History[]
- "Just admit it. Admit you wanted to ruin my Thanksgiving."
"Yes! Because Thanksgiving is mine! It's the one time I get attention for the right reasons... Not because a car backed into me or I pet the wrong deer or... had a tattoo get infected."
"I told you not to get a tattoo at the airport."
"Why couldn't you just let me have this? You have everything else! Your business is semi-successful. Your marriage is solid." - ―Jessica Huang and Connie Chen

Since childhood, Connie and Jessica always hated each other and argued over who was better. They also tried to fight over the affections of their mother. Jessica was always intimidated by Connie for being better and more successful than she was, but apparently, Connie felt similarly about her, only she thought Jessica was liked more by their mother. Their rivalry never stopped and even as adults, Connie and her family became very rich and successful and the Chens would still occasionally come to visit the Huangs and brag about how much better her life is than Jessica's.
In the episode "Success Perm", Connie made her first appearance in the series where she once again visited the Huangs so that she could brag to them. Connie underwent breast implants and therefore quit jogging because of this. Like before, they still constantly fought over the affections of Grandma Chu.
Connie
Finding Emery and Evan sleeping in a closet, Connie then is able to find out that Jessica has been lying to her the whole time that she is just as upper class as Connie. However, Connie loses her ability to brag as well when the police report that the Chens are at risk of becoming default on debt.
In "Huangsgiving", it is revealed that Connie's marriage with Steve fell apart due to their debt.
