Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 211

How did it go?

Not well!

Fang Min had planned this “gathering” meticulously for almost a year!

She clenched her fists, using the pain to keep her shaky sanity. Her smile faded a bit. “Tingting, do you know how much effort I put into making this gathering happen? Contacting everyone, confirming their schedules, arranging the location… But never mind.”

Fang Min shook her head, looking disappointedly at Lin Mengting, who remained unmoved. “Actually, those things aren’t the biggest issue. Today, many classmates rushed back upon hearing you were home for the New Year. Why? Because we haven’t seen each other in almost five years and want to catch up. But despite all our efforts, you choose not to join us because of a minor issue. How will everyone feel about that? Or maybe you already look down on us for being mediocre, so you don’t want to associate with us or join our gathering? Afraid we might ask you for help one day?”

Her words were logical and emotional.

Anyone else might have felt guilty and agreed to stay.

“Sigh…” Lin Mengting sighed lightly, “It’s my fault this time. But my company has an urgent matter that needs my attention. You know, I’m just a small employee. Even on vacation, when my boss and clients need me, I have to handle it. Clients and bosses are both important.”

Lin Mengting continued, “Their support means higher income for me. I can’t afford to lose money, right?”

“Tingting, after five years, you’ve become so materialistic?” Fang Min looked at Lin Mengting in shock. She couldn’t believe that the girl who once never cared about money was now so focused on it!

【She was too naive!】

【Even the purest people will get tainted after entering society.】

【Like her, like Lin Mengting.】

【So, Lin Mengting’s success in S City must be hiding many dirty secrets!】

【Why should someone like her succeed and mock those of us who’ve struggled and worked hard to stand firm in our careers?】

【No matter how respectable she looks, she can’t hide her filth!】

“In society, you don’t always get to choose,” Lin Mengting said calmly, as if she was talking to Fang Min but also looking past her to the man leaning against a black car. He seemed interested in their conversation and was supposedly Fang Min’s “bodyguard.”

Youth, beauty, and charm are indeed a woman’s assets.

But thinking that these alone can help navigate relationships and transcend social boundaries to become a “phoenix” from an ordinary girl is just a fantasy.

Fairy tales are just stories and don’t happen in real life.

Trying to use other men to provoke the “bossy CEO” she wanted was too shallow a tactic.

Not just the targeted Mr. Yu, but even the “refined and elegant” man in front of her wasn’t easily fooled.

A slight misstep, and she’d end up getting burned.

Of course, Lin Mengting didn’t intend to sympathize with Fang Min.

After all, Fang Min, who also had the experiences of two lifetimes, knew this “refined” man wasn’t easy to deal with either.

But Fang Min saw their relationship as mutually beneficial, while he…

“How about this, Tingting?” Fang Min held tightly to Lin Mengting’s arm, not letting her escape, and suggested, “Just come in, greet everyone, have a few drinks, apologize, and then leave?”

At that moment, Lin Mengting’s phone rang again. She quickly spoke to the caller and then pulled her arm away from Fang Min.

“Please apologize to everyone for me.”

Before Fang Min could react, Lin Mengting got into a taxi and left gracefully.

“Why didn’t you stop her?” Fang Min glared at the man. She had signaled him several times, and the club had many hidden bodyguards. If he had said something, they could have stopped Lin Mengting!

—Being so close to success, only to be thwarted at the last moment, was beyond frustrating!

“The girl…”

She seemed ordinary but had an inexplicable aura.

—The kind of aura cultivated by being in a high position for decades, commanding authority and respect.

Such a girl wasn’t just a “hidden dragon” waiting to rise but already a soaring bird ready to become a dragon when the time came!

“Phoenix” was an understatement!

“I advise you not to provoke her again.”

The refined man, the real boss of the club, Mr. Zheng, looked at Fang Min and said calmly. The regret and sighs in his eyes were fleeting.

Despite everything, he had genuinely liked this girl. Even though events proved his “love at first sight” was just his imagination, he didn’t want to see her go down the wrong path.
