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

Chapter 48 Being a mother is so hard!
Gu Qingyin sighed, raised her hand and rubbed Huo Xinghai's head, her voice gentle but firm, "You will always be my son."

Huo Xinghai's tense expression relaxed a little, and under Gu Qingyin's gaze, he opened the box with his own hands.

Inside the box was a very lifelike doll with yellow paper on its head and a red wooden wedge stuck in its heart.

This is a cursed doll.

Gu Qingyin was silent. No wonder Huo Xinghai started to retaliate so early. He must have cursed a lot of people with this doll.

Huo Xinghai's hands were shaking as he held the lid. He was panicking and at a loss. His biggest secret was exposed. How would Gu Qingyin see him?

"Whose birth date is that above?" Gu Qingyin suddenly asked.

Huo Xinghai blinked lightly, and after a while he responded, he said in a hoarse voice, "Fu Zimo."

Gu Qingyin was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized.

At first she thought that it was Feng Xia who was cursed, and that was why she collapsed so quickly after being hit by bad luck.

But if it was Fu Zimo, it would be more reasonable.

Because he was cursed, he bled and fainted after being hit on the head, and he almost lost his life. Fu Zimo's previous less than rigorous behavior in the live broadcast room was also explained.

How could he be such an arrogant fool to have been Huo Xinghai's mortal enemy for so long? It was just because of the influence of the curse.

I have to say that Huo Xinghai chose a really good time to kill someone.

"Tear it down," Gu Qingyin said, "Before anyone gets killed, there's still time to turn back."

Huo Xinghai did not dare to refute and obediently tore off the yellow paper with the birth date written on it from the doll's head. The moment the paper left the doll, it spontaneously combusted and turned into a small pile of ash in the blink of an eye.

"The doll is confiscated." Gu Qingyin reached out and took the box, then sat down next to Huo Xinghai and asked softly, "How did you know about the cursed doll? Who gave you this doll?"

Huo Xinghai carefully observed her expression and said, "It's a friend I met before."

Gu Qingyin frowned, "What friend? Didn't he tell you that using the cursed doll would backfire?"

"Backlash?" Huo Xinghai looked confused. Cursing someone would backlash? This was the first time he heard of it, but he surprisingly found it very reasonable.

"The more times you use it, the more damage the cursed person will suffer, and the heavier your karma will be. Once it accumulates to a certain level, you will start to suffer backlash." Gu Qingyin explained unhappily, "Fortunately, you didn't kill anyone, otherwise you would have died tonight!"

Huo Xinghai's face turned pale. His friend had never mentioned any backlash to him.

Gu Qingyin slapped him angrily, "Are you stupid? If there really were no side effects, how could I tell you so easily?"

Huo Xinghai pursed his lips and said nothing. At this moment, his mood was very complicated, disappointment, sadness, anger... all gathered together, and he wanted to rush to that friend and stab him!

How dare that bastard do this to him? Wasn't he afraid that he would kill him if he found out? Or was that bastard sure that he wouldn't be able to retaliate against him even if he found out?
Huo Xinghai closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, trying to stay calm, but his trembling voice still revealed his fear.

"Will I... die? Will it be a horrible death?"

Gu Qingyin took her son's hand distressedly, "Don't worry, Mom won't let you die. Although the process of fighting against the backlash of karma will be a little painful, but Mom will be with you, don't be afraid."

"Mom..." Huo Xinghai asked with a sob: "I just want more people to love me. Am I wrong?"

"The idea is right, but the approach is wrong." Gu Qingyin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Mom will accompany you to atone for your sins."

At this moment, she felt very guilty. If she had been with her children since childhood and let them grow up in a loving environment, nothing today would have happened.

The more you lack love, the more you desire it, and you will even do anything to get it.

"How do you atone for your sins?" "Give back what you got from others." Gu Qingyin pondered, "Including money, fame, health, etc. Everything that does not belong to you, not a single cent can be kept."

Huo Xinghai's eyes turned red again, "Does it include my fans?"

Gu Qingyin smiled and touched his face, "It doesn't matter if you don't have those people who come here because of bewitching. In the future, you will have fans who love you from the bottom of their hearts."

Tears rolled down Huo Xinghai's eyes, and he asked in a low voice, "Can I really do this?"

Gu Qingyin said firmly: "Of course you can." She held her son's hand tightly, as if to convey some kind of strength, "Huo Xinghai, don't care too much about other people's eyes, put aside your personality, and be yourself! You will get everything you want."

Huo Xinghai stared at Gu Qingyin in a daze and didn't speak for a long time.

Since childhood, he has been the most popular among the three brothers because he knows how to please others, to keep smiling, to be helpful, to be gentlemanly and polite, and to be good in both character and study...

It’s not that the eldest brother and the third brother don’t understand, but they disdain to please others and they always just be themselves.

Only he, in the long years of flattery, lost himself, in exchange for countless attic-like love. He has always been careful to maintain his persona and not reveal his true character.

After entering the entertainment industry, people were staring at him wherever he went.

Huo Xinghai was very tired, but he couldn't give up the things he loved. The appearance of the cursed doll gave him some room to breathe.

He is no longer cautious in maintaining his persona, and is no longer afraid of being discovered by others accidentally. He can use the cursed doll to cover up and solve many problems.

It was not until today that Huo Xinghai realized that all this came at a price.

"Are you still in touch with the friend who gave you the doll?" Gu Qingyin asked.

Huo Xinghai came back to his senses, his eyes showing fatigue. "We don't keep in touch very often. His name is Xia Zelin, he's also from the entertainment industry, a little idol who debuted through a talent show, not very popular."

Huo Xinghai used to think that Xia Zelin was sensible, never took advantage of his popularity, and was a friend he could make close friends with. But now... Haha, he was afraid that if he got too close to him, he would be implicated if something happened, right?
Gu Qingyin sent Xia Zelin's name to Liu Ergou and asked him to check him out and get all the details of his life, no matter how big or small.

Liu Ergou was leading his apprentice in the mountains. He was so angry every day that he wanted to escape all the time.

After receiving the message from Gu Qingyin, he reported to the temple master without delay, saying that he would go down the mountain to rescue his fellow Taoists in distress.

The abbot was very moved and approved his leave without saying a word.

Liu Ergou turned around and happily packed his luggage and went down the mountain overnight!

At the same time, under Gu Qingyin's supervision, Huo Xinghai recalled the people he had cursed. These people were all his creditors, and he couldn't leave any of them behind.

Gu Qingyin worked until late at night. She took a photo of the list and sent it to Huo Xingye, asking him to investigate the current situation of these people. Only after understanding the situation could he give targeted compensation.

Before leaving, Gu Qingyin reminded again, "Wear the jade carefully."

Huo Xinghai held the jade pendant and nodded vigorously.

Back in the room, Gu Qingyin sealed the cursed doll with a yawn, then fell weakly on the bed.

"Not everyone can be a spiritual mentor..."

You have to rack your brains to take care of the other person's self-esteem, guide them clearly and guide them back on the right track, and finally help with the aftermath.

Gu Qingyin buried her face in the pillow, sighed deeply, and complained in a low voice, "Being a mother is so hard!"
