After I Got Rich, My Mother-in-Law Liked Me Even Less

[Main story complete, bonus chapters complete]

[The male lead chases his wife after losing her / Sweet romance / The second male lead takes the lead]

[1]

Back when Shen Jia was in school, she secretly dated Xie Beicheng.

Xie Beicheng lived in a rented apartment and was so poor his clothes had patches. Shen Jia figured she must have had rocks in her head to date him.

The Shen family strongly opposed the relationship, afraid their daughter would suffer if she married a poor man. But Shen Jia pleaded and wheedled until her parents finally gave in. They thought that even if their future son-in-law was poor, they could still make a life together.

They never expected that the poor young man from back then was actually the heir to Nancheng's top wealthy family, the Xies, and would become a rich young master overnight.

Xie Beicheng thought that at last he could make a good impression on his future father- and mother-in-law. Surely the marriage would be settled now.

Instead, Shen Jia's parents were even less satisfied with him. They either suspected he was cheating or worried that he'd get carried away and turn his back on them.

Even Shen Jia said he had changed and insisted they break up.

After staying up all night at the office yet again, Xie Beicheng nearly spat blood. His eyes were ringed with dark circles.

Changed, my ass. I just want to get a good night's sleep.

After the breakup, Xie Beicheng regretted it and went back to win Shen Jia over.

He thought Shen Jia would wait for him forever. But when he ran to her apartment, he saw a handsome, refined man walking out of her place.

The man was named Chen Yanzhi. He was just a doctor, but now he was looking at Xie Beicheng coolly, one hand in his pocket, speaking with the air of a victor.

"You and her are in the past. From now on, I'm the one by her side."

Coming Soon: After My Family Pressured Me to Marry, I Rented a Man to Take Home

Not long after Jiang Shan graduated from college, her stepsister found herself a rich boyfriend.

Jiang's mother was so shaken by this that she started pressuring Jiang Shan to get married every day, introducing her to potential dates every few days. She couldn't let Jiang Shan's stepmother have the last laugh.

Jiang's mother called and told her to come home for the National Day holiday, saying that the boy next door, Old Wang's son, had studied abroad and started his own company. He was single, too.

Jiang Shan's mouth twitched. She hurriedly rented a boyfriend online so she could go home and deal with her mother. She'd tried it once before and found it worked quite well.

At the cafe, Jiang Shan kept a straight face and spoke as if discussing business. "Please keep tomorrow night free and come home with me for dinner."

The man in the suit frowned slightly. "I have a meeting tomorrow night. I might not be able to..."

Jiang Shan immediately cut him off and took out her phone. "No problem, I'll ask someone else."

The suited man smiled warmly, like a spring breeze. "It's fine. I can reschedule."

On a date with her newly rented boyfriend at the Ferris wheel, Jiang Shan happened to run into the man in the suit.

The suited man asked, "Why didn't you ask me this time?"

Jiang Shan rubbed her chin, perfectly serious. "You're too expensive. I can't afford to rent you."

The suited man said, "That's fine. I can lower my price."

Jiang Shan: "…"
