Haitong laughed at him for claiming credit for himself.
Zhan Yin chuckled. “My son is excellent because of our good genes, and also because I taught him well.”
Naturally, it was his merit too.
Before having children, the couple had agreed he would be the stay-at-home dad, responsible for disciplining the children. When one needed to play the bad cop and the other the good cop, he was always the one playing bad cop.
Zhan Yin would not allow the children to have any dissatisfaction with Haitong.
Criticising the children was often something he took the initiative to do.
“How is Old Seven doing?”
Zhan Yin finally had time to care about Old Seven.
Before Haitong could answer, Zhan Muchen eagerly told Daddy, “Seventh Uncle is pursuing Seventh Aunt. He said he wants to marry her home soon, so we will have a Seventh Aunt.”
“But Daddy, Seventh Aunt is so fierce. She dares to hit Seventh Uncle, and Seventh Uncle does not get angry when hit.”
The little one, smart as he was, was still just a six-year-old child. He could not understand why Seventh Uncle, after being slapped by Seventh Aunt, still liked her.
The little one put himself in the situation and thought if someone slapped him publicly, he would fight them desperately, not like the one who hit him.
Even if Seventh Aunt was very pretty.
Zhan Muchen had seen many pretty aunties. His mummy was a great beauty, several aunts were pretty too, Aunt Xiaojun and Aunt Xiaofei, which one was not a pretty aunt?
So, Seventh Aunt being pretty did not score extra points.
Zhan Yin looked at Haitong. “Does that Lan woman often resort to violence? Does she have domestic violence tendencies?”
Most importantly, did his Old Seven have masochistic tendencies?
Haitong laughed. “No, just that one time. Ruoruo had just lost a big business deal to Old Seven. When she saw Old Seven hosting a welcome dinner for us, she misunderstood and deliberately slapped him.”
“Baby just thinks Ruoruo is so fierce, so formidable, daring to hit Old Seven.”
“Ruoruo is actually very nice. Our Beibei likes her a lot. Old Seven fell for her long ago. The two are mutually affectionate. Presumably Old Seven has confided in you.”
As the eldest brother, when the younger brothers faced difficulties, they always sought Zhan Yin first.
Haitong did not need to ask to guess Old Seven had talked to Zhan Yin.
“If time could go back, Ruoruo would absolutely not slap Old Seven again. That one slap put her and Old Seven’s interactions at a disadvantage, very passive.”
“Now she is gradually being controlled by Old Seven, eaten alive.”
“Husband, do not say it, but you Zhan family men, once they scheme against someone, they are truly cunning.”
Lan Ruoruo regretted it, regretted it to death.
That one slap led to so many consequences, making her very passive now.
It was also Zhan Wei being too cunning.
Even after being hit, he could find ways to turn the situation around, from disadvantage to winning side.
Zhan Yin said oh. “Just that one time? I thought there were more after. I was thinking if that Lan had domestic violence tendencies, I would advise Old Seven, see if he could like someone else.”
“No need to advise. Lan Ruoruo matches Old Seven well. I have interacted with her. Her character is quite good.”
“The Lan family’s upbringing is decent too. The two families are well matched.”
“I see after Old Seven recognised his feelings for her, his heart is set on Lan Ruoruo. Impossible to change people. If he could change, it would only mean he does not love.”
Haitong countered, “You Zhan men, once moved, who can let go and love someone else?”
