Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 129

In an instant, Qin Mei felt a bone-chilling cold spread from the depths of her heart, quickly enveloping her entire body, draining all the color from her face. Her teeth chattered loudly, and her whole body trembled violently.

—So, this was his “revenge”!

He must have seen through her intentions from the start and decided to toy with her out of spite.

On the surface, he acted “deeply in love” with her, but behind her back, who knows how much he was mocking and ridiculing her!

She had always prided herself on her “extraordinary means,” thinking she could make such a playboy fall for her. She never expected that she was merely a pawn he could discard at any moment.

No! No!! It couldn’t be just that!

Now that she thought about it carefully, perhaps even their initial “chance encounter” was orchestrated by someone else. The one who revealed her information and “directed” this whole “farce” was likely the “official’s son” who, after being used to the finer things, suddenly wanted to taste something different!

—So, she had unknowingly become a pawn in someone else’s game?

She had confidently believed that after leaving the heartbreak of M City and arriving at S City, her luck had changed, and she was about to lead a life of glory and honor!

But behind the facade of luxury and prosperity, the truth was so filthy and despicable!

…

“Clatter! Clatter!”

The sound of teeth chattering, like a rat gnawing on something frantically, was so eerie that it finally brought Qin Mei’s mother back from her pleasant daydreams, making her notice something was wrong with Qin Mei.

“Qin Mei, what’s going on?!”

—Her face was pale, her teeth clenched, her eyes wide open, and her body trembling. She didn’t look “overjoyed” or “moved to tears” at all!

The urgency and worry in her mother’s voice snapped Qin Mei out of her daze.

Qin Mei took a deep breath and, with a resolute expression, said, “Mom, I can’t keep this child!”

“Do you even know what you’re saying?!” Her mother couldn’t believe her ears and looked at Qin Mei with growing anger.

“Qin Mei, you’re not young anymore! Other girls your age already have children old enough to run errands. You’ve put off marriage, and your father and I let you be because of that incident. But now, you’re pregnant, how can you be so willful! Think about it for yourself, for me and your father, for Qin Dong, and for our whole family! You’ve gone off to S City, free from gossip, living carefree…”

Qin Mei just lowered her eyes slightly, not arguing with her mother, but feeling a deep emptiness inside.

Even her family, who used to support and understand her the most, were now full of anger and resentment towards her decision. Was she really wrong?

No! Absolutely not!!

She couldn’t be wrong!!

The ones who were wrong were not only the “scumbag and slut” who betrayed her but also those two men who dared to plot against her!

If her mother knew what Qin Mei was thinking, she would likely look at her with a “disappointed” expression, either gently persuading her or firmly “waking” her up.

Either way, for Qin Mei, who was already stubbornly fixated, it would lead to a new future.

Unfortunately, her mother, usually observant, was too preoccupied with the “news of Qin Mei wanting an abortion” to notice anything off about her daughter’s demeanor. She only stopped her nagging when she saw Qin Mei’s tired and weary expression and concluded, “In any case, Qin Mei, I don’t care what you think, this child must be born! Also, give me the father’s phone number right now. I’ll call him!”

The man who got her daughter pregnant and dared to hide in S City without showing up? Regardless of his status, he must marry Qin Mei as soon as possible!

Qin Mei slightly lifted her eyes, letting all her fear and unease show before her mother, and gave a bitter smile, “Mom, can you let me think about it?”

This made her mother’s heart ache again, and even her eyebrows knitted together. She looked at Qin Mei for a long time, then nodded and said, “Alright, think carefully about what I said. I’m doing this for your good. Oh… you were so obedient and sensible as a child, why do you make me worry more as you grow up?!”

With these confusing and worried thoughts, Qin Mei’s mother left to discuss with her father how to handle Qin Mei’s pregnancy properly, to ensure her reputation remained intact when marrying into a wealthy family, and to wipe away the recent criticism of the Qin family.

…

The afternoon sunlight streamed through the large window, inviting one to come closer.

Standing by the window, looking outside, the first thing Qin Mei noticed was a vast expanse of green. Deep and light shades, dotted with a few flowers. The blue sky, white clouds, and mist-covered mountains formed a beautiful scene.

Occasionally, a gentle breeze brought the unique scent of a winter afternoon.

“Heh!” A sudden cold laugh shattered the silence of the room.

No, it should be said that from the moment her mother left, the air in the room seemed thick, and the atmosphere became unusually quiet.

Who knows what Qin Mei suddenly thought of at that moment, but her expression turned dark and unreadable. Her slightly squinted eyes revealed a chilling aura.

After a few minutes, Qin Mei took out a small, exquisite, rose-colored flip phone and casually dialed a familiar number.

While waiting for the call to connect, she leaned against the wall, extending her hand into the sunlight, letting her fingers dance in the light.

For a moment, her mind felt clear and serene.

Unfortunately, this calmness vanished the moment the call connected.
