Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 68

“Sis, you look very elegant in this outfit.”

Lin Mengting’s face was full of admiration. “Next week, when you wear this to work, your colleagues at the research institute will definitely look at you with shock and disbelief. Then, who knows how many handsome researchers will have their hearts stirred by you.”

“What are you talking about?” Lin Chunying glared at Lin Mengting, but a faint blush slowly crept up her fair face.

“Okay, I admit I said the wrong thing.” Lin Mengting quickly admitted her mistake. “You will definitely make Brother-in-law dizzy and unable to see anyone else but you.”

Although everyone had the freedom to wear what they liked, for a professional woman like Lin Chunying, choosing an outfit that suited her was indeed better than wearing sportswear every day.

Of course, if…

In fact, this idea had been in Wang Qin’s mind for a long time. However, the clothes Wang Qin chose were all professional suits in black and dark blue—very somber colors! For a girl used to wearing sportswear, especially one as slightly rebellious as Lin Chunying, it was a disaster to wear such suits.

If it weren’t for Lin Mengting’s unexpected appearance, the conflict between Lin Chunying and Wang Qin over clothing might never have been resolved!

This was something Lin Mengting was unaware of.

In her previous life, Lin Mengting hadn’t been able to contact Lin Yian’s family in time. Even though her work and life later got on track, she never felt as close to them as she did in this life. She missed out on many things, especially news about Lin Chunying.

Back then, Lin Chunying’s habit of wearing sportswear for decades made her seem too childish. Although her professional skills were trustworthy, when another girl with the same professional skills but a more mature appearance and demeanor appeared, Lin Chunying was immediately overshadowed.

Especially when this girl, either intentionally or unintentionally, introduced her best friend to Zhen Jiahe!

At that time, the unspoken pressure from work and life caused Lin Chunying to become slightly estranged from Zhen Jiahe and treat him coldly.

Then, in the pain of unattainable love, Zhen Jiahe had a drunken affair with this female researcher’s best friend.

Regardless of who schemed against whom, for Lin Chunying, losing both her career and a love that could have lasted a lifetime was like a flower battered by wind and rain, quickly wilting.

Although she was not yet thirty, she looked like a woman in her forties, exuding a despair that was heartbreaking.

“Sis, try this set.”

Lin Mengting added another ankle-length dress and looked at Lin Chunying with a gaze full of beautiful future visions. “In a while, we can go to the beach. You wear this dress, and when the sea breeze blows, your skirt and hair will flutter. Just thinking about it feels so beautiful.”

Although the words were serious, Lin Chunying couldn’t help but think of the scene when Zhen Jiahe saw this, blushing deeply. She quickly snatched the dress from Lin Mengting’s hand and rushed into the fitting room.

Seeing this, Lin Mengting’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.

It was precisely because of Lin Chunying’s slightly childish personality and sincere heart that she acted this way. Anyone else would have slammed the door loudly by now.

But as the saying goes, joy and sorrow are closely linked. At this moment, Lin Mengting felt the deeper meaning of this saying.

It was because, by chance, she turned around and saw Qin Mei on the escalator, nestling like a bird in the arms of a tall, burly man!

Lin Mengting didn’t want to meet Qin Mei at this moment, but she didn’t plan to hide either. Otherwise, it would seem like she was fleeing in panic.

However, if she guessed correctly, with her boyfriend’s wealth, Qin Mei wouldn’t come into this store to shop.

So, Lin Mengting moved to a secluded corner.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Qin Mei and her boyfriend walked past the store entrance without even glancing inside. They laughed and chatted affectionately as they headed towards the revolving restaurant on the top floor.

A hint of sarcasm slowly appeared in Lin Mengting’s eyes.

It’s said that “a leopard can’t change its spots.” Given the current situation, it’s not so much that her rebirth caused a “butterfly effect” exposing Qin Mei and Qin Dong’s true nature, but rather that she never truly understood their true nature from the beginning!

Thinking of how in her previous life, Qin Mei and Qin Dong always saw her as a naive, easy-to-bully person, Lin Mengting felt deeply upset. Even though they gradually grew apart and stopped contacting each other, the feelings she had invested over the years couldn’t just be taken back!

Some pains do not fade over time but become scars that cannot be easily touched.

At this moment, Lin Chunying came out, and seeing Lin Mengting’s face full of resentment and displeasure, she subconsciously asked, “Tingting, what’s wrong?”

“I just saw Qin Mei.” Lin Mengting wiped her face, her shock, disbelief, and slight sadness clearly visible to Lin Chunying.

“I thought you’d always call her Sister Mei,” Lin Chunying teased and then casually asked, “Judging by your expression, did you see something you shouldn’t have?”

“Uh…” Lin Mengting hesitated and said, “Sort of.”

This time, Lin Chunying looked at Lin Mengting in surprise. “Either you did or you didn’t. What do you mean by ‘sort of’?”

“I saw her being intimate with a man.”

She hinted at it, and Lin Chunying immediately understood what Lin Mengting meant, giving her a look. “Is that really worth being so shocked about?”

After all, Qin Mei was already thirty, so having a boyfriend wasn’t unusual!

Lin Mengting said with a complicated expression, “In early May, when I was having dinner with a friend, I saw Qin Mei sitting on another man’s lap, feeding each other intimately.”

Now, it was just early July. The speed at which she changed “boyfriends” was faster than throwing away a disliked piece of clothing.
