Trial Of Love Chapter 240 - That She Loves Him

"Lady Zhao, what can I do for you?" Yun Bai asked as he meets the woman halfway.

"This is for you," Lady Zhao hand over a bag to him and then looked at Yun Shen and added, "Shen this one for you."

Yun Bai opened the box inside the bag and saw a fancy watch. "Thank you Lady Zhao,"

"Thank you," Yun Shen added.

Elizabeth has finally returned to the group after she received an unexpected call from Jackie.

"Darling is everything alright?" Elder Lady Zhao asked, sensing something odd about the girl.

Elizabeth smiled towards her grandmother and grab her father's attention as she whispered something to him. "Dad, you guys head home first, Jackie asked me to do something for her and I'm not sure what time I'll be back."

Lord Knightley looked at his daughter suspiciously and curious about what the two girls are hiding from him. "Okay."

Long and Chou then arrived with one of the cars as she prepared to leave. "Everyone, I'll be going ahead."

Little Yan was reluctant to let the girl go as she reached out her hands indicating for her to carry her. "Auntie..."

"Don't worry, Auntie promised to play with you tomorrow didn't I. So be a good girl and get some rest tonight."

Elizabeth kissed both Little Yan's cheeks as she handed her over to Yun Shen. She then went ahead and bid everyone a pleasant evening.

Madam Yun was curious as to why the girl left all on her own, "Does she not live with you?"

"Of course she does, she just has things to do." Lady Zhao answered despite she too is clueless why the girl sudden left without a word. Seeing her husband seems to be calm about it, she knew the girl must have asked permission from her father which is why she was allowed to go.

Surprisingly, everyone was baffled when they saw Yun Shen hand over Little Yan to her mother.

"Be good."

Little Yan gave her father a big hug and kiss of encouragement for she knew about her father's mission tonight. She has overheard her Uncle Feng and the other brother mentioned it last time when they came to visit them at their home.

"Mother, please take care of Little Yan. I'll still have things to do. Everyone, I'll be going ahead then."

As the man left as well without any reason, they too started questioning each other.

Lady Zhao looked suspiciously at Little Yan who seems happy when he saw the two people left. "Little Yan seems to be happy tonight may I know why?"

"Daddy bringing mommy home."

Her words were like lightning stuck to them as they fixed their eyes on the child dumbfounded of what she meant. They said a child never lies, so they expected Little Yan was telling the truth seeing her innocent face.

Madam Yun coughed as she tries to clear the situation. "Baby, what do you mean bring mommy home? Whose mommy?"

Before Little Yan could even answer, Elder Chairman Yun ecstatically answered the mystery for everyone. "Ah, could your father be bring Li Zi home then? Is your father planning to ask her out?"

Hearing the familiar name being mentioned, the Zhao and Knightley men's expression turned dark and vicious as they realize they just heard the most outrageous declaration every.

Zhao Xinyi tried his best to stay calm and confront his curiosity and calmly asked, "Is Shen dating someone?"

"I mentioned earlier that Little Yan really likes this particular Auntie name Li Zi. They've spent quite a lot of time together, but who knows what the two kids' relationship are?" Madam Yun answered humorously feeling chill down her spine.

"But I heard Uncle Feng said that daddy needs to be a man." Little Yan spoke causing such bewilderment in everyone's face. Her words were like knives being pierced in the Zhao and Knightley's heart.

When did things develop so well between then?

"What do you mean Little Yan?" Liu Yifie inquired this time seeing her family seems to have received quite a shock.

"Uncle Feng said he needed to take a step back, Uncle Xiao said to give her some space..." Little Yan explained to them all the things she overheard during the time the four uncles came to visit them. She then recalls something the servants were gossiping about. "Daddy was bad since he hurt Auntie."

Everyone was stunned when they suddenly notice the little girl's expression turn sour. She looks like she was about to cry as if she received the most heartbreaking news.

Elder Lady Knightley approached the little girl and caressed her cheeks, "What wrong dear?"

"Daddy hurt Auntie..."

"What do you mean?" Lady Zhao asked.

"Butler Chen mentioned contract and using me as an excuse." Little Yan answered them but was unsure of how to phrase her words.

They all looked at each other confused about what the little girl meant. However, one person seems to understand what the child meant and heavily sighed.

Lady Zhao turned when she heard her husband sighed heavily. She worriedly went closer to him and asked, "Honey, what's wrong?"

"I think Shen must have asked this Li Zi to marry him, but in the most unromantic way. When she meant by used her, he must have said he wished to marry her because she was good to Little Yan. In a way, it's almost like a contractual marriage."

Everyone eagerly listened to the man's explanation. What he said made sense but still a bit questionable.

Madam Yun suddenly reached when she realized what the man said, "What marry her? Little Yan, did your father ask to marry your Auntie Li Zi?"

"I'm not sure, but Uncle Feng was really upset with father. He warned him that this would be his last chance."

Elder Chairman Yun then gathered his thoughts and recalled what the little girl mentioned earlier. "Wait, didn't Little Yan mentioned earlier Shen left to bring her mommy home. Does that mean he went to see the girl?"

Everyone in the Zhao and Knightley expression suddenly turned even more dark as they realized why the girl just left without an explanation.

"Call Jackie."

They were confused as to why Lord Knightley suddenly asked someone to call Jackie. They wonder why he wished to call someone all of a sudden.

"My Lord..." Winston handed his phone over to the man.

"Explain yourself."

His cold voice reached the other end of the phone as it brought shivers down Jackie's spine. She was so scared that she dare not hide anything from him. When the man found out the reason as to why his daughter was upset last time, he took a deep breath and pinch his brow.

"Thanks."

Everyone's attention turned to the man who had just finished his call and was curious as to why he looked all worn out.

"Darling is something wrong?" Lady Zhao curiously asked.

"You knew didn't you?" Lord Knightley looked suspiciously and intently at his wife upset that they've kept secrets from him.

"Knew what?"

"That she loves him."

The man's words were like heaven or hell. It was neither good news or bad news. It was not something to be celebrated at the same time be proud of. The fact they've puzzled all the information together and realized why the girl was so broken last time.

"Wait, you mean... It wasn't because of the b*stard but..." Zhao Xinya was unable to finish his words when he realized the people around them. Realizing that his sister was hurt by the man he clenched his fist and said, "I'm going after her."

The Yuns were confused as to why the Zhao and Knightley seem to be trouble.

Lady Zhao notices them all befuddle and approached them. "Will see you all tomorrow then. Little Yan, have a good night's sleep okay."

"I will."

The Yuns watched as they disappeared within their sight leaving them all dumbfounded of what just happened.

Back in Imperial Garden Plaza, everyone just arrived and were all in an uproar.

"Weiwei, why didn't you tell me? What were you thinking child!" Elder Chief Zhao raged as he paced back and forth around the room.

"Child, are you saying it was Shen you hurt her not Jayden? But I swear I saw the two of them that night..." Elder Lady Knightley spoke.

"Xinyi, what's going on? Is Lizzy in trouble?" Liu Yifie wonders as to why everyone seems to be all tense.

"Yifie, I'm sorry... I don't know what to do right now." Zhao Xinyi sighed as he collapsed on the chair beside her.

"Are you really worried about Lizzy?"

Everyone was surprised when they suddenly heard Liu Yifie question them.

"Everyone, I know I've just become part of your family and I don't have any right to judge you all in how you care and love Lizzy, but as her sister now... All I want is to see her happy."

Liu Yifie felt her heart beating so fast as she spoke up in front of the elders for the first time.

"I don't know what type of person Shen is but I think he really loves her. You saw how happy Little Yan was when she mentioned her father is bringing Lizzy home. It just means he really sincerely love her for her. Isn't this what Lizzy always wanted to have someone love her for her. I know your all worried that something like last time will happen to Lizzy again but think about it. Shen was really willing to marry her but just asked her in the most awkward way which caused Lizzy to misunderstand Shen's intention."

Everyone were all ears as they listened to Yifie explanation. Her worse were like the cold truth which they wish not to hear.

Lady Zhao looked at her husband who seems calm since they've returned and not have spoken a word.

"Rob I'm sorry, you knew from the start I was helping our daughter out, but back then I was not sure if her feelings for Shen were true. Rob..."

"Then your right, she's ready to spread her wings."

Everyone were all in silence when the father of the girl declared his wish to finally let go of his daughter. It seems they'll soon be seeing another side of the girl as she flies high like the phoenix in the sky.
