Cherry Miller looked up at Shawn Shi, her face speechless.
After Shawn Shi finished his speech, he looked at Cherry Miller with eager eyes: "So? My conditions might not sound great, but I'm a good person! I may not have a handsome face or a prestigious family, I may not have piles of money or fancy cars and mansions, and yes, I'm still pretty broke right now, but I have a heart that loves you! Cherry, would you be with me? I promise I'll make you happy!"
Cherry Miller lowered her eyes. Years of experience had taught her to stay calm in the face of flattery.
Otherwise, she would have already thrown a shoe at him.
"If I had no money, no status, no flashy family background, and nothing to rely on, would you still choose me?" Cherry Miller replied seriously, "And my family wouldn't give me a single cent for a dowry, because we're poor and have a few million in external debt. Every cent I earn goes to support them. Plus, after marriage, I wouldn't want kids because I'd need to work overtime to pay off the debt. Would you still choose me?"
When Shawn Shi heard Cherry Miller say this, he looked at her in disbelief: "How is that possible? You're a student at Saint Diana Academy! You live in a mansion! You have cars registered under your name. How could you possibly be poor?"
"What if I told you all that is borrowed?" Cherry Miller replied flatly, "I live in a villa because I'm just one of the tenants there. I drive a car because my boss lent it to me temporarily—just until I graduate, then he'll take it back. I study at Saint Diana Academy because my employer studies there, and I'm responsible for taking care of her. My monthly salary is only ten thousand, and I have to send eight thousand home to pay off debts. So, do you still like me?"
"Is everything you said true?" Shawn Shi's expression suddenly changed.
He was no longer so enthusiastic, and instead began to slowly distance himself from Cherry Miller.
"It's true." Cherry Miller deliberately put on a sincere expression and said, "If you don't believe me, I can call right now to prove it."
Shawn Shi still looked unconvinced.
Cherry Miller actually dialed Yina Yin's number.
Yina Yin was watching the livestream, so of course she had to play along with Cherry Miller's act!
As soon as the call connected, Yina Yin deliberately played the role of a spoiled and domineering heiress, raising her voice and shouting, "Where are you right now? Taking my money and sneaking off for personal errands—how do you justify your ten-thousand-yuan salary? If your family wasn't so poor and didn't owe millions in debt, I wouldn't have hired you as my maid!"
Cherry Miller was actually struggling to hold back her laughter, but kept a straight face as she said seriously to Shawn Shi, "See? That's my boss. Pretty fierce, right? But I have no choice—if I want to pay off my debts, I have to swallow my pride and work! Otherwise, I wouldn't have money to eat. And don't be fooled by these fancy meals; I always find an excuse to get my boss to reimburse them! In reality, I only get about two thousand yuan a month for myself."
"Only two thousand?" Shawn Shi hesitated, as expected.
If she were a rich heiress, he could probably settle for that.
But if she was just a maid with that much debt, he'd really have to think it over.
Still, Cherry Miller was so cute and delicate. It would be a real shame to miss out on a woman this beautiful.
After thinking it over, Shawn Shi said, "Alright then. I won't mind your family's poverty. But you can't bring your family's debt into our household—that wouldn't be fair. After we get married, your salary card can't be used to pay off your family's debt anymore; it must be handed over to my mom for safekeeping. And once we're married, you have to have a child right away. It has to be a boy. If you do all that, I'll plead with my mom and she'll accept you for my sake."
Suddenly, Cherry Miller felt she had completely lost the ability to communicate with such a bizarre, chauvinistic man.
Shawn Shi added, "Since you're young and still a virgin, I won't hold anything else against you. But if you're not a virgin, then just pretend I never said any of this today!"
Cherry Miller was dumbfounded!
Yina Yin and Ethan Yin, who were watching the livestream, were also dumbfounded!
Kui Sheng, who was secretly watching, was dumbfounded too!
Today, Shawn Shi opened a brand new—no, a completely new—door to the world for them!
Turns out, there's no such thing as the weirdest—only weirder!
Listening to Shawn Shi's shameless, self-important speech, the onlookers instantly felt the intense hostility of life's melodrama.
So much so that, at this moment, not one of them could say a single word.
Life really is a melodrama!
