Live-streamed dating: My information is constantly updated

Chapter 204 Saving Face
"You asked two questions, host. I'll answer them one by one."

"First of all, there's the child. I have a son with my ex-husband, but he got custody of the child during the divorce."

What does this mean? The mother isn't fighting for custody?

[Isn't he his biological son?]

[Woman divorces with children -20 points; divorces without children -200 points]

I suspect she got the house through a divorce, on the condition that she gave up custody.

Zhang Zhe's thoughts were the same as the comments: this woman likely gave up custody of her son in exchange for a house.

The house is most likely a marital home; otherwise, there's no reason to give it to her.

She might not even pay child support now, completely abandoning her child and just living her own life.

This kind of woman's situation is very similar to XXN who got a divorce after going ashore.

Her ex-husband is living a very comfortable life.

Zhang Zhe was very curious about how the woman would fabricate reasons for her divorce.

"I got divorced mainly because my ex-husband's mother was quite domineering. My ex-husband and I are both from central Jiangsu, and his mother is a bit traditional and interfered a lot in our family."

“My partner wasn’t completely independent and couldn’t stand on his own two feet. This made me feel uncomfortable because I was also controlled by his mother in my life, so we broke up.”

“You don’t need to say so much next time.” Zhang Zhe said speechlessly, “Just say that there are conflicts between you and your mother-in-law and that your ex-husband doesn’t support you, that’s enough.”

"Everyone understands."

"Yes, that's pretty much the situation you described, host."

"Now, tell me what kind of person you're looking for," Zhang Zhe said, suppressing the urge to complain, and gestured for the other person to continue.

Humans always have this tendency to appreciate ugliness.

When you encounter an oddball, you can't help but want to see just how oddball they can be.

"I'm looking for someone who works in Shanghai, and whose income is enough to cover my daily expenses."

"He was able to stay in Shenghai and accept my divorce status. I don't want to go back to Suzhou or go somewhere else."

"Because I've already gotten used to the work and life here in Shanghai..."

"Why did your accent change as you talked?"

"What do you mean? You drink Starbucks every day, do you think you're some kind of high-flying tycoon?" Zhang Zhe couldn't hold back anymore: "Sister, I know you're very modern, but don't mix English and Chinese when you speak, it makes me uncomfortable."

"Your bourgeois sentimentality is practically overflowing the screen."

"Let me guess, did you used to go shopping on the pedestrian street and have afternoon tea with your girlfriends every day? Your mother-in-law didn't like it and said a few words to you, so you had a fight with your ex-husband, and in the end, you broke up?"

[Are you a famous detective, host?]

[Oh no, Zhang Ge, you've insulted a Shanghai auntie! You're going to get your face posted on Xiaohongshu!]

[Since you've made it so clear, we sisters are going to dump this scoundrel!]

[A perfect portrait of a woman who doesn't want children; I can completely understand it.]

"What do you mean, streamer?"

"I tend to use a bit of English in my speech because English can sometimes express meaning more accurately than Chinese. Is there anything wrong with that?"

“No problem, but this is my live stream.” Zhang Zhe pointed to himself: “Respecting the streamer’s wishes is fine, right?”

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything then, alright?"

"Anyway, this is my requirement for a partner. I can accept that the man is divorced like me, but doesn't have children."

"The man is divorced and doesn't have child?"

Zhang Zhe began to seriously analyze the problem:
"These kinds of men usually want to have children after marriage, otherwise there's no point in getting married. You're already this age, can you handle it?"

"No, no, no," the woman refused. "I definitely don't want children in the future."

"what?"

"Then why do you require the man not to take care of the child?"

“Because I’m the same way, I don’t have a child either,” the woman said with surprise. “What I’m asking for is the same as what I’m asking for.” “That’s reasonable, isn’t it?”

“I have had a failed marriage before, so when I enter into marriage again, I naturally have to consider these practical factors…”

“No, you’re not telling the truth.” Zhang Zhe shook his head: “You’re just afraid that if the man has children, all the money will go to the children, and you won’t have any money left.”

[Brother Zhang, what are you doing here? You should be sitting in the main hall of Kaifeng Prefecture.]

[The streamer revealed the truth]

She just wants to find a rich man to support her.

Why not just go to Longhua Temple to make a wish?

This is a request that would make even a Bodhisattva break out in a cold sweat.

“I will naturally consider the factors you mentioned, host.” This time, the woman didn’t pretend: “Having children will lower the quality of life for couples, which I have already proven through my previous marriage experience.”

"OK, so here's the question."

"Why would a man who has settled in Shanghai and has the means to support you abandon a 20-year-old female college student to find a 40-year-old divorced woman like you?"

"Come on, please answer."

"Because my requirements are low. I can accept that the other person doesn't have a house, because I have a house."

"So, how much do you think a guy would need to earn per year to support all your daily expenses?"

"I think it should be at least 30 or more," the woman replied after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, so that man who earns 30 a year, is about your age, divorced and doesn't have kids, works hard to earn money for you to spend, just so he can live in your house?"

Is it because his rental agreement is illegal?

“Where can you find a man like that? If you find one, contact me. I have a doctor at a mental hospital who can assess his mental state for free.”

[If your annual salary is 30, isn't spending 10 on rent a year enough?]

[You dare to bring up your 300 million yuan dilapidated house? Anyone who didn't know better would think it was Tomson Riviera.]

This kind of woman is just empty-headed; she can't understand anything.

[A house worth 300 million, if you share a secondary bedroom, the monthly rent would only be a little over 2000. Who's short of that little bit of money?]

"Um..." the woman hesitated.

Her property, which she had always been so proud of, seemed to be worth only a few thousand yuan a month after Zhang Zhe's analysis.

This made her logic fall apart.

Finally, he managed to squeeze out a question: "Then why is it that some women, who are also older and wealthy, and who also don't spend money on men, still have men who live off them?"

"You mean your best friend, right?"

"Yes, there's a girl in a similar situation to me. Lots of younger guys are giving her gifts."

"She may seem naive, but the young man thinks that if he marries her, he can get a share of her house and spend her money, so giving her gifts is considered an investment."

"It could also be volunteers caring for elderly people living alone."

"It's hard to say. What if your best friend accepts the gift? Cough cough... you know what I mean, right?"

Zhang Zhe only touched on the topic briefly, telling the woman, "Their situation probably has nothing to do with marriage."

"Okay, then I think, actually, I don't necessarily have to get married..."

"Yes. You should have done this a long time ago."

Zhang Zhe nodded, gave a thumbs-up, and praised the other party.

Almost every older woman who comes to the live-streaming matchmaking room to find a partner says something similar to save face after her illusions are shattered.

It's as if young puppies these days are so desperate that they can be caught just by paying a few hundred dollars a month.

However, Zhang Zhe's attitude towards them has always been encouraging.

It's fine to be stubborn, but don't come to the dating market and disgust normal people; that's considered doing a good deed.
