Chapter 120: Chapter 120

Lily Green thought of something and suddenly blushed deeply, "Really taking advantage of being young to do whatever you want, you should be careful not to get a girl pregnant before marriage, it’s bad for her reputation. If you really like someone, bring her home to meet the family. With our older brother’s previous experience, even though Grandma may nag a lot, she won’t completely interfere with your marriage."

"You shouldn’t worry about my matters, worry about yourself. If you’re with a monk, then the family really won’t tolerate it."

Lily Green immediately retorted, "Nonsense again, sis said it’s not true. What monk? Your sister has such high standards, how could she be interested in a monk? Keep making things up, and I’ll tear your mouth apart."

"Then dear sister, you’d better not let me catch you in the act later, or I’ll really, really, really laugh at you."

"I won’t give you that chance," Lily said, and then walked downstairs in high heels.

Unaware of Lily Green’s presence earlier, the still sleeping Lucy Eaton knew nothing.

When she woke up, it was already four o’clock in the afternoon. This nap left her feeling mentally refreshed, she ate, and soon it would be dark.

Lucy was a bit worried, would she still be able to sleep tonight?

However, Jacob Green was lying on the bed like her until now, but he wasn’t worried at all about not being able to sleep at night.

After all, if he couldn’t sleep, he could do other things, no need to force himself to sleep.

The two stayed for half an hour after dinner and swam for a while in the large rooftop pool next to the main villa, chatting and laughing, enjoying the moment.

The phone placed on the long chair broke the harmony, ringing.

Jacob Green swam to the edge, wiped his hand, picked up the phone—it was his mother’s number.

He immediately answered, his mother’s tone was slightly heavy, "Come home quickly, there’s an important matter to discuss."

"The President and First Lady are unexpectedly visiting our home, they want to see you and your brother."

Jacob Green frowned, "What do they want to see us for?"

"A brief explanation won’t suffice, come back and we’ll discuss."

He agreed, saying he would be home immediately.

On the way back, Jacob Green couldn’t understand why the President and First Lady wanted to see him and his brother.

This was indeed rare.

With confusion in his heart, he arrived at the Green Family’s old residence.

He and John Green arrived home one after the other, both entered simultaneously.

They greeted the President and First Lady with handshakes.

Once seated, the First Lady smiled, "I met with Mr. Green at the state banquet before, and admired his unique insights on the current economic situation."

"Madam, you flatter me." Jacob Green inquired, "Your unexpected visit today has made our family feel greatly honored. May I ask the purpose of your visit?"

"I was just talking to the old lady, and it seems neither you nor Dr. Green are married yet. To be honest, my husband and I are here today to personally propose for my little daughter, Sophie."

The Green brothers exchanged a knowing look.

Personally propose for their own daughter?

And specifically choose the Green Family?

The living room fell silent for ten seconds, then Jacob Green laughed and replied, "Forming a marriage alliance with the Presidential Mansion would be a blessing for our Green Family, but I must say, I have been secretly married for a while, and the family doesn’t know about it."

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room was shocked, except for John Green.

"Secretly married?" his mother quickly asked, "When?"

"March 6th, we registered at the civil affairs bureau. My wife doesn’t want it publicized, so it hasn’t been announced publicly."

"Young Three, you’re too reckless! You hid such a big matter from the family without leaving any trace." The old lady couldn’t hold back, scolding Jacob Green, "Do you even consider the family?"

The old master coughed, signaling her to mind the occasion.

Realizing this, the old lady’s expression turned regretful.

The President and First Lady exchanged glances; the President regrettably said, "Since Mr. Green is already married, we won’t consider it anymore. Dr. Green, surely you’re not secretly married like Mr. Green, right?"

"I’m not secretly married," John Green replied, "but I do have a girlfriend whom I love dearly, and will marry none but her."

Without any hint of consideration, he decisively rejected, which indeed hurt the President and First Lady’s dignity.

Choosing the Green Family came after thorough deliberation.

Now, this visit proved to be pointless, leaving them in a less than pleasant mood.

"That’s truly regrettable." The First Lady kept smiling, saying, "My husband and I assumed we had finalized the marriage with the Green Family, but it turns out to have surprised us. But a marriage needs mutual consent, it shouldn’t be forced. We have to consider other candidates now."

Old Mrs. Green particularly didn’t want to miss such a good opportunity, disregarding the old master’s hand pressing hers, she insisted, "Sir, Madam, please allow us to discuss it as a family and give you a reply tomorrow, would that be acceptable?"

Once the President and First Lady left, John Green looked at his mother, "Mom, give me the household registration book."

"You can’t have it!" The old lady looked at him, "John, you are truly foolish, the opposing party is the President’s daughter. You should consider not just yourself, but the Green Family as well. What good will come to the Green Family if we offend the Presidential Mansion?!"

"The President’s daughter so what? Even if it’s the Jade Emperor’s daughter, I wouldn’t care. Why should I consider the entire Green Family instead of myself?!" John Green coldly looked at the old lady, "I’m not that selfless. My marriage is solely my business, no one else can govern it."

He again turned to his mother, "Mom, give me the household registration book right away, I plan to register tomorrow morning."

Seeing his mother turn to go get it, the old lady fiercely knocked her cane, "Stop!"

"Mom, don’t interfere with John’s marriage." His mother pained by her son’s choice, "Marriage is a lifelong matter; with someone you don’t love, where does happiness come in?"

"Mom, go get the household registration book for my brother..." Jacob Green hadn’t finished when the old lady threw her cane at him, "How dare you support your brother! Who gave you the courage to register your marriage without the family’s consent?!!!"

The old lady shouted it almost like a roar, her eyes blazing with anger.

Jacob Green looked with cold eyes, exuding an authoritative aura, "My wife is Lucy Eaton, the Prime Minister’s daughter. Dare I ask Grandma if her family background qualifies her as your granddaughter-in-law?"

The statement not only stunned the old lady but also left the old master, Mr. Green, and his wife speechless.
