Married at First Sight


Chapter 5176


In Jane Johnson’s eyes, her nephew was quite remarkable. At only twenty-something, he had already opened a private hospital thanks to his outstanding medical skills, and the hospital was thriving. Enzo’s medical expertise was also widely recognized.


While he might not be as naturally gifted as Titus, he had benefited from his mother’s upbringing from a young age, making him better than many others.


“Don’t keep comparing Enzo and Titus. Titus grew up under the guidance of the Divine Doctor; he started learning medicine much earlier and longer than Enzo.”


“Anyway, I think all our children are outstanding. So many people envy our children for being so well-educated. Which CEO our age can retire?”


“Although they are also grooming their children to take over, they can’t let go yet because their children don’t yet have the ability to support a family business.” ”


Our children, once they’ve reached adulthood and entered society, can all stand on their own and have the ability to take over the family business.”


Lillian Johnson laughed, “I only complained a little about Enzo, and you’ve said a whole bunch of things about me.”


“Who told you, his own mother, to always complain about your own son? I think if the Divine Doctor hadn’t forced you to get married and have a child, you wouldn’t have wanted Enzo.”


Lillian Johnson said awkwardly, “I never wanted to get married. I felt I was living a carefree life on my own. My master insisted I get married, have children, and live a normal life, saying he would never marry or have children and couldn’t let me end up like him.”


“He said he could find a disciple and daughter like me, but I’m probably not as lucky as him to find a successor to take care of me in my old age. He’s been pressuring me to get married every day, and he even said that if I don’t want to get married, I can just find a man and have a child.”


“My master also said that if I went to find someone myself, he would have Brother Ying and the others pick one for me. I’ve known them since I was a child, we grew up together, we’re incredibly close. Asking me to be with one of them, I really don’t know how to start.”


She only felt brotherly affection for her brothers, not romantic love.


Driven to desperation by her master’s pressure, she set her sights on Avah, thinking the Jun family had good genes and a good family tradition.


So, she slept with Avah, intending to have a child, but Avah found her and insisted on taking responsibility. Her master and the others were also very satisfied with Avah, and she genuinely liked the Jun family’s traditions, so she married him. After


more than twenty years of loving marriage, Lillian Johnson doesn’t regret her choice. It wasn’t that she didn’t love her son Enzo, but she was just too busy and didn’t have the patience. Before, when her master was still alive, he doted on the children, and she was happy to be a hands-off parent.


She might say a few words of complaint about her son in front of her sisters-in-law, but in front of outsiders, she praised him and was proud of him.


“The children have all grown up, and we’ve gotten old,”


Lillian Johnson said with emotion. “Time flies so fast. My Enzo, I still feel like he’s that crybaby, that mischievous little devil, and in the blink of an eye, he’s old enough to get married.”


“Why doesn’t that boy love Beibei? I really want Beibei to be my daughter-in-law, and Serenity doesn’t object.” She just said to let the young people develop naturally.


And so, their free development led to them becoming siblings.


Jane Johnson laughed, “Feelings can’t be forced. Enzo only has brotherly feelings for Beibei, what can we do? Besides, even if Enzo truly falls in love with Beibei, he might not win her heart.”


“Josh has been watching over Beibei since she was little, protecting her as she grows up. He’s guarded her for twenty years, do you think he’d let Enzo reap the rewards?”


“You just said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, we don’t need to worry too much.”


“Enzo and Beibei are destined to be apart, his true love is still waiting for him to find. Let’s wait, one day, Enzo will bring a girl back to see you.”


“The children are still young, no rush for marriage.”


Lillian Johnson laughed, “That’s true, no need to rush, they’re all only in their early twenties, still very young. Titus is over thirty, he should be the one in a hurry.”


“No rush either, he has Hank, in my heart, Hank has long been my disciple’s wife.”


Jane Johnson laughed, “Sony just told me to relax, saying that Hank is my daughter-in-law, she can’t escape. Titus is just afraid to get married now, afraid something might happen to him.”


“If he really wants to get married, I believe he can persuade Hank to accept their relationship change. Hank is too rigid, so inflexible, none of us elders can reason with her. It’s fortunate she loves her younger sisters; Sony was able to persuade her.”


Sony is busy and can’t often keep track of her brother’s important life events.


Titus made a video call to his sister for help, but she scolded him, finding it very distasteful.


The two sisters-in-law strolled around the resort for a while.


They were about to leave.


Someone had paid Lillian Johnson a large sum of money to perform major surgery on a patient at a hospital. Lillian Johnson went straight to the airport; it was far, requiring a twohour flight.


After the surgery, she would fly back to Annenburg.


Avah said he would take her out to dinner tonight; the couple hadn’t had a romantic outing in a long time.


Now that their child is older and no longer a clingy shadow, the couple can enjoy some sweet time together whenever they have free time.


Jane Johnson went to her flagship store, the place where her relationship with Ye Junbo began. After all these years, the store is still in business and is one of the oldest coffee shops in Annenburg.


Unexpectedly, was there too; the two bumped into each other at the entrance.


“Qingqing, we’re really on the same wavelength! I was thinking of coming over, but I didn’t expect you to be here too.”


Twenty years hadn’t left many marks on Yang Xi’s face; both were very well-maintained and wore light makeup, looking twenty years younger than their actual ages.


Jane Johnson smiled and took her friend’s arm, “Otherwise, how could we have become such good friends?””President Johnson, President Ormond.”


The store manager and staff greeted the two founders as they entered together.


They were envious of their decades-long friendship.


Both were now among the city’s most distinguished ladies, yet they remained down-to-earth and frequently returned to the store.


It held so many beautiful memories of their youth.


Whether it was Jane Johnson and Ye Junbo, or and Alonzo, their love stories all began here.


“Good morning, everyone,”


Jane Johnson smiled in response to the greetings.


The store manager had just finished the morning meeting when the two bosses arrived, and she personally greeted them.


“We’re just here to check in. You’re busy, don’t worry about us. If you need anything, we’ll get it ourselves,”


told the manager to focus on her work and not worry about her and Jane Johnson.


This was a store she and Jane Johnson co-owned. Although she had gradually stopped personally managing the business after marrying into the Alonzo family, she was aware of all the changes.


She and Jane Johnson were still very familiar with every corner of the store.The shop manager smiled, “We’re just wiping the tables first. It’s so early, there aren’t any customers yet. Let me make you some coffee.”


The two bosses often came to her shop for coffee, and the shop manager knew their preferences well.


Whenever she saw the two bosses arrive, she would personally make them coffee.


“Thank you for your trouble,”


the shop manager said. “President Johnson, please don’t say that, it’s what I should do.”


Both bosses were approachable, and even though they had married into wealthy families, they never put on airs.


They treated their long-time employees like friends and family.


After the shop manager went to make them coffee, the two chatted.


First, they talked about business, and then about their children. asked her future daughter-in-law, “Sony has been very busy lately, hasn’t she? I haven’t seen her in a long time.”


“I asked A to pick up Sony for a meal at my house, but I’ve been asking him for months and haven’t seen him bring her back for dinner.”


and Alonzo’s only son, whom everyone called Little Alonzo, actually had a proper name, Alonzo .


However, everyone still calls him Little Alonzo.


Alonzo always complains that even though he’s so outstanding, he still lives in his father’s shadow, saying that his dad isn’t that great either, always second best, always being overshadowed by his future father-in-law.


“My daughter is a workaholic, always leaving early and coming home late. I, her own mother, live under the same roof as her, and I don’t even see her if I don’t get up early. I tell her not to work so hard and to come home earlier, but she always says she can’t come home early.”


Jane Johnson sighed, “The sunny road paved for us, she doesn’t like it, she insists on carrying the burden. Her dad and I feel so sorry for her.”


“We should tell Sony not to work so hard, let A- do everything, he’s tough and hardworking.””Ah is busy too. He’s managing the Alonzo family business now. Do you think he has it easy? Alonzo retired a long time ago, but our Junbo still holds the title of chairman and sometimes still manages company affairs.”


Alonzo, however, retired immediately after his son was old enough to take over, completely refusing to concern himself with the company.


He said that once he retired, the company would be managed by his son. If his son could run it well, it would prove his son was truly capable; if he couldn’t and the company was constantly losing money, it would mean his son wasn’t competent enough.


Anyway, he was going to retire when he reached retirement age to spend time with his wife and enjoy his later years. No matter


how much his son squandered the family fortune, he couldn’t possibly squander all of Alonzo ’s assets, could he?


Fortunately, it turned out that Alonzo was a qualified successor. He and Enzo often met because of business, but if he wanted to pick Enzo up after work to go back to the Alonzo family home for dinner, he really had to arrange it well in advance so that Enzo would have time.


The two of them were the couple everyone tacitly agreed on.


They grew up together, childhood sweethearts, inseparable, and even went to school together, classmates since kindergarten.


Both families hoped they would go from school uniforms to wedding gowns, living a happy and fulfilling life together.


“I told Alonzo to hold on for a few more years, not to make our son so tired, to give him some time to date. He wouldn’t listen, saying he was managing his company back then, but he still managed to find time to pursue me.” “He


said A is his biological son, so he’ll definitely be able to do the same, managing his business while pursuing his wife.”


“He also said A is much better than him, at least A loves Sony, they’re true childhood sweethearts, unlike him, who’s been hurt in love.”


Jane Johnson laughed, “He actually brings up his former love interest? I thought he’d forgotten her long ago.”


“She’s still his former love interest, after all. Even if he doesn’t love her anymore, he’ll still remember her name. What does it matter if he brings her up? The person he loved later was me, and the person he married was me.”


“I’ve been married to him for decades. Everyone knows how good he is to me. We also have an excellent son, and our life is happy and fulfilling. I should even thank his first love for not marrying him.”


“That’s right, everyone has a past. Let’s look forward and cherish everything we have.”


After chatting about their child, the two mothers talked about a newly opened restaurant. The food was pretty good, and they thought they could try it sometime. In


H City, X Province,


a white BMW was parked in front of the Longteng Group. Labbe leaned against the back of the car. Today, she was wearing a red dress, a striking contrast to the white BMW.


She was waiting for Ye Titus.


Every now and then, Labbe would glance at her wristwatch. Why hadn’t Ye Titus shown up yet? Wasn’t he supposed to go back to the company first?


Titus hadn’t gone straight back to the company. He was originally going to attend a meeting, but because an important client arrived early, he changed his plans and postponed the meeting to meet the client at the Kangyang Hotel first.


Labbe waited for him at the entrance of the Longteng Group, but naturally, he didn’t appear.


Growing impatient, Labbe went to the security window again and asked the guard on duty, “Brother Security, isn’t your CEO going back to the company today?”


She had been waiting for ages.


She had gotten up early to see Ye Titus and come here very early.


She knew that Ye Titus usually arrived at the company at 7:55 AM; as a CEO, he was very punctual, and since work started at 8:00 AM, he was usually early and rarely late.


The guard on duty replied, “How would we know CEO Ye’s schedule? We don’t know if he’s going back to the company or not.”


Even many managers in the company didn’t know their boss’s schedule, let alone them, who were just security guards.Labbe choked.


Indeed, Titus was incredibly mysterious.


He was rarely seen, like a dragon whose head was seen but never its tail.


Even if one could see him, he wore a black mask and sunglasses, obscuring his true face.


To this day, no one outside knew what Ye Titus actually looked like—handsome or ugly?


Confirming whether he was the person her grandfather and his family had been searching for was even more difficult.


“Then, could you contact Mr. Ye’s secretary?”


The security guard on duty couldn’t help but laugh. “Miss Long, do you think we security guards have that qualification? We’re just gatekeepers; we can’t just contact whoever we want.”


Labbe frequently visited Longteng Group, always hoping to see Ye Titus. Everyone in the Longteng Group’s security team recognized her; they knew she was the beloved daughter of the acting head of the Long family.


“Miss Long, please go back. Mr. Ye probably won’t be back at the company.”


Even if he did, Mr. Ye wouldn’t see Miss Long. With


so many people in the company, it was difficult for even one person to see the boss.


Whenever Titus returns to the company, he has his own dedicated green channel and elevator. Apart from the security guard on duty who can see him drive in, it’s quite difficult for other people in the company to see him. President


Hank is easier to see, but President Hank also likes to wear a mask every day, just like the boss. President Hank himself said that if he doesn’t wear a mask, he will have a lot of trouble.
