"You can tell him you're a girl."
"No!" Ling Jue suddenly said sternly. Seeing her grandmother's surprised look, she softened her voice. "You can't tell him. You can't tell anyone."
"Why?" Grandma did not understand. Did Xiao Jue not want to be a girl before?
'It's hard to explain for now,' Ling Jue thought. She did not want to be a girl in this life. She just wanted to be like her previous life, without any emotional entanglements. It was good to live like this.
"You..."
Grandma let go of her hand and sighed. "Xiao Jue, if grandma is not here, I just want someone to take care of you. After all, no matter how strong you are, you are still a girl."
"No need. I can take care of myself," said Ling Jue firmly. "I don't need anyone to take care of me."
No one had been able to take care of her all this while. Her father was strict in her previous life, but her father was a two-faced man in this life. She, Ling Jue, was still living well on her own.
"I wonder who you took care of..." She thought of something and quickly left the kitchen. "I'm still boiling the water."
"..."
Ling Jue felt that she had not finished her sentence, but she was no longer curious. There were some things that she did not need to know.
Tang Yuan gulped and quickly changed the topic. It asked randomly, "Lord Jue, when are we going back to Yunhai province?"
"..." Ling Jue did not say anything. She sat on the stool and thought about something.
She was immersed in her own thoughts until her grandmother asked her to have dinner.
After dinner, her grandmother went out again. This time, she did not come back until the evening.
Ling Jue planned to cook, but she was pushed out by her grandmother as soon as she entered the kitchen.
She could only stand guard at the door with a bitter smile. She was going to have a stomachache from eating that salty dish.
The next morning, she received a call from the lawyer. He said that the subpoena had been sent down and that he was there to file a report.
Ling Jue then took a taxi back to Da Li province.
When she got off the car at Da Li Hotel, Jiang Chen was waiting for her at the door. The two of them drove to the court. It was already noon when everything was done.
"President Ling, I still have some matters to attend to. We'll discuss the matters here tomorrow. The court can start the day after tomorrow at the latest." Jiang Chen looked at his watch and realized that it was getting late, so he said goodbye to Ling Jue.
"Okay."
Ling Jue nodded. Jiang Chen drove away. She sat beside the bus stop at the entrance of the court and took out her phone to make a call to Gu Ziming.
The bamboo worm at the back of the mountain of Mingxi village had to find a way to get to Yunhai province.
"Lord Jue?"
"Do you have a small truck that I can trust? Help me bring some things back from Da Li province."
"No problem. I'll go there myself. Hehe, I have a driver's license for a truck." Gu Ziming immediately perked up when he heard that. "Now that Yunhai province is on the right track, I don't have much to do."
It was more exciting to work with Lord Jue, such as winning the lottery. Cough, cough.
"Okay, you go to Da Li province and stay at Da Li hotel. I'll contact you."
"Okay, Lord Jue!"
...
After hanging up the phone, Ling Jue's phone suddenly rang again. She thought it was Gu Ziming, but it was Feng Yulin.
"Hmm?" She answered the phone coldly.
"Get in the car on the other side of the street." The words were simple and clear.
Ling Jue raised her head and saw Feng Yulin's car parked on the other side of the street.
She hung up the phone and walked across the zebra crossing to the other side.
Feng Yulin opened the door for her, and Ling Jue sat in the car. Very well. Since he looked for her help, she was kind enough to hear him out.
