My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1337: Chapter 1166: Irony

”Life is always so unsatisfactory, I really don’t know when I can find my beloved person again.”

Old Master Zhang now understands that no matter what he says, it’s useless. He can only hope his son will return home to spend quality time with his grandson. Otherwise, if things continue the way they’re heading, the relationship between father and son will really be doomed. He doesn’t want to see such a conclusion; as an elder, he just wants to see family harmony, so his heart can be comforted.

She doesn’t want to reach the day she steps into the coffin, with her son still in conflict with his grandson. The pain in her heart would be immense. As an elder, she just wants her later years to be peaceful and not be troubled by these matters repeatedly. That, for her, would be the greatest happiness and filial piety.

”Alright, let’s not say anything for now. You should seriously consider what decision to make. If you truly continue like this, your heart will increasingly suffer. Grandpa really doesn’t want to see you in unbearable pain. You know how much Grandpa cares about you, his grandson. For you, Grandpa would do anything just to see you happy and joyful. Leaving with your parents was my mistake, but do you know?

If your parents had not left at that time, this home would have no authority. If that were the case, why would he continue to avoid coming home?

The situation today is not just the fault of your parents. Grandpa is also responsible. If you really want to hate your parents, then include Grandpa in the blame as well. Grandpa knows his actions have inflicted unmentionable and indelible harm on you, causing you to endure the painful trash. Grandpa has no way to make up for it this lifetime. But Grandpa sincerely hopes you can live a happy and cheerful life. To an old fool like me, that is life’s greatest comfort. My entire life has no grand aspirations or desires; I only hope the people I care about will live a peaceful and happy life, and that is enough for me.

The mistakes I made should be my responsibility to bear. If I hadn’t been so headstrong back then, your parents wouldn’t have abandoned you, their own child, to wander outside all these years with no courage to return home. The root of all this, all these outcomes, stems from me being too decisive and disrespectful of others’ inner thoughts!

What grandpa says now cannot heal your inner wounds, but he hopes you understand that past mistakes always come with an equal price. You once drove out your parents and Grandpa has already suffered all the consequences. Grandpa is severely ill, cannot be vibrant like before. Grandpa knows that one day he will leave here, one day he won’t be able to be with you, but grandpa really hopes you can see that if he is truly gone someday, but you are still able to live happily and joyfully, wouldn’t that be a cause for happiness for grandpa?”

...

Zhang Yichen knows that the words he just spoke hurt his grandpa. He feels a bit awkward and a bit guilty. She doesn’t know how to explain these matters to her grandpa, yet her heart remains in pain. Some things she never intended to do, but inadvertently spoke the most hurtful words. He realizes that apologizing now is useless, and it’s better to let his grandpa send him off happily, without enduring any more blows. Perhaps this is the only thing he can do now. If he can achieve this, how joyful and happy his heart would be.

”Grandpa, I don’t want to say anything now. I don’t hate you, no matter what you’ve done in the past. I won’t blame you because you have brought me to where I am today. You’ve always taken care of my upbringing. For an elder like you, this might have been the greatest hardship, but I have no way around this, you know? I can’t bear to watch my family repeatedly abandon me, not caring or even turning back. It feels like an inner pain for me, something I’ve contemplated many times.”
