Chapter 223 - 141: A Dowry Ten Times the Bride Price? Chen Mo Goes All-in with 100 Million
Chen Mo was slightly taken aback by her words.
He had just said it offhandedly before, thinking Aunt Li was just being polite.
Who would have thought she’d actually take him seriously and find him a blind date?
"Aunt Li, I think young people should still focus on their careers..."
Chen Mo thought for a moment and tried to politely decline.
’Marriage? Whoever wants to get married can go ahead.’
’I’m definitely not the marrying type.’
"Take a look. This is her photo. Is she your type?"
Aunt Li, ignoring Chen Mo’s words, pulled up a photo on her phone.
Chen Mo glanced at it. The woman was quite good-looking.
A solid 7/10 beauty, dressed fashionably and elegantly, covered head-to-toe in designer brands.
But considering Aunt Li was the one making the introduction, it went without saying that her family was well-off. Designer brands were standard issue.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call this girl a rich, beautiful heiress.
"This girl’s father was my classmate, and her mother is my mahjong partner. I know the family inside and out."
"She’s an only daughter, the only child. The family is in business. In today’s popular slang, their family assets are around A10.2."
"I also got her details from her mom: 26 years old, three years older than you, 165cm tall, 48kg, Leo, ENFJ, studied design overseas, currently working in Modu, has dated..."
It was clear Aunt Li had really done her homework; she wasn’t just trying to brush Chen Mo off with a random introduction.
She told Chen Mo all the girl’s specific details.
How detailed was she?
She even knew the girl was an ENFJ and had found out exactly how many boyfriends she’d had.
As for her family’s assets and what business they were in, that went without saying. Aunt Li knew it all like the back of her hand.
After hearing all this, Chen Mo was at a loss for words.
Although he had no intention of going on a blind date or getting married, he had to admit, a matchmaker like Aunt Li was the real deal.
When she set someone up, she really got all the information for you.
Not like those other bizarre matchmakers who knew nothing but the other person’s gender.
"Chen Mo, what do you think of this girl?"
Aunt Li asked with a smile after finishing her introduction.
"Thank you, Auntie. The girl is great, but I still think I’m too young..."
"Her parents told me that their daughter’s dowry will be 10 times the bride price."
Chen Mo was just about to politely refuse again, but he was cut off by Aunt Li’s next sentence.
Suddenly, the rest of the words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.
The dowry is how many times the bride price?
times?
Hearing this, Chen Mo’s eyes instantly lit up.
’Who can even understand this, people? A dowry 10 times the bride price!’
His cousin back home paid a bride price of several hundred thousand, and the dowry was just a few quilts.
But the girl Aunt Li was introducing him to came with a dowry that was 10 times the bride price.
Who could possibly resist that?
"DING!"
Just then, the familiar notification sound rang in Chen Mo’s mind.
He froze for a second. ’Is my bad luck coming?’
And it happened right after Aunt Li said what she said.
’Is this telling me there’s a problem with the 10x dowry?’
’If I actually agree to this, will I have bad luck?’
’Good luck always follows bad luck, so I’m not scared at all. I can go for it!’
Chen Mo quickly thought it over. Since the ’ding’ had sounded, he had nothing to fear.
He just had to charge ahead.
The rest he’d leave to the ’god’ that was his unique constitution.
In the end, he didn’t know who would get tricked and lose out big time, but he was definitely going to win big.
"It’s just that this girl is three years older than you."
"And they require having two children, one to take the mother’s surname and one to take the father’s."
Aunt Li seemed to think the age difference was a problem and that Chen Mo might not be able to accept it.
"Aunt Li, there’s a saying: ’Marry a woman three years your senior, and you’ll be holding gold bricks.’"
"As for having two kids, I have no problem with that—it’s responding to the nation’s call to have more children. And as for the surname? What era are we living in? Who cares about that?"
Chen Mo immediately shook his head. ’Is that three years?’
’That’s a solid gold brick!’
As for having two kids, with one taking the mother’s surname, that was even less of a problem.
They were offering a dowry 10 times the bride price just to have one kid with their surname. That condition was practically no condition at all.
Besides, the ’ding’ had already sounded, which definitely meant this matter wasn’t so simple.
This marriage would surely fall through in the end, so all these conditions were just for show.
Therefore, he could agree to any condition.
Never mind having two kids with one taking the mother’s surname.
Even if they asked him to be a live-in son-in-law, he’d have no problem with it.
"Chen Mo, no wonder you’re so successful at such a young age. Your perspective and mindset are truly extraordinary."
Hearing this, Aunt Li looked at him with a face full of admiration. ’This young man has such a great outlook.’
"Alright then, give me your detailed information later. I’ll talk to the girl’s parents and see when you two are free to arrange a meeting."
Seeing that Chen Mo had no objections, Aunt Li immediately started making arrangements for them to meet.
"Aunt Li, is the dowry guaranteed?"
Chen Mo asked very seriously.
He suspected the ’ding’ was related to either the 10x dowry or the girl herself.
That girl was a classic rich, beautiful heiress, and her family was even offering a dowry 10 times the bride price.
For someone like that to still be unmarried, there had to be a reason.
Otherwise, the opportunity probably wouldn’t have even come to him.
Either there was a problem with the dowry, or there was a problem with the person.
But Aunt Li probably didn’t know either. Otherwise, given her straightforward and generous personality, she wouldn’t have made the introduction.
"Absolutely guaranteed. All of us neighbors in this villa complex know that Sister Zhou’s family is offering a 10x dowry."
"If they try to go back on their word and not pay up, their family won’t be able to show their faces around here anymore."
