Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 174: Qin Lu Framed Qin Shuang!

Qin Lu looked at him in disbelief. Her father, who had been exceptionally gentle to her since she was young, had an ashen expression. It seemed that he was not joking.

Bang! She knelt down and asked in confusion, “Dad, what did I do wrong?”

Mr. Qin looked at his daughter.

At this moment, she was actually still pretending. This scheme reminded him of Qin Shuang’s words. “You guys have never believed me…”

Mr. Qin fell silent.

He suddenly recalled the past. Every time something happened, Qin Shuang would jump in anger while Qin Lu would speak in a gentle manner, making others misunderstand.

Could it be that they had been wrongfully blaming Qin Shuang since then?

If that was the case, it was understandable that Qin Shuang was filled with resentment.

However, Mr. Qin did not understand. They were biological sisters, so why would Qin Lu do this?

While he was staring at Qin Lu, Qin Lu was also looking at him. When she saw that he seemed to be thinking about something, Qin Lu pursed her lips and said, “Dad, did the police find something?”

She was very calm when she spoke and did not seem like someone who’d been caught doing something bad.

Seeing that Mr. Qin was not speaking, Qin Lu knew that her scheme had been exposed. She did not explain, nor did she cry for forgiveness, nor did she admit what she’d done.

She knelt there and lowered her head. “Dad, in your heart, am I already a bad daughter?”

Mr. Qin remained silent.

Qin Lu said, “I know that my words are useless. I won’t explain myself.”

Tears flowed down her cheeks and she looked exceptionally aggrieved.

Although Mr. Qin’s heart ached, he still said resolutely, “When Mr. Liu called me, I still could not believe that my daughter was actually this bad! Qin Lu, when did your little schemes start?”

Qin Lu bit her lip and did not speak. Instead, she silently wept.

There were too many schemes to mention. Instead of coming up with a way out, Qin Lu decided to pretend to be aggrieved until the end. Only by doing so could she salvage her parents’ feelings.

Seeing that she was not going to speak, Mr. Qin did not continue cursing. He turned around and left the study room. “Think about it here!”

After saying that, Mr. Qin left the study and walked out.

Qin Lu knelt on the carpet in the study room. The coldness seeped into her bones through her knees. She stared at the carpet and her expression changed drastically.

After Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin had dinner, Mr. Qin went upstairs and asked, “Do you admit your mistakes?”

Qin Lu replied obediently, “Yes.”

She lowered her head and still looked so weak.

Seeing her like this, Mr. Qin sighed deeply. “You and Qin Shuang are biological sisters. This incident did not get exposed because Xiao Shuang let you off. I hope that you can take back your ill intentions and treat her as your younger sister!”

Qin Lu’s eyes flickered when she heard this. She nodded.

If this were his son, Mr. Qin would definitely beat him up.

However, his daughter… was a headache.

He could not bear to send her to the police station or beat her up. He was worried that her body would not be able to take it. Mr. Qin looked at Qin Lu for a while, then took a deep breath. “Alright, you can go back.”

Qin Lu nodded again.

After returning to the bedroom, she waited quietly for a while. In the past, when she was injured there, her mother would always rush over to help her treat her wounds.

This time, even after she’d been kneeling for so long that her knees were slightly swollen, Mrs. Qin still did not enter.

Qin Lu waited for a while longer. Seeing that no one had entered, she opened the door and walked out.

Just as she stepped out, she heard Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin quarreling on the sofa.

Mr. Qin grumbled, “It’s all because you’re biased.”

Mrs. Qin exploded. “I’m biased? Why don’t you say that you’re biased? Whenever you go out, didn’t you always remember to bring a present to Qin Lu? But have you ever given some to Xiao Shuang? It’s always in passing!”

Father Qin choked. “Isn’t this because every time I go out, Qin Lu would call me and Xiao Shuang would ignore me? I just forgot, but how did Qin Lu become like this in the first place?”

Mrs. Qin scolded, “Are you blaming me? Two children. Although Xiao Shuang doesn’t have a good temper, she is at least a kind-hearted person. You usually don’t care about the child, but now you’re blaming me for not looking after her? Alright, you can manage the child’s matters in the future!”

After saying that, Mrs. Qin went upstairs. When she saw Qin Lu, Mrs. Qin paused in her tracks. The person whose face was red from shouting asked in a displeased tone, “Why did you come out?”

Qin Lu said, “My… My knees hurt.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin turned around and entered the study room. After a short while, she took out the first aid kit. Qin Lu subconsciously lifted her pants and revealed her swollen knees, but Mrs. Qin did not even look at them. She passed the first aid kit to her and turned around to leave.

Qin Lu stood rooted to the ground.

After a while, she returned to her room and applied medicine on herself.

That night, before she went to bed, Mrs. Qin did not even look at her.

The next morning, she woke up and packed her bag. When she went downstairs, she saw Mrs. Qin instructing the servant for lunch. She vaguely heard Mrs. Qin say, “When preparing lunch, you must prepare two sets of lunch boxes.”

Qin Lu paused. “Mom, are we starting to deliver lunch?”

Many people were not used to the school’s food. The wealthy families would choose to let the nanny deliver lunch at noon.

When Qin Lu first entered high school, Mrs. Qin had also sent her lunch for a while. However, when Qin Lu wanted to get along with her classmates, she told her mother to stop sending lunch.

Just as this thought arose in her mind, she heard Mrs. Qin say, “Yes, the college entrance examination is coming soon. That child, Xiao Shuang, has been studying hard recently. From what I saw yesterday, she’s already lost so much weight. I’ll bring her lunch every afternoon, as well as a serving for that young mistress of the Xue family. It’s embarrassing for Xiao Shuang to always be staying in someone else’s house.”

Qin Lu was stunned.

There were only two lunches in total. Qin Shuang had one, Xue Xi had one. What about her?

She looked at Mrs. Qin. “What about me?”

Mrs. Qin said, “Aren’t you eating at the canteen? Xiao Shuang is different from you. Her condition is special and she’s afraid of water…”

At this point, Mrs. Qin turned to look at her and reminded her, “You’re not allowed to give Xiao Shuang water from now on, understand?”

Qin Lu clenched her fists.

Mrs. Qin’s attitude toward her and Qin Shuang had undergone a 180-degree change. She had treated Qin Lu well in the past, but now, she was treating her badly.

Qin Lu took a deep breath and nodded.

After having breakfast, she went to school. Just as she entered the classroom, she heard the students discussing her. Qin Lu paused and greeted her good friend, but the friend simply ignored her after glancing at her.

Qin Lu sat in her seat. Just as she sat down, the person in front of her turned to look at her. “Qin Lu, we heard that you posted your photo and framed Qin Shuang on purpose. Is that true?”
