269 Slapping Qin Lan
“How’s it going?”
Seeing Qiu Shengli return, his wife walked over and asked anxiously, “Is it done?”
Qiu Shengli’s face was livid. “Don’t mention it. They’re just a bunch of trash.”
“Then what should we do? If we can’t ruin their business, won’t our fruit shop close down? Hubby, quickly think of a way!”
The woman panicked and quickly shook his arm, making Qiu Shengli feel frustrated. He pushed the woman away and said angrily, “Think of a way, think of a way. Do you think I have nothing else to do? You only know how to fool around every day. At the critical moment, you can’t help at all!”
After venting his anger on his wife, he turned around and went upstairs, leaving the woman sitting on the ground in disbelief.
Upstairs, he looked around to make sure no one was around. He picked up the phone and dialed a number. After three beeps, the call was answered. A man’s voice came from the other end. “Hello?”
When Qiu Shengli heard the voice, he quickly said respectfully. “Hello, is this Master Qi? I screwed up…”
“Yes, that’s normal!”
Master Qi’s voice was emotionless, making Qiu Shengli’s heart sink and his back turn cold.
“Don’t worry, this is just the appetizer. The show is still ongoing! As long as you follow my plan, no matter if it fails or not, you will benefit greatly.”
“Forgive me for asking. Master Qi, what’s the purpose of you doing this?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. You just have to remember that even if you’re exposed, you can’t expose me. Of course, even if you’re exposed, I have the ability to fish you out.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Master Qi, don’t worry. I won’t say anything.”
“That’s good.”
After hanging up, Qiu Shengli wiped his forehead, but his eyes were filled with hatred. “Sweet Dew Fruit Store, just you wait. You are destined to fail.”

Pingluo Village.
Qin Lan was still sleeping when suddenly, a slap landed on her face without warning. Immediately after, her scalp hurt and she was forcefully pulled off the bed.
“Jinx, ever since you married into our Lin family, the Lin family has been in trouble one after another. If you hadn’t seduced my son back then, would my son have become like this? You’re just a jinx and a piece of trash. Our Lin family is really unlucky to have you.”
Qin Lan felt dizzy. She screamed, “What are you doing? Hurry up and let go. It hurts. Let go of me. Guosheng, Guosheng, come and help me. Your mother is crazy. Pull her away…”
“How dare you piece of trash say that I’m crazy? Alright, I’ll show you how crazy I am today.” As she spoke, the old lady pulled her hair with her thin hand and slapped her face.
No one from the Lin family went forward to help. They all looked at each other with gloating eyes.
The old lady’s name was Tao Cuihua, and she was Lin Guosheng’s mother. In the Lin family, the old lady had the final say. Even Old Lin had to listen to the old lady.
Looking at Qin Lan, who was being slapped, Lin Guosheng’s eyes were filled with hatred. He gritted his teeth and shouted, “Kill her, Mom. Kill her.”
Qin Lan was confused. She felt especially aggrieved and indignant, especially when she heard Lin Guosheng’s words. She screamed, “Lin Guosheng, you good-for-nothing. Your wife is being beaten up, but you don’t even want to help. You’re a useless good-for-nothing!”
Lin Guosheng was furious. Ignoring the injuries on his body, he leaped to Qin Lan in two steps and kicked her in the stomach.
“Ouch…”
