After three years of misplaced affection, Mrs. Yu is no longer willing to pretend to be obedient.

Wearing her torn dress, Jane Ailing returned to her room and, while soaking in the bathtub, couldn't help but burst into tears.

She couldn't understand how her carefree life could have been shattered and left in such a mess on that day.

She desperately tried to salvage the situation, to pick up the pieces, but all that remained were shards of glass, which cut her and caused her to bleed profusely.

Jane Ailing is the youngest child in the Jane family, with an older brother and an older sister.

Although she wasn't spoiled by her family growing up, her parents still granted her every wish. When she wanted to learn to dance, they hired the best dance teacher for her; when she liked photography, her father bought her the best camera.

But Jane knew that she was the only child in the family who had never been given high hopes.

Her eldest brother, Jensen, was arranged to inherit the family business from a young age and was groomed to be their father's successor.

Her older sister, Jane Aiying, perfectly inherited her mother's outstanding looks and grew into a graceful young woman. From a young age, she began taking various piano and etiquette lessons, as her parents wanted to cultivate her into a refined socialite and arrange a marriage between her and a wealthy and influential family in Longcheng.

The older brother and sister did not disappoint their parents' expectations. Relatives and friends all remember that their family had a steady and capable son and a beautiful, gentle and virtuous daughter.

Her youngest daughter had neither her brother's talent nor her sister's beauty, and was often forgotten by the rest of the family.

At gatherings or dinner parties, Jian Ailing has become accustomed to sitting quietly to one side and eating her meal.

It seems that her parents don't have any special expectations or plans for her. It's as if all they want is for her to stay out of trouble and not do anything that will cause trouble for the family.

Sometimes, her older sister would intentionally or unintentionally express her envy, saying that she also wanted to be that free and unrestrained.

But Jane Ailing felt that she was actually quite envious of her older sister. Even though she was still a child, she could sense the difference in how much attention her parents paid to the three children.

As she grew older, Jane wanted to try her best to impress her parents. She studied hard, achieved excellent grades, and tried various methods to make her parents happy.

But this didn't change much; she was still the least valued one in the family.

As they grew older, Jane and Jane began to frequently accompany their parents to drinking parties and banquets.

At first, Jane was a little envious, but after accepting this reality, she gradually learned to comfort herself and enjoyed the peace and quiet.

After all, she did gain her freedom and no longer needed to think twice before doing what she wanted.

After getting into university, Jian Ailing went home less often.

Having left the Jian family, she felt the allure of freedom even more. Jian Ailing joined various clubs, frequently traveled with classmates, and even set up a photography studio with friends from her photography class.

But in her senior year, when she occasionally went home on weekends, she found that her parents always looked worried and could get furious over the smallest things.

Later, she heard that her sister had found a boyfriend.

That was Yu Yunting, the future heir of the Tianheng Group.

Although Jian Ailing didn't know much about the Jian family's business dealings, she had heard of Tianheng Group.

Tianheng Group has a vast business empire, encompassing aviation and shipbuilding, and is also the largest customer of the Jian family's Chaoyuan Group.

When Jian Ailing returned home for winter break, she found that her parents' worried expressions had vanished, and the whole house was filled with a festive atmosphere.

Moreover, the atmosphere at home has subtly changed. Not only do the parents always revolve around the older sister, but even at family gatherings, the other elders seem to look up to her.

Jane Ailing inquired about the reasons from Jane Sen and then understood that due to the soaring prices of raw materials overseas and the fluctuations in the trade situation, their products could not be delivered on time, and Chaoyuan Group faced huge contract compensation and a funding gap of more than 30 billion yuan.

Chao Yuan borrowed 10 billion from the bank and mortgaged and sold some assets, but there is still a 20 billion deficit.

But if the older sister can be with Yu Yunting and climb such a high branch, the problem of the 20 billion will be easily solved.

I have to say, my sister is really amazing. In just two months, she seems to have completely captivated Yu Yunting, and even took him home to have a meal with his family.

Jane Ailing had seen this man on television and in magazines before, but this meal was the first time she had met Yu Yunting in person.

He was even more handsome than in the magazine photos, spoke with great manners, and was also very caring towards his sister.

Jane Ailing jokingly called him brother-in-law at the dinner table. At that moment, Yu Yunting raised the corners of his mouth and smiled in response.

To be honest, when the whole family thought highly of Jian Aiying, Jian Ailing, who was used to being ignored, didn't feel too uncomfortable.

But after having a meal with Yu Yunting, she felt a vague sense of jealousy growing in her heart.

She seemed unable to resist being attracted to that man either.

In addition, Jian Aiying would intentionally or unintentionally bring up some details of their relationship in front of her, which made Jian Ailing also have the urge to fall in love.

Coincidentally, Zhou Ze'an graduated and returned to China at this time. He and Jian Sen had been friends since childhood, and he and Jian Ailing were childhood sweethearts.

With Jason's help, Zhou Ze'an confessed his feelings to her.

Seeing her sister immersed in her sweet romance, Jian Ailing also felt a little impulsive and wanted to try what it felt like to be in love, so she nodded in agreement.

She didn't want to remain a bystander in her sister and Yu Yunting's love story forever; she also wanted to experience that wonderful feeling.

This relationship was somewhat naive and innocent. From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Zean had always taken special care of her, and Jian Ailing was used to treating him as an older brother.

Looking back, this relationship was actually partly a competition with her sister. Jane wanted to prove that she could also find a boyfriend who treated her well.

To everyone's surprise, in the third month of Jian Aiying and Yu Yunting's relationship, Jian Aiying told her that she was going to marry Yu Yunting.

Although Jane was shocked, she still expressed her blessings to her sister over the phone.

"Ailing, Yunting and I are having our engagement party next month, you absolutely have to come!" Even through the phone, Jian Ailing could hear the joy and happiness in her sister's voice.

"Don't worry, sis, I'll definitely be back!"

During that period, the entire Jian family was filled with joy.

Although Jian Aiying is still studying away from home, her parents can always see the various expensive gifts they have prepared for her in the family group chat.

Jane didn't know much about engagement ceremonies, but she could sense that her parents attached great importance to it.

Therefore, Jane Ailing also made a special trip home from school a day early.

"Ailing, tomorrow you'll be in charge of accompanying Aiying to the hotel for makeup. Your parents still need to take care of the relatives first," Wang Shuqin instructed her daughter.

"Okay, Mom, leave it to me! You should get some rest early tonight, or you won't look good tomorrow!" Jian Ailing patted her chest vigorously, smiling as she assured him.

That evening, as Jian Ailing was about to go back to her room to sleep, Jian Aiying suddenly called out to her.

"Ailing, can you come in and chat with me?"
