Chapter 329 - Grandfather's Birthday

Elizabeth was taken aback by Feng Xiaotong's sudden kiss. It was the first time that the man kissed her so passionately and in front of everyone. She was moved by the man's romantic gesture but was a bit confused at the moment. Not because of Shen being in the same room as them, but because an event like this happened in her past before. 

Feng Xiaotong released the girl and planted another kiss on her forehead, "Let's go home?"

Elizabeth obediently nodded and followed the man. 

"Well then, Young Stanford, if you excuse us." Madam Feng proudly smiled, impressed how his son acted in front of everyone. She was so proud of him and wish to scream the joy she was feeling. 'That's my boy!'

"Then, let's go." CEO Feng kept the same composed expression on his face but too was overjoyed by their son's action. He was a man and the boy's father. What his son did just prove he is a proud son of a powerful family and will not back down on a fight. 

Jayden Stanford watched as the four left him all alone in such an awkward situation. As he was about to leave, he notices another prey and approached him. "It seems you've lost. I mean, aren't you the unluckiest out of us. Not only do they disapprove of you being with the girl. Your family is all being hunted like a piece of rabbit." 

Yun Shen couldn't care of Jayden Stanford provocation. He was still dumbfounded of what happened. It seems his friend was indeed planning to take his role as the girl's partner in life. He bitterly smiles knowing the girl will be in good hand if he fails. But, it doesn't mean he's going to give up that easily. His personality to always face all odd optimistically is why everyone found him amazing. They said; when life gives you lemon made lemons. Which is what Yun Shen is all about. 

Jayden Stanford notices the unmoved Shen, he went closer to him and whispered to his ear. "You better be prepared for your grandfather's birthday. I heard, they''re after your old man."

Yun Shen's eyes widened in shock as he looked baffled at Jayden. If only there weren't any guests around, he'd already punch the man in the face. He looked at him curious if whether what he said was true or not. 'He knows my family is being hunted. So, is what his saying about my grandfather's incoming birthday party true?'

"Honestly, I hate you. But, I always have a soft side for grandfather since I was raised by my grandfather. So, you better double the guards and keep a tight security. Also..." Jayden Stanford grabs hold of Shen by his collar and looked furiously at him. "Don't you dare invite Liz, if she's dare and something does happen. You'll only be putting her life in danger, which means..."

Jayden didn't need to say what's to come for Shen already know what it is. If she does put the girl in danger again could only lead to Lord Knightley to act which means he'd failed and the girl will have to marry Xiaotong. 

"So, a piece of friendly advice from the person who hates you the most. Don't invite Liz, if you do, I swear, I'll destroy the company you've built. But, don't worry... I won't bring Global Stars to ruin for it's Liz's company, and she's so attached to everyone there. I might just buy it from you." Jayden Stanford left such unpleasant words leaving Shen to boil in anger within. 

Yun Shen steps out of the gathering despite he just arrived. He didn't wish to  come but found out the girl was accompanied Xiaotong again on another social event and decided to attend. But who would what thought that Jayden Stanford would also show up, what's worse, it seems is best friend has become more bolder the more he spent time with the girl. 

He removed his tie as he unbuttoned the top buttons on his shirt. When he got to his car, he was fuming in rage and slam his hand on the wheel. 

'What should I do? Even if I don't invite her, she'll be there for she is Xiaotong's fiance. The Feng will surely want her to be there as well. Should I tell Xiaotong?'

Yun Shen turned the car engine on, before stepping on the gas, he thought of what to do. After making his decision, he stormed off to his destination.

...

Feng Xiaotong just arrived at his private estate after sending the girl home, he was just about to head to his room when he heard a car stopped in front of his house. He turned around to the servant who was heading to the front door. "Who is it?"

"Young Master, Young Master Yun is here." 

"Shen?" 

Feng Xiaotong was dumbfounded and wonder why Shen suddenly visits him at his home so late at night. He wonders if it has anything to do with what happened earlier. "I'll handle this, you can go and get some rest."

Outside, Yun Shen waited patiently. Since the servants did not open the door to welcome him which could only mean Xiaotong will be the one greeting him but is a little hesitant. 

A moment later, the door opened and Feng Xiaotong looked awkwardly at the man waiting outside his front door. "Shen, what are you doing here?"

"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Yun Shen asked. 

"Of course you can, come in." 

Both of them step inside the house and went to the lounge room. Feng Xiaotong watched as Shen seated him at the couch. He was in deep thought and wonder what the man's purpose of visiting him could be. 'I wonder what Shen wants with me, I mean, shouldn't he be pissed off of what I did?'

"Don't invite Li Zi to my grandfather's birthday." Yun Shen directly said. 

Feng Xiaotong felt a bit annoyed with Shen's commanding tone towards him. He was flabbergasted as to why the man asked him something so outrageous. "Shen, she is my fiance. I know your family likes Li Zi too and thinks of her as a part of your family. But you can't act as if you have the rights to her when you two aren't even together."

"Xiaotong, I'm telling you not to bring her so you better do as I say." Yun Shen was baffled that his friend dared go against him. It was the first time that his friend question his authority. Even though he's not the boss of him now, since before, the man always listened to him. 

"Shen, you are not my boss anymore and it seems you're forgetting who you are? I am the son of Feng and you are only the son of Yun. Please, learn some manners. Don't forget, I can bring everything we built to the ground." Feng Xiatong responded in such a cold and hostile manner. 

"You don't understand, I'm not commanding you. But I'm telling you this not because I can't stand seeing you two together but because her life might be in danger." 

"What?" Feng Xiaotong was shocked from what he just heard. As if lightning just struck him. 'Li Zi will be in danger, and I didn't know about it? How did Shen know that someone is after Li Zi's life? And what does Grandpa Yun's birthday has to do with Li Zi, I mean...'

"You mean someone is after your grandfather, if Li Zi is to come and encounter such an event happening, she'll surely do something out of good well and put herself in danger. That's why you're asking me to not let her come with me?" 

Yun Shen nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me in the first place." Feng Xiaotong frowned and raised his voice at him. 

"I did, I told you not to bring her." Yun Shen replied with the look on his face: are you stupid or what, didn't I tell you not to bring her. 

Feng Xiaotong whose been friends with the man for so long knows that look on his faces means. He clicked his tongue disappointedly at himself. 'F***! Why am I so stupid?!'
