Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 120

A little jealousy is good because it can motivate people to work hard to reach the top and surpass those they envy.

But if you can’t turn that jealousy into motivation and instead fall into dark emotions, letting them control you, it will lead to terrible destruction!

Lin Mengting nodded thoughtfully. If it weren’t for this, Qin Mei wouldn’t have done something so self-destructive.

But now, a new problem appeared.

Qin Mei was like a cornered snake, ready to strike at her “enemy” with all her might, even if it meant risking her own life.

In a situation where “you can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can’t guard against a thief for a thousand days,” Lin Mengting felt there was no reason to show Qin Mei any sympathy or pity.

“So, what should we do now?”

Who knew if that powerful official, who was used to fine food and suddenly wanted to try simple dishes, would also take revenge for his beloved mistress?!

“Wait,” Lin Chunying said slowly, but she didn’t explain further. Even though Lin Mengting gave her a deadly glare, she remained unfazed.

Lin Mengting “…”

You can’t leave people hanging like this!

This is unbearable!!

We have to break up as friends!!!

…

As if sensing Lin Mengting’s frustration and resentment, or maybe just to tease her, Lin Chunying suddenly laughed. “You’re still young, some things aren’t suitable for you to know yet.”

Her words implied “you’ll understand when you grow up,” which made Lin Mengting roll her eyes in disdain and scorn.

“If you carelessly reveal something that affects the ‘big plan,’ it wouldn’t matter much. But if it puts your life in danger, what would you do then?”

“Heh!” Lin Mengting scoffed at Lin Chunying’s twisted logic. “In other words, you don’t know either!”

“Oh, you’ve caught me!” Lin Chunying shrugged, looking helpless just like Lin Mengting had earlier.

…

From then on, every day, Lin Mengting would try to probe Lin Chunying. Even though she knew Lin Chunying didn’t know the so-called “big plan,” she kept doing it for fun.

And this was when Lin Mengting finally realized how satisfying it was to find joy in someone else’s frustration.

Sure enough, if you’re unhappy, you need to “bully” someone to feel better!

Just before Lin Chunying was about to be driven crazy by her frustration, and Lin Mengting’s curiosity and patience were about to run out, she received a call from Yu Fengqing that night.

“Mom, what did you say?!” Lin Mengting scratched her ear, not believing what she heard. “Qin Mei went back home?!”

“You didn’t know?” Yu Fengqing was even more surprised than Lin Mengting. “I heard she accepted a rich man’s marriage proposal and went home to discuss the wedding.”

“A rich man?” Lin Mengting blinked, finally recalling some things from her past memories. “You mean the son of that big company boss?”

“Yes!” Yu Fengqing was also puzzled by Lin Mengting’s questions but quickly brushed it off. “You should have seen it, Qin Mei drove home in a car called a ‘Mercedes,’ worth millions. It was a birthday gift from that rich man. They’re planning to honeymoon in the Maldives…”

Ha! The ability to create stories and fool people is impressive. Lin Mengting had to give Qin Mei credit for that.

However, letting Qin Mei “clear her name” like this wasn’t what Lin Mengting wanted. Given Qin Mei’s vengeful and ruthless nature, it would be best to stop her now rather than risk future trouble.

“I heard she dumped that rich man and immediately hooked up with a sixty-year-old man.”

“Are you serious?” Yu Fengqing was shocked and couldn’t believe it. “Why would Qin Mei give up a good marriage to be with a sixty-year-old man?”

“Mom, you’re mistaken,” Lin Mengting laughed. “She’s not marrying him. That man already has a wife, daughters, and several grandchildren.” Although she couldn’t see Yu Fengqing’s face, Lin Mengting could imagine her expression. “In ancient times, this would be called ‘offering oneself as a concubine.’ Nowadays, she’s just his mistress.”

With each word Lin Mengting said, Yu Fengqing’s expression became more cracked. In the end, she didn’t know what to think. She wiped her face and said, “Where did you hear this from? You can’t just make things up!”

“Mom, I’m always honest,” Lin Mengting said sincerely. “But maybe I’m thinking too negatively. Maybe they really are in love!”

Even though Yu Fengqing couldn’t see her, she could sense Lin Mengting’s honesty through her words.

But hearing “true love” from Lin Mengting made Yu Fengqing uneasy.

Taking a deep breath and calming herself, Yu Fengqing said, “I don’t think Qin Mei is that stupid.”
