\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Zhan Group has a stable business, and he has many brothers, all of whom are talented and can help him share a lot of the work, so that he is not overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

After getting married, he rarely left early and returned late anymore. He used to have some health problems, but due to the heavy workload, great pressure, frequent late nights, and excessive drinking at social events, he was now much more comfortable.<\/p>\n

Later, he reduced his early mornings and late nights, reduced his social engagements and staying up late, and with his wife overseeing his meals, his health problems gradually improved.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoney, let\u2019s go to bed early and get some restful sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary said softly.<\/p>\n

If they continued talking, he was afraid his wife would feel upset because she was reminded of his short-lived parents-in-law.<\/p>\n

Serenity hummed in his arms.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the way, how are Lao Ba and Dr. Zeng?\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary asked a question, which successfully diverted his beloved wife\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Zeng hasn\u2019t fallen for him yet. Lao Ba said that we should first focus on keeping Dr. Zeng company and wait until Dr. Zeng is more familiar with him before confessing our feelings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGrandma Yin is anxious. She can\u2019t wait for the Eighth Prince to marry Dr. Zeng. The Eighth Prince\u2019s rival in love is still not giving up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary said \u201cOh,\u201d and then laughed, \u201cIt\u2019s normal for Grandma to be anxious. She\u2019s been hoping that all nine of us brothers will get married and start our own families. Now, the seventh brother is about to get married, and the eighth brother also has someone he likes, but he hasn\u2019t won her over yet. How could Grandma not be anxious?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the eighth brother and Dr. Zeng have settled down, Grandma will have to keep an eye on the ninth brother again. But the ninth brother is still a bit young and still a bit impulsive. Let\u2019s wait a few more years.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his older brothers\u2019 eyes, the ninth brother was still a child.<\/p>\n

No one will pressure him to get married.<\/p>\n

Serenity said, \u201cIn our hometown, Lao Jiu is of marriageable age. But let\u2019s not rush him. Let him have a few more years of fun. He was under the most pressure when he was studying.\u201d
\n\u201cHe hasn\u2019t achieved much yet and is still under a lot of pressure. It\u2019s not too late to urge him to get married when he\u2019s more mature and stable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Serenity\u2019s cousins \u200b\u200bfrom his hometown usually get married around 24 or 25 years old, the same age as Lao Jiu.<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t have much contact with her uncles and aunts in her hometown, but because her grandparents lived in the house built by her parents, she and her sister still had to deal with those awful relatives.<\/p>\n

After the older sister took over the Feng family in Jiangcheng, the Hai family treated the two sisters with utmost respect.<\/p>\n

Before Liberty became the head of the Feng family in Jiangcheng, the old Hai family members were only tolerant of the two sisters because they feared Zachary\u2019s power. In their hearts, they still felt that the two sisters had gotten lucky to marry into a wealthy family and were very resentful.<\/p>\n

When they learned that the third sister-in-law, whom they had been bullying, was actually a descendant of the Feng family of Jiangcheng, and seeing that the two sisters were becoming more and more authoritative, they finally changed their minds.<\/p>\n

Old Man Hai is still alive and lives in the house left by Serenity\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n

Her uncles and aunts paid the rent for Old Man Hai every month, and that rent was given to Old Man Hai for his retirement.<\/p>\n

Grandma Hai died of cancer in her early years, the year Serenity became pregnant with Bei Bei. Because Serenity was pregnant, she did not return to her hometown for the funeral. Since her grandparents were so heartless and ungrateful to the two sisters, no one would say anything if she didn\u2019t go back.<\/p>\n

However, out of respect for their father, the two sisters still sent some money to help with Grandma Hai\u2019s funeral arrangements.<\/p>\n

Serenity felt that the two sisters had done more than enough for the two elderly people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think we older brothers put any pressure on Lao Jiu. He\u2019s the youngest, so we\u2019re all very lenient with him and dote on him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary recalled his attitude towards Lao Jiu and realized he didn\u2019t think he had put pressure on Lao Jiu.<\/p>\n

Serenity said to him: \u201cWhen I married into the family, Lao Jiu was still a high school student. You didn\u2019t put any pressure on him openly, but every time you gave him a gift, it was a set of test papers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIsn\u2019t that pressure? Besides, all eight of you older brothers are so outstanding. Even if you don\u2019t say anything, he still feels pressured. If he\u2019s even slightly inferior, people will compare him to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis invisible pressure surrounds Lao Jiu at all times. Even now that he\u2019s out in society, as long as people know he\u2019s the ninth son of the Zhan family, they all unconsciously compare him to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
