My Alleged Husband

Chapter 312 - 292 Seeking Help_1

Zhang Yichen knew that whatever he said now was useless, and he also knew that whatever he said now couldn’t move the woman he loved. The only way was for his mother, uncle, aunt, and his brothers to come out and persuade, otherwise he was truly destined to be a bachelor for life.

"I made myself clear today. No matter what decision you make, you can only be my wife for the rest of your life. You can’t escape. Instead of wasting each other’s time like this, why not give each other a chance to continue our lives? Weren’t we happy during the time you lost your memory? Why do you have to treat me this way now that your memory is back?" Zhang Yichen couldn’t understand why the woman he loved would treat him and their relationship like this the moment she regained her memory. In his eyes, was their affection so fragile? Was it really so insignificant? He refused to believe this was what his beloved truly felt in her heart.

"You talk about giving another chance as if it’s simple, but when your parents pleaded with you, why didn’t you choose to give them one more chance? They had shared over a decade together as intimate partners, yet because of someone’s lie, they chose to divorce. Why didn’t they give each other another chance? A chance is not something that can be easily given. Once a decision has been made, you must bravely go through with it; there’s no turning back. Your parents should understand this principle. If you don’t know what I mean, you can go and ask your parents. They have more experience than us!"

Zhang Yichen secretly messaged Xia Jing, his uncle, aunt, and his brothers, avoiding Ran Zhihan’s attention. He waited for his relatives to come and rescue his love.

An hour later, Xia Jing arrived at Ran Zhihan’s place. Xiao Wei, Li Jiayuan, and Lei Jian, the three brothers, were all there!

"Zhihan, it was all my fault before. I shouldn’t have treated your parents that way. If you’re unwilling to be with my son because of me, then I apologize. Please forgive me and be with my son. He has truly loved you for these three years. Even when he had regained his memory and you hadn’t, he was always there for you, believing that one day you would feel his love and remember him again. But now you’re suddenly saying such things to him, leaving him unable to accept it..." Xia Juan said.

"Auntie, you’re not to blame for this. There are issues in our relationship, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. You shouldn’t get involved. I believe he should understand why I suddenly made this decision!"

"Child, don’t be like this. Look, everyone has come to persuade you. You should calm down and think about what you really want. Deep down you know the truth about many things. No one is truly happy with all that has been said. You saw it yourself, your future mother-in-law, just three years after her divorce, is here to persuade you to be with her son. Don’t you know why she’s doing this? She sees you as her daughter-in-law. Why can’t you understand her heartfelt efforts?" Old Master Zhang said to Ran Zhihan.

Ran Zhihan hadn’t expected that Zhang Yichen would go to such lengths to make her change her mind, bringing all the people who treated her best to persuade her!

"He’s brought all these elders here just to be with me. Is this really necessary?"

"Oh, of course, there’s a need! The woman I love most, my fiancee, doesn’t want me anymore, so why shouldn’t I seek help? Why can’t I let others assist me? I believe deep down you still feel something; it’s just that you’ve suddenly regained your memory and are a bit overwhelmed, right? Please, give me one more chance, don’t break my heart this time, okay? We’ve lived together for so long, for three whole years—can’t that change even this? Over these three years, do you know how much I’ve hoped you would regain your memory? Constantly, I waited for the day you’d embrace me, not out of confusion but with recognition. But why now, when you’ve regained your memory, must you treat me this way?"

"Zhihan, I know that you have Yichen in your heart—you know that, he’s my good brother. You two have had so many conflicts, and each time wasn’t it me mediating between you? This time, listen to me too. Don’t be like this; it will only hurt yourself, hurt the person you love the most. Look at all these people who’ve traveled thousands of miles for the two of you; can you really bear to send them back empty-handed?" Lei Jian also spoke up.

"Lei Jian, you’re the one I should be most grateful to. During my time studying in the United States, you were always by my side. Whenever I faced difficulties, you extended a helping hand without hesitation. I should thank you for that. But after all, this is about my personal feelings. I don’t want to be with him out of mere compliance because of your persuasion. I believe everyone present understands that a marriage built on pressure will never be happy. So instead of both suffering later on, why not make the right decision at the start?"

"My dear granddaughter-in-law, do you really have the heart to see your grandfather alone at home? You’re such a filial child, remarkably kind, beyond my expectations. Can’t you keep your grandfather company?"

"Grandfather, even if I weren’t your granddaughter-in-law, I could still come to visit you at home..."

"I don’t want anyone else; I only want my granddaughter-in-law to accompany me, and that can only be you. Do you really want to leave me alone at home? You’re so kind-hearted, you surely can’t bear to see your grandfather struggling alone, right? If that’s the case, then why won’t you give my grandson one more chance, and yourself one too?"

"Grandfather..."

"Or do you think that me, this old man, living with you would inconvenience you? If that’s the case, don’t worry. After you two get married, I will move out and live alone, I won’t disturb your life together. You can live in a separate house, happily ever after!"

Upon hearing Old Master Zhang say this, Ran Zhihan became anxious.

"Grandfather, I didn’t mean that at all. You’re the kindest to me, and with Ning Xia around, I’ve never felt lonely or scared. But this concerns my lifelong happiness; I don’t want to make such a hasty decision. After all these years, I believe you should know what kind of person I am. You should understand that I consider every decision carefully—I wouldn’t just rush into one. So why won’t any of you give me a little time to think? Why must you pressure me to give an immediate answer that you all want? How is that fair to me? Grandfather, in my heart, I regard you as my own grandfather and I hope you won’t make it difficult for me..."
