Gu Yundong’s fingers paused and she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. However, she had already thought of the words she had prepared before.
Unexpectedly, before she could speak, she heard Gu Dajiang sigh faintly. “Indeed, that person is right. You have really grown up.”
Gu Yundong was speechless.
“Father, that person? Who was it?”
Why did it feel like she couldn’t use the words she had thought about a hundred times?
Gu Dajiang took another sip of porridge before saying, “That person was a traveling Daoist priest. He was especially capable. I had been studying for a few years and didn’t really believe what these people say. If you hadn’t cried too hard back then and couldn’t be put into sleep no matter what, and the doctors couldn’t do anything, I wouldn’t have listened to him.”
Gu Yundong was a little confused. Wait, what did that mean?
Gu Dajiang explained to her, “Your mother was beaten up by… Madam Zhao until she gave birth prematurely.”
He no longer called the two people from the Gu family his parents. Gu Yundong had already told him that while he had distracted the attention of the bandits for the sake of his family, in the end, his family of four had been chased out of the team by his parents to fend for themselves.
In that kind of environment, his father knew that his wife was foolish and his children were young. There was only one outcome for them after they were chased out, but his father still did it.
Although Gu Dajiang had long been disappointed in his parents, this time, he had really severed all ties with them and would no longer treat them as family.
“When you were born, you were thin and small, and your breathing was extremely weak. However, you kept crying. No matter how we coaxed you, it was useless unless you cried until you were tired and fell asleep. It was that traveling Daoist who helped you stop crying. He also said that your soul was unstable, and in the future, you would be an extremely easily agitated person until you were fourteen years old. If you safely survived a death tribulation and your soul returned to your body, you would truly grow up.”
Gu Yundong was dumbfounded. Return of the soul? Why was it like listening to a heavenly book?
She frowned and thought carefully about the Host’s personality.
She was indeed a sentimental person. She could cry for two hours under the blanket for small matters.
She had never liked the Host’s personality. She felt that if she didn’t stand up for herself in such an environment, how could she not be bullied?
She had been very puzzled. With Gu Dajiang’s personality, how could he have raised such a fragile daughter?
Now that she heard him say this, she could understand.
Gu Yundong’s frown deepened. She thought of her life in the modern world.
She was the complete opposite of the original owner of the body. Be it in the orphanage or later in society, she looked at everything indifferently and coldly. Therefore, she did not even have a friend. She did not even feel a deep bond with her foster parents who had adopted her.
Gu Yundong could not help but fall into deep thought. So, her modern self was also in an unstable state?
Because of a famine and an apocalypse, the two of them experienced a death tribulation and became one?
Gu Yundong pursed her lips tightly. Now that she thought about it, some things were very strange.
For example, how she was easily moved by her mother and siblings. In just a month, she was able to take care of them, protect them, and feel sorry for them.
For example, even though she had never met Gu Dajiang, she could still feel her heart ache and panic when she saw him seriously injured.
Was it because they were her family to begin with?
