"Xiaojing, this is the guy your aunt really went to the trouble of introducing to you."
"I heard he's a returned overseas student, earning 30,000 yuan a month. Although he's been married before, he doesn't have any children. You're already this age, so stop being so picky and find a good man to marry!"
Li Jing's elderly mother pleaded with her daughter, saying that she was 35 and still unmarried, while the neighbors next door already had grandchildren.
Li Jing understands her mother's anxiety, but she can't just marry anyone because she's reached a certain age.
This is irresponsible towards oneself.
Are you listening?
Li Jing's mother's voice came through the phone again.
Li Jing was born into a working-class family; both her parents were retired workers, and their combined monthly income was 10,000 yuan.
They felt that 30,000 was a decent income.
Besides, the other party owns a house and a car, so their daughter's life would be quite comfortable after marrying into the family.
Li Jing has made a lot of money as an agent over the years, but she has always told her family that she works as a clerk and earns 4,000 yuan a month, and that she is still renting a house.
In fact, Li Jing had long earned an annual salary of over one million yuan and owned a large 300-square-meter apartment with five rooms in Wancheng.
This house alone costs over 5 million yuan, not including renovations, and he drives a Porsche Cayenne.
Even if she doesn't get married, she could have enough money to date a younger man for the rest of her life.
Furthermore, Xia Nuan's two songs are currently very popular, and Li Jing has already raised 3 million yuan from these two songs alone.
30,000 was nothing to her.
"Okay, Mom? I'm at the restaurant entrance now."
"I'm telling you, you'd better behave yourself later. Don't let your carefree attitude show, okay?"
"Your aunt said she went through a lot of connections to find someone with such good conditions."
"You better cherish it."
Li Jing didn't like hearing this. "Mom, I'm 35 now, not 53. Besides, there are plenty of women who get married at 60, aren't there?"
"What's the rush!"
When the elderly mother heard Li Jing say that, she immediately became angry.
"I told you to go on a blind date properly, so go on a blind date properly. What are you whining about here?"
"If you can't find a boyfriend this year, don't come back, so I don't embarrass myself."
The roar of a tigress came through the phone.
Li Jing rubbed her temples, looking helpless. Even if she didn't get married, she could just find a sperm bank and decide what kind of child she wanted to have.
He said somewhat impatiently, "Okay, Mom? I'm already at the door. Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm hanging up."
"The third table after you enter, there is a rose on the table. Remember, look carefully."
"I'll remember that. I'm tired of hearing you say it."
"Okay, I'll hang up now."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jing finally got some peace and quiet.
She had seen the photo; the person was fairly good-looking. Having worked in the entertainment industry for so many years, she had become somewhat of a looks-obsessed person.
If the person in the photo is too ugly.
She wouldn't even glance at it.
In the past, Li Jing would always find various excuses to decline blind dates arranged by her family.
To put it bluntly, she has a fear of marriage.
Living alone can be very happy, but after marriage, you have to integrate into your partner's family and manage relationships, which is honestly exhausting.
Li Jing looked in the direction her elderly mother had indicated.
I saw a figure dressed in a suit and tie from behind.
He looks alright from behind.
This was introduced by an acquaintance, so it would be really inappropriate not to oblige.
Li Jing dressed very fashionably, and although she is in her thirties, she doesn't look old at all.
He looks like he's in his early twenties.
In addition, those who work in the entertainment industry generally have a great temperament.
"You must be the blind date my aunt introduced me to."
Li Jing walked to the table with the roses and got straight to the point.
He then tossed his bag onto the sofa and got straight to the point.
“My name is Li Jing. I work as a clerk in a company. My monthly salary is 4,000 yuan. I have no car, no house and live in a rented room.”
The man was 40 years old and wore black-rimmed glasses, looking a bit old-fashioned.
After listening to Li Jing's introduction, the man's sense of superiority immediately rose.
"You've probably already seen my profile. I'm a manager at a private company, earning 30,000 yuan a month plus year-end bonuses. I own a three-bedroom apartment and a Volkswagen worth over 200,000 yuan. If you're with me, I'll buy you a 'low-speed electric car'."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing almost burst out laughing.
"You are much prettier in person than in photos. To be honest, I never expected you to be so beautiful."
"If you marry me, quit your job."
“I will give you 5,000 yuan every month.”
5,000 yuan isn't even enough for Li Jing to buy a handbag.
However, this charade must continue.
"Is this 5,000 yuan you gave me pocket money or...?"
"How could it be pocket money? This is for your living expenses."
"This includes the cost of groceries, water and electricity, gas, as well as daily household expenses and some other things."
"Oh, right, and nutritional supplements too."
Li Jing was speechless.
However, she did not interrupt him, but kept smiling and staring at him.
"Didn't you forget to mention medical expenses?"
The man nodded.
"Yes, I had completely forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."
"Oh, by the way, after we get married, I'm going to bring my mom to live with us so it will be easier for you to take care of her."
"A three-bedroom apartment, and an elderly person is also going to live there. Do you think that's reasonable?" Li Jing frowned.
She wanted to hear what the man would say.
"My mother had a hard time giving birth to me, so isn't it only right that we bring her here to take care of her?"
"Yes, it was really not easy for your mother to give birth to you, so it's perfectly reasonable for you to take care of him."
The man pushed up his glasses and smiled, "You also think what I did was right, right?"
Li Jing nodded.
"Yes, you did the right thing. It was really not easy for your mother to give birth to you and raise you, so there is no problem with taking care of you."
“After we get married, we’ll have children. After all, I’m already 40 and you’re 35. We’re not young anymore.”
"Once a woman turns 30, almost no one wants her."
"Only someone like me, who's been married before, would be willing to take on the job."
These words made it sound like Li Jing was unwanted.
Li Jing's expression slowly turned ugly.
He clasped his hands together, stared at the man in front of him, and smiled, "Yes, continue. I'd like to hear your plans."
The man became even more smug when he saw Li Jing listening.
"You know, I'm a manager at the company, and I have to go out for business dinners every month."
"Um, and then, what are you trying to say?"
"You know that sometimes things can go wrong after drinking, right?"
"We're all adults, so I'll just say it directly."
"I hope you won't take this to heart. After all, men sometimes make mistakes, so I hope you can understand."
Li Jing still had a smile on her face. She wanted to see how far this clown could go. She raised her hand to signal the man to continue.
