Chapter 274 - Your Place (1/2)

Once they arrived at Imperial Garden Plaza, Elizabeth hastily grabbed one of the car keys as she headed out. The elders watched her as she drove away in a blink.

”Weiwei, are you sure Lizzy and Shen does not have any kind of relationship? You know the boy's family and situation...” Elder Chief Zhao sighs as he walked away from the window and seated on his chair.

Lady Zhao took a sip of her tea as she looked at the old man giving him a reassuring smile, ”Father, if Lizzy, does have that kind of relationship with Shen, will you be against it? She doesn't have any memory of what happened? Would you rather she'll be with Shen or tell her the truth?”

Elder Chief Zhao thought for a moment before answering his daughter's question, although he has said before he wished to have the boy as his future grandson-in-law, but... The fact that something happened to the girl before because of the boy's family worries him.

”He is indeed a great man who has achieved a lot on his own. He and Lizzy are just perfect for each other, to be honest, they have the same personality. At the same time, I'm sure Shen will protect and love her.”

”Then stop worrying about her, we should just trust and support her no matter what happens. At least we know this time, the man she sees is a decent man. You know Rob well, I'm sure he already made some conditions with Shen.” Lady Zhao replied as she thought of what condition her husband made with the boy that he's not doing anything and even allowed their daughter to see the man.

'Oh, Rob... What contract did you set with Shen?'

...

At the back of the stage, young girls and boys were all preparing anxiously for their turn.

Little Yan was sneaking glances at the audience upfront, checking if the person she's been waiting for has arrived. She notices that the man was glancing at her smiling reassuring her not to worry

At the moment, it was time for the little girl to go on stage. Seeing that she was unable to see the woman she's waiting for whilst walking on to the stage caused her expression to turn gloomy. As she stood on the center stage in front of the piano, she took a deep breath and bowed. She then took a last glimpse at the empty seat beside her father's.

Little Yan eyes sparkled seeing the empty seat was no longer empty at the same time the woman was waving and smiling at her. She beamed with joy in return as she went to the piano and began her performance.

”What took you so long?” Yun Shen asked whilst they listened to the girl's performance.

”I had to finish the arrangement for my new house,” Elizabeth answered, whilst focusing her gaze at the little girl who was on the stage.

The man did not further ask as he saw the woman's attention was focused on the little girl on the stage. As the two of them listened to her performance. Yun Shen's expression softens at the same darken. Seeing the little girl on stage reminded him of someone.

”Is something wrong?” Elizabeth asked, noticing the sorrow in Yun Shen's eyes despite his face was all the same.

”She reminds me of someone,” He answered with a bitter smile.

”Her mother.”

”Yeah-”

Elizabeth wonders why her chest suddenly felt so tight, she turned away from the man as she clenched her chest. She took a deep breath before returning to watch the performance.

'Maybe they're right...' she thought deeply whilst watching the little girl.

As the little girl finished her performance, people stood up and applauded her for her splendid performance.

At the event ended, Elizabeth and Yun Shen quickly went up to the stage to congratulate the little girl.

”Well done, Little Yan.” Elizabeth kissed the little girl on the cheek and check the award she received for third place.

”Auntie, Little Yan will work harder next time.” Little Yan reached out her arms for the woman to carry her as she handed the trophy to her father.

”That's right, if you practice more you'll be an amazing pianist one day. But music is not all about winning or losing... What's important is that you enjoy yourself and love the music you're playing.” Elizabeth reminds her of the reason why she wishes for the little girl to play music.

”I'll always love music.” Little Yan answered as she then felt her stomach grumbling, ”Auntie, I'm hungry.”

”What would you like to eat?” Elizabeth looked at the little girl and asked.

”I want Auntie to cook for Little Yan,” she replied.

”But your home is still quite far away,” Elizabeth explained, upsetting the little girl.
