Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 190

The afternoon sunlight poured through the large windows, casting a golden glow over the room.

Basking in the sunlight, Lin Mengting tilted her head slightly, her gentle smile giving off an angelic aura.

No! This must be a trick of my mind!

Fang Min pinched her palm hard, using the pain to snap out of the trance-like state.

“Tingting, your skin was always good, but now it’s even better. You were always ‘fair and rosy, with skin so smooth you could pinch water out.’ Now, after four years, it’s even more amazing.”

Even though her tone was light, Lin Mengting could still catch the envy and jealousy in Fang Min’s words.

“I remember you studied in C City and worked in S City for almost a year. You haven’t been in M City for four years. Is it true that the climate outside is better for your skin?”

【They say S City, being by the sea, has strong UV rays that can age even the most beautiful outsiders in a few years. But it seems that’s not the case for Lin Mengting?!】

【Or is it because S City is close to Hong Kong, and Lin Mengting, having found a rich benefactor, often goes to Hong Kong for skincare treatments?】

Lin Mengting “…”

This is the perfect example of “seeing the world through a dirty lens”!

“You flatter me! I think your skin looks even better than mine!”

Lin Mengting’s gaze lingered on Fang Min’s fashionable outfit before moving to her lightly made-up face. “If you hadn’t come to find me, I might not have recognized you if we passed each other on the street! You’ve changed so much since our school days!”

What a transformation from an ugly duckling to a swan!

Fang Min’s smile flashed with pride. Despite her rebirth and all her life experiences, she couldn’t help but feel a moment of elation at Lin Mengting’s sincere compliment.

After all, in both lives, Lin Mengting was a “huge obstacle” she needed to overcome!

Getting such recognition from this “obstacle” felt like a unique success.

But Fang Min quickly squashed these feelings and said, “I envy you for being petite. Everything looks good on you. Unlike me, I have to be careful with what I wear to avoid looking ridiculous.”

“I envy your height. You can pull off any style,” Lin Mengting said, her eyes sparkling with faux envy, making Fang Min laugh.

“Aren’t we just ‘wanting what we can’t have’?”

Before Lin Mengting could respond, Fang Min added half-jokingly, “I can’t believe how much you’ve changed. You used to be so quiet and shy, but now you’re so confident and eloquent!”

Lin Mengting shrugged, “I had no choice. In sales, you need to be able to talk to convince clients to work with us. No clients, no orders. No orders, no bonuses. Without bonuses, I’d have to call my parents for help!”

“Yeah, right!” Fang Min scoffed, “I know you call your parents often and send them lots of gifts every month.”

Nowadays, phone charges were outrageous!

Besides, the clothes and supplements Lin Mengting sent home, while not branded, were still good quality and expensive!

“I’m their only child. Of course, I need to call often and send things home,” Lin Mengting smiled and got up to make more tea.

This easily shifted the conversation away from that topic.

Such a smooth maneuver made Fang Min narrow her eyes, realizing that Lin Mengting’s rapid rise wasn’t just due to luck.

【If Lin Mengting were truly hopeless, no amount of help could lift her to such heights!】

【I need to adjust my plans to ensure Lin Mengting’s downfall.】

Hearing Fang Min’s inner thoughts, Lin Mengting remained calm, bringing the tea to the living room and offering a cup to Fang Min.

“Try the tea I made.”

“Tea?” Fang Min looked at the rich, inviting tea. “It looks delicious. I didn’t know you could make this!”

“Living alone, you learn to do everything yourself,” Lin Mengting said, sipping her tea, savoring the rich taste.

But to Fang Min, this seemed like a pretense.

“It tastes great,” Fang Min said, taking a small sip. “You’ll have to teach me how to make it.”

“Sure, I’ll write down the steps for you. It’s really simple.”
