My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1659: Chapter 1453: Misunderstanding

Xiao Wei and the others still don’t know about their sister’s situation. He thought he should be living happily now, but how could he have imagined that in this short period, his sister went through so many accidents, one after another, leading her to become erratic and unable to differentiate right from wrong, even struggling with the simple act of eating. If he knew, he would probably be deeply pained, as she is the sister who has been by his side for many years.

He has always wanted to return to the country to be with his sister, to see how she is doing now, but he has been held back by his wife. He couldn’t let his wife be disappointed; he knew what she expected of him.

He used to live carefree and do as he pleased, but now he couldn’t do that anymore because he had his own family and responsibilities he should take on. He should change for his family, rather than being as reckless as before and doing whatever he wanted, ending up pushing his loved ones farther away. What he desires is simply for his loved ones to be by his side forever. Perhaps this is the most precious thing everyone hopes to attain once they have a family!

”Now you’re telling me that it’s my fault that mom ended up like this. Even if I really had something to do, can’t I leave for a little while? I admit that this matter was my negligence, that I didn’t expect mom would change so suddenly. Isn’t this also a kind of pain for me? I never imagined I would have to guard her constantly in this way. If she were clear-headed, wouldn’t she find this extremely painful? She has never endured such suffering, and now she can only endure it quietly on her own. In the end, all of us have jointly brought this upon her.

Do you have your matters to attend to? I know you care about your career and this family. Do you think I don’t care? She is my biological mother. Wherever and whenever, I always hope she is healthier than anyone else, and I wish more than anyone else for her to be safe and sound. But some things are truly beyond my control. Every decision I make only brings me unending agony, and no one cares about my inner thoughts. Why do I keep making sacrifices repeatedly? Up until now, you haven’t told your uncle about this matter; are you afraid that he’ll come back and hold you accountable?

If your sister knew that because of mom’s situation, you want to kick grandma out of the house, do you think your uncle would agree? Would he continue to trust you from within?

Actually, you know better than anyone that you need your uncle’s trust because he holds significant power. Even though he’s been out of the underworld for years, he still has connections, and his network is still robust. You’re consistently afraid of offending him, and you dare not kick your mom out because of him, yet now you try to push all the blame onto me. I’m not foolish enough to take all the blame for you.

As for my grandma, I think you should communicate with them properly. Whatever purpose they have for returning, since they’ve chosen to come back, they should settle down here peacefully. Don’t create more trouble; it only brings harm to everyone without any benefit. Don’t completely hurt everyone and regret it later. No one will tolerate him for past mistakes. Everyone has their own matters, and he should bear the heavy price for the actions he takes.

Even if I’m not sure whether my mother ending up like this is related to him directly or indirectly. If it weren’t for their return, how could my mother have been neglected? Over the years, how has my mother treated you? Do you really deny knowing this deep down? You’ve betrayed my mother’s trust, placed her in the most awkward position, making it impossible for her to interact with you, and thus she became more reclusive.”

”Even if all the issues you’re mentioning are entirely my problems, shouldn’t you reflect on whether there’s really nothing wrong within yourself? She’s your mother; she’s only my wife. I have my own job, should I not care for her, understand her, and accompany her instead of neglecting her? Yet you, you’re her son, the child she bore with great effort and gave birth to over ten months. You’re her younger generation, and if you can’t spend every day with your mother, then how do you expect me to?

Do you not need to eat? Does your grandfather not need to return home and enjoy some happiness? Does your great-grandfather not hope that we all can have successful careers? Everyone has different expectations for one another. Just like my expectations for you: as long as you’re happy, even if you achieve nothing, I’d still be happy. I’m willing to give you all the wealth so you can live a life without worry. Would you be willing to accept that?

No need to say, you surely wouldn’t accept it, because such a life would be like that of a puppet, constantly scorned by others, called an unaccomplished person. Even you wouldn’t want to live like that, let alone me. The pressure I’ve endured is no less than yours. But why do you want me to endure the same suffering again and have others scorn me daily? Am I a useless person, abandoned by my parents?

Can we both stand from each other’s perspective and consider things? If you truly find this depressing, then we can take turns. When one is on duty to look after your mother, that person must stay, no matter what, even if the sky is falling. If you can manage that, I will accept your opinion without complaint. I would stay here to guard her, but it can’t be me staying every day while you manage your matters. Don’t my company’s thousands of employees need to eat? Wouldn’t my company need to operate? Could it be that my money would fall from the sky like pies into my pocket?”

Life is cyclical, without any rules. Time flies by, what a painful life!
