My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1043: Chapter 896: Difficult to Admit Mistakes?

Zhang Yichen really doesn’t understand why, for his father, is admitting a mistake so difficult? Is it so hard for a grown man to say a simple ”I’m sorry”? A simple sentence could solve everything, why is his father so unwilling to admit his mistakes? What do family members mean to him, are they just things to be discarded at will? He never considers admitting his mistakes, he blames others for everything he did wrong, and never reflects on whether what he did was right or should have been done.

”I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for you, as a grown man, to admit a mistake. What do we, your family, mean to you? Are we just toys you can discard and hurt at will? Why don’t you ever consider our difficulties from our perspective? We always regard everything as the most beautiful gift from you, and we never thought of hurting you. But why do you treat us this way? How do you expect us to live?

You’ve never looked at problems from our point of view, never considered how difficult our lives have been. We worked so hard to get to where we are today, but have you ever stood in our shoes? You’ve been so selfish from the beginning until today, living for yourself. Your selfishness is beyond my imagination, and I can’t believe my father can be so self-centered. To benefit yourself, you discard and hurt your family. What do we mean to you?

Have you ever thought about how your mistakes affect everyone in the family? You live so selfishly your whole life, but what have you gained in the end? Why won’t you consider how others feel? Your selfishness makes it impossible for me to forgive you. All your past mistakes could be ignored, pretended not to have happened, but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid or naive, nor does it mean I can endure your hurt and deceit again and again without saying anything. I’ve kept quiet to save face for both of us.

I don’t want things between us to get more awkward or for outsiders to gossip about our family being bad or having poor moral values. I don’t want my grandpa to be hurt by these matters. Why, at this point, can you still not understand my good intentions? Why am I nothing in your eyes? When can you put yourself in my place and think about my difficulties? When can you consider the harm your actions have caused our family? You can live selfishly and coldly, but I can’t. I have my grandpa, I have my concerns, and I must make efforts for the whole family, take responsibility, and not live heartlessly like you. Maybe you’re happy, maybe you’re indifferent, but for me, life is simple: I want my grandpa to enjoy his old age, live easily without any pressure.

Take a look. Since you came back home, his pressure hasn’t lessened. He’s been hurt time and again because of you, because of your repeated struggles, your wrongdoings, your heartless abandonments. He’s an old man who sacrificed his youth for his son, even his life without feeling wronged, but rather happy because he had the chance to give for his son. Why do you treat me this way? I don’t ask much from you, just not to harm my cherished family. You can leave, not love me, not come back, but don’t use such means against us. You never consider the consequences. I only wish we could live peacefully, but what did I get instead? You inflicted harm, leaving me repeatedly abandoned by my own family.”

”Grandpa, as a junior, I shouldn’t interfere or overstep in matters between you and my father, but do you know how much my father has sacrificed over the years? Step by step, he reached today with great difficulty, giving you everything to make you happy and live effortlessly. He took care of your father, who endured all sorts of harm for you all, but my dad never chose to abandon him because he knows his family raised him diligently, and he must be grateful to them. Even a small kindness must be repaid greatly. I don’t understand how you could choose to abandon him back then.

But so much time has passed, why are you still so stubborn? My father has been trying his best to persuade you and hasn’t given up, yet why can’t you feel his heartfelt efforts? Even the hardest-hearted person would be moved, seeing their child desperately plead not to harm their cherished ones. Yet, why are you so heartless? Do you care about their feelings as you do these things? As you do all this, what do you take him as? Does my father deserve your harm, does your father deserve to be abandoned by you again and again? Wake up, don’t persist in your ways anymore!”
