Yeah what i hate most about Gu Yangshen is that he keeps justfying his behaviour by blaming it on Wen. In his mind, Wen marrying him for money (which is not the truth but is what he thinks) justifies him physically abusing him, cheating on him, verbally berating him, publicly humiliate him. Like no. Calm down.
Exactly. What he went through (the kidnapping) and his mom, zhoufeng, shen luoan hiding stuff from him making him a pawn for their games is completely separated from the fact that he CHOSE to treat Wen Niannan like shit. Which is why even though he doesnt know what's going on most of the time, I don't sympathize with him. Acting upon influence and acting upon choice are completely two different things
***Contains Spoilers***
Yansheng is such an a**hole. Really!! I know people keep secrets from him and he is kept in the dark this whole time and he is so gullible, but that doesn't excuse his behavior towards Wen Niannan.
I'm just satisfied that in the novel, Gu Yansheng is suffering and regretting. Just what we need!
