My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1264 - 1093: Pain

The painful life is so arduous, who ever thought about how they made it through, my life is just so difficult, but I have no way to live peacefully.

I really didn’t expect you to be such a vengeful person. Had I known you were so vindictive, I would never have let you marry my son. Letting you marry my son, you made my son become someone who doesn’t recognize his own family, I really don’t understand, is he still my son? So cold-hearted and ruthless, not considering me, his father, at all when doing things. He is no longer the son he used to be, and all of this happened because of your arrival, making everything out of control. I really don’t understand why you had to appear in our family’s life. Do you feel comfortable inside doing this? Don’t you think what you did was excessive and made things difficult for us? Everything you did put us in a very tough situation.

"Dad, from what you said, are you now blaming me for making your son what he is today? Have you ever thought about why he became like this? He has struggled step by step, every step is so exhausting because he’s afraid of being abandoned again by those he cares about. He’s also a human being, he knows how much pain he holds inside, he’s not a puppet, he has a soul and thoughts. Every word he said, he remembers, everything he did, he’s clear about whether he should have done it or not."

"But now he doesn’t even acknowledge me as his biological father, and that’s not related to you? He wouldn’t have been so unrecognizing of his kin before, but now he’s become like this. Who do you think he learned this from? Is it still my father who educated a child like this? Is it that you want to push all the responsibility onto your grandfather? Many times you have to own up to what you’ve done, why keep denying it, thinking that others will believe every word I say is true?"

Ran Zhihan never thought her own father would say such things to her. It turned out, everything was not as simple as she imagined. She initially planned to verbally reject him, then help him secretly, so her husband wouldn’t find out, keeping the peace in the marriage. Now she understood there was no benefit in doing so. No matter how she tried to help her father, in his eyes, she was always a woman who corrupted his son unscrupulously. She would never understand her own pain. Clearly, when you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog, since marrying him, you must comply with him, obey him, not walk against him, letting others see through him. Isn’t it?

"Dad, say what you want about this matter. No matter what you say, I’ll stick to the fact; marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Since I married your son, I will obey and support his every decision, I can’t oppose him. If I did, we wouldn’t be husband and wife, we would be like enemies. Do you know that opposing each other means being enemies, only enemies oppose each other, growing further apart with no way back. I don’t want that kind of relationship with my husband; it would exhaust me. He is the man I love so deeply, how can I let my decision waste everything he’s devoted to me?"

"But when you did these things, were you really at peace with your conscience? Don’t you think you’ve hurt not just myself, but those family members who love and expect to live with us? I know that when you did these things, you thought about your husband, your grandfather. But have you ever considered that her mom and I also want to be with you?"

"No matter what you say to me, in everything I’ve done before, every decision, every effort I’ve made I am at peace with. I genuinely want to live with my family because their presence makes my life more perfect and fulfilling. It’s because of them that I could step by step become who I am today. They gave me this opportunity, made me realize that true feelings do exist in this world."

"Are you really at peace with yourself? Did you think your husband wouldn’t feel heartbroken? That your grandfather wouldn’t feel sad? You are just as selfish, fearing our return will bring arguments. You’re afraid that I would come back, isn’t your heart just as selfish? When have you considered how others feel? Don’t always think that your heart is any lesser than mine or your mother’s!" Zhang Zhentian felt a surge of anger knowing that his daughter-in-law was unwilling to help him. He blurted out whatever came to mind before realizing it. Why is that sometimes he doesn’t even know what he truly wants? He can only rely on her step by step to walk his own path, never seriously thinking about the consequences of his actions.

"Even if I am selfish, I am nothing compared to you and mom. Did you really ever consider how much pain your decisions caused us? Actually, you are the truly selfish people in the world, abandoning family for self-interest and desire. I will never do such things because I know family is the most important thing. With family, you can achieve everything you want. Without family, even having a fortune is meaningless. Is living alone according to your own desires worth it?"

One has to admit that Zhang Zhentian was struck by his daughter-in-law’s words. Indeed, having all the money in the world wouldn’t make living alone meaningful. He now realized the pain of being without his wife, and he is not happy at all. What’s more, he has committed so many mistakes in the past; if he doesn’t repent now, his life would truly be over. His wife would never come back to him, and his father or son would never forgive him.

"I know what to do now..."

"Everything should be done with a clear conscience!"

You know, every step I took on my path was to make sure I never regretted my choices...
