Chapter 106: Unable to Escape

Zhao Meihua turned to leave, but her escape was thwarted.

Gu Dongqing, having orchestrated this event, wouldn’t let her go so easily.

Realizing she was cornered, Zhao Meihua resorted to a familiar tactic – creating a scene. She began to wail, “Is there any law?

Stopping people from walking in broad daylight? Is there any justice?” She threw herself on the ground, slapping the floor, a standard act of theatrics.

Jiang Meixin watched, mortified. She had finally gone to college, but why couldn’t she have parents who were educated and respectable? Why was she the child of a foolish woman like Zhao Meihua?

Comrade Zhao Meihua,” the town police intervened, pulling her up. “You and your daughter conspired to steal another person’s admission notice and impersonate them to go to college. The case is under investigation. Please cooperate with us.”

The police remained professional, but Zhao Meihua exploded upon hearing this. “What? What? Who said that?” She instinctively looked at Jiang Meixin, then at Jiang Mingyue.

Jiang Erya, do you have any morals? It was my Meixin who got into college, don’t accuse her unjustly!”

Zhao Meihua’s arrogance remained, but her words held no weight against the silver handcuffs that were now clasped onto Jiang Meixin’s wrists.

The sight of her daughter in cuffs sent a wave of fear through Zhao Meihua, her legs trembling.

Beautiful… beautiful heart…” she cried out, seeking help from her daughter, the college student.

Jiang Meixin, however, turned away, her attitude clear: she couldn’t help her mother.

Zhao Meihua finally understood her daughter’s message, but it was too late.

Both Zhao Meihua and Jiang Meixin were taken away.

The onlookers, instead of dispersing, gathered in front of Jiang’s stall, questioning the truth of the police’s statement.

Jiang Mingyue smiled, “We wouldn’t dare to make this up, would we?”

They wouldn’t even dare to imagine such a scheme. Jiang Meixin wouldn’t have pretended to be her for so long if they had.

It was only when Xu Xueyou came looking for her by mistake that the truth came to light.

The reason Jiang Meixin and her mother dared to go to college so boldly was because they knew Nanda was far away. Villagers like Jiang Meiyue and others would likely never visit the city. How could Jiang Meixin’s conspiracy be exposed?

In her previous life, Jiang Mingyue didn’t even know until her death that she had been admitted to college. She had unknowingly made wedding clothes for another.

Xu Xueyou was the key to exposing this matter, and Jiang Mingyue was grateful.

Xu Xueyou shook his head, unfazed by their thanks. His expression was calm, even tinged with sadness.

He was saddened by the realization that he had fallen for a deceitful criminal like Jiang Meixin. However, he had no regrets about revealing her deception.

My education taught me that I cannot turn a blind eye to such things. I did this to live up to my conscience.”

If he had ignored the truth because of his affection for Jiang Meixin, he would have wasted years of education.

Xu Xueyou left after bidding farewell, his mood subdued.

The crowd gradually dispersed, but Jiang Mingyue knew that the news of her impersonation would be a topic of conversation for a long time.

That was a good thing. Everyone now knew about the possibility of stealing admission notices.

In the future, they would be more careful when it came to their own children’s or relatives’ college entrance exams.

This would prevent similar incidents from happening.

Was this using her personal experience to teach others a lesson? Jiang Mingyue thought happily.

Wife, Nanda has agreed that if you want to go to school, you should continue your studies.”

That night, as Jiang Mingyue was getting ready for bed, Gu Dongqing put down his book, hugged her, and shared the news.

They were negligent in this matter. They are willing to retain your original student status.”

The school leaders were sincere. The opportunity to go to college was rare, and they were willing to make an exception for Jiang Mingyue, who had been rightfully admitted but tricked.

Could she still go to college?

Jiang Mingyue was touched, but thinking about her family, she shook her head and said, “I’m already married, why should I go to college?”

Wife…” Gu Dongqing held her shoulders, his face serious. “You don’t have to worry about your family. Even if you go to school, I can still take care of your children and grandparents at home.”

He sincerely hoped she wouldn’t have to worry about these things and urged her to consider her own aspirations.

Jiang Mingyue had already thought it through. “I’ll see Teacher Zhang and the others again when things settle down.”

Okay, we’re not in a hurry. It’s a holiday anyway. Teacher Zhang and Principal Xu said you can think about it slowly.” Gu Dongqing pulled her into a hug. “No matter what decision you make, wife, your husband will always stand by your side.”

Jiang Mingyue leaned her head against Gu Dongqing’s chest, her heart filled with emotion.

The children in her belly, as if sensing their mother’s feelings, kicked her excitedly.

Jiang Mingyue hissed, feeling a slight pain.

Gu Dongqing, noticing her discomfort, looked at her with a mixture of concern and amusement.

Are these two brats kicking their father? Don’t you agree with what they said?”

The kicks intensified.

Jiang Mingyue, a little hurt and amused, replied, “They haven’t been born yet, what’s the point of approval or disapproval?”

She didn’t want Gu Dongqing to say anything bad about the children.

Gu Dongqing clicked his tongue and hugged her tighter. “Mingyue, you are my wife. You can’t stand on the bastard’s side. You have to stand on my side.”

These two little bastards made it difficult for their father to even get married. The flowers and candles are all gone, but they still dare to torment you and have opinions against me.

I will definitely beat them up when they come out.
