Chapter 849: Why Are You Still Following Me When You Look Down On Me So Much

Liang Mingyu actually called her an evil mother-in-law?     

Lin Xiu almost fainted on the spot!     

It was not that Lin Xiu was bragging, but her temperament was very good. Of course, except for the symptoms of menopause, she did not feel like she had a bad temper under normal circumstances.     

Furthermore, she came from a prestigious family and received a good education from an early age. She was polite when dealing with people, and no one had ever said that she was not easy to get along with.     

“Liang Mingyu!” Liang Zixuan glared at Liang Mingyu in frustration. “My sister-in-law is very good. Don’t talk about her like that! After all, you and Liang Jiaying are in danger now, and what you have to do in the future will be even more dangerous. Wouldn’t you want her to find a good protector? An umbrella that she can use to protect herself from the rain and wind, so you can focus on your mission?”     

Tian Qihua also did not know whether to laugh or cry, “I have known Lin Xiu for decades, but I never felt that she wasn’t easy not to get along with. When she first came in, she was a little arrogant to you, but you have to understand. Liang Jiaying made Shanyuan wear a mascot uniform and work on the street in the hot sun, and when they left after visiting you, Shanyuan gave her his bread. We assumed that Shanyuan did not tell Liang Jiaying his identity, so she let him work with her.”     

Liang Mingyu glanced at Lin Xiu again, then he imitated her arrogant demeanor, saying proudly, “Whether my sister likes him or not, you can ask her yourself. I will not say anything on her behalf.”     

Seeing that Lin Xiu was about to lose her temper, Qin Yu immediately held her hand and whispered, “Mom, think about how hard it is for your son to like a girl. Think about how miserable big brother’s love life is, he’s even more pitiful than a dog and a cat.”     

Lin Xiu gritted her teeth and scolded Qin Yu softly, “How can you compare your brother’s love life to a dog and a cat! What do you think he is?”     

“I was wrong.” Qin Yu let out a soft laugh and patted Lin Xiu’s arm. “I was just making an analogy. For the sake of my brother’s happiness, you can bear it temporarily.”     

Lin Xiu took a deep breath and took another deep breath. She understood what Qin Yu was saying. She also knew that it would be more difficult for Qin Shanyuan to find a girlfriend after this incident, so she had to hold back her anger.

“This is your salary, and this is yours.” The boss handed today’s salary to Liang Jiaying and Qin Shanyuan respectively.     

Liang Jiaying looked at the money in her hand. She didn’t want to give Qin Shanyuan the money she’d just received, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, she owed him money.     

Reluctantly, she handed Qin Shanyuan the money. “Here.”     

Qin Shanyuan saw Liang Jiaying’s expression of pain and chuckled. He took the money and said, “Okay, since you’re giving it back, I’ll accept it. At this rate, I think you’ll be able to pay it all back within a year.”     

A year…     

Liang Jiaying almost cried when she heard it.     

Every day, she would wake up early and struggle to find the money. Finally, she gave the money to Qin Shanyuan without being able to enjoy it.     

“I have to go back and bring bread for my brother. After that, I have to go to my part-time job at a nightclub. You can go back first.”     

It was only today that Qin Shanyuan found out that Liang Jiaying was working part-time at the nightclub. That’s why he met her there that night.     

Seeing that Liang Jiaying was about to leave, Qin Shanyuan suddenly held her hand to stop her. “Don’t work in the nightclub anymore!”     

Liang Jiaying stopped and turned to face him. “Why?”     

“Because… because…” Qin Shanyuan wanted to say something, but he hesitated. He rubbed the back of his neck for a long time before saying, “Because the nightclub is so chaotic, it’s not safe for a girl like you to work there. P-plus … Plus, what would happen if you decided to steal other people’s money again?”     

“You!” Liang Jiaying was so angry that she shook Qin Shanyuan’s hand. “Do you think I’m a thief? I only stole it once, and that was only because my brother was seriously injured. If I hadn’t found money for his treatment, he would have died! If it wasn’t for saving my brother, do you think I’m willing to do that?”         

“Jiaying…” Qin Shanyuan knew he had said the wrong thing. He immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that…”     

“That’s exactly what you mean!” Liang Jiaying shook her head, feeling sick with the way Qin Shanyuan thought about her. “Why are you still following me when you look down on me so much!”     

Saying that, she ran in the direction of the bus shelter. She was so angry that her hair started to float (like an angry cartoon).     

Qin Shanyuan was so depressed that he stomped his feet. He really wanted to give himself two hard slaps.     

It was hard for him to let out his words, and yet he had to say it like that!     

Besides, he knew that Liang Mingyu was injured, so how could he doubt Liang Jiaying’s character?     

“Jiaying, I’m sorry. Wait for me!”     

Qin Shanyuan immediately chased after Liang Jiaying, but the more he chased her, the faster she ran. Finally, he saw a bus stop in front of the shelter, and Liang Jiaying got on.     

Qin Shanyuan was a bit slow and missed the bus. He hailed a taxi and got in, then asked the driver to drive to the traditional Chinese clinic in Chinatown.     

He knew that no matter how angry Liang Jiaying was, she would still care about Liang Mingyu.     

And since he couldn’t catch up with her, he could only go to the clinic and wait for her there.     

After all, the bus wasn’t as fast as a taxi. When Qin Shanyuan arrived, Liang Jiaying wasn’t there yet.     

He stood at the swaying door and quietly said words of apology to Liang Jiaying.     

Qin Shanyuan thought of many versions, but when Liang Jiaying actually arrived, he was tongue-tied.     

“J-Jiaying…” Qin Shanyuan stopped Liang Jiaying at the entrance of the clinic. “I- I- I was wrong. I know that I was wrong. Please don’t be angry with me…”     

Liang Jiaying’s face darkened as she shouted, “Get out of the way!”     

“I won’t!” Qin Shanyuan stretched out his hand to block the door. “If you don’t forgive me, I won’t let you go.”
