Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 256

“But you can’t compare to Miss Wen!”

Yang Ping fought back. It wasn’t just that Lin Mengting’s transformation before and after joining the company was shocking. She truly went from being “short, ugly, and plain” to “tall, fair, and beautiful.” Plus, her newfound confidence made her seem anything but ordinary. That’s why Wen Huiru was so jealous!

Before Lin Mengting arrived, Wen Huiru was known as the “ugly girl” in the department. But when Lin Mengting came, that title quickly shifted to Wen Huiru.

In less than three months, Lin Mengting, who spent most of her time indoors and followed her skincare routine from her previous life, transformed into a fair-skinned, beautiful young woman. She easily returned the “ugly girl” title to Wen Huiru and even earned the reputation of “ugly people cause more trouble.”

Just when Wen Huiru was about to harm Lin Mengting to get back at her, she suddenly heard that Lin Mengting was under the protection of the Sun family and was Sun Weiqi’s girlfriend!

Lin Mengting was like a nobody who suddenly became someone everyone admired overnight. How did that feel?

…

“People say ‘red flowers need green leaves to stand out.’ I wonder if Miss Yang understands the true meaning of this saying?” Wen Huiru was no pushover. Otherwise, how could she have fought with Yang Ping for so many years without a clear winner?

Even though Yang Ping often went easy on her because of their status, it didn’t matter. The fact was, they were “evenly matched!”

“That’s none of your business, Miss Wen,” Yang Ping replied lightly, but her expression clearly showed she thought Wen Huiru was meddling unnecessarily.

Wen Huiru’s intentions were almost written on her face, but she still acted like everyone else was a fool she could deceive.

Who was the real fool here?

“Let’s go,” Yang Ping said, linking arms with Lin Mengting and walking away, ignoring Wen Huiru’s furious expression.

As they passed Wen Huiru, Lin Mengting noticed the vicious and cold look in her eyes. She sighed inwardly but didn’t show any emotion on her face.

Wen Huiru “…”

At that moment, Wen Huiru really wanted to slap Lin Mengting! She wanted to tear off Lin Mengting’s “fake” beautiful facade and show everyone her true colors!

Lin Mengting had used her charm to bring in big sponsorships and orders for the company. In today’s world, where people admired wealth more than anything, this wasn’t surprising.

But having a boyfriend while maintaining ambiguous relationships with other company elites and even flirting with top talents from other companies? That was just shameless!

If it were just this, it wouldn’t be so bad.

But the most unbearable part was that Lin Mengting’s boyfriend was the man feared and respected by all the influential young men in Beijing. He was a leading figure among the aristocratic families!

On one side was a capable man who joined the military early and earned many honors, the “ideal child” everyone envied. On the other side was Lin Mengting, who used any means to climb the ladder, dark-minded and vanity-driven, the “shameless woman” everyone mocked.

It’s clear which side anyone would choose.

Especially since this man was someone all the noble ladies, including Wen Huiru, truly admired.

How could she not seize every chance to crush Lin Mengting and make sure she never recovered?

But this man openly declared that no one should touch Lin Mengting, or they would face him and his powerful Sun family!

Wen Huiru’s family, who had guessed her intentions, especially her equally formidable older brother, had warned her. Otherwise, even if it meant risking her life, she would have dealt with Lin Mengting!

…

“Sorry for dragging you into this.”

Yang Ping apologized. She had been fighting with Wen Huiru for years but never expected Wen Huiru to abandon her high status and comfortable life to join a small company and compete with her.

Given Wen Huiru’s intelligence, she could think of countless schemes without resorting to such “pointless” tactics!

After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Ping still couldn’t figure it out and decided to let things unfold naturally. She sighed and said, “I didn’t expect her to act like this today.”

Anyone else wouldn’t think much of Wen Huiru’s words.

But Lin Mengting wasn’t just anyone.

She immediately understood Wen Huiru’s underlying message!

“This isn’t your fault.” Lin Mengting shook her head and smiled. “Even without you, she and I wouldn’t be friends.”

Wen Huiru’s intentions were too obvious.

She was just a self-important girl, frustrated and jealous at seeing someone like Lin Mengting climb up.

As for other things?

Lin Mengting noticed them, but some things were better left unsaid. Otherwise, things could spiral out of control unpredictably.

“But I don’t regret it at all.”

Different paths don’t lead to the same destination.

Someone as narrow-minded and selfish as Wen Huiru should be “avoided at all costs.” Especially knowing she had other hidden motives.

…

Yang Ping finally relaxed, her tense body easing up. She joked, “Why didn’t you stay plain-looking?”

“That was impossible!” Lin Mengting shrugged, looking helpless. “I wasn’t born plain. How could I stay that way?”
