My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1227 - 1057: No Quarreling

"Actually, every person encounters some ups and downs in life, spends each day amidst quarrels. If one’s lifetime were to pass by smoothly, they would never know what kind of path they’ve trodden."

Although Zhang Zhentian had long known that his son cared about his father, he never imagined that, despite caring to this extent, his son would not even regard him, his own biological father. In his son’s eyes, what exactly does he, a father, count for? Is he really that worthless in his eyes? Are the mistakes he made truly so unforgivable? He genuinely knows he was wrong. Having made so many mistakes, he reflects on himself time and again deep in his heart, but he never contemplated how he should bear these responsibilities.

The repeated mistakes he made have ultimately hurt everyone with him. Is what he has done really that unforgivable? What he wants is very simple, yet he has never achieved the outcome he most desires in his entire life. Instead, he has been hurt again and again, bringing sadness to his family.

"I’m not unaware of all the hurt you once caused, but I’ve chosen to remain silent. I just wanted to ensure there would be no more quarrels between us, to avoid disputes over past unhappy matters. Yet, what has your final outcome given me but repeated agitation?"

"Yichen, can you tell Dad, in your heart, what am I as a father? Can you casually yell at me? Have you never regarded me as your father? Do you know how hurtful the words you said today are? I’ve been sincere towards you; I don’t ask for much. You are my son, and no matter what, I only want my child to be happy and safe. But what has all my actions been for? Can I not even get the most basic appreciation from you? I don’t ask for much, but you? Why do you repeatedly suspect that I, as your father, harbor ill will upon returning home?

Have I asked you for any unreasonable demands upon returning to this family? Have I demanded any family possessions or property and asked you to apologize to me? I have sincerely wanted to return to this family, and I’ve let go of all my dignity to kneel before you. You are my son, I’ve knelt, what more do you want from me?

I know one should think thrice before acting, but what benefit does it serve you to press me so hard in this way? You’ve pushed this family member to the brink of despair. Won’t you feel any remorse deep in your hearts, truly not be sad, not be in pain? As family, repeatedly forcing each other into difficult situations hurts deeply inside, doesn’t it? As for me, how could I not be heartbroken when you continually challenge me and shut me out? I’m not a Saint, I cannot remain indifferent to the wounds inflicted by my family and still greet you cheerfully; I simply cannot do that.

You’ve read so much, you should know that to be human is to be emotional, not a plant. Is what I’ve done really of no benefit in your eyes? On the contrary, I’ve brought you so much pain and hurt. I truly don’t understand what I should do to win genuine recognition from you, my son, from deep within and to truly be seen as family, without you pushing me away time and again.

What I said to your grandpa today wasn’t excessive. All I want is a stable life, is that considered bullying him? What does your accusation of bullying even mean? I don’t understand!"

Zhang Yichen didn’t want to say so many words to his father, whether his father truly understood or not, but no matter what, he just couldn’t bully Old Master Zhang. Bullying his grandpa was even more unbearable than bullying himself. If his father bullied him, he could pretend it was nothing because he was his son and could be casually scolded and hit, but not grandpa. Grandpa is his father, moreover, grandpa is the benefactor who painstakingly raised him.
