Trial Of Love - Chapter 227

“You what?!!!”

Zhao Xinyi collapse on the girl’s bed as he gathered all the information the girl just told him. His sister was really bold to do something so crazy while he watches all her crazy plans unfold. What happened to being the big brother? Shouldn’t he tell her the difference between right and wrong? But right now, his heart and brain weren’t in sync with each other as well.

“Like I said, I gain mother and father’s approval. Now all I need to do is…”

Elizabeth continued explaining her plans, leaving her brother’s soul to travel to the great abyss. He was totally losing himself listening to his sister’s plans. He really likes Yifie but worries because of this their family might hate her more.

“Wait, Lili…” he sighed as he pulled himself together, “Are you crazy, your planning to introduce her to the family one at the time to gain their approval.”

“Yes, which means you have to stay away.” She innocently answered him back seeing nothing wrong with her plan.

Seeing how determined his sister was, he gave in in the end. “So what’s your plan?”

“So… I’ll go fishing instead of you while you go and accompany mother and granny to the temple. At the same time, I’ll bring Sis Yifie along.”

“Lili, are you sure this will work? Father has insisted I’ll go fishing with them.” he worriedly asked how his sister will convince the elders to switch places.

“No worries, I’ll explain everything during dinner.” she confidently winked at him.

…

That evening, everyone was gathered around the dinner table. Elizabeth looked around and noticed everyone seems to be in a good mood. She took her opportunity to start her plan.

“Mom you haven’t seen brother for a long time, why don’t you take him to visit the temple tomorrow with granny.”

“Aren’t you joining us?” Lady Zhao was confused as to why the girl suddenly changed her mind when she always love visiting the temple and paying respect to the heavens.

“I want to go fishing with everyone, since father, grandpa, granddad and uncle has still not made up their mind. I’ll go fishing with them and whoever catches the biggest fish wins.”

Zhao Xinyi felt like laughing, he never thought his sister would think of something so brilliant. ‘So this was her plan all along, pretty clever little sister.’

“That’s a clever idea, son you go with your mother and grandmother to the temple.” General Zhao said.

“I will father,” he replied whilst eyeing on the girl happily eating her desserts.

“So it’s settled then, early tomorrow morning I’ll go fishing with everyone.”

…

After dinner, Elizabeth was in her room preparing for tomorrow’s fishing trip. As soon as she was done with all her preparations, she headed out of her room in search of Liu Yifie.

“Excuse me, have you seen Liu Yifie?” she asked one of the staff.

“She should be in the staff quarter Young Princess.”

“Thank you.”

Elizabeth was so energetic when she comes across Liu Yifie walking down the hall.

“Sis Yifie.”

Liu Yifie was surprised to see the girl running towards her, “What are you doing here?”

“I came to see you,” she answered.

“Is something wrong?”

“Are you free tomorrow morning?”

“My shift does not start until lunchtime tomorrow, why?”

“Can you accompany me tomorrow, you don’t need to prepare anything just yourself.”

“Sure, as long as we get back before my shift.”

“Good, here…” she said, handing her the paper bag she was carrying, “Come meet me at the lobby by 4 AM.”

Liu Yifie was dumbfounded as to why they need to be up so early. “That early?”

“Yes, is there a problem?” she curiously asked.

“No, just curious where you’re planning to go so early in the morning.”

As she was about to leave before Liu Yifie became more suspicious of her she recalled something important. “By the way, do you get seasick?”

“No, why?”

“Just asking, get some rest now. I’ll see you tomorrow,” she replied as she started running off again.

As she watched the girl shadow disappeared around the corner, she looked inside the bag and saw surprised to see the clothes inside. She wondered why she gave her such luxurious clothes at the same time where will they be going.

…

It was not even 4 in the morning and Elizabeth was anxiously waiting by the lobby. She was pacing back and forth wondering what’s talking Liu Yifie so long. Then suddenly, around the corner, Liu Yifie came out all dress with the clothes she gave her last night.

“Sis Yifie, you’re finally here.”

“Lizzy, did you wait long?” Liu Yifie embarrassedly asked seeing the girl must have waited a long time for her.

“No worries.”

“So, where are we going to dress like this?” Liu Yifie asked seeing the girl was also dress like her, in simple jeans, but wearing layers of long sleeves and a thick jacket.

“You’ll see, come,” she answered as she grabbed a hold of her hands.

There was a little light in the sky when Elizabeth and Liu Yifie arrived at the port.

“Lizzy, are we going to the sea?”

Elizabeth nodded her head. “Yup.”

As the two of them got down the car, an old man approached them and was surprised to see an unfamiliar person with his granddaughter.

“Darling, what took you so long.”

“Granddad, I brought a friend with me.” she grabbed hold of Lui Yifie’s hands and introduced her, “Granddad this is Liu Yifie.”

“Elder Lord Knightley, a pleasure to meet you.” she replied anxiously since she did not expect to be with them.

“I see you brought Yifie,” Lord Knightley appeared behind the old man.

Elder Lord Knightley turned to his son and asked, “You know this lady?”

“Father she the young lady Weiwei was talking about yesterday.”

“I see, welcome child.”

“Good morning, Lord Knightley.”

“Is Grandpa and Uncle here already?” Elizabeth asked.

“There both here, your Uncle checking if everything is ready.” Lord Knightley said.

“Come Sis Yifie, I’ll introduce you to them.”

“What a fine girl,” Elder Lord Knightley smiled seeing how much life the girl brought to his granddaughter.

“Hmm.” Lord Knightley.

It was already sunrise when they sailed to the sea. The sky was covered in the shade of orange, yellow and slightly red. The strong morning sea breeze was slightly cold as they sailed ahead.

“So it’s true you work for the resort then child?” Elder Chief Zhao asked.

“Yes, Chief Minister…” she replied anxiously worried that she might make a fool of herself.

“Have you finished your studies?” General Zhao asked,

“I haven’t General,” she said as she averted her gaze from them and looked down.

“How come?”

“I just don’t want to rely on them, if possible I’ll work to reach my goals.”

“Very well said,” Elder Chief Zhao said.

“Everyone we’re here,” Elizabeth spoke aloud as she steps out to the deck.

“Darling be careful,” Elder Chief Zhao sighed since the waves were quite strong.

“Sis Yifie, come with me,” she said ignoring everyone’s concern for her as she dragged the girl away from them. “You can help me prepare the ingredient.”

“Sure thing.”

“Hurry up and catch some fish or we might end up eating only leaves,” Elizabeth announced.

“That child of yours.” Elder Lord Knightley chuckled.

“What am I gonna do with her.” Lord Knightley sighed.

“Come now Brother-in-law have you forgotten why we are here.” General Zhao proudly challenged him.

“Of course not, but… you do know, I have never lost.”

“Will see about that.”

As the man started casting their lines into the sea, whilst Liu Yifie and Elizabeth prepared the ingredients. It was not long when one of them caught a fish, but it was not that great but was enough to be eaten.

“Thank heavens Bro Chou was able to catch one or else will starve Sis Yifie.”

Her words were like heaven and hell for Chou. Seeing everyone was glaring coldly at him, the praise he received was really unnecessary since he saw the gateway of hell opening. When he glanced at the master who seems to be pointing a gun at his back.

‘Young Miss, why are you being so mean.’
