My Alleged Husband-Chapter 1486 - 1280: Different Lives

Actually, the last so-called bond between us had long been broken. By the time you finished watching, there was nothing left between us.

Old Master Zhang was once again infuriated by his son. How could a child say such things to his father and still believe they are justified? How hard is it to admit a mistake to him? What exactly does he mean to his son, and what does he have to do to make him understand the painstaking efforts of being a parent? He has given so much for him, yet he remains ungrateful, catching him off guard, unable to comprehend why. How did a family, originally capable of living happily ever after, end up like this, so miserable and numb?

"Dad, do you really want to kick your biological son out of the house? Are you really willing to throw your son out? We could have had a happy family life, so why did it have to come to this? Why is everything now so numb and unfeeling? You always think it’s my fault, that everything wrong falls on my shoulders, but have you ever considered whether you’ve done anything wrong? Aren’t you afraid of hurting your son’s heart by acting like this? No matter how many mistakes I made in the military, I am still your biological son, a fact that cannot change in this lifetime. Don’t you know that? Blood ties cannot change, even if you don’t acknowledge me as your son. We will always be family because your blood flows in my veins!"

When Old Master Zhang heard his son say such things, he found it truly amusing. So his son still knew he had his heart, that they had a blood relationship, but why did his actions resemble nothing a son would do to a father? Why did he keep pushing his limits, hurting him time and again? Does he want him to be wounded all over to be satisfied? No matter what, he is still his father. How could he justify this to his mother, who has been dead for years?

"Don’t you find it funny to say such things to me now? Do you really see me as your father? With the things you’ve said and done, are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of your mother, who passed away so many years ago? She surely wouldn’t be happy if she knew that the son she gave her life for was so ungrateful. She would rather live than have a son like you. But you, she gave up her life for you to experience the beauty of this world, only to find out that what remained was just a child who goes against his father, against his elders. Even as your mother, in the afterlife, she can’t rest in peace, birthing such a rebellious son. No one can understand the pain, perhaps only I know, because back then, your mother pleaded with me to protect your life, to let you come into this world and experience it. But the end result is this. Do you know how much hatred I harbor inside? Had I known you’d be this rebellious, I wouldn’t have listened to your mother, wouldn’t have let you come into this world, causing her to lose her life. You hurt so many people, yet everyone chose to forgive you. But you’ve never considered whether everything you did was right or wrong, always going with your heart. Do you really believe every thought you have is correct? Do you think every action, every step you take is faultless? You will never understand how much others cared for you. The ones you hurt are always the ones who loved you most, treated you as family. Someday when all these people are lost and have left you, you’ll realize you haven’t just lost a family member, you’ve lost the people in the world who love you the most. Besides them, no one else in this world will ever love you as much. But you’ll never feel that. Until the day you truly lose them, you won’t realize that everything you did was wrong, that every path you chose and every step you took wasn’t correct. That moment will be when your inner suffering is most intense, and the torment is at its worst. I’m waiting for that day to come. I want to see you face retribution, to witness the outcome for a father as rebellious as you, who bullies his own son. What decent ending could that have..."

"So, my biological father has been contemplating how to make me face retribution, to be condemned by everyone, right? Is there truly room in your heart for me as your son? Today when you kicked me out of the house, rest assured, I will certainly leave. Once I’m out, I will have nothing to do with the Zhang Family ever again. No matter what happens to the Zhang Family, I will never return, nor set foot in this place again. This place suffocates me, makes me feel the absence of love. Even my closest family, my father, wants to kick me out. What kind of hurt do you think this inflicts on my heart?"

"You should remember, today’s consequences aren’t brought upon you by others, but created by yourself. Every path was your choice, so what right do you have to blame others now? The path you chose is one you must bear. You will one day have to pay for your past mistakes, pay a heavy price. Every step you’ve taken is calculated, built on the misfortunes of those who care and love you. Given this, what is there you wouldn’t do? You rolling away from here is the best outcome, as you can wander the world joyfully and never have to worry about me bringing you back!"

"Fine, I’ll leave..." Zhang Zhentian said and left.

Perhaps when we both stepped out of that holiday time, our lives were doomed to be ordinary.
