Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 772 The Capitalist's Daughter vs. the Tough Guy Military Officer (4)

The next morning, Shen Shuyi ate breakfast and went back to her room to change clothes before going out.

She changed into a light green floral dress, which made her waist look even slimmer and more graceful.

The girl in the mirror had fair and delicate skin, like a peeled egg. Her eyes were bright and lively, and her features were exquisite and beautiful, like a movie star.

She went out carrying a small bag, and the family who were having breakfast looked at her.

Shen Hui snorted, "Leaving without saying a word, how rude!"

Shi Lan patted the back of his hand, "Alright, she'll be married off in a few days, don't get angry over such a small thing."

In Shi Lan's eyes, marrying off this wicked daughter was as pleasant as getting rid of a hot potato.

"Yes, Dad, let me peel an egg for you, so you can eat more."

"Yuwei is so sensible." Shen Hui was very pleased.

While the family enjoyed a delicious breakfast, Shen Shuyi arrived at the place where she had arranged to meet Li Donghai, at the foot of the flood control wall on the Bund.

There are many couples on dates here, enjoying the beautiful river view side by side.

Shen Shuyi spotted Li Donghai immediately. He was about 1.75 meters tall, dressed in a white shirt and black pants, with a straight posture and a steely air about him. If she didn't know what kind of person Li Donghai was, she would have been deceived by his appearance.

Li Donghai came from a small mountain village and later joined the army. His family was very poor, and he coveted the original owner's family's wealth, so he often received subsidies from the original owner.

The expensive watch he was wearing was a gift from the original owner of the body.

But this scoundrel actually hooked up with a woman named Xiao Shu in the military's cultural troupe. The two started dating on the island where they were stationed, and they even reached the point of discussing marriage.

Li Donghai planned to marry one woman in his hometown and another in his post, so he could enjoy the pleasure of having two wives.

"Xiao Yi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Li Donghai looked intently at the girl in front of him, who was more beautiful than a flower. Unfortunately, apart from being a little rich and pretty, she had no substance. The more talented Xiao Shu was much more worthy of his respect.

Shen Shuyi curled her lips into a cold smile, "I just arrived too."

Li Donghai felt that something was off about her smile, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Xiaoyi, is there something you wanted to ask me out this time?"

Shen Shuyi stated frankly, "I came out this time because I want you to submit your marriage application."

"What?" Li Donghai asked in surprise.

Shen Shuyi slightly raised her chin. "Are you that surprised? Last month, your mother took a sum of money from me, saying it was as dowry. You've taken the money, but when are you planning to submit a marriage application to the military?"

Li Donghai's expression stiffened slightly.

If a marriage certificate is to be filed, it should be filed by him and Xiao Shu, whose family can help him get promoted.

If he and Shen Shuyi were to submit their marriage application, and the people on the island found out, the Xiao family would definitely not let him off the hook. In that case, everything would fall apart, and he would be finished.

He didn't want to go back to being that poor boy in the countryside who couldn't even get enough to eat!

Seeing him in a daze, Shen Shu asked, "You wouldn't be thinking of taking the dowry but not wanting to marry me, would you?"

Lee Donghae hesitated for a moment, then said, "I still need to discuss this with my mother."

Shen Shuyi sneered, "Why didn't your mother consult you when she took my money?"

"How can these two things be conflated? I have difficulty communicating on the island."

“It’s just a phone call!” Shen Shuyi interrupted him. “I’m making this clear today: either you go and file for marriage now, or we break up.”

Li Donghai never expected that the usually gentle Shen Shuyi would break up with him over such a small matter. He felt annoyed and frowned as he spoke.

"Marriage is not a trivial matter, Xiaoyi, please forgive me." "Li Donghai, have you fallen for someone else?" Shen Shuyi interrupted him.

Li Donghai's expression suddenly changed. Only his family knew he had a new lover in the army; no one in Shanghai knew. How could Shen Shuyi have guessed?
"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shen Shuyi could tell from the flicker in his eyes that the man was panicking.

"Would I have said this if I hadn't heard rumors? Is that person named Xiao Shu?"

Li Donghai panicked completely. "Who told you this nonsense? Comrade Xiao and I have nothing going on."

Shen Shuyi took a deep breath. "Last time I gave money to your mother, she said I was inefficient and not as straightforward as Xiao Shu because I was a day late."

"She also said that her son is now very successful, and that he's more than capable of marrying a leader's daughter!"

System 66 gasped: Dear host, did Li Donghai's mother really say these things?
"I was just messing with him. These two, mother and son, are so awful, it's only right that I stir things up a bit, isn't it?"

[Host is awesome!]
Li Donghai was furious; he had already told his mother to keep her mouth shut.

Who would have thought his mother would get so carried away with her triumph?

He suppressed his anger and said, "I can explain this to you. It was all my mom talking nonsense. Let's not talk about Xiaoyi's breakup anymore, okay?"

"Don't you know how true my feelings for you are?"

"Fine, if you don't want to admit it, then I'll go to the island to verify it. I'm going to ask Xiao Shu if she knows that Li Donghai has a fiancée back in his hometown!"

Li Donghai's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

He had worked so hard to climb to the position of deputy battalion commander. If Shen Shuyi went to the island and the Xiao family found out, he would be completely ruined!
If he can marry Xiao Shu, he'll be promoted to battalion commander next year without a doubt! And in a few years, he might even be promoted to regimental commander!

Right now, we can only make a decision as soon as possible.

It's a pity that I couldn't get more money from Shen Shuyi. She's a rich young lady, so that little bit of money is nothing to her. Why doesn't she show more filial piety to her mother?

If his mother is satisfied, will she say she's not good enough?
"Shen Shuyi, can you stop making a scene? Comrade Xiao and I are just ordinary comrades-in-arms!"

"If you're going to make such a scene, then let's just break up!"

Shen Shuyi stared at him and said, "Return the money and all the items I lent you over the years."

Li Donghai glanced at the expensive watch on his wrist; he had planned to give it to Xiao Shu as a birthday present when he returned.
"There's no reason to take back what's given away."

Her family is so rich, why would they care about such a small thing?!
Shen Shuyi crossed her arms in front of her and said, "Fine, I won't return it. Then I'll go to the military discipline inspection department and report your misconduct to them."

"You!" Li Donghai was furious. How could she have become so harsh!

He took off his watch, and Shen Shuyi snatched it away, waving her hand at the steel, waterproof, and shockproof Rolex she had bought for nine hundred yuan.

"You have three days to return to me the Bee brand sewing machine, the Forever bicycle, and the 1,000 yuan your mother borrowed last time, plus the total of over 6,000 yuan she has borrowed over the years, all in full."

"Otherwise, I'll report you!"

At this time, the Shen family still had a firm foothold in Shanghai, and Li Donghai dared not disobey.

But he was unwilling to give up. "So much time has passed, that money has long been spent. As a deputy battalion commander, my monthly salary is only ninety yuan. How can I possibly repay it?"

"Xiaoyi, for the sake of our past relationship, please don't worry about these material things."

"You have no feelings for me anymore, yet you still want to use feelings as an excuse?" Shen Shuyi mocked. "If you can't pay it back, just sell the house and let your family move into the family compound with you. That would save you a lot of money."

"How can we sell our house in our hometown? That's the root of our Li family."
