What on earth?
She told her not to rush to see someone in prison?
For the first time, Mingyue truly understood the idiom "playing the lute to a cow," and she was so furious she almost passed out.
The comment section was an absolute goldmine of witty remarks.
[Daidaixiong: Good grief, the state has already reformed him! If he's such a catch, why didn't you keep him for yourself and marry him? Pouring one out for sister Mingyue for a second.]
[Not a Pushover: What kind of weirdos are these? Who sets someone up with an ex-con? Are you seriously trying to get people killed?]
[OOK: Hahaha, I'm sorry, I really can't hold in my laughter. Sister Mingyue is so triggered she's ready to commit murder, and the matchmaker is standing there completely straight-faced, telling her not to rush to meet her blind date, hahahaha.]
[Momo: The streamer was right on the money again! The guy really is in prison! If I were in her shoes, I never would've guessed this ending. Calling a prison sentence "having a stable government job and eating the state's food"—tsk tsk, absolutely abstract.]
Lin Yu rubbed her forehead, thoroughly impressed by these seniors' wild imagination. Even if she tried, she couldn't have made up a pitch like that.
A prison sentence could technically be considered an alternative form of employment: three meals a day provided, vocational training, assigned tasks. Aside from not being allowed to leave without permission, it really did sound a bit like being a public servant. The main point was that they were both eating the state's food...
"Wang Ju! Is this the high-quality match you found for my daughter?" Mingyue's mother pointed straight at Matchmaker Wang.
Matchmaker Wang put on an attitude of knowing what was best for Mingyue.
"Xiaojie is a good person at heart. He just took a wrong turn in the past—isn't a mistake corrected once you reform? You shouldn't hold such a huge prejudice. He's eaten the state's food; look around, who else can compare to him?"
"You've managed to make eating prison food sound like a glorious achievement? If you think he's such a priceless treasure, you should keep him as your own son-in-law." Mingyue's father made a shooing motion to kick them out.
Mingyue added, "I can't afford a catch like that. Matchmaker Wang, doesn't your family have an unmarried daughter? Why don't you make him your son-in-law? That would be a perfect match."
"You!" Matchmaker Wang was about to snap that nobody wanted him, but remembering that Father Zhang and Mother Zhang were still right there, she could only pull a long face and snap, "You wouldn't find a condition like Xiaojie's even if you searched with a lantern. Don't live to regret this!"
Mingyue felt utterly unlucky and quickly moved in to chase them out.
After driving the three of them away, Mingyue explained the situation to her parents, who realized it was thanks to Lin Yu's warning that they hadn't been completely taken in.
All three of them thanked Lin Yu in the live chat, and Mingyue showered the stream with several sports car gifts to show her gratitude. Lin Yu happily accepted them.
[No Worries: A matchmaker's mouth is full of lies. If the streamer hadn't warned her, Mingyue would've been scammed. Don't assume someone is good just because they're a relative; people like that are actually the first ones who can't stand to see you do well.]
[Momo Army: The streamer is smiling from ear to ear seeing those gifts. Turns out money really can make everyone happy.]
[Brother: There is no product a matchmaker can't sell. If there is one, it just means the packaging wasn't good enough.]
Lin Yu was amused by the netizens' wit, her phone shaking along with her laughter.
[Orange Soda: Streamer, tilt your camera up just a tiny bit. Why does this place look a little familiar to me?]
Lin Yu did as she was asked, and soon saw another message pop up: "Streamer, are you in a hospital?"
As soon as this comment appeared, the netizens who were just there for the gossip noticed it as well and immediately started asking questions out of concern.
Lin Yu had no intention of hiding it and said, "I got bitten by a dog, currently in recovery."
She turned the camera around to pan the room, carefully avoiding aiming it at her own injuries. Seeing those scars brought all those unpleasant memories flooding back into her mind.
[Orange Soda: Which dog dared to bite our Yuyu? Absolutely despicable!]
Jingzi Buzhi Yu tipped the streamer a Porsche x1 (1200 diamonds).
Jingzi Buzhi Yu tipped the streamer a Private Jet x1 (3000 diamonds).
[Jingzi Buzhi Yu: Streamer, take good care of your health and remember to get your rabies shots.]
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, Jingzi Buzhi Yu, for the Porsche and the private jet. Don't worry, the nurses say I can be discharged in just a few days."
"All right, let's connect to the next guest."
Lin Yu didn't want everyone focusing too much on her; she had only one goal: make money!
Make lots and lots of money!
The original host had been living under someone else's roof before, and when she finally moved out, she rented the cheapest hallway apartment—one without even a bathroom or a place to take a shower. She had zero intention of living in a place like that.
Her lease on that apartment was up in just a few days, so she needed to make enough money to rent a decent place. It didn't need to be huge at first, but it at least had to have a bathroom, a living room, and a bedroom!
Realizing how many expenses were waiting for her, Lin Yu instantly perked up.
Soon, the second guest connected—a naive college boy.
The young man said his girlfriend had been acting very cold toward him, making him suspect she might be seeing someone else.
Looking at the photo sent over by the college boy, Lin Yu saw that their compatibility score was over eighty. No matter how you looked at it, these two could easily make it all the way to their golden anniversary—a truly well-matched couple!
She smiled and said, "Your girlfriend hasn't changed her mind, and you two are destined for each other. Just cherish what you have."
The college boy and his girlfriend were in a long-distance relationship, so feeling insecure was normal. However, Lin Yu knew the young woman was currently preparing a gift and traveling to celebrate the boy's birthday. Naturally, it wasn't her place to spoil it, otherwise the surprise would be ruined.
Hearing Lin Yu declare that he and his girlfriend were a destined match, the corners of the college boy's mouth shot up higher than an anti-aircraft gun could aim. He hurriedly sent a gift and disconnected.
Through the screen, everyone could see the big, goofy grin plastered across the guy's face.
The comment section immediately started mocking how "Lost Bro" had instantly transformed into "Secretly Smug Bro."
Soon, the third guest was on.
It was another young man, whose ID was "No Staying Up Late Tomorrow."
When the camera activated, a fresh-faced, clean-looking guy appeared in the live stream, and the chat filled with a chorus of "oohs."
However, the young man was frowning, looking as though he had run into some trouble.
Through her supernatural ability, Lin Yu knew his name was Wang Cheng, and he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
Wang Cheng's eye rims were faintly red, clearly having just cried, and his voice was slightly hoarse. "My girlfriend and I were college classmates. We dated for two years and just graduated and started looking for jobs this year. But a few days after starting her new job, she dumped me out of nowhere."
"I still can't reach her. I've tried every single contact method, but I can't get through. She only had a friend pass along a message that she wanted to break up. I want to know why she broke up with me."
Two years wasn't a short time, and it was filled with sweet little moments that belonged exclusively to him and his girlfriend. He simply couldn't accept her suddenly vanishing and abandoning him.
[The Only One: Who's got the nerve? The guy is clean-looking, handsome, and even a bit of a romantic fool—how could anyone have the heart to dump him? Who on earth is lucky enough to get a guy like this?]
[Sleepy: A sudden cliff-like breakup usually means she's fallen out of love, or there's another dog in the picture.]
[Little Basketball: I've been hit with a sudden breakup before—scumbag cheated. I totally understand how this little brother feels.]
[Furious for a Second: Disappearing after just a month at a new job? This... sounds suspiciously like she got kept by a boss. Some girls turn materialistic the second they enter society.]
Seeing the netizens' comments, Wang Cheng's face darkened. "Impossible! Xiaoxue is not that kind of person."
"Xiaoxue had a lot of suitors back in college, and plenty of them were more handsome and richer than me. If she were that kind of person, why would she have chosen me so firmly?" Wang Cheng choked up as he spoke.
His mind was flooded with memories of his time with Xiaoxue: sharing her favorite strawberry ice cream, staying up all night climbing mountains to watch the sunrise, and sneaking kisses in the movie theater.
It was impossible that she didn't love him. With red-rimmed eyes, Wang Cheng sent the photo to Lin Yu, begging her to read something from the facial features and give him a chance to salvage the relationship.
The moment she saw the photo, Lin Yu blurted out, "Hurry to Luoxia Bridge! She's trying to jump in the river!"
