nGu Ziming walked in and handed the basket to Ling Jue. He looked a little embarrassed. “This is for you.”

n
nLing jue raised her eyebrows slightly. She looked up and saw more than a dozen steamed dumplings inside. There was also a polished thermos bottle.
n
n
nLing Jue reached out to take it. Her eyes darkened.
n“My mother heard that I was coming to visit a friend, so she gave these to me. She said that she wanted me to give them to you.”
n2
n
n“Thank you.”
n2
n
nShe picked up a steamed dumpling. The shape was familiar to her.
n
n
n“Lord Jue! This steamed dumpling tastes like the first elder’s cooking! Doesn’t it?! Doesn’t it?! Tang Yuan loves the first elder’s steamed dumpling the most!”
n2
n
n“…”
nLing Jue ate one. The taste was a little off, but it was delicious.
n“Thank her for me.” Ling Jue had never thought about the problems of her previous life. After all, it was in the past.
n
n
n2
n
nNow that she saw the steamed dumpling, something buzzed in her mind.
n2
n
n“Jue’er, you will be the hope of Miaojiang in the future.”
n2
n
n“Jue’er, only you have a complete Emperor Gu. You are the chief of Miaojiang.”
n2
n
n“Jue’er, run! I believe in you! You will definitely live!”
n2
n
n“…”
nThe great elder was her father, the only person in Miaojiang who knew her true gender.
n
n
nHer mother passed away after she was born. Her father raised her.
nLing Jue ate the steamed dumplings with a faint smile on her face. She was indeed alive. The only person who survived was living in an unfamiliar world.
n“Well, Lord Jue…” Gu Ziming swallowed his saliva when he saw her in a daze. The boy was quite handsome under the light, but he did not dare to have any other thoughts. Otherwise, he would definitely be dismembered by him.
n2
n
n“Hmm?” Ling Jue put down her chopsticks, wiped the corner of her lips, and looked up at him.
n2
n
n“Why did you call me here?” Gu Ziming asked boldly.
n2
n
nLing Jue stood up and walked to the bedside, handing him the money under the pillow. “15,000.”
n2
n
n“Huh?” Gu Ziming did not dare to take it. He looked at her in confusion. “Why are you giving me money?”
n2
n
n“I’m giving you your salary.”
n
n
n2
n
n“Then what do I need to do for you?”
n2
n
n“Take good care of your family. I’ll call you when I need you.”
n2
n
nLing Jue sat down again, picked up her chopsticks, and continued eating.
n“Lord Jue, I want to eat too. Waa…” Tang Yuan wailed in her mind, its little face scrunched up in grievance.
n2
n
n“I’ll let you eat when he’s gone.” Ling Jue put down her chopsticks and left a few for Tang Yuan.
n2
n
nGu Ziming, on the other hand, looked at her in shock. He swallowed his saliva and said, “Lord… Lord Jue, you’re paying me such a high salary just so that I can be on standby at all times?”
n2
n
n“Yes.” Ling Jue thought to herself. She just did not have the money. Sigh.
n2
n
nOtherwise, she could just throw a few million at him and ask him to collect the best jade in the world for her to make snacks for Tang Yuan.
nAfter she finished her exams and had a break, this matter could be carried out.
n“…” Gu Ziming did not know what to say.
n2
n
nThe 15,000 yuan was neither too much nor too little.
nEspecially to him right now, it was a huge sum of money. He had lost a business when he was caught stealing the jade pendant last time, and he did not earn any money at all.
nHis mother’s medicine was almost gone. His sister was going to be in her third year of high school next year. He needed to earn money as soon as possible.
n
n
n“You should go back. These things are very good.” She forced a stiff smile and looked at the things.
n2
n
nHer smile would only be that kind of evil smile. She really did not know how to smile properly.
n“Okay…” Gu Ziming stood up and took the basket. He poured the things in the thermos into her bowl, and the steamed dumplings onto her plate as well.
n2
n
nAfter he was done, he looked at Ling Jue and realized that she was looking at him. He felt as if he saw the most beautiful scenery in the world. Her eyes were deep and distant, and she looked like a young jade…
