That evening, when Gu Qian returned to the villa, she was worried about how to explain the five-finger mark on her face. Fortunately, Aunt Zhou told her that Mo Beichen had a social engagement that night and would be back later.
After dinner, she hid in the guest room.
Aunt Zhou noticed the finger marks on her face and was still a bit uneasy. She wrapped some ice in a towel and brought it to her room. "Ma'am, how did you get this injury on your face?"
Gu Qian held the iced towel against her face, not wanting Aunt Zhou to worry. She said, "Aunt Zhou, please don't call me ma'am, call me Buhui instead. Otherwise, if someone hears it, I'll feel awkward here."
Aunt Zhou didn't know that she was actually Gu Qian; it was Mo Beichen's instruction for them to call her that. Gu Qian also didn't want more people to know her identity. The more people who knew, the greater the chance Madam Mo would find out.
Once Madam Mo knew she was Gu Qian, she wouldn't be able to stay here anymore.
