Let's go back to a long time ago, more than twenty years ago.
The eldest daughter of the Wang family always had a tagalong, her cousin He Ling. He Ling was timid from a young age. As a child born into a large family, if she didn't have a strong personality, she would be easily bullied by the children who envied them.
However, He Ling was well protected, not by her parents, but by Wang Ci. Unlike He Ling, Wang Ci was strong-willed from a young age, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she had a queen-like personality. Under Wang Ci's wing, He Ling had a very good life from elementary school to high school.
Until the Xia Dynasty appeared.
The fiancé she had been betrothed to since childhood suddenly appeared before Wang Ci's eyes. It seemed that Wang Ci's attention to He Ling was completely stolen by Xia Chao overnight. Wang Ci went from thinking about breaking off the engagement with Xia Chao to trying every means to kill Xia Chao, and finally thought that marrying Xia Chao was not bad, at least he could make money.
From then on, Wang Ci had a person named Xia Chao by his side. Almost every time He Ling went to see Wang Ci, there would be a Xia Chao shamelessly sticking by Wang Ci's side.
He Ling was very friendly towards Xia Chao. From the beginning, she called him "brother-in-law" very naturally. Even on the day of Wang Ci and Xia Chao's engagement ceremony, when she wanted to lure Xia Chao to bed, she still called him "brother-in-law".
Xia Chao, his face dark, pushed away the naked He Ling and left. When he opened the door, he saw Wang Ci, who was expressionless. On that day, Wang Ci announced that he was severing all ties with He Ling, and that Wang Ci's wedding to Xia Chao would soon be held.
Things didn't go as He Ling had expected. She once asked Wang Ci, "In your heart, is the Xia Dynasty more important than me?"
“In my heart, Xia Chao is just a rich and foolish man.” Just when He Ling felt there was still hope, Wang Ci said without stopping, “But now, even if this rich and foolish man holds a very low place in my heart, he will still be more important than you.”
In short, He Ling felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She never went to the Wang family again, never looked for Wang Ci, and never appeared at Wang Ci and Xia Chao's wedding. It seemed that she had detached herself from Wang Ci's life.
Later, He Ling married into the Yan family and became Mrs. Yan. She gave birth to another daughter, but married life was boring in her eyes. As time went by, it became even more boring. Finally, at the moment when He Ling sent her child away, the conflict between her and the Yan family also broke out.
But in the end, she finally made it through; her husband died in an accident.
He Ling once visited an orphanage and met a pair of twin brothers. They did not look alike, and their personalities were also different. The timid younger brother always followed the easygoing older brother, just like He Ling and Wang Ci had been. Back then, He Ling was like this younger brother, always following the person she liked like a shadow.
He Ling suddenly had an idea. She adopted the two children, and told the outside world that they were two children from a collateral branch of the Yan family. These two children were Yan Ce and Yan Fei.
At that time, with the union of Xia Dynasty and Wang Ci, the businesses of the Xia and Wang families grew bigger and bigger. Just when the two families were at their peak, the actions of Xia Dynasty and Wang Ci suddenly slowed down.
Because they decided to spend more time with their children.
