Zhang Zhentian had no idea that deep inside, his father harbored such thoughts. He believed his father would find everything joyful, thinking that his return ho would be the happiest event of his father’s life. Yet, he never expected that his return would ultimately lead them to look down on him.
"Dad, I know, perhaps deep in your heart, you think my return to this ho is a sign of weakness. However, I can tell you openly and honestly, I feel absolutely no loss. I just want to stay in this ho peacefully. I want every family mber to truly treat as one of their own. The damage I once caused may never be fully andable in a lifeti, and I have sincerely apologized many tis. No matter what, deep inside, you are reluctant to accept as family. I do not understand what I an to you or the significance of these feelings.
I repeatedly assert that I am your son, and no matter what, I want to stay by your side to take care of you, regardless of how you view . Being by your side proves I still have the chance to honor you. Having once caused you pain, I can only compensate with the latter half of my life. I owe you all the love and care I withheld, all of which I will fully return to stay by your side, even if it ans working like a beast of burden!
"Why do you bother yourself? Knowing this day might co, why did you decisively choose to leave in the first place? Don’t you understand? The ti when you left broke everyone’s heart at ho. You never treated your family as people you truly wanted to live with. You always thought to use your friends and took your family for granted, easily hurting them with no thought of grievances. But you forget, family are people too, not gods!
Zhentian, you are grown-up now. As a father, I shouldn’t have to keep repeating myself; doing so would only hurt your pride. Do you know? So things aren’t easily forgotten. You should clearly recall all the choices you have made. Think about it; do any of your past decisions remain unregretted?
You have never been able to let go of being ruthlessly turned away by us; it haunted you deeply. You chose to say nothing. I don’t know what to say about you, whether you have too much endurance, or you hide your feelings too deeply!"
"Dad, I have explained more than once; I have never harbored any ill feelings about being forced to leave this ho or the fact that you turned away. If I say I don’t mind, it ans I truly don’t care. No matter what, you are still my father. Everything wrong before was my fault!
Even if I return ho now, and you still reject , I can understand. No matter how you treat , I am willing to accept it, because you are my father. As you said, I am your son, an unseverable blood relation. This truth may sadden you, making you feel we aren’t worthy to be your sons or live with you in this ho, but we truly internally recognize our errors. I believe you will eventually see, in ti, what we have contributed to atone for our wrong choices."
"You don’t need to do this. Over the years, I haven’t done much for you, and now you don’t need to repay . We still have no relationship between us. Even if you are my son, what does it matter? The mont you left, you severed all father-son ties!
The mont you turned away heartlessly and left, I will never forget that departing figure. You never looked back, showing no fondness for this ho whatsoever. You left decisively, abandoning everything here, thinking you’d never return. Yet unexpectedly, you still ended up begging to co back!
I have to admit, if it weren’t for your car accident, this serious incident, if it weren’t because I felt slightly sorry for your son deep inside, if it weren’t to let you peacefully heal, how could I possibly have agreed to let you return to this ho?
The mistakes you made, I can never forgive in my lifeti. Why must you repeatedly degrade yourself, continually begging for our forgiveness? Doesn’t that make you feel too humble?
A man should live uprightly. How can you kneel over minor things or cry over unhappiness? Real n do not easily shed tears. Do you still consider yourself a man now?
From the mont you decided to return to this ho, abandoning your dignity, kneeling, and begging for our forgiveness, my respect for you has completely dissipated. You are not even a fraction as worthy as your son, who could reach the pinnacle of his life through his efforts. You cannot!
He never begged anyone in such a deaning manner, but you, who have you ever really begged? Do you really consider if I am significant to you at all? Will others really regard you as their most important person just because you ask them to? They certainly will not.
You would give everything for your wife, and I understand that because all of us have experienced such deep emotions, which are not easily abandoned. However, this does not an you can excuse your past mistakes for your wife. Don’t you think this is too unfair, pushing all the responsibility onto her?
I know you considered taking responsibility, but you never took that step because deep down, you feel it’s unfair for you alone to bear the mistakes. It would be fairer if she shared so of the burden..."
