My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1231: Chapter 1060: Everyone Has Dreams

Do you have dreams?

Yes!

Because everyone has dreams, and everyone can put in a certain amount of effort due to their own decisions. As long as you work hard, you will surely have a reward.

The family finished their meal here happily. They never thought that this day would come so soon, nor did they think this day would be so heartwarming. They always believed that in this lifetime, they would never have the opportunity to have a reunion meal with their family. But when this day arrived, they could hardly believe that these were their family members. They once made so many mistakes and hurt them time and time again, yet they were forgiven without bearing any grudge. They even allowed themselves to sit here and have breakfast at the same table with them. For them, this happiness came so suddenly.

”Dad, do you know how long I’ve waited for this day? I never thought this day would come so quickly. When this day came, I could hardly believe it was a reality. Even now, I feel like this is just a dream because I dreamed of such a scene countless times. Now that it has really happened to me, I can hardly believe it.

I used to do many things that let this family down, and I paid a heavy price for those things. Over these years, though I was outside, you knew I wasn’t happy. When you heard me talk about my experiences, deep down you didn’t feel good either. Regardless of how cruel I was to you, no matter how much I hurt you, you never blamed me deep down, because I’m your family!”

Zhang Zhentian was right. No matter what, his father would never blame him. How could a father bear to blame his own child? He only wanted his child to live a healthy and happy life. At the very least, his child could live happily in this world. To a father, isn’t that the greatest consolation?

In fact, Old Master Zhang felt the worst deep down because he selfishly drove his son out of the house. This made his son experience so much hardship and suffering over the years. As a father, how could his heart not be moved at all? He couldn’t show it because he’s the family’s pillar. No matter where or when, he had to appear calm, or else the family would have been broken into by others long ago.

Zhang Yichen understood Old Master Zhang the most. He knew what kind of thoughts his grandfather harbored deep down. He also knew that, although his grandfather appeared calm on the surface, he was turbulent inside.

He knew that all the evidence his grandfather showed was a disguise, preventing others from easily seeing what was on his mind. Otherwise, this family would be too difficult to maintain. Haven’t many already disliked this family of ours? The reason they hadn’t taken it down all these years was because his grandfather, this rear guard, was here.

No one dared to act rashly in front of Old Master Zhang because they knew he always spoke decisively and acted with ruthless determination. For this reason, although so many people were unhappy with the Zhang Family, they never showed it. How could they, especially now that there’s a peerless genius?

”Grandpa, now that dad is back, let’s not pursue the past anymore. Let us live peacefully and happily every day. Dwelling on the past only brings us sadness. The past should have turned to ashes with the time that has passed. Why cling tightly to old matters, making others unhappy and ourselves unhappy? Don’t we all want happiness for everyone?”

”Child, you’re right. Every word you said, deep down, Grandpa knows is correct because I watched you grow up with my own eyes. I raised you myself. Grandpa knows everything you do. Even if the whole world doesn’t understand you and your actions, Grandpa understands. Grandpa believes your actions are for the benefit of this family. Everything you do is only to ensure your family can live happily. You never wanted your family to suffer any harm. You’d rather endure grievances yourself to let your grandpa live blissfully!

Did you really think I didn’t know about your efforts? When the company was once in trouble, you alone held it up and didn’t tell anyone because you didn’t want anyone to come forward to help. You wanted to prove your strength. You wanted the company’s elders to know that as long as you were there, the company would never collapse or go bankrupt. You faced enormous financial gaps repeatedly relying solely on your personal connections. The network you built helped you because they believed you to be the strongest person alive. For the company, for this family, you gave up everything you wanted, gave up your dreams. Grandpa knows from the beginning that your dream was never here. Your dreams were broader and further, yet you gave them up because of Grandpa and parts of this family!

I’ve long forgotten what my dreams were. I never thought about what kind of life I would experience in this lifetime.

I always wanted to ask you, having given up your dreams, do you regret it? Just to prove to your parents that you were right, that you were the strongest, to let them know that abandoning you was a mistake, to the point that you could give up your most desired goal, your heart truly has no regrets?”

Zhang Zhentian and Xia Jing were shocked hearing Old Master Zhang say these words. They never thought their son had dreams and that being an entrepreneur was not his dream. Ironically, because of what they did, their son gave up the goal he most wanted to achieve, his most important ideal. They wondered if as parents they were becoming more and more incompetent. Why was everything they did wrong? How could they ever compensate their child for all these years of grievance? How could they make up for the regret left in their child’s heart?

”Grandpa, I never regretted any decision I made, regardless of whether my heart harbors regrets. I will not blame anyone. This is my own choice, and I must walk this road to the end!”

Everyone must walk their own path. Others may accompany you in life, but they cannot walk it with you.
