Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 219

The more Qin Mei talked, the more she felt convinced that this was the truth. Even her voice grew more confident. “If it wasn’t like this, why would Qin Dong abandon his career in S City and go to the capital to start over? Let me tell you, Lin Mengting is not a good person! She is sneaky, deceitful, and has a heart like a snake and scorpion… She must have used the trick of ‘playing hard to get,’ forcing Qin Dong to fall step by step…”

“You are thinking too poorly of her,” Mrs. Qin said, rubbing her sore temples. After all, she had watched Lin Mengting grow up and knew her nature well.

“If Lin Mengting really had such a mind, the Lin family would have been prosperous long ago, rather than staying in a small, remote town for decades. Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes to phoenixes, and mice know how to dig holes.”

The reverse is also true.

How could parents who are pure and simple give birth to a clever daughter?

Of course, this is about innate traits.

Later, the living environment and people one interacts with also have a significant impact.

Lin Mengting was this type of girl.

“Mom, you think too highly of her,” Qin Mei sneered. From the beginning, she never believed that Lin Mengting was truly innocent and kind!

And everything that happened this past year confirmed her suspicions.

Mrs. Qin waved her hand, showing she had no interest in arguing with Qin Mei anymore. She simply turned to Qin Dong and asked, “Qin Dong, what do you plan to do now?”

Even though Qin Dong had experienced two lifetimes and had rich life experience and excellent strategies, he still showed some restraint in front of his family.

Thus, when Lin Mengting’s name frequently appeared in Qin Dong’s conversations, Mrs. Qin had already guessed what he was scheming.

However, from beginning to end, Mrs. Qin never expressed any opinions on this matter. She wouldn’t scold Qin Dong for scheming against Lin Mengting just because she had watched the girl grow up and could be considered her elder.

After all, no matter how likable Lin Mengting was, she was still an outsider.

And Qin Dong was her own son, sharing half her blood!

But that was all in the past.

Recalling some rumors she had heard during casual chats, Mrs. Qin’s eyes flickered, and she looked at Qin Dong with a mix of disappointment and frustration.

Qin Dong felt a surge of emotions.

What could he do?

He was more desperate than anyone!

Why had he tried so hard to get close to Lin Mengting since his rebirth? It was all for her “noble aura”!

Yet, every time he was about to succeed, he would suffer a huge setback, leaving him feeling defeated.

Even using Fang Min to poison Lin Mengting had failed. What else could he plan?

Mrs. Qin frowned and bluntly warned, “Qin Dong, I don’t care what you’re thinking, but from now on, stay away from Lin Mengting.”

Love? What does that matter?

To the older generation, “marry a man, wear clothes and eat food” was what truly mattered.

To ensure their children had a better life, using certain means to marry a wife who could save them thirty years of hard work was the most sensible decision anyone with clear thinking would make.

Therefore, Mrs. Qin never took Qin Dong’s supposed love for Lin Mengting seriously and even supported it.

After all, it was better for her son to marry a woman he didn’t love than to marry a woman he adored and then grow distant from his parents due to her influence.

But that was in the past.

Now, Lin Mengting was beyond the Qin family’s reach and not someone Qin Dong could scheme against or aim to marry.

Given the situation, keeping Qin Dong and Lin Mengting apart was the best strategy.

“Mom, how can you say that about Qin Dong?!” Such accusations shouldn’t be directed at him.

So, Qin Mei firmly cut in, “Why should Lin Mengting stay away from Qin Dong?!”

“If it wasn’t to avoid Lin Mengting, why would Qin Dong go all the way to the capital…”

Starting over from scratch is exhausting for anyone and might not even bring more success. It could even result in a total loss!

“Enough!” Mrs. Qin didn’t want to hear Qin Mei’s repeated complaints full of resentment and anger. She said calmly, “I didn’t interfere before because I believed you knew what you were doing and could handle it.”

“After all, you are adults and should be responsible for your decisions.” As she spoke, Mrs. Qin’s eyes briefly glanced at Qin Mei’s slightly rounded belly. The flash of sadness and regret in her eyes was so quick that Qin Mei didn’t notice, let alone the confused Qin Dong.

“Lin Mengting’s boyfriend is a military officer.”

This bombshell once again shocked Qin Mei and Qin Dong.

A military officer?

For Mrs. Qin to mention this so casually yet with an underlying warning meant that this “military officer” was no ordinary one!

Officers without background or exceptional ability often left the army quietly during cutbacks.

But officers with family background or outstanding skills would gain the appreciation and promotion from their superiors.

In this way, Lin Mengting would be marrying a “rich and handsome” man, easily reaching the peak of her life. How could Qin Mei, who always dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family and worked tirelessly towards this goal, not feel envious and jealous?!

“How could Lin Mengting be with a soldier? That’s impossible!” Qin Dong looked horrified and confused, with a fear that he didn’t even realize.

In his past life, after marrying the son of a high-ranking official in G Province, Lin Mengting used her connections to rapidly grow her small company into a well-known enterprise in China, becoming the richest person in G Province within a few years!

Don’t underestimate the title of “richest person in G Province”!

G Province has the most wealthy people in the country. People with less than ten million are considered middle class there.

The wealth of the truly rich is exponentially higher!

In fact, the richest person in G Province is also among the top three richest people in the entire country!
