Chapter 347 Substitute 6
"Are you two Gu Xin's parents, and Gu Yue and Lin Sheng's adoptive parents?"
Qing Yanrou watched the two of them walk to the sofa outside and sit with Ning Youran. She motioned for Ox-Head and Horse-Face to sit on the other side and wait, and then asked the two of them.
"Yes, yes."
"Then tell me how you originally planned to have Gu Xin replace Gu Yue after she came of age."
After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Gu Jun began to speak without any resistance.
However, this matter was led by Zhang Yan, so she should speak for it.
After Zhang Yan started speaking, Gu Xin quietly crawled to the edge of Qing Yanrou's pocket and leaned on it, listening attentively.
......
Zhang Yan's health deteriorated after giving birth to Gu Xin and she was unable to give birth again.
If Gu Xin is in good health, having just one child wouldn't be a big deal.
But things don't always go as planned.
Gu Xin had never left the hospital since she was born, and her life came to an end when she was two years old.
Zhang Yan sought for folk remedies everywhere, and finally found an old lady who called herself Wang Shenpo.
"I will leave your daughter's soul in the mortal realm so that the underworld won't find it. You will need to find a baby girl of your daughter's age and raise her by your side until she is eighteen years old.
When she reaches adulthood, I will perform a ritual to allow your daughter's soul to enter her body, so that she can be reborn into the human world."
After listening to what Wang the witch said, Zhang Yan was obviously moved, but she still had some concerns.
"Master Witch, is this...reliable?"
"Hmph, if you don't believe me, you don't have to come to me. Just go ask around in Beijing and see what I, the witch Wang, have helped people accomplish!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I don't mean to question you, it's just that I know nothing about these things, I don't understand them at all.
I asked casually, not to disbelieve you."
Seeing that she was a little angry, Zhang Yan hurriedly explained.
"Humph, since you're here for your daughter's sake, I won't bother with you this time."
Wang Shenpo glanced at her and spoke coldly with an air of arrogance.
"Yes, yes, then what should I do?"
At this moment, Zhang Yan almost believed her words and asked quickly.
"Take me to the hospital. I will put your daughter's soul into this porcelain doll. Then you can adopt a baby girl about her size. Just give me her birth date and time.
As for the other matters, you don't have to worry about them. I will cast the spell when the baby girl grows up."
"Okay, okay, but..."
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"
When Wang Shenpo saw that she had stopped talking after talking for a while, she glanced at her with some displeasure.
"Can I still see my daughter?"
"I thought you were going to say something. Your daughter is only two years old now. You don't often accompany her and tell her about the outside world.
Even if she is reborn, she won't be close to you and will know nothing about the outside world. Wouldn't she be reborn as a fool?"
Witch Wang seemed puzzled as to why she couldn't understand such a simple thing, and her tone was filled with disdain when she spoke.
"Yes, yes, I am stupid."
Knowing that she could still communicate with her daughter, Zhang Yan was now completely convinced by what Wang the witch said. As for her dislike for her, she just pretended not to see it.
"From now on, pay me one million every year until your daughter is reborn, and then give me another five million."
"Okay, okay."
This price was still within the Gu family's affordability, so Zhang Yan readily agreed.
After the two of them had discussed everything, Wang the witch followed Zhang Yan to the hospital.
Just as they arrived, Gu Xin's critical illness notice came out.
The doctor tried to rescue the child for more than an hour, but to no avail. However, this time the Gu couple were no longer heartbroken and unable to accept the situation.
Because they know that their daughter is still in this world, accompanying them in another way.
All they have to do is wait for them to find a girl, bring her home and raise her until she reaches adulthood, and then their daughter will be completely back with them.
Thinking of this, they drained the blood from their daughter's body according to Wang the witch's instructions and handed it to her. Then they couldn't wait to go to various orphanages to find a girl who could replace Gu Xin.
Because they were looking for a body for their daughter, they were very careful and wanted the body to be healthy, without any physical defects or diseases, and also to be cute in appearance.
If a child is cute when he is young, he will most likely not grow up to be ugly.
They went to various orphanages, picking out one after another as if they were selecting commodities.
Finally, Gu Yue was chosen.
She is fair and tender, and looks sweet and lovely.
Isn’t this the perfect body they want for their daughter!
After they brought Gu Yue home, they really loved her as their own daughter.
After all, this is the body they chose for their daughter, so of course they will treat her well.
However, as they spent days and nights together, the Gu couple suddenly felt sorry for the lively and lovely little girl in front of them, whose eyes were full of their thoughts.
But when they thought of their daughter still inside the porcelain doll, they forced themselves to harden their hearts.
Finally, they decided to adopt another boy, not only to divert some of their attention, but also because they were afraid that their daughter would be too unfamiliar with the world after she returned.
They would feel more at ease if they adopted a boy now and asked him to take care of their daughter instead of them.
This led to the adoption of Lin Sheng.
So, when they later discovered that Lin Sheng and Gu Yue had different feelings for each other, they did not stop them.
After all, Lin Sheng will be nice to Gu Xin when she returns and will not abandon her.
No matter how well the Gu couple planned, they never expected that they would encounter a plane crash just two months before Gu Yue came of age.
Once the two of them died, no one would give money to Wang the witch. Even if Gu Xin was resurrected, whether the remaining five million could be cashed out was another matter.
With no money to be made, witch Wang no longer cared about Gu Xin and let her stay in the porcelain doll for another six years.
Originally, Wang the witch had gradually forgotten about this matter.
But she accidentally saw Gu Yueguang appear on TV in a glamorous manner and became a popular star.
Looking at the smiling girl on TV, she touched her old, wrinkled face, and a hint of malice flashed in her eyes.
She once again took out the porcelain doll that had been forgotten in the corner.
If it weren't for me, this girl would just be a bitch who grew up in an orphanage. There's no way she could live such a glamorous and free life like she does now.
The jealousy in her heart crawled up like a poisonous snake and caused everything that happened later.
Of course, Zhang Yan didn't know what happened later and couldn't tell Qing Yanrou. It was the Ox-Head and Horse-Face standing by who remembered Judge Cui's instructions and told her what Zhang Yan didn't know.
