Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 43

Eating and gossiping at the same time resulted in overeating!

Lin Mengting discreetly touched her little belly, got off a stop early, and planned to walk off the excess food.

Just then, she heard a familiar call from behind, “Tingting!”

Immediately, a sleek silver car stopped next to her with a beautiful drift, and in the lowered window, Lin Chunying’s familiar face appeared.

“Get in!”

Glancing at Zheng Jiahe, who was glaring at her with a look of warning and threat, Lin Mengting smiled brightly, “Thank you, Sister Ying!”

Zheng Jiahe felt like rolling his eyes to show his displeasure at Lin Mengting, the thousand-watt “third wheel.” Unfortunately, with Lin Chunying present, he had to swallow his pride and let this cunning little fox jump into the car, snuggle up next to Lin Chunying, and even put her arm around Lin Chunying’s shoulders.

Places even he hadn’t touched were now being taken advantage of by this little girl!

It was infuriating!

“Sister Ying, where did you and Mr. Zheng go today?”

Look at that, calling him “Mr. Zheng” so distantly! Would it kill her to call him “Brother-in-law” just once?!

Zheng Jiahe’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, the veins in his hands bulging. Even from a distance, Lin Mengting could see this, and then looked at Lin Chunying, who seemed oblivious and was happily sharing today’s fun events. Lin Mengting couldn’t help but shed a tear of sympathy for Zheng Jiahe.

…

A few minutes later, the car arrived at the residential area. With a “give a stick, then a date” mentality, Lin Mengting warmly invited, “Mr. Zheng, would you like to come in for a glass of water and a short rest?”

Zheng Jiahe was stunned for a moment but quickly responded with a smile, “Sure, I can also check your homework and see if you’ve been slacking off.”

“Teacher Zheng, don’t worry, I am always diligent,” Lin Mengting replied cheerfully, pretending not to see Lin Chunying’s fierce glare. She pulled Lin Chunying down and stood with her as they watched Zheng Jiahe park the car and take out the prepared gifts from the trunk.

Zheng Jiahe thought to himself, needing something from someone and trying to please them, she calls him “Teacher Zheng.” What a cunning trick!

“Sister Ying, I didn’t expect you to be like this!” Lin Mengting said with a face full of “I can’t believe you, Lin Chunying,” making Lin Chunying pinch her cheek and say fiercely, “Young girls shouldn’t overthink, overthinking makes you age faster.”

Lin Mengting nodded with a face full of understanding, making Lin Chunying’s anger, which had just subsided, flare up again like a fire doused with oil.

However, Lin Mengting lightly brushed her sleeve, feeling too naive and kind, unable to see through Zheng Jiahe’s “evil” intentions hidden beneath his sly fox appearance!

——She thought, Lin Chunying must have become his “captive” long ago!

…

When the group entered, Lin Yian and Wang Qin, who were chatting in the living room, were stunned. Their eyes moved from Zheng Jiahe and Lin Chunying, who were only a step apart, to the fruit baskets and gift boxes in their hands, revealing a meaningful smile.

Following closely behind, Lin Mengting cheerfully greeted Lin Yian and Wang Qin, then quickly said, “Fourth Aunt, it turns out Sister Ying didn’t come home last night because she went camping at the beach with Teacher Zheng!”

Camping?

A girl camping with a man, what did this mean?

“Sister Ying didn’t say a word, just abandoned us. Isn’t this a typical case of having a new love and forgetting the old ones?”

“Yes,” Wang Qin said with a meaningful look at Lin Chunying, who was acting like an ostrich on the sofa, then looked at Zheng Jiahe, who was gazing at Lin Chunying with affectionate eyes, feeling full of relief and joy.

While Wang Qin was the happy mother-in-law admiring her son-in-law, Lin Yian critically scrutinized Zheng Jiahe and called him over for questioning.

Although the Lin family had already thoroughly investigated Zheng Jiahe’s background, they still had to go through the motions.

…

Just as Lin Mengting was considering making tea and getting some sunflower seeds to watch the drama unfold, she was embarrassed by Lin Yian and Wang Qin’s “future son-in-law” treatment. She quickly got up, dragged Lin Chunying towards the upstairs bedroom.

“Tingting, come upstairs with me!”

Lin Mengting pouted, looking extremely aggrieved, but didn’t say a word. She let Lin Chunying drag her into the bedroom, then flopped onto the wide, soft bed, grabbed a pillow, and placed it under her head. “Queen, have mercy! QAQ!” she cried.

Lin Chunying was speechless, thinking that dealing with young people was exhausting.

Lin Mengting, acting innocent and pitiful, continued, “Sister Ying, I really didn’t mean to.”

“You see, Teacher Zheng…” Seeing Lin Chunying’s changing expression, Lin Mengting realized “Teacher Zheng” touched a nerve. She quickly changed her tune, “Mr. Zheng is a typical snake in the grass, a hypocrite, a cunning man, an old sly fox!”

Seeing Lin Mengting about to go on and on, Lin Chunying made a “stop” gesture, “When did you figure this out?”

Still processing, Lin Mengting was momentarily confused, “Huh?”

Lin Chunying crossed her arms and looked at Lin Mengting with a knowing smile.

Lin Mengting quickly understood, smiling, “Do you want the truth or a lie?”

“What do you think?” Lin Chunying asked, every word dripping with threat, making Lin Mengting surrender without hesitation, “It was that time…”
