Chapter 973: Chapter 977: My Spiritual Eyes Boyfriend (17)


An hour later, Gu Ling successfully met up with her mother who had sneaked out, and the two of them quickly changed identities, moving from place to place like fish in the vast ocean, with no one knowing where they went.


Gu Ling wasn’t afraid of the Gu family making a big fuss to search for them; by then, the Gu family would probably be too busy dealing with their own issues to have the energy to trouble them.


That young lady had said, after breaking the curse, the gains would be repaid a hundredfold or a thousandfold in backlash.


Gu Ling naturally believed this.


——


After spending a long time entangled with her boyfriend, Gu Yun finally snapped out of her romantic daze and remembered her half-sister.


She really didn’t want to think about it, but seeing the night sky already late, she was startled to realize how much time had passed.


She had come in such a hurry that she hadn’t had time to procure many of her usual things, and she was waiting for Gu Ling to buy what she needed.


But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement at the door.


Gu Yun unhappily dialed Gu Ling’s phone number.


On the first call, the phone could still be connected, but after a few rings, it was hung up directly.


When she dialed again, it was immediately out of service.


Gu Yun stared at the phone angrily.


This girl had really grown bold, daring not to answer her call.


Gu Yun didn’t think much of it; she had watched her parents suppress the mother and daughter over the years and knew full well that they could never escape the palm of the Gu family.


Since childhood, her mother had always told her that the two were useful to the Gu family, so there was no need to mistreat them too much, but no need to take them seriously either.


Although she didn’t understand what use Gu Ling and her mother had for the Gu family, it was enough to allow her to look down on them.


If Gu Ling knew her stepmother’s “don’t mistreat them too much” meant to this extent, she would certainly curse them fiercely.


Not mistreating them was almost costing them their lives; if they tried to mistreat them, wouldn’t they be forcing them to take their own lives?


Yun Yu kindly advised, “Don’t be angry, maybe something delayed her. Your sister doesn’t seem like someone to cause trouble. She seems very well-behaved. Don’t torment her like this in the future.”


Yun Yu thought he was being kind, but in reality, he just made Gu Yun angrier at Gu Ling.


“Alright, alright, you’re the best. I’ll listen to you,” Gu Yun agreed with a coquettish smile, but turned her head and vowed through clenched teeth to make Gu Ling pay.


She waited left and right, and it was already very late, but Gu Ling still hadn’t returned.


Yun Yu was a bit worried, “Should we go out and look for her? It’s so late, a girl by herself, surely nothing has happened?”


Hearing this, Gu Yun frowned and got up as well.


Though she wasn’t worried about Gu Ling, thinking of her mother’s instructions before she left home, she reluctantly said, “Then let’s go out and look for her.”


“Her phone is off too. I really don’t know where she’s gone.”


The final outcome was obvious, how could someone who had completely left be found?


It was at this point that Gu Yun truly panicked. She grabbed Yun Yu’s hand and said anxiously, “What should we do? Gu Ling is missing. Could something have really happened?”


Yun Yu thought Gu Yun’s expression was a bit strange; she seemed genuinely worried for Gu Ling’s safety, yet not quite.


But seeing Gu Ling was gone, she was undeniably nervous.


However, recalling the years Gu Yun spent with him as a Life, he did not doubt her.


After all, Gu Yun’s nature was still very kind.

Capital City, Gu family


When the phone call from their beloved daughter came, Gu Zihao and his wife were in the dining room drinking chicken soup.


The thick chicken soup was dotted with goji berries, looking deliciously fragrant.


Gu Zihao happily watched his beloved wife finish a bowl, quickly reaching over to serve another.


“Wife, have some more.” Zhu Ying smiled as she took the bowl and drank a few more sips before shaking her head and saying, “I’m so full.”


“It tastes great.”


Zhu Ying was over forty but still coquettishly pouted like a young girl at Gu Zihao.


Gu Zihao, pleased, said loudly, “Then give a raise to the kitchen staff.”


“Honey, I’m feeling much better. Can I stop staying at home all the time? I want to go out and have fun…Even Yun’er can go out and have fun now, I want to go out too…” Zhu Ying shook Gu Zihao’s sleeve, “Please, please.”


Struck by the affectionate look in Zhu Ying’s eyes, Gu Zihao impulsively wanted to grant her wish, but in the end, his rationality made him stop.


Whenever it involved his beloved woman’s health, despite pampering her, he still stuck to his principles.


Gu Zihao softened his tone and coaxed her as if speaking to a child, “Hang in there a bit longer, soon your body will fully recover.”


“Once the Vessel matures, you’ll be even healthier than before you had Yun’er.”


“Be good, we’ve persevered for so long…”


Hearing she couldn’t have her way, Zhu Ying was filled with impatience and threw a little tantrum, shouting, “I’ve been stuck at home for over ten years, and I still have to wait and wait. Isn’t it almost over, what could go wrong? My body feels lighter and lighter. Just going out for a brief stroll shouldn’t cause issues. Besides, that woman still has feelings for you. Even if you asked her to die right now, she’d do it willingly.”


In the latter part, Zhu Ying’s tone was full of sour jealousy.


The presence of that woman was like a thorn in her heart, constantly reminding her that her love was no longer pure.


Yet she couldn’t blame her ‘betrayed’ husband, for it was all ultimately for her and her child.


Likewise, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.


But the resentment in her heart gnawed at her like a toxic bug.


It was all because of that vile woman and her vile offspring….


Gu Zihao shrank his head, awkwardly defending himself, “Yingying, you know I haven’t had any contact with that woman for years. She’s kept here for you and Yun’er.”


“Only you and Yun’er are my lifeblood…Do you need me to cut my heart open to show you my sincerity?”


Zhu Ying, feeling wronged and unable to vent her anger, could only pout and sulk.


Their middle-aged entanglements were even more ridiculous than those of youngsters, truly an eyesore.


Yet they remained blissfully unaware, like characters in a Qiong Yao drama.


Thankfully, their cringe-worthy antics were interrupted by the ringing of a phone.


“Yun’er, why are you calling so late?”


“Gu Ling is missing.”


The Gu family, thrown into chaos by Gu Yun’s call, lit up the entire house.


“Where is she? When did she go missing?” Gu Zihao’s face was dark, foreboding like an impending storm.


Sitting next to him on the sofa, wrapped in a coat, Zhu Ying looked extremely upset.


Compared to Gu Zihao, she was more anxious, her face flushed crimson, “Find her, hurry up and bring that wretch back to me.”
