Chapter 977 - 980: The Tip of the Iceberg in the Dense Fog 4
"I don’t know when your father found out, perhaps he noticed from the very beginning. I don’t know how he noticed, maybe he had been observing me in secret for a long time. Even though I was extremely careful, I am after all not Ziteng. Those little habits in life, I might be able to fool others but to deceive someone who deeply loved Ziteng, how easy could that be!"
"The love between your father and Ziteng was so deep. Even if Ziteng had told me all their little secrets, it was impossible for me to be mindful of every single one! Back then I was too overconfident, thinking I was being careful enough, believing he hadn’t noticed, convincing myself I could replace Ziteng and play the role of both wife and mother, until... until..."
She had indeed played her part well enough, at least her clueless son had never realized that his mother had been switched out long ago, even when her temperament changed, even when she went from a kind woman to one capable of matricide, he never doubted her identity!
Gu Shaocheng’s face was as still as water, his fists clenched tightly: "Until what?"
He Yingteng’s thoughts went back many years, to the time when she truly fantasized about replacing Ziteng and becoming Gu Lianhe’s woman!
She loved Gu Lianhe!
She still remembered that day, when a man appeared next to Ziteng, tall and handsome, generous with his spending, causing her heart to flutter with his every move, the first time she experienced what’s called love at first sight.
At that time, Ziteng was playfully clinging to Gu Lianhe’s wrist, her smile radiant as she introduced herself to him, jokingly telling him to not mistake the two of them in the future. Quiet as she was usually, Ziteng talked incessantly that day, chattering so much that Yingteng found her annoying for the first time, robbing her of any opportunity to interject!
Even though she and Ziteng looked exactly the same, even though she was more popular than Ziteng outside, understood better what men wanted, and had stronger social skills, more charming and captivating than Ziteng, but Gu Lianhe was simply blind, unable to see she was more suited to be his woman than Ziteng. Her attempts to offer herself were met with indifference, as if all the women in the world couldn’t catch his eye, except for Ziteng!
Why not, she couldn’t accept it!
When would he grow tired of Ziteng and see her, who was so devoted to him?
But he would rather love a woman withered like a ghost than acknowledge her young and beautiful body, how could she fail so miserably? To the point where she was inferior to a ghastly woman!
Even though that woman was her dearest sister!
She couldn’t accept it! She couldn’t swallow the blow! Ziteng was inferior to her in everything! She couldn’t match her in academics, in socializing, in dancing, the only thing that Ziteng could compete with her was a face identical to her own! Using a face identical to hers, Ziteng monopolized the full love and affection of the man she was enamored with!
Why on earth!!!!
He Yingteng’s face was full of jealousy, seething with the anger from all those years ago.
"Until what?" Gu Shaocheng’s voice came through once again.
She lifted her head, looking at his face, as if she saw Gu Lianhe’s shadow on his face, her memories and reality jumbled in her mind, momentarily unable to distinguish whether the person before her was Gu Lianhe or Gu Shaocheng.
