My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1160: Chapter 1020: Do You Remember Pleading for You Back Then?

”Do you all remember that it was me who pleaded on your behalf back then for everything? Grandfather didn’t know how to choose, and finally decided to leave the decision to me. I pleaded bitterly, begged for you, and finally brought you back to this family. But why do you still choose such a method?

Letting everyone in the family get hurt because of you. Is that really the ending you desired the most, the thing you most wanted to see happen?”

Old Master Zhang knew that anything he said now would be useless, so he decided to leave the final decision to his beloved grandson. He hoped that this decision would be made by his grandson himself. Although that could be somewhat cruel and could damage the father-son relationship, he had no choice because only then would Zhang Zhentian be convinced.

”Since your attitude towards me decides everything, then let’s leave the decision to your son and let him make it. What do you think?” Old Master Zhang proposed to Zhang Zhentian. He thought this was the only way to achieve fairness, but in Zhang Zhentian’s eyes, it was different.

”Dad, you know very well that he bears a grudge against me, and you also know how much resentment he has for me after I abandoned him for so many years. What you’re doing is effectively cutting off all my paths of retreat. If you really want me to never come back for a lifetime, you could just say it directly, don’t let my son bear this black pot for your decision, okay?”

Old Master Zhang didn’t realize that this was the image he had in Zhang Zhentian’s mind, thinking that he was making his grandson take the fall for his decision. He had never done such a thing before, so why would Zhang Zhentian think he was making Zhang Yichen take the blame? Could there be some misunderstanding in between?

”I have said as much as I can. If you agree, I will call him right now to bring him back. If you disagree, then get out now and never come back for the rest of your life. You’re not allowed to see your son again, and I will permanently remove you from the Zhang Family’s genealogy...”

Zhang Zhentian heard his father say such words to him, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to breathe. Although he intended to defy his father’s wishes, was reluctant to leave the family, and didn’t want his son to make decisions for his life, he never considered that his father would permanently remove him from the Zhang Family’s genealogy. That would make him a person without a family or a name, and his name might even be revoked in the police system. It would be a very troublesome matter. No, he couldn’t allow that to happen, even if it meant paying a price, or if his path was no longer in his own hands. He could only take a gamble.

”In that case, call Yichen back then! Let him return and make the decision for me. Whatever decision he makes, I will obey. Are you satisfied?”

”Alright, that’s what you said. Don’t forget today you said these words. Since that’s the case, I will call him right now to bring him back, and then everything depends on whether he lets you stay here or kicks you out. Whatever decision he makes, you should not hold any resentment against him, nor take any measures against him or his girlfriend. Otherwise, even if he doesn’t take action against you, as his father, I definitely won’t let you go.”

Old Master Zhang called his grandson and told him to come back immediately. When Zhang Yichen received the call from his grandfather, he was a bit baffled. What events were causing his grandfather to urgently call him back home? Had his mother done something to upset his grandfather again? He could only put down his work and drove back home immediately.

”Grandfather, what could be so urgent that you needed me back in such a hurry? Is something wrong?” Zhang Yichen asked.

”Nothing’s wrong, grandson. Grandpa just wants you to come back to make a decision. Your father made a mistake, and Grandpa decided he needs to be punished. But Grandpa has given you the final decision. Whether to let your father leave this family, or let him stay, it’s all up to you. If you decide he stays, he can continue living here with you. If you decide not to let him stay, from today onwards, he will no longer be part of the Zhang Family and will never be allowed to set foot in the Zhang Family’s door again. He also won’t be allowed to tell others outside that he’s Zhang Mo’s son!”
