Chapter 21 -21: My Sister’s Cooking Tastes Really Good

“I’m fine.” Liang Xiao responded stubbornly to Mei Mengzhen’s words, but it was mostly out of fear that Mei Mengzhen would worry.

Mei Mengzhen didn’t believe it, “If you’re fine, then why is there a slap mark on your face? I’m not blind. Did Liang Qianjin hit you? Did you fight back?”

“It wasn’t her— it was, it was my mom who hit me.”

“So your mom hit you just because Liang Qianjin was spouting nonsense? Otherwise, why would she hit you?”

Mei Mengzhen had undergone quite a few personality changes, and as close girlfriends who shared everything with each other, given her understanding of Mei Mengzhen, she felt that something was very off about the person before her, “You, you…”

“What about me? Do you think I’ve changed a lot? Without my parents, if we continue to act like before, you and I will be bullied to death, believe it or not.”

Believe it, of course, she believed it, but the change was too drastic, and all too sudden, “But…”

Ah, Mei Mengzhen couldn’t help but sigh. Despite how Liang Xiao looked now, all fidgety and intensely frustrating, she had also been like this before. Since their personalities and experiences were so similar and they grew up together, they naturally hit it off. Moreover, her own transformation into who she is now did not happen overnight.

In her past life, Liang Xiao had helped her out quite a bit. The two of them had even started a small business together, and after earning some money, her personality gradually became much more cheerful.

Once a personality changes, it’s hard to suppress it again, especially a constrained personality. Mei Mengzhen certainly had no desire to go back to being that way, so she simply didn’t pretend, letting things be as they may. After all, she was still herself, just a bit more cheerful, plus she had her memories from before, so nothing was likely to go wrong.

“Xiaoxiao, what are your plans for the future?” Mei Mengzhen asked with some concern.

Liang Xiao fell into deep thought for a while before saying, “I want to leave this place, get far away from them.”

“That’s a good idea,” but it was not going to be easy.

In her past life, Liang Xiao did just that. Her grades were similar to Mei Mengzhen’s; Mei Mengzhen didn’t make it to university because of an accident, while Liang Xiao did. But, indeed, Liang Qianjin didn’t, and in order to let her darling daughter go to college, Liang Qianjin’s mother made her take over Liang Xiao’s spot.

It would have been one thing if that were all, but oh, not to say that replacing her to attend college was right, but just in one year, Liang Qianjin, masquerading under Liang Xiao’s student registry, was expelled from the school.

And coincidentally, Liang Xiao, under the guise of Liang Qianjin’s name, got admitted to university again, this time to an even better one. How could her mother possibly let Liang Xiao go to school then? No way, and so Liang Xiao was forced once again to give up her dream of going to college, and Liang Qianjin seamlessly continued her university career. It was after this incident that Liang Xiao decided to leave her family for good.

Later, until her death, Liang Xiao had no contact with her family again. Maybe that incident really shattered her heart.

“Right?” Liang Xiao did not expect to receive such a response from Mei Mengzhen.

“If you really think that way, you have to be determined. To put it bluntly, with your sister’s grades, who knows if your mom will give her your admission notice to attend school.”

Liang Xiao looked at Mei Mengzhen in shock; clearly, she had never considered this possibility, “Can you even replace someone in the college entrance exam?”

“Of course not, but it’s not about replacing someone in the exam; it’s just switching faces to attend school, so why not?”

Mei Mengzhen had a point because Liang Xiao and Liang Qianjin were indeed identical, even the moles on their faces were in the same spot. It was just that the sisters had different personalities, which gave them different auras. So, those who knew them could tell them apart at a glance.

But that was for those who knew them. For those who didn’t, with just their faces, who could tell the difference?

Liang Xiao fell into contemplation. Yeah, something like that really could happen in their family. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Even though they were twins, why did her parents favor her sister over her? She did not know what she had done wrong. Darling daughter, darling daughter; if her sister was the precious daughter to her parents, what was she, a joke to them?

The sorrow deeply buried in her heart surged forth, and Liang Xiao could no longer hold back her tears.

Mei Mengzhen really didn’t expect a few words would make Liang Xiao cry, recalling her past life where Liang Xiao was a strong woman who didn’t cry even when she was replaced twice in the college entrance exam. Instead, she consoled Mei Mengzhen, who was burdened with debt. Why had she become so fragile in this life? Or had she struck a nerve in Liang Xiao, causing her to cry?

She tried to remember, and yes, in this life, Liang Xiao was only 17, far from the mentality she had at 20. A child of that age, no matter how much their parents disliked them, still hoped for more love and care from them. She wanted to help, but her approach was too hasty.

Mei Mengzhen regretted her hasty words, “I’m sorry, I was just saying. Don’t take it seriously.”

Liang Xiao sniffled, “It’s not that; what you said could really happen. You’ve actually alerted me to the possibility. But, what should I do?”

What to do, “Chill about it.”

“Look at me, not to exaggerate, but after our parents died, they only left us two 3200 yuan, and our relatives came to claim their share of this house yesterday. Our house is big, sure, but it’s in a small district. Everyone knows how much it’s worth, and I know how much I’ll get. Plus, I have a younger brother. My life is no easier than yours. And yet, we must go on. Did you see the cart outside when you came in? We drag vegetables to the market in the middle of the day.

Who at our age needs to do this kind of work? You, at least for now, don’t worry about food or living expenses. Some things you just have to tackle as they come. Since you have this thought, just be prepared ahead of time. It’s no big deal.”

The inheritance from their parents was more than just that—it included a mountain of debt, only that nobody was asking for the money right now.

Oh, of course, she might have assumed the debt in her past life, but now, understanding the origin, she wouldn’t take on this debt in this life. However, since no one was coming for the money yet, this issue could wait.

Seeing that Liang Xiao was really not in a good place emotionally, Mei Mengzhen encouraged, “Now that you’re here, why don’t you stay for dinner at my place?”

Staying for dinner wasn’t a big deal, but after just hearing how Mei Mengzhen was struggling, how could she have the face to stay for dinner, “No need, no need, I’ll eat at home.”

“You won’t be able to eat well if you go home in this state. We might be poor, but we still have food. Just eat here, Chenchen, ask your sister Xiaoxiao to stay for dinner.”

Mei Mengchen obediently persuaded, “Sister Liang, please stay and have dinner with us. My sister is a great cook.”
