His mother was following the same playbook of a wicked stepmother and mean stepson. His unlucky brother's name was Wang Yun! Well, after all, she was his own mother, so of course she'd side with her relatives. *Not long after, Wang Xiaowen heard his father holding him and introducing his unlucky brother, who had just returned from studying abroad, "Shouren, this is your younger brother." Wang Xiaowen? Wait, isn't his brother's name Wang Yun?!</p>
