My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1034: Chapter 894: The Final Result

”Grandpa, what happened afterward? What happened between you and Grandma?”

Later, I rushed out of the airport in a hurry, looking back every few steps to see if Li Jiayuan was chasing me. After checking several times, I felt relieved when I saw she wasn’t. Now I prepared to return to the Zhang Family with my luggage.

When I arrived at my family’s doorstep, my eyes were filled with tears as I looked at the door. I didn’t expect: ”After running in circles without being caught, I ended up back here alone. Looking at this door, I felt reluctant in my heart, wondering if Dad would feel disappointed seeing me return alone without Xia Jing.”

I stood at the door, thinking over and over, and finally pushed the door open and entered. As soon as I went in, I saw my father sitting on the sofa. I dropped my luggage and ran towards him.

”Dad, I’m back!” I looked at my father with tear-filled eyes. At that moment, I didn’t think of anything and fell on my knees in front of him: ”Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have treated you like that because of Xia Jing. I shouldn’t have scalded you with hot water, nor should I have stolen alcohol to drink. Dad, I really made a mistake. Can you forgive me?”

I knelt on the ground, begging for my father’s forgiveness.

When he saw that his son had returned, he immediately stood up. He walked over to Zhang Zhentian, without glancing at me kneeling on the ground. He looked around behind me, hoping to see someone he was expecting. He was waiting for Xia Jing to return.

”Dad, what are you looking for? Am I not right in front of you? Why do you keep looking behind me without even glancing at me?” Unexpectedly, as soon as I asked, Old Master Zhang’s anger flared.

Without saying a word, he walked over and slapped me on the face. I was stunned by my father’s sudden action and asked, ”Dad, why did you hit me? What did I do wrong?”

”You didn’t do anything wrong. Let me ask you, where is Xia Jing? Didn’t you go to the UK to find Xia Jing? Why did you return alone? Did you forget you promised me you would definitely bring Xia Jing back?” When I heard my father say this, I suddenly realized that his anger was because I didn’t bring Xia Jing back.

”Dad, there’s something I don’t understand. Didn’t you dislike Xia Jing before? Why are you hitting me just because I couldn’t bring her back now? You wouldn’t have done this before. I want to know if Xia Jing’s place in your heart has already surpassed me, your son?” Zhang Zhentian looked pitifully at Old Master Zhang, thinking his father would at least comfort him seeing his sadness. But he didn’t expect his father to laugh instead of comforting him.

”Zhentian, you’re such a fool. I’m hitting you because you couldn’t bring Xia Jing back. Who do you think has a more important place in my heart?”

When I heard him say this, I didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. Happy because my father finally considered Xia Jing as part of the family, yet sad that my place in my father’s heart had already been surpassed by Xia Jing.

”Dad, can you first listen to my explanation?” I looked at my father with a face full of grievance.

”Sure, of course. Go ahead!” As Old Master Zhang said this, he returned to the sofa and sat, crossing his legs while looking at me.

”Dad, I really tried my best. It’s not that I didn’t want to bring Xia Jing back. I also wanted her to come back with me, but who knew...” I recounted what happened in the UK to Old Master Zhang, and his face showed no expression.

”The floor is very cold, don’t kneel there anymore. Get up. Since things are like this, I have nothing more to say!” Old Master Zhang said to Zhang Zhentian with disappointment: ”I hope Xia Jing can keep her promise to come back and visit this old man.” Seeing my father like this made me feel very sad. He hated, hated his own incompetence, hated that he wasn’t a good son, hated that he wasn’t a good boyfriend.

When Aunt Xu finished making dinner and called Old Master Zhang and me for dinner, Old Master Zhang, without lifting his head, just said, ”I’m not eating, you go ahead!”

I knew my father was upset because of the Xia Jing matter. I felt that since my father wasn’t eating, how could I have the cheek to eat as his son, so I also said to Aunt Xu, ”Aunt Xu, I’m not eating either. You go ahead. I’ll head upstairs first!”
