Qiao Yanzhi was still confused. She tried hard to recall the face, but she had no memory of it.
Meng Qingyue then said, "No wonder. You two sisters come from prestigious families and have always been superior to others. How could you possibly remember ordinary people like us?"
"Fine, then I'll ask you another way. What did my sister and I do to provoke such retaliation from you?"
Meng Qingyue clenched her left hand, her eyes filled with hatred, as if she were recalling something that would haunt her for the rest of her life.
"If you don't remember me, do you remember Meng Lixin?"
Qiao Yanzhi felt that the name was very familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, she instantly remembered who the girl was.
She was Mingzhu's classmate in junior high school.
She and Mingzhu went to the same school; she was in the third year of junior high, and Mingzhu was in the second year.
Meng Lixin stole money from her classmate in the dormitory, amounting to over 10,000 yuan.
In that era, 10,000 yuan was not a small amount; it could constitute a very serious theft criminal case.
The dormitory manager found 10,000 yuan in cash in Meng Lixin's schoolbag, catching her red-handed. The teacher, enraged, called the police.
The police took Meng Lixin away, and she was sentenced to three years in prison.
Qiao Yanzhi explained how she came to know Meng Lixin.
Meng Qingyue's usually ruthless eyes finally showed a hint of emotion; her sister had not been completely forgotten by the world.
“I am her older sister.”
Tang Yaoyao and Qiao Yanzhi had already guessed that perhaps Meng Lixin was the trigger that made Meng Qingyue commit so many evil deeds.
Meng Qingyue thought of her younger sister, and a rare, barely perceptible tenderness appeared in her eyes: "We were abandoned by our parents when we were young and grew up in an orphanage. We had no family background, no power or influence, and we lived diligently from a young age. We made a promise to study hard, make something of ourselves in the future, and get rid of our hard life."
"Lixin and I are ranked second or third in the whole grade, just behind you and Qiao Mingzhu. Lixin and I want to be friends, and we want to be friends with you, but every time we approach you, we are ignored. Qiao Yanzhi, do you know what I hate most is your aloof and arrogant attitude that keeps people at arm's length?"
Qiao Yanzhi didn't remember her at all. The only reason she remembered Meng Lixin was because she had gone to jail. At that time, the news of junior high school students going to jail was all over the place, so it was hard not to know about it.
Hearing this, she laughed: "What rule requires me to greet everyone with a smile?"
Friendship was something she never deserved at that time.
She clearly remembered that her father once said that her and Mingzhu's identities meant they were destined never to meet true friends who would help them.
At that time, she didn't believe it.
She became good friends with a classmate who had always been kind to her, and took her home to play. However, she sneaked into her father's study and stole important documents, causing her father to lose nearly ten million.
She then understood why her father said that she and her sister could not have it.
From then on, she and her sister took this as a constant warning, sealing their hearts away and feigning indifference towards everyone.
Meng Qingyue was lost in her own world. She continued, "It's fine if you two sisters look down on us, but back then, Lixin didn't steal anything from them at all. Lixin was framed. And your sister Mingzhu knew the truth but concealed it, which led to Lixin going to prison. Unable to bear the bitterness in prison, she committed suicide."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yanzhi was taken aback. She absolutely refused to believe that Mingzhu would conceal the truth.
