IBTSOME Chapter 89 Part 2

I BECAME THE STEPMOTHER OF MY EX-HUSBAND

 

Chapter 89 Part 2: Moonlight

 

^^

 

Gao Ran's face was pale and scary: "You blame me for ruining your relationship with Gao Xi? But this is originally mine. I told you the real person who saved you is me, so you blamed me for telling you the truth?"

 

Gu Cheng Yao closed his eyes in pain. If there wasn’t Gao Ran or if he didn't accompany Gao Xi back to Duke Yingguo Mansion back then, what would happen? He still thought that Gao Xi was the girl who saved him. The sweetness of the first month of their marriage could continue. Gao Xi would slowly let go of her defense and spikes, becoming coquettish and clingy, perhaps very soon, they would have their first child...

 

But that would never be possible, and he would never have the chance to know if he hadn't treat Gao Xi coldly, would they have become a couple. Gao Xi was dead, and his father got out of his mother's influence and married Lin Wei Xi.

 

Gu Cheng Yao's obsession with life-saving grace was all influenced by Shen shi. The impact of childhood on a person was ineradicable. When he was a child, Shen shi told him every day about Yan Wang’s life-saving grace to her, in the end the two broke through the secular barriers and became husband and wife. Gu Cheng Yao was not interested in these heroes rescued damsel in distress’ story who was full of female fantasy, but when the same thing happened to him, he still couldn’t help but fall into Shen shi's reasoning. He fell madly in love with a girl without seeing the other person's face, and even traveled far to find his savior, which was similar to what happened to Shen shi back then.

 

At first Gu Cheng Yao thought that the person was Gao Xi, the two get along well in the first month, but then Gu Cheng Yao found out that he had been deceived. The person who saved him was not Gao Xi, but Gao Ran. Gu Cheng Yao couldn't bear such deception, more so couldn’t prevent the faint condemnation in his heart. Shen shi had great admiration for life-saving grace, if he continued to treat the false benefactor Gao Xi well, it would be like betraying his mother.

 

Therefore, the following things was out of control. He married Gao Ran, his real benefactor, but he couldn't find his original feelings. Before he could develop a relationship with Gao Ran, he learned that Gao Ran used despicable means to frame Yun Hui and always slander her sister Gao Xi.

 

Yun Hui had been with Gu Cheng Yao for eleven years, and in his heart she was like an older sister. Gao Ran even used the crime of adultery to slaughter Yun Hui. Gu Cheng Yao couldn't bear it. In particular, what Gu Cheng Yao couldn't accept was the truth about the sisters Gao Xi and Gao Ran that Yun Hui revealed.

 

What was true and what was false?

 

With so many things happened, why Gao Ran thought they could go back to the beginning? Gu Cheng Yao felt more and more that it was too arbitrary for him to fall in love with someone just for life-saving grace, but when he finally understand his heart, it was too late.

 

Gu Cheng Yao pushed Gao Ran away, disregarding her pale, paper-like face, and said coldly: "I have something to do outside, so I won't be back at night.  You are after all Shizi Consort, as long as you know your place, I will give you the primary wife’s face. Let me remind you again, Wangfei’s pregnancy is a happy occasion for the mansion. Whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl, it is my sibling. If you dare to have a crooked mind, not only me, but my father will not spare you lightly..."

 

Gao Ran's tears slipped uncontrollably from her eye, her knuckles turned white, and she exhausted all her strength to grab the corner of Gu Cheng Yao's clothes: "Shizi..."

 

However, Gu Cheng Yao pried her hand bit by bit, and then left without looking back.

 

Gao Ran was so close but sadly unable to hold Gu Cheng Yao. Gu Cheng Yao took his clothes away from her hand, she suddenly lost the strength in her hand and fell to the ground. Gao Ran sat on the ground, and stared at the beautiful decorations around her, for a long time lost her senses.

 

She always knew that she was different. She had more knowledge, a more open mind, and a richer experience in wooing men than these feudal women. So she had always been confident that she could put everyone under her feet and lead a life that everyone envied. The first half of her life was just like the novels she had read in the previous life. Although she was a shu daughter, but in all aspect her life went smoothly. Her noble di older sister was not as good as her, her cute cousin was not as good as her, all women were not as good as her, and all men secretly in love with her. Gao Ran married grandly as she wished for, she married a first-rate aristocrat, and she deserves to live a life where everyone was inferior to her. But why was her situation like this?

 

Gao Ran sat on the ground for a long time. The maid outside heard Shizi and Shizi Consort quarreled and did not dare to approach, even until a long time they did not hear Shizi Consort’s movement. They were afraid that something happened, gathered their courage and lightly knocked on the door: "Shizi Consort..."

 

Gao Ran came to her senses, and quickly wiped her face, wiping away the tears that were not dry on her face: "What's the matter?"

 

"There are people from Duke Yingguo Mansion here, Han yiniang send someone to give you something."

 

"Send it in." Gao Ran ordered coldly. She got up from the ground and sorted her clothes with a gloomy face. After a while, she suddenly remembered something, "How can Duke Yingguo Mansion suddenly come Yan Wang Mansion? Who brought it?"

 

"It's Master Gao Ke. The young master is grateful to Wangfei for her grace, so he made a special trip to thank Wangfei."

 

Hearing this name, Gao Ran's face quickly sank. She sneered, and cursed in an angry voice: "Birds of a feather flock together."

 

The maid outside vaguely heard what Gao Ran said, but she didn't hear clearly, so asked carefully: "Shizi Consort, what did you say?"

 

"Nothing." Gao Ran replied lightly. She held the table and slowly sat on the embroidered stool.

 

The words from the previous life were true, men are unreliable. Only money, power, and brother from the same parent would not betray you.

 

A fierce light flashed in Gao Ran's eyes. How could she catch a tiger if she didn't enter the tiger's lair. She must let her younger brother become the heir of Duke Yingguo Mansion. All those who stand in the way must die.

  1. Wow I seriously hate this woman so much - like who does she think she is, some sort of a godly send goddess or something? 🙄🙄

  3. I'm not a psychologist, but I'm gonna say GR has NPD. Her inability to take any blame for her actions smacks of narcissism.

    1. I'm not a psychologist either but I agree with your diagnosis of GR.

    2. I just saw a youtube video explaining how a narcissistic person thinks of themselves and everyone else and it really does match GR thought process. She thinks too highly of herself (and thinks everyone else thinks of her like that too). She thinks others are worthless if they don't benefit her and seriously lacks basic empathy.

  4. I hope GR gets her comeuppance really soon. Tired of GCY's whining. He has had no single reflective thought, its all blaming or excuses.

    1. Well... It might be because of his upbringing that he can't even figure out what he did wrong... or he is just figuring it out now and seeing how shallow minded he had been.
      Let's face it - I don't say it from my personal or modern day point of view but from my rusty understanding about Confucian China - Shen Wangfei was first of all a total failure as a main wife. (Again from Confucian point of view a MAIN WIFE is a 25/8 full time job, where you have to manage the household (food, clothing, expenditures, back yard etc.), educate ALL children in the house until a certain age and manage the servants) She would be good enough as a concubine but definitely not main wife material. She not only refused to manage the estate so the old Madame had to do it till death. She also spoiled her son to the heaven. When the old Madame has taken it upon herself to educate the kid, she started bawling about old Madame bullying him (go figure...) So in the end GCY grew up as spoiled and uneducated as herself. As for why GHY didn't educate his son himself - same reason. It is not the man's job. The man started education in the child teens when it was time to find a male successor. But at that time GCY already grew wild and did what he wanted because of his early education or lack thereof.

    2. Also the only relationship he’s ever seen between a man and a woman is his mother and father (this is ancient times you don’t just go over to a friend place and see another Family Dynamic )and because of his mother’s interference and delusional way of seeing the world he thought that was a Ideal relationship. even now days because the first marriage kids ever see are their parents that’s what they tailor their own married relationships from. Basically he doesn’t understand women and their responsibilities in life(they basically run the family) because his own mother never took responsibility for any actions she took. So that moral ground work was never there for him he couldn’t build anything on (twisted logic ) And doesn’t understand responsibilities as a husband (as his father Said he was absent and the mother‘s crying stopped his grandma education) by the time he realised how badly he mess up GX was already gone. while I’m not saying he was right just that His actions make sense.For someone Who will not seek out the truth if he Already has an idealistic version told to him 🤦‍♀️

    3. Not to forget, when his mother alive, he was spoilt rotten and grew listenign such delusional story, then after she died he was basically raised by a maid. And a greedy maid like Bu Mama at that.
      Nothing good can come out of it.
      Yanwang used his self as a mirror, a standard, if he can do it why his son can't.
      At least, he admitted that he has been an incompetent father and neglected him all this time.
      Because he indeed was like that. Education was women's duty according to their value, true, but since there were no mother and no grandmother anymore, it should have been him who take care of it.
      He knew that Bu Mama was not a good thing, he should have arranged a better Mama for him if he can#t be around.
      But well... regret comes late, it is always like that.

  5. Thank you for this chapter. I am hoping that GCY will will banish GR soon or GHY will punish her and send her to a temple to reflect for the rest of her life. And also her brother will never be the heir!

  6. Well, applause for GCY, he's matured indeed. Probably the result of seeing his father's relationship with his new wife. Both father and son have finally come out of Wangfei Shen's shadow.

    GR, sigh... Well, she wouldn't be a villainess if she didn't struggle until the end. But GK is clever. How is she going to scheme against him?

    Thanks as always for the update! ❤️

    1. GK is clever but he might not be used to "women scheming", like GR using drug, causing misunderstanding, ruining reputation, etc. I am afraid now that GR has lost GCY's trust she won't stop to anything...

      Delete
    2. Hmm... I hope she won't do anything to LWX and the baby and then frame GK as being his benefactor's murderer or sth.

  7. Thanks for the update! I can’t wait for GR to lose it all!

  8. Gao Ran is still living in her delusions.

  9. jfc, she should be glad she wasn't punished for trying to upset Wei Xi with half destroying Shen-Shi's memorabilia (upsetting Wei Xi angering both men and destroying a mother and son's memories, you can imagine GCY would be hella mad if he finds out)

  10. As expected the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. It’s probably why she got transmigrated into Hanshi’s daughters body.

  11. What a waste of rebirth experience for GR. Really such a waste. She didn't use the prior experience to have a better life but used it instead to destroy lifes.
    She only points to others for her misfortune instead of self reflecting

  12. I mean gurl? Clearly you're not in your right mind 😂 gigil ako 😏

  13. I don't feel sorry for Gu Cheng Yao
    He had the chance to ask the Fl about this matter or make small investigation back then before he jumps to conclusions but no he immediately attack her and coused her death
    Now he only try to give himself excuses for what he did and put all the blame on GR

    ReplyDelete
  14. Gu Cheng Yao is inherited mental illness from his mother.

  15. GCY is learning, but not quite there yet. He is still pushing the blame on other people for Gao Xi death, not himself.
