The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 19

Ch 19: A Bastard Who Thinks He’s Deeply in Love

Gu Xifeng didn’t know what he was thinking, but he actually paid another sum and followed them into the villa.

Gu Qingyin thought to herself, “Dumb money, can be developed into a long-term customer.”

The three had just entered the villa when the villa door couldn’t wait to close.

Gu Xifeng was startled, looked back at the door for a few seconds, and then turned back with a tense expression. He didn’t say anything, but subconsciously took two quick steps, almost sticking to Liu Ergou’s body.

Gu Qingyin was bumped by him and muttered unhappily, “With such little courage, what did you come in here for?”

Gu Xifeng heard her and said dryly, “I paid the money.”

Gu Qingyin thought that was true. She dutifully rummaged through her satchel, took out two talismans, and handed them over, “Take these, for safety.”

Gu Xifeng clenched one in each hand. After a sigh of relief, he realized that his back was a little cold—he had been scared into a sweat, and his clothes were wet.

Liu Ergou cautiously took off the cloth strip from his back and took out a copper coin sword without a scabbard.

Gu Xifeng glanced at it several times, feeling that it looked a little familiar. After a while, he remembered that he seemed to have seen something similar in zombie movies when he was a child.

Aren’t the things in movies all fictional? Could there be a factual basis?

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 mainly practice incantations, I don’t have a specific magical artifact.”

Gu Xifeng quickly matched it in his mind. Taoist Priest Liu is a warrior, and Gu Qingyin is a mage…

Liu Ergou couldn’t help but grin. Gu Qingyin certainly didn’t need a magical artifact. Her fists were much more useful than magical artifacts. Direct physical salvation, one ghost friend with one punch.

Gu Xifeng was about to say something, but a whirlwind suddenly rose in the room, and a cold feeling instantly swept through his body. He decisively shut his mouth. While sticking close to Liu Ergou again, he didn’t forget to adjust his 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 he finished speaking, not only did the Yin wind in the room suddenly increase, but also bursts of sharp howls sounded around them. The three 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 shouldn’t have appeared in the villa at all.

When the wind stopped, Gu Xifeng was stunned when he opened his eyes. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene in front of him, his lips trembled, and he uttered a few words almost inaudibly, “Dai Family Courtyard…”

Gu Qingyin and Liu Ergou also looked around. Ghost Domains are common, but such detailed ones are rare.

The children chasing and playing in the courtyard, the adults chatting and relaxing under the trees, the aroma of food coming from the building… everything was incredibly 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 her life, the easier it would be to find the source of her resentment, and the easier it would be to eliminate it.

“Ah!”

A short scream rang out, attracting the attention of the three. Looking in the direction of the sound, a four━ or five-year-old girl was sitting on the ground, with a slightly older boy standing opposite her.

Gu Xifeng was stunned.

Gu Qingyin and Liu Ergou could tell that the boy was Gu Xifeng when he was a child. How should they put it, he had simply grown up in proportion, not growing crooked at all.

The little girl who fell on the ground was probably Dai Jingyan, the master of the Ghost Domain.

“I’m sorry…” The little girl climbed up by herself, blushing and timidly apologizing.

Little Gu Xifeng glanced at her, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Gu Qingyin: …Rude brat!

The next second, the scene changed. Little Gu Xifeng and Little Dai Jingyan had grown up a bit, and their relationship seemed to have improved a little?

One big and one small were walking out of the courtyard with their schoolbags on their backs. Little Gu Xifeng had a straight face, while Little Jingyan had a bright smile on her face. She also turned her head and waved to her parents standing at the door, shouting cheerfully, “Gu-gege promised to go to school with me!”

Hearing this, the little Gu Xifeng, who was walking in front, slightly hooked his lips, looking happy as well.

After that, in junior high and high school, the feelings between the two became better and better. Until before graduating from high school, Gu Xifeng was taken away by several people in suits and leather shoes.

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

On the day Gu Xifeng left, Dai Jingyan stood where they first met, looking up at the moonlight, murmuring to herself, “We’ll meet in college…”

However, things didn’t go as planned. When Dai Jingyan arrived at the university, she discovered that Gu Xifeng hadn’t even registered.

Two years later, when they met again by chance, Gu Xifeng already had a fiancée.

Dai Jingyan didn’t care on the surface, but she cried into her pillow at night. She wanted to find Gu Xifeng and ask him clearly, but she had no position. They had never been together.

Even though they both knew very well that they had once loved each other.

Dai Jingyan decided to forget Gu Xifeng, focusing on her studies, working part-time, expanding her social circle… not wanting to stop for even a minute.

The effect was significant. She thought of Gu Xifeng less and less.

Until the second half of her senior year, she accepted a junior’s pursuit.

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

When she opened her eyes again, she was in this villa.

After that, there was three years of imprisonment.

Dai Jingyan had cried, made a fuss, begged, and attempted suicide… but it was all useless. Gu Xifeng would never let her leave.

“Jingyan, I love you. Please wait for me a little longer. When I’m stable, I will definitely divorce her, I will marry you.”

Gu Xifeng always acted affectionate and sad.

Later, Dai Jingyan calmed down. She didn’t cry or make a fuss.

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

When Gu Xifeng didn’t come, she would sit in one place and look out the window, sometimes for an entire day without realizing it.

That period of time was the sweetest days 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 aiming for liberation, but before she could be reincarnated, she was caught back by the Taoist Master that Gu Xifeng had found, and imprisoned again.

Dai Jingyan was going crazy. She couldn’t help but start to resent.

Resent the encounter in childhood, resent the budding love in youth, resent her inability to let go, and most of all, resent Gu Xifeng’s self-proclaimed deep love.

Dai Jingyan had actually figured it out long ago.

Gu Xifeng didn’t love her that much. What he loved was the self he couldn’t get when he was young, the self who felt humiliated when forced into a marriage, and the self whose ambition gradually grew after tasting wealth and power.

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

Finally, there was the scene of Dai Jingyan’s eyes turning scarlet, completely swallowed by resentment.

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

At this time, Gu Xifeng was already in tears.

Only after reviewing it did he realize how much of a bastard he was.
