Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 171

“Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang Qiang…”

Lin Mengting’s chant-like call almost made Zhang Qiang lose her temper and want to have a good fight with her!

But just before Zhang Qiang’s anger could break her usual rationality, Lin Mengting slowly said, “You’re always ‘not visiting the temple for no reason.’ So, what strange news have you heard this time?”

“Gah—” The feeling of having anger choked back down your throat?

Usually, Zhang Qiang didn’t experience this, but today, she truly understood it!

In an instant, she couldn’t help but shed a tear of sympathy for those she had made feel this way in the past, and she decided to be nicer to them in the future.

But since Lin Mengting had already brought it up, Zhang Qiang didn’t plan to be mysterious and straightforwardly said, “I heard many people sent you flowers and gifts.”

In any era, having too many suitors is not a good thing for a woman.

Especially when these suitors all display a “deep and unwavering love” stance, it inevitably gives rise to rumors like “a beauty is a disaster” and “improper conduct.”

Even if, in reality, the woman never gave these suitors a second glance, she would not be an exception.

The slogan “gender equality” has been shouted for so many years, but the influence of thousands of years of feudal thinking still makes many people instinctively think that if “a group of men is chasing after one woman,” it must be the woman’s fault, not that of the men themselves!

Even some women, influenced by the “male superiority” mentality, inevitably think, “If a woman doesn’t attract bees and butterflies, how could she attract so many suitors?”

…

Of course, if it were just this, it would be fine.

After all, setting aside appearances and looking at the truth, these men were indeed attracted by a woman’s charm, which made them willingly pursue her.

But when it comes to Lin Mengting, the situation turns upside down!

It’s because, from a certain perspective, Zhang Qiang, being an “outsider,” keenly sensed something very wrong about these men’s “pursuit” behavior!

——It seemed like they were using this method to declare to the world that Lin Mengting “belonged” to them!

The concern and worry from her friend made Lin Mengting feel warm inside. “Are you talking about the packages sent to the company by the postal service, which I returned to the capital? Or about the flower shop employees who came every day to deliver red roses to the company after I went on vacation?”

“Wait!” Zhang Qiang couldn’t help but rub her ears, looking incredulous and shocked, with an anger she didn’t even realize, “Strangers from the capital sent you packages?”

If that’s the case, things are getting more and more complicated.

“It wasn’t sent to me, it was sent to the wrong place.” Lin Mengting seriously misled Zhang Qiang. Unfortunately, just as Lin Mengting understood Zhang Qiang’s nature, Zhang Qiang also knew Lin Mengting’s character well.

“If it was really sent to the wrong place, you wouldn’t bring it up specifically!” Zhang Qiang rolled her eyes, “You’ve always been gentle and kind. No matter who offends you, you always smile and don’t hold grudges. In this case, someone actually hates you enough to put you in the spotlight. Tsk, tsk, tsk…”

Zhang Qiang shook her head, confirming her initial suspicion, and couldn’t help but ask, “Tell me, did you dig up their ancestors’ graves or burn their remains in a past life?”

“I’m more curious than you.” Lin Mengting shrugged, looking helpless, “Who knows which little person I offended!”

“It’s not just one little person, it’s countless little people.” Zhang Qiang sighed and asked, “What do you plan to do? If you need my help, just say the word.”

“Only a few people would use such ‘unsophisticated’ tactics.” Lin Mengting squinted her eyes. Honestly, when the front desk girl, Sun Lina, called to inform her about it, she had already guessed the identity and motives of the “flower sender” behind it.

However, in her previous life, Qin Dong had used this “sending flowers” trick once, and after being rejected, he stopped sending flowers.

But Zheng Gang, this so-called “admirer,” had never done such a thing.

So, in this life, why did both of them use this tactic at the same time?

The truth hidden behind this was quite intriguing.

Unfortunately, Lin Mengting’s curiosity was short-lived and she quickly extinguished it.

Nothing more, because what comes after curiosity? Interest!

Once you find someone “interesting,” you might betray your own intentions, doing things you regret, leading to an “irreversible mistake”!

“For them?” Lin Mengting sneered, not minding letting Zhang Qiang see her “cold-hearted” side, or rather her “indifference.” “In the past, they were just strangers to me, and they will remain the same in the future.”

“You’re…” As a daughter of a noble family, Zhang Qiang couldn’t miss the change in Lin Mengting. This change cleared away her hidden anxiety and frustration, replacing them with excitement and joy Truly my good friend! Good sister!! This is exactly how you should deal with those who push their luck!

——It’s not that I fear you being cold-hearted, but I fear you’re too kind-hearted, constantly wronging yourself, making “indecisive” moves, letting others cling to you, leading to irreversible consequences!

“Are you planning to let things take their course?”

“What’s the point of arguing with them?” Lin Mengting chuckled, “If I make a move, it might only fuel their determination!”

Such a waste of time and energy, and risk of being stuck with “clingy people,” she wouldn’t want to do that!
