My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1095 - 946: So You Really Know Everything

"You all think that I’ve forgotten every word you said and everything you did, but I haven’t—especially that one day, every word my mom said to my dad, I remember every word my dad said to my mom, and I heard it all. Everything the two of you did, said, and thought is crystal clear to me. I’ve never shared these deep thoughts with anyone because I know there’s no use in saying them out loud. I’d rather bury them deep inside myself, where they can never be dug out again, but only be thought of over and over. But wouldn’t such things still happen?"

"Honey, although you feel that what I’m saying makes sense, shouldn’t you forgive your parents and stop arguing with them? Living with such pain in your heart is unbearable. I don’t want to see you suffer like that. You’re the man I love the most in this life, how can I bear to see you live in such agony all alone? But as your wife, how can my heart be at ease? Ask if others care about your feelings, but as your wife, I definitely care deeply about each and every feeling in your heart. How could I not know how painful your heart is? I truly don’t want much. I just want you to live peacefully. Though we might accept different decisions and lives in this lifetime, we must always hold each other’s hand and never part. If you think what I say makes sense, then forgive them. After all, they are our parents. If because of us, they can never come back to their home, our hearts would be filled with such guilt and evil. Even making our parents unable to return home and shutting them out—that’s not something you or I would do, is it? We can’t let others seize this handle to mock us. We should generously forgive those who hurt us and abandoned us, as that is truly the best way to make others’ hearts suffer even more, isn’t it?"

"Sure, they think the person they hurt would never forgive them, but they never expect that the person they hurt so deeply would eventually easily choose to forgive them, making their hearts filled with guilt. They’ll definitely think all of this was just because they made a wrong decision back then—why hurt such a good person like this? How could they bear to hurt someone so nice? As long as we make this decision, they’ll never have any other way to hurt us again. Isn’t it better just to live the life we should, instead of complicating things and causing so much anguish in our hearts repeatedly?"

Zhang Yichen didn’t know how to respond to his wife’s words. He knew very well that what she said was incredibly rational, every word speaking directly to his heart. Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to forgive his parents. If he truly knocked down all those walls, wouldn’t he be too spineless? If forgiving them so easily means they might hurt him again like they did in the past, how could he manage that risk? Why should he choose to forgive them if it only allows them to keep hurting him? Isn’t it better to set a standard to make them remember the serious consequences of abandoning him, showing how costly it can be, which might make them behave themselves better?"

"Dear, I know what you’re thinking, but I hope you’ll realize not everything done according to your thoughts is correct. One day you’ll understand that some things need to be considered carefully. Our parents once shut us out too, so now they might mock us if they think we don’t even have the basic capacity to forgive. Doesn’t it say that a person who can accommodate is truly great? Why expose these things then?"

Mistakes made by one’s parents should never fall upon oneself, because the burden on my heart is too heavy. You have a way to allow each opportunity to forgive them, trying to have them stay by your side and care for you. If you truly feel uncomfortable or they don’t show sincerity, then driving them out isn’t too late. But denying them even a chance now, simply shutting them out, is truly unreasonable. You’re an educated person; knowing that our upbringings differ, why present others with an opportunity to mock us?"

Honey, you know Grandpa is concerned about his dignity. His face is in his grandson, and he gave up Jin Guang for it. Shouldn’t you dress your so-called pride properly for him? If others knew, they would definitely mock Grandpa, saying Grandpa taught Sun Wufang. Would you really bear to have others curse you behind your back? You see your Grandpa sacrificing for you repeatedly, yet you’re unwilling to give him any return? Could you bear to see your Grandpa suffering in agony because of you? Indeed, you’d never want to see such a result, but you don’t know how to resolve it yourself. I’ve given you all the methods—what you do is up to your own heart. If you truly wish to abandon your Grandpa and let him be disgraced, then ignore everything I’ve said as if it wasn’t spoken. He’s Grandpa, hoping you think carefully, because the decision you make now, no matter the outcome, must be carried through to the end. Others won’t offer you any chances to turn back or any opportunities to repay wrongs. Whatever you might have done wrong, you must think through it thoroughly, and only then can you go far!"

Zhang Yichen was truly conflicted and tormented now, unsure of the decision to make. Hating his parents was impossible, yet it seemed that only if he acted magnanimously during this time would everyone understand what kind of parental figure he had. Why make others pay such a heavy price, letting them think that everything was deserved?"

"Alright, this time I’ll listen to you. I choose to forgive my parents, but I hope they promise me never again to easily abandon me like they did before. I can’t bear their repeated harm. I’m just an ordinary person. If they abandon me again, I’ll never have another chance to let them back in, because I just can’t..."

"I really didn’t expect you to remember every word I’ve said to your father so clearly, so precisely.

I’m genuinely curious how your brain works, making every word in your head so vivid. Have you ever considered what consequences your actions might lead to?"
