Chapter 2498 - Exhausted (Finale) (1)
The fathers respected Zhai Sheng and didn't dare to make a noise as long as Zhai Sheng remained silent.
As for the mothers, they were just like the fathers and stared at their idol, Qiao Nan, like fans. Whatever their idol said was right. If their son or daughters' opinions differed from their idol's, it was definitely their children who were in the wrong.
With such a harmonious atmosphere, the meeting undoubtedly went smoothly and successfully.
Besides, the three young couples had already come up with a comprehensive plan for their wedding. Seeing that Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan had agreed to it, the other three sets of parents immediately nodded in agreement.
The wedding of the Zhai family's triplets went especially smoothly.
The three young couples had already taken their wedding photos and had also gotten the hard copies.
Although the triplets didn't want to put too much burden on their parents, they also wished to leave a good memory for their partners, and there was a need to pay attention to the process and details.
They would rather work harder and allow their parents to relax, but the memories had to be perfect.
It was because of this attitude of the Zhai family's triplets that their partners were absolutely sure of their decisions to marry them.
What mattered most was how much they cared and respected their partners.
On the day the three children got married, Qiao Nan hugged Zhai Sheng's arm and cried while smiling. "Brother Zhai, it's really just you and me in the future. You have to stay by my side."
Her sons and daughter had gotten married to start their own families with their own children.
As expected, the only one who would stay with her until the end was her husband, Zhai Sheng.
"Why? Am I not enough?" Zhai Sheng wanted to comfort Qiao Nan but was sour about how Qiao Nan had said such a thing.
"You're enough." Qiao Nan wiped away her tears and nodded. Without Zhai Sheng, she would never have been able to give birth to three adorable and obedient children.
"Brother Zhai, do you think our children will be as blissful as us after they get married?"
Zhai Sheng frowned. "We're the most blissful."
Qiao Nan responded after a moment of silence. "Do you think they'll have just a fraction of our bliss?"
"That's possible." He was a father, after all, and wouldn't be so vicious to his children. "Since they've already gotten their own families, you can stop worrying about them. You can pay more attention to me now. We're the ones who will stay blissful even into our old age."
As a grandpa of seventy years old and a grandma of sixty-five years old, Zhai Sheng's words evoked mixed feelings.
She hugged Zhai Sheng's arm tightly. "Yes, we'll remain blissful into our old age." Till death do us part…
Zhai Sheng could sense that Qiao Nan shared his thoughts. "Yes, we'll remain blissful." Even death wouldn't be able to part them…
"Qiao Zijin's Freedom"
Ever since Qiao Zijin had gained an understanding of her surroundings, she realized that she hated her younger sister, Qiao Nan. Even her parents hadn't liked her younger sister very much. In fact, after Qiao Nan's birth, her mother's attitude toward her had improved.
Knowing that her father was no longer a soldier and that her family's conditions wouldn't be as good as they had been, Qiao Zijin often thought that it would have been better if her younger sister, Qiao Nan, had never been born.
If Qiao Nan suddenly died, they would probably be able to return to their normal lives.
As such, even before entering high school, the thought that was constantly on Qiao Zijin's mind was why Qiao Nan was still not dead yet.
It was only after she entered high school did Qiao Zijin realize how good it was to have Qiao Nan as her younger sister.
Her results weren't as good as Qiao Nan's, but her mother was still willing to fund her education.
Compared to working and getting a job, studying was naturally easier. Anyway, her parents had never made her sign any documents nor forced her to achieve certain grades to continue studying. Had that been the case, she would definitely have been out working just like Qiao Nan.
Without the need to work, Qiao Zijin lived comfortably and freely.
She wanted whatever her classmates had and could simply ask her mom for money. Then, her mother would ask Qiao Nan for money to buy whatever she wanted for her.
Could life get any more comfortable?
Of course not!
That was how she had spent a few years of her life in school. In the blink of an eye, it was time for her to graduate and find a job.
Qiao Zijin hadn't paid attention in school, and neither did she have any special talents. As such, there was no way for her to find a good job or a well-paying one.
Qiao Zijin gave it some thought. It didn't matter that she couldn't earn her keep. Anyway, Qiao Nan was good at earning money. She had heard that Qiao Nan could earn ten to twenty thousand yuan a month from her translation job.
That was great! With Qiao Nan around, Qiao Zijin could afford to find a relaxing job.
Now that she had settled the matter of her job, it was time to find herself a boyfriend and a marriage partner.
No one met her criteria. They were either too ugly or had poor family backgrounds.
Qiao Zijin hadn't even met a partner before Qiao Nan, who had not even graduated from junior high school, brought a handsome and rich man home, saying that he was her boyfriend and that they were getting married.
Qiao Zijin was in shock. He was truly a handsome man.
And not only did that handsome guy's father work in the government sector, but he was even a commissioner! Qiao Zijin couldn't help but think about how good it would be if that guy was her boyfriend instead.
Qiao Zijin had never spent much effort in her studies, but she spared no efforts in her marriage.
Having tried to seduce Chen Jun a few times, Qiao Zijin discovered to her delight that Chen Jun wasn't very 'loyal' to Qiao Nan even though he liked her.
As expected, after feeding Chen Jun a few glasses of alcohol once, Chen Jun went to bed with her!
Upon seeing the bright red blood on the bed, Qiao Zijin was over the moon. She had snatched this man from Qiao Nan and had slept with him. This handsome and rich man was hers!
Just as Qiao Zijin was celebrating her victory, Chen Jun coldly threw five thousand yuan at her to pay for her first time. "The woman I like is Qiao Nan. I'm sure you know why last night happened. It's fine to play around a little, but the person I'm marrying is Qiao Nan. It doesn't matter how much trouble you're going to stir up. I'm never going to change my mind."
After hearing Chen Jun's words, Qiao Zijin had cried for an entire day on the hotel bed that they had shared the previous night.
