Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 150

“Sorry, Miss Xu, I have another call coming in.”

Since she couldn’t cut off these persistent reborn individuals’ harassment at the root, listening to their schemes during work breaks turned out to be a relaxing way to adjust her mind.

Just imagine, these reborn people putting so much effort into plotting against her, only for her to avoid their traps intentionally or unintentionally!

— The feeling of easily turning the tables on them was truly satisfying!

“Alright!” Xu Meili, who had been enthusiastically promoting her ideas, sighed subtly, organizing her turbulent thoughts. “Next time, bring your boyfriend over for us to see, so we can help you judge. You’re still young and might fall for someone untrustworthy.”

“Maybe,” Lin Mengting replied casually. She truly didn’t know how to react to Xu Meili’s “enthusiasm.”

…

The busy tone from the phone made Xu Meili’s lips press into a straight line, and the smile on her face vanished without a trace.

It was as if the smile had never been there.

During this time, Zheng Gang, who had been sitting beside Xu Meili, held his breath and clenched his palms tightly, not daring to move, fearing Lin Mengting might detect something unusual. Once the call ended, he couldn’t hide his anxiety and asked, “How did it go? Does Lin Mengting really have a boyfriend?!”

“You heard it yourself just now!” Xu Meili sneered, finding Zheng Gang’s anxious face increasingly unpleasant, making her once again doubt her judgment.

How did she ever fall for such a man back then?

Fortunately, heaven gave her another chance. This time, she finally saw Zheng Gang’s true nature clearly from a bystander’s perspective and let go of that inexplicable love!

“If I were you, I’d have clung to Lin Mengting shamelessly long ago!”

What’s with all the “boiling a frog slowly” and “taking advantage of proximity”? All nonsense!

At his age, still using these methods to pursue someone? No wonder he couldn’t win Lin Mengting over in two lifetimes!

“No! Impossible!!”

Zheng Gang didn’t notice Xu Meili’s expression. He looked down, shocked and disbelieving, mixed with a fear and anxiety he himself didn’t realize.

“Clearly, in the previous life… this shouldn’t have happened… you must have misheard! Yes, you must have misheard!!”

Xu Meili lazily leaned against the wall, arms crossed, looking at the “frantic” Zheng Gang with a mocking and sarcastic smile.

Her look was like a thunderbolt to Zheng Gang’s ears, like a brick smashing his head, leaving him dazed and confused. His usual calm and rational emotions were completely gone.

In his heart and eyes, only one thought remained Everything was Xu Meili’s fault!

“If it weren’t for you constantly calling Lin Mengting and filling her ears with nonsense like ‘marry a tall, rich, and handsome man while you’re still young and beautiful’, how would she suddenly ‘wake up’ and find a boyfriend?!”

“Hah!” Xu Meili sneered, never feeling as clear as now that Zheng Gang was not a “qualified” man.

The most basic trait of a qualified man is — responsibility!

Blaming others, shirking responsibility, all indicate fear of admitting defeat to life and fate!

“It’s mid-January now. From early September until now, I’ve known Lin Mengting for over four months,” Xu Meili said calmly. “When I first met Lin Mengting, I told her ‘marry a tall, rich, and handsome man’. Back then, you not only agreed but also subtly encouraged me to promote the idea that ‘potential candidates’ are also ‘tall, rich, and handsome’. And now that Lin Mengting has really found a ‘tall, rich, and handsome’ guy, you’re regretful? If you knew this would happen, what were you doing then? I’ve told you before, pursuing a girl isn’t as simple as you think! If you just wait for others to ‘play the drums’ while you silently make efforts on the side without expressing your feelings, making her feel your sincerity, then even after three to five years, your relationship with Lin Mengting won’t progress! Living two lifetimes didn’t make you more shrewd and decisive. Instead, you lost the vigor and drive that young people should have! If you continue like this, expect to live a mediocre life as you did in the previous life!”

…

“Stop talking!”

Zheng Gang’s face turned black as coal, eyes red with a frightening and terrifying rage.

Unfortunately, Xu Meili was unafraid.

Instead, she continued to look at Zheng Gang with disdain and contempt, speaking slowly, “With your current state, you’re not even worthy to carry Lin Mengting’s shoes, let alone be her boyfriend! Dream on!!”

“Get lost!!”

Zheng Gang clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, gritting his teeth as he growled, “My affairs are none of your business!”

“Hah!” As if she had the time to care about your trivial matters!

In the end, Xu Meili swallowed her last words, not provoking Zheng Gang further.

Returning to her room in a carefree manner, Xu Meili finally let herself collapse on the floor.

Despite the cold January weather, Xu Meili felt as exhausted and drained as if she had run ten laps around the neighborhood!

The sweat she had been trying to hold back finally flowed freely, mixing with the sweat already trickling down her back. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, her calm and rational facade fading, revealing her hidden confusion and fear.

— Just now, she really thought Zheng Gang might lash out at her!

“Indeed, as the saying goes, ‘Even a rabbit bites when cornered’. When an honest person gets angry, it’s truly shocking and unbearable.”

Xu Meili let out a sigh, wiped away her sweat, but a strange smile appeared on her lips. “They say that seemingly honest people can be terrifyingly sinister when they decide to do evil.”

Either succumb to silence or explode in silence?

It’s not that simple!

“Crazy?”

Her murmured words were carried away by a sudden cold wind, leaving no trace.
