He couldn't help but recall his childhood, when he first met his younger cousin at his aunt's funeral.
Because his aunt had been suffering from depression and harbored resentment towards the old general for marrying her into the Ling Family, she never brought Ling Xiche back home.
Therefore, before that, they never met each other.
They were about the same age, and Cheng Yanzhi was wild in his ways! Unlike Ling Xiche, he had a complete family; loving parents who adored him, and under his grandfather's influence, he lived a life of privilege since he was a child.
So, upon their first meeting, he felt pity for his melancholic and silent cousin.
After the passing of his aunt, Mr. Ling was desolate with grief, and Che was brought up by his grandfather.
The old man said, "Yanzhi, this is your younger brother, you must make allowances for him."
Cheng Yanzhi always did, he never competed with Ling Xiche for anything he wanted!
