"Don't bother going, it's useless. Auntie is being controlled." Guo Xuyang glanced at the lying Zhao Guimin and said.
"Being controlled?" Several people looked at Guo Xuyang with curiosity.
"If you believe me, then no need to go," Guo Xuyang said, looking at Zhan Qingguo.
"Little friend, have you seen something?" Doctor Li asked Guo Xuyang.
"Yes. This situation is really rare. To still exist after such a long time." Guo Xuyang said.
"I wonder if you can help resolve it?"
"This is a bit troublesome, but not difficult."
"Please, young man, what conditions are needed? Just name them." Zhan Qingguo said urgently upon hearing that Guo Xuyang could solve it.
"It's not about me setting conditions, but you having to make a choice," Guo Xuyang said, glancing at Zhan Qingguo.
"What choice?" Zhan Qingguo asked.
"It's either Auntie's lifespan or your children's future."
"Please explain more clearly."
"This is something you did years ago, and someone has to pay for it. Auntie must be around fifty now, right?"
"That's right, she just celebrated her fiftieth birthday not long ago," Zhan Qingguo said.
"Auntie originally had seventy-three years of lifespan, but unfortunately, what you did back then was too much. For your career and for your children, you harmed a life that was about to take shape. You didn't perform any rituals for its transcendence at the time, so this hidden danger was planted. Now, either ten years of Auntie's lifespan will be used to repay it, or your children's future will be used to repay it. This is a difficult choice, but there's no other way," Guo Xuyang said.
"Is there no other way?"
"Yes, but that requires your daughter's consent."
"What way? As long as my mother can be saved, I'll agree even if it costs my life," Zhan Yifang said.
"You can never leave me in this life, and you must bear my children," Guo Xuyang said.
"This means I will transfer the karmic debt from your mother onto you, and then you will repay the debt for your mother."
"You're not doing this on purpose, are you?" Wang Qi couldn't help but say upon hearing Guo Xuyang's words.
"Of course, the choice is yours. If you don't believe me, then forget it."
"I wonder if you could explain it a bit more clearly?" Doctor Li asked.
"Please let Mr. Zhan explain this. It's not for me to overstep," Guo Xuyang said.
"This..." Zhan Qingguo pondered for a moment.
"Back then, when I was in the town, Guimin was pregnant, and it was a girl. At that time, a couple could only have one child, so Guimin and I discussed it and decided not to have it. No one could guarantee that the next pregnancy would be a boy, so we consulted someone. That person told us to use this unborn child as a medicinal ingredient, gave us medicine, and promised that we would have a son, and it would also help my career. However, the person also said that if we wanted the child to grow up healthy, they must be sent abroad after turning eighteen. At the time, we were half-believing and half-doubting, and our minds were clouded. We did as that person said. Unexpectedly, we later gave birth to twins. And my career began to go smoothly, with a promotion almost every three to five years. By the time they were eighteen, I was already in a principal position. I remembered what that person had said, so as soon as they both turned eighteen, I sent them abroad. It was around that time that Guimin's health started to fluctuate. It's only been in the last year or two that her episodes have become more severe," Zhan Qingguo explained.
"That makes sense. What you did back then was too excessive and offended heavenly principles. Furthermore, no rituals were performed for the unborn child, so it became trapped in Auntie's body. It has grown rapidly over the years, and as Auntie ages, her bodily functions are not as good as before, which is why this situation has occurred," Guo Xuyang said.
"What did you mean just now about transferring this to Fangfang?"
"If we talk about it, she should be considered Zhan Yifang's elder sister, so it's easy for them to get close. This way, she can attach herself to Zhan Yifang. The reason that person told them to go abroad after they turned adult was also for this reason. Otherwise, problems would inevitably arise for the siblings sooner or later."
"No wonder things are always going wrong when we're together?" Wang Qi muttered.
"And running into that scumbag Wang Hu."
"These are minor issues; more serious consequences would be accidental deaths," Guo Xuyang said.
"Then, won't transferring her to Fangfang cause harm to Fangfang?" Zhan Qingguo asked.
"Didn't I say it? If she bears my children, she will be fine. Of course, if she refuses, I can't guarantee her personal safety."
"If I agree, can you really save my mother?" Zhan Yifang asked.
"Of course. If I say it, I can save her."
"Alright then, I agree. As long as my mother can be saved, I'm willing to bear your children."
"Does Mr. Zhan agree?" Guo Xuyang asked, looking at Zhan Qingguo.
"This..."
"Dad, I'm willing. Please don't stop me."
"Then alright, I hope you will treat Fangfang well in the future."
"My woman, of course, I will cherish her. You don't need to tell me that. There's one more thing, Mr. Zhan, please step aside." Guo Xuyang said, preparing to go out.
"Just say it, no need to go out," Zhan Qingguo said.
"Fangfang might have mentioned to you about me wanting the factory buildings. I need Mr. Zhan's help to coordinate. Of course, I won't make it difficult for Mr. Zhan. I will purchase the factory buildings at market price to build a manor-style residential community. I will submit the design according to the procedures, and the design concept will be timeless for at least thirty years."
"As long as it doesn't violate principles, I will support it. The prerequisite is that it's not less than the value of these factory buildings."
"You can rest assured about that. I have prepared one hundred billion yuan in funds, which is currently in the bank. As long as you agree, I will arrange for people to proceed with the process as soon as possible."
"In that case, please arrange for someone to come see me tomorrow," Zhan Qingguo said.
"Do you know Cheng Xiuping?"
"The eldest young master? I know him. He has no interest in officialdom and only wants to do business and make big money. Why? Are you talking about him?"
"Yes. He will contact you on my behalf then, and he will handle these matters in detail."
"That way, there will be no problem, as he is familiar with these procedures. Come to my office tomorrow."
"If that's the case, please let the others go out first. Fangfang, stay behind," Guo Xuyang said.
Zhan Qingguo looked at Zhan Yifang, walked over, and hugged her. "Dad and Mom are sorry to you."
"Dad, don't say that. I've never told you, but I've fallen in love with Guo Xuyang. Perhaps this is my best destination," Zhan Yifang said.
"As long as you don't resent your parents, that's all that matters. If you need anything in the future, just tell your parents."
"Dad, I just want everyone in our family to be well. I don't need anything else."
"Good child, you've been wronged," Zhan Qingguo said, wiping away tears before leaving.
Doctor Li and Wang Qi also followed him out.
