My Alleged Husband

Chapter 734: Chapter 704 Self-inflicted_1

”I always feel that the man you have in mind loves you, but if he truly loves you, knowing what you are doing, how could he not love you? Why do you still choose time and again to sacrifice your own life for him?”

Zhang Yichen knew that if his father and mother continued discussing this issue, it would only lead to deeper misunderstandings. Eventually, his wife would have to step in, and at that point, his parents would be on the brink of divorce. He really didn’t want to see his parents’ relationship fall apart!

Having endured far too many separations and losses in his life, he didn’t want his parents to suffer once more. He also didn’t want his future children to come looking for their grandparents, leaving him to fumble for excuses once again to fend them off. Have you ever considered how cruel that could be for a child?

”If the two of you truly care about this family, please make some compromises. Don’t keep quarreling time and time again. It’s embarrassing for everyone involved and benefits no one. The whole neighborhood is watching our family’s every move, and yet today, you caused such a commotion. Do you want to embarrass your father over and over again, because of the things you do? Why can’t you think from Grandpa’s perspective, consider his feelings? He’s an elderly man who needs the care of his children...”

”Don’t be too certain in what you say, because the more certain you are, the more likely you’ll fail to live up to your own expectations. In the end, it all amounts to nothing, so why make it sound so beautiful?”

”Perhaps in your eyes, as a father, I, as your son, am worthless. But do you know that I can at least avoid doing anything to betray my wife? I can take a solemn oath, and again and again, I can sacrifice my dignity and self-respect for the sake of my wife’s happiness. But in your eyes, what does my mother count for? I’m just standing up for her, she needs a stable home, she needs the love of her husband. But what kind of pain have you caused my mother over the years? You should know very well. I choose not to speak, not because I don’t know, but because only through my silence can I see whether you will change because of these issues.

But in the end, it turns out that every decision I have made was wrong, and nothing you do ever turns out to be outrageous or mistaken!”

”Do you really think your marriage is happy now and that everyone else’s isn’t? But you’ve never considered how unpredictable life is, and who can foresee the outcomes.”

Zhang Zhentian never imagined that at his age, he would have to be disciplined by his son like a disgraced dog locked up at home. He really couldn’t believe his son would speak to him in such a tone. It was almost too much for him to accept. In his eyes, no matter what excessive actions his child took because of his own mistakes, he never believed his child would one day leave him alone with no one to turn to.

For Zhang Zhenqing, this might be the greatest punishment in the world. But for Xia Ji, it was also the most painful punishment. He only hoped he could be with the person before him. However, for Xia Jing, he wasn’t concerned about that. He just wanted to quickly escape every debt owed, to free himself from your clutches as soon as possible in his life. But do you realize that some things are just unpredictable?

”You always say you know the limits, but do you realize you’ve been toying with all the limits at your fingertips? I have humbly sought tenderness in your tone time and time again, but when I find myself in a dilemma, that’s when you realize how cruel it is. Every time I try to measure the distance, in the end, I find that it was all just a supporting role’s fate!

”With this attitude, I’m set to make a fortune in life.”

”There’s nothing I can say or change now. Knowing how polluted the rivers here have become, I know I will never come here again. I loved this place for its pristine mountains and clear waters, for the solitude to reflect on the person I love most in my heart. But if one day you lose the natural fragrance you once had, why should I linger in this world with the memories of the person I love most? It would be disrespectful to him and just confusion to me, but I still understand.”

”Dad, if deep down you truly love Mom, if you really regard her as your wife, then whenever you make a decision, please consider her feelings more. Don’t keep neglecting her inner thoughts; it makes her very tired. All my mom wants is a stable life, to have her husband by her side, to spend her life with the person she loves most. But the person she loved most has left her, and now she has to live alone. Why don’t you seize the chance to touch her broken heart?”

”Son, what seems easy to you might be the most difficult decision for others. No one has considered what they face inside, what choices they have to make. Only when you try to think from someone else’s perspective can you gain different life experiences. I’ve always lived within my subconscious, never realizing there were such kind-hearted people in the world.

”Maybe it was my own narrow vision, my own naivety that made me unaware of such kind people.”

In fact, Zhang Zhentian knew that Xia Jun was very lonely. He could see Xia Jing’s care, but he was also pretending to be deeply affected. They were both retaliating against each other.
