Trial Of Love Chapter 332 - Dark Side

Elizabeth was taken aback when she notices all the attention were at her. She came late since she had things to do and was invited last minute by Madam Yun. 'I wonder why everyone staring at me? Was I really that late?'

The girl dressed up in a plain white dress with no make up on. 

"Auntie!" 

The little girl's voice echoed with snap everyone back to reality. They watched as the little girl came running down the stage and meet the woman halfway down the stairs. 

Elizabeth was delighted to see Little Yan's smile. It brought such joy in her heart that the little girl has gotten over what happened before. She came down to pick the little girl and embraced her. "Little Yan, what are you doing?" 

"Auntie, I miss you... I though I won't see Auntie again?" 

"Don't be silly, didn't I promise you that I'll always be your Auntie and you'll always be my baby." Elizabeth tightened her embrace. 

"Auntie, are you really going to marry Uncle Feng?" Little Yan looked innocently at her. 

"Hmm." Elizabeth replied. 

Little Yan didn't bother to ask further about the situation between her father and the woman. She knows it was a matter between adults. 

Elder Chairman Yun who was still in a trance of everything finally spoke again. The girl entrance has taken him aback and was unable to announce the truth in the end. Instead of saying something further, he handed the mic to one of his sons and went down the stage and went to where his great-granddaughter went. 

"Miss Li Zi, I haven't seen you for a long time. It brings me such joy that your able to attend my celebration." He said. 

Elizabeth place Little Yan down and greeted the old man. Her smile was as bright as the moon whilst her eyes sparkle like star. "Grandpa Yun, I'm sorry for being late. I too have not seen you for awhile. I've been so busy and a lot of things have happened." 

Elder Chairman Yun need not ask what kind of busy the girl has been up to. News of her sudden engagement has caused quite a shock in society. She was like another Cinderall… 

"Dear child, congratulations on your engagement with Young Feng. He is a good man and will surely take care of you." He said with such sincerity in his tone and manner despite how he wished for the girl to be his granddaughter-in-law. 

Elizabeth bitterly smile for she cannot explain nor tell the old man the truth about the engagement. She despise the fact she lying to her elder. But she can't just reveal her ident.i.ty to them which can cost quite a problem for them in the future. Especially her father is being so uptight with her safety. 

"Grandpa Yun, thank you for your blessing. I know, I'll be happy with Xiaotong." She responded.

"Shall we?" Elder Chairman Yun over his hand to escort the girl to the party. 

Elizabeth nodded and lock her hands around the old man's arm. Along with Little Yan, the three of them caught everyone's attention which caused some confusion to some people. 

"I thought Li Zi is engaged to Young Master Feng, but why is Chairman Yun escorting her and so is the Little Miss?" 

"Didn't Li Zi have a good relationship with the Yun as well. I mean, her engagement with the Feng was so sudden which is strange. I'm sure something happen which we all don't know."

"Could it be that the announcement of Li Zi's engagement was a fake since it happened in live tv and they need to find a way for her to clear her name. I mean, President Feng was the previous president of Global Star." 

When Feng Xiaotong heard the commotion about the girl. He hastily went past everyone and went to the girl. He was surprised the she was being escorted by Elder Chairman Yun. "What should I do?" 

Elizabeth notice in the corner of her eye Feng Xiaotong who was stood amongst the crowd. She let go of Elder Chairman Yun's arms and went to the man. As she came face to face with him, she grabbed hold of the man's hand and planted a kiss on his cheeks. "Did I keep you waiting?" 

Feng Xiaotong was in a daze from the girl's sudden gesture. He smiled warmly at her knowing the purpose of the kiss. "No worries, I didn't expect you to come. I thought you'd be busy with your school work." 

She only smiled and didn't say anything further. 

Feng Xiaotong wished to say something to the girl about the danger she out herself in for attending the party but ponder on the consequences first. 'Should I tell her? I mean, if I tell her she'll surely won't leave. But, what does Shen mean… I mean, does Li Zi have another side I don't know of?'

"Li Zi, whatever happen, can you promise to stay by my side?" 

Elizabeth was curious as to why Xiaotong looked so tense and anxious. She gathered her thoughts together and ponders; 'I wonder why Xiaotong looked so anxious. Did something happen again?' 

"Xiaotong did something happened?" 

Feng Xiaotong smiled awkwardly and answered, "No, nothing happened. I just want to spend sometimes with you tonight…" 

Elizabeth was about to interrogate further when someone tugged on her skirt. 

"Little Yan?"

"Auntie, can you please stay with me?" Little Yan asked pitifully. 

Both Elizabeth and Feng Xiaotong looked bewilderedly at each other. They found the situation awkward since both of them have a close bond with the girl but have ruined her dreams by being with each other. 

"Li Zi, why don't you stay with Little Yan. I'm going to look for Shen." Feng Xiaotong planted a kiss on her forehead as he went to search for the man. 

Elizabeth became even more curious as to why Xiaotong is so anxious with her being around. 

"Come Little Yan, lets go…" 

Feng Xiaotong hastily went in search for Yun Shen. When he saw the man returning to the party with some of the Zhao's guards caused him to be even more anxious of what's to happen tonight. 

"d.a.m.n it! Is something really to happen tonight?" Feng Xiaotong murmured. 

Yun Shen notice Feng Xiaotong looking all as white as sheets. He went closer to the man and asked. "Did you find her?"

"She's with Little Yan… Shen, is something really bad going to happen?" Feng Xiaotong directly asked. 

"I'm not that sure." He replied. 

"Then tell me, who told you about tonight?" 

"Stanford." 

"What? He knew something is to happen tonight, how?"

"He told me that rumors of our family being hunted in the underground world. But it seems he too does not know who is after our family." 

"Shen, what? Are you saying the person after you has a connection with the underground. I mean… Shen…" 

Yun Shen too found it unbelievable. "Just keep Li Zi from getting involved. If something is to happen tonight, make sure to run with her." 

"Shen, tell me… Why can't she be here apart from the fact Lord Knightley is against you." 

"Some people have a dark side in them and Li Zi is one. Which is the main reason why Lord Knightley is so against me. For she did something which even you won't be able to believe." 

"Fine." Feng Xiaotong agreed without inquiring further about the girl's dark side.
