Chapter 105: No Problem Taking Half the Family Fortune

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: No Problem Taking Half the Family Fortune

Zhang Zhe suddenly had a bold theory.

This theory was based on the fact that Sister Zhou had given him a heads-up beforehand.

If this woman was just a simple divorcée, there would be no need for a warning. He would just need to help her polish her personal profile.

"Miss, I’m currently the sole heir to a family business."

Zhang Zhe emphasized Hui Zi’s personal circumstances:

"And I’m thirty-four, the perfect age to have a son."

"If you marry into my family and can’t have children, we’ll end up divorcing sooner or later. Then you’ll be a two-time divorcée, and that would be... you know."

[Brother Zhang, you’re pretty convincing as a rich heir.]

[This girl might have some issues with her private life.]

[Can you men stop spreading rumors? Does being unable to have kids automatically mean she has a shady private life? What if it’s a genetic disease?]

[Just a guess: she’s had an abortion. More than one.]

The livestream viewers analyzed the situation based on one guiding principle: pure intuition.

And sometimes, that intuition was frighteningly accurate.

This was really a product of the domestic environment. A "bad girl" overseas might have done meth, been a sugar baby, or joined a gang. But in this country, the "bad girl" package was just dating too young, bullying, tattoos, and abortions.

No matter what, as long as they didn’t leave the country, they couldn’t get into any truly exotic trouble.

Everyone had long since grown accustomed to it.

That’s why the viewers’ guesses sometimes lined up perfectly with the intelligence provided by the system:

[High-Value Intelligence]

[Your matchmaking target, Tang Hong, had multiple abortions during her school days due to dating young, leaving her infertile. Her ex-husband chose to divorce her after discovering this sordid past;

After the divorce, Tang Hong’s parents grounded her at home and hired a special tutor to coach her, hoping to marry her off again;

Even if the Host insists on being a kept man, it is advised to pick a better candidate. This one is truly unsuitable.]

After reading the intel, Zhang Zhe felt everything now made perfect sense.

The woman’s physical problem was a massive red flag. Almost no wealthy family would accept a daughter-in-law like this.

Her parents had probably worried themselves sick over this daughter.

Now that he knew the woman’s problem, the rest would be easy.

He just had to make her back down on her own.

"I can definitely have children," the woman insisted, her story suddenly changing as if someone next to her was feeding her lines. "I said I didn’t know earlier because my ex-husband has already passed away."

"Some things are in the past, so I didn’t want to bring them up again."

"But didn’t you just bring them up now?" Zhang Zhe had a look of utter confusion.

"I have to say it, or it will reflect poorly on me," the woman said in an aggrieved tone. "I actually got pregnant before, but I had a miscarriage."

"Because my husband was abusive."

"SOB SOB SOB..."

[Don’t cry, sis.]

[It’s okay, it’s not your fault.]

[I knew there was something wrong, but it seems like it wasn’t her fault.]

[No wonder she was so evasive! So he was an abuser. That explanation makes too much sense.]

The comments were right.

This explanation was too reasonable.

Her ex-husband’s domestic abuse caused the miscarriage. This provided a reason for the divorce, and an explanation for the miscarriage on her medical report.

It even painted her as a vulnerable victim.

A woman who was abused by her ex-husband to the point of miscarriage, yet still thought to protect his dignity... just how submissive was she? How perfectly did she fit Hui Zi’s requirements?

The image of Sister Zhou surfaced in Zhang Zhe’s mind.

’Professional matchmakers are on another level. It’s a shame celebrities don’t hire them for PR cleanup.’

Being divorced was a major flaw, but she was born after 2000, after all. Youth was her greatest asset. Plus, her family was in the tourism industry while Hui Zi’s family owned hotels. A marriage alliance could create a synergy where one plus one was greater than two.

Too bad she was lying.

That meant she got a zero, right off the bat.

The matchmaking market was just like that. One lie and all your points were automatically reset to zero. The foundation of matchmaking is honesty. It’s already hard enough for two strangers to form a family; lying is just blatant fraud.

"From the sound of it, you seem like you can put up with a lot, right?"

"Mm, as long as I’m not hit," the woman replied, her voice choked with emotion.

"That’s certainly not a high bar."

"Then can you be a full-time housewife?"

"I can. I know how to cook and do laundry. My parents were busy with work when I was younger, so I was the one who took care of my two younger sisters at home."

"Oh, I see."

If the woman hadn’t brought it up, Zhang Zhe would have almost forgotten.

She was the eldest child in a multi-child family.

As the sayings go, "an eldest brother is like a father," and "an eldest sister is like a mother." These were words born from experience.

Of the many multi-child families that emerged in the 60s and 70s, the eldest child was often the most down-to-earth and the most resilient.

With a personality like that, getting yelled at by her mother-in-law would surely be no problem.

What a thoroughly customized matchmaking session this was!

This woman was practically tailor-made for Hui Zi. The more he thought about it, the more suitable she seemed. If not for her marriage history, Hui Zi’s mother would probably be willing to roll out the red carpet to welcome her into the family.

"From the looks of it, you and I are indeed quite a good match."

"Really?" The woman let out a sigh of relief.

"Hold on, let me see what the man of the hour has to say."

Zhang Zhe found an excuse and opened WeChat. As expected, Hui Zi had been messaging him nonstop.

The guy had been lurking in the livestream the whole time.

[Brother Zhang, she was born after 2000 and has been married before. Is she really a match for a bachelor like me?]

[Huh? Can she still have kids?]

[Her personality is really great, I think my mom would like her.]

[It’s a shame. I met her too late. Otherwise, I would 100% pursue her. Now I have to ask about the conditions for marriage and think it over.]

Hui Zi was clearly smitten.

He even sent over a photo of the woman. It was an artistic shot in a traditional style, and she indeed looked pitiably lovely.

Men, after all, have an impulse to rescue women.

Zhang Zhe replied directly:

"???"

"If she couldn’t have children anymore, could you still accept her?"

Hui Zi paused for a moment, then replied, "If she really can’t conceive, it’s okay. We can do IVF."

"What if IVF doesn’t work either?"

"IVF won’t work either? Holy crap, Brother Zhang, are you saying she’s had many miscarriages?"

"My god, her ex-husband must have been a huge problem."

Zhang Zhe’s face darkened when he saw Hui Zi’s message. "Why do you care about her ex-husband? Worry about yourself!"

"Of course I can’t accept it, Brother Zhang. I’m the sole heir for three generations."

"But then again, how do you know IVF wouldn’t work for her?"

Zhang Zhe thought for a moment and replied, "I don’t know. I’m just guessing."

As a matchmaker, this was as much as he could hint at.

For the rest, he hoped Hui Zi would have the sense to figure it out. If he didn’t even take the woman for a medical check-up after all this, then not even the gods could save him.

Meanwhile, Sister Zhou was watching Zhang Zhe’s livestream, sitting opposite the matchmaking candidate, Tang Hong, and Tang Hong’s parents.

She gritted her teeth and said to Tang Hong’s parents, "Can you find a way to get a fake gynecology report from a Grade-A Tertiary hospital?"

"Since the man’s side has already asked about her pregnancy history, a medical check-up is unavoidable. A fake report is the only way to get through this."

"Once you get past that and they’re married, find a way to create marital conflict, make the guy screw up, and get a huge chunk of his money."

"The medical report is easy," Father Tang nodded. "But about this marital conflict... Teacher Zhou, could you give us some pointers?"

"Don’t you go online?" Sister Zhou asked, puzzled. "The relationship has broken down, you’re living separately, you proactively invite him over, and then you accuse him of rape."

"You should have no problem taking half of his family’s hotels at that point."

"Understood," Father Tang nodded. "So, should we end the livestream?"

"Not yet. Let’s see what Zhang Zhe says."

In the livestream, Zhang Zhe looked at the final decision Hui Zi had sent him:

[Brother Zhang, help me turn this woman down. Just tell her... I don’t want my son to live in a haunted house.]

"???"

Zhang Zhe was stunned speechless by Hui Zi’s message.

’Dude, have some class! How am I supposed to use a reason like that to reject her?’
