Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 115

In the afternoon, Lin Mengting, who hadn’t planned to go out, grabbed her bag and left the house.

She needed to preemptively block Qin Mei and Qin Dong’s numbers on Lin Yian and Wang Qin’s phones to prevent them from receiving harassing calls.

…

Despite this, Lin Mengting knew that someone like Qin Mei and Qin Dong wouldn’t give up so easily.

Sure enough, the next day, Lin Mengting received another call from Qin Mei.

But unlike yesterday’s shrewish rant that failed to gain any sympathy, this time, Qin Mei’s voice was filled with fatigue and resentment as she sternly questioned, “Tingting, how could you bully Qin Dong like this? What did Qin Dong ever do wrong? Is it a crime that he loves you, someone he shouldn’t love? But even so, he’s always treated you sincerely and has never done anything to upset you. He cares about your feelings and silently protects you… But how do you repay him?! You spread rumors about me and the sons and grandsons of some company executives, and now you’re targeting Qin Dong! You know Qin Dong’s heart belongs to you, and he would only marry you, but you still spread rumors about him and the boss’s sister getting engaged! How can you repay his true feelings with such cruelty?!”

As if consumed by unresolved resentment and anger, and infuriated by Lin Mengting’s calm demeanor, Qin Mei’s voice grew sharper, almost hysterical, like a madwoman.

But Lin Mengting remained unfazed, even amused, as she asked, “Excuse me, who is this? Did you dial the wrong number?”

Qin Mei was stunned, unable to believe that after her long rant, Lin Mengting could still respond so politely and detachedly.

How ruthless!

Accustomed to hiding her disdain and arrogance behind a gentle facade, Qin Mei found herself speechless for a moment, faced with Lin Mengting’s cold, unfeeling nature.

“Stop pretending, Lin Mengting!” Qin Mei sneered, breaking through Lin Mengting’s facade. “Don’t think I don’t know you have a special ability to recognize voices!”

This was a compensation from the heavens for Lin Mengting’s face blindness.

“Sorry, Miss, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m very busy right now.” Lin Mengting said and hung up, adding Qin Mei’s number to the blacklist.

Imagining Qin Mei’s changing expressions, her helpless frustration as she repeatedly tried to call from different phones, Lin Mengting felt her earlier irritation dissolve.

Indeed, “one’s joy is built on another’s pain.”

Especially with shameless people like Qin Mei and Qin Dong, they deserved it.

“Lin Mengting, are you alright?” At that moment, Qian Zhiyuan approached Lin Mengting with a concerned look, pointing to her recently ended call.

“If you encounter any problems you can’t solve, you can talk to me or Manager Ding.”

He paused, then added meaningfully, “Especially those troublesome things young women might be embarrassed to handle.”

[They say ‘heroes love beauties,’ but it’s also true that heroes and fools alike flock to beautiful women. Lin Mengting, especially, attracts them.]

[Judging by the harassing calls she has been receiving, my plan is working! Spreading Lin Mengting’s information to those ‘admirers’ from her past life was a brilliant move!]

[No matter her high emotional and intellectual intelligence, or her commendable work abilities and enviable fortune, she can’t handle all these problems alone.]

[Especially if one or two of her suitors are powerful enough that she can’t easily offend them, it will be even more interesting.]

[In such a case, Lin Mengting will self-destruct without any intervention from me.]

“Thank you for your concern, Vice Manager Qian. I’m fine.” Lin Mengting replied coldly, ignoring Qian Zhiyuan’s insincere concern.

As for his thoughts?

Hah!

In her past life, Lin Mengting might have been troubled and spent much time and effort avoiding such schemes.

But in this life, with her mind-reading ability, Lin Mengting feared nothing!

In her view, a man with foresight, focusing on minor schemes instead of long-term goals, no matter how capable or cunning, was destined to fail.

Qian Zhiyuan felt a bit regretful but maintained a friendly demeanor, “Alright, everyone is concerned about you. In this company, if you encounter any trouble, we can handle it together. Especially the men in our department, they would protect our department’s flower.”

“Thank you, Vice Manager Qian. I won’t hesitate to ask for help if needed.”

At that moment, another call came in. Using the excuse to take the call, Lin Mengting avoided further interaction with Qian Zhiyuan.

Qian Zhiyuan sighed quietly. Though he didn’t get any useful information, he was confident that Lin Mengting was troubled, which suited his plans.

With that thought, he leisurely returned to his seat.

…

After a busy day at work, Lin Mengting relaxed at home, enjoying Wang Qin’s sweet soup and chatting about interesting work events, when the doorbell rang.
