Trial Of Love Chapter 330 - After Grandfather

A few days passed and it was finally Grandpa Yun's birthday. The whole Yun estate was well decorated in silver and gold. Many well-established business people, high ranking officials and international business partners of the Yuns gather to celebrate the old man's life. 

Elder Chairman Yun along with his three sons greeted the guest that have arrived. Little Yan was busy playing the piano with the orchestra bring such a warm and welcoming feeling to everyone. The whole atmosphere was perfect and it brought a big smile to the old man's face. 

"Xinya, thank you for making this day so special." Elder Chairman Yun turned to Madam Yun and thank her for all her efforts. 

"Father, it's the least I can do for you," she answered. 

"Still, you've spent so many sleepless days just to prepare this for me. I feel bad, look at you..." Elder Chairman Yun grab hold of her hand, "You look so slim and pale." 

"Father, Xinya said she's fine so don't worry about it and enjoy the party." President Yun added. 

"Fine, fine, anyway, where is Shen already?" Elder Chairman Yun asked noticing the boy was not yet around and every member of the family has arrived already except for him. 

"I'm not sure," Madam Yun replied with a gloom expression on her face for she senses her son won't be in the mood to attend after all that's been happening. Especially of Li Zi's engagement to Xiaotong. 

"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll be fine. Who would have thought that both Li Zi and Xiaotong have feelings for each other." President Yun said. 

"I don't think so..." Elder Chairman Yun spoke with such confidence in his gut was telling him that the girl really loved his grandson and great-granddaughter. 

"What do you mean father?" Madam Yun asked. 

"I just know that Li Zi loves Shen more than she loves Xiaotong. I know she cares for Xiaotong too but I feel that her feelings for Shen are much deeper than we think." 

Both President Yun and Madam Yun looked at each other confusedly. They don't know if whether what the old man was saying is true or false. The fact the engagement between the two has been announced just made his words meaningless to them. 

"Ah~ Shen here..." Madam Yun slightly raised her voice due to excitement as she pointed to where the young man is. 

They all turned their attention on the young man heading their way. The boy was all dress in an all-black tuxedo. Even his inner polo shirt was black as well. They face each other with a heavy heart feeling sorry for the boy. When Li Zi was around, he used to wear brighter colors but now... He only wears black which signifies how much sorrow he must be feeling.

"Grandfather, I'm sorry I'm late." Yun Shen greeted them all. 

"It's fine." Elder Chairman Yun replied. 

"Shen, how come you arrange so many guards all of a sudden. Is something to happen tonight." President Yun directly asked the boy. Since after the kidnapping of Little Yan, Yun Shen has tightened the security in all their household and asked more guards to watch over each member of the family. 

"It's just for precaution. Who knows what will happen tonight." Yun Shen answer. 

"Have we still have no leads on who is after us? I mean, even with the help of the Feng we are clueless." Elder Chairman Yun vented in frustration that he is unable to protect his family as the head. 

"Shen, why don't we ask the help of the Zhao. I'm sure they'll be willing to help us. I mean, wasn't the Young Princess involved?" Madam Yun suggested without thinking that his son has already struck a deal with Lord Knightley and must not seek for their help. 

"We better not get them involved. Who knows, the person after us might be a close partner of the Knightley in business. If we get them involved it might after their business." Yun Shen explained. 

"What Shen said it true, we need to find out whom they are first before asking others help." President Yun added. 

"But still, I think with the Zhao and Knightley's help. We can bring this person to light much quicker. Especially with Lord Knightley's connection. I'm sure he already knows who the person after us." Madam Yun said. 

"Hmm, let's forget about that for now and enjoys father's birthday." President Yun changed the topic noticing his son's change in expression. 

"Xinya, why don't you and father welcome the other guest. Shen, come with me?" President Yun and Yun Shen headed back inside the house. 

Both Elder Chairman Yun and Madam Yun wonder what the two need to talk about that they aren't welcome to join them. 

President Yun and Yun Shen entered the music room. For it was the only room in the house that anyone would enter. Since the room was their late mother's favorite room and no one dares to enter it after her death. 

"Are they to attack again tonight?" President Yun directly asked his son. 

"Hmm..." Yun Shen nodded. 

"Who are they after this time? Is it Little Yan again?" 

"Nope, this time they're after grandfather." 

President Yun's eyes widen in shock. He thought the person was only after his son. For his son is the heir to the company and thought that the person after them is just one of their relatives. After knowing that his father's life is now in danger, change his perspective on things. 

To narrow things down, the person after them could have been paid by their distant relative or one of his father's brother or a rival company. But, who would have enough money and power than the Fengs in the country? Since even with the help of the Fengs they can't find any clue. He fears that the person after them might even be as powerful as the Zhao. 

"Shen, be honest... Why haven't you seek for Lord Knightley's help? I mean, with his connection, I'm sure he already knows the identity of the person after us." President Yun asked. 

"He does already knows, and he wishes to kill them at once. But I can't do that..." 

"Why not?" President Yun was confused as to why his son is risking their lives.

"I can't tell you." Yun Shen answered as he went closer to the window to check the party outside. 

President Yun was dumbfounded by his son's answer. He really wants to know as to why his son refused the help of Lord Knightley. 'Shen, what are you thinking? Why are you putting your family in danger for? What stupid reason could there be for you to refuse Lord Knightley's help when he wishes to kill them without anything in exchange. I'm sure the man is upset as well for his daughter was put in danger.'

The more President Yun thought about it the more blank his mind went. He really couldn't see any reason as to why his son should refuse someone's help. 

"Are you really prepared to put your family's life in danger? I mean, Shen... Your daughter is still so young. She still has a lot ahead." 

Yun Shen turned to face his father with such gloominess in his eyes. "I just can't let her go." 

President Yun looked even more confused about what his son said. 'What does he mean? Does he like the Young Princess, I thought he likes Li Zi.'

As he puzzled all the information he knows, a sudden thought suddenly struck him. He looked so dumbfounded at his son as he approached him and shakily grab hold of his son's shoulder. "Li Zi, you mean... You mean to say, Li Zi is the Young Princess."

He didn't need to get an answer from his son for it was pretty obvious already. With all that's been happening it was clear that the girl was the Young Princess. With the realization of the girl's identity came to light. He suddenly realized why his son refused Lord Knightley's help. 

"If you seek for his help, he'll deny you of his daughter. Which means, the engagement between Xiaotong and Li Zi..."

President Yun felt a sudden headache from all the information he just analyzed and felt sorry for his son. His son was fighting a great battle all on his own. 

"Shen, I'm sorry to have failed you as a father." 

Yun Shen smiled slightly at his father and spoke in a low voice, "How can you say that when you took me even though I am not yours." 

President Yun felt warmth and delight that the boy still thinks of him as his father despite all the harsh and cruel things he said about him. He has taken the boy for granted all this year and felt ashamed as his father. 

"Shen, if you ever need my help you know I am here for you. I know I've taken you and Little Yan for granted all this year, but remember this. I'll always be your father."

"Don't worry, I've always treated you as my father as well. And, I'm thankful that you've become my father." Yun Shen responded with a pure heart. 

Not only was there a secret about Little Yan's identity that the family does not know about, but so does his life and how he became to be the heir. 

 "Shen, does that mean Li Zi won't attend tonight?" President Yun inquired.

"Yes, I asked Xiaotong not to bring her." Yun Shen answered. 

"Are you sure..." President Yun was a bit confused and directly told his son, "But your mother said, Li Zi will attend tonight." 

"What?" Yun Shen's eyes widen in surprise. 

"Yes, she told me that she invited her..." President Yun wasn't able to finish explaining when he saw his son bloated out of the room. "Ah,  did my wife do something unnecessary just now that might bring disaster to all of us."
