I Pretended to Go Bankrupt and Set Up a Snack Stall, Then My Ex-Wife Asked to Get Back Together

Li Xu and Huo Na were classmates in elementary school and neighbors, too.

After elementary school, though, they went to different middle schools, high schools, and universities. Then one of them moved away, and they lost touch.

Years later, Li Xu decided to become an online novelist, but at twenty-five, he was still penniless.

With no way to contact Huo Na, Li Xu happened to run into her while out shopping.

As a joke, he confessed his feelings to Huo Na on the spot.

To his surprise, she actually said yes!

The Huo family strongly opposed their precious daughter getting together with a penniless man like Li Xu.

Huo Na begged her family, and managed to win Li Xu a three-year "trial period."

Five years later, Li Xu is thirty, has thirty million in savings, owns seven restaurant chains, and has a four-year-old son.

By then, Li Xu has been led astray by a scheming woman and divorced his wife.

Suspecting something is off about the woman, Li Xu pretends to go bankrupt and sets up a street-food stall at the night market.

The woman promptly dumps him.

That's when his ex-wife shows up. "I'll work the stall with you. Don't think I've forgiven you. I'm just worried you won't be able to pay child support!"
