My Alleged Husband

Chapter 823: Chapter 770: Kneeling Down to Beg for Forgiveness (Long Chapter)_9

Who among you knows what we two have been through, drifting and wandering all these years? We’ve been in life-and-death situations time and again, each time fighting against Lord Yama for more time to live. But do you know that while you enjoy supreme authority here, what about us? Our abandonment of you means we face a manhunt by the whole world.

I truly regret my past actions, regret leaving the person I loved the most, regret not knowing time after time what kind of answer I truly wanted deep down in my heart, which led me to hurt the people closest to me again and again. You really tried to find me over the years, I know that I once encountered people you sent to look for me, but we still chose to hide. Because we really have no face to return to this home, what’s the use in returning? In the end, we still hurt you, we have no face to come home!”

Zhang Yichen couldn’t bear to see his father like this, nor could he bear to see his father, having just recovered from a serious illness, kneeling on this cold floor. He knew that pleading with his grandfather was useless; it was better to help his father to stand up quickly. Perhaps only in this way could his grandfather let go of his noble and unassailable pride!

”Okay, Dad, Mom, there is no need for you to keep on like this. I’m not angry with you; he said that just because he feels indignant on my behalf. Look, I’ve already chosen to forgive you. Just stand up quickly. I believe that once you stand up, Grandpa won’t say anything. He generally respects my decisions, and you should believe that Grandpa really loves me. So these years, whether you were by my side or not, I don’t blame you because I have Grandpa. If you had not left, how could I possibly know that my grandfather could love me so much? He loves me to the point of being lawless, even indulging everything for my sake!

If you keep kneeling here, then others will say I’m an unfilial son; when they point fingers and scold me later, will your hearts truly be happy and satisfied?”

Zhang Zhentian and Xia Jing, having heard their son’s words, felt that he made a lot of sense; they couldn’t let their son endure the disgrace from others anymore.

”Who told the two of you to stand up, what right do you have to stand up? I didn’t say you could stand; none of you stand up, kneel down right away!”

When Old Master Zhang erupted in anger, Xia Jing and Zhang Zhentian instinctively prepared to kneel again.

Zhang Yichen embraced his grandfather’s arm, starting to plead with calm words.

”Grandpa, Mom and Dad can’t keep kneeling, they just recovered from illness. We can’t afford to let them fall ill again. Besides, you love me so much, you wouldn’t bear others pointing at me later and saying I’m an unfilial child who lets his own parents kneel on the ground, right? If that happens, how will others look at your grandson?”

Zhang Ni, who had been watching the drama for so long, knew it was time for his father to be hospitalized. He saw his father give him a look, signalling that he needed help. It seems that he too must step in immediately to appeal to his great-grandfather; otherwise, his grandparents might really have to just kneel on the floor endlessly.

”Great-grandpa, don’t be angry at Grandpa and Grandma anymore. You see, Dad has already started to plead with you. When have you ever seen Dad this amenable and interceding for others? If you are willing, you should accept the good turn. Deep down, you’ve always hoped that Grandpa and Grandma could come back, right? Don’t you see that our family can only be truly happy and united when we’re together? That’s what being a real family means. I’ve always wished that my grandparents could come back here to be by my side. I really wouldn’t want my grandparents to be drifting outside every day; it would pain my heart as their grandson so much!”
