Chapter 54: The heroine’s family begged for reconciliation and beat up the Child of Destiny in the street.

Before long, Lin Yueyao’s family appeared at the doorway.

When they saw Qin Jiujiu sitting right beside Ning Bei, Lin Donglai and Bai Yuqin instantly felt a stab of discomfort.

They had never expected Ning Bei’s new girlfriend to be this beautiful.

She was in no way inferior to their own daughter.

Now their daughter felt tremendous pressure.

“Dear in-laws, what kind of mess is this?”

The next moment, Lin Donglai and Bai Yuqin forced smiles as they entered, because they had come to mend fences and could not afford sour faces.

Qin Yu had wanted to follow them in, but Wang Teng slapped him and snapped, “What are you doing here? Does this concern you?”

“You…”

Qin Yu stood there, dazed by the blow.

He looked at Lin Yueyao, hoping she would speak up for him.

Unfortunately, Lin Yueyao was staring only at Ning Bei and never even glanced back at him.

Smack!

Just as Qin Yu felt miserable, Zhao Ming slapped him too and barked, “I’m talking to you! Are you mute?”

“I…”

Qin Yu trembled with anger and cold.

Yet he had no right to fight back and could only clench his teeth and leave.

“Move your damn feet!”

Wang Teng then kicked him hard on the backside.

…

Qin Yu clenched his fists and swore to himself…

Someday he would make them all regret this!

Inside the room.

Facing the once-arrogant in-laws who now humbled themselves, Ning Conghua and his wife finally felt vindicated.

They had endured plenty of slights from the Lin family because their son liked Lin Yueyao.

Now, Ning Conghua and his wife stayed silent and treated the couple’s enthusiasm as nothing.

Left with no choice, Bai Yuqin spoke first. “In-laws, marriage is a major matter…”

“Hold it.”

Liu Yajuan cut in. “Bai Yuqin, stop calling us in-laws. My son’s engagement to your daughter is already canceled, and that title will upset my daughter-in-law Jiujiu.”

“Aunt Liu…”

Lin Yueyao called out anxiously.

Hearing Liu Yajuan refer to Qin Jiujiu as daughter-in-law made her heart ache, and she threw a wounded look at Ning Bei.

To her surprise, she saw Ning Bei playing with Qin Jiujiu’s delicate hand.

At that moment, Lin Yueyao felt utterly desolate.

“Sister-in-law, you can’t put it that way!” Lin Donglai said with a grin. “Kids fighting is normal, but as parents we can’t abandon our friendship just because they quarrel.”

“It isn’t us abandoning anything,” Ning Conghua interrupted. “Your daughter asked to break the engagement; the fault isn’t ours.”

“Y-yes, Yueyao was immature,”

Bai Yuqin said hurriedly, “but you can’t blame us entirely, right? Look at your Ning Bei… he’s already two-timing her. We’re right here, yet he’s fondling another woman’s hand. Has he considered Yueyao’s feelings?”

“Ning Bei, could you stop touching her?”

Lin Yueyao looked at Ning Bei and pleaded, aggrieved.

The man who once revolved around her was now holding another woman’s hand in front of her and her parents.

The blow was simply too much.

“I’m holding my own wife’s hand; what business is that of yours?” Ning Bei retorted. “Even my wife hasn’t complained.”

“…Mm.”

Qin Jiujiu nodded slightly in agreement.

Just then she felt both shy and happy, a very strange mix.

“Bai Yuqin, quit pinning labels on my son.”

Liu Yajuan voiced her displeasure next. “Your daughter broke off the engagement, so my son can’t find someone he likes? And don’t think we don’t know… your daughter dumped him for a guy named Qin Yu. If anyone two-timed, it was your faithless daughter.”

“You… ”

Bai Yuqin nearly cursed back.

Who was faithless?

Thankfully she remembered why she had come and forced a smile. “In-laws, don’t be so harsh. Actually, nothing ever happened between Yueyao and that useless fellow, and she’s still a virgin.”

“Right, Yueyao, hurry and tell Ning Bei!”

She pushed her daughter’s shoulder.

“Mm…” Lin Yueyao lifted her eyes to Ning Bei, bit her lower lip, and said, “Nothing happened between Qin Yu and me… I don’t even like him.”

“Haha.”

Ning Bei burst out laughing.

Even a professionally trained actor would have struggled to keep a straight face.

Seeing this, Lin Donglai said, “Little Bei, don’t laugh. Yueyao really doesn’t like Qin Yu, and Uncle and Auntie promise you she’ll never deal with him again. We accept only you as our son-in-law, all right?”

“Yueyao, hurry and promise Ning Bei you’ll ignore that loser from now on,” Bai Yuqin urged.

“I prom… ”

Lin Yueyao had just opened her cherry-like mouth when Ning Bei cut her off. “Enough. You don’t even understand your own daughter.”

“In her heart, Qin Yu is her white moonlight. How could she not like him?”

Ning Bei gave a cold laugh and said to Lin Yueyao, “Be brave. Everyone in the academy knows you fancy Qin Yu, so why can’t you tell your parents?”

“Ning Bei, I don’t…”

Under his indifferent stare, Lin Yueyao shook her head again and again, tears streaming down. “I really don’t like him… I really don’t…”

“In-laws, look at this.”

Bai Yuqin applied pressure at once. “See how much Yueyao cares about Ning Bei? How could she like that loser?”

Lin Donglai echoed, “Exactly. Kids just got angry; as parents we should take charge. They’re grown now, so we should pick an auspicious day and marry them off soon.”

“Do you not understand human speech?”

Ning Bei frowned and said coldly, “I let you in so you’d give up completely, and you’re still talking about a wedding? Let Lin Yueyao marry Qin Yu. I’ll even send a gift, and when they have kids I’ll send a larger one.”

Lin Yueyao: “???”

“Ning Bei, how can you talk like that?”

At this point Bai Yuqin finally lost it. “My Yueyao is so wonderful; how can you say that? Even if she was wrong before, she’s apologized. What more do you want?”

“You once said you would marry no one but her… what does this mean now? Are you shirking responsibility?”

“Hmph!”

Ning Conghua slammed the table and roared, “If apologies solved everything, why would we need laws? Do you think the Ning family must orbit around you?”

Liu Yajuan stood up as well. “We’ll make it clear today. I recognize only Jiujiu as my daughter-in-law. Your daughter isn’t worthy of our son, so stop pestering us.”

“You… ”

Lin Donglai’s face darkened, and he tried to retort.

Just then several Elders rushed in from outside and said, “If you’re going to keep arguing, we’ll have to throw you out.”

Bai Yuqin exploded in anger. “Why? Why us? They’re arguing too… why only chase us?”

“Mother, stop talking.”

“I won’t stop. They’re bullying us… ah!”

Before Bai Yuqin could throw a tantrum, Several Elders acted directly, dragging Lin Donglai and Bai Yuqin out by force.

Outside the inn.

Lin Donglai and Bai Yuqin were tossed onto the street.

Both of them fumed but dared not storm the inn again.

In the end, they vented their rage on their daughter. “Look at what you’ve done! For a useless bum you even dumped kind-hearted Ning Bei.”

“The Ning family used to treat us politely; now look at their faces, all because you broke it off.”

“How could the Lin family have such a foolish daughter?”

“I…”

Lin Yueyao wept pearly tears.

She could not argue; whenever she thought about her past behavior she felt like slapping herself.

How could she have been so stupid?

“Where’s Qin Yu? Where is he?”

The next moment, the couple looked around and shouted.

“Uncle, Auntie, I’m here.”

Hearing them, Qin Yu ran over eagerly.

He had predicted that Ning Bei would anger Lin Yueyao’s parents.

That gave him a chance to shine.

Although he was weaker than Ning Bei, he believed his character could outshine Ning Bei in their eyes.

“Uncle, Auntie, please don’t be upset…”

Qin Yu started to comfort them with a smile, but before he finished, a slap hit his face…

Smack!

“You little bastard, you ruined my daughter’s happiness!”

“Beat him to death… take his head to Ning Bei and maybe we can still fix this.”

Qin Yu: “???”
