Unlike Ruan Qi's happy childhood, Cheng Jinyan's early years could be described as 'miserable'.
His father ignored him, and his mother despised him due to his father's infidelity. His uncle and aunt were hostile due to inheritance issues, and even his younger siblings bullied him.
At that time, Cheng Jinyan had not yet demonstrated his exceptional talent, so Cheng Qi naturally didn't value him. Thus, although he was a young master of the Cheng family, he lived worse than a servant.
Cheng Jinyan spoke to his uncle for the first time after being severely beaten by his biological mother, Xu Tingyun.
That day, Xu Tingyun had a fight with Cheng Baisong. Feeling upset when she got home, she vented her anger on her three-year-old son.
Cheng Jinyan was beaten to the point that he couldn't get up from the floor. Fortunately, Uncle Cheng happened to be passing by the main building and couldn't bear to see it, so he rescued him.
