Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 165

“Qin Mei,” Mrs. Qin said softly, “you are also a doctor. You should know that some doctors like to exaggerate and falsify the patient’s condition.”

Although people often say “Doctors have a heart of parents,” it must be said that with the development of times and the progress of technology, more and more doctors have lost the most basic “bottom line.”

For example, a simple cold that can be cured with a few days of medicine, yet they insist you undergo a full-body check-up and get several days of IV drips.

Or they prescribe the best imported medicine instead of common drugs that would work just as well. They don’t care if using these medicines might make your body resistant to them, or if next time you’ll need even stronger medicine to get better.

Or they use sophisticated machines for conditions that could be treated with simple methods, and these machines are always imported. They don’t care about the damage these check-ups and treatments might cause to your body or how much money you’ll have to spend.

…

“Mom, you don’t need to persuade me anymore,” Qin Mei said slowly. The confusion and helplessness in her eyes were gradually replaced by endless despair.

And deep in her eyes, there was a trace of anger that had never been extinguished.

—The kind of anger that would drag her enemies to hell at all costs, even if it meant mutual destruction, without any regret.

“The child in my belly, can it really…” be removed?!

“Qin Mei!” Although Qin Mei didn’t say it out loud, Mrs. Qin, who had already seen Qin Mei’s hysterical and fierce side many times recently, shivered and asked instinctively, “What are you planning to do?!”

Qin Mei lowered her eyes slightly, making her expression hard to read.

But for some reason, this silent Qin Mei made Mrs. Qin feel as if a poisonous snake, usually calm, had been provoked, exposing its fangs and showing a fierce, terrifying appearance!

After a moment of silence, Qin Mei suddenly looked up. All the confusion, fear, and hesitation in her eyes were gone, replaced by a calmness that hid a powerful, frightening force like the deep ocean without waves.

“Mom, I can’t keep this child.”

This version of Qin Mei was too unfamiliar. Mrs. Qin had never seen her like this before.

So, at this moment, Mrs. Qin didn’t roar as usual, didn’t question angrily, nor did she nag endlessly. She just stared at Qin Mei for a long time, her thoughts drifting.

For a moment, it seemed like she thought a lot, and at the same time, like she thought of nothing.

After a long time, Mrs. Qin asked word by word, “Why?”

“Unknown father,” Qin Mei said calmly, as if it were a trivial matter.

But Mrs. Qin felt like all her strength was suddenly drained from her body, and she staggered. If she hadn’t grabbed the bedpost in time, she might have collapsed to the ground like a heap of mud.

Even so, Mrs. Qin’s face was still very pale, her eyes wide open like copper bells, her chest heaving rapidly, and her finger pointing at Qin Mei trembled uncontrollably.

“You…” Mrs. Qin swallowed hard, “Do you even know what you’re saying?!”

What does “unknown father” mean?

In just a few days, she had relations with many men, and the child conceived during this time is typically from an unknown father!

And under what circumstances can a girl conceive such a child?

Do we even need to think about it?!

Usually, this kind of “promiscuity” happens to other people. Whenever Mrs. Qin heard such news, she would always look at those people with sympathy and pity while feeling proud of Qin Mei and Qin Dong for being “pure.”

—Their children from the Qin family were unmatched by others!

But now, this blatant “slap in the face” situation had appeared before her in an unexpected manner!

“It was an accident,” Qin Mei still lowered her head, not wanting Mrs. Qin to see the hatred and anger flashing in her eyes, “They will pay for it.”

“Nonsense! There aren’t so many accidents in this world!”

Even Mrs. Qin, who always prided herself on being a “cultured person,” never losing her temper like those rough village women, couldn’t help but curse, “Qin Mei, be honest with me. Who plotted against you? I’ll call all the Qin family to cripple them!”

Yes!

Even though the flames of anger burned in her chest, and the last thread of rationality in her mind was hanging by a thread, Mrs. Qin still knew that with Qin Mei’s shrewdness and tactics, if such a thing happened, it must be because someone plotted against her!

As for Qin Mei’s long silence before…

Wait a minute?!

“Qin Mei, you’ve been back for two months. During this period, three men came to visit you in the hospital.”

Until today, Mrs. Qin had always thought her “son-in-law” was that high official, and that the nouveau riche and the playboy were just Qin Mei’s “pursuers.”

But now, combining it with Qin Mei’s reaction today, all the speculations changed instantly.

“You had relations with all three of them…”

Even though she had prepared herself mentally, it was still too difficult for Mrs. Qin to ask this question.

Qin Mei listened calmly and rationally, and at this point, she even nodded to answer Mrs. Qin’s unspoken question, her expression unchanged.

As if having relations with different men every day was nothing to her.

Of course, in some places, such things are indeed not surprising. Especially since Qin Mei was already 30 years old, a fully psychologically and behaviorally independent adult, not a naive minor easily deceived and manipulated.

“You!”

Mrs. Qin almost couldn’t breathe, her vision darkening. She couldn’t believe that her always obedient, sensible, smart, introverted, and proud daughter Qin Mei could do something so rebellious!
