Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 170

If, after experiencing such a tragic life, Qin Mei was also fortunate to receive Heaven’s “favor” and was reborn, how would she view the mastermind behind all of this—Qin Dong?

Family turning into enemies can happen in an instant!

…

“Is that so?!” After a long time, Qin Mei finally seemed to find her voice again and said, “Even if Lin Mengting has some ‘strange’ luck, so what? I don’t need to beg her, so I don’t have to please her.”

In fact, who would truly refuse to hold onto a powerful connection? Especially when this connection was right within reach, and all it took was a stretch of the hand to grab it!

But because of the many schemes and traps aimed at Lin Mengting in the past, Qin Mei herself couldn’t reconcile with her. So how could she now expect an 18-year-old girl like Lin Mengting to forgive a 30-year-old woman like her with a smile?

“As for the past things…” Qin Mei sighed. Originally, she didn’t plan to “confess” this to Qin Dong today, but finding another suitable opportunity like today would be really difficult.

“I have known Lin Mengting for a long time, and although my understanding of her isn’t perfect, I know her somewhat. And this little understanding tells me that Lin Mengting is not a vengeful person.”

Of course, this all stemmed from the fact that Qin Mei’s schemes against Lin Mengting were only superficial and didn’t truly cross the line to do something unforgivable, like throwing acid or hiring someone to kill.

“As long as I sincerely apologize to her and, if necessary, leverage the years of neighborly relations between our parents and Uncle Lin and Aunt Yu, even if Lin Mengting still can’t forgive me, she wouldn’t go out of her way to plot against me.”

And that was enough.

From then on, they just needed to maintain a not-too-distant “neighborly” relationship.

As time passed and things changed, who could guarantee that this so-called “neighbor” wouldn’t transform into the saying “a close neighbor is better than a distant relative”?

“Sister, have you made up your mind?” Qin Dong took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his chest. Only his slightly trembling voice betrayed his true feelings at that moment.

Qin Mei didn’t directly answer Qin Dong’s question. Instead, she said, “Since I came home in November, I haven’t been able to sleep well. When I lie in bed, my mind just starts running…”

Many things in this world can’t withstand careful thought.

Especially for a smart and perceptive girl like Qin Mei. In just two months, she had meticulously reconsidered everything from the past, especially the events of that year in S City that had overturned her entire life. Finally, she realized she had been wrong from the beginning!

…

Qin Dong “…”

Everything deviated from the expected track!

So, what was the meaning of his “rebirth”?!

…

Lin Mengting didn’t know about Qin Dong’s self-doubt and self-loathing or Qin Mei’s “sudden realization.” Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.

All because Lin Mengting never saw herself as too important.

Just like in her previous life, surrounded by many “reborn” enemies, Lin Mengting always felt her life was ordinary, just a white-collar worker in the city working hard step by step.

——To experience the joy of harvest in autumn, you must sow diligently in spring, work through the sun and rain in summer, and strive in winter despite the cold wind and snow.

For Lin Mengting in her previous life, the “scale of effort and reward” occasionally tipped out of balance, but most of the time, if she put in ten parts of effort, she would receive ten parts of reward.

Not one part more, not one part less.

In this life, blessed by Heaven, she not only got the golden opportunity of rebirth but also the ability to read the minds of those “reborn” with malice towards her. How could Lin Mengting waste this precious time on revenge against these “reborn” enemies?

Even strictly speaking, in her previous life, without the schemes and traps of these “reborn” people, Lin Mengting would have already achieved admired success. So what?

Many things in this world, only after truly experiencing them, can you, when encountering them again, solve them easily and perfectly, in a way that crushes others’ confidence and pride!

Simply put, if people don’t suffer, how will they appreciate good fortune? Without stumbling a few times and getting hurt, how would they know what things they absolutely shouldn’t do?

…

“Oh~” Even through the thin telephone line, Zhang Qiang’s teasing and joking voice, paired with her bold behavior shown only to close friends, clearly appeared before Lin Mengting.

Although this was purely Lin Mengting’s imagination.

“Should I say ‘the young lotus reveals its sharp point, already attracting dragonflies,’ or should I say ‘a young girl from our family has grown up’?” As she spoke, Zhang Qiang suddenly paused, becoming very serious, and added, “Confess and be lenient, resist and be strict.”

“You’re overthinking.” Lin Mengting replied seriously, “We’re close friends who talk about everything. Do you think there’s anything I would purposely hide from you?”

“Come off it!” Zhang Qiang sneered, with a domineering and cool attitude, “A girl like you, just turned 18, stepping into adulthood, can easily be devoured by some ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing.’ You must always be vigilant, especially against those men with a gentle and elegant or handsome and charming appearance. Never let your guard down. Otherwise, if you fall into a trap, do you think I would save you or kick you deeper into the pit?”

Despite her words, Zhang Qiang was already mentally reviewing the honest and upright young men from her family and friends who had the demeanor of ancient gentlemen and weren’t bogged down by family obligations to see if any were suitable for Lin Mengting.

This way, she could achieve the goal of “keeping good things within the family” and continue to be “good friends” with Lin Mengting!
