Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 153

“You don’t know the saying ‘no phoenix, no waves’? When you have time, read more books.”

Sun Weiqi thought for a moment and decided to share the information he had discovered with Old Li. After all, no matter what, Old Li was his “sworn brother.” He couldn’t just watch Old Li be deceived.

“She has an illegitimate child with a duke from another country.”

An illegitimate child? Under what circumstances would someone have an illegitimate child? It must be when the other party is already married, and she’s the mistress, lover, or concubine!

“Are you kidding me?!” Old Li felt like he must not be fully awake today; otherwise, how could he hear such shocking news!

Sun Weiqi glanced at Old Li but decided to stay silent. As someone who never spoke ill of others behind their backs, saying this was already a big deal because of their decades of friendship. He didn’t intend to say more.

Old Li also realized he had asked a “silly question.” Just like how Sun Weiqi knew Old Li’s goofy nature, Old Li knew that Sun Weiqi was a man of his word. He wouldn’t say something unless he was absolutely sure about it.

But Old Li still found it hard to accept. “The Yan family girl was only 16 when she went to study abroad, right?”

Now, she was 20. In just four short years, she had earned a master’s degree from X University, a true “genius” and “scholar”! Such a studious girl, could she really become a mistress and even have an illegitimate child?

This! This!! It was too shocking!

Sun Weiqi remained silent, while Old Li couldn’t stop murmuring to himself, “What is she after?”

Money? Power? Status? The Yan family was in politics and always advocated for “marriages between officials and businessmen.” The family’s wealth was enough for generations to live a luxurious life without working.

In such circumstances, how could they lack those things? “Could it really be ‘true love’ that some young girls pursue nowadays?!” After much thought, Old Li reached this conclusion.

True love? Is this what young girls nowadays pursue?!

Although Sun Weiqi still didn’t look up, he silently remembered this phrase and decided to work hard on it after finishing this mission. He wanted Lin Mengting to understand his sincere heart and agree to be his girlfriend and fiancée as soon as possible!

“Forget it!” Old Li shrugged and quickly dismissed the unwarranted regret and emotion in his heart. “You’re right; I can’t afford such a girl.”

As special forces soldiers, they were rarely home all year round. Marrying such an “unfaithful” wife was just asking for trouble!

Meanwhile, Lin Mengting, who was sitting in front of her computer, typing away, suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She paused and glanced around with her peripheral vision.

Qian Zhiyuan, the “reborn man,” was chatting with a client. Manager Ding, the “superior,” was standing up, looking out the transparent glass window while on his phone.

——So, what was that “ominous” feeling just now?!

After thinking for a while but still not figuring it out, Lin Mengting decided to ignore it, waiting for the day it would “naturally” come.

Just then, the phone on her desk rang.

“My delivery?!” Lin Mengting raised an eyebrow in surprise. She didn’t think anyone would send her a package without notifying her first! Wait, there was someone who might do such a thing!

Sure enough, when Lin Mengting reached the front desk, she saw the postal worker holding a two-foot-square package. A quick glance showed the glaring “Capital City” on the delivery slip, making its presence known.

Even though the sender’s name was blank, it didn’t matter.

“This package isn’t mine.” Lin Mengting smiled, not intending to sign for it, nor was she curious about its contents. “Please return it to the sender.”

She paused and kindly added, “It’s best to call the sender and remind them not to send it to the wrong address next time to avoid causing unnecessary anxiety for the intended recipient.”

The young worker was momentarily stunned but quickly checked the address and reminded her, “Miss Lin, it is indeed your package.”

“I didn’t order anything.” Lin Mengting waved her hand, refusing this “surprise.”

Sometimes, “surprises” only bring “shock,” not “joy”!

Especially since this “surprise” came from Qin Dong, who was full of malice towards her!

Yes, even though Qin Dong had deliberately blurred the address and hadn’t sent another “abusive” email to Lin Mengting for half a month, sending such a package from the “Capital City” made his intentions clear.

Given this, how could Lin Mengting “fall for it”?!

The staff looked helpless, clearly facing such a situation for the first time. He instinctively advised, “It’s just a delivery. You can sign for it, open it, and if it’s not yours, return it.”

“How could that work?!” Lin Mengting replied without thinking. “Who knows what’s inside? If it involves privacy, opening it would cause a lot of trouble! Doesn’t your postal service often handle ‘return to sender’ mail? Just do the same with this package!”

…

Helplessly, the worker left with the package, looking troubled.

…

“No signature? How could it be unsigned? The address is correct! No mistake!! Aye! I just wanted to give my girlfriend a ‘surprise’! You’re a man; you should understand!! No, no, it can’t be returned! Try delivering it again tomorrow. Make sure Lin Mengting gets it! If all else fails, someone else can sign for it. Just make sure it gets to Lin Mengting!”
