Chapter 2054: Chapter 1847: Meaning
In fact, there are many things whose ending I did not foresee, but I still know the meaning of existence!
Zhang Ni couldn’t understand what his grandfather’s words really meant. After all, he was still very young and hadn’t experienced marriage; he didn’t know what the greatest betrayal in marriage was. Seeing his father’s shocked face, his normally resolute father became so dazed after just a few words from him. Could the situation really be that serious? Have they truly reached an irreparable outcome?
"Although I don’t know what really happened between you and my mother, I also hope that you only say these things to me; never speak of them to others again. Perhaps it won’t have much effect when spoken to me, since I’m your child and would never spread words that harm you. I have to consider the family’s reputation, but if you tell others, the outcome could be completely different, potentially bringing significant damage to the entire family’s honor!
Actually, I also know that the reason you haven’t told anyone is that you want to protect the family’s honor. Otherwise, how could you endure such grievances to this extent? This matter is not as simple as you think, nor do you love my mother as much as you imagine. After these experiences, there is inevitably a barrier between you. Perhaps you can easily eradicate these barriers, or perhaps you’ll never be able to in this lifetime.
When you shared these things with me today, did you ever consider that I might betray you, saying harsh words that only bring you embarrassment? But seeing you like this, I couldn’t utter any heartless words. I don’t know why, but I just hope you can live happily, sincerely treating my mother well.
Regardless of whether my mother loves you or how she chooses to act towards you, the family, and your marriage, I believe she never does anything intentionally. She easily makes mistakes without considering the consequences, always acting recklessly. She believes that since you are capable of handling her, no matter what she does, you can both tolerate and forgive her. But she didn’t expect that this matter would create a divide between you two, so maybe she wouldn’t have acted as she did back then.
I hope that you don’t let grandpa know about this. If he knew, it would be something he couldn’t accept deep inside. You care so much about your face, so I hope you can handle things well, so casually proving everything is wrong."
Zhang Ni couldn’t comprehend the meaning behind his father’s words, and he didn’t dare to ask. He could only watch anxiously, seeing his father and grandfather in a back and forth exchange, with no room for him to intervene.
"Don’t worry, I only told you about this today and no one else, because I understand this relates to my wife’s reputation. I can’t just disregard my wife.
Despite so many issues that even family members might overlook, I have to care because she is my wife. No matter where or when, abandoning her is not an option. She once accompanied me in wandering the world, proving that at least back then, she was genuine in wanting to spend a lifetime with me. No matter what upheaval happened later, or what decisions she made, I can only face it candidly. I have no reason, nor any right, to escape. The damage may be significant for anyone, but personally, I hope that pain remains within me, unchanged by any events throughout this life."
"You all might not understand why I chose to do what I did, and perhaps there’s no point in expressing it. You probably think I’m too foolish and naive, believing that even if I give my all, I’m nothing in your mother’s eyes, and that I could never sincerely spend my life with him. But that’s just who I am; others don’t understand me, but I have a clear conscience. As long as I can be true to my heart, to Heaven and Earth, to my parents, and will have my own children, it proves I’ve truly lived with a clear conscience."
Zhang Yichen sighed. From the start, he knew his father deeply loved his mother. However, upon hearing his father’s words today, he still found it hard to believe. Was this really his father? Why did he love his mother so much to this extent? To him, his father’s ideal woman.
Reflecting on his own actions, had he treated his wife rightly? What had he done for himself? What did he do in return? Now, living in this condition and relying on these things to sustain his life, could he really be without fault? Time and again broadcasting every error to the world, letting everyone see his parents’ faults — were his actions truly without error?
"I’ve always been aware of your love for my mother, but I never reached your level of affection. But the fact that you can endure such disgrace leaves me unsure whether to call you foolish or naive. Do you honestly believe this would gain a woman’s trust? Even if you handed her your heart, if she doesn’t love you, she won’t stay for you or change for you. If a woman is willing to change everything for you, it means you alone reside in her heart. But should you hurt her while she’s vulnerable, it only proves you don’t genuinely love her. You only hurt her. Everyone should treat others with the same sincerity. Destroying another person based on personal motivations only makes one’s actions seem extreme!"
The empty memory suddenly filled with everything about you!
