Chapter 287 The Price of Rebirth
Mu Hong truly regretted it! Over the years, she had many opportunities to make Gu Qinglang disappear from this world, but she felt that wouldn't be right. She wanted to watch that bitch's child suffer in the mountains while her own child was pampered and raised by that bitch!
Mu Hong took a deep breath and forced a smile: "I don't know what you're talking about. If you have any questions, let's talk in the ward. I don't even know who you are. I'm worried about my son-in-law's safety. Compared to our family's wealth, we're always being courted by some nobodies!"
Gu Yin chuckled: "Hahaha, indeed, our family's wealth has been coveted not only by cats and dogs for decades, but even by their descendants! You tell me, these cats and dogs, instead of licking their master's lap for food, dare to dream of being the master of the house? How can they be so shameless? Tsk tsk tsk, animals are animals! They can't be tamed!"
Mu Hong's face turned pale, and she shouted, "Shut up!"
Gu Yin raised an eyebrow: "Just say what you want to say. Getting angry and embarrassed is pointless, don't you think, you bloodsuckers?"
"How dare you!" Mu Hong was furious. Having been pampered all these years, who in the entire city would dare to speak to him like that? She was so angry that she immediately raised her hand and slapped Gu Yin's face, which she found physically repulsive!
When Gu Qinglang saw the other person's hand swinging towards him, he immediately reached out to block it. However, before he could even touch the other person's hand, the other person fell several meters backward!
Gu Qinglang looked at his daughter's retracted foot, his mind filled with thoughts like, "Where am I? Am I superfluous? What should I do if my daughter seems a bit too capable?"
After kicking the person away, Gu Yin quickly withdrew her foot and walked over.
Before Mu Hong, who was clutching her stomach and groaning in pain, could even get up, Gu Yin, who had walked over, grabbed her by the neck with one hand.
Looking at the woman in front of her, Gu Yin's mind was filled with the scenes of her family's destruction and death in her previous life.
"If you hadn't come running to me, and had stayed peacefully in Beijing, I could have let you live a few more years in peace! But you insisted on coming here yourself! I don't need to go into detail about what you've done to our family over the years! You old hag, you went from being a maid to the matriarch of a wealthy family, what else are you unwilling to accept? You've done so many bad things, your retribution has come!"
After saying that, he slapped Mu Hong's face several times, then grabbed her hair and slammed her to the ground!
Mu Hong was being choked so hard she could barely breathe, her eyes starting to roll back. Seeing Gu Yin's bloodshot, almost bewitched appearance, she panicked completely! She struggled violently.
The Zhou siblings then realized what was happening, but seeing Gu Yin's frantic state, neither of them dared to approach her!
Gu Qinglang rushed over and said anxiously, "Ayin! Let her go! Don't hurt your hand because of this person! Let her go! She can't breathe!"
Gu Yin flung Gu Qinglang away, shouting, "I want her dead!" She then grabbed him with her other hand.
I don't know why Gu Yin is so strong! Gu Qinglang grabbed her hand and wouldn't let go!
"It's not worth it! Think about your grandparents, your uncle and aunt, your mom and me! Think about your brother, your sister and Ah Le! What will they do if something happens to you! Let go!"
Gu Qinglang's words only made things worse. As soon as he mentioned those people who had died or been crippled in her past life, Gu Yin's mind went blank for a moment. Then she couldn't hear anything else. Not only did she not let go, she even sat on Mu Hong's stomach and pinched her with all her might!
001 felt the vibration in Gu Yin's mind and flew out of the work area to see Gu Yin pinching Mu Hong!
"My god! I only looked away from you for half a day and you went crazy!" 001 was so frightened that she immediately knocked Gu Yin unconscious!
What a great student! Please don't let him turn into a lunatic!
Gu Qinglang was still holding Gu Yin's hand and trying to persuade her when he saw his daughter faint!
He didn't care whether Mu Hong lived or died; he carried Gu Yin to the doctor's office in the distance.
Wang Yanzhi rested for an afternoon and vaguely heard people arguing outside. When she woke up and opened the door, she saw Mu Hong lying on the ground, panting heavily, and two people worrying about her beside her.
Wang Yanzhi frowned and walked out. Before she could say anything, she saw Gu Qinglang carrying Gu Yin and running in front of her in the corridor.
My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately followed!
When Zhou Feifei saw her grandmother come out, her eyes lit up. She was about to call out to her grandmother when she saw her grandmother run ahead without even looking at them.
In a daze, Gu Yin woke up. She looked at the white ceiling, then turned her head to look around. Well, how did she end up in a hospital bed? She propped herself up with her hands and was about to get up when she saw that she had an IV drip in her hand.
"..." Is she sick?
"You're not sick! You're worse than sick! You've gone mad!" 001 flew out angrily, hitting Gu Yin directly in the face!
Gu Yin lay back down, reached out and pinched the puffed-up 001, and whispered, "Thank you, 001."
001, who was still angry, softened at the sight of her pitiful appearance.
She pouted and asked, "Have you gotten over your anger yet?"
Gu Yin lowered her head: "No, but I can control myself now."
001 choked for a moment, then said helplessly, "You've been reborn for several years now, and holding your anger in for so long is bad for your health, do you know that?! If I had come out later, Mu Hong would have died! Was it worth it?!"
Gu Yin looked up at the window, her eyes no longer bloodshot, but incredibly heavy: "001, it's a blood feud, today, I really want to strangle her." At worst, I'll trade one life for another!
001 paused for a moment, flew to Gu Yin, stretched out its wings, cupped Gu Yin's face, and said seriously, "Have you ever thought about the person who used their lifetimes to give you a second chance at life?"
Seeing the reaction in Gu Yin's eyes, 001 continued, "That man knelt in Taoist temples and Buddhist temples all over the country, which made his already bad legs even worse. His knees were so badly broken that he almost had to have them amputated, and he also banged his forehead so hard that he had a hole in it! All because a monk told him that your fate was not yet broken. If my master and I hadn't passed by here, he would have been tricked to death by that fake monk."
Gu Yin swallowed hard: "Why? We only met once, it was just a simple favor of saving my life."
001 shook his head: "I don't know, but you should know that we are not good people. Everything we do has a purpose. We do missions for the souls of those people. Once a person loses their soul, there will never be a trace of them in this world, in heaven and on earth."
Gu Yin opened her mouth, then managed to utter a difficult sentence: "Then he..."
001 turned to look at Gu Yin: "He's lucky. My master just finished all the tasks and collected all the souls."
Gu Yin breathed a sigh of relief, but remembering what 001 had said, she asked again, "So, what did he sacrifice?"
001 lowered his eyes: "Become a mission messenger, travel to the three thousand worlds to do missions, never stop, until you get lost in the mission world, lose yourself, and become a string of data, that is, a system."
Gu Yin was completely stunned, and tears immediately fell down her cheeks.
001 instead stood in front of her, stretched out its wing and scratched her face: "So, let out the anger that's been building up in your heart, live well. This life is hard-won, don't let him down."
Gu Yin sniffed, nodded, wiped away her tears, picked up her phone from the table, found the number, and dialed it.
It rang once, and the other end answered quickly.
"I miss you," Gu Yin murmured softly. At this moment, she didn't want anything else but to hug him.
There was a moment of silence on the other end.
The door to the room was pushed open, and Gu Yin looked over and saw the person from the phone call standing there, looking travel-worn and disheveled.
"I knew you missed me, so I came here."
