Chapter 671 The Long-Awaited Competition I
It was the first time that Lin Xiu met Qiao Hongya and Luo Yanyun at a family party. Liang Jiahao didn’t have parents, so Luo Yanyun and Qiao Hongya became his guardians. Now that everyone was talking about her daughter like this, Lin Xiu felt so embarrassed.Lin Xiu stretched out her leg and kicked Qin Yu under the table. After putting a smile on her face, she said, “You must be joking. Qin Yu isn’t usually like this.”
”Aiya, mom, don’t help me explain my behavior.” Qin Yu looked up as she ate. She didn’t seem to feel any pain at all. “I’ve already been to grandfather and grandmother’s house countless times. They all know what I’m like. No matter how much you explain, it won’t cover up my ugly way of eating.”
Lin Xiu was so upset that her face turned pale. She kicked Qin Yu under the table again. “Don’t you know how to restrain yourself? Eating like this, those who don’t know you will think that your family has treated you badly and didn’t give you enough to eat.”
Qin Yu didn’t even blink as she took a sip of her juice. “I just want to finish eating quickly and then rehearse one last time. Is there a need to be so harsh on me?”
Lin Xiu wanted to teach Qin Yu a lesson, but Luo Yanyun hurried to say, “It’s alright, I like Qin Yu’s personality. I even wish she could eat more and get fatter. She’s too thin.”
Liang Zixuan also spoke up for Qin Yu. “Yes, sister-in-law. Let’s not talk about Qin Yu anymore. We all know how she is. Don’t worry, we don’t mind.”
Since Liang Jiahao’s family had already said so, it would be really hard for Lin Xiu to say anything else.
She kicked Qin Yu under the table again, then smiled politely. “You’re right, I’m just afraid that this child is too careless and doesn’t have any brains. When the time comes, she’ll cause trouble.”
Qin Yu happened to lean her leg towards Liang Jiahao when Lin Xiu’s kick landed on her leg. It was so painful that she cried out. “Ouch!”
Luo Yanyun and Old Madam Han immediately looked at her and asked worriedly, “Qin Yu, what’s wrong?”
Qin Yu frowned and looked angrily at Lin Xiu. “Mom, why did you kick Liang Jiahao?”
”Huh?” Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment. Then, she lowered her head and lifted the tablecloth. Sure enough, she saw that her kick was aimed at Liang Jiahao’s leg!
Lin Xiu should have known that something was amiss.
She had kicked Qin Yu a few times in a row, and with Qin Yu’s fussy personality, Qin Yu should have yelled out a long time ago.
But Qin Yu didn’t need to say it out loud.
Lin Xiu suddenly felt embarrassed and smiled apologetically. “Jiahao, I’m sorry. Auntie didn’t mean to kick you.”
”I know.” Liang Jiahao placed a bowl of soup next to Qin Yu. Then, he smiled at Lin Xiu. “Mom, if you want to kick Qin Yu, just kick me. It’s alright.”
”Aiya…” Hearing this, Old Madam Han’s eyes squinted in laughter. “You’re calling her mom now?”
Liang Zixuan and Han Yuanjun also joined in the laughter. Even Tian Qihua and the others looked at Liang Jiahao and Qin Yu with smiles.
Liang Jiahao nodded. “Qin Yu and I are going to get married anyway and I will call mom that sooner or later. It’s the same if I call her that now.”
These words made Lin Xiu extremely happy. When she met Liang Jiahao for the first time, she felt that this man was reliable.
She smiled and said, “Jiahao is right. Even if he doesn’t have a relationship with Qin Yu, he’s still a family. It’s fine, I like listening to him calling me that.”
With that, she nudged Qin Shaoqiang.
Qin Shaoqiang was drinking with Han Xiwang and he didn’t even have the chance to put down his glass when Lin Xiu nudged him. He quickly nodded and agreed. “Yes, I also like listening to Jiahao calling me dad too.”
A few people continued to eat happily. Qin Yu finished her meal first, then wiped her mouth with a tissue and stood up. “I’m done eating. You guys take your time. Don’t worry, I’m going backstage first to get ready. I’ll be back when you guys are done.”
Liang Jiahao put down his chopsticks and stood up. “I’ll come with you.”
Qin Yu looked at everyone’s smiling faces with embarrassment and forcefully pushed Liang Jiahao down on the chair. “Sit with my father and have a few drinks with him. This place isn’t far from the venue, I won’t get lost. I’ll be fine.”
Liang Jiahao had no choice but to sit down.
After Qin Yu left, Liang Zixuan turned to Liang Jiahao and whispered, “Big brother, is everything ready?”
Liang Jiahao’s hand subconsciously went into his pocket. After grabbing the small box inside, he said in a low voice, “Yes, everything is already prepared.”
Liang Zixuan nodded excitedly. “Then I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

When Qin Yu got to the venue and entered the dressing room, she saw that the girls were still putting on makeup, so she walked over to her seat and sat down. Xia Xiaolian had been waiting for her for a long time, and as soon as Qin Yu arrived, she opened her makeup kit and said, “Liang Zixuan specifically told me to make you look a bit more mature this time.”
Qin Yu smiled. “Okay. I’ve always had great confidence in you.”
Since they were in a school, there weren’t many dressing rooms. There were only two dressing rooms for the teams of the two countries.
The two dressing rooms were next to each other, and when Qin Yu arrived, the people next door knew.
After Cha Jinho heard her voice, he didn’t believe it at all and ran over there. When he saw that it was actually Qin Yu, he ran over in shock. “Is there no one else from the Han Group? Liang Zixuan actually asked you to come?”
Qin Yu was still wearing her makeup. Originally, it was not convenient for her to speak, but since Cha Jinho had personally come here, she had to answer his question. Her expression didn’t change as she said, “What’s wrong with me? Could it be that Mr. Cha thinks I’m not on your level?”
”Haha …” Cha Jinho smiled and looked at Qin Yu’s face in the mirror. “You’re indeed on the highest level, but your scandal hasn’t died down yet. Don’t think that just because you showed your love on the show, you could wash everything clean. The audience won’t be fooled so easily!”
”Who says about fooling anyone here?” Qin Yu snorted. “If I don’t do it, then why should I admit it? Forcing dirty water on me is useless, Mr. Cha and I really didn’t expect you to care so much about our mainland problem. Why don’t you just focus on your company? What, don’t tell me you still want us to give you a kicking?”
