Chapter 1110 - 961: Different Lives
"Dad, Mom, perhaps you never knew how much my uncle sacrificed when you two were arguing. He once thought that as long as your relationship could be harmonious, it didn’t matter to him how much grievance he had to endure. But I couldn’t just ignore it. I couldn’t just watch him and pretend to be all-powerful. I really couldn’t do it. I once thought, if one day I could do it, to treat you the way I want, how great that would be. Do you know what my uncle did during the time you were arguing? He did a lot to persuade you, but you never really considered him, yet he was constantly worrying about you both."
"You might be curious why I remember everything my uncle did so clearly. It’s because I know everything he meant to me. He never talked to you about it because he was afraid that saying it would only increase your troubles and conflicts, making him feel a deep sense of guilt towards you."
"During that time, my aunt advised him not to interfere in your matters, but he couldn’t help it. He didn’t want conflicts to arise between you two. In the end, he chose to abandon everything. Have you ever thought about why he did it? It’s because he believes that my dad truly loves my mom and can do anything for her, even risk his life!"
Xiao Wei eventually couldn’t resist calling his brother-in-law. He felt that no matter what, he should ask Zhang Zhentian to clarify this matter. He wanted him to give a perfect answer. Otherwise, how could he rest assured leaving his sister with him under the same roof?
"Xiao Wei? What made you think of calling your brother-in-law today? Do you have something you need to talk to him about, or is there a reason you suddenly thought of calling to check in?"
"Are you looking for your sister for something? She’s not here right now; she’s too busy and went out. If you have anything to say to her, you can tell me, and I’ll convey it to her."
"Brother-in-law, originally, I shouldn’t be calling you to ask about this. I just want the most complete answer. I want you to honestly tell me if you truly love my sister. Because I’ll soon be going back to the United States. If you really love my sister, I will let her stay by your side and continue living with you. But if you don’t love her, leaving her here would just harm her."
"I believe, deep down, you understand that some things can’t be easily brushed aside as if they never happened. Your father might feel satisfied with you back in this home, but if one day you make a mistake again, would you be kicked out once more?"
"Can you really guarantee my sister a stable home? Can you truly assure me that no matter what happens, you won’t be kicked out again?"
"Or do you think sometimes being kicked out is something glorious? That being kicked out means you can roam and wander freely, but you forget that what a woman needs most is not how capable her man is, but the desire for him to provide a happy home. Over the years, what have you really given my sister? Your heart knows better than anyone!"
"I believe that by coming here today to ask you these things, you also understand it. After all, she is my sister. You know we’ve been dependent on each other for so many years, working hard to get by. It hasn’t been easy. But ever since she met you, she was smitten at first sight. What did you treat her as when you were together? Made her feel homeless, made everyone resent her over and over."
"Brother-in-law, I hope you won’t tell my sister about what I said today. If she knew, it would only make her feel more troubled. Our job is solely to make her happy, right? After all, she is the most important to us, isn’t she?"
Zhang Zhentian knows all too well what consequences his actions have brought to his wife over the years. Even if she never uttered a word, how could he not feel how much she longs to return home, to be with her child? He knows better than anyone.
But he still made her wander outside with him all these years. She has constantly missed her child, yet everything has been the pain and hurt he brought to her. No one understands the depth of this sense of guilt.
"Xiao Wei, I know you care deeply for your sister. But regardless of what you said today, do you really think I should keep it from your sister? I also don’t want to disrupt things between you. I don’t want any secrets between me and my wife. We should be honest with each other, right?"
"You know more than anyone that if I were harsh towards your sister, the pain in her heart would be immense when she learns the result. She would only think I don’t love her, which is why I hide things!"
"I won’t be embarrassed to say it; I have to admit that deep down, I truly love your sister. Regardless of the time, I still feel I love her very much."
"My love for your sister won’t waver due to any circumstance or change because of anyone’s words. I just want to prove with my actions that I genuinely love her, sincerely want to be with her. No matter who tries to stop us from being together, nothing can change my deep affection for her."
"Xiao Wei, sometimes matters of the heart you understand better than I do. Loving someone means you would go to any length to protect her, stay by her side, no matter how much she’s hurt you, you still love her, unwavering. That’s true love, and I love your sister even beyond that. If she’s unhappy here, feels wronged, I’d take her far away, never to return to this painful place, even if it means leaving my father, my son, my family behind!"
"Perhaps you all think leaving years ago was my fault, that I shouldn’t have taken her away. But have you considered it was her idea to leave after giving birth? She didn’t want to stay here anymore. She wanted to leave, and that’s why I took her and left decisively. In the end, why is everything blamed on me? To protect her, I chose to shoulder all the guilt. I want everyone to know my love for her is genuine, regardless of her mistakes. I’d rather all blame be on me than let her suffer any harm!"
"But what has resulted from my actions? Only your repeated doubts about me. You never truly believe that I genuinely love her. To you, everything I do is just a show. But do you know how much I care about her feelings? For her, I’ve given up so much."
"You’ve called today to ask about this matter because you genuinely want to help your sister, because you care for her. I won’t blame you for this, nor will I tell your sister. But can we promise never to doubt each other again in the future? We’re family. No matter when or where, I will prioritize your sister’s well-being, protect her from any harm. That’s the happiness a man should provide!"
