My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1674: Chapter 1468: Everything Goes as Desired

Old Master Zhang heard these words from his most cherished little child, and his heart was filled with comfort. Although the words were a bit unrealistic, they stirred ripples in his heart. He understood very clearly that this warmth was what he longed for most in the depths of his heart. He was grateful for the opportunity to receive such warmth. Yet, he finally realized that what he cared about most was not money and profit, but whether his family was safe and healthy. He should be thankful for having such a perfect family in his life.

Nothing is more important than the happiness of one’s own family. He should thank the heavens for letting him understand this early on, otherwise, he would have regretted it for a lifetime. He couldn’t bear to lose his most beloved person. He had already lost his most beloved son, and if he lost another relative, he wouldn’t know how to choose in his heart. Could a shattered life ever return to how it was at the beginning?

”Foolish child, you’re so young now; how could you call yourself a grown man? Do you know that there are still many things you’ll have to go through in the future? The choices you face won’t be the same. Perhaps you won’t want to be a big man in the future, but just someone cherished by your family.”

Nothing is absolute. Don’t think that what you’re doing is great. You should believe that every little thing you do might not seem perfect in others’ eyes, but in everyone’s heart, it will be the greatest comfort of your life!”

Zhang Yichen knew what grandfather meant by those words. He didn’t make it clear but wanted his grandfather to understand that sometimes words are not enough. Real action is needed to prove and to teach children, which would have a different effect.

Everyone understood Old Master Zhang’s good intentions, yet no one addressed the crux of the matter. They wanted everyone to live a different life; each person’s life is a choice they make, not something pre-determined for them. Every step taken should come from careful thinking, and decisions shouldn’t be made recklessly, leading to lifelong regrets.

”Great-grandfather, I don’t quite understand the meaning of your words, but my heart knows! Although I’m not a man yet, I’ll surely grow up and become a noble and upright gentleman. I want to protect you and my parents, ensuring that those I care about never suffer the slightest harm. That’s what a real man should do.

I believe that one day, with my intelligence and wisdom, I’ll reach the peak of my life, making those who once looked down on me regret their decisions forever. I’ll remind them clearly of the person they abandoned, the one they despised, but who ultimately became a king among them. I’ll create a sense of imbalance in their hearts, letting them realize that some decisions, once made, leave no room for regret!

I understand that no matter what choices I face in the future, I must walk the path I choose step by step, because that way, it’s not a waste. That way, I honor the identity of being a member of the Zhang Family.

Since I’ve become part of the Zhang Family, I’ll treat its honor as my own throughout my life. I’ll uphold the Zhang Family’s reputation for a hundred years through me. I won’t let anyone look down on us. I understand; you value face the most, yet you are willing to give up your dignity for us, and that truly moves me. I’m not heartless, and my actions will earn everyone’s approval. I want everyone to understand that even if I make mistakes one day, they wouldn’t stem from negligence but from protecting the loved ones I care about.”

”Grandfather, let’s not stand at the doorstep talking. Let’s quickly go inside; it’s warmer inside than it is outside. It’s too cold outside, and your body won’t be able to take it. Trust me, the harmonious and happy life of our family matters most. Let’s not care about how others see us or think of us. Being true to oneself is the most important thing in life. Why change for others? Let others adapt to us—now that’s impressive. Don’t keep compromising yourself repeatedly to fit others!”

In truth, Old Master Zhang’s heart felt immense comfort. Finally, his family was happy, and he had everything he wanted—his long-desired happy life. The idea of a peaceful old age came into his life easily, and how could he not be thrilled and invigorated?

For an elderly person, what’s most important is having the ones he cares about by his side, seeing his once tumultuous family find peace and stability. It might be hard for an old person, but he’s grateful for the favor of the heavens, granting him everything he wished for. He also understood that such a situation is not everlasting, and one day he would have to leave those he cared about. How could he ensure they wouldn’t be saddened by his departure?

”Family unity brings prosperity”—there’s truth in this saying!
