Chapter 2358: Chapter 2191: Auditory Hallucination

After all the twists and turns, I finally let my parents return home.

Zhang Yichen thought he must have misheard; how could his wife say such words to him? But he later realized it was not a mistake. This was indeed what his wife said. As he watched his wife leave right in front of him, disappearing from his sight, his heart was unbearably heavy. But what could he do? This was something he did himself, and he had to bear the consequences. If he had known earlier that this matter would cause such a big reaction from his wife, he definitely wouldn’t have agreed so easily to his father-in-law and mother-in-law’s demands. Now, all of this is the bitter fruit he sowed. Could he really expect someone else to pay for the debt he incurred?

Old Master Zhang heard his grandson and granddaughter-in-law fighting upstairs. He knew this issue must have come to light. The two were already in a fierce argument. Apart from this matter, what else could make his gentle daughter-in-law so furious?

Ran Zhihan bumped into Old Master Zhang as she went downstairs. Old Master Zhang said to Ran Zhihan: "My good daughter-in-law, don’t act on impulse. Your husband had his reasons for doing this. He also wanted to prove how much he loves you and wants to live with you, which is why he had to agree to their demands. Since you’ve become husband and wife, you should understand each other, not quarrel and let outsiders laugh at you! You also know this matter is wrong on his part, causing great harm and imbalance in your heart. But you should also understand his good intentions. If he didn’t do this, how could he be with you? How would your parents ever agree to marry you to my grandson? Are you two really planning to be separated forever because of your parents? You know how painful it is for two happy people not to be together. Could you really bear to see your husband in lifelong agony because you can’t be together? Could you really bear to watch him waste away, unable to eat or sleep? I believe this isn’t the outcome you wish to see because I can tell how much you care about him. It’s precisely because you care that you can’t bear to see him agreeing to your parents’ requests, right?"

Ran Zhihan felt extremely upset after hearing Old Master Zhang’s words. Why could her grandfather understand her so well and yet her husband couldn’t? She couldn’t understand. This matter was so simple, yet it seemed so complicated in her husband’s eyes. Did he think that just to be with her, he could agree to any demand? She didn’t want to marry such a person. She hoped for honesty and transparency from her husband, not a life filled with secrets and deception. She didn’t want this.

"Grandfather, I wish my husband could understand me as you do. We’ve been in love for so many years and finally reached this point. I wish we could happily and joyfully build our world together. But today I found out he agreed to such big demands from my parents. That night while I was outside, he chose to hide this from me, proving he didn’t want to tell me. I know he has his reasons for this, but I’m his wife. Is there anything between a husband and wife that can’t be shared? How long does he plan to keep this from me? If I hadn’t overheard your conversation, was he planning to never tell me? What I care about isn’t material; I care about my beloved being open and honest with me. But they can’t even do the basic minimum, making me feel that our happiness doesn’t mean as much to him as I imagined. I placed so much importance on it, even went against my parents for him, willing to leave home. But he, to be with me, agreed to my parents’ unreasonable request, forbidding me from having children within three years. Grandfather, I believe deep down you wish to see love’s fruition between your grandson and me soon, right? I believe you can’t accept the decision your grandson made. My heart is in that state now, unable to bear its consequences. I trusted him so much and hoped for our love’s fruition, but why did he do this? Was it because of love? Does love justify reckless mistakes? I gave him all my trust, and in return, what did he give me? I never thought he would treat me this way. Is there any point in repeated lies? I valued him so much, yet he agreed to my parents’ unreasonable demands. If he had told me earlier, none of this would have happened between us. But what does he think? Besides hiding, what else did he plan? Didn’t he ever think of telling me the truth? I gave him a chance. That night when he told me those words, I asked him why, but he didn’t answer. If he chose to hide it from me initially, then we shouldn’t continue being together now. I feel it’s meaningless. We’ve just finished our honeymoon, so a divorce now wouldn’t be good because of public opinion. I don’t want our relationship to affect Zhang Corporation’s future. I don’t want our feelings to affect grandfather’s reputation. Grandfather, I hope you won’t tell him about these things. I’ll be staying at a friend’s for a few days; I don’t want to return home to sleep on the same bed with him. Since deception was his choice from the start, my heart feels uncomfortable. I can’t accept this happening to me. Yet it happened; heaven still let it happen to me, which I can’t bear. Maybe a temporary departure is the best solution."

And hence, I lost the one I love most!
