Chapter 2013: Jin Huaqing Is Alive
Gu Zhiqi held her hand, soothing her, as she continued, "I have indeed seen her; she is not dead, she’s in Nine Stars City."
Jin Huazhu’s expression was still somewhat dazed, "Re... really? But, Qingqing, she..."
"Yes, back then, Qingqing’s body suddenly disappeared, and we couldn’t find it."
"So she’s not dead, she’s still alive."
"How did you see her? Is she well?"
Jin Huazhu asked, her eyes reddened as she looked at Gu Zhiqi.
"She... was well three years ago; I haven’t seen her in three years."
Jin Huazhu tightly held Gu Zhiqi’s hand and said, "Please, tell me in detail."
Gu Zhiqi listened and then recounted the story in brief.
The first time she met Jin Huaqing was six years ago.
Eighteen years ago, she was admitted to Nine Stars Academy, spending most of her time there.
Until six years ago, she left the academy with Tang Shuan and happened to encounter Jin Huaqing on the streets of Nine Stars City.
For some reason, Jin Huaqing recognized her at a glance, and afterward, she met her biological father and elder brother in Nine Stars City.
Previously, her memory was sealed, and she couldn’t remember anything about Nine Stars City.
So, when Jin Huazhu acknowledged her, she didn’t suspect it.
Not until yesterday, when her memory returned, did she recall things about Nine Stars City.
Although she was puzzled about Jin Huazhu and the others concealing her past, she could see that Jin Huazhu truly treated her like a daughter, without the slightest malice.
Before, in Nine Stars City, she had heard her biological father mention by chance that the reason she was left wandering was that Jin Huaqing had left Nine Stars City eighteen years ago.
In the past, when her father hadn’t seen Jin Huaqing return for a long time, he sent people to look for her.
By the time he found Jin Huaqing, almost a year had passed, and she was in the hands of the Tongtian Sect.
According to the Tongtian Sect’s records, Jin Huaqing had been an experimental subject for two months.
When they rescued her, Jin Huaqing had lost her memory.
She couldn’t remember anything from before.
If it weren’t for the fact that she was checked by a doctor after giving birth due to body exhaustion, her father wouldn’t have known that Jin Huazhu had given birth.
After all, when Jin Huazhu left Nine Stars City, he didn’t know she was pregnant.
After learning that Jin Huazhu had given birth, her father sent people to search, but they didn’t find anything.
For a time, they even thought the child had died in the hands of the Tongtian Sect.
Moreover, her father also told her that Jin Huaqing was not originally from Nine Stars City.
Connecting the names Jin Huazhu and Jin Huaqing, along with their strong resemblance, Gu Zhiqi made a rough guess about their relationship.
Jin Huaqing should be a member of the Jin Family.
Today, she came to Jin Huazhu to verify Jin Huaqing’s identity.
Unexpectedly, according to Jin Huazhu, Jin Huaqing was already considered dead.
After listening to Gu Zhiqi’s story, Jin Huazhu wept silently for a long time before recounting the events of the past to Gu Zhiqi.
Back then, Jin Huaqing was seriously injured, her body weak, and after giving birth, she was utterly overwhelmed.
Jin Huaqing also realized her condition, so she entrusted the child to Jin Huazhu.
Moreover, Jin Huazhu personally witnessed Jin Huaqing’s death.
So later, when Jin Huaqing’s body disappeared, Jin Huazhu didn’t suspect that she was still alive.
After hearing Jin Huazhu’s account, Gu Zhiqi also developed many doubts.
According to Jin Huazhu, Jin Huaqing was dead, so how did she later come back to life?
No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t figure it out.
In the end, when leaving the Fu Family, Gu Zhiqi still harbored doubts in her heart.
