Chapter 2: There’s a Wealthy Family Waiting for Marriage

Meng Yitong’s original mother, Su Mei, had been talking for a long while without hearing a response from her daughter, and she couldn’t help but worry.

“Do you still feel unwell anywhere?”

“Quick! Come, lie back down on the bed, and I’ll go call the doctor.”

Su Mei said as she gently helped Meng Yitong back onto the bed.

She then hurriedly stood up, preparing to go call the doctor.

“I’m fine.” Meng Yitong quickly reached out to stop her.

Su Mei, still clearly uneasy, asked uncertainly, “Are you really okay? If you’re uncomfortable, you must tell me. You’ve suffered such a huge loss this time…”

Hearing Su Mei’s concerned and loving words, Meng Yitong couldn’t help but feel warm inside, secretly envying the girl called “Yiyi.”

It must be people surrounded by such love that grow up to look like this, right?

Seeing her daughter lost in thought, Su Mei lightly patted her arm and continued, “Did you hear what Mom said?”

“Mhm, I heard, Mom.”

Meng Yitong answered without hesitation, calling out “Mom” naturally.

She thought to herself, if this were a dream, she would want to keep dreaming.

From Su Mei’s constant talking, Meng Yitong finally understood the entire situation.

The original body had a cousin, who was arranged for a family marriage. The groom was a young and capable heir to a wealthy family, but unfortunately, he had been disfigured by a burn when he was younger, leaving half of his face scarred. His temperament had become increasingly gloomy and eccentric.

The cousin didn’t want to marry him, so she ran away.

As the wedding day drew closer, and with no sign of the cousin, the whole family placed the marriage responsibility on the original body.

The original body didn’t want to go through with it, and during the argument, she scolded her cousin a few times, which led to the cousin’s younger brother—Meng Yitong’s cousin—pushing her. The original body’s head hit the edge of a coffee table, and she died on the spot.

When Meng Yitong woke up, she had transmigrated into this body. The scene she had seen before fainting—people fighting—was not a dream but something that happened after the original body collapsed.

Looking at Su Mei, who was fuming with anger, Meng Yitong couldn’t help but think, if Su Mei was this heartbroken just knowing the original body was injured, how devastated would she be if she knew the original body was gone?

Su Mei, seeing her daughter silent since waking up, couldn’t stop worrying.

She thought it might be best to let her daughter rest a bit more before she went to ask the doctor.

After all, the brain was different from other parts of the body, and with how hard Yiyi had hit her head this time, if there was any real issue, that would be terrible.

“Yiyi, rest a little longer, Mom’s going out for a bit.”

Su Mei said as she rushed out the door.

“Mom, where’s my phone?”

Meng Yitong quickly called out when she saw Su Mei heading out.

Since Meng Yitong didn’t inherit any memories, she just wanted to use this time to learn more about the original body through the phone.

Su Mei, already at the door of the room, turned back and pulled a phone from her handbag. She handed it to Meng Yitong, saying, “Don’t play with your phone too much, take a good rest. I’ll be back soon.”

She then hurriedly walked out.

Meng Yitong promised she would, but as soon as she took the phone, she couldn’t wait to unlock it.

The phone had facial recognition, and with a swipe, it was unlocked automatically. The original body’s phone had many social apps, and it seemed like she was quite the social butterfly.

Each app had a red “99+” notification in the corner.

Meng Yitong felt a little excited seeing the flood of red notifications.

Being social was a good thing—it meant she could learn more from the chat logs.

She opened WeChat and started browsing through the original body’s Moments and chat records.

However, not long after, the expression on Meng Yitong’s face froze completely.

Wow, she had thought that the original body looked like a naive, innocent little princess when she saw her reflection in the mirror.

But it turned out she lived a much wilder life in private. Nightclubs, car races, parties—those weren’t even a big deal to her. She was also a huge fan of a top-tier celebrity, spending a fortune on celebrity merchandise every month and a fierce critic of the rival fanbase.

Not only that, but she was also supporting a young male celebrity who somewhat resembled the top-tier star.

Now, this young celebrity was asking for money from her on WeChat.

“Sister, I saw a pair of shoes yesterday. They’re really pretty.”

Meng Yitong clicked the link and saw that the shoes cost over 8,000 yuan.

She held her breath and scrolled up, realizing that every time this young man messaged the original body asking for something, she would buy it for him without hesitation.

The shopping records showed items ranging from a few hundred to several thousand yuan, making her feel a pang in her heart.

Meng Yitong had never spent over 1,000 yuan on clothes before in her past life. To see an unrelated guy asking for such expensive shoes from the original body without a second thought made her angry, so she immediately blocked him.

On the other side, the blocked young man stared at his failed messages, completely baffled as to why the older sister, who had been chatting with him so well yesterday, suddenly blocked him today.

From the phone records, Meng Yitong also discovered that the original body and she shared the same name, Meng Yitong. She was 21 years old and a senior at the Capital Dance Academy.

She also had an 18-year-old younger brother, Meng Yuanliang, who was a poor student with no real skills, just like her.

The original body’s cousin, Meng Wanbai, was 24 years old and had been trained by a famous teacher since childhood. She was a renowned talent in high society.

Her cousin’s father, Meng Mingyu, was a capable man who worked as the general manager of a corporation and was the future heir of the family.

The original body’s father, Meng Jianjun, though the eldest son, was a peripheral figure in the family, holding a low-level position in the company.

The cousin’s brothers, Meng Yuansi and Meng Gaoxuan, were both elite heirs being groomed to take over the family business.

Compared to the original body’s family, her cousin’s family was the core and face of the family. So, when it came time for a family marriage, it was the cousin’s family that was sought after.

As for the original body’s family, if they weren’t still living in the old family home, they might not even be considered a wealthy family.

After all, no rich second-generation heir had a monthly allowance of only 50,000 yuan, and the original body had incurred a lot of debt just to maintain appearances.
