Married at First Sight Chapter 5237 - 5240

“Our son isn’t thinking about marriage yet, so we don’t need to rush him. Let nature take its course,”

Hai Tong said, unhurried.

Both her children are excellent; her son won’t have trouble finding a wife, and her daughter won’t have trouble finding one.

If her son wanted to get married, plenty of girls would line up to marry him.

“Yangyang should be thinking about it now. Keep an eye out for suitable matches and introduce him to someone. My sister hasn’t said anything, but she’s been telling me privately to keep an eye on Yangyang.”

Zhou Yang is over thirty, and not only are his relatives urging him, but

his family also hopes he’ll get married and have children soon. He’s their only son.

Regardless of the past, the Zhou family now genuinely loves and cares for Zhou Yang.

Even his stepmother, Ye Jianni, tries her best to make up for it and wants the best for him.

“My brother Yangyang is too picky. He doesn’t like any of those rich young ladies in Dongguan. He only likes strong women like my Yan Yan,”

Bao Bao said. “It’s a pity that Sister Yan Yan is being watched closely by Brother Ouyang, so my brother Yangyang doesn’t have a chance.”

Hai Tong laughed, “Your cousin doesn’t have romantic feelings for Yan Yan. They’re just friends, like siblings.”

They’ve all grown up together since childhood.

They’re incredibly close.

Zhou Yang said it’s hard to make a move on someone you know too well, and besides, he really doesn’t have any romantic feelings for Jun Yan.

Long Ting had tested Zhou Yang before, saying that if Zhou Yang liked Jun Yan, Long Ting could help him, as he trusted Zhou Yang’s character.

Long Ting just doesn’t like Ouyang. Ouyang has been watching his precious sister since she was little, so it’s no wonder he can’t stand her.

Even though he knows that besides Ouyang, not many men have the guts to marry Jun Yan,

he still likes to put Ouyang down a few times.

“Yangyang has met quite a few strong women…” Hai Tong didn’t finish her sentence.

Zhou Yang had met many successful women, but those who had risen to the rank of CEO and were qualified to negotiate cooperation with the Lu Group were all older.

There weren’t many successful women of Zhou Yang’s age.He doesn’t love Junyan, but he admires her and uses her as a standard for choosing a partner. Hmm, that’s quite hard to find.

“Don’t think too much about it. Let nature take its course. When his destiny comes, he will get married. God will definitely arrange a good girl for him.”

“Alright, let’s stop talking. You two, father and son, go ahead and do your work. I’ll wait for you over there.”

With that, Serenity got up and walked to the sofa in the reception area. After putting down her cup, she casually picked up

a magazine from under the coffee table and started flipping through it. Zachary’s office was constantly changing its magazines.

He knew she liked reading them.

It was also to help her pass the time while waiting for him.

Zachary didn’t nag anymore and resumed discussing work with his son.

At 6:30 in the evening, the family of three finally left the office building.

The baby naturally got into his parents’ car. Zachary turned to look at his son but ultimately said nothing.

“Mom, did Beibei call back?”

The baby pretended not to see his father’s action.

He just liked being with his parents. What was wrong with that?

Would his father dare to kick him out of the car?

If she dared, Mom would let Dad sleep in the study at night.

“Yes, Beibei said she’s very happy and remembers we don’t need to worry about her.”

“Of course she’s happy, she can have a whole vacation. When I was in school, I always thought I’d graduate quickly, thinking graduation would be great. Now I realize studying was the best.”

The baby sighed.

When he was a student, he didn’t have to carry such a heavy burden; he only needed to study hard. Compared to the hardship of studying, the hardship of working is truly arduous—it’s too tiring.

But what can he do? He’s the eldest son and grandson.His younger siblings were still too young to shoulder the responsibility, and with his parents getting older, as the eldest son, he naturally had to take on the burden so his siblings could do what they wanted.

Fortunately, his favorite thing to do was make money, so he had no objection to taking on the responsibility.

“It was so much fun when you were a baby,”

Zachary said to his son.

“Yeah, it was so much fun when I was a baby, truly carefree, not having to think about anything, just eating, drinking, playing, and fighting with Dad for Mom.”

Zachary: “…”

This kid was deliberately trying to annoy him.

Hai Tong smiled and urged Zachary to drive: “Let’s drive, Yangyang is waiting for us.”

“Baby, don’t always argue with your dad.”

Zhan Muchen laughed: “Who told Dad to be so stingy, always monopolizing my mom? Mom belongs to me and Beibei!”

“You brat, without me, there wouldn’t be you two.”

Zachary chuckled and scolded his son.

It wasn’t that his son disrespected him as a father, nor that he didn’t love his son.

That’s how the father and son got along.

The family of three went to the Dongcheng Grand Hotel, where Yangyang was waiting in the lobby on the first floor.

Seeing them enter, Yangyang stood up to greet them.

“Auntie, Uncle, Baby!”

Yangyang smiled and clapped his hands with his cousin.

“Long time no see

,” Zhan Muchen said with a smile. “It really has been a long time. Cousin is a very busy man, so busy that it’s difficult for us to even see you.”

“There’s nothing I can do about it. I’m busy, and you’re busy too, so we just don’t have time to meet.”
Zhou Yang casually put his arm around his cousin’s shoulder. “I’m in Dongguan these days. Whenever we’re free, we can get together for hot pot and drinks.”

“Let’s invite Su Meng too.”

“Su Meng? He asked for leave.”

“Leave? Why? Oh, he’s going to H City, right? Bei Bei only went there a couple of days ago, and he’s already going with her.”

Yangyang laughed, “I’m worried his position will be in jeopardy after the summer vacation.”

“That’s right. I didn’t agree, but he used both soft and hard tactics. I was so annoyed by him that I finally gave him ten days to half a month’s leave to go see Bei Bei. I’ve always considered him a brother, but he wants to be my brother-in-law.”

Su Meng said when he was six that he wanted to marry Bei Bei when he grew up.

His parents were overjoyed and wholeheartedly agreed.

He also often stayed at the Zhan family’s house, playing with the baby, their brotherly bond was strong, and he was also there to watch Bei Bei grow up.

Shen Xiaojun had laughed in front of Hai Tong, saying that her eldest son had been given to Hai Tong to be raised as her son-in-law, and that when the couple went to the Zhan family to take their son home, he refused. ”

We can only raise her as Serenity’s son-in-law. ”

Yangyang laughed heartily.

“A-Meng is good enough for our Beibei, but Beibei is still young. We’ll have to keep her for at least seven or eight years. Let Su Meng wait patiently. He’s already waited for over ten years, what’s a few more?”

Zhan Muchen thought of his precious younger sister, who was only twenty-two and had only one sister. The elders in the family would definitely not allow her to marry so early,

even though the Su family lived very close to the Zhan family. They

couldn’t bear to part with her.

Zachary, having only one daughter, wished

he could find a son-in-law to live with them. If he were to suggest finding a son-in-law, Su Nan and his wife would wholeheartedly agree. After all, they had a second son, Su Meng, who had lived in the Zhan family since childhood; the Zhan family was like his second home.

If he wanted to move in, no one would object.

Su Meng would have to wait several more years, which made Zhan Muchen feel a little better.
Yangyang led Serenity and her family upstairs to the private room where he had entertained the Fu family grandfather and grandson at noon.

“Auntie, I’ll go upstairs and invite Mr. Fu and his family down. I’ve already ordered the food. See if there’s anything else you’d like to eat; we can order more.”

Serenity said, “You can order whatever you want. It’s our own hotel; we’ll eat anything you order.”

Serenity and her husband were absolutely confident and satisfied with the food at their own hotel.

“Go and invite Chairman Fu and his grandson. We’ll have some tea first.”

Zhou Yang nodded and turned to leave.

A short while later, he brought the Fu family grandfather and grandson back in.

Chairman Fu was elderly, and Serenity and her family stood up to greet them when they entered.

“Chairman Fu, President Fu.”

“Chairman Fu, I think you all know who these three are without me introducing them.”

Zhou Yang smiled and said, “My aunt and uncle, and their son, my cousin Zhan Muchen, who is now the successor of the Zhan Group.”

Chairman Fu smiled and said, “I’ve seen President Zhan and President Hai on TV, but I haven’t seen young President Zhan before.”

However, young President Zhan looks very much like President Zhan, so it’s obvious he’s the eldest son of the Zhan family.

After exchanging greetings, everyone sat down.

The hotel manager personally came to serve them, and when Zhou Yang said the food was ready, the manager immediately notified the waiters to bring it.

Since the Fu Group and the Lu Group had already signed a contract, they didn’t discuss business during the meal, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After dinner, Zachary and his son stayed at the hotel to chat with Chairman Fu, while Zhou Yang and Hai Tong took Fu Wanyu shopping.

Zhou Yang could have stayed at the hotel, but he felt that the Fu family grandfather and grandson were his guests, and it wouldn’t be right to leave them entirely to his aunt. He even felt a little guilty having his aunt accompany him, let alone entrust everything to her.

Fu Wanning didn’t buy anything; she just strolled around, looked at the sights, and enjoyed the night view of Dongguan.

She and Hai Tong chatted happily, and when they returned to the hotel after 10 p.m., Fu Wanning was already affectionately holding Hai Tong’s arm.

Zhou Yang followed behind the two women, feeling like a little shadow.

His aunt was incredibly charming and got along with everyone.

Now the matriarch of the Zhan family, she never put on airs; everyone said she was the most down-to-earth wealthy lady.

Zhou Yang was carrying two bags.

They contained two outfits, gifts from Hai Tong to Fu Wanning: a women’s suit that Fu Wanning had chosen herself, and a dress that Hai Tong had picked out for her.

Fu Wanning disliked wearing skirts. With a tomboyish personality and a long-standing androgynous style, she was truly unaccustomed to wearing skirts. When was the last time she wore one?

It must have been when she was four or five years old.

She remembered that after she turned six, she stopped wearing skirts. As a child, she looked more like a boy. When she went out with her grandfather or mother, people always mistook her for a little boy. When

people asked her mother if she was a boy, her mother would always smile with a hint of sadness and say that she was a girl, wishing she were a boy.

Fu Wanning knew that her mother wished she were a boy. Her mother always said that her father’s family had only one son for generations, and in her generation, she was the only girl; she had no brothers or sisters.She has no cousins, only maternal cousins, who are relatives from her mother’s side of the family.

Her father’s side of the family consists only of distant relatives, the closest being her father’s maternal uncles, with whom she doesn’t keep in close contact anymore. She

maintains frequent contact with her mother’s relatives, but Fu Wanning dislikes her aunts and uncles because they are always trying to extract benefits from the Fu family, plotting to seize and divide the Fu Group.

She’s twenty-eight and still single, which her aunts and uncles are very anxious about, constantly introducing her to boyfriends, eager to marry her off.

It’s as if marrying her off would prevent her from inheriting the Fu Group, without considering that she has already taken over the company.

Even if she marries, she will still be a member of the Fu family, and everything in the Fu family will still be hers; her maternal uncles can forget about it.

Her grandfather has privately told her that the people she needs to be most wary of are her mother’s relatives, because they are her mother’s blood relatives, and her mother is caught in the middle, making it difficult for her to be in the right place at the wrong time. Moreover, her mother is easily influenced and

can be manipulated by her siblings.

Fu Wanning was grateful that her grandfather had been her teacher since she could remember. He was thankful that her mother hadn’t remarried after her father’s early death, nor had she heeded her family’s advice to abort her. He

was even more grateful that her mother had remained a widow for over twenty years, raising her.

But her grandfather knew her mother’s temperament well. If she were raised by her mother, she might be spoiled. And if she were spoiled, how could she possibly protect the Fu Group after his passing?

If she were raised by her mother, she would be closer to her maternal and paternal relatives and obey them.

If her grandfather were gone, even if she took over the Fu Group, they would control her, and the group would gradually fall into their hands.

In the end, whether she and her mother would survive was uncertain.

Her grandfather said that sometimes, the person who hurts you the most is often the one closest to you.She was told to be wary of all her mother’s relatives. Although her grandmother’s relatives also had some ambitions, they were a generation apart and not as brazen as her mother’s relatives.

Aunt Hai said she would look beautiful in a dress and suggested she try it on for a couple of days, since she wasn’t working and could treat it as a holiday.

Under Aunt Hai’s persuasion, and because Fu Wanning really liked the dress Aunt Hai had picked out for her, she finally accepted the dress Hai Tong had given her.

It was quite late when they returned to the hotel.

Fu Wanning said to Hai Tong, feeling embarrassed, “Aunt Hai, I’ve taken up your entire evening.”

“Auntie is free in the evenings anyway. I’m very happy that you accompanied me shopping. I should be thanking you,”

Hai Tong smiled. “If you want to go shopping again tomorrow night, remember to call me. I usually don’t socialize in the evenings anymore. I’m getting old and don’t want to go out drinking.”

“Aunt Hai is still very young, not old at all. You and President Zhou look like siblings.”

“My age is what it is, I’m definitely not young anymore. Compared to you, I’m an auntie.”

“Auntie takes excellent care of herself. My mother doesn’t take as good care of herself as you, although my mother is a few years older than Aunt Hai.”

Fu Wanning was telling the truth. Her mother didn’t have much financial pressure, regularly went for beauty treatments, used the best skincare products, and drank plenty of beauty-enhancing soups. Compared to Hai Tong, she felt her mother looked ten years older.

In reality, her mother was only two years older than Hai Tong.

Fu Wanning felt that Hai Tong looked younger because Hai Tong had a happy and fulfilling life, with a beloved husband and two children, unlike her mother who had been widowed at a young age.

Her mother’s life hadn’t been easy for the past twenty-eight years.
