection with them as well.

...

As President Yun welcome all the guest and informed everyone about the upcoming project and his father return. He was only left to announce the biggest news of the night, ”Now, let me introduce the Chief Director of the project my eldest son Yun Shen.”

The young man went up to the center and gave a simple message to everyone. Since it was made official that he will be the Chief Director. After his speech loads of young heiresses surrounded him asking him personal questions.

Whilst his family continued to grow hatred towards him as they watch him being praised by everyone.

”Weiwei, where is Lili?” General Zhao asked noticing the girl was no longer in his sight of range.

Lady Zhao looked around and was surprised not to see the girl as well. ”I don't know...”

”Winston...” Lord Knightley looked at his personnel signaling him to look for the girl but in a casual manner and not to alarm everyone.

”Stop worrying, it's not as if she runs away with Shen...” Lady Zhao teased the two shocked to see them glaring at her from what she said.

”Weiwei, this is the first time Lili is attending such an occasion. Can you be more worried about your own daughter?” General Zhao sighed annoyed with his sister's words.

Lady Zhao, of course, was worried for her daughter, especially that the Longs were around. She feared something bad will fall upon her again, ”I am her mother, of course, I am worried for her. I have not slept a wink last night thinking of all the possibilities that will happen tonight. The worst is that the Longs are here, I was worried as well of what they'll do.”

”Unlike you, I wish my daughter to stand on her own. I know it isn't necessary, for we are here to protect her. She is our pampered princess but let's not forget she is the daughter of the Knightley and Zhao family. She has the blood of the strongest family in Imperial and the world. So stop worrying, she will be fine... If something does happen, will always be there to support her.”

Lord Knightley didn't hold back and grabbed his wife by her waist and moved her closer towards him as he planted a kiss on her lips, ”You always good with your words...”

Despite the crowd, Lady Zhao was not worried to kiss her husband back and said, ”And you're always good with your action...”
