Chapter 157 My Dear Baby
"Shu Chengmin has spoken many times about her despair. The miasma has been targeting her for a long time, but you don't believe it. I find it funny that you and your mother are so superstitious, yet you don't believe what your sister says. Why?"
Gu Ji looked at Shu Chengxi, "Because she was lost when she was young and was not found until she was eighteen, you think a child who grew up in the countryside is not worthy of your Shu family's status. You think she is shameful and subconsciously reject her, right?"
She recounted Shu Chengmin's experience, her tone inevitably tinged with anger.
Shu Chengmin was right behind her. In order to find out what she had experienced, Gu Ji explored her memory. This offensive act made Gu Ji feel a little guilty.
After seeing what she went through, her guilt turned into empathy.
Gu Ji clearly understood how happy Shu Chengmin was after knowing that his biological parents had been found.
"The night she received your letter, she took out the money she'd saved for ages. Some of it came from selling plastic bottles, some from tutoring classmates, and a small amount from working illegally during the summer vacation. She knew your family was wealthy, but she still used almost all of her savings to buy you gifts. She carefully selected them and was full of anticipation, but what about you? Your first reaction when you saw the gifts was, 'Crap!'"
The west side of Shucheng is ashen.
His lips trembled, and his memory was brought back to the day he found his sister.
In my memory, my sister is cute, well-behaved and exquisite.
But when they saw their sister that day, she was completely black, thin and skinny. The whole family couldn't believe that this wrinkled and ugly child was their lost sister.
When the family heard that she had been raised in an orphanage without anyone to discipline her, they all developed a preconceived resistance to her.
Subconsciously, I felt that this sister must be fake.
They didn't even look at the gifts. When Shu Chengmin was full of anticipation, the Shu family took her to the hospital for a paternity test.
"You are so hypocritical. You say you are just trying to reassure both parties, saying that there have been many impersonators over the years and that you are doing this for her own good. But in reality, your family members are really bad at acting. Your disdainful gazes, your impatient tone, your unwillingness to touch her or her body, you isolate her from others. Every pore in your body is telling her: You are not worthy of being our Shu family's child."
Shu Chengxi held his head and shook his head: "No...it's not like that..."
"She's been trying so hard to fit in with you. You've always said one thing to her face and another behind her back. Don't you know, on New Year's Eve of the first year she came home, when your whole family was discussing in the living room why you shouldn't have taken her back in the first place, she was watching at the door and heard everything."
Shu Chengxi looked up suddenly. He would rather see his sister looking at him with hatred.
But no.
Shu Chengmin still had that naive look in her eyes. When she noticed his gaze, she subconsciously gave him a flattering smile.
At that moment, his heart seemed to be pierced by a blunt object.
The pain made him want to vomit.
Shu Chengxi began to retch.
Gu Ji frowned in disdain, "Weren't you the ones who sent her to the mental hospital? You already knew that the sister that the miasma transformed into was fake, but at first you all thought, it doesn't matter, even if it's fake, this fake one is versatile, can handle both housework and cooking, and is presentable. This is the Shu Chengmin your family needs, and you don't care about the real Shu Chengmin."
"You left a message in my livestream simply because this miasma ate your father. Your father has been missing for a week, and your mother has also become abnormal. You're next in line. You're scared, and you're lying in my livestream even when you're about to die. You even stood me up. I really hate it when people don't keep their promises!"
Shu Chengxi's meanness was completely seen through. He collapsed and cried, kneeling on the ground and slapping his face.
As for Shu's mother, she took a look.
Although he was injured, he couldn't die.
In this family, Shu's mother is the only one who treats Shu Chengmin well, but she has long been transformed into a vassal by the Shu family. She depends on her husband's power, and the only mother's love for her daughter cannot be changed due to years of brainwashing.
Perhaps, she regretted it and missed her real daughter late at night.
But it was too late.
The gentle girl had already walked into that lonely night.
Gu Ji pulled Shu Chengmin's hand, and used talisman paper to set up a formation around them. Then, the door to the underworld opened.
Shu Chengmin's blocked five senses were finally broken when he was about to leave.
Her dazed look gradually recovered, and when she saw the collapsed Shu Chengxi and his mother, there was no more nostalgia in Shu Chengmin's eyes.
"You will be fine in your next life," Gu Ji said.
Shu Chengmin nodded and looked at Gu Ji. She was still gentle and took Gu Ji's hand.
Her hands were cold, ghosts have no body temperature.
The girl's smile was very beautiful, with curved eyebrows and sparkling eyes. "Master Gu, someone is looking for you."
Gu Ji's smile paused, "Is someone looking for me?"
"When I committed suicide..." The girl paused, suppressing the sadness in her eyes. "At that time, energy burst out of my body, but I didn't know how to use it. In fact, I hated it and almost became a ghost. There was someone who looked very much like you. Her hands were very warm, just like the hands I hold now. She held me and told me how to seal my five senses. She told me to stay there and you would come to find me. You should still be suffering at that time, right?"
Gu Ji's head was in a mess.
"That person asked me to leave a message for you." She pointed to her head and said, "I remember it all, very clearly."
Gu Ji looked at her in a daze.
Shu Chengmin's eyes suddenly became very gentle, that kind of gentleness was like a quilt that was dried in the sun from nine in the morning to four in the afternoon, or like a clear spring trickling in the mountains.
Like.
Mother's eyes.
"My dear baby." Shu Chengmin spoke, and Gu Ji's nose instantly felt sore.
"I'm your mother. I know you'll always find me. By the time you find this girl named Minmin, you should have already emerged from the Dharma Realm. I don't know how long my baby has been in there, but I'm proud of you. You're very close to us now. I want to tell you a cruel truth. During the battle against Beiye, we were sealed together, and many parts of my body were made into many strange things."
Gu Ji almost instantly remembered the strange woman with two eyeballs stuck on the back of her head.
"But please, my dear, don't be afraid. I won't die. A god's body can regenerate. This is my method, though a bit bloody... But those strange things that possess my organs also have my memories. Some were trapped at the bottom of the well, and some escaped. They are all me. I will always protect you."
Gu Ji's tears had fallen to the ground without her knowing when.
The gates of hell are gradually closing.
The last sentence was: "Don't worry about me and your father, we are alive and well, we just can't show up for the time being. Don't live for us, you are yourself, you have to live for yourself."
