Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 337 - 332: Not So Easy (6)

Yan Yan put down the fried dough sticks, wiped her hands, and hugged Aunt’s arm tightly, continuing to deploy her charm and cuteness as a weapon:

"Aunt, you can’t adopt the ’distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors’ approach like my parents did!

Our Qi Yi is so well-behaved, so handsome, so excellent.

How could Aunt easily give up on him?

I’m still counting on Aunt to help me persuade my dad and mom!"

"I certainly don’t mean to take the side of your high school classmate," Aunt quickly clarified her stance.

Even referring to him as a high school classmate.

"Ah? Why? Why has even Aunt changed her mind?

Did Brother Pili drug you guys?

There’s really, really nothing ever going on between him and me.

Aunt, you must believe me." Yan Yan was truly getting anxious now.

If even Aunt had changed her initial intent, then the situation was not as simple as she had imagined.

"Don’t think that just because your Brother Pili is easy to bully you can blame everything on him. This matter has nothing to do with anyone else; it’s your classmate Qi Yi’s character that’s the problem." The speaker was Yan Family’s head, Yan Dingbang.

Yan Yan had been too focused on trying to get Aunt on her side and hadn’t noticed when her Uncle had entered the restaurant.

Entering with Uncle was also Yan Yan’s dad, Yan Dabang.

Then her mom also came over carrying a big pot of sticky rice.

Everyone heard Yan Dingbang’s critique of Qi Yi, but no one raised an objection about Qi Yi’s character issues.

"Uncle, you must be mistaken."

Yan Yan quickly let go of Aunt’s arm and started to act coquettishly toward Yan Dingbang:

"My boyfriend Qi Yi has always been both academically excellent and of good character, with outstanding looks, and both inner and outward virtues. There could absolutely, definitely be no issues with his character." Faced with this sudden scenario, Yan Yan couldn’t address each issue individually and had to start with the person who had decision-making power.

Yan Dingbang was the one with the most say in the Yan Family.

Compared to winning over her own parents, convincing Uncle was definitely a more efficient and permanent solution.

Moreover, since she and Qi Yi were high school classmates, her parents should very well understand Qi Yi.

That was also why, after she re-encountered Qi Yi in Melbourne, her parents hadn’t inquired much and had directly approved of her being with Qi Yi.

If it weren’t for Qi Yi’s mother, she and Qi Yi would probably already be married by now.

Now that the issues with Qi Yi’s mother were resolved, there was no reason for any irreconcilable conflicts.

Once the whole family was seated in the restaurant, Yan Yan was particularly attentive in serving everyone fried dough sticks and doing the cooking.

Today was a crucial moment, and Yan Yan was still on a mission entrusted by Qi Yi.

Qi Yi was waiting for her to return and tell him the best time and place for his parents to formally ask for her parents’ blessing for their marriage.

There wasn’t supposed to be an issue, how come suddenly no one agreed?

"Being good at studies is fine, but let’s forget about being of good character. Are you unaware that your so-called virtuous and talented boyfriend has been going around the country on blind dates? Do you even know what he’s been saying during those dates?" Yan Dingbang didn’t change his stance despite Yan Yan’s various attempts to please him.

Blind dates...

Uh...

So that’s what happened.

Qi Yi did indeed go back to China for matchmaking, but that wasn’t really his intention.

Plus, Qi Yi’s matchmaking trip happened half a year ago, why did it suddenly come up now?

"Aunt, where did you hear about this?" Yan Yan didn’t know how to answer the two questions Yan Dingbang had just asked her, so she simply replaced her response with a question.

"There are no impenetrable walls under heaven, Wenzhou is so small, there’s no news that can be kept hidden. Just last week, someone asked your Aunt if your ex-boyfriend was Qi Yi." Aunt responded to Yan Yan’s question quite straightforwardly.

Yan Yan hadn’t expected that the matchmaking event involving Qi Yi would still have lingering effects until now.

If her family had heard about it at the time, Yan Yan would have had an easier time explaining.

Now that the rumors had been circulating for so long, it was really unclear what exactly her family had heard.

No wonder there was such a big reaction.

However, luckily, this crisis was in the past now.

"Aunt, Qi Yi isn’t that kind of person. I knew about his matchmaking trip back in the country.

At that time, it was his mother who insisted on forcing him to go on the matchmaking dates.

Qi Yi had no choice but to intentionally scare everyone off.

You might not know, but the Ian fund that my cousin recommended to me, a lot of its data analysis and investment strategies were devised by Qi Yi.

Qi Yi is very capable, and he’s about to set up his own fund soon.

He’s going to be even more successful in the future.

The rumors are definitely not credible.

Qi Yi would absolutely not be with me just for money.

His earning capacity is only greater than mine, not less.

You can ask my cousin if you don’t believe it, Qi Yi is really doing well on Wall Street.

If it weren’t for Qi Yi, I wouldn’t have had the money to buy the new material patent this time." Yan Yan explained the situation to Yan Dingbang.

Though Yan Yan didn’t know exactly what her Aunt had heard, the shocking statements about Qi Yi’s matchmaking were intentionally concocted from the beginning.

Since the family didn’t know the truth, a serious explanation would clear things up soon.

But things did not develop along the trajectory Yan Yan had anticipated.

After Yan Yan finished explaining, not a single family member’s expression showed any signs of improvement.

It was Yan Yan’s first time acting spoiled in front of her Aunt, and she didn’t achieve any substantive results.

Yan Xiaoyan pursed her lips, moved to sit between her parents, and continued with what now seemed like a somewhat daunting mission.

"Dad, Mom, you’ve watched Qi Yi grow up, right? He was excellent before, and he is still excellent now.

How could he be that kind of person? Surely you wouldn’t completely deny the facts you’ve seen over the years just because of some casual comments from others.

Besides, we’ve been together since high school, who knew what they wanted to do in the future back then?

Qi Yi was forced into matchmaking by his mother before, he’s already dealt with his mother, and it won’t happen again.

Qi Yi just told me the day before yesterday, asking me to inquire when would be a good time for his parents to come to our house to formally propose marriage~" After failing with her Aunt, Yan Yan continued to act spoiled towards her own parents.
