The Rich Family Survival Guide

Lin Wan held up her divorce certificate, still stained with hot pot grease, and flashed a V sign at her ex-husband and his new lover. Who says a divorced woman in her thirties has to cry her eyes out? She carried her leftovers into a rooftop addition and promptly turned the wealthy Gu family upside down. She showed up for a nanny interview wearing a funeral shroud by mistake, then bowed to the impeccably dressed Gu Yanchens: “Is this what rich people wear to formal occasions?” When she set off the whole house alarm by cooking luosifen, she calmly tucked a scented sachet into a gas mask. “President Gu, want to try osmanthus?” While the other nannies were learning flower arranging and etiquette, she was doing mop dances in the park with Old Master Gu and helping the elderly ladies snap up discounted eggs. Gu Yanchens watched this woman turn his tailored suit into an apron and open beer bottles with his diamond cuff links, and for the first time, he thought his villa was too quiet. Then, at a shareholders’ meeting, he suddenly pulled out a ring. “Lin Wan, how about you ‘make a mess’ of my assets and put them on your household registration, too?” From a bare-bones apartment to a mansion, from a shrew her ex-husband despised to a square-dancing queen pursued by a domineering CEO, Lin Wan proved through personal experience that divorce isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of laughing at life from a new angle. After all, she’s the only person in the world who can turn a wealthy household into a farmer’s market.
