My Alleged Husband

Chapter 867: Chapter 813: Understanding

Zhang Zhentian now finally knows that even if everyone else doesn’t understand him, his father is definitely the one who understands him the most. Looking back, he realizes that he has never taken care of his family members all these years, so what reason does he have now to abandon them again?

Xia Jing, upon hearing the conversation between her husband and her father, felt that no matter what, she should not let her husband be so troubled this time.

Zhang Zhentian has already paid too much for her sake, and she cannot be so selfish.

”Dad, you know how difficult it was for me to come back to this family, and I too wish to live here forever, but I really can’t stand to see my wife suffering at home just for the sake of my staying. If this is the case, do you think I am still a good husband?

The men of the Zhang Family, each one loves his wife. I regretted leaving home at that time, but it doesn’t mean I would make a different choice. I love her just like you love mom, a feeling that I believe you will never forget, a love that is deep and unforgettable, that won’t be given up just by casual persuasion from family members!”

Old Master Zhang really doesn’t know what to say about his son now, completely stubborn.

”What do you expect me to say to you now?

Do you ever think if the decisions you make will cause us heartache?

Why are you still so inconsiderate of your family’s feelings?

What are we, your family, in your eyes? Do you think we don’t feel pain? Can you please consider our feelings a little more? I don’t have much time left, and it might be that one day when you wake up, you will no longer see me. Even if not for me, you should also think about your child; he has already suffered enough.

You might not care about me, your father, but I beg you, please care about your child!”

Zhang Zhentian didn’t expect his father to humbly beg him, all just to keep him from leaving the family, or more precisely, to not let him leave his son. What has he, as a father, actually brought to his son over these years? Nothing but harm, what reason does he have now to leave the family?

”Dad, you should understand me. You know, I can’t abandon my wife. If I could, I would have let her go long ago. Please understand me, can you not force me?

Isn’t it good for everyone to live steadily and peacefully?”

Xia Jing did not want to see father and son quarreling, she pretended as if she hadn’t heard anything and walked out smiling at her husband.

”Dad, what are you two doing here? Are you hungry? If you’re hungry just tell me, and I will cook something for you.”

Old Master Zhang, a wise man, knew that Xia Jing was trying to make peace, and he didn’t say much else, simply following Xia Jing’s suggestion. He thinks if his son could be half as clever as Xia Jing, things wouldn’t be so troublesome; unfortunately, he has a foolish son.

Zhang Zhentian still can’t figure out how his wife managed to intervene so aptly? Why does his father tell Xia Jing he is hungry, when just moments ago, he was discussing a completely different issue with him?

This left him unable to respond quickly enough. Why is it that what he wants is always elusive, and why must his thinking always lag behind? This put him at a disadvantage.

Even so, he cannot change his brain, his brain is simply useless.

If his mind was really a bit sharper, perhaps he wouldn’t have ended up like this; after all, his mind is just not good enough!

Xia Jing doesn’t know about the inner turmoil of Zhang Zhentian; she thinks no matter what, her husband shouldn’t suspect that his brain reacts slower than others. That would be what only a fool would consider, would her husband really turn into a fool?

”Xia Jing, there are some things I still think I should tell you, now that you have returned to this family, no matter what, you should focus on the family and live well, without delving into thoughts that shouldn’t be entertained, as they bring no good to you,”

Xia Jing clearly understands what Old Master Zhang means by his words, but she cannot overtly object.

”Dad, I understand what you mean. Rest assured, now that I’ve decided to return to this family, I will not leave no matter what. Being able to come back here already satisfies me greatly.”

”Child, there are things that I know don’t have much to do with you. Sometimes the measures you take are all for the sake of your family, yet you have forgotten the harm your actions have brought to every individual.

I didn’t want to lay it out like this, but I believe you have heard all the conversations between me and your husband. Do you really have nothing to say, just staying here, oblivious to everything? Do you really want to see him continue to suffer because of your troubles?

Actually]}, you don’t want this, because deep down you love him, and you would rather get hurt yourself than bring him pain.”

Zhang Zhentian never expected his father to suddenly reveal his thoughts to Xia Jing, making it hard for him to express himself. He feels really conflicted and pained, but he can’t help it; he just wants his wife to be happy and not to be saddened by anything.

”Dad, why do you discuss these things with Xia Jing between us two? You know that she didn’t mean it; all this is my own conjuring. Wouldn’t discussing it with me suffice? Telling her makes her feel awkward, doesn’t it? This makes everyone uncomfortable!

Or do you feel that speaking to me, your son, embarrasses you?”

”Zhang Zhentian, who allowed you to speak to dad in such a tone? He is an elder, don’t you know you should respect him? Do you think this behavior is appropriate?”

Zhang Zhentian realizes his loss of composure. He failed to control his emotions, he feels quite sorry for Old Master Zhang. After making so many mistakes, he is now angrily outbursting at his own father—his heart must be aching, doesn’t it?

Why does he fail so miserably as a son?
