Having bought almost everything, Shen Shuyi found a spacious, less crowded place to sit for a while, deciding to continue buying later if she remembered anything else.
Unexpectedly, I saw an annoying person.
Li Donghai spotted Shen Shuyi the moment she appeared; her appearance and temperament were simply too outstanding, making her the most eye-catching person in the crowd.
His first instinct was to leave because he couldn't pay back the money.
But when he saw Shen Shuyi interacting so intimately with a man, he couldn't move on.
"What are you looking at? When are you going to pay me back?" Shen Shuyi asked Li Donghai coldly as she passed by.
Li Donghai felt ashamed. His mother was making a huge fuss and refused to sell the house. What could he do?!
She was so unforgiving and aggressive, showing no regard for their past relationship, that he couldn't help but feel angry and embarrassed. "You can't return something you've given away!"
"No, I'll have someone come and empty your house later. If the neighbors laugh at you, how will the Li family be able to get along in this area?"
"Then I'll report you to the disciplinary committee and get you removed from your position."
"You! Shen Shuyi, you're ruthless!" Just as Li Donghai was uttering these harsh words, a woman with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face walked over with a boy who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.
He started cursing as soon as he arrived, "You dare to curse my son? I'll tear your mouth off!"
Li's mother used to fawn over Shen Shuyi on the surface, but behind her back she would gossip and slander her. One moment she would complain that this pampered young lady would not be able to do any work after she married into the family, and the next she would complain that this pampered young lady would not be able to have children. Even if she had some money, she was not good enough for her son who was in the army!
Shen Shuyi crossed her arms in front of her, her face calm. "If you touch me, I'll have the police arrest you."
"This is not a family matter, after all, your son and I have already broken off our engagement."
"What did you say?" Li's mother froze. She thought this pampered young lady was just throwing a tantrum at her son. Did she really actually break off the engagement?
Fine, I'll back out! Her son's going to marry the boss's daughter!
But such a big thing as breaking off an engagement should be brought up by his son. It would be so embarrassing for the woman to say that she broke off the engagement!
"Ma'am, are you getting old and hard of hearing?"
Li's mother's face immediately darkened. "Shen Shuyi, is it proper for you to speak to your elders like that?"
"A spoiled and shrewish person like you, without my son, I don't know who would dare to want you. You'll never get married in your life!"
Just as Shen Shuyi was about to retort, Yan Zheng stepped forward and stood in front of her, facing the Li family.
"Madam, please watch your words."
At this moment, everyone's attention was once again focused on Yan Zheng.
In fact, Li Donghai had been very interested in Yan Zheng, who was next to Shen Shuyi, from the very beginning. Not to mention how famous Yan Zheng was in the Qiongzhou Military Region, his physique and temperament made him hard to ignore.
Why didn't he greet him from the start? Li Donghai felt he couldn't afford to lose face in front of his superiors. After all, Yan Zheng was a full-fledged regimental commander, while he was a subordinate being chased by his ex-girlfriend for debts. How could he possibly have the nerve to greet him?!
Li's mother didn't recognize Yan Zheng, and when she saw him defending Shen Shuyi, she glared at him angrily, "Who are you? What business is it of yours if I talk to her?!"
"My name is Yan Zheng, and I am Comrade Shen's fiancé." Yan Zheng's voice was firm and resolute, making Li's mother feel as if she had been slapped in the face.
Just a moment ago, I was saying that no one wanted her, but it turns out her fiancé is right there beside her!
Li Donghai didn't believe it. He knew Yan Zheng fairly well. He was an oddball on Hainan Island. He was very hardworking on missions and was once seriously injured. He heard that Yan Zheng was impotent. He had never been seen getting close to any female comrades.
I heard that a woman had always had feelings for him, but she backed down when she found out he was injured.
Now he actually has a fiancée, and that person is Shen Shuyi.
He didn't believe it.
Li Donghai couldn't help but ask Shen Shuyi, "What's going on with you, Xiaoyi? Are you really engaged to Commander Yan?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Shen Shuyi repeated, "Pay back the money quickly."
Lee Donghae's pupils constricted. They'd only broken up a few days ago? And she's already engaged to another man?!
No wonder he was making a scene, demanding to break off the engagement and pay back the money; it turns out he had already found someone else!
"Shen Shuyi, did you and Commander Yan already...?"
"Slap!" Before he could finish speaking, Shen Shuyi raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
"Watch your mouth. Do you think everyone is as shameless as you in cheating? Don't think I don't know about your infidelity on the island!"
Li Donghai covered his burning cheek and glared at Shen Shuyi.
When Li's mother saw her son being beaten, she lunged at Shen Shuyi to tear him apart, but the tall Yan Zheng stood in front of Shen Shuyi, preventing the shrew from taking a single step.
Yan Zheng said sternly, "This is a private matter between Comrade Li and Comrade Shen. Auntie, you'd better not interfere. Otherwise, we'll all go to the police station to resolve this."
"Let's also mediate the matter of Comrade Li owing Comrade Chen money."
Li's mother was cursing and swearing, and Li Donghai couldn't accept that Shen Shuyi had hit him.
"Shen Shuyi, you actually laid a hand on me. You usually seem so delicate and weak, I never expected you to be so fierce."
Shen Shuyi said coldly, "You start by slandering me. I'm being lenient by hitting you."
Li Donghai's face was extremely ugly. Shen Shuyi used to be so devoted to him, but now she's with another man so quickly. He's starting to doubt whether Shen Shuyi's feelings for him were ever real.
Li Donghai had nowhere to hide his pride, and driven by his strong sense of self-esteem, he reached out and pulled at Shen Shuyi, trying to bring her to her senses.
Don't just marry any man after a breakup.
You have to be careful who you play the "playing hard to get" game with; someone like Yan Zheng is someone they can't afford to offend!
"Xiaoyi, come here, I have something to say to you alone."
