Chapter 1423 - 1218: Life Is Like a Play
Whose life isn’t spent in pain, who genuinely lives happily, and who truly treats everyone with sincerity?
"Dad, in your heart, it seems that as long as mom is there and you see it, your heart is truly happy. But don’t you think this is a kind of pain? Clearly, the woman you love the most has always been by your side, yet because of your mistakes, you’ve made the woman who loves you the most leave you forever. Do you know if your heart would be happy like this? Clearly, you wouldn’t be happy, but why do you still act like you’re extremely happy? Do you think it makes sense for you to do this? This way, you’re forcing yourself to pretend. Do you want mom to see that you’re actually happy, and don’t want her departure to be considered a lifelong regret, right? Actually, you were a pair of deeply loving spouses anyway, so why cause each other such immense harm? Wouldn’t it be better to happily hold hands through life? Why make such a fuss? You’re all like this, it’s practically like the family is falling apart. Do you know how awkward my situation is? It’s hard for the whole world to know that my mom and dad have officially returned to me a few years ago, but now, when I’m about to announce to the whole world that my mom and dad have formally come home, you chose to divorce my mom. At that moment, you dealt me a fatal blow, without thinking about the consequences your divorce would have for me. You never stood in my perspective to consider for me. You always centered around yourselves, believing that what you think is right must be right, but you never know what kind of harm that causes me, again and again. Do you think that’s not enough?"
Zhang Zhentian truly didn’t know how to tell his son these words, but what he could understand is that since the feelings have already crumbled, then don’t try to hold on. Trying to hold on even if it comes back doesn’t genuinely mean sincere love anymore. What significance does such love have when it stays by your side? It would only make your heart suffer hundreds of times more, wouldn’t it? Why keep such pain by your side forever?
"Actually, I can understand what kind of emotion mom is feeling inside. It’s like being abandoned by your own hands, which no one can truly feel regardless of who. When you speak such words to my mom at this moment, how do you expect her to accept it? When you made such a decision back then, you never thought about how it would cause such a blow to my mom, did you? You didn’t expect my mom would leave so decisively, to never come back, did you? But you failed to foresee so many things. For every wrong thing you did, you’ll have to bear the consequences of your wrong decisions, right? Again and again, you make those who love you feel disheartened by the mistakes you made. Given you never considered such a decision back then, why regret it now? You’ve completely made my mom leave now, aren’t you satisfied? Now I no longer have a mom, my mom has to abandon her biological son once again. Isn’t your heart very joyful? Finally seeing this son being retributed, abandoned by his biological mother once again, perhaps you feel that’s my retribution, yet you don’t even understand how you feel inside? You don’t know what the people of the world think of me either? They all know my mom and dad are mercenaries, unaware of everything my mom sacrificed for my dad back then, knowing my mom abandoned her biological son for my dad, but now the whole world also knows, that when I’m prepared to announce to the whole world, that I have the world’s most loving parents, I still have to announce mom and dad’s formal divorce to the outside world. It’s you who have dealt me blow after blow, it’s you who made me feel lost, who made me not know how to face the world, who made me become like this today."
"Actually, things aren’t as you imagine them. All of this, I’m forced, I don’t know how to explain to your mom. But as my biological son, can’t you be the one to understand your dad? She’s my wife for over ten years, as a husband, my heart isn’t in pain, right? Actually, it isn’t. I just don’t know how to explain my true inner thoughts to you. Actually, I don’t understand that my decision is like ten bulls can’t pull it back; once it’s decided, it’s decided, and no plea will have any effect..."
"You clearly know it will ultimately lead to such results, but why did you do it back then? Is your intention really for the good of our family? You’re doing this purely for your own selfish interests, aren’t you? My mom is now preparing to go abroad, planning never to come back again. You’ve made me without a mom ever again, right? Step by step leading to the current situation, it’s all because of your coercion. You strategize step by step, yet make everyone think you’re a great person! I truly don’t understand why you value it so heavily? Doing this, how does it benefit you? Turning an entire family into this, do you feel no guilt at all? Do you think our family owes you, so to treat us this way? You can even abandon your own grandson, even your own son, even your biological father, do you think you’re still fit to be an adult? You’re already a grown-up, you abandoned your father, abandoned your son, and now even abandon your grandson. Do you think such a person has meaning living here? I know, as your son, I have no right to criticize you, but I hope you understand not to let mom completely leave me, otherwise I’ll only hate you more, you know? I don’t want much, I just wish to live happily with my mom, I just hope you and mom can come back together, even if not now, but just that you can come back together would already be enough for me. But why can’t even such a small wish be satisfied?"
"Child, I’m sorry, it’s dad who apologizes to you..."
"Do you know the world’s most useless words are these three?"
I hate those who hurt others then say sorry, always thinking everyone should forgive them.
