Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 127

“Heh! They say ‘it takes two to tango.’ If Lin Mengting hadn’t made some suggestive moves, how could Qin Dong have fallen into her love trap and become so deeply entangled? After all, everyone has seen how excellent and capable Qin Dong is over the years. It’s not that I look down on Lin Mengting, but a girl like her, with no education, no stable job, no looks, and no charm, isn’t even worthy of carrying Qin Dong’s shoes! If Lin Mengting hadn’t seduced Qin Dong, how could he have been deceived? But now, Aunt Yu claims that Qin Dong and I set up a trap to deceive Lin Mengting. This is the most ridiculous joke I’ve ever heard!”

In an instant, the onlookers started discussing again.

“I think Qin Mei has a point.”

“I’ve seen Qin Dong. He is indeed excellent and capable! To say someone like him would pester a girl relentlessly, I don’t believe it for a second!”

“I think Qin Mei is making excuses. Everyone knows how important a girl’s reputation is. Yet Qin Mei deliberately comes here and says these misleading things. Who knows what her intentions are?”

“Now that you mention it, I remember seeing Qin Dong in college. He was a handsome young man. But after he started working at the bank, within a few years, he ballooned up to 200 pounds! He looks like he’s six months pregnant, tsk tsk!”

“I’ve always said there’s no good in the Qin family! My son was in the same class as Qin Dong. When he came home recently, he mentioned how Qin Dong was always at the bottom of the class. God knows how much they paid and how many connections they used to get him into that so-called ‘prestigious’ university!”

“Now that you mention it, I heard Qin Dong got his job at the bank through connections!”

Those connections were from the “official’s son” who had pursued Qin Mei back then.

“No wonder, after Qin Mei left the hospital, Qin Dong also left the bank! And the Qin family spread rumors that they were just taking unpaid leave to relax in S City and would be back soon. Looking at them now, it doesn’t seem like they’ll be back anytime soon!”

“What a joke! After offending that person, how could they come back?!”

…

Qin Mei’s face turned blue, then red, and finally as dark as ink.

How could this happen?!

She had deliberately obscured the facts and picked out keywords to stir up everyone’s interest, intending to have Yu Fengqing attacked by the crowd and effortlessly disgrace the Lin family!

Yet, before Yu Fengqing even spoke, the crowd’s discussion had veered so far off track!

—Wait! What’s that?!

In this critical moment, Qin Mei finally realized the source of her initial unease!

“Aunt Yu, you must have spent a lot of money on this ‘show,’ right?” Qin Mei sneered, her eyes sweeping over those who discreetly defended Lin Mengting, seeing their hypocritical faces beneath their kind words.

“If I had known this, why would I bother arguing with you today?” Qin Mei sighed. “No matter how I defend myself or present real events, in your mouth, Aunt Yu, we Qin family members will always be in the wrong. This world truly is ‘the rich walk all over the world without reason, the poor can’t move an inch with reason’!”

“Qin Mei, your heart is already twisted, so the world you see is also twisted.” Yu Fengqing chuckled, a rare trace of sympathy and pity in her eyes, though it quickly vanished. This only made Qin Mei even angrier.

But before Qin Mei could speak, Yu Fengqing continued, “Actually, proving who’s lying between us is simple. Just show the evidence.”

Then Yu Fengqing turned to the crowd with a smile, “Young people today are full of lies. Out of ten sentences, nine are false, leaving only one truth. Everyone knows I’m usually a kind person. If I weren’t pushed to the limit, I wouldn’t argue like this. What did the Qin family do? What roles did Qin Mei and Qin Dong play? I have plenty of evidence. Even though the Qin family disregarded our long-time neighborly ties, I must still answer to my conscience.”

Yu Fengqing’s gaze slowly landed on Qin Mei.

As Qin Mei’s expression turned from indignant and helpless to one of frustration and disbelief, Yu Fengqing sneered and continued, “I have videos and recordings of you and Qin Dong repeatedly harassing Tingting.”

Videos? Recordings?!

Qin Mei’s eyes widened in shock, her lips, which had been pressed into a stubborn line, parted in disbelief, wide enough to fit an egg. She was utterly stunned.

How could these things have traveled across thousands of miles to end up in Yu Fengqing’s hands?

No, why do these things even exist?!

Could it be that from the beginning, Lin Mengting was wary and cautious of her and Qin Dong, and after they started causing trouble, she used her fourth uncle’s connections to intercept all the videos and recordings?!

Did she plan all this just to release such evidence when they came knocking, catching them off guard?

Such a vicious mind! Such ruthless methods!

It’s hard to believe this came from an 18-year-old girl just stepping into society!!

These tactics, this cunning, even she, who prided herself on being “smart and shrewd,” had to bow down in admiration!

…

At this moment, Qin Mei couldn’t sense the shocked and disgusted expressions of those around her, nor hear their mocking and disdainful comments. Her head buzzed, her vision blurred with stars, and her body seemed to lose its last support, collapsing weakly to the side.
