My Alleged Husband

Chapter 1265 - 1094: A Finale That Doesn’t Matter

"In your eyes, is it true that all my sacrifices are taken for granted? Is it true that in your eyes, everything I do for you is something I should do, while deep down, you will never consider any issue from my perspective."

Xia Jing never expected her son to say such heavy words to her. Did she really make a mistake? Is it wrong for a mother to love her son? Why does she never receive a kind word from her son?

"Why, after doing so many things, does he never realize for whom I’m doing them? In his eyes, is his mother really so unbearable? Why does he blame every fault on me?" Xia Jing muttered to herself, thinking no one would hear her, but unbeknownst to her, her husband, Zhang Zhentian, was standing right behind her.

"Now you understand what it feels like to do so much and not even get a kind word in return, right? He is your son. He desperately wants his relationship with his loved one to be recognized by you, his mother. But what about you? What have you done? You pushed his girlfriend to a dead end time and time again. How do you expect him to accept you as his mother? You think this is love for him, but in his eyes, this is nothing but endless harm. Do you think our son, with his proud nature, would accept us as his parents after such treatment? Reflect on what we have done. I can’t even believe those were our actions now. I finally understand that people indeed lose their reason when acting on impulse!"

"What right do you have to criticize me now? Weren’t you supporting me when that happened? If it weren’t for your supportive attitude, how would I have done such impulsive things? I admit, at that time, in that situation, I did lose my reason. My hatred blinded me because I hated that girl. If it weren’t for her, why would our son choose to disown me, his mother, repeatedly? I blamed everything on her until, in the hospital, she pleaded for mercy on my behalf to avoid legal charges. At that moment, I admit, part of me wanted to accept her as my daughter-in-law. But today, I realize it was all wishful thinking on my part. On the surface, she forgave me, but secretly, she stabbed me in the back. You know how I, Xia Jing, hate nothing more than being stabbed in the back. If you’re dissatisfied, say it to my face; let me go to jail and serve my punishment, but don’t scheme against me from behind. That, I cannot tolerate." Xia Jing was dissatisfied. Clearly, Zhang Zhentian was also involved, yet in the end, everyone blamed her alone, making her bear all the faults by herself.

"Can’t you ever calm down and think clearly? Think about the harm this will cause your loved ones. Yes, she’s just a commoner now, but how can you be sure she will remain a commoner in ten or twenty years? Just because someone is born a commoner, who said they can’t enter high society? You should know that in high society, many people gain a footing through scheming. Everyone thinks about manipulating others to maximize their own interests, ensuring their benefits skyrocket while defeating competitors. That’s scheming. But a commoner girl is different; she makes her way into high society through her own hands and efforts. Don’t you think such a girl deserves respect? Doesn’t she deserve a perfect love?"

"I believe I’ve made myself very clear. It’s not that I look down on her for being a commoner girl. On the contrary, I’ve just come to accept her. But why, just as I started to accept her, did the rumors start? Don’t you think it’s suspicious? If she hadn’t been backstabbing me, I could accept her as a daughter-in-law. But since she now gossips about me and stabs me in the back, I cannot accept it. How can a woman with such poor character enter the Zhang Family doors? What gives her the right to be with my son? My son is a king of commerce; what is she, a commoner?"

"You still think our son, the king of commerce, is better than a commoner girl. Why can’t you understand that what our son needs is exactly a commoner girl? Perhaps you personally think a commoner girl has no benefit, but for our son, she is more than just a benefit—she is his most beloved woman. Just like when I was willing to go against all odds and defy my father to be with you. My father, who raised me for over twenty years, I was willing to defy him to love you. How else do you want me to prove my love?"

Xia Jing got a little angry, "What do you mean? Do you need a reason to love me? Isn’t it right for you to love me? If you didn’t love me, why be with me? Don’t tell me you’re like your father. He agreed to us being together because I saved his company, so he approved of us. Is that how you feel too?"

Zhang Zhentian didn’t expect Xia Jing’s reaction to be so intense. He found it hard to accept. He was already upset, not knowing how to resolve the issue at hand. Why did his wife not understand or sympathize with him at all, pushing his boundaries over and over? He finally lost his temper.

"What do you mean? Let me make it clear; if I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t have chosen to be with you. I wouldn’t have opposed my father. I am with you not because you saved my father’s company but because I love you. Was my decision to be with you because you were the one who saved my father’s company? I don’t think so. A person needs a conscience. Don’t always assume everyone is out to backstab you. You haven’t thoroughly investigated this matter, so don’t falsely accuse innocent people. You know how important reputation is to someone. She’s just a commoner girl now, and I have nothing to say about your slander. But should she ever become your daughter-in-law, how will you face her? Seeing each other daily under one roof, how will you get along? Will you still blame her for everything? She’s a kind-hearted girl. She doesn’t want much, only a marriage and happiness she desires. Isn’t that what every woman should long for? You can choose to have it; why can’t she?"

"I am me; she is her. I have the right to choose happiness, and it has nothing to do with her. She isn’t me, and I’m not her, so don’t lump us together."

"Let me make myself clear today; from now on, I will no longer involve myself in anything between you two. But I hope you remember, if anything like this happens again, don’t push any responsibility onto me, because I don’t know, nor do I want to know."

Xia Jing didn’t expect that they, who rarely fought, would argue so fiercely because of an unrelated outsider.

"You are my parents. I never intended to blame or punish you for anything, but I hope you can consider me in everything you do."
