Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 255 - 250: The Gentle Water-like Battle

"Eating is eating," Qi Yi’s mother said with a smile.

"Then what do you mean, having met me now, you still can’t like me?" Yan Yan decided to ask outright.

"I just said that Qi Yi should find a gentle, well-educated lady of good family," Qi Yi’s mother said in the same gentle tone.

"What then?" Yan Yan’s tone was unusually gentle as well, accompanied by a look of eagerness.

"After that, you should know what to do," Qi Yi’s mother was pleased with Yan Yan’s reaction at the moment.

This girl might not be good at many things, but she was quite receptive to advice.

In high school, just one phone call from her had solved a huge problem for Qi Yi, allowing him to go to Peking University.

Now that they were sitting together and chatting face-to-face, it was naturally even more effective.

In Yan Yan’s memory, the phone call during which Qi Yi’s mother had urged her to convince Qi Yi to apply to Peking University had been very intense.

Could it be that the so-called intensity was just a figment of the slightly naive Yan Yan after being "scared" by Qi Yi’s mother?

Memories that had been dormant in Yan Yan began to resurface vividly.

The last time Qi Yi’s mother had called her, the content of the conversation wasn’t very pleasant, but her tone wasn’t hysterical either.

Not only that, Qi Yi’s mother had also mentioned how harmonious the family of three, including Mr. Qi and Qi Yi, was and how obedient and hardworking Qi Yi had been since childhood, among other things.

Facing someone she did not like, Qi Yi’s mother still managed to appear amiable.

This level of skill was quite high.

Yan Yan knew she definitely couldn’t achieve that.

Yan Yan had already been scared by Qi Yi’s mother twice.

The first time, she had chosen to break up with Qi Yi; the second time, she had hugged Bao Bao and cried.

And those times were just over phone calls.

This time, being a direct confrontation, theoretically speaking, Yan Yan should have been absolutely "petrified."

But strangely, Yan Yan didn’t feel frightened at all.

She was neither angry nor ashamed.

The only unusual feeling she had inside was pity for Qi Yi.

Qi Yi grew up with such a mother and still managed to be mentally and physically healthy, which was truly remarkable.

Yan Yan thought it over and felt she shouldn’t just lose and leave dejectedly again.

Over the past year, the communication between Qi Yi and his mother clearly hadn’t achieved what Qi Yi had hoped for.

After Qi Yi’s mother said, "You should know what to do," she seemed to have an air of confidence.

"Auntie, I’m sorry, but I really don’t know what I should do," Yan Yan expressed a new perspective to Qi Yi’s mother, not being as quick to understand as Mrs. Qi might have imagined.

"You knew what to do when you were in high school, how could you not know now?" Mrs. Qi was not in a hurry, completely coaxing.

"I’m sorry, I might have become dumber as I’ve lived, I really don’t quite understand the meaning of your words just now," Yan Yan looked expectantly for Mrs. Qi to clear her confusion.

"Then let me be direct, I think you should break up with our Qi Yi," Mrs. Qi finally stopped beating around the bush.

"Are you telling me to dump Qi Yi just like in high school?" Yan Yan confirmed the intent of her words with Qi Yi’s mother.

Qi Yi’s mother was taken aback, then unable to continue speaking to Yan Yan with a smile on her face.

What does it mean to just dump Qi Yi?

Her Qi Yi was so casually dumped by someone like Yan Yan?

But Mrs. Qi quickly switched back to a kindly expression.

What could this shameless girl not say?

As long as breaking up makes this person feel good about herself, what’s the problem?

If she could split them up once, she could do it a second time, and on this point, Mrs. Qi was still very confident.

"Yes, I meant for you to break up with Qi Yi," Qi Yi’s mother gave a straightforward reply, of course removing the word "dump."

"Auntie, I understand what you mean," Yan Yan responded affirmatively.

"That’s good, that’s good." After the successful maneuver, Mrs. Qi beamed with joy.

"But Auntie, the words you just said, they’re of no use to me.

I obediently followed through with dumping Qi Yi back in high school.

Cleanly and thoroughly, without a shred of attachment, without any dragging of feet.

You should be aware of this, right?" Yan Yan was well aware of the state Qi Yi was in when she said they should break up.

"You did the right thing," Mrs. Qi finally felt a sense of teaching a teachable child.

"But Auntie, dumping Qi Yi unilaterally was useless.

You might not know, but I hid away in Melbourne afterward, and I haven’t contacted Qi Yi since.

Qi Yi somehow managed to travel across half the Earth to Melbourne to find me.

If I didn’t want to be with him, he would act as if life and death depended on it.

He even said that without me, he’d suffer from nervous breakdown and wouldn’t be able to sleep all year.

Do you know he even went to see a doctor because of this?" Yan Yan mimicked the respectful tone.

After hearing this, Qi Yi’s mother just smiled, "A girl, shameless as she is, should have some limits."

Her outstanding son being so clingy over a girl was something that simply wouldn’t have happened.

"Since you have no attachment, then that’s for the best. After all, our Qi Yi is meant to find a gentle, well-read young lady of good family," Mrs. Qi’s face was expressionless now.

"As for what you emphasized earlier about being gentle and well-read,

to me, it’s a matter of perspective.

After all, everyone interprets idioms in their own way.

But if we’re talking about being a lady of good family, I’m rather coincidentally one.

Firstly, physically speaking, my house is indeed quite large.

Secondly, in terms of talent, career, or appearance, there isn’t anyone in Qi Yi’s circle who can compare to me.

Furthermore, when it comes to family background, there are plenty lined up wishing they could enter my family without decades of struggle.

You have raised Qi Yi into such an exceptional man, which is definitely something you can be proud of.

Similarly, if Qi Yi could marry me, that would also be something he could be extremely proud of.

I don’t know if Qi Yi has mentioned to you, but he’s working so hard now to be worthy of a ’lady’s’ credentials. freewebnσvel.cѳm

The lady of good family in Qi Yi’s eyes, looks just like me," Yan Yan spoke with conviction, her smile sincere, bringing "shameless" to a whole new level.

Yan Yan’s purpose was clear; if Qi Yi’s mother kept pretending in front of Qi Yi that she had accepted Yan Yan, then no matter how much Qi Yi communicated, it would be fruitless.

"Our Qi Yi, matching with anyone would be lowering his standards! Before, I thought you were shameless but could still understand human language, now how come you can’t even understand that? In any case, you should break up with our Qi Yi as quickly as possible." Qi Yi’s mother’s patience had instantly reached its limit.
