Chapter 2232: Chapter 2065: Getting to the Bottom of Things
Many times, right or wrong is just a matter of perception. "Grandpa, maybe I was wrong all along."
"I always felt that the man you think of in your heart loves you. But if he truly loves you, he would understand why you act the way you do. Why do you keep sacrificing your life for him again and again?"
Zhang Yichen knew that if his father and mother continued to discuss this matter, it would only lead to deeper misunderstandings. Eventually, his wife would stand up, and by then, his parents would be on the verge of divorce. He genuinely didn’t want to see his parents’ relationship fall apart!
He’s endured too many separations in his life already. He doesn’t want his parents to suffer again, nor does he want his future children to come looking for their grandparents, only for him to keep making excuses. How cruel would that be for a child? Have you ever thought about it?
If the two of you truly care about this family, then please make some concessions. Don’t keep fighting repeatedly. It only brings embarrassment to everyone and has no benefits. The whole neighborhood is watching our every move, and today you caused such a big scene. Do you want your father to lose face because of your actions? Why can’t you look at it from Grandpa’s perspective? He’s an elderly person who also needs his children’s care..."
"Don’t say things too definitively, because the more you say them confidently, the more likely you’ll find you haven’t lived up to them. Why paint such a rosy picture when it might end up as nothing?"
"Perhaps in your eyes as a father, I, as a son, am worthless. But do you know that at least I can stay faithful to my wife? I can swear an oath; I can repeatedly put my dignity and pride on the line for her happiness. But what does my mom mean to you in your eyes? I’m only standing up for her, she also needs a stable home and a loving husband. Yet, over the years, what kind of harm have you caused my mom? You should know this well. Some things I choose not to speak of not because I don’t know but because I’m observing if you’ll change because of these things.
But it turns out I’ve made every decision wrongly. You never see how outrageous or wrong your actions are!
Do you think your marriage is happy now, and from the outside, others’ marriages are not? But haven’t you considered how unpredictable life is, and who could know what results it will bring?"
Zhang Zhentian never expected that at his age, he would be reprimanded by his son like a stray dog kept at home. He couldn’t believe his son would speak to him in such a manner. For him, it’s almost unacceptable. In his eyes, no matter what extreme actions his child might take due to his mistakes, he never believed his son would actually abandon him with nothing, left behind with no one to rely on.
For Zhang Zhenqing, this might be the greatest punishment in the world, but for Xia Ji, it’s the most painful. He only wished to be with the person in front of him. But to Xia Jing, that didn’t matter. She only wanted to flee from the debts she owed to escape his clutches as soon as possible. But do you know that some things are truly unpredictable?
"You always say you understand the boundaries, but do you know you’ve played with all those boundaries in your hands? I keep searching humbly for warmth in your tone, but when I realize that it’s difficult to progress or retreat, how cruel it is. Just when I grasp the distance, I realize it was merely the fate of a supporting character!"
This kind of attitude will surely make me profit greatly in this life."
"Some things I have no way to say or change now. When the river here became this polluted, I knew I would never return. I loved this place because of its beautiful mountains and rivers, where I could quietly think of the one I love the most. But if one day it loses its natural charm, why should I hold onto memories of myself and the one I love, lingering in this world? For him, it’s a disrespect, and for me, it’s just obscurity. I still understand."
"Dad, if deep in your heart you truly love Mom, if you truly see her as your wife, then please consider her feelings more when making decisions. Don’t ignore her inner thoughts again and again. It makes her feel incredibly exhausted, and all Mom wants is a stable life, a husband by her side, to be with the one she loves most in life. That person has already left her, and she can only live her life alone. Why don’t you seize the opportunity to touch her already broken heart?"
"Child, some things may seem easy and simple to you, but for some people, they’re the hardest decisions of their lives. No one has considered what choices they face deep in their hearts. Only by standing in others’ shoes and considering their problems can one gain unique life experiences. I’ve always lived within my subconscious, never realizing there are truly kind-hearted people in the world.
Perhaps I was too narrow-minded before, too naive, too foolish, to recognize such kindness."
In fact, Zhang Zhentian knew Xia Jun feels lonely now. He could see that Xia Jing cares deeply, but they’re both pretending and hurting each other in return.
"I’m gradually forgetting who I once was, and I’ve forgotten the path I should take!"
