"You once said you would live for yourself, never changing your attitude because of others’ issues or opinions. Now, you have completely forgotten the experints at school back then, you’ve forgotten the words you said before, you’ve lost the ability to rember the outco you truly want. Step by step, you’ve co this far, but all you’ve wanted is just a peaceful and stable life."
Zhang Zhentian himself has already said such things. As a father, what more can he say now?
His son has already made such a decision, so as a father, he can no longer intervene in these matters.
Perhaps only by letting them experience this pain themselves will they understand that so things cannot be forgiven rely through one’s own actions, and the mistakes made in the past must ultimately be paid for with their own decisions.
"Do as you wish; every decision is yours alone. No matter what we elders say, you never listen. In your eyes, we as elders are insignificant. The only one you see is your wife. So why co back to this family and let endure your anger again? Haven’t you returned just to see hospitalized once more?
Can’t your heart show even a little filial piety towards your biological father? What’s wrong with just going along with a bit?
I am your biological father. Would I ever do or say anything to harm you?
Why are you so ungrateful, hurting the ones who love you the most over and over until you’re satisfied?"
"I was truly grateful when you stood by my side and spoke a fair word back then. I never intended to bla anyone, no matter how much you hurt . I never hated you. In my eyes, regardless of how you treat , I still see you as family—a love that will never change."
Old Master Zhang is truly furious now. He never thought that despite his kind persuasion, his son remains unmoved.
No matter how far the father goes in his words, in his son’s eyes, every word he says is wrong. Is he really such a failure as a father?
In his son’s eyes, is everything he does wrong?
Is it really so abnormal to just do one right thing?
Xia Jing knows Old Master Zhang is angry now. She truly hopes not to see her husband in discord with anyone in the family because of her. She feels her guilt deepening, realizing her lies have hurt those who sincerely treat her, causing pain to those who truly love her ti and again. How many more mistakes does she have to make in this life before stopping, before those who love her aren’t hurt anymore because of her?
"How can you talk to your father like that? What he says isn’t without reason. I was at fault first. He’s saying and doing these things for your own good. Why can’t you understand a father’s painstaking efforts?
We abandoned our child. He struggled alone to raise our son. Isn’t that difficult for him? Haven’t you ever considered that?
We have to learn to be grateful. Although I’ve taken you along, wandering the world for years and made many mistakes, gratitude remains in my heart, because I am thankful to him for tirelessly raising my son.
How much did my son pay for my decisions? How much did he lose? Who can understand?"
In Old Master Zhang’s eyes, every word Xia Jing says is rely an act. He doesn’t want to see his daughter-in-law acting in front of him again. To him, this woman seems harmless, but in the end?
Hasn’t she, ti and again, caused chaos and havoc in this family because of her presence? Is his family still enduring greater harm because of her appearance?
"Enough, you don’t need to keep acting in front of .
Every ti there’s conflict between father and son, it’s because of you. Since you appeared, our father-son conversations have never been peaceful. Ti and again, I’ve been hospitalized because of her. Have you ever returned to my side to see , supported , during all these years? Although you say you’re grateful to for raising your child, I don’t need your gratitude because he is a Zhang Family’s descendent.
No matter what, I will raise him at any cost because he’s the last of our lineage. No matter what you’ve done in the past, I won’t hold it against you, but in this matter, I cannot refrain from intervening. Whatever agreent you’ve reached is aningless to .
All I want is a promise between you two—that you won’t do anything outrageous again in this life. Can you consider the feelings of us relatives when you act?"
Old Master Zhang finds it exhausting to be with his family. Why do they always feel he’s trying to hurt them with his words? Why can’t they consider things from his perspective? He also wants a peaceful life; he never intended to disturb their marital bliss for no reason, yet they’re pushing him to the limit with their repetitive actions.
The greatest value between a couple, isn’t it loyalty? Beyond loyalty, it’s trust. If loyalty and trust cannot be maintained, what’s the point of being together?
The more he thinks, the more confused he becos. Why are his decisions always misunderstood by his family? How much has he sacrificed? How much has he lost? What’s the result?
Reflecting now, his heart feels cold. Despite being willing to sacrifice everything for his family, all he received in return was misunderstandings from them.
"I don’t want to say anything now. I only hope you both will seriously think about whether you want to live for others or for yourselves in this life. If you live for others, your life loses all aning; if for yourselves, live boldly, without repeatedly giving up everything you originally wanted to pursue for the sake of others. Living like that isn’t for yourselves, but for a blind goal!"
Xia Jing knows well that she would never live for herself, but for the man she loves most in her heart.
"Perhaps I should look at my life path, review every step I’ve taken to see whether it was right or wrong. I’m getting older now, and I should reflect on every step of my life journey, seeing what benefits or harm it has brought to those around ..."
