Chapter 292 The price paid

 Gu Xi was not that easy to fool, she stared at Ye Lan closely and said,

"Mom, what price did you pay to bind the system to me?"

"It doesn't cost anything. You are the perfect host that the system calls you. It is the system's blessing that it can find you and bind you. Don't think too much about it.

But it took the initiative to come to our door and begged us to bind it. It’s really worthless!”

Gu Xi shook his head, expressing disbelief, "You must be hiding something from me."

Gu Tang also smiled and joined in the persuasion.

"Xi'er, you really are overthinking it. We are cooperating with the system and it is mutual benefit and win-win. There is no extra cost at all.

Just ask Jiaer, I never do business at a loss, and we will never suffer a loss."

Gu Jia was called by Gu Tang and stared at, so she couldn't help but nodded.

In addition to being generous to her and her adoptive mother, her adoptive father was actually a miser and a very stingy person. If he had not confirmed that spending money would eventually yield a profit, he would never spend an extra penny.

In all these years, she has never seen her adoptive father lose money.

"Haha, look at Jia'er agreeing with it. It doesn't cost anything at all." Gu Tang said with a smile.

Gu Xi shook his head, still not believing it.

"My system has told me that there is a price. The more you conceal it, the greater the price. Instead of letting me guess and be afraid, you should tell me that it may be possible to replace it with something else or make up for it.



After hearing Gu Xi's words, Ye Lan and Gu Tang couldn't help but sigh slightly as their forced smiles disappeared.

"Let me just say, Xi'er is so smart, it's hard to deceive her."

"You have to give it a try, maybe you can get away with it."

Gu Xi listened to their words and didn't know whether to be funny or angry.

"Xi'er, in fact, the price is not much, but we can never be reborn again. You have killed the evil ghosts, so there is no need for us to be reborn again. It will be quite tiring to keep repeating it."

Ye Lan sighed slightly, his beautiful eyebrows showing deep fatigue.

If life could be repeated, countless people would be ecstatic, but when it happens too many times, and when it feels bad every time it happens again, they will no longer be happy, but will only be upset.

"What else?" Gu Xi continued to ask.

"Ahem, and the life span in this life is a bit short." Ye Lan added,

"We have really lived enough. In the past few lifetimes, we will live to be 200 years old.

Your father and I have been together for so long, and no matter how handsome his face is, I am tired of looking at it. I will reincarnate as soon as possible and find another handsome man."

Gu Tang originally listened with a smile on his face, but he realized something was wrong after hearing it.

He gave Ye Lan a sad look and said nothing.

After all, with the price they paid, it would be impossible for his wife to leave him even after she died.

Huh? Thinking about it this way, the price doesn’t seem to be a price anymore, but it’s still a good thing!

Gu Tang felt that not only did this business not lose money, it also made a profit.

"How short?" Gu Xi asked, his tone inevitably anxious.

"There are only two years left." Ye Lan said, not daring to look at Gu Xi.

In fact, she does not need to feel so guilty. After all, she has done so much to save her daughter, but she just feels short of breath and is afraid that her daughter will be angry.

Gu Xi pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, but her heart was churning and uncomfortable.

Two years?

Just two years!

According to what her parents said, they have been together for several lifetimes, but for her, their family has just reunited, and she has not yet gotten along well with her parents.

She still doesn’t know when their birthdays are, she still doesn’t know what they like to eat, what they hate to eat, what they like to do, and what they hate to do.

They have done so many things for her, but she has not done anything for them, and has not spent a day of filial piety by their side.

So, how can she accept that they only have two years!

Gu Xi felt that her heart was getting more and more painful, her eyes were gradually covered with moisture, and her vision became blurry.

Qin Xiao noticed Gu Xi's expression and couldn't help but grab her hand and hold it tightly to comfort her.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Dad, Mom, you can only live for two years?!" Gu Jia burst into tears when she heard this. She couldn't accept it at all.

"If you have to pay this price to save me, I would rather die."

"What are you talking about?" Ye Lan slapped Gu Jia on the head, "You are still so young and haven't married yet and have children. Life has just begun. How can you just die?

What I just said is not to comfort you. Your father and I have lived for most of our lives and have been reborn so many times. We have enjoyed all kinds of glory and wealth, experienced all kinds of weird things, and fought.

I really live my life well enough.

When we leave, Xi'er will take care of you, so I can rest assured. When it comes to choosing a husband, if you meet a man you like, you'll marry him if you think he's suitable. If you don't, you don't have to settle. Remember to let Xi'er look after you.



"Mom, don't say that, my daughter doesn't want to hear it." Gu Jia cried and shook her head.

"Daughter, don't lose you, no!"

Like her last words, she felt uncomfortable listening to them.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. Mom, don't tell me anymore. Oops, I can't bear your crying. I've been a crybaby since I was a child."

Ye Lan reluctantly compromised.

She couldn't help but think of Gu Xi. She had never seen her cry so loudly.

Speaking of this, she felt a little regretful.

Regarding Gu Xi, they missed too many things about her.

They missed her growth, they did not watch her grow up, and they will soon miss her having children, unable to take care of her pregnancy and confinement, and unable to entertain her grandson (daughter).

Alas, you can’t think too much about this kind of thing. If you think about it too much, you will feel uncomfortable and reluctant to let go.

"You should also know what my parents said, so I'm just asking you, do you still have any more? Are there any other conditions?" Gu Xi asked the system in her heart.

【I want to keep it secret.】

"You don't need to tell me what it is, I just want to ask if you still have it." Gu Xi was very tough.

[One more thing. Beauty, don’t be angry, you won’t be beautiful when you are angry.]

Gu Xi heard the answer and stopped paying attention to this second-hand system.

"Mom, is there anything else besides this? Is there anything else?" Gu Xi asked.

"Of course not. The price is enough. You kid just knows how to think nonsense." Ye Lan said and glared at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi ignored her slap, but looked at her father and said,

"Dad, if you don't tell me, I'll ask my system. It says that as long as I pay some price, I can know the answer. If you don't want our family to lose money, just tell me quickly."

Gu Xi, this is pure deception.

When Gu Tang heard this, he also wanted to glare at Gu Xi.

Just know how to force daddy.

Why don't you threaten your mother?

Gu Tang looked at Ye Lan and winked at her, letting her make up her mind.

Ye Lan was helpless by Gu Xi and could only say,

"Oh, okay, okay, let me tell you..."
