Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 205

“If you can help explain, that would be the best.”

Fang Min took a tissue from her small bag, gently wiping the non-existent tears from the corner of her eyes. “Tingting, you may not know this, but you now hold a special place in everyone’s hearts.”

“As long as you speak, everyone will believe without reservation.”

“You think too highly of me,” Lin Mengting said flatly. Even though Fang Min wasn’t the scheming “reborn girl” who harbored ill intentions against her, it was impossible for Lin Mengting to help her out of their old classmate friendship.

After all, rumors involving “messy relationships between men and women” could easily implicate her if she wasn’t careful.

This was the selfishness that flowed in the bones of modern people, the cold-hearted nature of “minding one’s own business.”

“Tingting, you just need to say a few words. You don’t have to do anything. Can’t you help me with such a small matter?”

Fang Min’s expression turned bleak. At this moment, the image of Lin Mengting refusing to help her now overlapped eerily with the Lin Mengting who refused to help her five or six years later in her previous life.

It turned out that no matter how time and circumstances changed, some people’s nature would remain the same.

The same selfishness, the same cold-hearted cruelty!

Lin Mengting frowned slightly, looking at Fang Min with displeasure. “Fang Min, I’m not someone with that kind of influence. How could everyone listen to me? You’re putting me in a difficult position!”

“If you came here today just for this, then…” With that, Lin Mengting stood up, ready to see Fang Min off.

Unfortunately, Fang Min wouldn’t give up so easily.

At this moment, she covered her face without hesitation and began to wail, “Tingting, do you have to drive me to death to be satisfied…”

“Stop!” Fang Min intended to act out a tragic scene to “force” Lin Mengting to agree to help, but Lin Mengting had no intention of wasting her time on Fang Min, nor did she have the leisure to appreciate Fang Min’s “tearful” performance.

“It’s New Year’s, what are you wailing about?!” In both her past and present lives, Lin Mengting found it most annoying when women like Fang Min used “crying” to achieve their goals. Moreover, Fang Min harbored ill intentions, so Lin Mengting unhesitatingly snapped, “If you don’t want to become the laughingstock of the whole town, then stop those inexplicable tears!”

“Tingting, you…” Fang Min could hardly believe that the resolute and imposing young woman before her was the same naive and kind-hearted girl from her memories who could be easily deceived.

【Could it be that S City really has the power to change people? Otherwise, why could Lin Mengting achieve her dreams in S City in both her past and present lives?!】

【If I had known, I should have gone to S City immediately after being reborn, instead of thinking that I had several years until Lin Mengting “transformed” and staying in M City to develop my career. That way, when I achieved success, I could use my power to crush Lin Mengting completely, leaving her unable to rise again!】

【Now, even before I achieved success, Lin Mengting has already reached the peak of her life due to the so-called “butterfly effect”!】

【This is truly a joke from heaven! — Giving hope, pushing one to the peak, only to mercilessly take that hope away!】

“Heh…” Fang Min suddenly laughed coldly. “I was naive! How could I think that just because you’ve also achieved something in S City and endured those rumors, you’d understand my situation and lend me a hand?”

“Today, let’s pretend I never came.” Fang Min staggered to her feet, moving slowly towards the door, but in her heart, she was shouting frantically: Stop me!

【If you stop me, then I will “understand” you a bit!】

【In the future, when I take my revenge, I will choose the quickest way to end you painlessly. I won’t use methods like ‘slowly slicing meat’ or ‘letting someone die in fear and pain.’】

…

Lin Mengting: “…”

Are all these “reborn” people crazy?!

Have they fed their intelligence and emotions to the dogs?

They have the “foreknowledge” of future events for the next few decades and countless opportunities to climb to the top and achieve their dreams, yet they keep pestering her!

All for the so-called “benefactor” luck? How annoying!

Soon, footsteps came from behind Fang Min.

Fang Min was delighted, but her tearful and helpless face, turned slightly distorted with excitement and agitation.

Unfortunately, the next moment, Fang Min was disappointed again.

Lin Mengting quickly took a few steps forward and opened the door!

“Tingting, you…” Fang Min took several deep breaths to suppress the anger bubbling within her, resuming her pitiful, aggrieved expression as she looked at Lin Mengting with a “hesitant” and pitiful demeanor.

Lin Mengting made a gesture of “please leave.” “We don’t share the same path.”

Fang Min’s face changed constantly, glaring at Lin Mengting with a vicious, murderous look. “I hope you don’t regret this.”

With these harsh words, Fang Min flicked her sleeves and left with a flourish.

However, if her body hadn’t been so stiff, if her fingers in her pockets hadn’t been clenched into fists, and if her teeth hadn’t been grinding audibly, she might have looked a bit more graceful.

“Heh!” Lin Mengting sneered. Although she didn’t take Fang Min’s threats to heart, she decided to find an opportunity to trample Fang Min underfoot, making sure she could never rise again.

It wasn’t just because of Fang Min’s deep-seated malice, which was unbearable, but also because the time spent at home had made Lin Mengting realize a fact: her temperament was indeed too gentle and soft in the past.

Especially when dealing with these reborn individuals who were entangled with her in both past and present lives.

Otherwise, how could these scheming reborn people keep clinging to her like stubborn gum, refusing to let go even when they hit a dead end?

Isn’t it because they believe that even if they fail, they won’t face terrifying retribution?
