A few days have pa.s.sed since the incident. Elizabeth continued her day feeling at a loss for no reason. She continued to ponder as to why she felt like she has forgotten something important. But everyone kept a.s.suring her that she hasn"t so she didn"t bother about it.
Professor Petrovich never returned to Imperial Garden Plaza after leaving nor have they heard from Yun Shen as well.
Everyone put what happened in the back of their head forgetting it ever happened.
"Baby, what"s wrong?" Lady Zhao said, noticing the girl was in a daze staring at an empty canvas.
Elizabeth was startled to see her mother suddenly appeared from behind her. "Mom, what are you doing here?"
"Lizzy, are you sure you"re fine?" Lady Zhao repeated her question.
"I am… why?"
"Elizabeth, be honest, what"s wrong?"
Elizabeth felt uncomforted under her mother"s intense gaze. She wonders what she could have possibly done that her mother even called her by her name.
"Did my mother just called me Elizabeth, this just means she really angry."
"Mother, I"m fine, really." She responded clueless as to why her mother was upset with her.
"Elizabeth, if you"re fine how come you"ve forgotten will be doing the first shoot of the movie today." Lady Zhao bluntly told her realizing something was not right with her daughter.
"Wait... Wait?"
Elizabeth hastily grabs her phone, it surprises her to see the vast amount of messages and missed calls.
"Mother?" she said with such a confused expression.
"Baby, what"s wrong? You"ve been visiting the studio for days yet you have done nothing…"
Elizabeth looked at the empty canvas in front of her, she indeed has not painted anything at all. She ponders as to why she isn"t herself lately. Her mind seems empty, but why does her heart feel so heavy.
"Baby, tell me the truth, what"s wrong?" Lady Zhao worriedly embraces her tightly.
"Mother, to be honest, I don"t know…" she sighed and added, "We should get going, I still need to go to the company."
Elizabeth released herself from her mother"s embrace. Lady Zhao"s heart ache to see the girl so distress, leaving her to wonder what bothering her lately.
"Li Zi?"
It startled Elizabeth when someone suddenly grabs hold of her arms.
"Bro w.a.n.g, I"m sorry…"
"I was so worried, you didn"t answer any of my calls last night and this morning. I thought something bad happened to you…"
"I"m fine, I was just preoccupied."
"I see, Director Mo and his father are here already. They have been waiting for you."
w.a.n.g Ji and Elizabeth headed to the room where everyone was waiting for them. Everyone was over the moon to see Li Zi, they started greeting her and asking her how she"s been.
"Director Mo, Grandpa Mo, I"m sorry for keeping you waiting…"
"It"s alright, Weiwei explained everything." Elder Director Mo said.
"Li Zi are you sure you want to start now?" Director Mo added.
"We"ve already put the schedule behind last time because of me, I don"t see any reason for us to postpone it further. Plus, I wasn"t badly hurt."
"If you say so…" Director Mo didn"t argue further.
Moments later, Feng Xiaotong arrived as well.
The a.s.sistant director then called for everyone"s attention as Director Mo make his announcement.
"As you all know, we"ll all be traveling together later to shoot for the movie. You all recall why we asked you to keep everything a big secret at the same time, why you all needed to sign a disclosure contract, let me present to you all the reasons why…"
Feng Xiaotong then opened the door, stepping inside the room was an elegant Asian woman. Behind her were two bodyguards, a man who seems to be her stylist and two female a.s.sistants, and last her manager. Everyone"s eyes were fixed on the woman that just entered the room. They were in disbelief of what they were seeing...
"It"s Lady Zhao."
"G.o.ddess Zhao."
"The G.o.ddess is here."
Elizabeth controlled her laugher seeing everyone"s expression, she didn"t believe her mother could be such a heavenly being that they all started praising her.
"Everyone, I"ll all be in your care. Let"s all work together to make sure this movie is a success."
The entire room was in an uproar almost like a jungle as they all cheered and agreed to what Lady Zhao stated.
"Alright, everyone, let"s all work hard." Director Mo added.
Everyone then headed out of the building as they each got on the bus. Elizabeth, of course, got on the van that was prepared for her as well did Lady Zhao on her own van.
Inside Li Zi"s Van...
"Sis Li Zi I can"t believe you"ll be working with G.o.ddess Zhao. She hasn"t acted for many years…" Liying ecstatically said.
"Are you really that happy to see Lady Zhao Liying?"
"Of course, I"ve must live a good life in the past that I get to work with Lady Zhao."
"Actually... Liying, Lady Zhao did a movie 10 years ago. It was the last movie she did and the last movie the Young Princess did as well." w.a.n.g Ji unexpectedly spoke.
"What the Young Princess acted?" Liying gape surprised at what w.a.n.g Ji just relieved.
Elizabeth was intensely gazing at w.a.n.g Ji amazed that he knew about it. Despite it wasn"t clearly reported whether the Young Princess did or did not star in the movie. For no one in the crew spilled the beans. But quite a lot of people and reporters conspired together to find out the truth, but the case was close in the end.
"The Young Princess is actually a child actress. If I"m not wrong, she started at the age of three and ended up doing movies up until the age of thirteen. She then moved on and if I"m not wrong, she did modelling, but that"s just me guessing and doing my research..."
"Manager w.a.n.g you sure know a lot," Liying praised him for his knowledge about the Young Princess.
Whilst Liying continued to praise w.a.n.g Ji, it left a bitter taste on Elizabeth. She wasn"t pleased that he knew so much about her. She started feeling uneasy about the situation.
"Was she really a model?" Liying asked.
"Wait…"
w.a.n.g Ji then handed his phone to Liying which made her stare at Li Zi closely, "Li Zi, she looked exactly like you…"
"Almost, the Young Princess has the same sapphire eyes as her father and golden-brunette hair." w.a.n.g Ji said whilst glancing at Li Zi.
Elizabeth sighed as she realized w.a.n.g Ji must have known and realized everything already about her ident.i.ty, "Bro w.a.n.g right, maybe our ancestors are closely related, which is why I looked almost like the Young Princess and Lady Zhao."
"That could be it," Liying said as she pa.s.sed the phone back to w.a.n.g Ji.
Elizabeth looked out the window and ponder when w.a.n.g Ji realized she was the Young Princess. w.a.n.g Ji has always been curious about her ident.i.ty. She wonders, maybe since the day he"s been dropping her off at the same location where Long and Chou picked her up was the clue for him to realize who she was. If that was the reason, she really regrets being picked up by them. But it was already too late...
As her mind continues to wander off on her own, she suddenly thought of what will happen if Shen one day knows about her ident.i.ty. The fact the man already confessed to her...
"Hmm, should I tell him?"
w.a.n.g Ji notices the girl seems to be in deep thought, he wonders what she could be thinking of. He smiled, thinking he was right about the girl"s ident.i.ty at the same time troubled since he knows about the relationship between her and the Young Master Yun. The fact the Young Master wasn"t interested in the Young Princess but with her "Li Zi". He fears that the future ahead for them is smooth.
"I wonder if Young Master Yun knows about her ident.i.ty already?"
