Chapter 226: An Opportunity
Jiang Tao later and Zishan familiar with, although she knew that she is that in the pedestrian street and he grabbed the microphone woman, but how can not pinch the two figures and together, later Zishan naturally has her own charm, but is less a sharp. It’s not that Zixan is too soft on Feng Dayong and those people, but he just feels that Zixan is less than that day. Today, he saw the Zixan who grabbed the microphone on the street and accused Feng Dayong and Liu Yun.
He gave Zi Shan a gentle nod as he gave her the water, signaling that he was supporting her. It was true that Zi Shan had done nothing wrong, everyone’s marriage was different, and everyone had to deal with life differently, and it took a husband and wife working together to keep going, to make life better and better – both husband and wife had something to give in the process! If a husband really loves his wife, how can he let his wife, who gives to the family and to him, be out of touch with society?
Zishan took the water, “Thank you.” After a gulp of water, she exhaled, “You have nothing to say, do you? If you don’t have anything to say, get the hell out of here, I never want to see you again, and I think you understand what my words mean.” She placed the glass of water on the table, feeling a lot better now.
It was Lin Hao who caused her to be in a bad mood, it was true that having a grievance to repay a grievance came as a pain in the ass, scolding Lin Hao for a rebuttal that was powerless she was more or less out of breath, although it couldn’t let her wounded heart heal or reduce her pain, but it could say a little bit of what she wanted to say, and her heart wouldn’t contract so tightly anymore.
Anping looked at Zi Shan is also extremely surprised, and then reached out to hold Zi Shan’s hand: “You’re right, how can it be our women’s fault, we have worked hard, we pay, why do you want to blame us? How much does this kind of blaming help divorced women, it really doesn’t help much, what they need is support and care, blaming them will only make them more unsure of themselves, more unsure of their future lives.”
“I’m not wrong.” She stared at Lin Hao and said it out loud, “The hidden marriage was my idea, but we discussed it and you agreed to it, and it’s not that I don’t want a child, it’s just that I want to be two years late when the critical moment of my career comes. I even told you that I would quit my job two years later, why can’t you wait two more years?”
Lin Hao’s eyes reddened, not realizing that Zi Shan would speak up for An Ping, refuting him so much that he couldn’t say a single word, and saying anything else would only make him seem like even less of a thing, but was that in fact the case? Zi Shan does not know but An Ping himself knows best, how can she be so justified to speak to himself like this: “Wait two more years? How many times have you said that to me, and how many times have I waited for you? Yes, Zi Shan is right, I do have concerns about your reputation, but as long as you’re willing to have a child and return to your family, I could still care less about the rumors.”
“But you made me wait again and again, and after this unexpected pregnancy do you know how happy I was, and how guilty I felt? I wanted to explain everything to Zixan right then and there, to apologize deeply to her and then leave Lanshui City to start everything over again, but what about you, what was your choice, you came to tell the people in this room not to act like there was not a single thing wrong with you.”
He glared at Anping, “I didn’t approve of you wanting an abortion after your unexpected pregnancy, did I? But what did you do, to actually sneak off by yourself to have an abortion without my consent, and then get a life-threatening hemorrhage, informing me that I had to rush over-other than that, have you really ever respected me or thought about our future? In your heart, your reputation, your career are all much heavier than our child, our future.”
Speaking here, he glanced at Zi Shan who was a bit surprised: “Indeed, everything is my fault, I should not have pursued Zi Shan when I was still married to An Ping, so this matter is my fault, no matter it is to An Ping, or Zi Shan, I have to say I am sorry, even though apologizing can’t make up for anything. But, Anping you know very well why we have come to this point.”
An Ping bit her lip and lowered her head, there were some things that were indeed her fault and not Lin Hao’s to blame, if she wasn’t so bent on not wanting her own flesh and blood in her womb for the sake of her so-called career aspirations, she wouldn’t have gotten a hemorrhage and almost lost her life – she was well aware of how much Lin Hao wanted the child in her womb but she resolutely went for an abortion.
Lin Hao looked at her and let out a long breath, “I admit that it’s my fault, but there’s one thing I want to make clear, even if there’s no Zisan during that time, I won’t be a couple with you anymore after your miscarriage, even if I can barely keep it up for a while, sooner or later, I’ll leave. I’m, well, tired.”
He let out a long sigh, “So whether you accept my apology or not, and whether I can get Zixan’s forgiveness or not, we’re divorced for sure, and everything we have is yours to do with whatever you want, I’m just very clear that I won’t and can’t move on with you anymore. My apologies to you can only be expressed or compensated with money, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”
Anping turned away without saying anything, things had come to this point and there was indeed nothing more to say, she and he, it was impossible to turn back.
Lin Hao glanced at Jiang Tao, in the end he didn’t say anything, for such a secret he lost his best friend and was hated by the woman he loved, it really wasn’t worth it.
“Zi Shan, I’m sorry.” He gritted his teeth or said to Zi Shan, even if he knew that tonight Zi Shan would not forgive him, but let him leave without saying anything, let Zi Shan annoyed at his words he really can’t do it, at least, he has to let Zi Shan’s heart a little gap ah, because he really loves Zi Shan.
The first time I saw her, I was so happy to see her, but she didn’t want to say a word to Lin Hao about herself and Lin Hao, because mentioning even a single word would make her feel pain.
Lin Hao looked at Zi Shan’s calm face and knew that nothing he could say would be enough to make Zi Shan forgive him, but he really couldn’t live without Zi Shan, he loved Zi Shan so much, and there would never be another person in the world who loved Zi Shan as much as he did. He lowered his head and looked at his feet, stepped back and suddenly landed on his knees in front of Zi Shan’s bed!
Chu Xiang was startled, “You, what are you doing?” She didn’t expect Lin Hao, a big man in front of everyone was willing to kneel down to Zi Shan, at this moment she somewhat believed Lin Hao’s words, Lin Hao might really not be something, but his love for Zi Shan shouldn’t be all lies.
Jiang Tao’s brows furrowed, “Lin Hao, you really shouldn’t be like this ……”
“You shut up. This is between me and Zi Shan, don’t think that after my secret is revealed, I’ll just leave like this leaving Zi Shan in your care. I don’t trust you, Jiang Tao.” Lin Hao looked at Jiang Tao, “If I really believed that you could take care of Zi Shan, I would have left without a word, but you can’t put my mind at ease.”
Jiang Tao’s mouth closed not responding to Lin Hao’s questioning, but Chu Xiang stood up for her, “What qualifications do you have to say Jiang Tao? When Zi Shan was in need, which time wasn’t Jiang Tao by her side? When Zi Shan was sick, Jiang Tao was there, when Zi Shan was in shock, Jiang Tao was there, and even when Zi Shan’s life was in danger, only Jiang Tao was there – where are you, the one who can take care of Zi Shan?”
Now everyone knew where Lin Hao went when he wasn’t there, but no one would pick that apart when An Ping was there, in fact, Chu Xiang was also a straightforward person, or else she wouldn’t have questioned Lin Hao in front of An Ping.
Lin Hao looked at Anping, “I’m sorry.” Then he looked at Chu Xiang’s eyes and said decisively, “That was once upon a time, in the future, I will always guard Zi Shan’s side, and there will never be anything like that again. As for me saying that Jiang Tao can’t take good care of Zi Shan, there’s a reason for that – he doesn’t even dare to face his feelings for Zi Shan, can he take good care of Zi Shan?”
“He doesn’t dare to say that he likes Zi Shan, and he’s backed off because of his own birth mother’s problems, so can he really take care of Zi Shan like that? He doesn’t even have confidence in himself, Chu Xiang why do you have so much confidence in him?” He looks at Jiang Tao’s eyes, “Do you dare to say a word of fondness to Zi Shan? Do you dare?”
Jiang Tao stared at Lin Hao’s eyes, “There’s too much going on today, if you really care about Zi Shan you should let her rest, anything should wait until Zi Shan can accept it.” It wasn’t that he didn’t dare to say it, but that he couldn’t say it now, right now Zi Shan’s mood was extremely complicated, and his confession at this moment would just make Zi Shan’s pressure even greater.
Lin Hao no longer pay attention to him after hearing his words, looked at Zi Shan and found that Zi Shan’s eyes had opened, after gently gasping for a few breaths, he looked at Zi Shan: “I know I’m wrong, but I really love you, please give me another chance, okay? I will never …… again,” he really wanted to let Zi Shan know that he didn’t mean to lie to her, really wanted to let Zi Shan know that he loved her.
Zishan interrupted him, her tone calm but with a few cold, “You shut your mouth.” She couldn’t help but close her eyes as she said this, as some tears were about to come out, not tears of sadness but tears of anger, she could barely contain herself.
“I’m begging you, Zi Shan, give me a chance, I’ll prove it to you,” Lin Hao knelt on the ground and took two steps on his knees to Zi Shan’s face, “I swear that I’ll never lie to you again, once upon a time there were too many unavoidable things with various reasons mingled together with the helplessness, and today, with everything picked out in the open. Today, everything has been clarified, and everything will be resolved and ended. Zixan, I’m about to be free, give me a chance, I beg you.”
He had never begged before, let alone begged on his knees, but he was really sorry for Zi Shan, besides this way he didn’t know what else to do to salvage a little bit of Zi Shan’s heart. Even if he could just make Zi Shan’s heart soften a little, let Zi Shan develop some intolerance towards him, he thought kneeling would be worth it.
The days ahead are still long, tonight is to let Zi Shan understand his true feelings, in Zi Shan’s heart to plant a seed, he will have the opportunity to water and fertilize this seed.
