Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 182

However, when it came to pregnant women, Lin Mengting couldn’t help but think of Qin Mei.

Just as she was about to gossip with Yu Fengqing about Qin Mei, she saw a police car appear in her sight.

Lin Yimin, who was carrying two suitcases, walked straight to the car, opened the trunk, and bent down to put the suitcases inside.

Seeing this, Lin Mengting quickly pushed aside her wandering thoughts, grabbed Yu Fengqing’s arm, and hurried forward, saying anxiously, “Dad, wait! The suitcases are heavy. Let Mom and me help you.”

“No need. Two suitcases, no need for you two to help!” Lin Yimin said without looking back and picked up the first suitcase without hesitation.

“Ouch!” Even though he had guessed the suitcases were heavy when dragging them, it was only when he tried to lift them into the car that Lin Yimin truly felt how terrifyingly heavy they were.

Fortunately, even after leaving the army and transferring to the police department, Lin Yimin never stopped exercising. Otherwise, despite Lin Mengting’s warning, he might have dropped the suitcase on his foot or strained his back!

Yu Fengqing raised her eyebrows and pulled the rushing Lin Mengting back with a slight tug of her arm, “Let your dad carry them. He’s a man; he should do the heavy lifting.”

Lin Yimin “…”

So bitter!

So heart-wrenching!

Seizing the right moment, Lin Mengting leaned closer to Yu Fengqing and whispered, “Mom, Dad is usually so strict and inflexible. How come he knows to be flexible today?”

In Lin Mengting’s memory, her dad was the kind of person who valued national property more than his own life!

Yu Fengqing gave Lin Mengting a sideways glance and emphasized, “Your dad is just being dutiful.”

“Oh.” Lin Mengting blinked, appearing obedient, but asked, “Aren’t you afraid of what people will say?”

“Don’t worry, no one will say anything.” Yu Fengqing patted Lin Mengting’s hand, comforting her slightly, and then pulled her into the car. After closing the door, she said meaningfully, “People who take favors can’t speak ill.”

So that’s how it is!

Lin Mengting nodded, having anticipated this. When buying items, she had specifically chosen things that would make great gifts.

Therefore, at this moment, she didn’t bother to hide it and said directly, “That’s good.”

In China, interpersonal relationships are important. Some items for maintaining relationships are necessary.

Yu Fengqing sighed, looking at Lin Mengting with complex emotions and pity, “Tingting, be honest with me. Have you had a hard time this past year? Has anyone bullied you at work or in life?”

Maybe some people are naturally high in both emotional and intellectual intelligence, but Lin Mengting was not one of them.

And for Lin Mengting, someone who was naive and sweet, to understand the seemingly simple but complex social interactions, she must have gone through many hardships and difficulties!

Lin Mengting smiled calmly and said, “Mom, I’ve been living with Uncle and Aunt. They take good care of me, and Sister Ying and Brother Jun treat me well too.”

“As for work?” Lin Mengting straightened her back and lifted her chin slightly, no longer hiding her pride and satisfaction, “Didn’t I tell you? I earn nearly twenty thousand yuan a month, including salary, bonuses, and commissions! And I don’t have to work from nine to five like others. I handle things at the company when needed and go home early to do my own things when I’m free. It’s very flexible!”

“I heard that doing business is very tough and stressful. If you don’t meet the company’s performance targets, you only get a minimal base salary, which isn’t enough to support yourself.” Yu Fengqing looked at Lin Mengting skeptically, “I also heard that salespeople often have to entertain clients with food, drinks, fun, and conversations.”

“Different companies have different job natures!” Lin Mengting said cheerfully. It’s true that many salespeople have to entertain clients to secure deals, but in the logistics industry, salespeople don’t need to go to such lengths.

“Besides, do you think your daughter is so silly that she can’t handle herself in conversations? Salespeople rely on their skills to earn a living!”

Yu Fengqing looked intently at Lin Mengting, “Really? You didn’t lie to me?”

“Mom, I’d never lie to you!” Lin Mengting said sincerely without blinking.

In fact, this wasn’t purely a comforting statement.

At least in this life, she hadn’t suffered much in the past year.

And the hardships and schemes from her past life?

Lin Mengting saw them as life experiences.

— It was those experiences that allowed her to control her life better in this one.

The atmosphere in the car was strangely tense. Even Lin Yimin in the driver’s seat kept looking back, his lips moving as if wanting to break the awkward silence but failing to say anything.

Lin Mengting remained calm, looking at Yu Fengqing.

After a long while, Yu Fengqing blinked, looked away slightly, and said, “Alright, I believe you.”

Yes!

Lin Mengting made a “victory” gesture in her heart, then said with a proud tone, “Mom, I got really lucky this time. I found some clothing and jewelry store owners who were changing businesses and clearing out their inventory. I bought some things. When we get home, you can pick what you like. If there’s anything you can’t use, you can give it away.”

“You little girl!” Yu Fengqing turned her head sharply, glaring at Lin Mengting with an exasperated look.

Yu Fengqing had long wanted to lecture Lin Mengting. But since Lin Mengting had just arrived in M City today, it didn’t seem right to nag her. So, she had planned to let her off for now.

Now that Lin Mengting had brought it up herself, how could she let her off?!
