Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 113

“I’m sure the Qin family will receive packages from Qin Mei and Qin Dong soon. When that happens, you’ll see them wearing branded clothes and jewelry,” Lin Mengting said, her eyes flashing with determination. Qin Mei had always been proud and competitive. Given that Lin Mengting had already sent home four packages, and the Qin family was grumbling, Qin Mei would definitely make a move, despite Qin Dong’s reassurances.

When Qin Mei and Qin Dong’s gifts arrived, the rumors they had painstakingly spread would be debunked, achieving Lin Mengting’s goal of shifting the trouble elsewhere. The Qin family would focus on Qin Mei and Qin Dong, possibly pressuring them to accept their respective suitors.

By then, any effort by Qin Mei and Qin Dong to explain would be futile.

Lin Mengting’s words had been carefully crafted, blending truth and lies to make them indistinguishable. The inherent vanity and ambition of the Qin family would prevent them from revealing the truth at first. And when the situation spiraled out of control, it would be too late to clarify.

This was Lin Mengting’s way of repaying Qin Mei and Qin Dong for repeatedly scheming against her since her rebirth.

…

At this point, Yu Fengqing still didn’t fully understand Lin Mengting’s true nature. She thought Lin Mengting, though now sharper and more astute, was still the straightforward, innocent girl she remembered. So she couldn’t help but say, “That sounds like a good thing!”

“Isn’t it?” Lin Mengting said with a sly smile. “I’ve heard that the Fortune 500 company Qin Mei works for has opened a branch in M City. If she agrees to that young master’s pursuit, she could return home in style, marry into a wealthy family, and become an enviable rich lady. After that, Qin Mei would only need to discuss beauty treatments, clothes, and jewelry, without worrying about other trivial matters. She’d live a life of luxury and ease.”

It was said that a man would go to great lengths for the woman he loves. In Yu Fengqing’s view, M City wasn’t an ideal place for investment. But to win Qin Mei’s heart, the young master convinced the entire board to make such a decision, showing his deep affection.

Of course, Lin Mengting wasn’t lying entirely. The company indeed opened a branch in M City due to its large population and lower wages compared to the coastal city of S City. The same salary could hire two or three people in M City.

As for the young master pursuing Qin Mei, there was a lot of exaggeration. He was just the son of a small factory owner, not the son of the group’s big boss.

But who could say for sure that he wasn’t hiding his true identity, like the high-ranking official’s son who worked incognito in a small company? With Qin Dong being a reborn person, the future was unpredictable.

Regarding Qin Dong’s training center, the boss’s sister indeed fancied him. However, she was a chubby, older-looking girl in her twenties, appearing more like a forty or fifty-year-old woman. The claims about her property were just to fool the uninformed Qin family.

In G Province, traditional beliefs about male superiority and multiple wives were still strong. Wealthy families often had many children, with legitimate and illegitimate children. Family assets were usually reserved for sons, not daughters.

Even if Qin Dong explained this, the people of M City wouldn’t believe it. In M City, although there were many who favored sons, there was no concept of “illegitimate daughters.” The boss’s sister pursuing Qin Dong was indeed an illegitimate daughter.

These insights came from Lin Mengting’s “mind-reading” ability, gained after her rebirth, during phone conversations with Qin Dong.

…

There’s a saying, “Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.”

At that moment, Lin Mengting felt its truth.

“Tingting, you disappoint me!”

Hearing the resentful and accusatory voice, Lin Mengting couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the ceiling. She wasn’t surprised that Qin Dong managed to call her again.

Anyone with common sense would know to use a different number if their call was blocked.

However, Lin Mengting didn’t respond as he expected, instead replying coolly, “Who is this?”

“Tingting, you don’t recognize my voice?!” Qin Dong sounded shocked, incredulous, and filled with resentment. “It’s Qin Dong!”

But Lin Mengting remained unmoved, replying coldly, “Mr. Qin, I’m very busy. If you have nothing else, I’ll hang up.”

“Tingting, how can you treat me like this?” Qin Dong ignored her threat to hang up and continued, “I know my actions last time hurt you, but even so, you can’t treat me like this!”

[So much hatred!]

[Why is Lin Mengting so favored by fate? Why can’t someone like me, with the knowledge of a past life, have an easy and smooth journey this time?]

[Wait and see, Lin Mengting! Once I’ve extracted all your ‘value,’ I’ll repay you tenfold, no, a hundredfold for all the humiliation you’ve made me endure!]
