My Alleged Husband-Chapter 1726 - 1520: Return
Although this was never my intention, I will always remember you once said that you would love me forever. Perhaps promises are just that unreliable.
I really don’t want you to use silence to cover up the broken emotions between us, yet the outcome is laid bare before us, and you thought you would say something, but it’s nothing more than a "sorry!"
Zhang Yichen left his mother behind and ran towards the cliff. He looked down, staring at the endless abyss. He knew this cliff was not just a few meters high but dozens or even hundreds. He never expected his beloved girl to completely disappear in front of him like this. He was stunned.
"You don’t need to look. This cliff is hundreds of meters high. No one who has fallen has ever returned alive. She has now completely disappeared from this world. You can also find a wife who matches your status, which would be the best result for everyone!" Xia Jing said to Zhang Yichen.
Upon hearing his mother’s words, Zhang Yichen felt a surge of anger within his body. He was furious. Why did his mother want to make his most cherished lover completely disappear?
"You have the nerve to say these things to me here. Did you ever think that her disappearance right in front of my eyes would make me endure unbearable suffering? You clearly had better ways to handle this situation, yet you chose the most ruthless means to deal with me and her. You never knew how much I longed to find her during these ten years, how much I hoped to spend my life with her after finding her, but because of your interference, everything changed drastically. Because of you, she chose to break up with me again and again. I tolerated all of these because I knew in her heart, no matter what, she never wanted us, mother and son, to become enemies. But you, have you ever thought about what she sacrificed? You only see what she brought to you, but you never thought about what you brought to her. To bring you back to the Zhang Family, she did not hesitate to exchange it with our love. But you? How do you repay her? At first, you kept pressuring her again and again, then you chose to hurt her, using her parents to threaten her. The most hateful thing is that today you actually pushed her down! Do you know this is a cliff, falling down could mean no remains left? Do you hate her so much?" Zhang Yichen roared.
"It’s not that I hate her. It’s just that her existence made our mother-son relationship extraordinarily tense. The only way for our relationship to return to its former state is for her to disappear completely from our lives, meaning from this world. Do you think I don’t know? If I just simply push her away from you, you would search for her all over the world. With your capability, you will find her one day. But if she disappears from this world, you will never find her again, and that way, I can be at ease!"
"Have you not thought about it? From my birth to a month after, on the day you abandoned me, there was only that one month of mother-son relationship between us. How do you talk about restoring it to its original state? At that time, you chose to cruelly abandon me, pursued your own freedom. Did you not consider that one day you might not be able to come home because of abandoning me back then? Grandpa once told me that when he asked you two to make a choice, it was my father who held your hand and walked out of the Zhang Family door. I know at that moment you hesitated a bit, but eventually, you left home with him, leaving me at home, letting Grandpa raise me alone. I know all this, but I chose to remain silent because I understand that by not saying anything, I could minimize the hurt. It’s not that I don’t know how much these hurts strike me, I merely hope you guys understand, many times the things you do aren’t because others don’t know, but because they choose to remain silent, leaving a way out for you. As the saying goes: ’If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it.’ Since you did that back then, don’t be afraid of me knowing. Since you’ve pushed her off the cliff, don’t fear being ridiculed by the world in the future!" Zhang Yichen said helplessly to Xia Jing: "You are my mother, my biological mother, how can you do this? Are you really happy seeing your own son suffering because of your actions? I believe it’s not like that. I believe even the most venomous tiger doesn’t eat its cub. But you, are you still worthy of me calling you mother? I have always respected you as the most esteemed person in my heart because you gave me life. No matter how you treat me, I will consider you my family, even if I cannot accept for a while why you abandoned me. But one day I will agree for you to return to the Zhang Family. Yet, what you’ve done now has completely broken this thought. When I saw you push her off the cliff with my own eyes, I knew our mother-son bond was about to end. I don’t want to become the son of a murderer in the future; I find that so embarrassing for me."
"You are my son, no matter what, I don’t want to fall out with you because of this matter. But since you’ve put it this way, I can’t force you anymore. You should know how high this cliff is, if you really don’t believe she’s dead, then go find her. If you can find her, it means there’s truly a fate between you two, then I will no longer interfere with you!"
After Xia Qing finished speaking, Zhang Yichen directly rushed out. He wanted to find his beloved girl. He knew what it felt like to watch his loved one completely disappear before his eyes. He was heartbroken. He didn’t care if people said his mother brought this pain to him. He always thought no matter how heartless his mother was, she wanted her son to find happiness. But today he realized his mother did not think that way. She repeatedly hurt his loved one. He didn’t want to say another word to his mother here. He wanted to find his beloved person because only by finding her could he feel assured. He did not believe Heaven would be so unfair to such a kind-hearted girl, letting her completely disappear from the world for this reason...
(Below the cliff)
"Zhihan... Zhihan, where are you? If you can hear my voice, please answer me..."
He ran down to search beneath the cliff but searched for a long, long time and still couldn’t find her.
"Am I really going to lose you like this? I’m unwilling. Why does the love of ten years between us ultimately not withstand my mother’s harm? I know she shouldn’t have pushed you off the cliff. No matter what, whether you’re angry or hate my mother, I’m begging you to come out. Don’t let me keep searching here in vain. I don’t know where you are; I just hope you can come out and say something to me!"
When I knew one day my parents would return to me, I was excited yet unable to conceal the pain in my heart. I always thought he was the best person in the depths of my heart, but I never thought that one day he would cause my family to fall apart.
