The economic law exam was scheduled for Saturday from 5:30 to 7:30 in the afternoon.

When Jiang Ci arrived at the exam venue, she realized she hadn't brought her identity card. She couldn't remember where she had left it.

She was extremely reluctant to trouble Lu Yudong, but without his help, she wouldn't be able to take the exam.

She called Lu Yudong.

"Honey, could you help me find my identity card? I forgot to bring it." Despite her urgency, she tried to keep her voice low when speaking to Lu Yudong.

"Where's your brain?" Lu Yudong's voice was calm and indifferent.

"I didn't bring it, and it's really urgent. Please, I'm begging you," Jiang Ci pleaded.

"Hold on," Lu Yudong said before hanging up.

He turned to Yin Xuemo, who was sitting on the sofa, and said, "Wait downstairs for a moment."

"What's going on?" Yin Xuemo asked with feigned concern.

"Jiang Ci went for an exam and forgot her identity card," Lu Yudong replied as he headed upstairs.

"Really? Then you should quickly go look for it," Yin Xuemo said with a fake smile.

Yin Xuemo had come to the Lu family under the pretense of visiting Grandpa, who happened to be taking a nap.

She had intended to chat with Lu Yudong, and with Grandpa not around, it gave her the perfect opportunity.

As Lu Yudong was being ordered around by Jiang Ci to find her things upstairs, Yin Xuemo showed no expression, but inside, she was twisted with jealousy.

Lu Yudong searched everywhere but couldn't find it, so he asked Aunt Fang to help, thinking a woman would have a better idea of where things might be.

He noticed a suitcase on the balcony, which belonged to Jiang Ci.

He opened it easily, as the password was child's play for him.

He didn't find Jiang Ci's identity card, but he did find a notebook with a slightly worn cover.

Lu Yudong had a feeling something was off. Since Jiang Ci had hidden it in such a secretive place, he picked it up to read.

A photo fell out from inside. He picked it up and saw a very handsome man with a group of children. The man was strikingly good-looking.

"Sir, sir, Madam's identity card has been found. It was in the inner pocket of her old canvas bag, the one she washed, in the bathroom," Aunt Fang's cheerful voice came from behind Lu Yudong.

His thoughts were interrupted.

"You take it to her. I'll send you the address. Take a cab."

"Okay," Aunt Fang said before heading downstairs.

As she passed through the living room, Yin Xuemo saw Aunt Fang's hurried demeanor and asked, "What's going on, Aunt Fang? Where are you going?"

"Oh, Madam's identity card was found, and I'm taking it to her," Aunt Fang replied, quickly making her way out.

Yin Xuemo thought to herself: Since the identity card has been found, why hasn't Lu Yudong come down yet?

At that moment, Lu Yudong was upstairs reading the diary, which was quite thick and seemed to record three years' worth of entries.

The owner of the diary was named Shao Zheng.

His name and home address were written on the cover.

Shao Zheng—this was the first time Lu Yudong had heard this name.

Three years ago, Shao Zheng met that pure girl with the bright eyes and radiant smile, and he fell in love with her at first sight.

They later started dating, studied together, ate in the cafeteria together, built snowmen in winter, and swam together in summer.

They were the most harmonious couple in the world;

The girl even met Shao Zheng's parents, and they were just waiting for the day to register their marriage...

Until Shao Zheng graduated and went to teach in the mountains.

Almost every diary entry had a nickname: Little Ci.

Little Ci was Shao Zheng's girlfriend.

Little Ci was Jiang Ci.

Shao Zheng's love letters to Little Ci were passionate and tender, filled with compassion for the children in the mountains and a benevolent heart.

The last diary entry was only half a page, then it turned into Jiang Ci's handwriting: We planned to register our marriage after graduation, but you will never return!

Shao Zheng's greatest wish was to provide 200 computers for the children at the school...

Jiang Ci's note was: I will definitely help you fulfill it.

Lu Yudong's mind slowly replayed: The day Grandpa came, Jiang Ci returned in a hurry, not answering calls before that; then he asked her to move to Grandpa's house, and she asked for more money, which was unexpected for Lu Yudong, as it was the first time she haggled with him. If nothing else, that part of the money wasn't for her mother, but for her first love.

Realizing this, Lu Yudong clenched his fist tightly.

For the first time in his life, he felt like he was being played for a fool.

No wonder her attitude had been so gentle these past few days!

Pleasing him was just a facade; the real reason was to get money for her deceased ex-boyfriend!
