Married at First Sight Chapter 5222
“Grandpa and Grandma are practically living off you now. They always need your money for everything. Why are you giving us so much money? You should save it for your wedding.”
“Grandpa and Grandma also have pensions. It’s not much, but it’s enough, and we can even save a little.”
The two elders had saved up money to leave for Yangyang.
Yangyang didn’t need their money, but it was a small token of their love as grandparents.
Zhou Yang insisted on putting the money in his grandparents’ hands, apologetically saying, “I don’t have time to go home and visit you. You miss me and have to come to my company. I’m so unfilial.”
“If Grandpa and Grandma don’t accept my money, I’ll feel even more guilty and remorseful. Please take it. I’ll have enough money for my wedding.”
Only after he said this did the two elders accept his money.
Grandma Zhou even said he was giving too much, saying five thousand each would be enough.
Yangyang saw the two elders off from his office, all the way out of the office building, and arranged for his driver to take them home.
Before getting on the bus, Grandma Zhou held Zhou Yang’s hand and said, “Yangyang, there’s something I’ve thought about and I still need to remind you.”
“What is it?”
“Your aunt wants to introduce you to a girlfriend. If you don’t like her, don’t worry about her. If she comes looking for you after she finds out you’re back, just ignore her.”
Zhou Yang smiled, “Grandma, I know.”
He’d still give his grandparents face; when they came, he’d entertain them no matter how busy he was.
But his aunt? Even if he was bored out of his mind, he wouldn’t want to see her. His
aunt was truly incorrigible.
Yangyang was genuinely annoyed with his aunt.
He knew perfectly well what she wanted from introducing him to a girlfriend, what her intentions were.”Don’t take it too hard on your aunt. That’s just how she is, she can’t change. For your grandparents’ sake, just ignore her,”
Grandma Zhou said, worried that her grandson might harm her daughter.
“Grandma, I know,”
Zhou Yang replied.
He certainly wouldn’t be so petty as to retaliate against his aunt.
Occasionally, when he returned to the Zhou family home and his aunt was at her parents’ house, he would patiently listen to her nagging and buy her some things, but it was impossible for her to get any benefits from him. It was
also impossible for him to arrange high-paying, easy jobs for his cousins.
Whether it was the Lu Group or his own company, entry required merit; he, as the boss, wouldn’t let relatives use connections.
Zhou Yang knew his two cousins’ abilities very well.
They couldn’t even be competent as ordinary employees at the Lu Group; their education wasn’t high—neither had a university degree, only a junior college diploma, which wasn’t considered high either.
Of the three children from his aunt’s family, only his cousin’s career has progressed somewhat, and her husband’s family is considered decent.
Zhou Yang helped his grandmother into the car.
He reminded the driver to drive slowly, as the elderly couple shouldn’t drive fast.
The driver drove off with the Zhou family elders.
Zhou Yang stood in the office building watching the car drive out of the Lu Group before turning back, taking out his phone to make a call as he walked.
After taking the elevator upstairs and returning to his office, Zhou Yang processed a few more documents. Only after the driver dropped off the elders at home and returned did Zhou Yang leave work and head to the Guancheng Hotel to meet a client.
