My Alleged Husband

Chapter 832: Chapter 778 Welcome Home

”Children, as your grandparents, how could we possibly blame you? How could we not know that deep down, you have also been suffering these years?

You forced yourself to be strong time and time again, all these things you did, weren’t they because our own actions have brought you immense pain? Otherwise, why would you choose such a way to prove to us that you are right?

It is we, as grandparents, who owe you an apology. We haven’t been there for you over the years, nor have we provided any care and affection; instead, my actions kept bringing you profound suffering again and again. I am truly sorry. If there ever comes a day when time can be rewound, I wish to let myself know that deep down, I truly have you, and I am willing to open up my heart to let you see clearly that, in fact, my heart is made of flesh, it is red, not black!

Child, one day you will realize that deep down, your grandparents truly love you, that we can sacrifice everything for you, and we would still disregard any danger to life if you needed us, needing just one word from you, we could give up even life for you!

Some things we really don’t know how to explain to you now, because some matters have become ironclad facts, beyond change. I don’t wish for those things to have happened to us either; you know what? I don’t ask for much, just as you said, I want a peaceful and stable life, just want to bring joy and happiness to my family, not letting my own actions hurt and make my loved ones shed tears. To myself, this is already a remarkable thing!

These years, what you all have done is indeed remarkable; at least you haven’t abandoned anyone in this home. Because of what you have done, you can regard all these as your most perfect belongings. But me? I have never provided any help to you, what I brought you was still harm. Sometimes, I don’t even understand, what else can I bring to you besides harm?

Speaking truly from deep inside, if time could turn back just a little, even just a few years, I would definitely come back and stay by your side. I didn’t realize that you have grown up so much because I have never seen you. I didn’t know that one day I would want to return to this home.

All of these things are what I never dared to think about, nor dared to wish for. But now I have understood that many things cannot be changed just by one’s actions. As long as one has made efforts, even if one is still lacking, every person should have the courage to take responsibility for their mistakes. Now I should be brave enough to stand up and take responsibility for my mistakes; it just proves deep down I already truly know I was wrong.”

Zhang Ni felt that now things have come to this point, there was nothing left for him to cling to. The grandparents had admitted their mistakes and apologized, what more could he ask for? Was he supposed to continue being aggressive? That was not his style. If he kept being aggressive, how would he be any different from others?

”Grandparents, don’t be too pessimistic. No matter what, let me tell you some good news today!”

Zhang Zhentian and Xia Jing were excited to hear these words. They didn’t know what kind of good news their grandson would bring. Would the news he wanted to hear truly be good news? Perhaps the good news they wanted might not be so simple to hear?

”Grandparents, I sincerely welcome you home, welcome you back to this large family where you truly belong, welcome you back to a home you’ve left for so many years. Returning here might feel different from before. Now, having the feeling of returning to one’s roots, it’s like people who’ve left their homes and have always longed to return but had no way to come back. Now that you’re back, I hope you can sit down happily and not leave again!

As long as you are willing to stay here, it is a mental comfort for every one of us. We really don’t ask for much; maybe just living together happily is the greatest happiness in the world. Happiness is originally this simple, yet we often misunderstand the true essence of happiness, what it really is, only to repeatedly hurt those who could make us happy, and our actions put everything into yet another inevitable abyss!”

”Child, thank you for letting us return to this home, thank you for willing to forgive us. The words you spoke just now are the most touching words I have heard in my entire life. I am truly grateful because you have given me a different feeling. It is you who made me understand that every action I take should bear responsibility!

You are a good child, you and your father are very much alike, both profoundly part of the Zhang family’s lineage; generation after generation, we love only one person, fall in love with that one person, and for that person, we would go through fire and water.

You have forgiven us, and we will definitely settle down, not leaving this home for any reason again. We should contribute to this home, contribute something to this family. We have hurt you so much, made you embarrassed time and time again, how could we continue to do such things? Everyone has a life to live, if I continue to act on my whims, what would our life together turn into? No one can know.

Thank you for making me understand this truth, and thank you for welcoming me home today. Welcoming me home, I will give everything for you, child. Believe that your grandparents are not irredeemable, we too have a conscience for those who are genuinely good to us, and we can feel your inner heart has not rejected us.

So, I also believe that your welcoming words to us home are truly heartfelt and honest, thank you, my grandson!”

”Grandparents, isn’t it much better to live peacefully and happily now? Why bother thinking about those unhappy matters anymore? Now that you have returned, just rest well. Tomorrow, let’s all have a meal together, and let’s treat it as if all the unhappy things have completely dispersed, and let’s not bring up those unnecessary sad past events anymore!”
