Chapter 288 - Learning From Chef Li Zi

The day after the shoot of . The cast of and all arrived at National Forest Park.

Wu Leo: "Hey, guys wassup?"

Yang Zi: "Senior good afternoon."

Long Tao: "Everyone this is my wife."

Yuexi An: "So, where is Li Zi?"

Before anyone could answer Yuexi An, they all turned around when they saw the girl running and calling out for them. As always, she was dressed so simple attire; only with a dirty brown woolen jumper, light blue jeans, and brown heel boots. With no makeup and accessories at all, but still looked charming. 

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Everyone greeted the girl first as they introduce the guest with them. 

"So Li Zi, why are we at Nation Forest Park?" Deng Lun asked. 

"Well, my house is nearby also we need to go to the supermarket to buy the ingredients for the food you wish to cook." 

Everyone looked at each other confusedly, they did not expect they'll be going to the supermarket. The fact some of them haven't been in the market for a long time. 

SM Mart

All the staff and people shopping were all eye's on the group of celebrities that just arrived. They were all in a daze and didn't know how to react seeing so many celebrities gather in one place. 

"Alright, what do you wish to eat later?" Elizabeth asked everyone's opinion as they all blurted out different dishes and argued with each other. 

The people in the store time to time approached their idols and asked for their picture. Of course, they did not hesitate and interacted with their fans. 

Once they reach the counter, they have two full carts of food. They argued who should pay for it, but in the end Elizabeth paid since she insisted they'll be going to her house. 

It was a ten-minute walk to Knights Park. 

When they all arrived, they were all in a daze to see where they were all standing. Once they realize where they were, they started questioning the girl. 

"Li Zi, you live here?"

"Wow, Li Zi didn't expect you to live in such class apartment."

Elizabeth just smiled as they all got inside the lift. They didn't inquire which floor the girl lived when they notice her pressing on the top floor which is the penthouse. 

When Yuexi An witness it for herself, she felt like fainting. Her plan to humiliate the girl was all washed down the drained. 

'How the f*ck did she afford such an expensive apartment. Not only that, but the penthouse.'

When they all arrived at Elizabeth's apartment, the girl keyed in the code to open the door. When they heard the door unlock they did not doubt the girl that she really lives here. 

"Sis Li Zi, your house…" Yang Zi was unable to finish what she wishes to express when she was great by the open view of the city outside

"Wow, Li Zi how did you?" Even Lin Qin, who was married to a rich tycoon does not own such a well decorated and exclusive house. 

Elizabeth did not answer them and showed them around instead. To be honest, she does not know how to explain to everyone how she could afford such a luxurious apartment. 

"Xiao Zi, if you like any of the dress pick some. You can have it." Elizabeth stated as she showed them around her walk-in closet. In the end, it was not only Yang Zi who picked out some cloths but also the other guest as long as they suited them. 

Yuexi An felt like puking seeing all the designer clothes inside the closet. Even though she's an international model, she doesn't even own this many clothes at all, nor has she even seen some of the items before.

After they finished touring the girl's entire home, they were all left curious who the heck the girl is. She is so mysterious that they wondered which family she from. Even though the reporters say she's an orphan they just don't buy it. The fact elite people normally can hide and change their identity. 

"Alright, should we start?" Elizabeth asked as she wraps the apron around her waist.

Those who wish to help out, put an apron on while the other carefully observe them. 

They all washed the vegetable and fresh ingredients first. Afterward, the girl demonstrated how to clean the fish and other kinds of seafood. It impressed them how she made it look so simple, but still challenging for them. Once done cleaning and washing all the seafood ingredients, the girl listed out all the simplest way to cook them. 

All eyes were fixed on the girl's hand as she slices every ingredient like a professional chef. During her demonstration, no one spoke a word and continue to be mesmerized by the girl's talent. 

"Should we start cooking?"

They could only nod and obediently followed all the girl's instructions. 

Suddenly Leo Wu walked out of the kitchen and grab his phone, "Everyone, smile." 

He then posted the picture on his page and captioned it: Learning from Chef Li Zi in her beautiful home with…

Since Leo Wu tagged everyone, soon not only his fans, but the others started sharing and commenting as well. 

The others felt jealous of what Leo Wu did and soon started taking selfies and groupie with everyone from time to time. As Yixing Zhang started taking candid photos of everyone, especially the girl who was focused on teaching everyone and did not notice at all. 

It was already late when they all finished cooking everything. They brought all the food to the living room as they set the foldable table. 

Mrs. Long raised the first glass and said: "Li Zi, thank you for teaching and inviting us to your home. Once I'm as good as you, I'll invite you to our home as well."

"Cheers!"

Apart from Yuexi An, everyone's face was beaming with glee. They were all contented with each other company and felt so relaxed. 

They all started inquiring about the girl's background and soon became speechless. 

"So it's really true you studied abroad." Leo Wu said.

"Sis Li Zi, don't you plan to be an idol? I saw your performance with Lu Han during the festival." Yang Zi added.

"By the way, Li Zi, are the rumors about you and President Feng true?" Long Tao curiously asked whilst glancing at Huang Ming and Yixing Zhang's reaction. 

Elizabeth chuckled hearing such ridiculous questions. She wiped her tears running down her eyes and answer: "Me and President Feng are just friends. Plus, he's my boss."

Shi Yan asked: "Then how about the Young Master of Yun?"

Mrs. Long added: "I'm curious about that as well since you've been spotted spending time with his daughter."

Elizabeth was surprised but kept the same composure, as she forced another laughed. "Me and Young Master Yun are just friends as well. As you know, I saved his daughter and since then we kept in contact. Also, the Young Master is friends with President Feng. Anyway, who am I to like Young Master Yun when the Young Princess is with him already." 

Everyone nodded and agreed with what the girl said. Mentioning the Young Princess's name in front of everyone cleared the suspicion between her and Yun Shen. It's true, who is she compared to the Young Princess. But she did not expect when Leo Wu opened his mouth. 

"Sis Li Zi, by chance are you the Young Princess?"

Everyone's attention then turned to Leo Wu as to why he suddenly spouted such nonsense. 

"Well, I'm not the only one thinking about it. Honestly, a lot of people online has suspected you're the Young Princess after the accident. Even though they explained that you two are a completely different person. There are photos of the Young Princess online when she was a child and seriously you two really looked alike. Apart from your hair and eyes, it seems like the two of you are twins."

Huang Ming was too curious and directly asked Leo Wu: "What news?"

Leo Wu got his phone out and showed everyone a forum discussing the similarity between Li Zi and the Young Princess. 

As they continue to read the post online and photos posted, they soon doubted their eyes as they too realize and notice the similarity between the two. 

Elizabeth just kept to herself as everyone continues to gaze at her obsessively. 

"But who knows, maybe your ancestors are connected that's why you two looked like each other." Leo Wu concluded since he read some post suggesting it could be to their ancestors being blood relatives. 

Eventually, everyone did not ponder on it further and agreed with Leo Wu's conclusion since it seems to be the most sensible and logical explanation of them all. 

That evening everyone forgot all the rumors about the girl and continue to enjoy each other presence instead. But the thought of that the girl in front of them could be the Young Princess did not leave their mind.

Yang Zi, Mrs. Long went ahead and help cleaned the kitchen while everyone else continue to finish the remaining food whilst the boys started drinking with each other. 

"Li Zi, I'm sorry to have troubled you." Mrs. Long said, seeing her husband was drowning himself in alcohol already. 

"Mrs. Long, it's fine... Everyone seems to be having fun, so no need to worry about such a matter."

"Sis Li Zi, let me dry the dishes for you." Yang Zi grabs the plates and started drying them. 

Whilst the three ladies worked together in the kitchen, Yuexi An excused herself as she answered her phone. 

"Hurry up and pick me up!"

Moments later, everyone was startled when they heard the doorbell rung. Huang Ming went ahead and opened the door. 

"Sorry, is Yuexi around, I've been calling her, but she's not answering her phone." Yuexi An's manager acted as if he just came to pick her up. 

"Yuexi An, your manager is here." Huang Ming called aloud as he welcomes the man inside the house. 

When the manager saw the reason why Yuexi An wishes to go home, he could only sigh and gave up. Despite he dislikes the girl because of what happened during Perfect's audition, as time passed by, he saw how innocent the girl was and soon realize she means no harm at all. She was just charming and lucky for being where she is now. She works hard unlike Yuexi An who complains if things does not work out her way. 

"Yuexi, let's go... You still have an early flight tomorrow." 

Yuexi An went ahead and thank the girl for her hospitality and for inviting her. "Junior Li Zi, thank you for inviting me. I try my best to invite you to my home as well."

"Your welcome."

Everyone watched as Yuexi An left with her manager. When the door closed Leo Wu did not hold back and speak his man. 

"Finally, she's gone, I was wondering when she'll leave after what she did to you last time. Sis Li Zi, you better be careful around her. I don't think she's planning to play all nice with you." 

"Why did something happen?" Long Tao asked, curious as to why everyone seems to be showing such hostility towards Yuexi An. 

"Just watch the show." Huang Ming answered not in the mood to talk about the girl at all. 

"Everyone, forget about it. What's important is we're all having fun." Elizabeth said, after she sends Yuexi An and her manager out. 

"Sis Li Zi, you're too kind." Yang Zi commented coming out of the kitchen after finishing all the dishes. 

Everyone smiled and pushed the image of Yuexi An in the back of their mind as if she was not worth thinking of. What's important now is for them all to enjoy what's in front of them now. 

...

Meanwhile, inside Yuexi An's car. The girl was emitting such ill will. All the anger she bottled up finally exploded. 

"How did she afford such an expensive apartment? Not only is she leaving in Knight Park but even owns the penthouse. Do you know how much an apartment would cost in Knight Park what more the Penthouse!"

"Yuexi calm down. Li Zi has always been a mystery, anyway. We don't know, maybe she is indeed an heiress of an elite family, but wish to hide her identity." 

"I know, Leo mentioned that she might be the Young Princess. But of course, it's only speculation of the people since she was involved with the Young Princess's accident."

"I heard about that, but after the incident, they said the Young Princess returned to England with her father since they are worried for her safety. So it's impossible for Li Zi to be the Young Princess." 

"I know that, but why do people keep comparing her to Lady Zhao?"

"Well, she does look like her if you ask me."

Yuexi An was going crazy. Her plan to humiliate the girl failed and not only that the girl seems to have grasped everyone in her hands making her look like the evil witch. 

'That b*tch just she waits. I'll bring her down soon...'
