Sweet Beauty

Chapter 533 – There’s No Way He’s Going To Be My Son-In-Law

Lin Xiu continued. "If you don't improve your behavior, how can you attract a good man? Qin Yu, from now on, you must behave like a goddess, no matter whether you are in public or not. In this way, you will have a chance to marry someone who really suits you."

Qin Yu immediately thought of what Liang Jiahao had said. He had said that she looked very cute in front of him. If she could be like this in front of others, surely more people would like her.

Qin Yu couldn't help but compare Liang Jiahao to her father in her heart. She felt that Liang Jiahao was comparable to her father, though not very much.

"Haha…" Qin Yu laughed stupidly. "Mrs. Lin, what if I told you that I already have someone in my heart right now? Would you be willing to give him a chance to be examined by your magic eyes?"

Lin Xiu's eyes quickly narrowed as she looked dangerously at Qin Yu. "Is there someone in your heart?"

Qin Yu quickly explained, "I mean if. If I have someone in my heart."

Qin Yu was Lin Xiu's daughter and she knew her very well. How could Qin Yu's little intentions be hidden from Lin Xiu's eyes?

Lin Xiu's face immediately darkened and she sternly asked, "Qin Yu! Tell me honestly, who is he? What does he do? How old is he? What kind of business does his family do? Or could it be that you just happened to bump into him on the street and decided to make him your man?"

Aiya!

Qin Yu held her head gloomily, wanting to slap herself twice.

Why can't she keep her mouth shut?

Why did she say it out loud?

Looking at the anger on Lin Xiu's face, Qin Yu pouted, feeling all wronged. "We are not in a relationship yet. I just thought he is pretty good, so I wanted to know more about him first."

Lin Xiu sighed in relief and smiled. "Then tell me, what kind of person is he? Let me hear it. Maybe then I will be satisfied."

Qin Yu felt it was necessary to ask Lin Xiu's opinion first. She gritted her teeth and did not dare to look at Lin Xiu's eyes as she said, "He… He's a bit old."

"What?" Lin Xiu's eyes widened for a moment. "Is he older than your father?!"

"No, not that old!" Qin Yu quickly waved her hands. "He's a bit older than me. This year, he should be around thirty."

"Thirty?"

Wasn't that too old?

Qin Yu was only twenty-two this year.

Lin Xiu gently asked, "What did he do?"

Qin Yu was afraid that if she directly told Lin Xiu that he was the CEO of China Securities Bank, she would expose Liang Jiahao's identity. She was afraid that Lin Xiu would run to China Securities Bank to find Liang Jiahao. And they were not together yet! It would be very awkward.

Qin Yu thought about it seriously. "His job is not bad. He works for someone else."

The corner of Lin Xiu's eyes twitched. "Work for someone else?"

Qin Yu nodded. China Securities Bank belonged to the country, not to Liang Jiahao. It was not wrong to say that he worked for someone else, was it?

Lin Xiu held back her anger and asked again. "What about his family's background? What about his parents?"

Qin Yu secretly swallowed her saliva and whispered, "His mother died a long time ago and his father went to prison. He only has his grandparents and a younger sister."

"What kind of man is this?" Lin Xiu couldn't hold back anymore, so she raised her hand and cruelly poked Qin Yu in the forehead. "His job is not good and his family is full of old and weak people! Qin Yu, do you really want to marry such a man? Do you want to spend the rest of your life as his nanny? Forget it, his father is even in prison! What crime has he committed?"

Qin Yu was close to tears. "Murder."

"Murder?" If it weren't for Lin Xiu's gentle demeanor, she would have slapped Qin Yu a long time ago.

Lin Xiu held Qin Yu's shoulder and scolded her loudly for the first time in her (Lin Xiu) life. "Qin Yu, what kind of man are you looking for? Do you want to be with the son of a murderer? How much effort did I put into raising you until you are in this state? I only hope you will find a good husband and a good home so that you will not have to live a miserable life in the future. But look at you, what have you done!"

"Let's not talk about his job. You can still survive living with his family but as the son of a murderer… Let me tell you, there's no way he's going to be my son-in-law in this life!"

Qin Yu was frightened to tears by Lin Xiu's violent demeanor.

Ever since Qin Yu was young, no matter how angry Lin Xiu was, Lin Xiu had never scolded her in such a loud voice. Not many people can force Lin Xiu to speak loudly.

It was obvious how terrible the image of Liang Jiahao was in Lin Xiu's heart until it made her so angry that she could no longer hold back her image of a graceful woman.

Qin Yu cried. "He's actually a pretty smart and nice man. He knows how to cook. The dishes he made are so delicious. Even the women he has dated like him -"

"What, he dates a lot of women?" Lin Xiu laughed in disbelief. "An old man who only knows how to trick a little girl, and you still call him nice?"

Qin Yu felt that she could not explain it to Lin Xiu. She did not think Liang Jiahao was that bad.

To be belittled like that by Lin Xiu.

"I'm not telling you anymore!" Qin Yu got up from the couch, wiped the tears from her face, and angrily walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Lin Xiu raised her eyelids and asked calmly.

Qin Yu's rebellious tone could be heard again. "Didn't you say that you don't like him? I want to bring him back, I want to be with him! None of you can stop me!"

When Lin Xiu heard this, she stood up angrily. She chased after Qin Yu and held her by the wrist. Without saying anything, she dragged Qin Yu upstairs.

"What are you doing!" Qin Yu shook off Lin Xiu's hand gloomily, but no matter how she shook it, she couldn't get rid of it.

Qin Yu's strength could be considered a bit too strong for a woman, but she didn't really dare to make a move against Lin Xiu. This was her own mother.

Even if Lin Xiu didn't want to let her go, Qin Yu still wouldn't have dared to use force. She could only shout, "Mom, what are you going to do to me? Let me go! Give me some freedom in life, will you?"

"You don't need it!" Lin Xiu kept dragging Qin Yu and said, "If I don't restrain you, you'll become more rebellious!"

Qin Yu wanted to fly to the sky, but she had no wings.

She started to panic. "Mom, let go of me. I warned you, if you use force against me, I will retaliate!"

Lin Xiu sneered. "Why don't you give it a try."

No matter how stubborn Qin Yu was, she wouldn't go against her parents.

Lin Xiu was very sure of this. She dragged Qin Yu into her bedroom and pushed her inside. "Now you should think about this thoroughly. Think about whether what I said is right or not! Once you reflect on your mistakes, I'll let you go."

"Mom … Mom!" Qin Yu quickly chased after Lin Xiu, but just as she reached the door, the door slammed shut right in front of her face.

She twisted the door handle and found the door locked from the outside. Exasperated and annoyed, she shouted, "Mom, open the door! This is illegal! You can't do this to me. Open the door and let me out!"

Lin Xiu crossed her arms in front of her chest and stood calmly in front of the door. When she heard Qin Yu's shouting, she laughed instead of getting angry. "Go ahead and shout. If you still have any strength left, shout as much as you can. We'll see who will save you."

Suddenly, Lin Xiu thought of something and laughed. "Oh, one more thing. Don't think about asking your brother and father to come to your rescue. If you don't want to implicate them, just stay inside and think about your mistakes."

Lin Xiu completely cut off Qin Yu's escape route.

In the past, Qin Yu was also locked up by Lin Xiu, but Qin Shanyuan would sneakily let her out every time. Every time she came home after playing, Qin Shanyuan would hide and not dare to see her.

Qin Yu was confused and sneakily went to Qin Shanyuan's room at night. It was then she saw that his back was full of scars after he took off his shirt.

Lin Xiu had taught her children not to go against their parents to the extent they didn't expect.

Every time Qin Yu made a mistake, Qin Shanyuan was the one who got the punishment.

Lin Xiu called it killing a chicken to set an example for a monkey1.

Qin Shanyuan really loved his sister. He and Qin Yu had always gotten along well, so every time Lin Xiu hit him, it was like hitting Qin Yu's heart. Over time, Qin Yu's rebellious spirit was almost completely worn down.

This was the best punishment Lin Xiu could think of after hearing Qin Shaoqiang's words.

Qin Yu wasn't afraid of pain or punishment, but she was afraid that Qin Shanyuan would suffer because of her.

Hearing this, she felt as if a knife was stabbing into her heart. She stomped her feet in frustration. "Mom, can you stop using this trick? I'll listen to you, I won't leave, okay?"

Lin Xiu smiled in satisfaction. "As expected, only this move is enough to deal with you."
