Chapter 182: Who gave you the confidence? The final ultimatum to Xu Damao

Hearing Yu Li's words, Xu Damao's eyes darted away:

"No, no."

"I, I'm really fine."

Lin Shengli gave a cold chuckle and asked:

"Xu Damao, I just want to ask you one thing: do you really want to date Yu Haitang?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Haitang couldn't help but glance toward Lin Shengli, silently thinking:

"Could it be that he likes me?"

"Could it be that he would divorce for me?"

Xu Damao frowned: "This, Victory, what, what do you mean?"

Lin Shengli: "Considering you've been decent to me, I also don't want to expose your old secrets."

"I'll say it one last time: forget about your thing with Haitang; you must not harm her."

"We're all neighbors and fellow villagers."

Yu Haitang: "No, Factory Director Lin, why would you say that?"

"I and Xu Damao are unmarried, so there's no question of who harms whom."

"You, you wouldn't be liking me, would you?"

Yu Li: "Haitang, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Yu Haitang, full of confidence: "I'm not spouting nonsense."

"If Factory Director Lin doesn't like me, why would he stop me from being with Xu Damao?"

"But, Factory Director Lin, you already have a wife."

Lin Shengli smiled and said: "Yu Haitang, who gave you this confidence? If it weren't for the face of Third Elder, Yan Jiecheng, and your sister, I really wouldn't bother with this matter."

Having said that, he turned to Xu Damao and continued:

"Damao, this is my final advice to you."

"If you don't listen, then don't blame me for being impolite."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

Yu Haitang shouted at his back:

"No, Factory Director Lin, what exactly do you mean?"

"Can you please explain it clearly?"

Yu Haitang had already made up her mind.

If Lin Shengli truly liked her and was willing to divorce for her, she would marry Lin Shengli.

Who knew Lin Shengli would say without turning back:

"Yu Haitang, you're really overconfident."

"Women like you, I have zero interest in."

Yu Haitang: "......"

Yu Haitang was greatly devastated.

All the men she had met before tried to flatter and curry favor with her.

Yet Lin Shengli actually said he had no interest in her?

It's really embarrassing.

Xu Damao frowned, then said to Yu Haitang:

"Haitang, come out, I have something to say to you."

After saying that, Xu Damao let out a long sigh, glanced at Yu Li, and walked out.

Yu Haitang looked at Xu Damao's back, then at Yu Li, and also walked out.

Arriving at the gate of the Siheyuan, Xu Damao let out a long sigh and said to Yu Haitang:

"Haitang, I'm truly sorry."

"I didn't expect your sister to oppose so strongly."

Yu Haitang frowned and asked:

"What, what do you mean?"

"Just because your sister opposes, you forgot your promise to me?"

Xu Damao: "I, I haven't forgotten."

"But without your sister's blessing, I think we should not get married for now."

Yu Haitang frowned even more: "Xu Damao, what do you mean?"

"My sister has always opposed it."

"You never said you wouldn't marry."

"On the contrary, you kept saying you wanted to marry me as soon as possible."

"No, are you afraid of Lin Shengli?"

"Why would you be afraid of him?"

Xu Damao: "No, Haitang, you don't understand."

"I, I'm really sorry to you."

"I also didn't expect things to turn out like this."

"I thought as long as we persisted, your sister would bless us."

"I thought as long as we persisted, your sister would bless us."

Yu Haitang angrily said, "So you mean you don't want to marry me?"

Xu Damao thought for a moment, looked around, and said softly:

"Let's not get married for now."

"Wait for me two more days, see if I can settle things, okay?"

Xu Damao had already made up his mind.

He wanted to bribe Director Li.

As long as he settled Director Li, he wouldn't have to fear Lin Shengli anymore.

Yu Haitang asked, "What do you want to settle? To get my sister to agree to our marriage?"

Xu Damao didn't answer but turned the question back: "What do you say?"

Yu Haitang: "Damao, really, we really don't need to consider my sister's feelings."

"It's me who wants to marry you, not my sister who wants to marry you."

Xu Damao: "But I don't want nobody to bless us."

"You see, even San Da Ye said the same thing tonight."

"Oh, of course, he just misunderstood me."

"Including your sister too."

"I was thinking, go to the hospital for a checkup, then I could shut everyone up."

"I don't want you to feel wronged, marrying you with no one blessing you."

Yu Haitang thought for a moment, then said:

"Alright then, I'll give you two days, okay?"

Xu Damao: "Two days? That should be doable, right?"

Yu Haitang: "No, are you really that busy?"

"Going to the hospital for a checkup doesn't even take half a day."

Xu Damao: "Haitang, the situation is different now; I really am a bit busy."

"It's for my future prospects."

Yu Haitang: "Alright then, I'll just wait for you."

Xu Damao: "Um, but when you go back, you have to tell your sister that you've already broken up with me, okay?"

Yu Haitang: "Why?"

Xu Damao: "I'm worried it'll cause complications."

Yu Haitang thought for a moment, then said: "Alright."

Xu Damao: "Um, then I'll head back first; I'm taking some things to see a leader."

Yu Haitang: "Who?"

Xu Damao: "Don't ask about it for now, okay?"

"All this is for our future."

Yu Haitang nodded.

About half an hour later.

Xu Damao brought two bottles of Moutai and some local specialties to the factory leaders' family building.

He had already found out that Director Li lives here.

Just as he stepped onto the stairs, he happened to run into Director Li coming down.

Xu Damao didn't see clearly at first, but Director Li was the one who greeted him first.

"Xu Damao...."

He stared blankly, then took a closer look—it was Director Li.

He quickly put on a smile and said, "Director Li, I'm just here to see you."

Saying that, he lifted the Moutai and local specialties in his hands, then continued:

"This is just a small token."

Director Li put on a serious face and said, "You want to bribe a revolutionary cadre leader?"

Xu Damao: "That's not what I mean."

"I've been relying on our institute's Second Elder, that is, Liu Haizhong the Group Leader."

"I've been telling you I want to invite you out."

"I have an important matter to report to you."

"But he's never given me this chance."

"Well, today I came myself."

Upon hearing there was an important matter to report, Director Li became interested.

"Of course."

He was still more interested in what Xu Damao was holding.

He looked around, then said softly:

"Then let's talk about it tomorrow at the office."

"You say you, bringing stuff to my place this late at night."

"Don't you know that everyone living here are factory leaders?"
