[R18] Provoke (1V1H) – “Invitation (1V1H)” Chapter 176 Pain (3000+) [English]

Qin Qing and Gu Shaoming fell in love and killed each other, and the Qin family was not at peace either.

When Qin Wansheng learned that Qin Qing and Gu Shaoming had left in the afternoon, he was immediately disappointed and annoyed that he had drunk too much last night.

“Why didn’t Shao Ming wake me up when he left? Are there any rules?” He scolded the servant with a dissatisfied frown.

The servant replied tremblingly: “The eldest lady said that sir, you drank too much last night and needed to rest, so she didn’t let me call you.”

Qin Wansheng was startled when he heard this, and his heart fluctuated a little. He seemed a little surprised that his eldest daughter would care about him. He was silent for a while before waving his hand and saying, “Forget it, you can go down.”

Lin Xiu saw Qin Wansheng’s expression at the side and her heart tightened. She was afraid that if he continued to think about it, he would not suddenly become fatherly and felt ashamed of Qin Qing. She quickly leaned over and whispered softly: “Wansheng, you drank a lot last night. You must be very uncomfortable now. Do you want me to ask the kitchen to make some sobering soup?”

“Yeah, that’s fine.” Qin Wansheng was interrupted from his thoughts. Listening to her soft voice, he closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa and responded.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu gave instructions to the servant, and then came to He and gently helped He massage his temples to relieve the swelling and pain in his brain.

Qin Wansheng also stretched his facial features and enjoyed her service with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu’s eyes flashed with pride, and she said even more softly: “How about you stop going to the company tonight and have a good rest at home.”

Unexpectedly, Qin Wansheng frowned when he heard this and said dissatisfied: “No, the company is a mess. How can I not go? Without me here, the people below will easily become a mess.”

As he spoke, he seemed to be dissatisfied with Lin Xiu who made this suggestion. He waved away her hand, rubbed his brow and sat upright.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu’s expression froze, and a hint of gloom appeared on her delicately made-up face, but it quickly disappeared. She said with a hint of self-blame: “I’m sorry Wan Sheng, it was my lack of consideration.”

Seeing Lin Xiu’s sad expression, Qin Wansheng still couldn’t bear it. After all, she usually won his heart, and he naturally loved her very much in his heart. He couldn’t help but sigh and said: “Forget it, you don’t mean it either.”

Seeing that Qin Wansheng’s expression softened, Lin Xiu hurriedly approached him attentively, but then heard he seemed to remember something and asked: “By the way, you are an early riser on weekdays. Didn’t you meet Qin Qing and Gu Shaoming at noon today?”

Seeing he’s suspicious look, Lin Xiu quickly explained: “I heard in the morning that he went out for morning tea with Mrs. Chen before they got up, but I didn’t meet him.”

Lin Xiu had heard a little bit about what happened last night. She really didn’t want to go out and face them to watch the two show their affection. It made people feel uncomfortable, so she went out.

Qin Wansheng softened his expression and patted the back of her hand and said, “I drank too much last night, thank you for your hard work.”

Lin Xiu lowered her head in embarrassment, “Taking care of your husband is what a wife should do, so it’s not hard work.”

Qin Wansheng was even more moved. He looked at her tenderly for a while, then suddenly sighed and said with regret, “It’s a pity that I didn’t get Shao Ming to agree to help the Qin family last night. Qin Qing always got nothing, and I don’t know when I can see Shao Ming again.”

This was also the reason why he was dissatisfied with the servant for not waking him up. He finally had the opportunity to meet with Gu Shaoming, the leader of the Gu family, but he still couldn’t get him to fully agree to help. He left without even having time to say hello.

Lin Xiu patted Qin Wansheng comfortingly and said: “I think the young master of the Gu family is a cautious person, so he will not take action easily. Don’t be anxious. It’s useless to rush with this kind of thing. It’s better to let Qin Qing give you more advice. I looked after the young master last night and he was very kind to Qin Qing. Maybe there is still a chance.”

Lin Xiu said this not only for Qin’s company, but also for her own considerations. The love and harmony between Gu Shaoming and Qin Qing last night brought a strong sense of crisis to her. It would be better to use Qin Wansheng to pressure Qin Qing now to make her talk to Gu Shaoming. How could a person who always talks about her mother’s family continue to be loved by the arrogant Gu Shaoming.By then, as long as Gu Shaoming is tired of Qin Qing, he will no longer be able to threaten her status in the Qin family.

Although Lin Xiu had her own little thoughts, she knew how to speak very skillfully. Qin Wansheng only felt that she had reminded him, and he immediately said with a smile on his face: “Yes, I think Master Gu treats Qin Qing very well. If Qin Qing tells him, maybe it can really happen.”

As if he remembered Gu Shaoming’s father-in-law call last night, Qin Wansheng suddenly felt confident, “I’ll go to the company to have a look soon, and then call Qin Qing.”

Lin Xiu seemed to be very happy for him and smiled, “By the way, Xiaoqi hasn’t gotten up yet, I’ll call her.”

“Go, I’m almost going to the company first.” Qin Wansheng looked at the watch on his wrist.

Lin Xiu nodded and said to be careful on the road, then came outside Qin Qi’s room.She knocked on the door and waited for a moment before the door was opened. Qin Qi, wearing a pink and delicate dress, poked her head out. Seeing that it was Lin Xiu, she quickly stepped aside to let her in.

“Mom, do you have anything to do with me?” Qin Qi asked, holding Lin Xiu’s hand intimately.

Seeing her look like this, Lin Xiu knew that she had gotten up early. She touched her head lovingly and said, “Your father and I didn’t look downstairs until you came down. We thought you hadn’t gotten up yet, so I came up to call you. But can’t I talk to my precious daughter if it’s okay?”

Even though Lin Xiu had all kinds of calculations in her heart, she loved her from the bottom of her heart. After all, she was just a piece of flesh that fell from her body, and she only had such a daughter, so naturally she loved her in every possible way.

“Of course not, Mom, you know that’s not what I meant.” Qin Qi pouted and shook her arm.

Lin Xiu smiled at her daughter’s coquettishness, and then asked seriously: “Xiao Qi, did Master Gu say anything last night?”

Qin Qi’s originally smiling face froze, as if she remembered the embarrassment last night again. Although she didn’t want to mention that stain in her life, she looked at Lin Xiu’s serious expression, gritted her teeth and shook her head, “No.”

“Did you act as planned?” Lin Xiu asked uncertainly.

In fact, when Lin Xiuzai saw Gu Shaoming’s loving gesture toward Qin Qing at the dinner table, she already secretly felt something was wrong.

Qin Qi nodded with a depressed look on her face and said, “I did everything you said, mom, but I didn’t expect this guy Gu Shaoming to be so incomprehensible and reject me so neatly!”

She couldn’t help but gnashed her teeth as she spoke, really unwilling to do so.

Although Lin Xiu guessed that Qin Qi would not succeed so easily, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed when she heard the result. She sighed: “Does Master Gu really like that girl Qin Qing so much? He even turned a blind eye to your advances.”

Hearing this, Qin Qi subconsciously wanted to refute, but when she opened her mouth, nothing came out.

She always felt that there was something weird between Gu Shaoming and Qin Qing, and when Gu Shaoming came to Qin’s house last night, she accidentally saw Qin Qing also looking surprised, which made her very confused.

This suspicion, coupled with the jealousy and unwillingness that she had always felt about Qin Qing being outshone by her, made her even more suspicious of the relationship between Qin Qing and Gu Shaoming, and she didn’t want to believe that Gu Shaoming would really like Qin Qing.

However, although she was suspicious, there was no evidence, and Gu Shaoming’s behavior last night was witnessed by everyone in the Qin family. It was useless for her to say anything at this time.

Seeing Qin Qi’s gloomy look, Lin Xiu thought it was because she was rejected by Gu Shaoming. She patted her hand and comforted her gently: “Forget it, if this method doesn’t work, I will think of other methods. You don’t have to worry too much. Now even if Qin Qing really falls in the eyes of Master Gu, as long as she doesn’t ask for help to solve the company’s affairs, we don’t have to be afraid of her.”

“Hmph, I don’t have to be afraid of her!” Qin Qi raised her head proudly and snorted, like a proud white swan.

Lin Xiu chuckled helplessly and indulgently, stroking her hair and coaxing softly: “Yes, yes, we Xiaoqi don’t have to be afraid of anyone.”

She paused, with a hint of gloom in her eyes and whispered, “Mom will help you get rid of all the people who stand in your way.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi threw herself into Lin Xiu’s arms with joy on her face, and said with satisfaction, “I know Mom, you are the best, thank you Mom.”

“Little fool, there’s no need to say thank you to mom.” Lin Xiu stroked Qin Qi’s head lovingly, her voice soft and full of doting.

Qin Qi exhaled, then hugged Lin Xiu’s waist and thought secretly, how she should test to make Qin Qing reveal his flaws.

When she realized that what she said was useless, she decided to test Qin Qing and Gu Shaoming herself to verify her suspicions.

But how to test it now is a problem.

Qin Qi frowned and thought hard, and suddenly remembered a gentle face, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

“I remembered!” Qin Qi sat upright excitedly, clapped her hands and said excitedly.

Lin Xiu looked at her daughter with confusion as she was as excited as if she had been given chicken blood, and couldn’t help but ask: “Xiao Qi, what did you remember?”

With a rough idea in her mind, Qin Qi smiled proudly and said deliberately, “I can’t say it yet, but mom, just wait and see, my daughter will definitely treat you to a good show.”
