Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 157

“Could it be that you two have that so-called ‘true love’?”

As she asked this, Xu Meili couldn’t help but give Zheng Gang a look of disdain.

If he had “true love,” yet pretended to be infatuated with Lin Mengting, that would make him a major “scumbag.”

“You’re overthinking.” This time, Zheng Gang gave Xu Meili a complex look, one that suggested there was more to the story than he was willing to share.

The past pain and struggles were things he didn’t want to bring up again, especially not in front of a “reborn” woman like Xu Meili.

“Whether in the past or now, my heart belongs only to Lin Mengting.”

Zheng Gang’s gaze turned hazy and unfocused, as if he were recalling unpleasant memories, feeling a deep hatred and frustration. Even though Lin Mengting had rejected him in both lives, he remained unwavering in his feelings.

In his previous life, he could only watch as Lin Mengting and that “second-generation” heir grew to love each other, silently nursing his wounds in the background.

But in this life, since Lin Mengting didn’t come to work at Wanda Company as she did in his memories, severing her chances of meeting that disguised “second-generation” heir, did this mean his rebirth could break some “rules”?

For instance, successfully marrying Lin Mengting?

…

“But why did Lin Mengting suddenly go to work at Hongxing Company?”

“Isn’t that normal?!” Xu Meili almost rolled her eyes, showing her disdain for Zheng Gang’s relentless questioning.

They had already discussed this matter countless times; there was no need to rehash it.

“No!” Zheng Gang shook his head, pulling his scattered thoughts back together.

No matter what, before his “dream” came true, he needed to keep striving.

“Do you think just any random person can get into Hongxing Company?”

When they first reincarnated, they had considered Hongxing Company.

——Although Wanda Company was in dire need and promised rich rewards for hard work, they didn’t plan to work for someone else forever. They just needed a stepping stone to accumulate their initial capital.

So, should they choose the company with no backing, Wanda, or the well-connected Hongxing?

This was something even a “simpleton” could figure out.

However, Hongxing Company’s first hiring requirement was a fresh university graduate or an experienced employee.

——Even though they were reborn with extensive logistics experience, they had no way to prove it.

Unless they wanted to arouse suspicion and end up in some “lab” as guinea pigs.

Moreover, Zheng Gang was only 26 with a college degree, and Xu Meili was 28 with only a high school diploma.

How could they get a job at Hongxing Company?

“But Lin Mengting got in.” Despite Xu Meili’s indifferent expression, the envy and jealousy in her eyes were clear to Zheng Gang.

“She’s lucky.”

Even though Xu Meili hated to admit it, the harsh reality was undeniable.

“Yeah, luck…” Zheng Gang sighed. If it weren’t for this, why would he be “chasing Lin Mengting” so hard after being reborn?

It wasn’t just about fulfilling a dream from both lives; it was more about witnessing Lin Mengting being constantly helped by “benefactors,” soaring to great heights, and being rumored to have a “blessed fate”!

——Marrying Lin Mengting would mean benefiting from her “benefactor luck” granted by the heavens, achieving a dramatic “triple jump” in his life!

Who wouldn’t want such a good thing?

…

Xu Meili slightly lowered her gaze, hiding the ridicule and scorn in her eyes.

Good luck?

Who wouldn’t want that?

Unfortunately, she had always been the type who, if she couldn’t get something, would destroy it!

…

Do you really think today’s “advice” from Xu Meili was simply because she didn’t want to see Zheng Gang fall into a so-called “obsession” and lose the “confidence” and “strategic foresight” a reborn person should have?

Do you really think Xu Meili’s rare “kindness” was solely for their alliance and the unspoken love she had never expressed?

You’re thinking too much!

For someone like Xu Meili, who possessed a “keen and clever mind,” her every word couldn’t be trusted by even her parents. Could she have such “pure” intentions?

It was all because Xu Meili didn’t want the “game” to end too quickly.

To put it simply, Zheng Gang’s “unwavering” pursuit of Lin Mengting had seriously hit Xu Meili’s “soft spot,” pushing her towards a “twisted” direction.

——It wasn’t just about “hating out of love,” but a ruthless scheme to send both Lin Mengting and Zheng Gang to hell!

Zheng Gang and Xu Meili both had the foresight of the world’s changes over the next decades. If Xu Meili really harbored malicious intent, her actions would eventually be noticed by Zheng Gang, turning him into a dangerous adversary.

That would be truly counterproductive.

After all, Xu Meili had decided that this rebirth, she would find a “rich” husband and live the “loving couple with many children” life she had always dreamed of.

Therefore, it was essential to keep Zheng Gang entangled with Lin Mengting.

This way, it would not only wear down Zheng Gang’s unique “sharpness” and “ambition” as a reborn person but also frustrate Lin Mengting.

——A man with “reborn” knowledge and a woman with enviable “benefactor luck” were not easily predictable in their struggle.

If not, why would Xu Meili subtly implant ideas of “marrying rich and handsome men” in Lin Mengting’s mind during their chats, effectively excluding Zheng Gang as a “potential” candidate?

At the same time, she would subtly praise Lin Mengting’s virtues in front of Zheng Gang, reigniting his fighting spirit whenever he felt discouraged?

It was all to ensure they both suffered, allowing her to reap the benefits later!
