Chapter 234 - Union (1/2)
”Manager Quin, I'm sorry for resigning all of a sudden.” Liu Yifie apologetic tone said.
”It's fine,” she smiled happily for the girl who has found a good family to take care of her, ”I'm happy for you.”
”Manager Quin, thank you. It was thanks to you I'm able to stand where I am now. Despite you have to break the rules of the resort for me.”
”I know, your someone with a good heart, I have explained everything to Lady Zhao.”
”What?” It surprises her knowing that Manager Quin might be sacked from her job. ”I'll go talk to them.”
”Yifie calm down,” she chuckled lightly as she grabbed hold of the girl's arms.
”But, but Manager Quin, you love your job.” Liu Yifie's eyes turned red about to cry.
”And Lady Zhao knows that which is why she promoted me to be the Chief Operating Manager of the resort.”
”She what?”
”Since Lady Zhao is busy with other matters, she trusts me to make the right decisions for the resort.”
”Manager Quin, I mean Chief Quin congratulations.”
”Thank Yifie,” she said as she embraces the girl for the last time, ”Yifie shouldn't you be going now.”
”Ah- I didn't notice the time.” She said as she ran out of the office whilst waving goodbye to her mentor.
In the resort main building and front lobby.
Everyone was getting ready to leave, they were all well dressed and wearing glasses to cover themselves. Some people gave distances to them and dare not approached. Except for Lady Zhao of course...
”Where is Lizzy?” Lady Zhao asked whilst signing some of the guest's and staff's autograph books.
”Sorry to keep everyone waiting.”
They turned to where the voice came from and saw the girl carrying a lunch box. They sigh in disbelief in how she could eat none stop.
”Dear child, didn't you have breakfast?” Elder Lady Knightley inquired.
”I did, but I might get hungry later.”
”Lili, let's go?” Zhao Xinyi sighs helplessly for his sister.
”Brother wait up,” she said, as she came out of the lobby. In the corner of her eyes, from a distance, she notices Long Yiyi who face was all swollen and red. She felt bad for her but only for a moment...
”Lizzy, is something wrong?” Liu Yifie asked noticing the girl was in a daze.
Elizabeth shook her head and smiled as she answered her. ”Nothing, I'll sit in the back.”
”Xinyi, drive safely. Don't overdo it…” General Zhao firmly warned him.
”Yes, father.”
He then looked at his daughter with a gentle expression and tone. ”Yifie, tell me if he goes over the limit.”
Elizabeth was surprised her Uncle did not ask her but Yifie instead, she curiously asked him. ”Uncle how come you didn't ask me to watch brother.”
”Ha- I'm sure you'll overdo it more than your brother.” He answered her whilst giving both of them a look that states; ”I don't trust you, wild kids”.
She forced a smile feeling guilty for what her uncle mentioned and hastily nagged her brother. ”Brother, brother, let's go already.”
Zhao Xinyi then started the car engine as the guard assigned to watch them quickly got inside their car. As Xinyi drove off they too followed behind them.
”Sis Yifie, you should rest for now. It's quite a long drive.”
”It's fine, I actually want to see the scenery.”
”No worries Yifie, I'll take you to even more beautiful places in the future.”
”Thank you,” she replied as she held one of his hands.
Elizabeth saw how romantic his brother and sister were acting in front of her, her heart felt bitter for a moment. She cleared her head and suggested, ”Ah- brother let go visit Master Jiang.”
”But isn't it quite far?”
”It's along the way anyways, I want Master Jiang to bless your union.”
”But we didn't prepare anything.”
”No worries, we can bring something next time.”
Elizabeth informed everyone that they'll be visiting Master Jiang and asked them to head home first. After a few hours' drive, they arrived at the temple entrance.
”Master Jiang?” Elizabeth yelled seeing he was on the temple ground and not up in the mountain.
”Baobao,” Master Jiang gladly welcomed them as he approached the car that just arrived. ”Xixi?”
”Master Jiang, how are you?” Zhao Xinyi respectfully greeted him.
”I didn't expect to see you two to be together.” Master Jiang beamed in delight to see the two kids together for it's been a long time since he last saw them both together.
”Master thank you for your blessing last time,” Zhao Xinyi gratefully thanked him.
Master Jiang recalled the bracelet Elizabeth asked him to bless, ”Dear child it's my pleasure.”
