Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 116

Peeking through the peephole, Wang Qin’s smile vanished instantly.

“Tingting, didn’t you say you were tired? Go to your room and rest.”

Lin Mengting blinked, about to speak when she read the two words from Wang Qin’s lips Qin Dong!

What was he doing here again?

Frowning, Lin Mengting took Wang Qin’s advice and carried her sweet soup back to her room.

As soon as the door opened, Qin Dong fell to his knees with a loud thud and cried out, “I truly love you, Tingting! If you don’t believe me, I can show you my heart!”

His desperate wails echoed through the hallway, drawing the attention of many neighbors who stealthily opened their doors or peeked through their windows to witness the commotion. They were eager to gossip about this latest drama.

Wang Qin’s face turned pale. She hadn’t expected Qin Dong to go to such lengths.

She was glad she had sent Lin Mengting to her room. Otherwise, Qin Dong would have had his way.

“Mr. Qin, what do you mean by this?”

Given the situation, the initial plan to pretend not to know him and force him out was set aside.

It was time to lay everything out in the open, showing everyone Qin Dong’s true nature.

This way, when people mentioned Qin Dong in the future, they’d remember him as someone unworthy of Lin Mengting.

Before Qin Dong could reply, Wang Qin continued, “I recall you are dating your boss’s sister and are planning to get married. Now, you come here to harass my niece. What are you trying to achieve? Do you think just because your boss has money and power, you can treat my niece, an outsider, however you want? Make her your mistress and expect her to be happy about it? You’re dreaming! I’ve seen people like you who haven’t even ‘become a phoenix’ but are already trying to have a harem. Do you think everyone else is a fool while you’re the only smart one? Do you think you can deceive that girl and her family into forgiving you with sweet words? Your behavior is despicable. Now, will you leave on your own, or should I call security to drag you out?”

“Auntie, it’s not like that!”

Tears streaming down his face, Qin Dong pleaded, “It’s all lies! I don’t even know who my boss’s sister is. How could I be planning to marry her? This must be a setup by those who are jealous of me. Don’t be fooled!”

“You’re good at talking!” Wang Qin sneered, looking at Qin Dong with disdain. “Do you think just because I’ve been in S City for years, I don’t know what’s happening back home? I met your parents before and thought they were decent people. Who knew they’d have a son like you! All lies and deceit! If I weren’t here today, what would have happened to Tingting?”

Words can be deadly.

Especially since Wang Qin had plans to find a perfect match for Lin Mengting in a few years.

…

“If it weren’t for your parents, do you think I’d let you spout such nonsense here?”

Lin Mengting was skilled at endearing herself to elders. If it were anyone else, no matter how long they stayed or how much they tried to please, they wouldn’t gain Wang Qin’s protection as easily as Lin Mengting did.

Without realizing it, Wang Qin had already started viewing Lin Mengting as one of her own, like a daughter. Though technically her niece, Lin Mengting’s charm filled the gap left by Wang Qin’s tomboyish daughter, Lin Chunying.

This made Wang Qin even more resentful towards Qin Mei and Qin Dong for scheming against Lin Mengting.

“Considering your parents, I’ll let this slide if you leave now. Otherwise, I’ll call them to teach you a lesson! You were preparing for a wedding but came here to harass a young girl. What are you thinking? Do you want to get married? Do you want to marry that rich girl? Do you want to achieve your goals without any effort? Qin Dong, you’re smart enough to know what you should do.”

Without looking up, Qin Dong felt the scornful and mocking gazes from all around, as if everyone was laughing at his foolishness.

But today, Qin Dong was determined. Even if he gained nothing, he would drag Lin Mengting down.

He raised his head, glaring at Wang Qin with hatred.

“I call you Auntie out of respect for Tingting. Do you think her parents can decide her marriage? You know Tingting and I are deeply in love and have promised ourselves to each other. Yet you keep us apart for your selfish reasons, brainwashing her to marry a wealthy and powerful man to climb the social ladder and bring you benefits! Today, you might stop me, but you can’t keep us apart forever! No matter what rumors you spread, you can’t stop our love! I’ll wait for the day you regret this and beg me for Tingting’s sake!”
