"Heh, then just wait for me to call the disciplinary committee and report you." Shen Shuyi said coldly. "I've kept all the letters we exchanged."
Li Donghai gritted his teeth upon hearing this, staring intently at Shen Shuyi's beautiful face. This two-faced woman was extremely reserved when she was dating him, refusing to even hold his hand. He thought she was some innocent little white rabbit, but she turned out to be a black-hearted and wicked woman!
He's going to be promoted to the rank of battalion commander this year, and it would be a huge loss if Shen Shuyi caused this mess!
He could return the sewing machine and bicycle, but the six thousand yuan had already been mostly spent by his mother and him on bribes and entertaining guests.
His mother was a rural woman who used to be very frugal. It's all Shen Shuyi's fault for spoiling her appetite. She spends money extravagantly and loves to compare herself to others. I wonder how much she has left now.
Are we really going to have to sell the old house?
His dad would probably get up from the ground and yell at him for being an unfilial son!
"Xiaoyi, I really can't come up with that much money all at once. Can you give me some more time? I swear, I will definitely pay you back as soon as I have the money."
"Got money? Won't you need to spend money to marry Xiao Shu?"
"Raising a child is free?"
"With your salary of just over a hundred yuan, it will be ages before you pay me back."
"Li Donghai, you're not trying to renege on your debt, are you?"
Seeing the contempt in her eyes, Li Donghai became enraged. "Then what do you want? I don't have that much money right now!"
Shen Shuyi snorted, "I don't care if you sell the house or borrow money. I'm only giving you three days. If I don't get the money after three days, those letters of complaint will be sent to the Discipline Inspection Commission office!"
Li Donghai was furious at her heartless attitude. "Fine, Shen Shuyi, you're very good."
"Don't regret it after the breakup!"
Shen Shuyi turned and left, waving behind her, "Only those who can't pay back the money in three days should regret it."
She hadn't taken more than a few steps when she heard an emergency notification from the system.
[Dear host, Yan Zheng is nearby, and... he might have even overheard your conversation with Li Donghai!]
Shen Shuyi only asked, "Does he recognize me?"
[Perhaps... he wouldn't recognize you, after all, even though you're engaged, you haven't seen each other much. He's been stationed at his post and only recently returned home to visit relatives.]
Shen Shuyi nodded. "It's understandable that you wouldn't recognize him, because... in the original owner's memories, Yan Zheng's face was also very blurry."
System 66 thoughtfully provided guidance to Shen Shuyi, with an invisible red thread leading the way; following the red thread would lead to the destination.
Following the red thread, Shen Shuyi spotted Yan Zheng at a glance.
The first thing you see is a tall figure. The man has a buzz cut, deep-set features, a straight nose, and eyes that are intimidating even without anger.
A white shirt and dress trousers, paired with a belt, accentuated his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs in an extremely alluring way...
Shen Shuyi subconsciously glanced at the man again.
"66, he looks so cool and brave."
Shen Shuyi walked in his direction and deliberately brushed past him.
When Yan Zheng was bumped, she quickly said, "Sorry."
"Comrade, did I hurt you?"
Yan Zheng met the girl's bright eyes. Wasn't this the same woman who had been arguing so fiercely just moments before?
"fine."
"Be more careful when you walk in the future."
Shen Shuyi felt that the sunlight was completely blocked by the man in front of her. He was too tall and imposing. "Okay, thank you for the reminder, comrade."
Yan Zheng nodded slightly and turned to leave.
This was just a minor incident.
He never expected to see this straightforward young girl again the next day.
At that time, Yan Zheng and his parents brought gifts to the Shen family's gate. They immediately saw a girl in a pink dress sitting in front of the sofa. The sunlight from the window shone in, making her face and forearm skin glow white.
When the girl looked up, her bright and beautiful eyes startled Yan Zheng, who awkwardly looked away.
Seeing their son's sullen appearance, the strict father and mother couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that this marriage proposal had to be called off, so as not to delay the good girl's future.
The two elders greeted each other, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then got down to business.
In the hall, Shen Shuyi sat next to the Shen couple, while Shen Yuwei had disappeared, seemingly afraid that Yan Zheng would take a liking to her and pester her.
Shen Shuyi greeted her strict parents in a soft voice, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
"Oh, so you must be Xiaoyi. It's been a long time since I've seen you. You've grown even more beautiful," said Yan's mother, Chi Yue, with a smile, and then asked Yan Zheng to come over and greet her.
"Xiao Yi, this is Yan Zheng. He is currently stationed on the island and is on leave to visit his family."
Shen Shuyi looked up at Yan Zheng and said, "Hello, Comrade Yan."
"Hello, Comrade Shen." Yan Zheng spoke in a formal and methodical manner, but fortunately his voice was magnetic and pleasant to listen to.
"The main reason I've come here is to discuss the marriage between the two children," said Yan Tianyou, the father.
Shen Hui nodded to indicate that he had no objection. "The children are all grown up and it is indeed time for them to get married. Our Shen family has no objection to this marriage."
The Yan couple were taken aback. They had thought... the Shen family would at least hesitate, after all, they knew their son had been wounded on the battlefield...
Yan Tianyou said, "But A-Zheng was injured, which might delay Xiao Yi's work."
Chi Yue chimed in, "We've come here mainly to dissolve the engagement."
Now it was the Shen family's turn to be dumbfounded.
So all their planning these past few days was just a joke, a complete blunder?
The Yan family took the initiative to break off the engagement, so why are they still worried?
Before they could answer, the Yan family spoke again.
“It was our son, Azheng, who delayed Xiaoyi. We will do our best to make amends.” Yan Tianyou handed a gift list to the Shen couple.
