Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 265 - 260: People Enthusiastic About Matchmaking

Yan Yan was now 25 years old, which seriously speaking, wasn’t considered very old, but at such an age and still not married, in Wenzhou, she was already considered an old maid.

Wenzhou people don’t count "full age", they usually calculate nominal age.

So in the eyes of the Wenzhou people, Yan Yan was already 27.

All of Yan Yan’s female classmates who stayed in Wenzhou were married.

If Yan Dabang and his wife hadn’t immigrated, their family would definitely have had one, in the eyes of others, an unmarriageable daughter.

Even though they had immigrated, their "roots" were still in Wenzhou, as were their friends and relatives.

Yan Yan had given Qi Yi a lot of time to convince his mother.

But this matter definitely couldn’t be indefinite.

Yan Yan was not in a hurry, but Yan Yan’s parents had no choice but to be.

The stubbornness of Qi Yi’s mother deviated from the ordinary.

For Qi Yi to persuade his mother had become a most arduous struggle.

Qi Yi had never experienced so many, so intense failures.

Qi Yi, the jobless wanderer, after returning to Wenzhou, was passionate about very little and couldn’t muster interest in most things.

The only thing he liked doing was going to matchmaking events.

Before it was his mother pushing him, now it was he who urged his mother.

Regarding matchmaking, Qi Yi now adopted a don’t-reject-anyone stance.

As long as his mother could arrange it, he would definitely appear very punctually.

His cooperation was unprecedented.

After all, as a jobless wanderer, Qi Yi truly had nothing to be proud of.

During matchmaking, Qi Yi’s attitude was particularly good; as for the questions from the women, he had answers for everything, leaving nothing unsaid.

After answering the women’s questions, Qi Yi would then start asking about what concerned him more.

Such as a woman’s wealth and current net worth.

Qi Yi’s questions went like this:

"By a conservative estimate, my ex-girlfriend’s net worth was at least 1.5 billion.

I’m not talking about the assets of my ex-girlfriend’s family, but what’s under her own name.

My ex-girlfriend was also the behind-the-scenes owner of the Y·Y brand.

Besides, her annual normal studio income is also at least in the eight figures.

Oh, right, when I speak of income, I mean that it’s calculated in euros.

My mother said that if I broke up with my ex-girlfriend, she would introduce me to someone better.

Then I broke up with my ex.

So, what I’m most concerned about now is your net worth.

Girls all like my appearance, but I only like the girls’ money.

So far, I’ve only had one girlfriend.

I’ve searched around and haven’t found anyone richer than her.

How much is your net worth, may I ask?"

This speech of Qi Yi’s, whether he was meeting a girl alone or within the "supervision" of family matchmaking, was always something he had to ask.

The question was too important; Qi Yi had to include it in the essential topics of matchmaking.

Whether his mother scolded or advised him, it was of no use.

The only response Qi Yi had for his mother was, "It’s you yourself who said you would find someone better for me."

Once at the matchmaking table, Qi Yi would never let go of this question.

In the beginning, it was very easy for Mrs. Qi to find matchmaking prospects for Qi Yi.

Even if he was temporarily a jobless wanderer, his status as a scholar from Wenzhou High School + Peking University + Stanford had always been commended by everyone who knew Mrs. Qi’s teaching methods.

If Qi Yi’s appearance was also considered, then there were plenty of eager prospects.

Mrs. Qi used to be often asked about her son’s situation, wanting her to introduce him to someone.

After all, in Wenzhou, eligible bachelors were a "hot cake," especially someone like Qi Yi.

But Qi Yi never agreed to matchmaking, even if his mother had made arrangements, he wouldn’t show up at all.

He had already found his true love; why would he waste time on matchmaking with other girls?

But that was all before Qi Yi became a jobless wanderer, and the situation now was completely the opposite.

After Qi Yi’s concern for the net worth of matchmaking prospects increased, gradually, within the circle of Mrs. Qi’s acquaintances and relatives, anyone who heard Mrs. Qi saying she wanted to find a match for her son would directly steer clear.

The speed and breadth of the spread of Qi Yi’s bizarre behavior far surpassed those tales of how outstanding Qi Yi once was.

The "kids of other families" that one heard about from Mrs. Qi, after meeting the "genuine article," had nothing but their good looks to offer.

Asking bluntly about a girl’s family wealth was one thing, but boasting about how rich an ex-girlfriend was made it unbearable.

What he said was extremely exaggerated and lacked any credibility.

Wenzhou’s wealthy families almost never had just one child, especially a daughter.

If a girl had a net worth of 1.5 billion, her family’s assets would be at least in the tens of billions.

Such a family in Wenzhou would definitely be well-known figures.

Who would marry their daughter to someone like Qi Yi, who clearly only cared about a girl’s family money?

Even if someone was deceived by his looks and fell into the trap, upon learning the truth, they would undoubtedly dump Qi Yi.

In short, when girls discussed the weirdest matchmaking experiences, Qi Yi could also be counted as a notorious figure.

The families Mrs. Qi could arrange would not possibly be highly influential.

After hearing Qi Yi’s question, considering their own net worth, the girls shook their heads.

Then they couldn’t help but stare at Qi Yi’s incomparably handsome face.

In the end, they shook their heads again, with regret and disappointment, as they left the matchmaking venue.

Qi Yi rose to his feet, a gentleman, but with no intention of retaining the girl, instead, he said, "For the just-ordered beverages, shouldn’t we pay our own shares?"

Then, on the girls’ faces, the last bit of regret and disappointment disappeared, leaving only contempt.

Many would settle Qi Yi’s bill as well, having seen trash, but never such trash.

The girls all began to remind themselves, when looking for a boyfriend, not to judge by appearance alone.

Before, when Mrs. Qi bragged about her son, people looked at her with envy.

Now, when she talked about how good her son was, those who knew the truth just shook their heads.
