Gu Ziming's body stiffened.
"Hello, this is your wonton stew." The shopkeeper brought four bowls of wonton stew over and placed them on the table.
Ling Jue put one bowl in front of her and started eating after smelling the fragrance.
"..." Gu Ziming sighed. This person had too many secrets.
He 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?"
"Yes." Ling Jue nodded.
"There's only one school nearby. Are you in high school in Molk?" He stopped and looked at him in shock.
"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.
Gu 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."
Gu Ziming was furious. Was this boss really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?!
He took a deep breath and suppressed the frustration in his heart. He buried his head into the wonton stew.
However, 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."
"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.
He 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...
If 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.
...
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."
"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.
"Your ID card." Ling Zhensheng handed the ID card to her and sat on the sofa drinking water.
Ling 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."
"Okay." Ling Jue nodded. She had said this many times. This person's reputation was more important than his life.
