My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1188 - 1029: Never Listened to Explanations, Never Gave a Chance (Part 3)

"You didn’t attempt to understand your parents, you decisively made all the decisions for him, deciding all the paths and life for him."

Xia Jing was running on the road when she suddenly stopped. She realized that aimlessly searching like this was not a solution, so she filtered all the possible places Zhang Zhentian might go in her mind: At this hour, Zhentian wouldn’t possibly go to the lakeside, nor would he seek out Li Jiayuan, much less be at the places we often go to. With his mood so low today, he should be at the bar drowning his sorrows.

Xia Jing felt very clever, using the simplest method of elimination to rule out all the places Zhang Zhentian might go. She believed she still understood Zhang Zhentian well. Xia Jing knew roughly where he might be, which made the search much easier. She ran for a while until she couldn’t run anymore, so she hailed a taxi by the roadside. She asked the driver to drive as fast as possible. This driver looked like he was in his fifties or sixties, with a kind face, very honest and trustworthy!

Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of the nearest bar to Xia Jing’s House. Xia Jing immediately gave the driver A Hundred Yuan. As the driver prepared to return the change, she opened the door and dashed into the bar.

Xia Jing searched the bar round and round, but she couldn’t find Zhang Zhentian anywhere. She asked at the counter and called Zhang Zhentian’s phone, but to no avail. Xia Jing left the bar, ready to search the next one. As she walked out, she saw the driver still waiting at the entrance, not having left. Xia Jing got back into the driver’s car, and seeing her like this, the driver playfully started talking to her.

"Hey, Miss, what’s wrong? Not in a good mood?" the driver asked Xia Jing.

Xia Jing didn’t know how to respond to the driver. She felt quite troubled inside. From the experiences she shared with Zhang Zhentian, she gradually realized that although Zhang Zhentian truly didn’t understand her, he genuinely loved her...

Seeing that Xia Jing didn’t answer, the driver kindly asked, "Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"

The moment those words were spoken, Xia Jing was stunned. She turned to look at the driver, who glanced at her and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

Xia Jing quickly responded, "No, no, you didn’t say anything wrong, Uncle. How did you figure out that I had a fight with my boyfriend?"

Xia Jing waited for the driver’s reply, gazing at him intently.

"Well, it’s not that hard to see. Any observant person would notice. You were running on the road until you got tired, then took the taxi. Upon reaching your destination, without saying anything, you handed over A Hundred Yuan and dashed into the bar. You must have fought with your boyfriend and are searching for him, am I right?" The driver glanced at Xia Jing with a half-smile.

With the driver having spelled it out so clearly, Xia Jing decided not to hide from him any longer. She began to reveal her worries and thoughts to him.

"Uncle, to be honest, I don’t know where to start to tell you. Since you’ve already seen it so clearly, let me share what’s on my mind! Did you know I met my boyfriend abroad? I used to think he was a very responsible person. At that time, I didn’t expect we would reach the point of discussing marriage. I once thought he would find another girl and abandon me; I never imagined this day would become a reality. He was set up by another woman, but he didn’t give up on me. And because of this, he couldn’t fulfill the responsibilities a man should have towards that girl. Later, the girl kept seeking my boyfriend out, and every time she did, I would somehow find out. Uncle, do you know what kind of feeling I had back then? From the first day I was with him, I was very happy. Back then, I felt nothing was happier than being with him. Gradually, we got closer, he took me home, and I met his father. I thought his father would approve of us, but unexpectedly, his father outright disagreed and even forbade us from being together. I made efforts, and gradually his father accepted me, but he became someone I didn’t recognize. From the beginning of being with him, I anticipated many difficulties, but I never imagined he would curse me, and degrade me to be worthless. Uncle, I’m telling you, my feelings for him started to fade when he cursed me to be worthless. Until these things happened today, I was even angrier. I told him that if I found out he was still in touch with that woman, I would leave him. But he still contacted that woman. I was very angry at the time; later his father called to explain the situation to me, and only then did I realize it was actually my misunderstanding. So..."
