Trial Of Love Chapter 232 - Better To Gain Another Child Than To Lose One

Those who heard what the old man just said started whispering to each other.

"Did Chief Minister Zhao just called her granddaughter?"

"But she doesn't look like Lady Zhao at all."

"Didn't the Young Princess have the same colored hair as the Knightley?"

The old man was furious when he saw the woman slap the poor girl. If Elder Lady Knightley did not inform him about the girl's status in the family, he would not have gotten involved for he saw the manager was handling it well. But to his surprise, the woman was too arrogant and brave enough to dare slap the manager and insult his own daughter and resort.

The three elders approached the poor girl all in tears. It surprises them when Elder Lord Knightley removed his coat and wrapped it around the girl's shoulder.

Elder Lady Knightley felt so bad for the poor girl. She was all covered in tears and the red mark on her face upsetted her. "Dear child, are you alright?"

"Lady Knightley I'm fine," she smiled as she tries to control her tears but they won't stop falling.

"Madam, can you explain to me why you just slap my granddaughter?" Elder Chief Zhao's cold voice echoed all over the room.

"Elder Chief Zhao, it's a misunderstanding." Madam Long's trembling voice answered as she realizes what she has done. Not only did her daughter caused a scene, but she also made a fool of herself in front of the Zhao and Knightley elders.

"I didn't know she was the Young Princess."

Her words snap the senses in Elder Lord Knightley. To think the woman would dare bring up his own granddaughter's name. Such a wicked woman to use his own granddaughter's name as an excuse. The so-called well mannered and calm man turned into a beast. "H So, if she wasn't my granddaughter you'll slap her still?"

"Lord Knightley, I..."

"Yifie!"

Madam Long could not finish her words when a man hastily pushed through the crowds. Everyone's attention turned to the young man who worriedly looked at the poor girl.

Zhao Xinyi soften his tone as he looked at the girl, "What happened?"

"Xinyi, let's go…" she cried noticing that they have caught quite an audience and she was frightened of Elder Chief Zhao and the sudden change in Elder Lord Knightley's manner and expression.

Elder Lady Knightley detected how shaken up the girl was. She wrapped her arms around her as she spoke up in a calm manner. "Dear let's go, Yifie is already too frightened."

Not a word was spoken as they walked away. Manager Quin was surprised to find out that one of her employees was a grandchild of the Zhao. 'So that's why she was given a second chance to work.' She smiled seeing the girl was in good hands now.

Inside a private reception hall. Elizabeth was busy arranging everything with the help of the servants. Whilst her parents and uncle happily watched her.

"Lili seems to be in a good mood." General Zhao said to his sister.

Both parents stay quiet as they already knew why their daughter was this happy. They just hope all her plans will get the result she wants.

Suddenly, their attention turned to the door when they saw Liu Yifie being escorted by her grandmother at the same time her face was all red and swollen.

"My dear, what happened?" Lady Zhao asked as she got up from her seat and run towards the door.

Elizabeth drops what she was doing and hastily when over as well. "Sis Yifie, what happened to your face?"

"Lizzy, everyone, I'm fine. Thank you…" she forced a smile but the tears in her eyes rolled in the end.

"How dare they bully you," Zhao Xinyi punched the wall forgetting the people around.

"Xinyi, what's going on?" General Zhao confusedly asked why his son was all worked up at the same time why everyone seems to be so concerned about the girl.

"Xinyi don't you have something to tell us?" Elder Chief Zhao said as he sat on one of the chairs.

"Brother…" she looked at him telling him it's time to tell them the truth.

Zhao Xinyi walked closer to Liu Yifie and grab her hand, "Everyone, I like to introduce Liu Yifie, my fiance."

"You're what?" General Zhao yelled and slammed his hand on the table. When did his son get a fiance? He then looked at his niece and realized why everything was well arranged.

"Father, she the woman I wish to spend the rest of my life with."

"Xinyi, have you lost your mind!"

Liu Yifie started trembling, seeing how frightening General Zhao has become. No one intervened since it was a battle between father and son.

"Father, I love her, even if you don't approve of it. I'll marry her."

"Xinyi, I know we've been pressuring you to marry, but…" General Zhao sighed helplessly for he doesn't know what to say to his son.

"Father, even if you disowned me, I'll only marry Yifie."

Zhao Xinyi's words surprised everyone especially Lui Yifie. She did not expect he'll go to that extended just to be with her.

"How dare you..." General Zhao yelled as he clenched his fist about to punched his own son but was stopped when Lui Yifie stood in front of him.

"Please, don't hurt Xinyi. I know I am not worthy for your son, I get it," she cried as she courageously faces the man. "But I do love your son General Zhao."

Elizabeth has had enough and grabs hold of his uncle's hands, she really didn't wish to intervene but it seems his brother and future sister-in-law needs a hand. "Uncle, didn't you say you like Sis Yifie."

"Lili, you planned all of this didn't you." For once he looked angrily at his beloved princess.

She saw that her words weren't getting through to her uncle at all. So she raised her voice and stand firm on the ground as she challenges him. "Uncle, I'm sorry if I played tricks with you and everyone! But, I just want brother to be happy and I like Sis Yifie as well. If you don't approve of her then you don't have me as a daughter anymore!"

Everyone's eyes widen when they heard the girl declared such words in front of everyone.

Lady Zhao saw the expression on her husband's face and was worried about what her daughter might say due to her anger. She calmly walked over to her brother and calmed the situation down. "Brother, I do like Yifie as well and so does Rob. And remember, Rob and Lizzy, don't easily trust anyone. As his mother, I'll always support my child happiness."

General Zhao looked helplessly at his father who hasn't said a word at all, "Father?"

Elder Chief Zhao was too worried that his precious granddaughter would be angry with him as well. He dare not get involved and answered his son. "He is your son and you should know what's best for him."

General Zhao sighed as he looked at the couple in front of him. He saw in the girl's eye how sincere her feeling was for his son. "It's better to gain another child than to lose one."

"Father does that mean…" Zhao Xinyi was speechless as he looked at his father.

"Yifie, welcome to the family." General Zhao patted the girl on the head.

It surprises General Zhao when his beloved princess suddenly hugged him. He looked at her who was overjoyed by the news.

"I know you'll be scared to lose me, Uncle."

"Of course, your my beloved princess." He said as he wrapped one arm around her and the other around Yifie and embrace both of them. Zhao Xinyi also approached his father and embrace all three of them.

Everyone then welcomes Lui Yifie into the family. The two ladies hugged happily as they welcome their future daughter and granddaughter-in-law.

Then Mr. Yan entered the room with a doctor.

"How is her face?" Zhao Xinyi worriedly asked.

"Xinyi, it's fine." Liu Yifie giggled seeing how nervous he looked.

"The Young Miss is right, everything will be fine. Just apply the cream so it will heal quicker." The doctor explained as he then greeted everyone and left.

"Those Longs have really gotten on my nerves." Elder Chief coldly spoke as he slammed his fist on the armchair. "Not only did they bully Lizzy but now Yifei as well."

"Don't worry father, I'll handle it." General Zhao said.

Liu Yifie panicky thought of what they do to the Longs and spoke up. "Elder Chief, General Zhao I'm fine. Please let it be, I'm sure they won't harm me again now they know who I am."

Everyone was suddenly surprised when they heard a strange sound coming from the man who hardly reacts.

Lady Zhao looked at her husband confusedly and asked. "Dear, what's so funny?"

"Nothing, she really is like Liz." His calm and expressionless expression returned as he explained.

Hearing what the man just said, they now realize why both father and daughter were so fond of her. The girl might be more gentle and timid compared to her, but they have the same kind and big heart. At the same time, they got bullied by the same family.
