Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 216

“I think the reason she kept asking about me was to find out what kind of life I was living at technical school, even though my grades were decent but not as good as hers.”

During those years, Lin Mengting, who had never planned to become a doctor but was forced into medical school, lived a life of neither complete idleness nor exceptional success. However, she maintained her hobbies of writing and drawing, earning a decent income from her work, and was recognized as a “talented girl,” receiving annual “Excellent Student” awards.

Unfortunately, her mother, Yu Fengqing, never boasted about this to others. After all, academic performance was considered more important for a student than success in a hobby.

“Until Fang Min started working and found out I was doing well in S City, which, compared to her situation, wasn’t exactly ‘worlds apart’ but still showed a clear gap.”

“No wonder she looked so upset when she found out you became a member of the G Province Painting and Calligraphy Association!” Yu Fengqing couldn’t help but grind her teeth, feeling a wave of regret and remorse that almost overwhelmed her.

How could she have been so easily convinced that Fang Min was just concerned about her health?

She had always prided herself on her ability to judge people accurately. Now, she wished she could turn back time!

“A person who once looked down on you suddenly sees you rise to the top, looking down on them. Who could bear that?” Lin Mengting smirked inwardly but kept her expression neutral.

In her previous life, Fang Min might have also been reborn.

Back then, like every new entrant to the workforce, she stumbled through the choice between “adapting to society” and “making society adapt to her,” almost breaking down before she finally chose to adapt, sacrificing much of herself.

This journey took her five or six years.

Plus, with Qin Dong, Xu Meili, and Zheng Gang—all reborn like her—making things difficult, it took her nearly ten years to become strong!

Ten years isn’t long in a person’s life but is crucial for growth.

Like Lin Mengting, who hadn’t been home in many years, was like those other migrant workers who struggled and couldn’t realize their dream of returning home in glory.

But Fang Min?

Thanks to her foresight from rebirth, she married into a wealthy family and started a courier company that became a multinational corporation in ten years, with branches in major cities across China!

In this situation, Fang Min didn’t need to actively go after Lin Mengting.

Not only was it unnecessary, but with just a look or a vague word, many eager to please her would take action against Lin Mengting, completing her revenge without getting her hands dirty. Moreover, Lin Mengting, who had lost her brilliance and fallen into mediocrity, was no longer a threat.

To deal with a hated enemy, is it better to kill them quickly or make them suffer slowly?

…

“Did you know? Fang Min from the Fang family is a drug addict!”

“Oh my god! Is that true? Mr. Fang always bragged about how smart and capable Fang Min is, saying she’s now a successful business owner earning more than college graduates!”

“I heard her boyfriend is a big official, and her family is influential in Beijing. The Fang family even said they’d charter a plane for us to attend her engagement in Beijing!”

“That sounds too far-fetched! How could Fang Min catch such a rich guy?”

“I heard the Fang family got rich because Fang Min became a rich man’s mistress after getting into technical school, saving up a fortune!”

“Apparently, the rich man was older than Mr. Fang! Tsk tsk… Young people today will do anything for money!”

“I always said Fang Min didn’t seem like a good girl! Who else dresses up so much every day, showing off even in cold weather? They say she’s a successful businesswoman, but I think she’s just used to being kept by rich men!”

“I heard these mistresses are like caged birds, stuck in one place with no freedom. Bad people like to tempt women like Fang Min, who have money but are bored and lonely!”

…

In no time, rumors about Fang Min spread across the town, even reaching remote villages.

People no longer envied the Fang family but mocked and despised them, blaming the parents for raising such a disgraceful daughter.

Soon, Fang Min’s parents were fired from their teaching jobs.

After all, they were supposed to be “educators.”

With Fang Min’s scandal, no school wanted to keep them, even though they were excellent teachers. Despite their efforts to discipline Fang Min, the school had to consider public opinion.
