Married at First Sight Chapter 5217
Grandma Zhou said, “That’s Yangyang’s business. His parents are both alive and well, and they can take care of him. I’m too old to worry about his life’s important matters.”
“Hongying, you don’t need to worry about Yangyang’s marriage either. He won’t like the girls you introduce. Don’t interfere, lest Yangyang be unhappy.”
She was kindly reminding her daughter
not to try to control Yangyang’s life.
They couldn’t control him when he was a few years old, let alone now that he’s in his early thirties.
Yangyang is now the CEO of several companies, very capable, and even harder to control.
Even Liberty probably couldn’t manage Yangyang’s life.
Grandma Zhou also knew that young people these days have their own ideas.
More and more young people don’t want to get married.
When they go back to their hometown, they always hear people talking about how so-and-so’s son is still single at such-and-such age, or how so-and-so’s daughter is over thirty and still unmarried.
Of course, Grandma Zhou still hopes her grandson will get married and have children soon, so she can become a great-grandmother.
Now that her grandson is wealthy and willing to spend money on them, Old Mrs. Zhou hopes to live to a ripe old age like the old lady of the Zhan family and see her great-grandson grow up.
“His parents have no time for him. Liberty is so busy every day, and she and Young Master Lu have another child; their focus is all on her daughter.”
“Not to mention Honglin. As his aunt, I have to worry a lot. Yangyang is my only nephew; who else should I worry about?”
“The girls I introduce are all excellent. I know Yangyang is outstanding and has high standards, so I always pick the best for him.”
“As long as he’s willing to meet the girl, I guarantee he’ll like her.”
Zhou Hongying is very confident in her judgment.
Yangyang resembles his mother; Liberty was very beautiful when she was young, and now Yangyang is a handsome young man.Privately, he was gentle and refined, and girls couldn’t help but stare at him.
Zhou Hongying always boasted to others about how outstanding and handsome her nephew was,
even though their relationship wasn’t good.
If she had known Yangyang would end up like this, Zhou Hongying would have cherished him more.
Alas, who knew?
There’s no such thing as knowing beforehand.
“Mom, you have Yangyang’s phone number, right? You definitely have it. Call him and tell him to come back for a blind date. I can arrange when he comes back,”
Zhou Hongying asked her elderly mother to contact Yangyang.
Knowing her number, Yangyang wouldn’t answer.
Grandma Zhou said, “I won’t call. Yangyang doesn’t need blind dates. If he wants to get married, there are plenty of girls who want to marry him.”
“Mom, the problem is he doesn’t want to get married. If he doesn’t want to get married, we, as elders, should urge him. We can’t let him continue to be so willful.”
“When you’re young, living alone is great. No burdens, you earn your own money and spend it as you please, free and easy. But what about when you get older? Even if you have money, can money put food on the table?”
“Hire a caregiver? There are plenty of toxic caregivers out there. They could kill you in a minute and seize your assets.”
“Go to a nursing home? Nursing homes treat elderly people who have children who visit often much better. If you don’t have children who visit, the people in nursing homes won’t treat you well.”
“Do you really think money can solve everything? When that time comes, you won’t even have anyone to pour you a glass of water. Then you’ll know you’ve regretted it.”
Grandma Zhou was bombarded by her daughter’s barrage of questions and was almost overwhelmed. She quickly said, “Hongying, I can’t talk to you anymore. Your dad has already walked quite a distance. I’m going to catch up with him.”
With that, she hung up the phone without giving her daughter a chance to speak again.
