"My parents and family?" Gu Nianzhi shook her head helplessly. "Didn't you see my information? I'm an orphan. Both my parents died when I was a little girl."
"Are your parents really gone?" He Zhichu walked a step closer to Gu Nianzhi. " Where are they buried? Have you ever visited their graves?"
The resentment Gu Nianzhi had felt towards He Zhichu dissipated as she looked at him with shock. Aside from Huo Shaoheng, He Zhichu was the first person to ask after her parents and even mention visiting them. This was a form of respect and as her parents' daughter it was difficult for her to resent someone respecting her parents.
Gu Nianzhi looked at He Zhichu, taking a long time to decide between lying or keeping quiet. She finally shook her head and said honestly, "No, I don't know where they are buried."
