The Road to Fortune

1.

Everyone in their circle knows that Young Master Lu has someone precious to him, and it's no exaggeration to say he gives her anything she asks for.

Only Qiao Yan knows the truth. Spoiling her? Hardly. She's just a hired prop, brought in by Lu Qingyu to fend off all the women pursuing him. She gets paid by the month, and the jewelry, designer clothes, mansion, and sports car are all props that have to be returned afterward.

But everyone outside insists Qiao Yan is Lu Qingyu's precious darling. Today, he gives her a limited-edition CHANEL piece; tomorrow, the latest Cartier; and once, he even drove an Aston Martin DBX right up to her. They pull out all the stops just to get Qiao Yan to put in a good word with him.

Faced with these temptations, Qiao Yan can only weep inside: I want them, but where's the pillow I'm supposed to whisper into?

Strangely enough, anyone who approaches Qiao Yan later gets a chance to work with Lu Corporation or secures resources through its connections. They all end up prospering.

They say Qiao Yan must be the God of Wealth in human form. To show their gratitude, they all start making "offerings" to her.

Qiao Yan refuses, but they get upset and insist on shoving the gifts into her hands!

2.

Before long, Lu Qingyu's childhood sweetheart returns.

Now a secretly wealthy woman, Qiao Yan packs her bags overnight, determined not to cause her client any trouble.

But before she can even leave the prop mansion, someone blocks the door.

Lu Qingyu glances at the luxurious, custom-made suitcase in her hand and asks, "I helped you get rich, and now you're abandoning me and running off?"

Qiao Yan: "..."

Talking about helping each other get rich while we're on the road to riches? What a waste of money.

[Bonus scene]

At a birthday party, everyone gathers around the childhood sweetheart, praising how well she and Lu Qingyu suit each other, like a perfect couple.

As for Qiao Yan, she's just a pretty vase he's interested in for the moment.

The childhood sweetheart tells them not to say such things. Given Qiao Yan's background, she says, wanting a better life is only natural; they can consider it charity... Everyone bursts out laughing.

Just then, the butler comes to announce, "Mr. Lu has arrived."

The childhood sweetheart straightens up to greet him, but the butler adds nervously, "Mr. Lu has come with his fiancee."

From that night on, everyone knows one thing: the fiancee Lu Qingyu went to such lengths to win back is Qiao Yan.
