Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 119

The next day, at noon, Lin Mengting was once again “ambushed.”

“Mengting, I want to talk to you.” Qin Mei’s face twisted for a moment, and her eyes were filled with anger and resentment, along with a hint of madness.

Sun Lina, who was holding Lin Mengting’s arm, glanced at Qin Mei and frowned slightly. “Mengting, is she your friend?”

“She’s a neighbor from my hometown,” Lin Mengting replied with a smile. She quickly sensed the worry and caution in Sun Lina’s words, so she reassured her, “You all go ahead and have lunch. I’ll talk to this old neighbor.”

Sun Lina’s lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but under Lin Mengting’s shaking head, she swallowed her words and left with the other girls.

“Hmph!” Qin Mei sneered as she watched them leave. Although she was disappointed she couldn’t cause a scene in public and embarrass Lin Mengting, she knew the importance of not overdoing it. “I didn’t expect you to have such good friends. No wonder these past few days have been getting harder and harder for my brother and me.”

At this point, Qin Mei’s mouth twisted into a mocking smile. “I wonder how long you can keep up this act. After all, everything eventually comes to light.”

Even though she didn’t say it out loud, Lin Mengting understood. But she didn’t get angry. She just looked at Qin Mei calmly and said in a distant tone, “What goes around comes around.”

Even children understand that actions have consequences. Qin Mei, who was always smart and cunning, surely understood this too, right? But many people, like Qin Mei, believed they could plot against others without expecting any resistance or counteractions.

“If you came here today just to say this, then I won’t stay.”

“Are you scared?” Qin Mei sneered, her eyes full of malice. “You must be. If your act is exposed, you’ll not only lose your job but become a laughingstock!”

“You’re overthinking it,” Lin Mengting said calmly, not even twitching an eyebrow. “You have two choices.”

“One, state your purpose and leave.”

“Two, I’ll call security to drag you out.”

Drag her out?

Drag her out!!

It’s easy to imagine how humiliating it would be for a young woman to be dragged out by security.

Qin Mei’s face turned red with anger, and she looked at Lin Mengting like a furious beast.

However, since the setting was different and Qin Mei feared Lin Yian and Wang Qin, she took several deep breaths before suppressing her rage.

Even so, her eyes remained wild, giving off a dangerous vibe.

Seeing this, Lin Mengting frowned slightly. This behavior was far from the composed Qin Mei she remembered, who never lost her cool.

Could her changes really have such a huge impact on Qin Mei and Qin Dong?

No!

Lin Mengting quickly dismissed this thought. Instead, it seemed that Qin Mei had never taken her seriously. So, when her plans failed because of Lin Mengting, she naturally became furious.

Finally, Qin Mei showed her true intentions. “Mengting, you know leaving a familiar city for a strange place is very difficult.”

This was about Qin Dong leaving S City for the capital.

“And all this is because of you!”

“You can blame me all you want,” Lin Mengting said, not feeling the need to correct her.

Qin Mei didn’t think discussing this further would be useful, so she bluntly stated her request. “Lend me 100,000, and we’ll call it even.”

Qin Mei emphasized the word “lend,” making it clear she had no intention of repaying or signing any note. She was practically demanding compensation for Qin Dong’s emotional distress.

“Otherwise, I might come here every day to bother you. Or maybe I’ll sit outside your uncle and aunt’s office, crying and begging.”

This was a threat!

A blatant threat!

Would Lin Mengting accept it?

Of course not!

“Miss Qin, use your brain. Don’t leave it at home,” Lin Mengting said, half amused and half annoyed. She wondered what was going on in Qin Mei’s head to say something so absurd!

“Hmph!” Qin Mei ignored Lin Mengting’s sarcasm and said coldly, “Mengting, I’ll give you one more chance.”

“Talk to your uncle and aunt before making a decision. You don’t want to end up ruining yourself and causing trouble for those who care about you. Otherwise, even in the deepest pits of hell, you won’t cleanse your sins!”

With that, Qin Mei turned and left, leaving Lin Mengting standing there, frowning and feeling puzzled.

What gave Qin Mei such confidence to say those things?
