My mother was the real heiress, but she was terribly unlucky. She was born a rich family's daughter, yet ended up as the eldest daughter in a rural family that favored sons over daughters. After eighteen miserable years, she finally made it back to her family, only to discover that her parents loved the fake heiress and that they had only taken her back so she could marry for the family's benefit.
My father was unlucky too. He had once been a carefree young heir, but then his parents got into trouble and the company went bankrupt. In the end, he could only make a living as a landlord, renting out his properties. He had just sold two buildings in a run-down residential complex for a low price when the area was slated for demolition and redevelopment.
Even worse, those two actually got married!!!
Of course, their daughter was even more unfortunate. From the day she was born, she was the fake heiress's daughter's little sidekick. Then, at the age of sixteen, she took the fall for the fake heiress's daughter and was killed by her kidnappers.
In the end, the real heiress went mad. She tried to take the fake heiress down with her, but was hit by a car and killed. The young heir was also killed by a car while trying to save her.
After all three of them died, the house they had been renting out was inherited by the fake heiress, and eventually became her daughter's dowry.
The little epiphyllum, who had just fulfilled her brief mission and become the real heiress's daughter: So I still have to die?
But she soon realized something was wrong. Every time her family suffered a bout of bad luck, the fake heiress's family got luckier.
The little epiphyllum was furious. So her family were just cannon fodder?
The real heiress had repeatedly failed at starting businesses over the years, but every project she failed at was turned into a success by the fake heiress, who made a fortune and even earned a reputation as a business prodigy. So this time, she suddenly didn't want to try. She was so unlucky anyway.
"Mom, you're unlucky, but I'm not. Why not let me give it a try?"
The little epiphyllum took over the real heiress's project, and, to her surprise, it worked.
The fake heiress, who had been waiting to take over the real heiress's project, stared blankly at the real heiress making a fortune: This isn't how the story is supposed to go.
Her young-heir father collected rent every day, but for some reason, his rental income kept shrinking. He steeled himself and prepared to sell two buildings in the run-down complex. The land couldn't be rented out anyway, and maintaining the buildings cost money. Just then, the little epiphyllum appeared.
"Dad, Dad, everyone else has property, but I don't."
Before long, the little epiphyllum had completely renovated the two buildings in their run-down complex, turning them into the warmest home for migrant workers.
The fake heiress's family, who had been waiting to buy the buildings cheaply: This isn't how the story is supposed to go. Weren't they supposed to buy them and then make a fortune when the area was redeveloped?
The fake heiress's pampered family noticed that one by one, the people who used to flock around them were leaving. Even worse, arguments were breaking out within the family.
The little epiphyllum waved her hand and said, "Everyone should live their own lives. The rest of you should stay out of it."
Oh, right. Her name now was Lin Qingqing.
And you, too. Stop following me. No one dares bully me anymore.
Shen Yanlin silently glanced at the little epiphyllum's clenched fist, then walked straight past her toward his family's villa, making it clear through his actions that he just happened to be going the same way.
The little epiphyllum, Lin Qingqing: "..."
