Chapter 19: Out of My League

The conditions are pretty good, quite tempting, making one feel like they’re out of their league!

Wu Xiuxiu scoffed inwardly, not swayed by the good conditions of the man’s family.

In her opinion, no matter how good the conditions were, if the person’s character wasn’t good, it wasn’t worth considering.

Wu Xiuxiu was about to speak again to refuse, but she already heard her mother and sister-in-law’s voices…

“These conditions are too good!”

“I didn’t expect the man’s family to have such good conditions, his mother even offers a job! Aunt Liu, you didn’t tell me about these things before.”

Wu Xiuxiu quickly looked at her mother and sister-in-law, immediately feeling a sense of dread. Seeing their expressions, it seemed they were interested, and very much so.

“I didn’t know the man’s family had such good conditions before, I only knew that this Du Yuanan… Du Yuanan is the man’s name.

I only knew that Du Yuanan was a second-level worker at the steel mill, I didn’t know his parents were also from the steel mill, his father was an eighth-level worker, and his mother worked in the office, and she’s willing to provide a job for her daughter-in-law, it’s great.” Matchmaker Liu said.

“For such good conditions, you wouldn’t find them even with a lantern, naturally, a bunch of girls would be vying for them.

It’s because of our special relationship that I’m giving your family special treatment, so I introduced Du Yuanan to your Xiuxiu first, arranged for her to meet him for a blind date…

Otherwise, there are many girls who come to me to find a match, some of them have better conditions than Xiuxiu, they would be more suitable to meet Du Yuanan.” Matchmaker Liu added a few more sentences.

Dong Xiaoye quickly thanked her, saying a bunch of good things about Matchmaker Liu.

Ding Hongjuan also quickly thanked her, saying a bunch of good things about Matchmaker Liu.

Wu Xiuxiu didn’t speak, logically she should also thank Matchmaker Liu, say a few good things about her, but she really disliked Matchmaker Liu’s way of comparing people, her words and actions.

Although she was a matchmaker, it was inevitable for her to do this in her line of work, there was nothing to criticize.

Matchmaker Liu had been a matchmaker for many years, she was a shrewd person, she had met countless men and women, she couldn’t say she knew them like the back of her hand, but she could say she knew them seven or eight out of ten.

Seeing Wu Xiuxiu not speaking, looking at her expression, she guessed what Wu Xiuxiu was thinking.

Matchmaker Liu didn’t get angry, she laughed, “Xiuxiu, after hearing what I said earlier, are you feeling uncomfortable, you don’t like being compared to others, you don’t like being told you’re not as good as others, I have no ill intentions.

It’s just that in our line of work, we naturally have to compare, so it’s easier to match people, those with good conditions naturally need to be matched with those with equally good conditions, those with not so good conditions naturally need to be matched with those with slightly worse conditions, only then can the matchmaking be successful.

“Since you came to me to play matchmaker, you naturally need to compare the conditions of the potential matches. You need to compare them to know the good and the bad, and to see if they are suitable for each other.”

“I just said that there are many people with better conditions than you, don’t take it to heart. I was talking about family conditions and having a job. In terms of appearance, you are the best, the most outstanding, no one can compare to you.”

“Your daughter is truly so beautiful and exquisite, like a little fairy,” said Matchmaker Liu, looking at Ding Hongjuan and praising her with a smile.

“When I decided to introduce Du Yuanan to your daughter, I was actually worried that Du Yuanan wouldn’t like your daughter. But now that I’ve seen your daughter in person, I find her even more beautiful than Xiaoye described. I’m relieved.”

“Good-looking men are all good-looking, and beautiful ones. I think Du Yuanan will definitely like your daughter.”

“Thank you so much. If Du Yuanan can like my Xiuxiu, and Xiuxiu can marry him, I will definitely thank you profusely,” Ding Hongjuan said hurriedly, her face filled with gratitude towards Matchmaker Liu.

Oh no, listening to my mom’s words, she’s already thinking about me marrying Du Yuanan. It’s terrifying!

Although Matchmaker Liu said a lot, knowing that being compared in the matchmaking market is inevitable, and everyone likes those with good conditions, she still disliked Du Yuanan and never thought of marrying him, not even wanting to go on a blind date with him.

Wu Xiuxiu was about to speak up and say that she didn’t want to marry Du Yuanan because she wouldn’t go on a blind date with him, but she saw her mother suddenly look at her.

Ding Hongjuan stared at her daughter, her eyes flickering, then she suddenly leaned close to her daughter’s ear…

“Xiuxiu, Matchmaker Liu is being kind, so she arranged a blind date for you and Du Yuanan. If you refuse to go on a blind date with Du Yuanan, you’ll be disobliging her kindness and slapping her in the face. She will definitely be angry and might not introduce any more potential matches to you in the future. Even if she reluctantly introduces someone, she will definitely find the worst one for you.”

“Moreover, Matchmaker Liu was found by your sister-in-law. If you refuse Matchmaker Liu’s kindness and don’t go on a blind date with Du Yuanan, you will make your sister-in-law feel awkward and lose face.”

“Just go and meet Du Yuanan once! Maybe Du Yuanan is not only good in terms of conditions, but also a good person!” Ding Hongjuan whispered.

She could tell from her daughter’s expression that she still wanted to refuse to go on a blind date with Du Yuanan.

Wu Xiuxiu hesitated after hearing her mother’s words. It wasn’t because she was persuaded by her mother’s last sentence, “Maybe Du Yuanan is not only good in terms of conditions, but also a good person,” but because she was worried about her mother’s previous words.

As her mother said, refusing to go on a blind date with Du Yuanan would definitely offend Matchmaker Liu. Matchmaker Liu would definitely not be enthusiastic about her marriage in the future. Even if she didn’t refuse to help her arrange blind dates, she wouldn’t arrange any good ones for her anymore.

Most importantly, it would make her sister-in-law feel awkward and lose face.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Xiuxiu nodded, reluctantly agreeing with a heavy heart.
