Chapter 972: Chapter 976: My Spiritual Eyes Boyfriend (16)
"With the bond of bloodlines, creating artificial feng shui, deceiving the heavens, changing fates and luck..."
"Reversing the Life Chart, using people as vessels, changing the world and skies, obtaining a rebirth."
Su Li murmured in a low voice, uttering mysterious and ominous words that seemed like a casual sigh, yet Gu Ling knew that what was being referred to in those words corresponded to the fate of her and her mother.
The resentment in her heart rushed like a storm and heavy rain, shattering her already broken heart into pieces.
Since she came to understand things, she knew that her and her mother’s existence was superfluous.
In name, her father looked at them with disgust and disdain, just like untreated trash on the ground, even a glance felt dirty to the eyes.
Yet despite this, she still believed that there was still a warmth of humanity in him.
After all, whatever the reason, he did raise her, didn’t he?
But now...
Change fate and luck, reverse the Life Chart, obtain a rebirth... upon hearing these words, she realized she had underestimated the malice within human nature.
The Gu Family raised them in preparation to take their lives.
A layer of blood covered Gu Ling’s eyes as she thought of how her aunt’s health was gradually improving, and her own mother’s health was declining; a metallic taste rose in her throat.
Even she herself probably had become a human spirit pill for Gai Yun.
Is this why that man repeatedly insisted that she stick close to Gai Yun?
Hateful~
At this moment, Gu Ling wished those people dead.
She fell to her knees before Su Li, "Sister, please help me."
Su Li flicked her fingernail, speaking indifferently, "Do I look like a kind person to you?"
The next second, she chuckled, "Bingo, congratulations, you got it right, I am indeed a good person raised under the red flag."
This shift in tone came so suddenly that Gu Ling found it hard to accept.
Before she could say more, an inferior yellow talisman was thrust into her palm.
"Fate brought us together, it’s a gift for you."
When Gu Ling finally looked up from the yellow talisman in her palm, the person in front of her had vanished without a trace.
Gu Ling quickly hid the yellow talisman close to her body, sitting on the ground for a while to calm her emotions.
By the time she was leaving the café with her luggage, she had turned back into the silent, expressionless girl usually following behind her half-sister.
She returned to the temporary residence the Gu Family rented for them, managing not to reveal any emotion in front of the sister who likely stole her original Life Chart.
When her fresh blood soaked the yellow talisman entirely, a faint spark emerged from it out of thin air.
Soon, the spark grew into a fireball, enveloping the yellow talisman in flames.
Gu Ling watched quietly, the intense sound of burning filling the tranquil space.
She could hear the sizzling sound of water and oil touching, even though it was just a palm-sized piece of yellow paper, it burned for quite a while.
When the flame gradually extinguished, the yellow talisman turned to ash, leaving a black, gray mark on the ground.
At that moment, she felt a lightness come over her, an invisible tether within her soul severed.
The sensation was mysterious, indescribable, yet Gu Ling couldn’t contain her overwhelming joy.
It worked~
She couldn’t quite describe it, but she knew she no longer needed to speak on behalf of her half-sister.
Even as the final shadow in her body cleared, she naturally understood the entire chain of events.
Gu Ling gasped in fear, unable to believe if she hadn’t met that person, what would have happened to her...
She couldn’t believe it.
Gu Ling silently cleaned the ashes on the ground, then turned to call her mother.
On the other end of the line, a gentle voice rang out, filling Gu Ling’s heart with warmth, and instinctively softening her voice.
Her mother was the only warmth she had in this world.
"Xiao Ling, didn’t you already let me know you were safe, why call again? Is it because of the Lady?" Toward the end, Gu Ling’s mother’s voice tinged with urgency.
She was very worried, "Don’t fight with her, try not to suffer... it’s all my fault, I’m incompetent..."
Hearing the choking voice on the other line, Gu Ling quickly explained, "No, it’s not about her."
Thinking about it brought Gu Ling a wave of sourness, both for herself and for her mother.
Why, must they naturally be inferior to those people?
"It’s not, that’s good, that’s good."
Gu Ling covered the phone, lowered her voice, and suddenly said, "Mom, listen carefully to what I’m about to say...."
----------
Seeing Gu Ling emerge from the room, Yun Yu gave a charitable smile, while Gai Yun didn’t even lift her head, just kept putting food into Yun Yu’s bowl, "Eat more."
Gu Ling kept her head down, murmuring, "I’m heading out."
Gai Yun curled her lip, "Go ahead, remember to buy stuff for me, I’ll send the list to your phone later."
"Ah Yun, there’s plenty of food, let Xiao Ling eat some too."
Faced with Yun Yu’s smiling face, Gai Yun didn’t want to scold but gave Gu Ling a threatening glare with her eyes, saying grandly, "She surely isn’t hungry, right, Xiao Ling?"
Yun Yu casually said that, noticing Gai Yun was unhappy, smiled, tapped the tip of her nose indulgently, and said, "You, you...."
"Then I’m off."
Gai Yun waved her hand carelessly, returning to her flirting with Yun Yu.
She was simply head over heels in love with her boyfriend.
The first time they met, she felt a familiar sense of déjà vu with him, even believing his nonsense excuses.
Unexpectedly, during her period of unconsciousness, she experienced such a romantic meeting with Yun Yu.
Indeed, their bond was meant to be.
Yun Yu was very satisfied with Gai Yun’s affection, and even more satisfied with her family background.
So engrossed in each other’s company, neither noticed the peculiar smile Gu Ling cast towards them before leaving.
Gu Ling kept her head down, sulking as she descended the stairs, and at the bottom, she spotted two men in jackets.
They appeared ordinary, with ordinary features, seemingly indistinguishable from regular people.
But as she passed them, the hairs on her arms stood on end in warning, quickening her pace.
She felt their gaze glue to her, refusing to disperse.
These two... must be the ones the Gu Family placed by the Lady’s side.
Once out the community gate, the pressure on her dissipated, and a small smile appeared on Gu Ling’s lips.
Listening to the pinging of her phone’s messages, she didn’t even check them, instead hail a taxi directly to the airport.
