“The dormitory would be filled with guys, how are you going to live there?” He Honghua asked with concern. “Why did you suddenly wish to stay in school? You have been staying at home all this while.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t be found out. Since we sleep in bunk beds, I’ll ask for a top bunk.” Bo Jiu hugged onto He Honghua’s soft and tender shoulders. “I’m in my second year, staying in school would give me more time to study. Besides, it’s a critical time over at your business. If I’m not at home, it’ll save you the trouble of coming back to cook me my meals.”

“Your face has lost so much weight from the competition. Rest days aren’t common so you definitely have to be back for some home cooked meals.” He Honghua was firm on this front.

Bo Jiu chuckled. “I’ll be back during the holidays, once every week.”

In reality, she would still be back. It would be more convenient for her to investigate and conceal her identity if she stayed in school, but over at the Fu house, she had created a temporary disguise room which allowed her to do many things.

She couldn’t let He Honghua know of that though.

She hadn’t placed the main terminal for the network in the Fu house because she was afraid any leaks would trace back to He Honghua.

She wasn’t clear of the new staff in the crime squad and her imposter hadn’t been caught yet.

She couldn’t let He Honghua take the risk.

In the past, she didn’t have to think of anyone else since she was alone.

But now, she had people she wanted to protect, both Supreme Alliance and the mother who was standing in front of her.

The more He Honghua saw her own Jiu, the more handsome she found her. She hadn’t realized in the past, but right now, she seemed to have a plan for every decision she made. He Honghua felt reassured and slightly melancholic. “Since you don’t have much to do for the next two days, will you be at home? Mom has a gathering tomorrow and would like to bring you along.”

“Tomorrow…” Bo Jiu was just about to hesitate when He Honghua immediately replied, “Do you have something planned out? It’s alright if you are busy.”

“I do have something tomorrow, but what time is the gathering? I’ll try to settle it fast so that I can head over.” Bo Jiu had always been indulgent towards He Honghua.

More importantly, it was useful against the middle-aged He Honghua. “Tomorrow night, it’s organized by a friend and a variety of industries in the Jiang City will be there. Now that I have just obtained a portion of the Fu family’s business, it wouldn’t be appropriate to skip the event. You know more of such things and mom doesn’t, so your presence would place me at ease.”

“Alright.” Bo Jiu raised her arm to look at the time. “Where will it be held? I should be done by seven, I’ll be able to go in with you for some free food and drinks.”

No one would dislike a child like Bo Jiu by her side. He Honghua’s round face beamed with joy. “You will definitely like the place, haven’t you always wanted mom to bring you to such upper class gatherings? You finally get the chance now.”

Bo Jiu acknowledged with a “Mmh”. She didn’t deny things of the past since the more discrepancies there were, the higher were the chances of her identity being exposed.

Some things were best left in the dark.

If she joined the gathering… It seemed like she would have to bring a suit along.

Since she would be taking action with the Almighty, she would have to pay attention to certain places to prevent too many loopholes from being exposed.

Hence, on the second day, Bo Jiu woke up early. When she met with Director Huang and Manager Li and held onto the cleaner uniform, she hadn’t shown how well-versed she was with the location.

Instead, she pretended to be clueless as a rookie should be, taking about half an hour before coming out of the changing room.

Qin Mo was already waiting on the sofa. Even though he was dressed in a cleaner uniform, the dignified air around him hadn’t lessened. Instead, he seemed more alluring against the blue and white uniform.

Bo Jiu raised a brow, her lips into a smile as she whistled. “Handsome.”

Qin Mo glanced up to look over at the youngster. Her head of silver hair was ruffled and in a mess, looking very much like Princess after he had taken his bath and prancing about with his blown up hair trying to attract his master’s attention.

“Come over.”

Qin Mo spoke faintly and when Bo Jiu reached, he stood up and placed his fingers onto the youngster’s head, sieving through the knots and arranging it back into place. The side of his face was just like his physique, carrying a hint of elegance. “Don’t you even know how to comb your hair at this age?”

Manager Li and Director Huang stood at the side. The latter had already gotten used to it since he was forced to see them flaunt their love every time they came into the station.

But the former felt uncomfortable and wasn’t sure if he should even be looking.

Young Master Qin was so bold about his sexuality.

Bo Jiu glanced up. She didn’t think much of it since he was just combing her hair for her.

Qin Mo didn’t think much of it either. Wasn’t it expected when taking care of someone?

After all, they had always been close.

When the Almighty lowered his lids, Bo Jiu could clearly see the dark feather-like lashes flutter and had the urge to reach out and caress them.

Qin Mo lowered his lids because he was helping a certain someone arrange her clothes.

Bo Jiu was unlike Qin Mo and it was obvious from the way they wore their clothes.

The youngster was forever carefree and cool.

In contrast, Qin Mo would always be upright with clothes which were proper and in place.

The contrast would occasionally place thoughts into Bo Jiu’s mind.

She wasn’t sure if she was going to do something she would regret when she left.

Bo Jiu shifted her collar.

“Too tight?” Qin Mo asked.

“Mmh,” she answered.

Qin Mo reached out and made some minor adjustments.

Manager Li stood at the side, coughing lightly. “Young Master Qin, Young Master Jiu, it’s seven right now. Do you wish to take your breakfast before heading over?”

“That’s alright, we will be eating with our new colleagues in a while.” Bo Jiu chuckled, looking as though she had something up her sleeve. “It’ll be easier to access information across the meal table.”

Manager Li: … He never expected Young Master Qin to like such a type.

“Besides, Manager Li you don’t have to follow us, get a regular staff from the Human Resources Department and don’t expose our identity. The more clueless the person is, the more natural their act would be.” Bo Jiu sat on the chair, bending down as she tightened her shoe laces. When she glanced back up, she had become a refreshing and energized cleaner.

Both Qin Mo and Bo Jiu had made adjustments to their appearance, which was mainly to reduce their own attractiveness and allure.

Qin Mo was way too handsome and, hence, it proved to be a challenge.

The both of them started with their hairstyles.

They used a hairspray which was a mixture of green and blue, dying their fringe and giving off a ruffian vibe.

This made them seem more like troubled teens who had run away from home.

But because of their attractive faces, they didn’t manage to look that bad.

More importantly, it managed to change their aura, especially Qin Mo’s air which made him more approachable than before.

The welfare in Jiang group wasn’t bad, hence, their accommodations wouldn’t be that bad either.

But this was Jiang City after all and land was precious, hence, it wouldn’t be that great either.

Not much sun rays entered the rooms and many of the staff came from foreign lands. They were brought to an old building which hadn’t been demolished Various styles of clothing hung across the railings and beams, the smell not particularly pleasant.

A mouldy stench enveloped the entire building from the first to the second floor.

Bo Jiu wasn’t bothered by the surroundings.
