Zhang Zhentian, although he had long known that his son cared deeply about his own father, he had never thought that his son would disregard his own biological father to such an extent, for the sake of his grandfather. What on earth did he, as a father, count for in his son’s eyes? Was he really worth nothing? Having made mistakes, does that really an he doesn’t deserve forgiveness? He truly realized his faults, having reflected on them ti and again deep within himself; he never considered how he should bear the responsibility for each action he took.
Ti and again, all the mistakes he had committed inevitably hurt everyone deeply. Were his actions and his heart truly unforgivable? All he had ever wanted was simple, yet throughout his life, he never achieved the outco he most desired. Instead, he repeatedly got hurt and brought sorrow to his family.
"Yichen, can you tell your father what I truly amount to in your heart? Am I just soone you can casually scold? Have you never really regarded as your father? Do you know how much the words you said today have hurt ? All I have for you is sincerity, I don’t ask for much. You are my son; above all, I just hope that my child could be happy and safe. But what was all that I did for? Don’t even the most basic benefits reach your eyes? I don’t ask for much, but why do you repeatedly doubt that as a father, I return ho with ulterior motives?
Back in this ho, have you heard demanding any unreasonable requests? Have I ever asked to fight over anything in the house, any property, or demanded apologies from you? I have truly wished to return to this family, I have put aside all my pride and knelt before you. You are my son, I have already kneeled down, what more do you want from ?
I know that one should think thrice before acting, but you pressuring aggressively, what good does it bring you? You drive a family mber to despair; do you truly feel no guilt deep inside, no sadness, no pain? We are all family; repeatedly forcing and everyone else, you know it hurts deep inside, but about , every ti you set challenges for and shut out, does my heart not ache at all? I am not a Saint; I can’t remain indifferent to the pain my own family causes , nor can I just smile and speak carelessly to you. That, I truly cannot do.
You have studied for so many years; you should understand that it’s impossible to be completely heartless. Does everything I’ve done really appear to you as utterly ritless, while only bringing you imnse pain and hurt? I truly don’t understand what I should do to make you, my son, truly acknowledge my presence in your heart as part of the family and to not reject ti and again.
The words I said to your grandfather today were not excessive, what I want is just a stable life. Was what I did really bullying him? What exactly do you an by ’bullying’? I don’t understand!"
Zhang Yichen didn’t want to say so much to her father, regardless of whether her father understood the aning of these words, but under no circumstances should one bully Old Master Zhang, bullying one’s own grandfather is even more painful than bullying oneself. She can take it as if nothing happened because she is his child and he can freely scold or beat her, but not the grandfather, he is his father, and more importantly, he is the benefactor who raised her through hardship.
"You are my father, I know, and there are so things that as a younger generation I really shouldn’t have said those words that made you feel hurt and humiliated. I am here now apologizing to you, I’m sorry. But no matter what, the grandfather is innocent. He has sacrificed too much over the years, enduring all the public pressure just to keep the family affairs flowing smoothly, allowing you all to co back to this family happily. Now that he has let go of everything and forgiven you, allowing you to return to this family, it is not just for my sake, but because deep down he too hopes that you can co back ho. But your actions have been too hurtful to him, every word you said to him I have heard, and I have never seen him cry such tears of sorrow. Yet this ti your coming back has brought him such an outco, how can I believe your sincerity in returning?"
