My Alleged Husband

Chapter 830: Chapter 776 Changed into a Different Person

”My grandparents, can’t you really understand even now? No matter what wrong I’ve done or how much I’ve caused trouble, everyone in this world still sees things from my perspective because I’m just a child. Even if I do something wrong, my parents won’t be too hard on me. I’m different from you. Whatever you do, you just make others feel like you’ve done wrong. What you do is wrong to us.”

Of course, now, if you instantly tell me the real reason you left back then, if you can tell me whether what you told my father were true or false, I would leave immediately, I would definitely not trouble you here.

Do you really think I’m so free that I have nothing better to do? Why would I come here out of nowhere to ask you these questions? It’s because my doubts about this matter are too deep in my heart. I don’t believe it’s that simple.”

”Child, how many times do we need to tell you?

We left back then with no other reason than just wanting to live our own lives quietly and not live for others anymore.

We wanted to find our freedom, to see the vast world outside, it’s so beautiful, and we wanted to explore. Do I have to stay in one place and die alone just for the sake of a family?

Do I have to stand guard here and never step out into the outside world for my whole life?

Everyone has the right to travel abroad, everyone has the right to make a choice for their own life. Why can’t we, just because we had children, keep sacrificing our own lifetime of freedom for them?

You are my grandson, your father is my biological son, how has she lived these years? We care more about it than anyone, only we’ve never stepped forward. All the insults he received as a child, do you think we truly turned a blind eye?

We couldn’t step forward because we wanted him to grow independently, and although you might think these words are just a noble excuse for ourselves, they are our true feelings. We stood there time and again, seeing her get bullied but we held our own steps back, never taking that step forward. Do you know what it feels like, as parents, to see our own child bullied? No one can understand this feeling.”

You always think us parents are so selfish, giving up our families, our children, all we have, just for a glimpse of the world’s beauty. But did we really do wrong? Who doesn’t want to step out and see the vast world? That world might not mean much to you now, but for us, it was an opportunity to broaden our horizons, maybe the only one in our lifetime!

This incident happened, and I know your father has been waiting outside for us for a long time.

He stayed up day and night, just to wait for an explanation from us, to wait for us to wake up. Deep down, he no longer rejects us like he used to, but he can’t put down his pride to let us come home. I know as a person, that’s about dignity and pride.

He cannot lay down both dignity and pride, but I’m already happy that he can do so much now. I never imagined that my son would one day agree to let his father come back and be by his side!”

”Grandpa, you know full well that this is not the answer I want. You also know that I’m standing here not to hear these things, but for a correct answer. Why did you really leave? What did you hope to gain by leaving? Aren’t the people you ultimately hurt the ones who love you the most?

You didn’t see my father watching over you two, his eyes bloodshot, but he never closed them. He was afraid that if he closed his eyes and woke up, he would hear bad news about you. He was afraid to completely lose you forever. But what about you? Did you ever consider the psychological impact your actions would have on your own son?

Even though my father stands at the pinnacle of life now, it has nothing to do with you. He got there on his own, not through anything you gave him. What you’ve done is just insulting him, claiming that everything he achieved today is with your help. But have you really helped him?

Aside from hurt, what have you given him?

In fact, deep down, you don’t even realize how many mistakes you’ve missed throughout your life because you’ve never counted your errors.

Heaven has a pair of eyes, always watching you. Do you think it can really turn a blind eye to all you do? It’s not like that. There’s a saying: ’The mill of God grinds late, but it grinds fine.’ I believe that whatever you did to my father, heaven will one day repay you, whether it’s good or bad, and you’ll have to bear that alone.

I’ve brought your greetings to Grandma and Grandpa today. I’m not trying to drive you away, on the contrary, I’d truly welcome you back home, after all, having everyone together in this house is what makes a true reunion. I don’t want my father to keep missing you every day, I don’t want my great-grandfather to stare at your photos and zone out, I don’t want them to secretly cry in corners anymore.”

I’m doing this not for myself, not for you, but for this family. I don’t want this family to fall apart, just as I can’t bear to see my father, my great-grandfather suffer like that again. They’ve endured too much already. Let me take all the remaining pain in their place; how can I bear to watch them get hurt once more?

Please rest well!”

Zhang Ni expressed his heartfelt thoughts, feeling much better, and left cheerfully. However, Zhang Zhentian and Xia Jing were not so lighthearted. At this moment, their hearts were heavily burdened, they never expected that their actions would result in such a blow and hurt.
