Chapter 978 - 981: The Tip of the Iceberg Amidst Thick Fog 5
She almost burst into laughter uncontrollably.
But the pain in her thigh snapped her thoughts back to reality.
She struggled to regulate her breathing, suppress the myriad knots in her heart, and the stabbing pain it concealed.
"Only when one day he held me, weeping and calling out ’Ziteng, don’t die, please don’t die...’ did I realize that he knew Ziteng was dead, and he knew I was Yingteng."
That was the only time he had held her, that man she idolized in her heart, completely breaking down as he held her, sobbing uncontrollably, repeatedly crying out for Ziteng not to die, a cry that pierced her heart like needles, the pain was beyond words.
It was also in that moment that she belatedly realized why Gu Lianhe had never shared a bed with her!
It was also in that moment that she belatedly understood why, despite how close Gu Lianhe and Ziteng were, he rarely visited the villa. She was placed in the villa, and would not see him for ten days, half a month, even a month at a time. Back then, she genuinely thought that by replacing Ziteng, she could enjoy his affection every day, but ever since she assumed the role of Ziteng, Gu Lianhe’s visits to the villa became less frequent, and eventually, he stopped coming altogether, until half a month after Ziteng’s death, he ran to the villa to hold her and weep...
It must have been that bitch Ziteng’s doing, messing things up, letting Gu Lianhe know early on that she wasn’t Ziteng! They had agreed to let her play the part, yet she went back on her word behind her back! It had to be that! That bitch Ziteng just wanted her to take care of her son and live a lifelong widowhood without intending for her to play the role of Gu Lianhe’s wife!
Bitches like her don’t die a good death!!!!!
Gu Shaocheng struggled to suppress the turmoil of emotions in his heart, and grasped her neck tightly: "When did that happen? When did he confront you?"
"Half a month after your biological mother passed away." An earnest He Yingteng, desperately clinging to the last straw, wept wretchedly: "Shaocheng, it’s truly not Auntie’s fault, I... was also afraid that you’d be heartbroken to learn about your mother’s illness, I had my reasons, I had promised Ziteng not to tell, I had no idea when your father realized it, I’ve told you everything I have to say, call the doctor, treat me, you promised to treat me!"
"And your father said, since it was Ziteng’s wish, since Ziteng didn’t want to upset him and you, he asked me to keep playing the role well, to raise you and not let you know the truth of your mother’s unfortunate death, really, I swear, your parents did it all to keep you from being sad, and I did it to keep you from being sad... afterwards, afterwards I’ll admit I was momentarily blinded, but as a weak woman, after your father had the accident later on, no one else could support us, I just wanted to find you a good stepfather, I had no idea Xia Yu would actually want to kill you, truly, believe me."
Gu Shaocheng didn’t believe any of the emotional nonsense she said later, and seized her neck: "Tell me! How did my father die that year?"
The time of his accident was half a year after my mother’s death, it was three days after he started investigating my mother’s illness, did he realize something during that half year? What did he want to investigate?
"Wasn’t it an accident that happened during a transaction?!" A shocked He Yingteng covered her mouth with her hand.
