Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 248

“What happened?”

As she spoke, Lin Mengting got up and walked towards the balcony.

Just then, Sun Lina said, “I just saw a man downstairs holding a big bouquet of roses, heading towards our company.”

She paused for a moment and then added urgently, “I think there were 99 roses. The packaging looks just like the flowers from the ‘mystery person’ before.”

“What did the man look like?” Lin Mengting’s heart sank. Holding her phone between her ear and shoulder, she quickly started packing her things.

“He’s about 5’2″, short and thin, wearing glasses, and a black suit.”

Even with just a few words, Lin Mengting could picture him.

It was Zheng Gang, the man who had been harassing her for a while now!

“You’re sure he was holding 99 roses?” Lin Mengting asked, a guess forming in her mind.

“You think I’m you?” Sun Lina joked, her heels clicking on the floor. She knew Lin Mengting had already left the office and felt relieved enough to tease her.

“Ten, twenty, thirty roses might look similar. But a bouquet of 99 roses is huge and impressive. I know what I saw!”

She wouldn’t have noticed the difference before. But since the mysterious person had sent those 99 roses several times, she was the first to see and even touch them. She knew how heavy they were!

Of course, she wouldn’t tell Lin Mengting that. She didn’t want to sign any scary “contracts” with Lin Mengting for this information.

“But what did you do to get someone to follow you so persistently?”

Before today, Sun Lina had never met Lin Mengting’s boyfriend or seen them together. But she had seen his photo in Lin Mengting’s room.

If not, Sun Lina would be like the others in the company, thinking this man, who kept sending flowers, was deeply in love with Lin Mengting. She might even think he was here to propose today.

“This afternoon, I’ll visit a client,” Lin Mengting quickly decided.

Leaving quietly might seem like running away, but she couldn’t think of a better solution.

The company was full of gossip-loving people.

People loved the idea of “true love” and believed in “happy endings.”

People always sympathized with the weaker party.

“You go ahead!” Sun Lina laughed. “I’ll keep you updated with the latest news!”

Lin Mengting wanted to roll her eyes. Sun Lina’s excitement was clear!

“Make sure to cover everything!”

“Got it!” Sun Lina replied. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it!”

…

Soon, Zheng Gang arrived at the company with a crowd around him.

Before the receptionist could ask who he was looking for, a woman who didn’t like Lin Mengting stepped forward and smiled at Zheng Gang. “You’re the one who’s been sending Lin Mengting roses, right?”

Though phrased as a question, her tone was certain.

Zheng Gang’s surprise was brief. He felt excited.

He hadn’t expected Lin Mengting to be so disliked in the company!

Even though Lin Mengting’s actions and life were different from the past, she still didn’t know how to be humble.

Thinking this, Zheng Gang subtly observed the woman, wondering if he could use her to get information about Lin Mengting. But he showed none of this on his face and nodded slightly.

“Yes, that’s me.”

He pushed up his glasses, acting a bit shy under the crowd’s eager and excited gazes. “Is she here?”

This was the plan he and Xu Meili had discussed!

The story about Xu Meili’s boyfriend sending flowers? It was both true and false.

The first bouquet was indeed sent by Xu Meili, using her boyfriend’s name.

As for the rest, it was just part of their backup plan.

“I can’t believe you’re the one who’s been pursuing Lin Mengting so hard!” the woman said, half-jokingly. “Lin Mengting is lucky to have someone who loves her so much!”

If not for the sarcasm in her voice, the words might have sounded sincere.

It’s often said that “a flower is stuck in cow dung.” A talented and wealthy girl like Lin Mengting being pursued by a man like this seemed to prove that saying.

Whether it was unrequited love or a big gesture to win her over, it didn’t matter to them!

After today, the company’s potential bachelors would stop favoring Lin Mengting, and might even start resenting her because of this.

Especially if Lin Mengting married this man!

What could be more satisfying to envious women than seeing a beautiful and talented girl marry an ordinary, unimpressive man?

Lin Mengting’s future had nothing to do with them.

After today, they would all be free of this annoyance, and they could even enjoy watching her downfall.
