My Alleged Husband

Chapter 2087: Chapter 1920: Between the Fingers

Is it that saying ”love” is always too heavy, used too much it becomes numb, finally frozen with no beginning and no end!

”Who told you I’m afraid to divorce your son? Divorce then, who’s afraid of whom? Honestly, do you really think that without your son, I can’t live on? Don’t forget, I’m now a student studying abroad too. What can’t I do? I have my own career, and I can still live the life I want. Must I cling to your son all my life to find my own happiness?”

”Oh, now you’re shamelessly shouting here. Not sure who just admitted at home that they’re too poor to even afford studying abroad without their husband’s family’s money. Now you’re here in Shijiazhuang with your husband’s biological father, acting all arrogant. Some people really have thick skin; after doing so many good deeds, no one notices. Who knows if they’re sneaking around with other men behind our backs!”

”Dad, do you really have to use such harsh words? What do you mean by sneaking around with other men? Can you say something nice? I’ve never thought about being with anyone else since being with your son. How can you say that? You’re seriously insulting my character. Do you know that speaking like this is illegal? I could take you to court.”

”Then go ahead! Do you think I’m afraid of you? You and I both know what you’ve done. You say you’ve never thought of being with anyone else since being with my son; who wouldn’t say that? My son is rich, the economic emperor of the world, who wouldn’t want to be with him? Unlike some people, poor for life, just local thugs and hooligans. I don’t know what was wrong with my son to fancy a woman like you. What methods did you use to climb up by ensnaring my son? It’s really sad for those wealthy daughters who are kind, beautiful, and graceful. Unlike you, with a stout figure and a barrel waist!”

Ran Zhihan was at a loss for words.

Zhang Zhentian knew his words were getting more and more excessive, but he felt he had no choice. He knew if he didn’t assert himself as a father now, his daughter-in-law would eventually walk all over him. This daughter-in-law was becoming more defiant, not respecting him as an elder at all. He feared what she might say or do to him in the future, so he couldn’t let such a thing happen. He hadn’t realized this woman could be so cunning. Regardless of whether she was with his son for money or not, they’ve been together for many years now, and they even have a child. He knew his words were indeed quite hurtful. But sometimes, thinking the other way around, how many people really treat others with empathy? How many genuinely open their hearts to others? Everyone approaches things with motives or schemes. Often, he didn’t know what to do himself. He’s numb now; to get along peacefully with his daughter-in-law, his son wouldn’t let him return home. Maybe this confrontation would lead his son to agree to let him come home, who knows?

”There’s no need for you to speak about me like that. By doing so, you’re belittling your own son. I’m the wife your son insists on being with. How does this place your own son? Aren’t you indirectly criticizing your own son’s judgment in choosing a wife? Deep down you hate your son because he won’t let you return home, so every word you say is sour. Have you ever thought about why anyone should unconditionally let you return after the things you’ve done? Should others just accept to be abandoned over and over again? They’d only feel resigned after being discarded?” Ran Zhihan said to Zhang Zhentian, ”No matter how you speak of me today, I still regard you as my father because you’re my husband’s father. I can’t speak out of line with you. I admit, earlier my words to you were a bit excessive, but I had no choice. Your words hurt me more. I’ve been with your son so many years, doesn’t your son know what kind of person I am? As a father-in-law, don’t you know? Even if no one knows me, my conscience is clear. I remember clearly every single thing I’ve done. I haven’t done anything to betray your son, and I certainly won’t admit to things I haven’t done. Claiming so would not only harm my relationship with your son but create barriers between us. Often, there’s no need to struggle to prove oneself, maybe that doesn’t offer any benefit. When the time is right, everything will naturally fall into place. Why become sad over unpleasant things, causing others sadness and heartache? Everyone has their own life. Everyone’s pursuits differ. Don’t abandon your life and goals because of some people. That’s blindly following. Eventually, others may not regard you as significant. Don’t worry, I’ll never share what you said today with others. Rest assured, if one day you understand what I’m saying to you today, it will all be worthwhile, even if you scold me today as a poor girl! While I may be poor, my ambitions are not. I will always stand with my parents. If you dislike me for being poor and want to go home, I can part ways with your son. It’s not about fear, but a genuine hope for your family reunion. If your family is reunited, I’ll be happy. I’m not rebellious or exceedingly wicked. All I’ve done is hope those I love and care about can be with me, even if we spend each day doing nothing; as long as we’re happy, isn’t that enough?”

Those who are favored always act unabashedly, thinking that person won’t leave, but when disappointment accumulates, they leave!
