Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 180

At that moment, Lin Mengting and Yu Fengqing’s thoughts strangely aligned, both thinking about the topic of “Spring Festival travel experiences.”

Lin Mengting’s mind wandered, but she instinctively answered, “A little over three hours.”

“Then you’ll arrive at the airport around one in the afternoon,” Yu Fengqing replied without hesitation. “I’ll have your dad pick you up tomorrow. Call him as soon as you get off the plane.”

“Isn’t Dad working tomorrow? M City isn’t far from home. I can just take the last bus,” Lin Mengting replied, half-amused. She hadn’t expected that, after two lifetimes, she would enjoy the treatment of being picked up by her parents like a little kid.

“Do you know what time the last bus leaves M City?” Yu Fengqing asked incredulously. “Or are you planning to stay at the station with several suitcases?”

The emphasis on “several suitcases” made Lin Mengting touch her nose and laugh sheepishly. “Mom, you’re amazing! You guessed that I’m bringing two suitcases!”

“Only two?” Yu Fengqing clearly didn’t believe her. After all, nearly every month, Lin Mengting would send one or two huge packages home. No one knew Lin Mengting’s habit of “overspending” better than her mother.

“Really!” Unfortunately, Lin Mengting’s words lacked conviction.

Yu Fengqing paused, deciding not to argue further. She’d see for herself when Lin Mengting got home. But she wasn’t about to let her daughter struggle with heavy luggage on a crowded bus, worrying about her suitcases being stolen.

“Even if it’s just two, do you think you can handle them by yourself?”

“Of course!” Lin Mengting replied confidently. She thought she could easily manage two suitcases and keep an eye on them during the ride. What could be so difficult?

Clearly, having not experienced the reality of “buses speeding on mountain roads” or the “pain of luggage being switched” in her previous and current life, Lin Mengting was a bit naive.

Yu Fengqing “…”

How had this naive girl survived in the chaotic M City and managed to impress influential people? It seemed unbelievable!

Was it true that “fools are favored by the heavens”?

…

No matter how eloquently Lin Mengting argued, once Yu Fengqing had made up her mind, there was no changing it.

As expected, the next day, when Lin Mengting got off the plane at 130 PM, she received a call from her father, Lin Yimin.

“Tingting, are you off the plane? We’re waiting for you at the exit.”

“Oh.” Lin Mengting replied sweetly, her delight and excitement clear in her voice.

Who wouldn’t want to be pampered and cared for by their parents? Even after two lifetimes, Lin Mengting was no exception.

“Dad, wait for me three minutes.”

…

Three minutes?

Even the typically carefree Lin Yimin couldn’t help but sigh, feeling his worries resurface.

Lin Mengting had always been obedient and sensible, but she also had the nickname “scatterbrain,” indicating her carefree nature.

Yet, in less than a year in M City, she had become so “meticulous” and almost “rigid” in her habits.

Who could believe she hadn’t faced significant challenges and hardships?

…

Carrying a small bag and dragging two suitcases, Lin Mengting spotted her father among the crowd at the exit.

“Dad!”

Instantly, tears welled up in Lin Mengting’s eyes, her emotions surging.

In her previous life, every time she saw Lin Yimin after a few years, she deeply understood the phrase “time waits for no one.”

Now, seeing her father, who was only in his forties and still looked sharp and capable, she felt a mix of emotions and a tinge of fear of returning home.

But before she could process these feelings, she was stunned to see Yu Fengqing at the airport, “Mom?!”

Today, Yu Fengqing wore a light purple embroidered down jacket, a light brown scarf, and her slightly curled hair draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of charm.

Her smile was brighter and more dazzling than the sun.

Just standing casually beside Lin Yimin, they looked like a perfectly matched couple with extraordinary presence.

…

This wasn’t something that could be explained by the saying “clothes make the person.”

In both her past and present lives, the change in Lin Yimin and Yu Fengqing’s demeanor came from Lin Mengting’s “transformation” or, more accurately, her exceptional achievements.

Their pride in Lin Mengting constantly uplifted them. Coupled with others’ admiration and a hint of envy, it made them feel as if they had suddenly become younger, more vibrant, and this reflected in their appearance.

Parental love for their children and children’s love for their parents were truly evident here.
