Arranged marriage, love blossoms: Marrying into a wealthy family while holding a miniature version o

Zhou Yi later learned that they were classmates in the same year but different classes.

Bai Meng is two years older than her.

Because of Bai Meng that day, she told her grandmother, and her grandmother took her to thank Bai Meng in person.

At the time, she didn't know Bai Meng. Bai Meng left after helping her, and she and her grandmother only found out Bai Meng's address through the police.

Then she and her grandmother went to Bai Meng's house, only to find out that Bai Meng had no parents and had grown up with her uncle and aunt.

Bai Meng's aunt and uncle had a very negative opinion of her, basically saying that she was a problem girl, disobedient, and unruly, and that they would leave her to her own devices after she graduated from junior high school.

She does whatever she wants.

Grandma recounted how Bai Meng had saved her that day, and then gave fruit, gifts, and a reward to Bai Meng's uncle and aunt to thank them for raising such a wonderful girl.

She and her grandmother didn't stay long; after sitting for a while, they left.

After leaving Bai Meng's aunt and uncle's house, her grandmother told her that if she met that girl again, she should be very grateful to her.

Without that girl, I don't know what would happen.

This is a debt of gratitude that will last a lifetime; she will remember it forever.

She told her grandmother that she was lucky to have a grandmother, while Bai Meng only had her uncle and aunt.

Grandma sighed and said that everyone has their own fate, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

Life.

She didn't quite understand at the time, but she knew that Bai Meng wasn't as lucky as her.

She continued attending school as usual, but just before the high school entrance exam, she saw Bai Meng.

That day, she happened to be in the teacher's office putting away the test papers when she saw Bai Meng standing in front of the math teacher's desk, looking completely indifferent.

Her math teacher was trying to persuade her, saying that she was very smart and that she could get into a good high school with just a little effort.

High school is very important; it determines the fate of her entire life. She can't just give up like this.

The teacher disagreed with her dropping out of school, and she insisted that her uncle and aunt come to help her drop out.

At the time, she didn't know that Bai Meng was in the same school as her, or even in the same grade. That day, when she went to Bai Meng's uncle and aunt's house with her grandmother, Bai Meng's uncle and aunt didn't mention that Bai Meng was in school. They only said that she played all day long and caused trouble outside.

So at the time, she thought Bai Meng wasn't in school.

But after hearing what the math teacher said to Bai Meng, she realized that Bai Meng was in the same school and grade but in a different class.

She put the test paper down and left, waiting for Bai Meng outside.

After waiting for a long time, Bai Meng finally appeared.

Bai Meng glanced at her once and then left, as if she didn't know her.

She called out to Bai Meng, who stopped, then turned around and smiled at her, just like the smile she had given when she slumped to the ground that day and said hello, "I am Bai Meng"—unrestrained and carefree.

She said, "Zhou Yi, we are both orphans, but our paths are different. You study hard and walk your sunny road, while I walk my narrow bridge."

Let's never meet again.

After saying that, Bai Meng left.

She never saw Bai Meng again after that. The next time she heard news about Bai Meng was when she was in her first year of high school. She was told that Bai Meng had killed someone and gone to prison.

When she learned of this, she inquired and found out it was an accidental murder, for which he was sentenced to ten years.

She inquired about the prison where Bai Meng was and told her grandmother that she wanted to visit Bai Meng. Her grandmother then said she would go with her.

Grandma prepared food and supplies and went with her to visit Bai Meng in prison. Bai Meng had cut her hair into a buzz cut, had grown taller and thinner, and even had injuries on her face.

But she still seemed indifferent to everything, and continued to laugh so unrestrainedly.

She was a little surprised when she saw her and her grandmother, saying that she didn't expect them to be the first people to come to see her.

After saying that, Bai Meng said to her, "Zhou Yi, go out for a bit. I need to say a few words to your grandmother."

She obediently went out, and then her grandmother called her in, saying that Bai Meng had something to say to her.

Grandma didn't leave; she was right beside her. Bai Meng smiled and said to her, "Zhou Yi, study hard, work hard after you've studied, and make money. This is your path. Walk your path well and don't come to see me again."

After saying that, Bai Meng got up and left.

She watched Bai Meng leave; her figure was slender yet proud, like a lone pine tree growing on a cliff, unyielding no matter the wind or rain.

She left with her grandmother. She asked her grandmother what Bai Meng had said, and her grandmother said that she was a good girl, but she was born into the wrong family.

She didn't ask anymore.

The senior year of high school was very demanding, and many things happened, but she would take time to buy things for Bai Meng at the prison and ask the staff there to give them to her.

She wanted to see Bai Meng, but Bai Meng wouldn't see her.

She then delivered things inside until the end of this year.

At this moment, Zhou Yi looked at the person leaning against the door frame, a head taller than her, still laughing wildly and unrestrainedly, and her eyes were filled with joy.

"Bai Meng, when did you come out?"

Bai Meng was sentenced to ten years. She thought Bai Meng would really spend the full ten years in prison, but it turned out to be only a few years. This is really great.

"I've been out for a while now."

After saying that, she watched as Wenren Chen walked over with steady steps.

Bai Meng smiled and looked at Zhou Yi: "Dinner with your man?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi remembered what Bai Meng had just said.

Bai Meng misunderstood, thinking that she and her husband were in a relationship, and quickly said, "No, he is my..."

"Bai Meng? Are you done yet? Everyone's waiting for you!"

A loud male voice came from inside the private room. Bai Meng looked in impatiently and threw her cigarette at the man inside: "What's the rush for me to talk? Are you in a hurry to take a dump?"

Upon hearing her words, the private room erupted in laughter.

Zhou Yi smiled too.

Bai Meng was still the same as before. She was worried that Bai Meng would be affected after coming out of the prison, but thankfully, she was fine.

Nothing has changed.

The people inside stopped urging her, and Bai Meng turned her gaze back to Zhou Yi: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Zhou Yi smiled and her eyes crinkled instantly: "Yes, I saw it."

Bai Meng looked at her smile, her expression becoming more serious, and said, "I originally wanted to treat you to a meal, but after hearing that you're doing well, I decided against it. Seeing you today, there's even less reason to treat you."

Zhou Yi smiled broadly: "No need. If anyone should be treating you to dinner, it should be me. If it weren't for you back then, I..."

Bai Meng raised her hand, interrupting Zhou Yi directly: "Stop."

"Don't mention things that are easy to do. I'm relieved to see that you're doing well now."

After speaking, her gaze fell on Wenren Chen, who had already stopped beside Zhou Yi. A casual smile appeared on her lips, but her eyes were incredibly sharp: "Handsome, I don't care who you are, but our Zhou Yi is a good girl. If you dare to bully her, I, Bai Meng, dare to do things you can't even imagine."
