My Alleged Husband

Chapter 888: Chapter 829: Incomparable Human Heart (Major Chapter)_4

Even if one day I leave this world, would you let go of your prejudices against your father? If one day I truly have no way to continue living here, would you slightly soften your views towards your father? All this chaos was caused by my faults, so why do you put all the blame on your father? You’ve never cared about what your father truly feels inside. Have you ever considered how much it pains him each time he faces interrogation by his own son, how much it hurts him to be treated as if he were some criminal? His heart cannot bear it, yet he chose to remain silent, because he respects you, respects every decision you make, respects everything you say. Shouldn’t this make you reflect on whether your actions are right or wrong? He is your father, not your criminal; this is not a prison, this is a warm family home. If a family could only live like it’s in a prison, then returning to this family would be worse than staying in an actual prison, where at least there is meat and life can go on. He wouldn’t be constantly forced to endure interrogations like a criminal, as you keep doing this over and over.

Have you considered how your father feels about what you do? Have you thought about the public opinion and pressure he faces from all this? You’ve never thought about it because what you truly care about deep down isn’t these things, but merely money and benefits. Just like when you said human hearts are incomparable; you chose not to trust your father because you believe only in money, nor do you believe your family would truly care for you since you’re already scared. Just because of a mistake we once made with you, you’ve repeatedly turned us away. We never held any grudges, because you are our son, no matter the mistakes you make against us. We will never blame you, but will instead continue to love you. It is precisely because we caused you this distorted mentality that we feel deeply guilty inside. But have you considered where such actions are putting us? Time and again, you treat us this way. We are not saints; we also hope our family can forgive us, can understand and appreciate our earnest intentions. When we came here begging to return to this home, did you treat us as beggars, casually giving a little just to keep us in the house? We have been treated like servants doing all kinds of house chores during this period, but what did we gain in the end? Have you thought about what we should do? You haven’t, because you are truly more selfish than anyone else. You always assume your actions are correct, but in the end, you discover that everything you did was wrong!”

Xia Jing, this is the first time he has ever spoken to his son with such a tone. He always felt he owed his son, and no matter what, he should never lose his temper with his son, let alone speak harshly, as he fears it might deepen his son’s misunderstandings. He wants his son to truly realize that as a mother, he is genuinely keen for him to be happy at home. He acknowledges the many mistakes he made as a mother, but now, he genuinely wishes for the family to live peacefully and happily. Yet, now he couldn’t contain his temper and lashed out at his son, wondering how deep within his son perceives him as a mother. Does he really think he has no credibility at all?

”Yichen, don’t take it to heart. Your mother didn’t mean it, she didn’t intend to use that tone. She was just too anxious, unable to control her temper. You know your mother speaks her mind; she’s harsh in words but soft in heart. Every action she takes is truly for the good of everyone in the family, and she hopes you won’t take it to heart. How wonderful it would be for our family to live happily, why should we make everything so complicated? This only makes everyone in the family unhappy. Living happily is the best outcome for everyone. We should avoid having conflicts like before, and avoid quarreling carelessly, which only causes chaos and prevents anyone from working in peace. Right now, all we want is to stay peacefully in this family. I hope you can trust us, not continuously doubt us. Even if you doubt me, shouldn’t you try to trust us at least once? Even just once would be good. People can change, even if you didn’t trust us before, but now we are truly returning. Can’t you try giving us even a bit of basic trust?”
