My Alleged Husband

Chapter 862: Chapter 808: Don’t Interfere

”Xiao Wei, whether our brother-in-law really loves our sister or not is something we just can’t ask about, nor do we have any way to control it. After all, it’s a matter between husband and wife. As outsiders, all we can do is to make sure our own family members are not harmed. If because of us, time and again, our family suffers pain and hurt alongside us, then what are we truly doing this to them for?

Some things just aren’t meant to be complicated. If our poking around makes everything too complicated, do you think that’s good for us? Or put another way, is it something happy and joyful for them?

Actually, you should know that some things we really shouldn’t interfere with.

Because it’s possible that the issue wasn’t that serious initially, not causing her such pain, but in the end, our involvement could leave them both heartbroken and in distress. Our actions are not helping them but harming them. We all wish for our loved ones to be happy and joyful. For us, that’s what’s most important. We shouldn’t let our selfish desires cause our loved ones such pain and harm!

Xiao Wei, sometimes even I am unsure who loves whom more. Perhaps the life they want is not what we think, but the life I want is very simple, very straightforward. I don’t want my own life to be so complicated, so full of pain.

You’ve seen firsthand how our sister lives her life. If our lives are to be just like hers, then what are we choosing this ending for?”

”Regardless of what our sister thinks in her heart, and no matter how many ups and downs her life will face, whether she finds happiness or not, all I want is for her to be happy now. If she can’t even find happiness now, then how can she continue to live joyfully?

You know exactly what kind of person our brother-in-law is, right? Even if he really loves our sister, can he keep going against his own aged father and his own family time after time? Can he really just cast aside the interests of his entire clan like he did before? I dare say he won’t now. He has learned what he really wants and will never abandon his father, his son, or his entire family for his wife again.

If he once again abandons his entire family for his wife, how can Old Master Zhang forgive his son from the bottom of his heart? They’ve only just managed to return home after much difficulty, having humbled themselves to beg their family. But if, because of a single mistake, they are completely driven away from that home, wouldn’t all their efforts have been in vain?

No one would be content in such a situation; no one wants their efforts to amount to nothing, without any return.

Liu feels he ought to call his brother-in-law no matter what, to have him honestly tell how his sister is actually doing. But just as his wife said, there are some things that, as a brother, he should not interfere with. Doing so will only place his sister in a difficult position, caught between her brother, her family, and her husband. Isn’t that just putting his sister between a rock and a hard place?

But if I truly don’t ask, then doesn’t that prove that I’m indifferent to my sister’s life? Would that not make her feel worse deep down? As a brother, what should I do to satisfy both sides? Am I really supposed to become the villain, to have everyone’s blame and revenge directed at me, letting myself become the victim, enduring all the public condemnation and pressure, for the best outcome for them?

I really don’t want to endure all the pain I’ve gone through before, yet no matter what, I can’t just sit here peacefully. Why is what I want so hard to attain in this world? Why is it always opposing me? Why do all my desires always defy my sense of caution? Why does fate keep pushing me into a corner, forcing me to go against the grain, and won’t that bring divine punishment upon me? All I want is the happiness and well-being of my family, but what have I received in exchange again and again?

”Xiao Wei, I don’t care what others are thinking, nor what state your heart is truly in, but there are some things I must make clear to you. Everyone’s attitude towards issues is different, and so the outcomes will be different. It’s all been predetermined, and you shouldn’t try to change those outcomes. No one can alter the verdicts handed down by fate!

You also shouldn’t bother calling Zhang Zhentian to ask whether he does or doesn’t love your sister. Such a question is pointless and will only make your brother-in-law suspect what your sister might have said to you. Then if there’s discord in their marital relationship, you really will have become the villain.

Lets us peacefully do what we should be doing for each other and properly protect those we should be protecting. Don’t dream those irrelevant grand dreams repeatedly. After all, those dreams aren’t ours. No matter how naive or perfect you try to be, in other people’s eyes, it will always seem like you are the one causing discord in their family, causing its ruin.

Everyone is selfish, and when it comes down to their own issues, they won’t think about their relatives. What is that familial affection worth? Isn’t the outcome we keep seeing supposed to make everyone realize that what we believed in is in fact nothing in the end? Even if you value it highly, do they really hold gratitude for you in their hearts?

If they don’t repay your kindness with ingratitude, that’s already good enough; why bother with wishful thinking of sharing happiness and joy with them?

Maybe you think these words of mine are somewhat redundant. Or perhaps, deep down, you find what I’m saying unpleasant to hear, and you don’t even want to hear such words. But it can’t be helped, there are things I must point out to you clearly, otherwise, in the end, you will be the one at a loss!”
