Zhang Zhentian knew he’d never have another chance to return to his father’s side in this lifeti, he’d really made his father too angry this ti. Why was he so stubborn at that mont, doing such things? Speaking a few honest words wouldn’t have killed anyone—why did he have to make his father so heartbroken, so upset? Why did he always do things that hurt his parents the most? Was he still even a son? His actions had made it impossible for everyone to forgive him, for anyone to find a way to pardon him. Was he truly an irredeemable villain by nature?
While Zhang Zhentian was entangled in his thoughts, his cell phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, he saw it was his wife’s number. After so many years, she had never once reached out to him. Today marked the first ti. Was there sothing important she needed to tell him, or was there so other motive? Over the years, he’d grown numb, no longer knowing what he truly wanted or for whom he had done so much. But in the end, it was still he who had his heart utterly broken. And now, how should he choose?
"Do you have any particular reason for calling ? So many years have passed, and you’ve never once contacted . Is the sun rising from the west today, or do you need sothing from ? You’re actually taking the initiative to call . Do you know how your behavior right now makes feel? I really don’t know what I saw in you back then. To think of all I gave up, all I sacrificed for you, yet everything I spent seems so trivial in your eyes. Maybe I just deserve this, fated to walk through life alone. I don’t even know why I did those things back then. Do you realize that today, because of you, I’ve fallen out with my father again? This ti he thoroughly kicked out of the house. Are you satisfied now? I’ve done so much, and you’ve never thought about who it was all for. I’ve made so many mistakes, but you’ll never understand the reason behind my actions and how they’ve led to this situation. In your eyes, maybe I’m nothing at all, but do you know that to , you are everything, my entire world? For you, I could give up anything, even my parents. And yet, in your eyes, you’d never do the sa for , because you’ve always thought I deserved it—that I willingly sacrificed for you without ever expecting anything in return, right?"
Xia Jing didn’t expect to be bombarded with so much before she had even said a word—correctly speaking, it shouldn’t be ’husband’ anymore but ’ex-husband’.
"What do you an by all this? I never asked you to do anything for . You chose to do those things on your own, so are you going to bla in the end? For every single thing you did, why should I be expected to do the sa for you? Being with you, I thought that the sacrifices you made should also co with a desire for return? I was happy every day with you, but often I felt suffocated by you. Haven’t I made sacrifices too? To be with you, I used all my savings to save your father’s company. In the end, he accepted our relationship, but you, you wanted to elope far away with , making your son a constant pang of resentnt for your father. That’s why he could never forgive us. Yet you always shalessly try to stick around at ho. How do you think that reflects on Dad’s face? You never considered my feelings when you did anything, so why should I consider yours now? We have nothing to do with each other anymore, so whatever you say or do is none of my business. I hope you won’t involve in these matters anymore—it would just make think you’re truly shaless. You’ve done so many wrong things, and now you want to lay all the bla at my door? I wasn’t born to take the fall for you. I’ve already endured all the bla you’ve laid on , how else do you expect to treat you?"
"What do you an ’you’ve taken on too many black marks for ’? Ask yourself, what have you done for , and what have I done for you? Can’t you be less headstrong in your actions? Don’t you rember the things you’ve done? You have to push these issues onto , does that really satisfy you? Those matters clearly involved you, so why won’t you just admit it? You did those things; are you scared of facing the consequences? How did I marry such a cowardly and spineless wife?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Jingyi grew angry: "Yes, I am a person without courage or guts, so what can you do about it? Are you going to bla for everything just like you used to? Let tell you, it’s impossible. I won’t take the bla for things I didn’t do, because that makes feel too exhausted. Over and over, I’ve sacrificed so much for you, but you keep putting all your mistakes on . Everyone has a breaking point—don’t you fear pushing past mine? In your heart, you’ve always known what you think, and I’m well aware of it too. You know what you’ve done and always think of making bear the consequences because you’re afraid. You know better than anyone how terrible a person you are, and the things you’ve done make everyone lose face."
"If that’s the case, why even speak to ? Isn’t this a waste of your breath? From now on, don’t talk to . I really don’t understand. If you love arguing with so much, why did you call ? Is it just to keep this argunt going? Do you find this fun? After all these years of squabbling, what do you really want—to keep it up forever? Do you actually think this makes for a happy, fulfilling life?"
