Chapter 90 - Wu Xiuqin

She looked deeply at that picture. Indeed, it was when Li Zhiqiang had brought her to that terrace, she had recalled a few things. Similarly, when she was brought to Uncle Wei's place, she recalled again. Memories were coming back slowly when she was brought in contact with places or people in the blackout span. But still, everything was separated. It seemed... It was all waiting or a line to connect everything.

And this woman might be that line.

"Do you know anything else about this woman?"

Heng Bingwen sighed when Jing Lihua failed to recognize her. "She used to be a piano prodigy. There were countless awards she had won to her name. Her fame extended to the international level. In December, six years ago, she had visited Beijing to attend a show. I couldn't know much but she has something to do with your arrival in Hong Kong. If the President could recognize her, it would have been a great help." Heng Bingwen looked at Jing Lihua with expectant eyes.

"But I have never seen her in the media... If she is as famous as you say, I would have seen her somewhere." Jing Lihua showed no signs of recognizing her. Even if she sensed a small familiarity, she kept her face expressions inconceivable. It was not intentional. It had become a habit from the experiences of her previous life.

"Because as of today, she is no longer on mainstream media. Exactly six years ago, she suddenly stopped playing and appearing in competitions. It was said that she had suffered from some injury that resulted in her inability to play the piano. As playing was her passion, she succumbed to depression and tried to kill herself countless times."

Jing Lihua listened to that all with a pensive expression. Piano... The word had something to do with all. "Does she have anything to do with the Li family?"

"Yes, President. Her Wu family always had a close relationship with the prestigious Li family of Hong Kong. In fact, there are rumors that in the future, she might become the daughter in law of Li household."

When Jing Liha heard that, she became tense. Her facial expressions, like always didn't reveal anything. But lips stretched into a thin line. "Don't mind that. Those people in the media say all sorts of nonsense." Heng Bingwen failed to notice the subtle change in President's tune.

"Yes, President? I wouldn't be fool enough to believe in baseless media rumors. In fact, in the past, President Li had favored the Wu family greatly. During the period she has fallen ill after her injury, he had visited her countless times. His each and every visit had been exaggerated by media. Especially after the mental breakdown she had suffered after losing her ability to play the piano, he had been by her side. He had helped her cope with her depression. They say President Li favors the 'Wu' family because of her. Because he cherishes..." Heng Bingwen shuddered when he saw Jing Lihua look. Though her expressions were still cold, there was an eerie air around her. "P-President...?" Heng Bingwen gulped.

"Continue." His President's voice sounded so unnatural and ghostly.

"T-There is nothing more to continue. I told you everything about her relationship with President Li."

"What is her name?" Jing Lihua's eyes looked like a tigress who had focused on his next prey.

"Coughs... Coughs... Wu Xiuqin. The eldest daughter of the Wu family. Wu Xiuqin."

Wu Xiuqin...

When Jing Lihua heard the name, an influx of memories rushed to her brain. "Wu Xiuqin..." She mumbled. Her lips curled up into a cold smile. Then she laughed.

"P-President?" Heng Bingwen was so scared. His President looked so murderous. Ah... what did he say wrong? "Do you remember anything?" He mustered up his courage and asked.

"It won't be appropriate to say I remembered anything. Because I remembered it all."

Heng Bingwen's eyes widened in shock. "President, do you..."

"Thank you Heng Bingwen for your hard work." Jing Lihua rose. "I'll provide you with a bonus for making you work overtime."

"There is no need President... If you could just tell me if everything is alright?" Heng Bingwen looked concerned. "I mean you said you remembered everything. And recovering a huge amount of memories might take a troll on your mind so..." Heng Bingwen said no more but Jing Lihua understood his kind intentions.

Jing Lihua smiled warmly at him. When did this small boy start caring for her? Jing Lihua has shared a strong relationship with him in her last life. He had accepted her as his older sister. Bt in her last life, she had to abandon him and his mother in fear that Su Liwei might hurt them to get back at her.

She had expected that it would take much effort to win him again in this life because of her different status here. After all, being abandoned by his family, Heng Bingwen hated rich aristocrats.

"It's alright. You don't need to concern about that." Jing Lihua moved towards the door. Before leaving, she turned back and said. "If your uncle ever troubles you, then feel free to contact me. You have done me a lot. I owe you. I won't hesitate to lend you a hand to deal with those hateful people."

Jing Lihua strode out, shutting the door while Heng Bingwen stayed frozen at his seat. To have expected something like that from someone cold as her... was unexpected.

Jing Lihua shook her head as she walked to her car. "That stupid kid. Why would he not ask for my help? Did he think I would decline? Or was he too shy to ask?" According to the timeline in her past life, about this time Heng Bingwen Uncle Heng HuiZhong has started creating trouble for Heng Bingwen. Jing Lihua suspected that it was the reason Heng Bingwen had came to Hong Kong. "His maternal family lives here. He must have come here to ask for their help."

Jing Lihua had just walked to the ar when she observed that Wang Yi was not resent. "Where has he gone to?" With a frown, she turned around. But just then she felt a cold metallic thing being pressed behind her ear.

"Don't move."

Her eyes went dark.
