Chapter 53: The heroine’s family regretted their past choice, while the villain’s family welcomed a daughter-in-law.

?

Qin Yu was stunned by the sudden slap.

Especially the vicious slur of “little bastard” ignited a surge of rage in him.

Luckily, reason still prevailed, and he forced the anger down; otherwise Lin Yueyao would certainly think he disrespected her parents.

“Uncle Lin, things aren’t the way you think…”

Qin Yu had just collected himself and tried to explain.

But before he could finish, Bai Yuqin slapped him as well.

Smack!

“You reek of piss and shit, you worthless trash. What right do you have to be friends with Yueyao? Get lost!” Bai Yuqin cursed without mercy.

She had not expected her daughter to propose breaking off the engagement, much less that she did it for this ugly freak who had soiled his pants.

How could this monster compare to her golden son-in-law?

“Everyone wants to beat up the Crap King!”

“Even an upright official can’t settle family quarrels, yet he butted in… who else should we hit if not him?”

“If my daughter loses her happiness because of him, I’ll beat him to death myself!”

Wang Teng and the others laughed to their hearts’ content.

?

Qin Yu trembled with rage and cold.

The surrounding jeers pushed him to the brink of exploding.

“Your daughter was dumped by Ning Bei… what the hell does that have to do with me?”

This was simply intolerable.

“Father, Mother, please stop…”

Lin Yueyao tried to stop them.

“Yueyao, what’s wrong with you?” Lin Donglai scolded. “He has already dragged you into this mess and you still defend him?”

“I’m not defending him, but you can’t…”

Before Lin Yueyao could finish, Bai Yuqin interrupted, “Tell me honestly, do you actually want to be with this piece of trash?”

“I’m warning you, Lin Yueyao… if you dare get together with this trash, you will no longer be our daughter!”

Bai Yuqin was furious.

They had barely arrived in the capital before hearing endless labels attached to Qin Yu… “Crap King,” “part-time disciple,” “bastard,” and so on.

The man was a living joke.

At first they had only regarded Qin Yu as a clown.

Yet they never imagined their daughter would discard the flawless, ten-thousand-times-better Ning Bei for this clown.

What parents wouldn’t be angry?

Saying that Lin Yueyao picked up a sesame seed and dropped a watermelon was already flattering Qin Yu by calling him a sesame seed.

“Yueyao, tell us the truth… how far have you gone with him?”

Lin Donglai pressed as well.

His glare at Qin Yu looked as if he wanted to kill him.

If that boy had really sullied his daughter, he would definitely strike.

“Dad, Mom, stop talking nonsense, please.” Lin Yueyao stamped her foot anxiously. “There’s nothing between Qin Yu and me… the one I like is Ning Bei!”

“Yueyao…?”

At that moment Qin Yu felt as if his heart were bleeding.

He believed he had treated Lin Yueyao with great care, yet she cut ties with him without the slightest hesitation.

The worst part was that he could not utter a single rebuttal.

After all, with his meridians still severed, he had no advantage to prove his worth.

Compared with Ning Bei, he was nothing more than an insignificant minnow.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu’s hatred deepened…

Everything was because of Ning Bei!

“Really? That’s wonderful.”

Hearing this, the couple breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Thankfully their daughter’s standards were not that low; she had not given herself to the Crap King.

“In that case, Yueyao, hurry and reconcile with Ning Bei,” Bai Yuqin urged impatiently.

“I…”

Lin Yueyao fell silent.

She dared not tell her parents that she had already asked to reconcile, yet Ning Bei had refused.

Seeing her keep silent, Bai Yuqin scolded, “Child, I’m talking to you! At a time like this you still won’t lower your pride? The most important thing now is to get back with Ning Bei before someone else beats you to him.”

Before Lin Yueyao could speak;

Qin Yu could no longer endure it and sneered, “Someone already beat her to it, and Yueyao asked to reconcile long ago, but Ning Bei refused.”

“Qin Yu, can you stop talking?”

Lin Yueyao stomped in displeasure.

Moments earlier she had felt a trace of guilt because her parents had insulted Qin Yu, but his undermining her now made her feel nothing but disgust.

How could she ever have abandoned Ning Bei for someone like him?

She had been so foolish.

“What?”

Bai Yuqin was dumbfounded when she heard this. “Is he telling the truth? Yueyao, did Ning Bei refuse to take you back?”

“I…”

At this point Lin Yueyao knew she could not hide it any longer.

She had to be honest!

After learning the truth, the couple felt as if struck by lightning. “How could Ning Bei do this? He clearly said he would marry no one but you… how could he change his heart?”

“I want to see what vixen dared steal my daughter’s man.”

The couple were enraged.

They insisted that Lin Yueyao take them into the inn so they could confront Ning Bei face to face.

On the other side.

Ning Bei walked out with Qin Jiujiu and introduced her to his parents, “Father, Mother, this is your future daughter-in-law.”

…

Daughter-in-law… Qin Jiujiu’s face instantly flushed.

She did not shyly deny it; she bowed politely to the couple and said, “Uncle Ning, Auntie Liu, hello.”

“Oh my, good, good… how is this girl so beautiful, as if she stepped out of a painting.”

As Liu Yajuan sized up the “daughter-in-law,” the more she looked the more she liked her; tugging on Ning Conghua, she said, “And she looks so gentle… definitely much better to our son than Lin Yueyao ever was.”

“Haha.”

Ning Conghua laughed heartily in tacit agreement.

On Qin Jiujiu one could see none of Lin Yueyao’s lofty air; instead, when she stood beside Ning Bei… they looked like a perfect match, handsome man and beautiful woman.”That’s wonderful!”

Patting Ning Bei’s shoulder, Ning Conghua sighed, “Finding such a good girl sets your mother and me at ease. Before we came we still feared you hadn’t cut things clean with Lin Yueyao!”

“Don’t mention that family anymore,” Liu Yajuan rolled her eyes at Ning Conghua and then urged Ning Bei, “Bei’er, Jiujiu is a good girl, you must treat her well, understand?”

She had never liked Lin Yueyao all that much, perhaps because the girl always acted superior in front of Ning Bei.

What mother would like that?

Yet because their son liked her, she and Ning Conghua had said nothing, even bending the Ning family to support the Lin family’s business just to help their son gain her approval…

But now, the moment she saw Qin Jiujiu, she loved this daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart.

Instead, she worried that her son might fail Qin Jiujiu.

“Rest assured, Mother.”

Ning Bei smiled and agreed.

Deep memories made him feel close to these “parents,” and with memories of his previous life, he was willing to honor them.

While the family chatted and laughed;

Wang Teng walked into the room and said, “Senior Brother Ning, Lin Yueyao’s whole family insist on barging in to see you. The elders ask whether you’ll meet them or not.”

“Throw them out.”

Ning Bei said without hesitation.

“Wait, Bei’er.”

At that moment Ning Conghua spoke up, “If we don’t meet them now, they’ll keep pestering us later. I think we should make things clear while we have the chance, so they won’t bother us again. What do you think?”

“That works.”

Ning Bei thought about it and raised no objection.
