My Alleged Husband-Chapter 1046 - 899: You Are Not Wrong

"Actually, none of the decisions you made were wrong. It was my repeated aggressiveness that hurt you, and in the end, I gained nothing from it.

In this lifetime, I’ve never wronged anyone. The people I always mention are only you and my father, who never listened to me at all. I cannot forgive the mistakes I’ve made over the years. I just want to ask you, don’t you ever make mistakes? Everyone makes mistakes. To err is human, but how can you truly believe that all I’ve done was not out of genuine intent? Abandoning you, do you think it didn’t hurt my classmates at all? Do you really believe that all the decisions I made were just selfishly for my own freedom and happiness?

I think you should try to consider things from my perspective. These years, how hard have they truly been for me?

I devoted all my happiness and joy to your mother. I realized that as long as your mom wasn’t happy, nothing mattered to me more than seeing her smile sincerely. Those years, I gave everything I had, including all my true heart and feelings, just to see her smile. You have no idea how exhausting that period was for me, right? Is it that I have no means to persist, or am I simply afraid? I’m afraid the last reason I continue is merely betraying what he did to me, and ultimately hurt.

But I never gave up because I wanted to give you a complete family. If conflicts arise between me and your mother, then you wouldn’t have both parents anymore. The idea of them being alive and yet separated means you wouldn’t be suitable for my protection—would my inner self feel nothing at all?

My greatest desire time and again was to come back here, to be by your side, to see my son talking to me. Even if it means constant arguing, even if it leads to nothing, not even the best outcome, I can still be happy and content. These years, I don’t know what kind of willpower kept me alive until today, but being able to live until now is already a miracle."

"Grandpa, I really disagree with what you said. You tell us that you being alive today is a miracle, an accident, but have you ever thought about it? My father being alive today is truly a miracle. He underwent hellish training in the mountains, and only then could he explode through everything. He didn’t quit. At that time, he didn’t even take naps. Have you thought about what kind of terrifying psychology a child of just a few years old goes through in facing all that pain?

You ask us all to see things from your perspective, but have you considered ours? Have our lives really been so happy, so relaxed, so carefree over these years? Can you live the free life you want, while we had to prove ourselves strong and correct, putting in all our efforts and training hard, and what harm did you ultimately give us?

You always think you’ve made no mistakes, but would we really wrong you for no reason?

You’ve changed, you’re not the same as before, so please stop saying these things, okay?

When you chose to hurt us in the past, you already doomed there would be no good outcome. Have you thought about it, Grandpa? Maybe from your personal viewpoint, your decisions seemed correct, but consider more carefully—while your decisions might not be wrong for yourself, don’t they cause harm to others? Isn’t that selfish behavior, living for your own interests but not for others? Others might live very hard. What my father wants is for you to be happy.

You can abandon your relatives for your own interests, let your family get hurt time and time again. Did you ever think one day you’d be abandoned by others?

You are my grandfather, my father’s birth father. Have you ever thought about how difficult things have been for my father over these years?

In your eyes, the only thing you see is your own benefit; shouldn’t you consider your family more? Wouldn’t your actions bring harm? People should respect, care, and love one another. If every decision you make hurts others, why should others give you their genuine heart?

True feelings are mutually given, yet in your eyes, there’s no one but yourself. If all you see is your own interest, it only shows that your entire life has been too much of a failure. Always thinking about leaving the best things for yourself, you forget your family also needs companionship. Have you considered that every misery you’ve left in your heart, what was all your effort for? Have you thought about what outcome you wanted in exchange for everything you paid?

Grandpa, as a younger generation, I admit what I said today might be excessive, but you should think about your actions; isn’t that really not excessive at all? Have you never considered that one day everyone might hate you and think everything you did was wrong? You’ve abandoned your relatives, your father, your entire family. You even turned a blind eye to the company your father worked hard to build. I really don’t know how to describe you. What you do is really heartless; why do you do all this? Have you never thought about how you should live to be really happy? You give all the pain to others and keep only happiness for yourself. Can you tell me, have you really been happy all these years? When you were with my grandma, she gave you the greatest joy, didn’t she? Actually, no. Your greatest moment of joy should be when you return home, when the whole family gathers happily to eat together."

Zhang Zhentian didn’t expect not to say anything, yet his grandson saw so clearly through him, seeing through all the thoughts in his mind. He knew when he was happiest and what the hardest phase of his life was.

He really is his grandson...
