Trial Of Love Chapter 172 - She Was But Foolish

After they've refreshed themselves, they continued to venture around the town.

This time Elizabeth grab hold of Jackie's arms preventing what happened earlier between her and Yun Shen to occur again.

Whilst they were out and about, Elizabeth suddenly received an unexpected call.

Elizabeth excused herself for a moment as she looked for a quiet place to answer the call. "Director Mo, is something wrong?"

The man on the other end was a little hesitant as he tried to explain everything to her. "Wee-Well you see... We have a small problem. One of the locations we wish to shoot has become a national park and we need permission from the city in order to shoot the movie. However, we aren't able to get a schedule with the City Lord and is causing a delay in our schedule."

Elizabeth chuckled as she was worried for no big reason. "No worries, I'll call Grandpa to handle it. Send me the details, I'll have someone send everything to you afterward."

Mo Ting was smiling hearing the girl sweet voice."I'm really sorry to bother you, dear Lizzy."

"No worries, give my regards to Grandpa Mo Director Mo," Elizabeth said as she hung up the call.

Elizabeth then walked back to where everyone was, since she walked quite a distance from them because she was worried that they might overhear their conversation.

Feng Xiaotong was curious to whom the girl was talking to on the phone. "Is everything alright Li Zi?"

"Yes President Feng, Director Mo was just having a hard time getting a permit for the movie. I told him I have a friend who can help him." Elizabeth replied, hoping they won't question her much about what they've talked about.

"I see if you need help do inform me. The company is one of the investors for it." Feng Xiaotong smiled.

"By the way, why are you managing Global Star? Aren't you the heir of the Feng family? From what I know, the Feng family is listed amongst the most powerful people in the country." Jackie asked.

Feng Xiaotong embarra.s.sedly scratched his head. "Well, I am the family heir, but I prefer doing things my way. When Shen offered me the position in managing the company I didn't hesitate at all. Like Shen, I want to start from scratch and not rely on my family."

It impressed Elizabeth hearing Feng Xiaoting's determination. Family Feng is amongst the richest family in China and all over Asia. For they are the top real estate and architectural company, building enormous skysc.r.a.pers and beautiful resorts.

As they all continued to explore the different sites, it was already past noon when they all decided to have a meal.

Since Jackie promised to pay for the meal. They did not hesitate to go all out and ate until there was no more s.p.a.ce to fill.

"Man, I'm stuff." Xiao Chen said whilst rubbing his round belly.

Feng Xiatong was exhausted from all the eating as well and was calmly drinking his warm tea when he notices the girl was still eating. "Li Zi, where do you put all of that food?"

Elizabeth who was still enjoying her meal and dessert ignored all of them as she was at peace with herself.

Sudden a napkin came out of nowhere and wipe off the smug on the side of her lips.

Elizabeth turned around and saw what Yun Shen just did and almost choked on her food.

Yun Shen did not say a word leaving the girl all fl.u.s.tered at the moment.

Jackie notice Elizabeth was in a trance of what happened. "Liz, are you alright?"

"Let have some ice cream." Elizabeth smiled trying to hide her feelings.

"Wh"

They looked at each other and screamed.

After paying for the bill, they ended up looking for an ice cream stall. They felt like puking at the sight of the food stalls everywhere, what made it worse was the scene of the girl constant eating mountains of ice cream despite she has double what they've eaten.

Jackie knew why the girl was stuffing herself up, for her it was quite amusing while others find it scary. A woman like her who looks slim and tiny yet has a stomach of a man. No one dared asked why she continued to stuff herself up, they just watch her from behind as she happily continued to eat.

Feng Xiaotong senses something is odd and was curious about something. "By the way, Jackie how long have you and Li Zi known each other?"

Jackie ponders for a moment on how she should answer the question, the fact her ident.i.ty as the Young Princess has not yet been exposed to them. "We studied at the same University, she was sponsored by the Chief Minister giving her the opportunity to study in England."

"Were you and Li Zi cla.s.smates?" Xiao Chen was eager to know about their relationship as well.

"Of course we were…" Jackie proudly answered not realizing her mistake.

"Wait... didn't she study PPE?" Feng Xiaotong confusingly asked.

Jackie bite her tongue as she realizes what she had just done. Elizabeth did study PPE whilst taking Law at the same time. Since she excels so well in Secondary year. She took some major subjects of PEE in advance and graduated during their 2nd year in law school.

"I mean, for minor subjects we were cla.s.smate." Jackie replied with an awkward smile

"Oh-"

They all nodded no longer interested in the topic.

"Was Li Zi popular back then too?" Xiao Chen moved next to Jackie and eagerly wait for the answer.

"She was but foolish…" Jackie sighed and looked upset as she answered him. She then looked at them who seemed concerned and laughed, "What am I saying, anyways... Let's go and catch up to Liz."

As Jackie run towards the girl with a full bitter smile, they were left to ponder what happened to the girl that Jackie expressed such painful expression.

Xiao Chen looked at the two girls who were smiling brightly at each other, as his expression became dismayed. "Something bad must have happened to Li Zi."

No one was able to answer Xiao Chen's curiosity as they felt it's something they should not talk about. Especially in front of the person concerned. But the thought that something did happen to the girl upset them. She was so innocent and kind-heart, who would dare hurt her?
