My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1377: Chapter 1199: Even If Apologies Are Made (Part 2)

”Since you all clearly know in your hearts that your father cannot bear for me to face any grievance, what would he think if you all attack me together like this? How could he rest assured while receiving treatment? If he knew, he would have wanted to take me away from here immediately and never come back. You all know how strong-willed he is, don’t you?”

Ran Zhihan didn’t really mean it that way. He just wanted his mother to know that even if his father is lying inside now, they should still be standing outside hoping for a miracle. As long as there’s hope, maybe a miracle will really happen to them. If in these years, there’s not even a hopeful mindset, how could they even expect to be saved by a miracle?

”Mom, how can you say that about Zhihan?

You clearly know he’s concerned about you, that’s why he said so. Since he’s showing his concern, why can’t you understand him? Must you use such a tone to speak to him? Is it wrong for him to care about you? He is a part of this family, and he has worked hard these years to take care of all of us. Shouldn’t he be allowed to care?

I really hope that you two don’t argue anymore over anything. Things are already a mess; the house has turned into chaos, creating a total upheaval. If you start arguing here, I really don’t know what I would do next!

I’ve said I can forgive your mistakes, but that doesn’t mean you can keep hurting my family repeatedly. I still can’t disregard that she’s my wife, who has been through thick and thin with me for so many years, painstakingly giving birth to a son to inherit the Zhang Family name. She’s suffered tremendously because of you. If he’s doing this over and over again, don’t you have any awareness about it? Why is he doing this, can’t you really see?

Every time you do something, can’t you first reflect if what you’re doing is right or wrong? Where are you putting each of us with your actions? Do you know how passive you’re making each of us? We’re humans, not gods. We really can’t keep forgiving all mistakes endlessly. Not saying something doesn’t mean we don’t know; we choose silence. If we really speak out, it would only ruin the relationship between us, destroying the harmony that could have existed. We truly don’t want such things to happen.”

”Yichen, I really didn’t mean to attack him. I only wanted to point out whether she can stay out of it, as it is between your father and me. As a daughter-in-law, it’s inappropriate to interfere in the matters between her parents-in-law, right? Even if she wants to intervene, shouldn’t it be private? Why talk about our family matters in public? Does she really want our matters to become public, exposing us to outside judgment?”

Xiao Wei knew his sister didn’t mean it that way, and he understood those words were meant to suppress the issue. He didn’t want his husband to face any public criticism, like raindrops in the puddle; he simply didn’t care because everything was his doing. So why should he care about a reputation that wasn’t deserved?

But his husband couldn’t handle it. He was already dragged down and now ended up like this, lying here. So what reason did he have now to let her suffer public judgment along with him? Wouldn’t that damage his reputation even more? Such a thing could not be allowed to happen.

”Yichen, how can you speak to your mother like that? Isn’t it your uncle speaking up, advising your mother as well, for your wife’s sake? Discussing family matters publicly isn’t appropriate, after all. Isn’t family supposed to stay at home and discuss? Making it public is like disregarding your parents’ reputation. You should think carefully about why your mother is so angry!”

Zhang Yichen is really angry now. He simply can’t listen to any of his own explanations. He feels everything his mother is doing is hypocritical. He only wants to set things right for his wife.

”Uncle, now it doesn’t matter what you say, I’m simply not going to believe it. It doesn’t matter what reasons you use to fool me, I won’t believe it. Whatever he says, I’m even less likely to believe it. I didn’t expect that even now he still doesn’t repent after doing this, and now he’s here trying to justify things. Is there any point in that?”

”Child, you really shouldn’t say that. Your mother, when you speak of her like that, really feels hurt inside. When things are already in the past, why do you keep bringing it up repeatedly? Do you think that’s fair to everyone? Should they repeatedly have to face such judgment?

I know you are attacking your mother to justify your wife, but is it right to attack your mother to justify your wife as a man? A man should stand tall and think about how to protect his family, his wife, and his parents, keeping them from harm. What you’re doing is harming your parents to protect your wife. Do you think that’s right?

You’ve read so many books about mathematics. Do you not understand these basic principles? By hurting your parents, where are you placing them, and how do you think they feel deep inside? Have you ever considered that?

Your parents have raised you with great difficulty, so stop repeatedly choosing to attack your parents in this way. One day, your parents will definitely leave you. If you really drive your parents away, do you think you will live peacefully? Wouldn’t your conscience be troubled for driving your mother out, having your father stay in hospital due to your actions, unable to wake again? How would that sound when it spreads? People will only say you love beauty and not your heritage, not even your own parents!”

Xiao Wei knew he had said too much earlier, but he had no choice. He really didn’t want such things to happen to his sister again.

He knew his sister was very fragile now, unable to handle any blow. If things kept happening repeatedly, he feared his sister might do something extreme, which he didn’t want to happen.

Do not easily hurt those who love you. Some people are not worth it for you to do so much!
