My Alleged Husband-Chapter 879 - 824: Biological Father?
Zhang Zhentian and Xia Jing were shocked by the words Zhang Yichen had just uttered. What did he mean by saying that Zhang Zhentian was not Old Master Zhang’s biological son? What exactly was the intention behind his words?
"Yichen, Dad doesn’t understand the meaning behind the words you just said. What does it mean that I am not your grandfather’s biological son? If I’m not his biological child, then why would he shed tears over my issues? The statement you made is ridiculous. Even if you’re not satisfied with me as your father, shouldn’t use such a thing to alienate me, right?"
"You claim to be Grandfather’s biological child, but think about it, do each of the things you’ve done truly resemble the actions of a biological son? To abandon, to hurt, to betray; none of these actions are those that a son should perform toward a father, the duties one ought to fulfill. Have you ever reflected on where you went wrong at all?
Even if you choose to remain obstinate, must you go to this extent? Your behavior truly makes me feel estranged and fearful. Are you really my father? Everyone feels sad and distressed about their family issues because I understand that every family has its own hardships, and I’ve never dwelled on these. But the things you did today, I just can’t comprehend them.
Each generation of the Zhang Family is devoted, willing to give everything for their wives. I understand this sentiment, but you could not possibly think of hurting your own father for the sake of your wife, that is my mother. Such actions are utterly unfilial. As a junior, as your son, I have no right to be overly critical or to lecture you. All I wish is that you see the current situation clearly, that in whatever you do, never consider hurting your own family members only to regret it later, as that serves no purpose. Family should never be taken for granted to hurt; if she tolerates your hurt, it’s because she understands you, knows that your harsh words are thoughtless, but that doesn’t mean every word you say can be easily disregarded by others.
You should know there’s a saying, ’The speaker means no harm, but the listener takes it to heart.’ What you say may be thoughtless, but to others, it seems intentional. I don’t know if the words you spoke today were a deliberate mistake or for some other reason, but in Grandfather’s eyes, you were being intentional, and you’ve deeply hurt his genuine feelings.
No matter how he treated you, he thinks that you are ungrateful. You do not deserve the best love he has for you. No matter how much he has done for you, no matter how much he has paved the way for you step by step, the outcome you carve for yourself only brings her grief. You never considered the capacity a family member should bear; all you desire is merely the so-called wishes of your heart."
Xia Jing could not bear to listen any longer. No matter what, she couldn’t let her son speak to her husband in such a tone after all, he is his biological father. But what should she do now to persuade him? Aren’t all these issues because of her own doing? She is the real culprit. Why does every mistake she makes seem so worthless in their eyes, requiring forgiveness? Why does every mistake she makes always cause the heaviest impact and hurt to those around her?
"My son, this matter has nothing to do with your father. Mom hopes you won’t put the blame for this incident on your father’s shoulders. If there’s any issue, I hope you vent your frustration on me. Your father truly loves you, he has already made many sacrifices and is gradually changing. Maybe the way he communicates with you is still a bit different; he doesn’t know how to get along with his own family members. This might be the negative outcome of many years of absence; for so many years, he didn’t accompany you because of my selfishness, keeping him away from you for so long, making you go many years without receiving the care and responsibility from him that you deserved."
