Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 30

“Bang!”

Even Qin Mei, who usually prided herself on being “dignified and gentle,” couldn’t help but show a trace of darkness on her beautiful face.

Lin Mengting had turned down her invitation again!

“Sister, see? I was right.” Qin Dong, who had been prepared for this, shook his head and sighed. “I’ve noticed that Little Ting has been distancing herself.”

Since Lin Mengting resigned half a month ago, they hadn’t been able to see her.

With no other options, they resorted to using other means to get the phone number for Fourth Uncle Lin’s house.

Unfortunately, their deep longing was met with the Lin family’s cold and distant attitude! Even Lin Mengting wasn’t an exception!

Thinking of this, Qin Dong’s face flashed with anger, and he said fiercely, “If I find out who spoke ill of us to Little Ting behind our backs, I’ll definitely make them pay! I’ll show them why the flowers are so red!”

“Enough!” Qin Mei glared at Qin Dong, dismissing his pointed remarks. “What’s the use of saying this now? I told you long ago that Lin Mengting is not as simple as you think. But you didn’t believe me! Do you see now?!”

“Sister, Little Ting is a good girl,” Qin Dong said seriously, his face showing a determination and sincerity Qin Mei had never seen before.

Unfortunately, even this couldn’t hide the deep anxiety in his heart.

“Someone must have badmouthed us behind our backs!”

This statement almost directly pointed to Fourth Uncle Lin and Fourth Aunt Lin, as they were the only ones in S City who could influence Lin Mengting this much.

Otherwise, why would Lin Mengting, who had always been close to them, suddenly become so cold and distant?

“I don’t understand. What’s so good about Lin Mengting that makes you go to such lengths?” Qin Mei said disapprovingly.

“Meticulous” wasn’t enough to describe what Qin Dong had done for Lin Mengting.

“Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged girls are everywhere! With your conditions, finding someone better than Lin Mengting should be a piece of cake! I heard your boss’s sister likes you a lot. Ever since you started working at that computer training center, many pretty girls have signed up to learn computers. Even the local elders, who usually look down on outsiders like us, have a high opinion of you and often try to introduce you to their daughters.”

Although many of these girls couldn’t compare to Lin Mengting, the boss’s sister alone was ten times better!

Her family was not only local, but she also owned several properties, her family ran large factories with thousands of employees, and they had several relatives in key provincial and city positions.

Anyone who married her would save themselves thirty years of hard work!

But Qin Dong avoided her like the plague.

“You seem to be bewitched, determined to hang yourself on Lin Mengting, the crooked tree! I really don’t understand what you young people think these days!”

“Sister, you don’t understand.” Qin Dong shook his head, unwilling to discuss this further with Qin Mei.

In fact, if Qin Dong hadn’t been reborn, he might have thought the same as Qin Mei.

—Can love be eaten?

Since it was unnecessary, marrying anyone should be fine, right?

If he were to marry and have children, he should find someone who could support his family in some way!

But who would have thought that Lin Mengting would become the “phoenix” rising from the ashes?

Such a Lin Mengting, even the boss’s sister couldn’t hold a candle to her.

Thinking of this, Qin Dong said solemnly, “Sister, I hope you can support me.”

“Forget it! You’re an adult now, and you don’t listen to me anyway. Do whatever you want!” Qin Mei raised her hand to rub her aching temples, waving dismissively.

But even though Qin Dong was her blood brother, Qin Mei couldn’t help but offer advice, “Just be sure, can you endure that kind of hardship?”

“Sister, if others knew you equated studying with suffering, they’d laugh at us for ‘sour grapes’ and ‘not appreciating our blessings.’” With Qin Mei’s support, Qin Dong felt a huge weight lift from his chest, making him feel much lighter.

“Then what is it?” Qin Mei said flatly. For someone like Qin Dong, who couldn’t study no matter what method he tried, studying was suffering!

Now, to get closer to Lin Mengting, Qin Dong had signed up for an adult education preparatory class with a “do or die” attitude!

“If Mom and Dad knew you did this for Lin Mengting, they wouldn’t know whether to be happy or angry.”

Happy that Qin Dong, at twenty-two, finally realized the importance of studying.

Angry that Lin Mengting had such a profound impact on him!

Imagine a girl who caused so much trouble before even getting together with Qin Dong. Who knew how she would behave after they were in a relationship?

“You’re the perfect example of ‘turning against your own family!’” Qin Mei glared at Qin Dong, feeling helpless against his stubbornness.

Qin Dong made a pleading face, “Sister, please don’t let Mom and Dad know about this.”

Otherwise, his pursuit of Lin Mengting would become even more difficult!

“At least you know not to let them know!” Qin Mei snorted, unwilling to argue further, but seriously added, “Since you’ve made your choice, no matter what difficulties you face, you must persist. You absolutely can’t quit halfway for any reason!”

After all, at twenty-two, Qin Dong should understand the meaning of commitment and be ready to bear the consequences.

“Understand?”

Qin Dong’s expression turned serious, and he solemnly nodded, “Sister, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”

How many people in this world get a chance to start over and correct every flaw in their lives?

How could he waste such an opportunity?!
