Married at First Sight Chapter 5188
Beibei laughed, “My dad isn’t old, he’s still very young. When we go shopping, people think we’re siblings, they don’t realize we’re father and daughter.”
“My mom isn’t old either, both of you are still very young. Dad, don’t think about retiring, work a few more years, let my older brother get more familiar with things before retiring.”
Beibei felt sorry for her older brother; once their parents retired, the company’s affairs would fall entirely on his shoulders.
Although their father was semi-retired, he still managed things and went back to the company for half a day, making things easier for her brother.
“Your older brother is already very familiar with things, and everyone trusts him. Besides, Su Meng is helping him. You don’t need to feel sorry for your older brother; he’s much more capable than your dad was in his youth.”
“Dad remembers I took over the family business at your older brother’s age too.”
Zachary’s words were filled with affirmation and satisfaction for his son. His son was capable, able to take over, not the kind of spoiled brat who only knew how to indulge in pleasure. He finally saw hope for a successful retirement.
Like his father Su Nan, Su Meng didn’t work for the family company but joined the Zhan Group. He and Zhan Muchen grew up together, childhood friends and best buddies.
Their friendship was similar to that of Zachary and Su Nan.
Su Meng helped Zhan Muchen, partly because of their deep brotherly bond, and partly because he considered Zhan Muchen his brother-in-law—a brother-in-law whose coattails he had to cling to.
Zhan Muchen was very unhappy that his only sister was being taken away by Su Meng, but in Dongguan, Su Meng was the only one worthy of his sister.
It was still unclear what Bei Bei’s feelings were for Su Meng; all that was known was that she didn’t dislike him. Whether it was sibling affection or childhood sweetheart love was unknown.
Bei Bei was still young, and the Zhan family wouldn’t let her marry at such a young age; they would keep her for at least another five or six years. Su Meng, well, there was still a long way to go.
“How are your sixth uncle and aunt?”
Zachary asked about his brother. “When will they have time to come back for a get-together? What about the Zhan brothers?”
“My sixth uncle and aunt are both very nice, everyone is very nice. Little Fifteen has wanted to go back for a long time. Fifth Brother said that my younger brothers will come over in a few days, and we’ll wait for them to come and play for a while before going back to Dongguan together.”
Zachary laughed, “That’s right, Nineteen came back from kindergarten at noon. As soon as he got home, he found out you went to your sixth uncle’s place, and he cried so loudly that no one could comfort him.”
“In the end, he had to call you, and that’s how he stopped crying. I was thinking that if he kept crying, your mother and I wouldn’t go back to the old house.”
“Your seventh uncle’s two younger brothers have caught a cold and won’t be back so soon. Your seventh uncle said he was afraid they would infect you when they came back, so he ordered them to see a doctor and take medicine, and they can only come back when they stop sneezing.”
“Zachary, you’ve talked to our daughter for so long, shouldn’t you let me talk to her now? Our daughter was going to call me, but I hadn’t even said two words before you snatched my phone.”
Serenity demanded her husband’s phone back.
Zachary reluctantly handed the phone back to his wife, reminding his daughter, “Beibei, you must call Mom and Dad every day, okay? They’ll miss you terribly.”
“Okay, I’ll think of Mom and Dad too,”
Beibei replied, inwardly thinking, “Dad’s just saying that.”
Her parents were incredibly happy that they weren’t home; they could finally enjoy some alone time.
They’d been married for over twenty years, almost thirty, and their love was as strong as a first love, truly enviable.
In their eyes, their parents were true love, and they were just a bonus with a phone plan.
Their mother was always their father’s top priority, something they could never surpass.
Of course, Beibei hoped her parents could live happily ever after for decades, and live as long as her great-grandmother.
