Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 132

“If I’m not wrong, the father of the child is that rich guy named Li, right?”

“Maybe it’s that ‘official’s son’ instead?!” Lin Chunying said with a smile, not showing any reaction to the bombshell Lin Mengting had just dropped.

“Are you joking?!” Lin Mengting gave Lin Chunying a sideways glance. “Those guys always think they’re ‘charming but not sleazy,’ ‘involved with many women but leaving no trace,’ always relying on their fathers and family background to get by. They just want to enjoy life, so how could they end up with an illegitimate child?”

Especially not a “child born out of wedlock” before marriage, which would never be allowed!

“You seem to know a lot.” Lin Chunying pouted. “Don’t tell me you got this from those so-called ‘novels’ and ‘TV shows.'”

“Isn’t it normal?” Lin Mengting replied calmly. “Novels might be exaggerated, but they come from real life!”

Feeling momentarily defeated, Lin Chunying quickly changed the topic and asked, “Do you think Qin Mei will come back to S City?”

“Is that even a question?!” Lin Mengting replied without hesitation. “Qin Mei isn’t stupid. If she doesn’t come back to S City, would she stay in M City and wait for her lies to be exposed?!”

What a joke!

Even the Qin family wouldn’t allow a “pregnant woman” like Qin Mei to stay in a less developed place like M City!

Besides, now that she’s pregnant, if she doesn’t return to S City to secure her “position,” when will she? Would she let some other woman take advantage of this opportunity to bond with her husband?

Only a fool would do that!

“That’s where you’re wrong.” Lin Chunying raised an eyebrow. “Want to bet? And the stakes?” Lin Chunying paused, looked around Lin Mengting’s room, and slowly said, “Let’s just keep it open. I’ll ask for something later.”

“No!” Lin Mengting shook her finger, firmly rejecting the idea. “I won’t bet with you.”

“If you’re worried I’ll ask you to do something beyond your ability, don’t be. It’ll be something you can easily handle.” Lin Chunying smiled and promised. “You can ask for the same stakes.”

“No!” Lin Mengting refused again. Did they think her skills in “reading people” developed over two lifetimes wouldn’t work on Lin Chunying?

It was obvious from the start that Lin Chunying had some solid reason for proposing this bet!

“The rich guy will fly back to M City and discuss marrying Qin Mei with the Qin family.” Lin Mengting said this without much conviction.

But Lin Chunying nodded, looking pleased and impressed. “Tingting, you’re so smart! How did you guess that?! I’m starting to wonder if there’s anything in this world you don’t know!”

“I don’t want your praise.” Especially when it was this kind of praise that felt more like a burden.

“That rich guy really hasn’t married and had kids?” Lin Mengting asked in surprise, not sure whether to be more impressed by the “faithful” rich guy or the “determined” Qin Mei finally marrying into a wealthy family. “He’s almost fifty, right?!”

“What kind of look is that!” Lin Chunying laughed. “He’s just turned forty. Yes, he’s a bit old, but think about it, Qin Mei is already thirty. She can’t be too picky anymore. Meeting someone like him isn’t bad. His bald head shines like a lightbulb. You’re telling me he’s forty? Seventy sounds more like it!” Lin Mengting’s expression of disbelief made Lin Chunying laugh again.

“He just looks old!” Then, suddenly serious, Lin Chunying said, “Tingting, from now on, wherever you go, let us know first.”

This was out of concern that Qin Mei might persuade the rich guy to support her, then come back to S City and use his money and influence to go after Lin Mengting.

Even though the Lin family had managed to redirect Qin Mei’s anger toward the “cheating couple,” who could say for sure that Qin Mei wouldn’t still take it out on Lin Mengting first?

“Sister Ying, I understand.” Lin Mengting nodded, becoming more cautious.

In her past life, Qin Mei, despite not having an easy life, still found a form of “happiness.”

This time, with Lin Mengting’s “mind-reading” ability revealing Qin Dong’s secret early on, she had kept her distance from Qin Mei and Qin Dong. Using her past life experience, she achieved impressive success, which in turn hit Qin Mei hard.

In this situation, a frustrated and hurt Qin Mei might take it out on Lin Mengting!

…

In the next few days, with some clues from Lin Yian and Wang Qin, Lin Mengting clearly understood Qin Mei’s current situation.

Moreover, Zhang Qiang, who shared some common interests with Lin Mengting, unintentionally revealed information that made it clear Qin Mei was in deep trouble.

This made Lin Mengting very satisfied.

Especially since Qin Mei was staying at M City People’s Hospital, where she used to work!

Every day, Qin Mei had to face her “former best friend” who had taken her boyfriend, constantly seeing the couple flaunting their relationship. Her long-hidden anger must be burning her up inside!

On top of that, dealing with the issues from her pregnancy left Qin Mei constantly on edge. How could she have any energy left to go after Lin Mengting?

Though, strictly speaking, Lin Mengting wasn’t afraid of Qin Mei’s schemes.

But why not avoid trouble if she could?

Most importantly, Lin Mengting couldn’t imagine what crazy things Qin Mei might do in her anger!

It’s better to let Qin Mei deal with the “cheating couple” while Lin Mengting reaps the benefits!
