Chapter 297 - Our Mission (1/2)

Huang Ming's gentle voice woke Elizabeth up from her quick nap. She was feeling a slight headache after all the drama that had played. She was experiencing extreme mental fatigue, she doesn't know how to pull herself together. ”Bro Ming, are we here?”

”Yeah, are you alright? You look quite pale,” Huang Ming concernedly asked.

”I'm fine.”

They got out of the van and outside, Yixing Zhang was waiting for them. He too was surprised to see how the girl looked and inquired.

”Li Zi, are you alright? You complexion is deathly pale!” he asked.

Elizabeth chuckled hearing the exact same question asked not a minute ago repeating again.

”Bro Zhang, I'm fine... I'm just exhausted today since I had school.”

When the family of four got out of the van, the father and children remained indifferent. Only the woman's face turned ugly when she saw where they were standing. She had expected they'll be staying at the most luxurious apartment but to her surprise, they weren't even near the National Park at all.

”What is this? This isn't here home! Is she planning to let us live here?” The woman grabbed hold of the man's arm as she vented her disappointment on him.

”Quiet down, be thankful she hasn't sent us to prison.” The man responded already on the edge of his fear that any minute soon, he'll be thrown into prison.

”What? Are you willing to stay here? Don't you know she lives in Knight Park? So, so why are we living here? Th-this” She continued to mutter such nonsense while neither the father nor his children found any of the girl's arrangement unacceptable. They were already grateful that they can still be together and not be thrown in the streets and worst, prison.

Yixing Zhang noticed the quarrel between them and approached them. He looked coldly with hostility at them, displeased at the fact that because of them, Li Zi's reputation and career might be affected.

”Is there something wrong?”

”No, nothing at all.” The man hastily replied, fearing that they might caught into their conversation.

”Don't tell me you aren't pleased of your current accommodation? Don't tell me you don't want to live here?” Yixing Zhang was right on the nose of what he just declared. He became more enraged, but was immediately put under control when he felt someone holding onto his hand.

”Li Zi, I'm…”

Elizabeth shook her head stating that he had done nothing wrong. She knew very well he only acted in such manner because he wishes to protect her. But right now, this is her battle and she needs to be the one to bring the truth to light. ”Bro Zhang, let's go inside...”

She grabbed hold of his arms as her gaze landed on the four who continue to stand firmly in the same spot. They all looked curiously at the girl, wondering whether she was indeed a fool or just acting like one.

”Do you think she knows that we're playing a trick on her?” The young girl asked her father.

”Don't worry, I'm sure we won't get into trouble. Miss Yuexi promised us. As long as we finished our job, we can leave at once.” he responded, hoping that his words can comfort his children's concerns.

”What do you mean, leave? are you stupid or what? The girl thinks we are her family. She is only having second thoughts because of those guys. Once we win her over, she'll truly treat us better. She is one of the best actresses in the country. What's more she 's also an international model. Do you know how much she earns for a month's worth of work?

” The woman declared, suggesting that they will be staying with her even after the contract they made with Yuexi An.
