Blurb:

Wen Le's grandfather was a literary giant who moved to the mountains to write and stayed there for decades.

Wen Le grew up living in the mountains with her grandparents.

Only after starting school did Wen Le realize that her family had just one black-and-white television, while her classmates all had color TVs.

So from a young age, Wen Le understood that she came from a poor family and had to work hard.

-

But gradually, Wen Le realized something didn't add up.

She cautiously called her grandfather.

“Grandpa, what did those two keys you and Dad gave me when I got into college mean?”

Her grandfather snorted. “I gave you a courtyard house, and your dad gave you a whole building.”

Wen Le's heart skipped a beat. “What about that document Dad asked me to sign a few days ago?”

Her grandfather snorted. “How would I know? But your dad did buy a gemstone mine recently.”

Wen Le asked gingerly, “Grandpa, are we really not poor?”

Her grandfather was so angry he called her an idiot.

-

When Wen Le got together with Zhou Kao, the aloof campus heartthrob who kept his distance from everyone, the whole school went into an uproar.

Zhou Kao was the young master of a wealthy family, while Wen Le was a poor girl from the mountains.

They were from completely different worlds, so Wen Le was branded a scheming woman trying to marry into a rich family.

That was until someone secretly filmed the two of them.

In the video, Zhou Kao actually cornered Wen Le in a secluded spot, twirling her long hair. “I heard the jewelry you're wearing is worth a million, but you bought it at a street stall for twenty yuan?”

Wen Le smiled. “Maybe the stall owner was my dad.”

“But what about you, handsome?” Wen Le lifted Zhou Kao's chin, her eyes full of flirtation. “How much does a face worth tens of millions go for?”

Zhou Kao, the aloof campus heartthrob known as an impossible conquest, was almost obsessed with her. He lowered his head to kiss her, his voice hoarse. “That'll be ten yuan.”

Wen Le laughed and dodged him. “Ten yuan sounds a little expensive, doesn't it?”

Zhou Kao gritted his teeth and kissed her. “I'll pay you ten yuan.”

The whole school was stunned!

Coming soon, please add The Street-Stall Socialite to your collection.

In her senior year of college, heiress Mu Yunman insisted on starting a business with her classmates.

Her father, however, wanted her to get her marriage certificate as soon as she graduated.

Mu Yunman had a fiancé she'd never met. However...

Their first meeting took place at a street stall.

Fu Qinghe was walking past the plaza with a female companion when he saw Mu Yunman and her friend running a street stall.

When the woman saw Mu Yunman's breathtakingly beautiful face, she tugged the man beside her along.

But Mu Yunman ran after them.

The woman gave a little laugh. “Some women go out and show their faces under the pretense of helping with household expenses, but really they're just trying to hook a man. A friend of mine is hiring at a nightclub. Want me to introduce you?”

Mu Yunman didn't lose her smile. She held out the earring the woman had accidentally dropped. “It must be tough carrying a knockoff bag. Doesn't your sugar daddy feel embarrassed? Why doesn't he get you a real one?”

One line put two people in their place.

-

They met for the second time at their engagement banquet.

The media swarmed the engagement of two wealthy families.

The newly engaged couple, meeting for only the second time, smiled sweetly for the cameras.

Mu Yunman held a wineglass, her smile unchanged as she faced the cameras and asked softly, “Did you sort things out with your female companion?”

The man kept smiling and said quietly, “I thought giving each other enough space was the most basic form of respect in a business marriage.”

-

Later...

Fu Qinghe gripped his phone, the veins in his hand standing out. “Where are you? It's ten at night. Why aren't you home?”

“Out running a street stall and hooking men.”

Fu Qinghe's voice dropped. “...Stop messing around. I just got back from a business trip, and I miss you.”

The sounds on Mu Yunman's end were a little noisy. “...What? I can't hear you. Besides, Mr. Fu, I thought giving each other enough space was the most basic form of respect in a business marriage.”

“Beep, beep, beep...”

Fu Qinghe: ...

Don't ask. He just regrets it.

-

Assistant: “President Mu, our store's sales have reached a million this month!”

Mu Yunman was thrilled. “My marketing skills are amazing!”

Assistant: “An 800,000-yuan order came from a Mr. Fu Qinghe.”

Mu Yunman: That dog of a man couldn't even place it anonymously!

That evening, Mu Yunman looked at Fu Qinghe, kneeling on a keyboard. “Do you still not know what you did wrong?”

Fu Qinghe: ...

A grand-scale, regretful pursuit of his wife.
