The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 19: The Bastard Who Thinks He's Affectionate
No one knew what Gu Xifeng was thinking, but he actually paid an additional sum and followed them into the villa.

Gu Qingyin thought to herself that since he was a stupid person with lots of money, she could be developed into a long-term customer.

As soon as the three of them entered the villa, the door was closed impatiently.

Gu Xifeng was startled. He turned around and stared at the door for a few seconds. Then he turned back with a tense expression. He said nothing, but subconsciously took two quick steps, almost sticking to Liu Ergou.

Gu Qingyin was bumped by him and grumbled unhappily, "You are so timid, what are you doing coming in?"

Gu Xifeng heard it, and he said dryly: "I paid."

Gu Qingyin thought so too, and dutifully rummaged through her bag, pulling out two talismans and handing them over, "Take them, and keep you safe."

Gu Xifeng clenched his hands tightly, and after he breathed a sigh of relief, he realized that his back felt a little cold - he had just been frightened and was sweating, and his clothes were all wet.

Liu Ergou carefully removed the cloth strip on his back and took out a copper coin sword without a scabbard.

Gu Xifeng glanced at it several times and felt that it looked familiar. It took him a while to remember that he seemed to have seen something similar in a zombie movie when he was a child.

Aren't all the things in the movie made up? Is there any factual basis for them?
Gu Xifeng looked at Gu Qingyin again, "What about yours?"

"What?" Gu Qingyin was confused.

"A weapon for catching ghosts and fighting ghosts?"

"Oh, I majored in spells, and I don't have any specific magic tools."

Gu Xifeng quickly matched them in his mind: Taoist Liu was a warrior, and Gu Qingyin was a mage...

Liu Ergou couldn't help but grin. Gu Qingyin certainly didn't need any magic weapons. Her fists were much more useful than magic weapons. She could directly use physical force to transcend and kill one ghost friend at a time with one punch.

Gu Xifeng was about to say something, but a whirlwind suddenly rolled up in the room, and a cold feeling instantly swept over his body. He decisively shut up and stuck close to Liu Ergou again, not forgetting to adjust the angle to ensure that Gu Qingyin was behind him.

"What's her name?" Gu Qingyin asked.

Gu Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then uttered a name with a complicated expression, "Dai Jingyan."

As soon as the voice fell, the cold wind in the house suddenly increased, and bursts of sharp whistles sounded all around, and the three people were blown so hard that they couldn't open their eyes. Therefore, they didn't see the surrounding yin energy surging and slowly retreating, revealing a scene that should not appear in the villa at all.

The wind stopped, and Gu Xifeng opened his eyes and froze. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene in front of him, his lips trembled, and he uttered a few words inaudibly, "Dai Family Compound..."

Gu Qingyin and Liu Ergou also looked around. Ghost domains were very common, but such detailed ones were rare.

The children chasing and playing in the yard, the adults chatting under the trees in the cool breeze, the smell of food coming from the building...everything seems so real.

This should be one of the most important memories in Dai Jingyan's life.

Neither of them acted rashly. The more they knew about their past lives, the easier it would be to find the source of their resentment, and the easier it would be to eliminate it when the time came.

"what!"

A short scream attracted the attention of the three people. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl of four or five years old sitting on the ground, with a boy who was slightly older than her standing opposite her.

Gu Xifeng was stunned.

Gu Qingyin and Liu Ergou saw that the boy was Gu Xifeng when he was a child. How should I put it? They grew up in perfect proportion, not crooked at all.

The little girl who fell to the ground is most likely Dai Jingyan, the owner of the ghost realm.

"I'm sorry..." The little girl got up by herself and apologized timidly with a red face.

Little Gu Xifeng lowered his eyes to look at her, snorted coldly and left.

Gu Qingyin: ...rude kid!

The next second, the scene changed. Little Gu Xifeng and little Dai Jingyan had grown up a little, and their relationship seemed to have eased a little?
The two walked out of the courtyard with their schoolbags on their backs. Little Gu Xifeng had a stern face, while little Jingyan had a bright smile on her face. She turned around and waved to her parents standing at the door, shouting excitedly, "Brother Gu agreed to go to school with me!"

Hearing this, the little Gu Xifeng who was walking in front of him curled his lips slightly and looked happy. After that, in junior high school and high school, the relationship between the two became better and better. Until before graduating from high school, Gu Xifeng was taken away by several people in suits.

At this point, the childhood sweethearts were forced to separate.

On the day Gu Xifeng left, Dai Jingyan stood at the place where they first met, looked up at the moonlight, and murmured to herself, "See you in college..."

However, things went against her wishes. When Dai Jingyan arrived at the university, she found out that Gu Xifeng had not even shown up to register.

When they met again by chance two years later, Gu Xifeng already had a fiancée.

Dai Jingyan looked indifferent, but she cried until her pillow was wet at night. She wanted to find Gu Xifeng to ask for clarification, but she had no right to do so because they had never been together.

Even though they knew in their hearts that they had loved each other.

Dai Jingyan decided to forget Gu Xifeng, focusing on her studies every day, working part-time, expanding her social circle... and didn't want to stop for even a minute.

The effect was remarkable, and she thought of Gu Xifeng less and less.

It was not until the second half of her senior year that she agreed to the pursuit of a junior.

But before she could enjoy her relationship, on the second day of their relationship, she fainted on the road and was taken away.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw this villa.

What followed was three years of imprisonment.

Dai Jingyan cried, begged, and even attempted suicide... but it was all in vain. Gu Xifeng would never let her go.

"Jingyan, I love you. Please wait for me. When I am stable, I will divorce her and marry you."

Gu Xifeng always appears affectionate and sad.

Later, Dai Jingyan calmed down and stopped crying or making a fuss.

When Gu Xifeng came, she was like a wife waiting for her husband to come home, taking care of him in every detail.

When Gu Xifeng didn't come, she would sit in one place and look out the window, and before she knew it the whole day would pass.

That period was the sweetest time for the two of them.

Gu Xifeng therefore relaxed his vigilance, and Dai Jingyan finally found an opportunity to commit suicide by taking medicine.

Dai Jingyan was seeking liberation, but before she could be reincarnated, she was captured by the Taoist priest hired by Gu Xifeng and imprisoned again.

Dai Jingyan was going crazy and she couldn't help but start to feel resentful.

She blamed the childhood encounter, the first love in her youth, her own inability to let go, and what she blamed most was Gu Xifeng's self-proclaimed deep affection.

Dai Jingyan had actually figured it out a long time ago.

Gu Xifeng did not love her that much. What he loved was the self who could not get what he wanted when he was young, the self who felt humiliated when he was forced into marriage, and the self who became more ambitious after experiencing wealth and glory.

To put it bluntly, Dai Jingyan is just a tool, a tool for Gu Xifeng to resist and remind himself.

Finally, there is a scene where Dai Jingyan’s eyes are bloodshot and she is completely consumed by resentment.

The villa returned to normal, and Dai Jingyan's figure slowly appeared, staring at Gu Xifeng with a pair of emotionless red eyes.

At this time, Gu Xifeng was already in tears.

Looking back now, I realized what a jerk I was.
