Chapter 2: A Marriage into a Wealthy Family Awaits

Su Mei, her mother, chatted for a while but didn't hear her daughter utter a word, so she began to worry once more.

"Are you still feeling unwell?"

"Hurry! Get back into bed. Mom will go fetch the doctor."

As she spoke, Su Mei helped Meng Yitong back into bed.

Then she quickly rose to get the doctor.

"I'm okay," Meng Yitong said, quickly grabbing her arm to stop her.

Hearing this, Su Mei still looked worried and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you're okay? If you're not feeling well, tell Mom. You've been through so much this time..."

Listening to Su Mei's nagging yet loving words, Meng Yitong felt warmth in her heart and couldn't help but secretly envy the girl named 'Yi Yi.'

Only someone surrounded by so much love could turn out like this, she thought.

Noticing her daughter was lost in thought, Su Mei gently patted her arm and continued, "Did you hear me, sweetie?"

"Yes, Mom, I heard you."

Hearing this, Meng Yitong easily called out 'Mom.'

Meng Yitong thought, if this was a dream, she wished it would never end.

From her mother's repetitive words, Meng Yitong finally understood the entire story.

Her cousin had been arranged by the family to marry into a wealthy household. The groom was a young and promising heir to a wealthy family, but unfortunately, he had been scalded as a child, leaving half of his face disfigured, and his temper had grown increasingly dark and strange.

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

As the wedding date approached and the cousin was still nowhere to be found, the family decided to shift the marriage onto her.

She refused, and during the argument, she cursed the cousin a few times, which led to the cousin's younger brother pushing her. Her head hit the corner of the coffee table, and she died on the spot.

When she woke up again, it was Meng Yitong who had crossed over. The scene of a group of people fighting that Meng Yitong saw before she fainted was not a dream but something that really happened after she fell.

Looking at her mother's furious expression, Meng Yitong couldn't help but think, if she was this heartbroken just knowing that she was injured, how devastated would this mother be if she knew her daughter was already gone?

Su Mei looked at her daughter, who had been silent since waking up, and couldn't stop worrying.

Su Mei thought it would be best to let her daughter rest a bit more while she went to ask the doctor.

After all, the brain is different from other parts of the body, and Yi Yi had hit her head so hard this time. If there was really something wrong, it would be terrible.

"Yi Yi, rest a bit more. Mom will be out for a while."

As she spoke, Su Mei hurriedly walked out.

"Mom, where's my phone?"

Seeing this, Meng Yitong quickly called out.

Having inherited no memories, Meng Yitong hoped to use this time to learn more about herself through her phone.

Su Mei, who had already reached the door of the ward, turned back. She took a phone out of her handbag, handed it to Meng Yitong, and said, "Don't play with your phone too much. Rest well. Mom will be back soon."

With that, she rushed off.

Meng Yitong nodded in agreement, but the moment she had the phone in her hands, she eagerly powered it on.

The phone featured facial recognition and unlocked with a swipe. It was packed with social media apps, and she appeared to be quite the socialite.

Each app was marked with a red "99+" in the corner.

The screen was awash with red notifications, and Meng Yitong felt a rush of excitement.

Being sociable has its perks, she mused, as it would help her gather more intel from the chats.

Meng Yitong went straight to WeChat and started browsing the original owner's friend circle and her chat records.

But soon, Meng Yitong's face froze in shock.

Wow, when she first saw the original owner in the mirror, she thought she was a sweet and bubbly princess.

Little did she know, in private, she was quite the wild child—nightclubs, racing, and parties were just the tip of the iceberg. She was also a die-hard fan, not only splurging monthly on premium merch but also a vocal critic of rival stars.

On top of that, she had a young man on the side who bore a resemblance to a top star.

Now, this guy was hitting her up for cash on WeChat.

"Hey sis, I spotted these awesome shoes yesterday."

Meng Yitong clicked the link—it led to a pair of sneakers priced at over eight grand.

Meng Yitong held her breath and scrolled up, finding that every time this young man sent such messages to the original owner, she would buy it for him without hesitation.

The shopping records showed items ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands, which made her heart ache.

It's worth noting that before her transmigration, Meng Yitong had never worn clothes that cost more than 1000 yuan.

Now seeing an unrelated boy asking for such expensive shoes, Meng Yitong immediately blocked him without a second thought.

On the other side, the boy who was blocked was now staring in confusion at his unsent chat messages, not understanding why the senior who was chatting well with him yesterday suddenly blocked him today.

From the original owner's phone records, Meng Yitong also learned that the original owner shared her name, also called Meng Yitong, was 21 years old, and was a senior student at the Capital Dance Academy.

She also had an 18-year-old younger brother, Meng Yuanliang, who was a poor student, and both siblings were the type who were all looks and no substance.

The original owner's cousin, Meng Wanbai, was 24 years old, had been tutored by famous teachers since childhood, and was a well-known talented woman in the upper-class circles.

The cousin's father, also the original owner's second uncle, Meng Mingyu, was astute and capable, not only serving as the general manager of the group but also the future heir of the family.

The original owner's father, Meng Jianjun, although the eldest son, was a marginal figure in the family, only handling miscellaneous logistical work in the group.

The cousin's brother, Meng Yuansi, and younger brother, Meng Gaoxuan, were also elites trained according to the family heir standards.

Compared to the original owner's family, the cousin's family was the core and face of the family. So when it came to family alliances, others were also interested in the cousin's family.

As for the original owner's family, if they weren't still living in the old mansion, they might not even be considered part of the wealthy family.

After all, no wealthy second-generation heir would have a monthly allowance of only fifty thousand, and the original owner had even incurred a lot of debt to maintain appearances.
