Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 173
“Waaah… waaah…”
After a long silence, Zhang Qiang couldn’t be bothered to say anything else. Instead, she started crying in a particularly sad and pitiful manner.
“Sigh… Xiao Qiang, you…”
There was no denying it, Zhang Qiang had indeed hit Lin Mengting’s soft spot.
—She was soft-hearted, not hard-hearted!
If Zhang Qiang had continued to be forceful and domineering, trying to pressure Lin Mengting, Lin Mengting would definitely have stuck to her evasive tactics.
But now, seeing Zhang Qiang’s retreat, Lin Mengting felt a bit uncomfortable.
“Actually…” Although she knew Zhang Qiang was trying to manipulate her, Lin Mengting didn’t mind. In fact, even if Zhang Qiang hadn’t done this, Lin Mengting had already planned to find a suitable time to tell her everything that had happened.
She just wanted Zhang Qiang to look at her situation as an outsider and help confirm if her judgments and decisions were correct.
“Wait!” Lin Mengting had just started to speak when Zhang Qiang interrupted, looking shocked and disbelieving. “You said that guy named ‘Sun Weiqi’ likes you?!”
“Sun Weiqi, is it the Sun Weiqi I’m thinking of?!”
Wasn’t that guy typically so uninterested in women that people suspected he was either gay or had some kind of undisclosed condition?
How could he suddenly develop feelings for a girl?!
“I must have gotten out of bed on the wrong side today!” Otherwise, how could she be hearing such absurd things!
“I don’t know if the Sun Weiqi I’m talking about is the same Sun Weiqi you’re thinking of.” Lin Mengting’s eyes flickered. It seemed that Sun Weiqi’s identity was more complicated than she had imagined!
Such a person was truly difficult to figure out!
Thinking back to that awkward confession scene, Lin Mengting’s recently relaxed brow furrowed again, and many thoughts flooded her mind.
“You know nothing, and you accepted his confession? How did I never realize you were such a ‘carefree’ girl?!” Zhang Qiang, who had regained her senses, felt that her worries for Lin Mengting were absolutely necessary!
Such a “carefree girl” entering a top-tier wealthy family could easily find herself struggling for years without securing a stable foothold, becoming the subject of people’s idle gossip!
Maybe she should think about how to help Lin Mengting build more connections quickly…
Unaware of Zhang Qiang’s calculations, Lin Mengting held back for a moment, then couldn’t resist rolling her eyes, “What nonsense are you spouting?! When did I ever say that I accepted his confession?!”
“Gah—” Now it was Zhang Qiang’s turn to be horrified!
“You haven’t accepted his confession yet?…”
Recalling the time she had seen Sun Weiqi from afar at a banquet years ago, his aura of “bloodthirsty” energy made people wary, and no one dared to approach within ten feet of him. He seemed completely isolated from the world, and Zhang Qiang couldn’t help but feel a chill down her spine.
If there was one type of person in the world that you should never provoke, it was someone who always acted “indifferent to joy and sorrow,” remaining cold and aloof!
Such people were typically cold-hearted, but once they found something they were willing to devote themselves to, they could become a blazing fire.
—They would either burn themselves out or turn the other party to ashes!
“Why are you so surprised?” Lin Mengting pouted, “At your age of just 18, newly entering adulthood, you could easily be devoured by some ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing.’ You must always stay vigilant. Especially be wary of men who look refined and elegant or handsome and charming. If you fall into a trap, do you think I would save you or push you further in?”
After mimicking Zhang Qiang’s earlier words perfectly, Lin Mengting watched as Zhang Qiang, too shocked to speak, slowly said, “Isn’t this what you said?”
Zhang Qiang “…” Do you have to mimic everything I say?
Don’t take me for a naive three-year-old, okay?
I’m not taking the blame for this!
Who knows how Sun Weiqi, such an untouchable person, would react if he found out I had said these things!
Wiping her face, Zhang Qiang could only push Lin Mengting towards “the pit named Sun Weiqi” with the mindset of “better you than me!”
Did she really think Zhang Qiang didn’t notice Lin Mengting’s fondness for him? Hmph!
Bad matchmaking brings bad luck; she still hoped to find a “prince” who would treat her like a queen!
…
Although thinking this, Zhang Qiang couldn’t help but ask, “Tingting, tell me honestly, what are your thoughts? Are you really considering accepting his pursuit?”
“What do you think?” Lin Mengting casually tossed the question back to Zhang Qiang. Before Zhang Qiang could respond, she added, “I was planning to seriously consider it. But since you mentioned his unusual background, then…”
“No!” Zhang Qiang cried out in distress, interrupting Lin Mengting.
“Xiao Qiang? Qiang Qiang?”
Lin Mengting was exasperated. Fortunately, having been reborn and blessed with the ability to read the thoughts of those who had ill intentions towards her, she had learned to remain calm in any situation. Otherwise, she would have been scared to death by Zhang Qiang’s sudden outcry.
“What’s wrong with you now?”
“Tingting, listen to me.” Zhang Qiang pressed hard on her palm and took several deep breaths to calm her racing heart, “In front of love, height, education, looks, status, background, and age are all irrelevant!”
“You said, in front of love!”
The word “love” was emphasized by Lin Mengting, looking as if she would definitely punish Zhang Qiang if she were in front of her!
