Gu Ziming's body stiffened.
2"Hello, this is your wonton stew." The shopkeeper brought four bowls of wonton stew over and placed them on the table.
2Ling Jue put one bowl in front of her and started eating after smelling the fragrance.
2"..." Gu Ziming sighed. This person had too many secrets.
2He picked up a bowl of wonton stew and started eating as well. He looked up and asked unintentionally, "Lord Jue, do you live near here?"
2"Yes." Ling Jue nodded.
2"There's only one school nearby. Are you in high school in Molk?" He stopped and looked at him in shock.
2"Yes, I haven't gone to school yet. There's still a month before school starts." Ling Jue chewed on the wonton stew. The crust was thin and the filling was big. Not bad, not bad. She would eat wonton stew here from now on.
2Gu Ziming put down his chopsticks and stared at Ling Jue as if he was studying something.
Ling Jue felt his gaze on her and pushed the other two bowls in front of him. "I'm not going to fight with you. I'll treat you to some. If you need more bowls, order a few more."
2Gu Ziming was furious. Was this boss really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?!
2He took a deep breath and suppressed the frustration in his heart. He buried his head into the wonton stew.
2However, he did not see the cunning flash in Ling Jue's eyes.
Ling Jue was almost done with the wonton stew in her bowl. She stood up and said, "I'm leaving. You should continue eating. Go back earlier."
2"Okay." Gu Ziming nodded. Looking at his back, he continued to bury his head into the wonton stew, but his mind was not on the food.
2He was known as the know-it-all in Yunhai province. He knew the secrets of many rich families and many powerful people.
However, he could not see through the person in front of him at all. For example, he knew everything about him the first time they met.
He was not like this when he gave the jade pendant to him to frame him.
He really could not understand this young man.
He was forced to follow him for a while, but now...
2If he ran away with the money, there was nothing he could do. After all, he was alone.
"Sigh." Gu Ziming sighed and continued eating the wonton stew. He wondered if the boss would bring him more trouble in the future.
2...
The next day.
Ling Jue went out for a morning jog. There was a small park nearby, and the air was quite fresh.
However, the cars parked on the main road here had red license plates, and there were also army-green military vehicles. There were a few police officers patrolling occasionally, so this place was indeed very safe.
Ling Jue bought a few steamed buns from the roadside and went home. As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she saw Ling Zhensheng standing at the door smoking.
"You went out?" Ling Zhensheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ling Jue dressed in sportswear and looking energetic. "I woke up early. It's better to exercise a little."
2"What's the matter?" Ling Jue took out the key to open the door. Ling Zhensheng did not have the key to her house, which satisfied her greatly.
2"Your ID card." Ling Zhensheng handed the ID card to her and sat on the sofa drinking water.
2Ling Jue accepted the ID card. The photo on it was exactly the same as her face.
However, this was taken by Ling Jue in the past. Her face was quite round, but the hairstyle could only be described with one word -- terrible.
She could not help but rub her forehead. The ID card would have to stay with her for a while.
Ling Zhensheng looked at him for a moment, then put the cigarette butt into the ashtray. He stood up and said, "I'll pick you up on the weekend. Just wait for me at home. Change into a decent set of clothes. After all, we're going to attend a banquet of the upper class."
2"Okay." Ling Jue nodded. She had said this many times. This person's reputation was more important than his life.

Sunday morning.
The weather was good. There was some morning dew on the window, and the sun had disappeared without a trace.
Ling Jue opened her eyes. What she saw was not the sky outside, but Tang Yuan squatting on her pillow, looking at her with its big eyes.
"Lord Jue, you're finally awake?" Tang Yuan looked at her with resentment. "I'm hungry."
2"..." Ling Jue glanced at it indifferently, then lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
2Tang Yuan pouted and jumped onto her shoulder.
She walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth. It followed her and looked at her in the mirror. "Lord Jue, I want to brush my teeth too."
2"..."
Ling Jue finished brushing her teeth and washing her face. It jumped into the tap to wash its face as well.
"Tang Yuan." Ling Jue took it out and said helplessly, "What are you doing this time?"
2She felt like an old father who had to take care of Tang Yuan, the troubled child.
"Hehe." Tang Yuan shook its fur and looked at her expectantly with its big round eyes. "Lord Jue, can I go to the banquet with you?"
2It did not say anything yesterday, but now it remembered that there was still something fun to do.
There must be a lot of delicious food at the banquet. Wahaha!
2Ling Jue raised an eyebrow. She did not say that she would not bring it, but...
2She walked out of the bathroom with a cold face. "What are you going to do?"
2Tang Yuan panicked. "I'm going to protect you!"
2"You're going to eat delicious food, right?"
2"Lord Jue, you're making me so sad. Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Tang Yuan pouted and squatted on her shoulder. "If you let me go, I can help you bully the people who bully you."
2"I can do it myself. No peeking." Ling Jue threw it into the cabinet and took out a set of clothes to change into.
2Tang Yuan only came out obediently after she changed. It had to listen to Lord Jue today so that it could have meat to eat.
2"Lord Jue, I'm very obedient, aren't I?" If Tang Yuan had a tail, it would have wagged it already.
2Ling Jue raised an eyebrow. Just as she was about to say something, she heard someone knocking on the door.
She looked at her clothes and realized that she was almost done changing.
She opened the door and saw Ling Zhensheng's assistant standing at the door. He was the one who used to send her to the exam.
He saw Ling Jue open the door and looked at him with a smile. "Xiao Jue, your dad asked me to pick you up. Let's go have breakfast first and then go get styled."
2"Styled?" Ling Jue frowned. "I think I'm good right now."
2Why did she have to get styled for someone else's birthday? It was not a blind date, hehe.
2"Xiao Jue..." The assistant was a little helpless. "You might not know this, but the president might be coming to the banquet this time, so..."
2Ling Jue thought of something but did not ask.
"Alright." Ling Jue had her own thoughts. She turned around and went into the house, taking her things and leaving.
2The assistant let out a sigh of relief. Why was Xiao Jue becoming more and more difficult to deal with? He was not like this in the past.
2Tang Yuan tried to reduce its presence as much as possible and pretended that it was not there. It did not want Lord Jue to leave it at home. Hehe.
However, it did not know that Ling Jue saw every move it made. She curled her lips and looked at the silly Tang Yuan.
The two of them went to have breakfast first before the assistant brought her to do her styling.
It was a place with a system. The people inside helped to design the hair and clothes.
Perhaps it was because Ling Zhensheng had warned her, the people inside came up to her right after she entered. They did not ask for her opinion and directly helped her with her hair.
Her hair, which was originally clean and straight, was turned into small curls in a moment. There was even a single hair on the top of her head.
"..." Ling Jue looked at herself in the mirror. This was the standard look of a middle school student. She was more like a high school student.
2"Hello, please go upstairs and change." A few people welcomed her to the second floor.
