Chapter 104 - Roared Approval And Demanded An Encore. (2/2)
As they were about to end their performance, the crowd roared approval and demanded an encore.
”Another one...”
”Encore...”
Soon the horrible words they were expressing towards the child change. They soon felt sorry for her and that there must be a good reason as to why she was hidden just like the Young Princess.
”Young Master Yun must be worried about his daughter especially she doesn't have a mother anymore. Maybe, that's why he kept her from everyone.”
”I feel sorry for the child now... She must have longed for her mother a lot.”
The crowd was really moved to see the trio performed for them again; they felt such warmth in their performance.
...
As she continued to watch the little girl, memories of the past started coming back. Tears started falling down her face without her realizing it. Then a handkerchief appeared in front of her face, she turned around and saw it was her husband.
”I know, she really looks like her… I miss her too…” President Yun kissed his wife on her forehead as he held her tightly in his arms.
Seeing his husband's lonely expression made her even more upset, but she needed to stay calm and avoid people from noticing them.
She embraces her husband for comfort and the man continued to hold on to her tightly. As he continued to watch the little girl and his father, all his regrets of the past soon flash in front of him as he felt so disappointed in himself for being a horrible son, father, and grandfather.
'Forgive me for not being able to protect all of you, I promise everything will change now. I won't let anyone bully our family again. I won't let any of you shed a tear because of someone else...'
...
Yun Lingxin was furious seeing how everyone's attention was won over by the child. All his son's efforts were washed away in a blink of an eye. Everything was ruined, he was hoping to approach Lord Knightley to disgust his project proposal but couldn't in the end when he saw the old man approaching the child.
'That brat ruined everything... Bl**dy hell, what should I do now. I can't approach him now since his daughter is performing as well, he'll surely be p*ssed off if I disturb them.'
...
As the night deepens, the crowd were all getting ready to go home as they bid each other farewell.
The Longs approached Elder Chairman Yun who was with the Young Princess's family.
”Everyone, please forgive us for ruining the night. My daughter was foolish and acted out of place.” President Long said.
Lady Zhao was furious seeing the girl behind the man acting all pitiful who has hurt her daughter, she has told no one but as she could not control her expression; she noticed her husband looking at her. She then panicky approached the man worried that her husband notices her. ”Don't worry Chairman Long, our daughter went too far as well. I hope you won't hold it against us.”
”Of course not...” Chairman Long delightfully smiled seeing things went better than he expected, ”Then if you excuse us, everyone have a pleasant evening...”
As the man walked away, Lord Knightley grab his wife and gave her a serious look, ”Are they involved with what happened to her foot as well?”
”Darling, please calm down... There are people watching us.” Lady Zhao said, seeing Elder Chairman Yun looked confused about the situation. Whilst her brother and father turned their back on her leaving her to explain to the man.
”You hide something so important from me, my daughter almost died.” Lord Knightley roared, ignoring the surrounding people.
”Darling, didn't Lizzy tell you?” She answered, recalling the fact her daughter told her that she'll explain everything to her father.
”Do you think they'll still be standing in our presence now if I've found out?”
Lady Zhao felt so hopeless. Of course, their daughter didn't inform her father. She would be so worried about what he'll do if he found out. The Long would be begging in the streets by now since this isn't the first time they've laid their hands on their daughter. ”Please, I thought Lizzy told you.”
”Winston...” Lord Knightley shouted as the man quickly ran to his side, ”I don't wish to see them again...”
Elder Chairman Yun worriedly looked after hearing the man's command.
'Did he order to have the Long destroyed? I thought everything was fine, seeing Lady Zhao even apologized to Chairman Long. What does he mean by foot? Did the Long accidentally hurt the Young Princess?'
Elizabeth saw what was happening, she sighed and took a deep breath before approaching them with Little Yan in her arms, ”Daddy, please don't...”
Lord Knightley turned around and saw his daughter with the child, but continued to maintain his cold and hostile manner. ”You dare ask for me to do nothing when they continued to hurt you.”
”Daddy, please let me handle this...” She pleaded hopelessly seeing how angry her father looked.
”But this will be the last time. If something happens to you in which it involves your life, whoever that person is, I shall handle them personally.” Lord Knightley said as he turned around and headed up the stairs with Winston to cool himself off.
”Baby, don't worry your father is just worried for you.” Lady Zhao said as she followed her husband up the stairs as her brother escorted her.
