Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 138

In a place Lin Mengting didn’t notice, Wang Qin’s lips curved into a cunning smile.

Actually, even though Qin Mei and Qin Dong, the siblings, had many schemes, they were still not skilled enough to fool the Lin family, who were already wary and cautious of them. Moreover, with Lin Mengting’s “mind-reading” ability, she didn’t need to worry too much about the trouble brought by Qin Mei and Qin Dong.

However, in Wang Qin’s opinion, Sun Weiqi was indeed a good marriage candidate for Lin Mengting. In the past, Wang Qin had thought about matching Lin Mengting and Sun Weiqi. Especially since Qin Mei and Qin Dong frequently harassed Lin Mengting, and even Lin Mengting’s so-called “peers” kept trying to win her favor. Unfortunately, these people only had disgusting greed, ambition, and scheming in their eyes, but no love for Lin Mengting.

Even though these people wouldn’t significantly impact Lin Mengting’s life, living in the world means inevitably being influenced by certain rules and restrictions. Who could guarantee that over time, Lin Mengting’s pure reputation wouldn’t be affected by these random “rotten suitors”? If that happened, it would be too late to regret it!

However, Sun Weiqi’s status was too high. Even though the Sun family never emphasized matching families of equal status, Lin Mengting indeed wasn’t a match for Sun Weiqi. Now that Sun Weiqi showed interest in Lin Mengting, how could Wang Qin resist giving him a push?

Even if Lin Mengting didn’t fall for Sun Weiqi, being pursued by him would bring her certain advantages due to his status. These benefits could bring Lin Mengting countless opportunities. Who could say she wouldn’t enter the elite circle and find a lifelong partner through Sun Weiqi?

This was truly a win-win situation!

Fortunately, Lin Mengting didn’t know what Wang Qin was thinking. Otherwise, she might have sighed again. Despite living a second life, she was still no match for Wang Qin, who had risen to the position of deputy director of the tax bureau in S City within a few decades.

“Tingting.”

As expected, standing outside the door was Sun Weiqi, the man who had just had a confrontation with Lin Mengting. Without hesitation, Lin Mengting’s smile disappeared, and she coldly reminded him, “Mr. Sun, it’s our first meeting. Please call me Miss Lin.”

“Tingting, why be so distant?” Sun Weiqi said, blinking to signal Lin Mengting to look behind him. Sure enough, Wang Qin, who should have been busy in the kitchen, was watching them with a “spectator” look. The most frustrating part was Wang Qin’s teasing smile and the hidden “meaning” in her eyes!

It was almost as if she was urging Lin Mengting to go for it and not to be afraid. Lin Mengting felt helpless, thinking her earlier efforts to clarify things had been in vain. But would Lin Mengting easily fall into this trap?

Leading Sun Weiqi to the sofa and making tea for him, Lin Mengting chose a seat at a safe distance from him, showing she wasn’t easily intimidated.

For Lin Mengting, being polite was the best approach, especially since Wang Qin’s words hinted at something she needed to consider. Why make unnecessary enemies, especially someone as influential as Sun Weiqi?

For someone like Sun Weiqi, Lin Mengting always believed in being straightforward. After all, she knew she wasn’t a match for these “elite” people in terms of scheming, no matter how many lives she had lived.

“Mr. Sun, there are many young and beautiful girls who would love to win your heart. Why joke with someone like me?”

“But they are not you,” Sun Weiqi said seriously. Even though he had never been in a relationship and had little interaction with women outside his family, as a respected “king of soldiers,” he had both high intelligence and “emotional intelligence.”

Despite needing quotation marks around “emotional intelligence,” Sun Weiqi was confident that it was hard to find someone as perceptive as him. In their few encounters, he had noticed Lin Mengting’s beauty, intelligence, and unique charm. Even though he prided himself on being “heart of steel,” he had to admit that he was “tempted.”

Even though this realization came quickly, from the bookstore to his home, the feeling of love was unpredictable. He believed in acting quickly and decisively.

He had set his sights on Lin Mengting and wouldn’t allow her to avoid or escape, nor let such an interesting and charming girl fall into someone else’s hands!
