Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 264

The annoying flies were finally gone!

Lin Mengting felt refreshed and couldn’t help but poke Sun Weiqi’s arm. “Did you do that?”

Sun Weiqi nodded, grabbing her mischievous fingers and playing with them. “You’re always so kind, but you need to understand that some people take advantage of that and push their luck.”

“Before, I always thought we were just neighbors…” Lin Mengting shook her head and sighed. “Who would have thought I treated them as neighbors, but they saw me as an enemy?!”

Exactly!

Who else but someone with a deep grudge would go so far to slander a young girl?

Sun Weiqi nodded in agreement. “Don’t worry, they won’t bother you anymore.”

Before, he had heard about the troublesome siblings from Lin Mengting’s fourth uncle and aunt. But since he wasn’t officially with Lin Mengting at the time, he didn’t want to interfere and risk making a bad impression. After he finally won her over and wanted to deal with them, the siblings left S City. And just as he was about to act, they dared to come back and openly provoke Lin Mengting right in front of him!

Did they think he was dead?!

Unaware of Sun Weiqi’s thoughts, Lin Mengting breathed a sigh of relief, imagining the bodyguards dragging Qin Mei and Qin Dong away like scenes from a drama. She smiled.

“Now I’m relieved. I still don’t understand why they keep targeting me instead of focusing on their own lives,” Lin Mengting said, sighing.

“Wasting their youth like this… I hope they don’t regret it later.”

“Because you’re a good person,” Sun Weiqi said, despite his military background. He wasn’t naïve; he had dealt with plenty of cunning people since childhood.

“A really exceptional person,” Sun Weiqi added sincerely. In their circle, it was rare to find someone like Lin Mengting, who achieved so much at such a young age.

“Maybe I’m just lucky to have met you.”

“Are you praising yourself or them?” Lin Mengting chuckled. If she didn’t know better, she might think Sun Weiqi was just flattering her.

“I’m just saying that if even foolish people can see your worth, others will too.” Sun Weiqi referred not just to the people at Hongxing Company who targeted Lin Mengting but also to Xue Meili and Zheng Gang.

“Some of these people have different motives. You only need to accept their kindness, ignore their malice, and keep a proper distance. Don’t let their actions make you doubt yourself or ruin your life. Otherwise, you’ll fall into their trap.”

Gossip could destroy someone, but it could also strengthen those with strong wills.

A moment of weakness wasn’t shameful.

What was scary was getting stuck in that mindset and never breaking free, turning into a ridiculed and broken person instead of soaring high.

“The better you live, the more it highlights their pettiness,” Sun Weiqi said.

“Didn’t know you were so good at comforting people,” Lin Mengting smiled, her eyes narrowing with satisfaction.

Truth be told, Sun Weiqi wasn’t usually one to comfort others or play the role of a “dominant CEO,” showing how much she meant to him!

Perhaps right now, she occupied his thoughts completely!

It felt great!

They chatted for a while longer, and soon Sun Weiqi’s friends started arriving.

…

This girl isn’t even an adult yet, is she?

They couldn’t believe their stern, no-nonsense captain, known as the “Stone Face,” was now doting on a young girl.

The same captain who supposedly only cared about training and missions, the “Cold-Blooded Demon” second in command?

The world really had changed!

The eight friends exchanged shocked looks, each seeing the disbelief in the others’ eyes.

It felt like the end of the world had come, and they were witnessing it in a daze.

To top it off, Sun Weiqi, as if not making enough of a scene, fed Lin Mengting a piece of crispy radish right in front of them. She took a bite, and he ate the rest.

Publicly displaying affection like this?!

Clearly, Lin Mengting felt the intensity of the group’s envious stares. Her pale face turned red with embarrassment, especially when her moist almond eyes glared at Sun Weiqi, looking like she was teasing him.

If it weren’t for these inconveniently timed guests…

A cold shiver ran through the group, jolting them out of their shocked state. They all bowed in unison. “Sister-in-law!”

Lin Mengting looked at the group of men, all probably averaging thirty years old. “…”

First time being called “sister-in-law” by such a group of strong, older men!

What a strange feeling!
