Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 149

Lin Mengting “…”

Did she desecrate the Xu family’s ancestral graves in a past life? Or did she grind their bones to dust?!

How much hatred? How deep a grudge?

In both her past and present lives, she’s been schemed against like this!

It’s truly baffling!!

“Miss Xu, thank you for your kindness.”

A simple, casual thank you, but for some reason, it made Xu Meili on the other end of the line feel a sense of impending doom, as if her hidden intentions had been seen through, and an unexpected event was about to unfold.

“However, I already have a boyfriend.”

Outside, the sky was clear, but Xu Meili felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her, leaving her in a daze. Her usually calm and clear mind became muddled, and she subconsciously screamed, “Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend? Since when? How come I didn’t know?!”

“Miss Xu, your words are quite confusing…”

Lin Mengting’s cool and indifferent voice was like a bucket of ice water poured over Xu Meili, freezing her to the core. Her mind, which had turned into mush, finally regained some clarity.

It was only then that Xu Meili realized the foolish mistake she had almost made!

Just a bit more, and she would have exposed herself in front of Lin Mengting!

“Tingting, I just didn’t expect that in less than two months, you would suddenly have a boyfriend.” Xu Meili gripped the phone tightly, and her hands clenched into fists, her long nails digging into her palms to remind herself not to slip up in front of Lin Mengting again!

“I remember you said that you didn’t plan to date for the next few years and wanted to focus on work.” As she said this, Xu Meili suddenly sighed deeply and in a tone that was both appreciative and regretful, she added, “But it’s good that you think this way now. I always believed that the ‘division of labor’ between men and women in society has its essential value. And sayings like ‘men are for external affairs, women for internal affairs’ shouldn’t be dismissed just because some ‘extreme feminists’ shout that ‘women must achieve their own survival value and absolutely cannot rely on men’.”

“The inherent differences between men and women are not so easily erased. You are still young and don’t know how tough and arduous the road is for a woman who wants to surpass many men and ultimately achieve respected success in her career! But in reality, how many successful career women truly live a happy life?”

【In her previous life, she was one of those women who, knowing the dangers, still forged ahead to achieve her ‘career’, neglecting her lifelong matters. But what happened later? Despite fighting hard for decades, her achievements were far less than those of her male peers!】

【And those men had successful careers, happy marriages, and children, living enviable lives. But her life was cold and lonely every time she returned home. When she tried to find a good match again, she found only unsuitable choices around her.】

【Many people advised her to ‘settle’, but why should she? After struggling for so many years, missing the best years of her life, should she now settle for a man she would have never considered and also shoulder the financial burden of his children?!】

…

Lin Mengting “…”

She really knows how to flatter herself!

In her past life, Xu Meili had interfered in the marriage of a local man 13 years her senior with a 10-year-old daughter for the sake of ‘household registration’, becoming a despised home-wrecking stepmother!

Back then, Lin Mengting had naively believed that Xu Meili, feeling unsatisfied due to her age, poor looks, and low education, had no choice but to make this decision.

But now, it seems that wasn’t entirely the case!

After all, although the man wasn’t handsome, he had a scholarly and refined demeanor. To a ‘discerning’ girl like Xu Meili, he was a treasure.

Of course, the most important thing was that he had considerable wealth!

— Four plots of land, two houses, and one ancestral home!

Ten years later, when real estate became the most valuable investment, this local man became a billionaire just from his land and properties!

“Tingting, with your looks and talent, you don’t need to waste your time and energy on useless work. Just dress up beautifully every day, find a wealthy and handsome man to marry, and let him take care of you. You can live a leisurely and carefree life as a rich wife.”

【Who doesn’t like to hear pleasant words? Especially those with a certain life philosophy, which can make people think deeply and unknowingly drop their guard, turning into trust and reliance.】

【At this point, who wouldn’t believe what a ‘good sister’ like her says?】

【For instance, that Lin Mengting wouldn’t marry anyone but a tall, rich, and handsome man, making her a ‘vain’ girl; or that Lin Mengting was a typical ‘spendthrift’, spending all her money on grooming…】

Lin Mengting’s eyes flashed, and she felt a sense of understanding.

In a way, Xu Meili’s plan had indeed worked. At least in her past life, her colleagues believed that she wouldn’t marry anyone but a tall, rich, and handsome man and looked down on any ‘potential’.

As for being a ‘spendthrift’?

Many people didn’t believe that, but at some point, everyone started jokingly calling her ‘rich lady’ when they saw her.

Of course, this reinforced the idea that she wouldn’t marry anyone but a tall, rich, and handsome man.

After all, there weren’t many men who could ignore that their wife was far wealthier than them while also being criticized for being a ‘freeloader’ and still maintain a loving relationship!

Thus, ‘tall, rich, and handsome’ and ‘rich and beautiful’ were a perfect match!

The story of a ‘sparrow becoming a phoenix’ exists only in novels and dramas!
