Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 131

“Mom, what did you say?”

Lin Mengting blinked and rubbed her ears, not believing what she had just heard.

She must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today!

How could Qin Mei suddenly be pregnant?

In her past life, Qin Mei only got married because she was pregnant six years later, in her 36th year!

Could this be the so-called “butterfly effect”?

Compared to Lin Mengting’s confusion, Yu Fengqing, who didn’t know about this “past life” stuff, was very calm.

“What’s so surprising? Qin Mei is already thirty, it’s a good time for her to be pregnant.”

As for “having a baby before marriage”?

In this day and age, who cares about that small issue? Besides, Qin Mei is already old and can’t afford to waste any more time.

Most importantly, Qin Mei came back home with the excuse of “preparing for marriage.” Since the baby is still early in the pregnancy, she can hide it for a while, so it won’t embarrass the Qin family too much.

Lin Mengting said helplessly, “Mom, did you forget what I told you last time?”

“You mean?!” Yu Fengqing frowned, suddenly realizing the strange feeling she had when she heard about Qin Mei’s pregnancy.

However, even so, Yu Fengqing instinctively argued. “That can’t be!”

After all, if what Lin Mengting said was true, and Qin Mei was some big official’s mistress, then with the Qin family’s cunning nature, they wouldn’t make such a big fuss.

“Returning home in glory,” “ten miles of red makeup,” and other self-praising words must be timed right, or it would backfire and offend many people.

“Mom, in this world, anything can happen.” Lin Mengting smiled, feeling that Qin Mei’s pregnancy was not simple.

Maybe it had something to do with what Lin Chunying said last time. “Kids should stay out of adult affairs”?

Yu Fengqing’s heart skipped a beat, “Tingting, what are you thinking?”

“Mom, it’s just my guess. I don’t know if it’s true yet.” Lin Mengting thought for a moment, then said, “I’ll tell you after I confirm it. By the way, Mom, we should keep our distance from the Qin family.”

“Alright, like I need you to teach me!” Yu Fengqing said, but her heart felt warm. Her daughter, who she had carried for ten months and raised with care, had grown up, become sensible, and cared for her parents. How could she not feel pleased and happy?!

“In the future, when you’re alone in S City, take care of your safety…” Putting aside the matter of Qin Mei, Yu Fengqing started her usual nagging whenever she called Lin Mengting.

Lin Mengting listened quietly, occasionally responding, no longer feeling annoyed like she did at this age in her past life. Her face showed the unique happiness of being cared for and cherished.

…

“Pregnant? That’s good news!” Lin Chunying looked sincere and calm, as if she hadn’t said those ambiguous words before.

“For most people, it is good news. But for Qin Mei…” Lin Mengting raised her eyebrows, her eyes playful, “It might not be so good.”

“That’s her problem. It has nothing to do with us.” Lin Chunying’s eyes flickered, and she suddenly scrutinized Lin Mengting, her deep gaze making Lin Mengting’s heart race.

Sure enough, Lin Chunying chuckled and said meaningfully, “Didn’t you say you were just ordinary hometown friends with Qin Mei? Why are you so concerned about her today? Could it be that you two have some kind of love-hate relationship?”

“You’re overthinking it.” Lin Mengting rolled her eyes without hesitation. “I’m just curious about who the father of Qin Mei’s baby is.”

“What are you planning now?!” Lin Chunying suddenly leaned closer to Lin Mengting and whispered mysteriously, “If you’re willing to tell me, then…”

Lin Mengting instantly understood what Lin Chunying meant and sighed, “I’m just curious, that’s all.”

“Heh!” Lin Chunying rolled her eyes at Lin Mengting. “Who would believe that?!”

“Oh.” Lin Mengting responded casually and went back to her “homework,” showing a proud attitude that made Lin Chunying grind her teeth in frustration!

Lin Chunying’s eyes sparkled as she tried to tempt Lin Mengting, “Tingting, don’t you really want to know? Aren’t you a bit curious?”

Lin Mengting didn’t even turn her head. “Hmm?”

“Tingting!”

“Hmm!”

Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Chunying stood up, snatched the book from Lin Mengting’s hands, and threatened, “Lin Mengting!”

“Sister Ying.” Lin Mengting blinked her watery almond eyes, looking up innocently at Lin Chunying. Her confused expression might have fooled others, but not Lin Chunying, who was now immune to Lin Mengting’s “cute” act!

“Tell me, or not?!” Lin Chunying crossed her arms, looking ready to teach Lin Mengting a lesson if she didn’t cooperate.

“I’ll tell you!” Lin Mengting surrendered immediately. “From a medical perspective, a man in his sixties can get a woman pregnant, but the chances are very low! Besides, given that man’s status, he must have had plenty of young, beautiful women around him over the years. If he wanted a ‘late son,’ it wouldn’t be so difficult.”

“And then?!” Lin Chunying smiled, knowing Lin Mengting was never a “naive” girl who would let others push her around without fighting back!

Only her seemingly smart but actually naive mother would mistake Lin Mengting, this fierce and cunning tigress, for a soft and cute little rabbit!
