Chen Hua and Chen Jiali were not only classmates but also cousins.
Chen Hua's grandfather had two children. His eldest son is Chen Jiali's father, who ran a pharmaceutical company. He was a rather successful businessman in Jianglan City. Also, with Chen Jiali's successful kissing up to Jiang Qin, their family business benefited from various cooperations.
Chen Hua's family, on the hand, had an honest, salaried father and a stay-at-home mother.
Chen Hua's grandfather naturally doted on his eldest son who had a successful career. Chen Hua's family relied on Chen Jiali's family for many things, so they couldn't really live with dignity.
In the eyes of Chen Hua's parents, Chen Jiali had good grades and was beautiful while Chen Hua had average grades and was fat. So, they often scolded Chen Hua and asked her to learn from Chen Jiali.
