My Alleged Husband

Chapter 657 - 635 Gone with the Wind_2

Old Master Zhang now finds himself increasingly at a loss for how to comfort his grandson. Perhaps as time goes on, these matters have become deeply rooted in his grandson’s heart, with no way to change them. He knows that the conclusion of everything now is merely the result of his own son’s decisions, and there is no way for him to alter the mistakes his son had made; thus, he must bear the responsibility himself. There are no such good deals in this world.

"Grandpa, I understand all the reasons you’ve mentioned, but these issues have become deeply entrenched in my heart. I can’t easily let go, don’t you know that? My mom and dad abandoned me, their own son, when I was only a month old. How could I, as their son, feel okay? I am a living, breathing person too. I’ve yearned for my parents to be by my side. I’ve endured too many years; I’ve even become numb because I’ve continuously suppressed my feelings.

None of you know how much pain I carry inside. I’ve made so many efforts, so why in the end do they still choose to treat me this way? In their eyes, am I really so worthless? Is it so difficult for them to come back and stay by my side? Is their freedom really more important than the lifelong happiness of their own son? Why must they be so selfish? Why can other parents be selflessly loving, yet mine are so selfish, repeatedly hurting their own son for their selfish desires?

Sometimes, just thinking about these things hurts so much. I really can’t comprehend what sort of mental state my parents must be in to want to abandon me, their son. I don’t ask for much, really, not much at all. If that is too much to ask, then who in this world could dare to wish for these things? Maybe it’s just a wishful thinking in my heart. To my parents, they just don’t care. I really wish things could go back to the way they were. If I had known they would treat me like this, I would rather not have been born into this world at all!

Having fought to come into this world, it all ends up like this due to the abandonment of my own parents. My heart truly hurts, and in the end, I still have to face reality, which is always cruel, beyond my understanding.

Grandpa, you have comforted me with so many words over the years; I really don’t want to hear it anymore. I just want to know why, if my parents have chosen to give up on me, their son, why do they have to reappear in my life and repeatedly disrupt my peace of mind? Do I really mean nothing to them?

After repressing these feelings for so many years, I never thought that one day I would explode. I never thought that my parents would come back into my life, nor did I expect them to still refuse to recognize me, their son, to meddle in my happiness, and yet again abandon their own son. What am I to them? Is my happiness really so insignificant? Do they really not want me to live a happy and peaceful life? They are my parents. As much as I want to let these things go, I can’t. The abandonment by my parents haunts me constantly, leaving me alone to bear the pain. I can’t forget all the suffering they caused me. I just want my parents to stay by my side and give me a family filled with happiness.

For other kids, this might just be a commonplace request, but for me, it’s the greatest desire of my life, perhaps something I will never achieve. Why is there such a big difference? Is it because I was born into a wealthy family? Is it because my parents don’t consider me their son?"

Old Master Zhang knows that there is nothing he can say now to comfort his grandson. Seeing his grandson in such fury, he realizes that only his son and daughter-in-law can come back to address the issue. Perhaps the best solution is to let them communicate properly for the first time. If they can really revert to the beginning, then he truly doesn’t know how to face his son, Zhang Zhentian, who may not understand the extent of his own son’s resentment.

Indeed, no one in this world forgives another without cause. Whatever one has done or said, the moment you make a mistake, why should others forgive you? Repeated tolerance only leads to spoiling, making one feel entitled, as if everything is deserved. The world is fair; no one is indebted to anyone else. It’s up to each individual to carve out their own path; every choice leads to unpredictable outcomes, which can only be discovered step by step. So, whom can we blame now?

All endings are but the result of their own past decisions, and all consequences must now be borne by them alone. There is no one else who can alter the state of affairs for them.
