Meng Zhili's words were like the last straw that broke Tang Zhiyi's back.
She glared at Meng Zhili, her expression somewhat ferocious.
"Yes! This is the life I want!"
Sun Lu tugged at her, but Tang Zhiyi shook her off. She took a step forward and moved closer to Meng Zhili, who stood there looking down at her.
“My room is bigger than the entire rented apartment. I receive custom-made clothes every day, have personal servants, and even have a driver to pick me up and drop me off at school. Just by changing my surname, my life has undergone a complete transformation. This is the life I want!”
"I feel nauseous just thinking about that stinky rented room! You have no idea how happy I am to have escaped that kind of life!"
Meng Zhili pursed his lips, his face pale. He couldn't understand where things had gone wrong to make Tang Zhiyi like this.
As if making a final decision, Meng Zhili looked at her, his eyes filled with disappointment and sadness. "Fine, then let's do as you said, from now on, let's pretend we don't know each other."
Meng Zhili's Adam's apple bobbed. "I wish you happiness."
After saying that, he turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
Tang Zhiyi stood there, muttering to herself as if possessed.
"Yes, this is the life I want. As long as I can live a life of luxury and wealth, what else matters? Now, I can get whatever I want just by saying a word. Whether it's 30,000, 300,000, or even 3 million, it's all just a matter of a word!"
"Zhiyi...are you alright?" Sun Lu stood to the side, calling out to her somewhat timidly.
"I'm fine, Lulu. My driver has arrived, so I'll be leaving now. I'm sorry about all the unpleasant things that happened today. I'll invite you to my house this weekend." Tang Zhiyi was smiling, but Sun Lu felt a chill run down her spine for some reason.
"Well, don't overthink it, it's okay." Sun Lu smiled and watched Tang Zhiyi get into the car.
"See you tomorrow." Tang Zhiyi waved, and Sun Lu waved mechanically until Tang Zhiyi left before getting into the car.
After a day, she roughly understood the Tang family's attitude towards Tang Zhiyi. Now it seemed that whose surname was Tang didn't matter. But since things had come to this, she could only try to gain as much benefit as possible.
You can't do business at a loss, right? Meng Wan!
The commotion at the school gate finally subsided, and Meng Zhili boarded the bus home alone.
"Brother, there are still seats in the back." The children's voices attracted Meng Zhili. He looked up and saw two children who looked about seven or eight years old.
"Little sister, sit inside." The older brother held his sister's hand, protecting her like a knight.
In a daze, I saw him from the past and Tang Zhiyi, who was still surnamed Meng at that time.
"Brother, over here." Meng Zhiyi sat in the chair and waved to Meng Zhili.
"Mm." Meng Zhili, carrying a backpack and holding a pink backpack in his hand, swiped his card before sitting down next to Meng Zhiyi.
"I told them today that I have three older brothers, but they didn't believe me. Could you take me to class with my third brother tomorrow?"
Most of the time, the four of them went to school together, but after school, Meng Zhili would accompany Meng Zhiyi. One reason was that Meng Zhiyuan was the class monitor and had to stay after school to supervise hygiene, while Meng Zhilian was simply too troublesome and was often punished by the teacher with detention.
The four siblings have a very good relationship, but if you had to pick one, Meng Zhiyi's most trusted and favorite brother is Meng Zhili. The eldest brother is a bit serious, and the third brother is too mischievous, so only Meng Zhili is the easiest to talk to and loves her the most.
"Okay, I'll talk to them when they get back." Sure enough, Meng Zhili readily agreed.
"Sweetie said her mom brought her some chocolate from abroad, and I want some too."
"Don't you dislike chocolate because you think it's bitter?"
"I don't care, I want it! I want the imported kind, not the ordinary kind."
Meng Zhili sighed and nodded. Thinking back, similar scenarios had occurred quite a few times. But because Meng Zhiyi was the only girl in the Meng family, adhering to the principle of raising girls with abundance, the Meng family had always granted her every request.
At that time, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Although they would sometimes tell Meng Zhiyi not to compare herself to others, they would eventually give up lecturing her because she would act cute.
Until elementary school, Meng Zhiyi didn't do anything too outrageous except for a few minor acts of whining and pouting. But after she entered middle school, she seemed to become a completely different person.
She began to tire of taking the bus to school every day.
"I don't care, just give me a driver. The bus stinks, all those people's sweat makes me want to throw up. Dad, Mom, you love me the most, just give me a driver."
“But your brother and the others went through the same thing.” Although the Meng family was well-off, they were not extravagant. From childhood, they always encouraged their children to take their own transportation to and from school, so as not to spoil them.
"But it really doesn't feel comfortable. Besides, my brothers are boys and I'm a girl, how can we be the same?" Tang Zhiyi shook Qin Yi's arm and pouted.
"If all else fails, let's get Zhiyi a driver. Middle school students have started morning exercises, and with the recent hot weather, buses get crowded and crammed together, so it's understandable that Zhiyi can't stand the sour smell. We boys are used to it, so it's not a big deal," Meng Zhili said, standing to the side and trying to persuade him.
“She’s always been a bit spoiled, and it’s not like we don’t have the money, so let’s just get her one.” Meng Zhilian dribbled the basketball twice and made a shooting motion.
"Then let's get one," Meng Boqun decided.
