Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 57

This is a story about a curse.

The Qin family’s ancestors inadvertently offended someone with great power. Before dying, this person used their life to curse the Qin family, causing them to undergo a drastic personality change whenever they experienced certain stimuli.

The scariest part is that, even after several generations, the Qin family couldn’t determine the exact triggers for these changes.

Over the years, as no one had experienced these changes for generations, the family gradually ignored the curse. They believed that the ancestors fabricated the story to prevent their descendants from becoming spoiled and unfilial.

The idea was to encourage the Qin family to focus on “self-cultivation,” promoting kindness and gaining the support of others in times of need.

…

“Who would have thought that the grudges of ancestors from generations ago would still affect us today?” Qin Mei sighed, looking fearful. “Luckily, when Qin Dong called home last time, an elderly man from our hometown was present. He heard something unusual in our conversation and questioned us until he got to the bottom of it. Thankfully, we woke up in time and didn’t make any bigger mistakes.”

Look at this story!

It’s just shy of directly saying that without Lin Mengting, Qin Mei and Qin Dong wouldn’t have been triggered by the curse, leading to their drastic personality changes and frequent attacks on Lin Mengting. This not only affected Lin Mengting’s reputation but also strained the relationship between the Qin and Lin families.

“Miss Qin, your story is well-crafted. I sincerely suggest you organize it and add more fantastical elements. It will surely be a bestseller if submitted to a publisher.”

Even now, Lin Mengting kept a faint smile on her face.

It was as if she wasn’t the one entangled in this bizarre situation.

Only those who truly knew her could detect the cold sarcasm in her eyes.

“Maybe you’ll become the next Jin Yong.”

“Tingting, this isn’t just a story!” Qin Mei put down her teacup, looking sincere. “I know all this seems unbelievable to you. But I swear to the heavens, everything I said is true! If you don’t believe me, you can call my parents. They witnessed what happened when the expert performed the ritual at our home! I know we hurt you deeply over the past few months, which is why you’re skeptical of us. But we’ve genuinely changed. Can’t you give us a chance to start over?”

After a pause, Qin Mei added, “Fortunately, it was only a few months, and it hasn’t caused you too much harm.”

To use a common saying, “It’s never too late to mend.”

“If an apology was enough, why would we need the police?” With that, Lin Mengting stood up and said, “Miss Qin, I must take my leave.”

There’s no point in continuing this conversation. For Qin Mei and Qin Dong’s twisted logic, Lin Mengting could only scoff.

In her past life, how naive had she been to be manipulated by this pair of siblings for so long before realizing their true intentions?

Luckily, once she discovered the truth, she decisively gave them a taste of their own medicine. Otherwise, facing their more insidious schemes in this life would only make her more furious and frustrated.

Watching Lin Mengting’s decisive and unwavering departure, Qin Mei squinted her eyes, hiding her cold malice.

Since you show no mercy, don’t blame me for being ruthless!

I genuinely treated you like a sister, but you hurt me deeply!

“Sis, how did it go?” Qin Dong, hidden in the shadows, approached Qin Mei anxiously after she sat down.

“What do you mean?” Qin Mei glanced at Qin Dong, her expression darkening momentarily.

Even though Qin Mei despised Qin Dong’s desperate pursuit of Lin Mengting, they shared an unbreakable bond. Under the influence of their family’s values of “shared glory and shared loss,” and the old saying “married daughters are like spilled water,” Qin Mei still felt obligated to help Qin Dong in his romantic pursuit.

Regardless of his rebirth, Qin Dong never understood Qin Mei’s true thoughts. Of course, he didn’t intend to invest much time or energy into his sister.

Despite his decades of experience and memories, Qin Dong, relying on Qin Mei’s past “heartfelt” behavior towards him, didn’t think too deeply. He just kept urging her, “Sis, why are you keeping me in the dark? You know how anxious I am!”

“Now you’re anxious? What were you doing earlier?!” Qin Mei couldn’t stand Qin Dong’s “lovesick puppy” demeanor, looking at him with disappointment.

“I told you before, if you want to win over someone like Lin Mengting, either excel academically or achieve a successful career. People often talk about ‘bread and love,’ and many believe that young girls value ‘love’ more than ‘bread.’ But Lin Mengting is an exception! Someone like Lin Mengting not only has extraordinary cunning but also possesses a maturity and rationality beyond her years. To win her over, you need to use a ‘slow and steady’ approach. But you never listened! In school, you couldn’t focus on your studies. After entering society, you couldn’t focus on your career. You just followed Lin Mengting around, trying to get her to agree to be your girlfriend. Need I say more? Put yourself in her shoes. Would you accept someone like you?”

Back then, Qin Dong often said things like “bros before hoes.” Even a stunning beauty wouldn’t have sparked his interest.

Yet, upon arriving in S City, Qin Dong’s attitude towards Lin Mengting did a complete 180!

How could that not raise suspicion?!

If not for Qin Dong’s familiar mannerisms and accurate recounting of their childhood, Qin Mei might have suspected he was possessed!
