Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 237

“What a joke?!”

Xu Meili felt the string of reason in her mind snap. She couldn’t control her shock and fear, and she screamed out loud.

“That’s impossible! Did you hear wrong?! I know what happened. She must be tired of you calling her all the time and found out about you sending flowers to her before New Year. She’s probably sick of your stalking and harassment, so she made up this lie! She must be lying!”

In her past life, at this time, Lin Mengting was focused on her career and didn’t care about romance.

If not, three years later, the son of a high official from G Province wouldn’t have been so easily captivated by the confident and outstanding Lin Mengting when he came to Wanda Company.

In this life, after being reborn, Xu Meili had interacted with Lin Mengting many times. With her experience from two lives, she knew Lin Mengting was warm on the outside but cold on the inside, or maybe just a cold-hearted girl.

Such a girl, who knew exactly what to do and when, wouldn’t waste her best years on love.

“Don’t tell me about the ‘butterfly effect.’ No matter how big the butterfly effect, it can’t change a person’s nature!”

“People don’t change easily.” Even Xu Meili, who wasn’t that serious about studying and didn’t have a high diploma, understood this.

So how could Zheng Gang not understand?

“I wish she was bluffing,” Zheng Gang said, wiping his face and looking defeated. “But we’ve known her for so long. She’s the type who says what she means.”

If she didn’t want to say something, no one could make her speak.

If she wanted to say something, no matter how others tried to avoid it, they would hear her.

“I can feel that she was telling the truth.”

“Your feeling? Ha!” Xu Meili didn’t trust Zheng Gang’s intuition but decided to investigate it herself. She said casually, “Don’t you have connections at Hongxing Company? It’s easy to find out if Lin Mengting has a boyfriend. Just ask them!”

“I already asked. They’re not that familiar with her.” After being reborn and finding out that Lin Mengting worked at Hongxing Company, Zheng Gang used excuses like being an old classmate to get close to several employees there.

“After work, Lin Mengting either goes to Chengda University for classes or to the Youth Palace for lessons. She’s always busy, so even her department doesn’t know her well. Other departments know even less. Hongxing Company is huge, with lots of employees. They have department activities separately. The people I know can only get limited information about Lin Mengting from others.”

“Is that so?” Xu Meili smiled sarcastically at Zheng Gang. “I thought you would tell your friends you like Lin Mengting and are pursuing her, hoping they’d help you.”

Zheng Gang’s face stiffened, and his eyes flickered. Then, he said firmly, “Isn’t that normal? ‘A gentleman loves a fair lady.’ I only hoped they’d help me at the right time, not ruin their own future for me.”

“You make it sound so good.” Xu Meili chuckled but didn’t continue the topic.

If Zheng Gang won Lin Mengting, with his personality, he would clip her wings, preventing her from reaching her potential like in the past life.

But even so, Lin Mengting’s abilities couldn’t be underestimated.

So, even if Zheng Gang used many tricks and managed to marry her, it might not result in a great partnership. It could end up badly.

If Zheng Gang couldn’t win her over, with his vengeful nature, how could he coexist peacefully with Lin Mengting?

They would become bitter enemies, one needing to destroy the other.

…

Zheng Gang’s eyes flickered. He was never stupid and understood Xu Meili’s underlying message.

But right now, they were temporary allies. He couldn’t offend Xu Meili or break their alliance.

But that didn’t mean he couldn’t use her a bit, “I remember you have a good relationship with Lin Mengting. Can you ask her if she really has a boyfriend?”

Xu Meili glanced at Zheng Gang with obvious disdain. How had she ever liked such a ruthless, self-serving person?

“If she really has a boyfriend? Are you going to back off and wish them happiness?”

Zheng Gang stayed silent. He didn’t want to answer that.

“Ha!” Xu Meili laughed coldly, opened the door, and left.

“Bang!”

The door slammed shut, but it didn’t bring Zheng Gang back from his thoughts.

…

The room was eerily quiet.

“Ha!”

In this silence, where even a pin drop could be heard, a sudden cold laugh was like a ghost from the depths of hell, sending chills down the spine.

In this “smokeless” battle, how could he back down or bless them?

If he let Lin Mengting be with someone else, who would help him?

Why should he, after all his efforts, fail to win Lin Mengting’s heart, while others could easily take her?

He was sure no one loved Lin Mengting as deeply as he did!
