noticing the microphone at the side, she thought for a moment before she pulled it down and said, awakening the dazed audience "Thank you my fam, this song\'s for you"

That was all she said. No reason, no sentimental words, nor did she mention any person. All she did was to say thank you, picking the audience as well as her family\'s curiosity, but for what? The following song answered their curiosity.

Inhaling a deep breath, Sia closed her eyes and played the keys on the piano followed by her sweet voice. With a faint smile on her face, she glanced up at the first floor, where she saw her family looking at her with anticipation but with a hint of nervousness, her smile widened. Shaking her head, she bowed her head and focussed on playing the video.

When the audience heard the lyrics of her song, they could not help but feel amazed.

The lyrics portrayed an individual\'s life, and how their family supports, loves, and stands at the back, protecting their loved one from the heat and storm.

It highlights the love shared by the members of a family and how they share their happiness, pain, sadness, their struggle, victory with one another, acting as a pillar to each other\'s life.

Not everyone could depict the meaning and emotion conveyed by the song. Only those who had experienced all the emotion and had the strongest bond with their family were able to understand Sia, and among them were a few families like the Chen\'s, Rao, Mu\'s, An\'s, Li\'s, Su\'s....etc.

Even when the song came to an end, people below and above were unable to react as they were still immersed in realizing the meaning of the song.

It was only when the director started to clap did the audience return to their sense and started to applaud Sia with a standing ovation.

Though not comparable to those music masters, it was still a great deal for a non musician to play the song soo well.

As the audience were too immersed in congratulating Sia, none of them noticed the Rao families unusual behaviour.

Leaning against Mr. Rao\'s embrace, Mrs. Rao shoulder shook as she cried silently. Though Mr. Rao was as emotional as Mrs. Rao, because of a man\'s strong heart and due to his years of experience he was able to hold back his tears.

On the other side, just like his father, Evan was also able to hold his emotion due to his profession but grandpa Rao was different.

Because of his age, he could not controll his emotion that well and ended up tearing even after trying his best.

Standing at the side, Mr, Steward sighed before passing the tissue to Master Rao to wipe his tears.

On the stage, after she was done with her performance, Sia stood up gracefully before she bowed to the audience and prepared to leave.

Just as she was about to leave, the director who was the acting judge picked his mic unhurriedly and asked "Wait a minute!"

Pausing on her footsteps, Sia looked at the director expressionlessly.

Seeing that the student has paused, the director cleared his throat and asked "I apologize for my impoliteness but student Sia, if you don\'t mind may I know the writer of the song?"

After a momentary shock, Sia replied indifferently "Well, I wrote it myself"

Though shocked, the director soon returned back to his sense. With a smile, he said "No wonder you could put all the emotions into the song at the right place. It\'s very surprising to see such a young song writer. If there is a chance, I would love to hear your song again"

Smiling gracefully, Sia nodded to the director and answered "You overpraised me but thank you"

Nodding her head politely to the director, Sia did not hold onto the stage anymore and stepped down since there was another performance left.

Soon after Sia stepped down, Zhen Wei stepped forward to start the last part of the eve that was prize issuing ceremony.

Before Sia could change her outfit, she was once again called upon the stage to receive the award for special performance.

Holding the troppy in her hand, she moved her gaze away from the trophy towards the first floor only to see her family clapping their hands proudly.

Shaking her head, she thanked Chairman Zhen and the audience before stepping down.

Just as she made her way towards her room, she bumped into the silly John who was grinning ear to ear.

Glancing at the award in her hand, he whistled "Woah....look at that. Someone who wanted to lay low ended up attracting the whole crowd" pretending to clear his throat, John stretched his fist towards Sia and asked "Ms. Sia, how do you feel after receiving the Special formance award"

Since Sia was in good mood, She went along with John\'s play and answered "Well, I feel very honored to receive the special performance award. I\'m very thankful to myself for being so excellent and beautiful"

Scoffing at her narcissim inwardly, John continued to ask "How do you plan to celebrate?"

"Offcourse by spending my dear little brother John\'s money" Sia joked

Shocked, John stopped pretending and asked "Hey, why should I spend money when you were the one who won the award?"

"Well, it\'s because you are my little brother?" Sia said while pinching his nose like a big sister.

Seeing that the later was at the verge of crying, she waved her hand and said "Enough with messing around. Here, help me pass this to my fam" Sia said. After passing the award, she waved at John and made her way to the changing room.

Arriving at the changing room, Sia felt something was amiss when she noticed that the three of them seemed to be in an argument.

Stepping inside, she asked with a frown "What\'s going on here?"

"Sia!" just as An Ran was about to step forward, Xiao Li beat her to it and walked towards her.

Staring at her coldly, Xiao Li tried her best to suppress her anger as she asked "Were you the one who asked Shen Yi to replace the male lead?"

Startled, Sia stared at Xiao Li for a moment before she flashed a guilty smile and said "Uhm sorry, it was indeed me but-"

without giving her a chance to explain, Xiao Li raised her hand and interupted her with a cold smile "Never knew you were soo nosy. Do you feel good to meddle with others feelings huh?"

Hearing her umpleasant words, Sia frowned and was about to explain herself but before she could Xiao Li once again interuppted her "Enough, I don\'t want to hear your excuses. Sia, listen to me carefully. If you still wish to stay as my friend then please don\'t overstep your boundries"

Staring at Xiao Li for a minute, Sia asked expressionlessly "If not?"

Inhaling a deep breath, Xiao Li answered coldly "If not, we don\'t have to remain as friends any longer"

Nodding her head in understanding, Sia smiled coldly and said "Sorry for overstepping my boundries" with that said, Sia turned around and prepared to leave

"Sia" Su Yan called out worriedly and was about to follow her when Sia raised her hand and stopped her "Don\'t follow me, just give me some time alone"

With that said, Sia walked out of the room.

Feeling annoyed, Su Yan turned around and went to the side to sit.

But after waiting for a long time, when they did not see Sia return, Su Yan could not hold on any longer. Standing up, she said "I\'m going to find her" with that said she left the room.

But not long after, Su Yan suddenly hurried inside and said "This is bad...."
