Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 92

What nerve!

At that moment, Lin Mengting also felt the urge to curse out loud.

It’s good to be self-aware, but what can you do when faced with someone as persistent as a cockroach, someone who just won’t die no matter how you try to get rid of them?!

It’s like she’s cursed with bad luck!

Especially since, in her previous life, Qin Mei and Qin Dong almost “succeeded” in their schemes!

Thinking back to her previous life, where she gave up the idea of temporarily staying with Lin Yian and Wang Qin because of the siblings’ persuasion, leading to a series of unfortunate events, Lin Mengting wished she could travel back in time and strangle her “stupid” self!

There was a ready-made “ladder,” but she chose to struggle on her own. This isn’t called “self-reliance,” but “reaping what you sow”!

If it weren’t for this, how could she have endured so much hardship before finally achieving some semblance of a decent life?!

Otherwise, why would people say, “Reincarnation is a skill”?!

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated Lin Mengting became, and her gaze toward Qin Dong grew even sharper.

Even in her previous life, though she relied on her own efforts, she could have achieved admirable success in three to five years.

Unfortunately, because of Qin Mei and Qin Dong’s selfish desire to control her, they manipulated her into making wrong decisions time and again. It wasn’t until she grew older and realized their malicious intentions that she gradually distanced herself from Qin Mei and finally succeeded after much hardship.

This whole ordeal cost her decades of her life!

Now, thinking back on it, and with Qin Dong’s words today adding to the picture, Lin Mengting felt that she shouldn’t have let Qin Mei and Qin Dong off so easily in her previous life!

…

After Qin Dong left, Wang Qin, who had listened to Lin Mengting’s impassioned speech, felt both gratified and proud, though her face showed no sign of it.

“Tingting, this matter isn’t easy to handle.”

They say, “The unreasonable fear the reckless, and the reckless fear those who are desperate.” Who could guarantee that if pushed to the brink, Qin Dong wouldn’t do something irrational?

“Auntie, I know. I’m sorry for the trouble.” Lin Mengting sighed inwardly. Honestly, in her previous life, Qin Dong wasn’t this stubborn.

She wondered if her rebirth and the subsequent changes she made had convinced Qin Dong even more of his good fortune.

After all, in her previous life, during the years Qin Dong left S City for Beijing, her life had been quite unsatisfactory.

No matter how well-prepared she was or how meticulously she planned, the results were always disappointing.

Now, with Qin Dong and Qian Zhiyuan, two reborn individuals who had witnessed different aspects of her life, she felt more confused than ever.

…

However, Lin Mengting quickly buried these thoughts deep in her mind. To her, these matters that couldn’t be resolved by racking her brains were better left to fate.

No matter what she had experienced or endured in Qin Dong and Qian Zhiyuan’s memories, in this life, she too had been blessed with a rebirth!

Since they were now on an “equal starting line,” what was there to fear from others’ schemes and traps?!

“Look at you, what are you saying?” Wang Qin chided gently, her eyes softening with a touch of affection as an idea formed in her mind. She looked at Lin Mengting with a benevolent smile. “Actually, there’s a way to deal with Qin Dong once and for all.”

“What way?” Lin Mengting asked instinctively. She quickly understood Wang Qin’s teasing look and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“Auntie, where am I going to find such a broad-minded person who isn’t afraid of public opinion and is willing to sacrifice for others?”

“Fate will bring you someone,” Wang Qin said, chuckling with the wisdom of someone who had seen much in life.

“Tingting, you’re a good girl. And a good girl always attracts brave protectors.”

Since Lin Mengting moved in with Wang Qin, many of Wang Qin’s colleagues and friends had subtly or overtly inquired about her.

At their age, matchmaking was a favorite pastime.

Each one had countless names on their list, including children of relatives, neighbors, friends, and colleagues, whose personalities and traits they knew well.

Although the modern era no longer strictly adhered to “marrying within one’s class,” some still hesitated to have their children marry someone from another province.

Initially, when Lin Mengting moved into the residential compound, she didn’t have a stable job, and her sun-darkened skin made her look like a country bumpkin. Even if some showed interest, it was mainly to leverage Lin Yian and Wang Qin’s connections through her.

Recently, however, Lin Mengting had become fair-skinned and beautiful, with an inexplicable scholarly air, a good job, and a filial, sensible, and considerate nature. Some families with decent conditions started showing genuine interest.

But Wang Qin still didn’t think much of them. They, like the initial group, were too opportunistic, seeing Lin Mengting as a means to an end rather than appreciating her true qualities.

Such families would make it hard for Lin Mengting to have a happy married life.

Moreover, these families were easily swayed by gossip, and who could guarantee that after Qin Dong stirred up trouble again, they wouldn’t look at Lin Mengting with biased eyes?!

Introducing Lin Mengting to such families wouldn’t form a supportive alliance but would be a grave disservice to her.

Therefore, Wang Qin decided to wait a little longer.

When Lin Mengting became outstanding enough, if she still hadn’t met a capable, broad-minded, responsible man, Wang Qin would then step in and ask her trusted friends for help.
