Chapter 1307 - 1136: Never Bowed My Head
The love deep in my heart has long been drowned by pain. How much time do we have to be entangled, how many words can replace everything? Actually, the person who hurt me the most in this life is not you all, but myself.
Zhang Yichen knew that no matter what he said now, it wouldn’t help. He also knew that nothing he said now could move the woman he loved, so the only way was to let his mother, uncle, aunt, and his brothers come out together to persuade her. Otherwise, he’d really be single for the rest of his life.
"I’ll make it clear today, no matter what decision you make, you’ll be my wife for this lifetime. You can’t escape. So why waste each other’s time like this? Why not give each other a chance to continue living together? During the time you lost your memory, weren’t we living happily? Why do you treat me like this once you’ve regained your memory?" Zhang Yichen couldn’t understand why the woman he loved would treat their relationship like this once she recovered. In his eyes, was their relationship so fragile? So insignificant? He didn’t believe this was what she truly felt.
"It’s easy for you to say to give another chance. Your parents begged you so much back then, why didn’t you choose to give them another chance? They were companions for more than a decade, sleeping side by side for so many years, but because of one lie, they chose to separate. Why didn’t they give each other another chance? Chances aren’t given just like that. Once a decision is made, you must see it through with determination, with no turning back. Your parents should understand this. If you don’t understand what this means, you can ask your parents. They will understand it better than we do!"
Zhang Yichen secretly sent messages to Xia Jing, his uncle and aunt, and his brothers, waiting for these family members to come rescue his love.
An hour later, Xia Jing arrived at Ran Zhihan’s place. Xiao Wei, Li Jiayuan, and Lei Jian were all there!
"Zhihan, it was Auntie’s fault before. Auntie shouldn’t have treated your parents like that. If you don’t want to be with my son because of me, Auntie apologizes to you. Please forgive Auntie and be with my son. He truly loves you over these three years. When you hadn’t recovered your memory, he had already recovered his, yet he stayed by your side all the time, believing that someday you would feel his love for you and remember him again. But now you suddenly say this to him, he can’t accept it..." Xia Juan said.
"Auntie, it’s not your fault. The problem between him and me is our relationship, it has nothing to do with anyone else. Please don’t intervene. I believe he should understand why I’ve suddenly made this decision!"
"Child, don’t be like this. You see, everyone is here to persuade you. You should calm down and think carefully if you really want to do this. Many things, deep down, you understand. He’s said so much, and nowhere in anyone’s heart is there true joy. You see, your future mother-in-law just got divorced three years ago and she came to persuade you to be with her son. Don’t you understand why she’s doing this? She sees you as her daughter-in-law, so why can’t you understand her good intentions?" Old Master Zhang said to Ran Zhihan.
Ran Zhihan didn’t expect Zhang Yichen to have all the people who were best to her come to persuade her so that she would go back!
"He called all these elders just to be with me, was this necessary?"
"Oh, of course, it’s necessary. My most beloved woman, my fiancée, won’t want me. Why can’t I ask for help? Can’t I let others help me? I believe your heart once felt it. You just suddenly recovered your memory and are a bit lost, right? Please, give me another chance, don’t break my heart this time, alright? We’ve lived together for so long, three years. Hasn’t that changed anything? During those three years, do you know how much I hoped you would regain your memory? I was always waiting for the day you would remember me and hug me, not hug me while being confused. But why, now that you’ve regained your memory, do you treat me like this?"
"Zhihan, I know you have Yichen in your heart. You know, he’s my good brother. Before, when you both had so many arguments, wasn’t it always me who was the mediator? This time, listen to my advice, don’t be like this. Doing so will only hurt yourself, and you’ll end up hurting the one you love the most too. Look at all these people who came all this way because of the two of you. Can you really bear to let them make a wasted trip?" Lei Jian also spoke up.
"Lei Jian, you’re the one I’m most thankful for. During my time studying in the United States, you always accompanied me, helped me generously whenever I was in trouble. I should thank you, but ultimately this is about my relationship. I don’t want to be with him reluctantly because of your persuasion. I believe everyone present here understands that a marriage forced upon us will never be happy. Rather than live suffering together later on, why not make the decision at the beginning?"
"My dear granddaughter-in-law, would you really let grandpa be so lonely at home by himself? You’re such a filial child, your kindness surpasses my expectations. Can’t you spend time with grandpa?"
"Grandpa, even if I’m not your granddaughter-in-law, I can still come home and keep you company..."
"I don’t want anyone else to keep me company, I just want my granddaughter-in-law. And my granddaughter-in-law can only be you. Would you really want to see me alone at home? You’re so kind, you surely wouldn’t bear to see grandpa suffer alone at home, right? Since that’s the case, why don’t you give my grandson a chance, and also give yourselves a chance?"
"Grandpa..."
"Do you think having an old man like me living with you both makes you uncomfortable? If that’s the case, rest assured, after you two marry, I will move out and live alone, I won’t disturb your life. You can live in your own house and have a happy life together!"
Ran Zhihan heard what Old Master Zhang said and became anxious inside.
"Grandpa, I don’t mean that. In my heart, you’ve always been the best to me. Wherever Ning Xia is, I’ve never felt lonely, nor have I ever felt scared. But this concerns my significant relationship decision. I don’t want to rush into it hastily. After all these years, I believe you should know what kind of person I am. You should understand that I always think through my decisions and don’t make impulsive decisions. Since that’s the case, why won’t you give me a little time to think it over? Do I really need to be forced to give you an answer right now that you want? Do you think that’s fair to me? Grandpa, in my heart I see you as my real grandpa, so I hope you won’t make things difficult for me..."
I’ve never lowered my head in my eyes. To me, as long as I firmly hold onto what I want, I believe I’ll surely get it without separating. Even if there are only a few years left until the farewell, in my eyes, I would still feel happy, but I eventually realized that was wrong.
