Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 91

“Tingting, how can you be like this?!”

Qin Dong’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief, filled with deep helplessness and sorrow. He growled softly, “Tingting, I know this isn’t your true intention, right?!”

As he said this, Qin Dong glanced up at Wang Qin, who was sitting quietly and watching. His look almost directly accused her of being the reason for Lin Mengting’s sudden unreasonable behavior.

Wang Qin glanced at Qin Dong indifferently and then directly dialed the security office.

“Please send a couple of people over. We have someone behaving strangely here.”

Seeing this, Qin Dong seemed to be frightened. He retreated backward until he hit the wall. Cornered, he looked at Lin Mengting and Wang Qin with eyes full of accusation and deep helplessness.

It was as if Lin Mengting and Wang Qin were forcing him into a desperate situation. He wanted to resist but was powerless.

“How can you do this? I just deeply love Tingting! Even if Tingting can’t accept my love, there’s no need to be so cold and ruthless! Tingting, no matter what, I did take care of you a lot during those three months. Not to mention, our families have been neighbors for decades. Even if you can’t accept my love, you don’t have to humiliate me like this! Where is the long-standing neighborly friendship between our families? Where is the face of the Qin family?”

“Mr. Qin, you actually know how to write the words ‘face’ and ‘dignity’? I thought your dictionary only contained the word ‘shameless,’ long devoid of any self-respect.”

In her previous life, Lin Mengting had wanted more than once to clear things up with Qin Mei and Qin Dong.

But by the time she realized Qin Mei and Qin Dong’s malicious intentions, she was past her youthful and impulsive years. Though she hated these two who had led her astray, she knew it was ultimately her own decisions that had shaped her path.

Strictly speaking, Qin Mei and Qin Dong only played a small part in her difficult life. The rest was due to others pushing her down and her own lack of willpower.

If she had been resilient, unmoved by external factors, and determined to pursue her goals regardless of obstacles, no one could have easily manipulated and harmed her!

This is why, after being reborn, Lin Mengting treated Qin Mei and Qin Dong with a cold and distant attitude, never thinking of settling old scores with them.

Unfortunately, Lin Mengting’s magnanimity and lack of confrontation were seen by Qin Mei and Qin Dong as cowardice and concession—no matter how smart and capable she became or how good her job was, she was still the “soft target” anyone could push around.

“Mr. Qin, I think you wouldn’t want any problems with your and Miss Qin’s jobs, would you?”

This was a threat, a blatant threat!

Qin Dong bit his cheeks hard, fingers tightly clenched, while inside, his mind was in turmoil.

[Such a sharp tongue, almost friendless, with a cruel mind capable of easily holding others’ weaknesses, could this truly be the Lin Mengting from his memory—the elegant, untouchable Lin Mengting?!]

[And yet, Lin Mengting is only 18 now! At this age, most girls would be squandering their youth, dreaming of a beautiful future, or living recklessly… None would be like Lin Mengting!]

For the first time since his rebirth, Qin Dong seriously scrutinized Lin Mengting.

It was then that Qin Dong realized that in these few months, Lin Mengting had undergone such a transformation that it couldn’t simply be described as a change.

They say essence is key; one’s essence is the most important aspect of a person.

[Before, Lin Mengting was like any other eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, full of youthful vigor, innocence, and a somewhat shy and awkward attitude. It was easy to see through her.]

[Now, though she still had the vibrancy of youth, she also had an unmistakable aura of gentleness and wisdom, a feeling of control over her own destiny.]

[Strictly speaking, this state should appear in someone who has achieved significant, admired success at a young age. Yet, in just six months, Lin Mengting had changed so drastically.]

[Could it be the so-called ‘butterfly effect’? Because of his rebirth, Lin Mengting didn’t end up at Wanda, where she would have lived a low-key yet oppressive life, shaping her early personality. Instead, at Hongxing, she truly experienced the joy of finding a mentor, achieving a dramatic turnaround in the shortest time?!]

[Such a Lin Mengting made him feel that she could transform into the woman from his previous life in no time. Could he still easily pluck this high mountain flower as planned?]

Qin Dong blinked, hiding the confusion in his eyes, and when he saw Wang Qin’s mocking expression, his heart skipped a beat.

[So, this is the source of Lin Mengting’s transformation!]

[Looking back, Lin Mengting’s ability to capture the heart of that high-ranking official’s son in her previous life must have been influenced during her stay with her Fourth Uncle’s family.]

[After all, such families, even if they no longer insisted on ‘marrying within one’s social class,’ would still demand that the wife they bring home be a capable ‘virtuous helper’ who could not be easily discarded.]

[Such a Lin Mengting made her even more irresistible.]

[After all, if he could win Lin Mengting, a bright future would be within reach!]

[One must strive for their future. Fortune favors the bold!]
